    Draw Master Review

    Welcome to the Draw Master Review which will see us put this draw-focussed football tipping service under the microscope for 90 days.

    The service is provided by tipster Hamish who operates under the “Betting Gods” banner.  Tips for the next day’s matches are sent the evening before the matches concerned and the Draw Master Review will track all aspects of the service, including results and returns to £10 level stakes.

    drawmasterreviewQuick Summary

    The table below will show the cumulative performance of the service at the end of months 1, 2 & 3.

    SUMMARY OF REVIEW

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£150.60
    Number of bets 417
    Number of wins 117
    Strike Rate 28.05%
    Bank Growth -15.1%
    Return On Investment -3.6%
    Review Period 10th March to 9th June 2018
    Cost £39.95 per month £99.95 per quarter £349.95 per year

    Month 1 Summary

    The first month of our Drawmaster review was patchy. A healthy profit of 21 points in the first two weeks had fallen to 1.6 by the end of the first month’s selections. A tad disappointing given that, since its launch in October 2017, the service had been delivering steady profits.

    Drawmaster is a simple concept. Every selection is a draw to a single point stake. The recommended bank is 50 points. Selections are notified by email during the evening prior to match day. Selections can also be accessed through the Betting Gods site and apps are available. Advised odds ranged from 2.75 to 6.0 but are generally in the 3.1-3.6 range.

    The selections include matches from every continent and some obscure leagues and you may need more than one bookmaker to ensure the bet can be covered. Advised odds can be met usually, if in doubt backing on an exchange will often better the advised price even after allowing for commission.

    Tips arrive almost every day – only one no bet day in the first month of the review. Weekends are particularly busy often with over 30 bets. You need to allow plenty of time to place your bets on the busy days, especially if you want to shop around for the best price.

    Number of bets 194
    Number of wins 57
    Strike Rate 29.4%
    Return On Investment 0.82%

    Month 2 Summary

    The second month of our Drawmaster review was disappointing. There were very few winning days and the strike rate fell from 29.4% to 23.10%.

    Overall there was a loss during the month of just over 31 points for the Drawmaster review.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£312.00
    Number of bets 156
    Number of wins 36
    Strike Rate 23.10%
    Return On Investment -20.00%

    Month 3 Summary

    There was a dramatic turnaround in the third and final month of the Draw Master Review. Last month’s loss of £312 (to a £10 stake) was transformed to a profit of almost £146 as the strike rate rose from 23% to nearly 36%.

    However, there were far fewer selections than in each of the first two months so the excellent performance was not enough to return the Review to an overall profit.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£145.90
    Number of bets 67
    Number of wins 24
    Strike Rate 35.8%
    Return On Investment 21.8%

    Draw Master Tips Conclusion

    It’s a very straightforward service as all stakes are 1 point per bet. The review was based on 1 point = £10 and given a notional betting bank of £1000. As the name suggests the service exclusively focuses on draws on the 1 X 2 market.

    During the busiest periods (for football generally) you get tips almost every day. You receive an email even on blank days so you are not left wondering whether you have missed something.

    When looking at the review period in isolation it’s difficult to be over enthusiastic despite the recovery and very good strike rate in Month three, so the service would not be regarded as viable.. However, if the Month two performance can be regarded as a one-off aberration then the service merits a watching brief, and perhaps a further review a few weeks into the new (European) season.

  • Each Way Leader Review

    Each Way Leader Review

    Each Way Leader Review

    Welcome to our Each Way Leader review which is a horse racing service under the Betting Gods umbrella.

    This service aims to back underdogs each way at average odds of between 9/1 and 10/1 and tips are sent out by e mail the night before racing which allows plenty of time to place these prior to racing.

    It is stated that subscribers can expect between 50 and 60 selections per month and the recommended starting bank is 150 points.

    The current cost is £30 per month, £60 per quarter or £180 per year. It can readily be seen that the longer the subscription period then the cheaper it becomes per month.

    There is a 30 day refund period and cancellation after that can be made at anytime.

    Selections have started to arrive for the review and I shall report back with an update and the results in a months time.

    Month 1 Summary

    We have been trialling the Each Way Leader service which is run under the umbrella of the Betting Gods service for a month now and I am pleased to report that during that time, it has made a healthy profit of £201.25 to £10 each way stakes.

    The selections are sent out by e mail in plenty of time to place your bets, and are also available in the membership area on the Betting Gods website. I personally have had no difficulty in obtaining the odds quoted although, Oddschecker has been useful at times in finding the best odds available. I would also suggest that if betting via the bookmakers that those offering BOG are used where appropriate.

    The last month has seen racing quite badly affected by the weather and this is perhaps reflected in the number of selections, which from the 1st to 31st March was only twenty three. However, ten of these were winners for the system which gives a strike rate of some 43% with a return on investment of 20.1%.

    Normally during this period we could expect between fifty and sixty selections and we shall see how month two progresses.

    I shall be monitoring the results for Each Way Leader for a total of three months and will report back in a months’ time with a further update. I am hopeful that after a good start albeit with some inclement weather and conditions somewhat against us that month two will produce even better results.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£201.25
    Number of bets 23
    Number of wins 10
    Strike Rate 43%
    Return On Investment 20.1%

    Month 2 Summary

    The second month the Each Way Leader review has not been as good as the first. Whilst we are still showing an overall profit, the bank has decreased slightly since the beginning of the month and the profit now stands at £140.25 as against £201.25 at the end of last month.

