If you’ve landed on Fortis Sports Trading and thought:
“This sounds interesting… but I’m not really sure what it is or how it works.”
You’re not alone.
This guide explains — in plain English — how sports trading works, how people use our strategies, and how you can get started step by step.
No hype. No guarantees. Just the facts.
First: What Is Sports Trading?
Sports trading is different from traditional betting.
Instead of “hoping” a team wins, you are using long-term strategies designed to find value in betting markets — mainly on the Betfair Exchange.
Our focus is lay trading, which means:
You are betting against certain outcomes that data shows are overpriced.
Over time, when applied consistently and with good risk management, this can generate steady returns — similar to how an investment strategy works.
This is not gambling for thrills.
It is closer to running a small, data-driven trading portfolio.
Can This Create Passive Income?
Yes — when done properly.
Most of our members aim to:
Follow proven strategies
Use automation software
Let trades run in the background
Review results monthly, not daily
Once set up, many people spend less than 10 minutes per week managing everything.
However:
There are no guarantees.
Losses happen.
Results depend on discipline and long-term thinking.
You should treat this like an investment — not a quick win.
Step 1: Choose a Strategy
At Fortis Sports Trading, we publish multiple proven systems based on historical data.
Your first job is simple:
Understand the risk level (analyse the systems in depth before committing)
Choose the system(s) that suit you
Some people start with one.
Others build a small “portfolio” of systems.
There is no rush.
Step 2: Create Your Betting Bank (Your Investment Pot)
Next, you need to open a Betfair account and deposit money.
This is your betting bank — think of it like an investment account.
Only use money you can afford to leave untouched. Treat this like you have invested in an index fund and aim tio leave it for a set period.
Example:
“I’m investing £1,000 for 6 months.
I won’t withdraw unless I review after that period.”
Many experienced traders also set rules like:
Withdraw original stake after doubling (everything become risk free)
Review every 3–6 months
Never chase losses
This mindset protects you long-term.
Step 3: Join Fortis Membership
Once you have a bank and a plan, you choose the Fortis membership that suits you.
This gives you:
Daily selections
Full access to strategies
Ongoing support and updates
You can follow one system or all of them — it’s up to you. Membership has been priced to support acehiveable long term goals with a normal betting bank.
Step 4: Automate Everything (Highly Recommended)
This is where sports trading becomes “passive”.
Instead of placing bets manually every day, you can use automation software that:
Connects securely to your Betfair account
Places trades automatically
Follows your rules
Removes emotion and human error
Once set up, it runs in the background while you live your life.
At the moment, we recommend xCloudBot for automation. See here.
Our own Fortis Automation platform is currently in development and will make this even simpler when released.
Step 5: Protect Your Bank with Proper Staking
Risk management is what separates successful traders from failed ones.
We use a “points system” to control risk. You need to decide you point per trade now, and stick to it.
Example:
Bank: £1,000
Points: 200
Value per point: £5
Each trade = £5
If you make 20 points → £100 profit
If you lose 5 points → £25 loss
This keeps losses small and sustainable.
Overstaking is the fastest way to fail.
Step 6: Let It Run (Think Long Term)
Once everything is set up:
Strategy chosen
Bank funded
Automation running
Stakes configured
Your job is mostly done.
Think of it like investing in an index fund:
You don’t check it every day.
You review it monthly or quarterly.
Most successful members focus on consistency, not daily results.

Being honest with yourself here saves time and money.