    This is not disastrous and I feel confident that this tiny shortfall will be made up in the third and final month of the trial. The selections continue to arrive in plenty of time to realise most of the quoted prices and as stated before are either obtained via e mail or through the members area of Betting Gods.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£61.00
    Number of bets 25
    Number of wins 9
    Strike Rate 36%
    Return On Investment 14.02%

    Month 3 Summary

    The third and final month of our review of the Each Way Leader service has now ended and I am pleased to report that there has been an increase in profits from last month.

    The total profit from the start of the trial now stands at £289.25 which is approaching a 30% increase in our starting bank in only three months.
    The selections continue to arrive in plenty of time and in the main, it is not too difficult to obtain the prices quoted.

    This is a steady service with generally just the one bet per day. During the period of the trial, the longest losing run was seven.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£149.00
    Number of bets 27
    Number of wins 11
    Strike Rate 40.7%
    Return On Investment 27.63%

    Each Way Leader Conclusion

    Overall, the trial has been successful and has delivered a profit in each of the three months. There was a dip in profits in the second month but, this has been eradicated in the final month and the overall profit increased further.

    I have no hesitation in giving this service four stars.

  • The Bookies Enemy Review

    The Bookies Enemy Review

    The Bookies Enemy Review

    bookiesenemyreview Welcome to our Bookies Enemy review, a horse racing tipster service run by Gary Poole, who looks to have been tipping horses for some time now, and certainly has some loyal followers. We will be recording every result that he has over the next 90 days, and see whether he can make us a good return.

    Selections are sent by email each evening from around 7pm Monday to Sunday, and can also be accessed via the members section. The Bookies Enemy review will be recorded at advised stakes and prices, as well as to £10 level stakes.

    From first inspection I notice the following key points from The Bookies Enemy:

    • 100 points betting bank advised
    • Bets are advised to be backed to win or each way
    • An average monthly profit of just over £400 is claimed to advised £10 stakes
    • Average winning odds look to be around the 12/1 mark
    • Strike rate at around 20%, which is excellent for the price of horses advised

    Quick Summary

    The table below will show the cummulative performance of the service at the end of months 1, 2 & 3.

    £240 per year

    Month 1 Summary

    Well, we’ve come to the end of our first month for The Bookies Enemy review, and I have to say I’m very happy with the way things are going for this service. Gary generally provides selections to win or back each way, with the occasional double, treble or reverse double if he feels particularly confident about his picks.

    The strike rate for the month doesn’t look healthy at just 9% returning some sort of return, but the profit certainly paints a different picture. Gary opts for generally higher priced horses, at an average of 12/1 for the first month of testing, but it certainly pays off as a 50/1 winner proves (was much higher on Betfair I noticed.)

    When comparing our standard £10 per bet, £20 if an each way bet I don’t see much difference in profit when using the advised stakes that Gary advises to use. So either way is suitable for this service.

    I will be very interested to see how the next two months of testing The Bookies Enemy goes, as I have a feeling it’s going to be good. Gary has been around for a fair few years, and is respected by many professionals in the field, so watch this space.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£255.00
    Number of bets 65
    Number of wins 6
    Strike Rate 9.2%
    Return On Investment 35.31%

    Month 2 Summary

    We’ve now reached the end of our second month of testing The Bookies Enemy review, and results have been very positive. Gary prefers to go pick value selections when he thinks everything is just right, and this has certainly paid well the last month. Level stakes compared to advised stakes has faired better with regards to how much profit was made, and the strike rate has increased along with our total return on investment.

    Most selections have been win only or each way picks and the occasional reverse forecast. This is certainly a service that I am enjoying reviewing, and would be more than willing to pay for with such excellent information.

    With selections being sent the evening before racing this is a attractive service for people who work 9-5 in the week. I’m looking forward to seeing how the final month of The Bookies Enemy review plays out now we are fully into the flat season.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£87.20
    Number of bets 74
    Number of wins 14
    Strike Rate 18.9
    Return On Investment 10.5%

    Month 3 Summary

    This third and final month of The Bookies Enemy review continued in the same way that it has in the previous two months. Which is a lower strike rate than we’d liked, but nonetheless there was profit seen yet again.

    The service provides selections in good time, and odds have been always available when we have checked. You will need a suitably sized betting bank to be able to see out the losing runs, but overall this is a professional service that I liked the look of.

    On the results spreadsheet I recorded results to straight level £10 stakes, £10 for the win and £20 for all each way bets (£10 the win, £10 for the place.) This is what the statistics have been based around for the review. If you take a look to the advised stakes you will see that the profit made is higher, so it certainly looks like Gary Poole knows how to stake too.

    Over the course of the trial a total profit of £828.60 was seen using the tipsters advised stakes. The highest stake size was a two point win, so £20 rather than a £10 level stake. So this may certainly prove to be the way to go rather than to stake to £10 level stakes.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£131.70
    Number of bets 86
    Number of wins 13
    Strike Rate 15.1%
    Return On Investment 12.91%

    The Bookies Enemy Conclusion

    After our three month review of The Bookies Enemy I am happy to say that I recommend anyone to try out this service. Set yourself up with a betting bank of at least one hundred points, and follow Gary’s staking advise and you won’t go far wrong. I’d have to say I would rate this tipster a four out of five.

    Chloe’s Football Focus Review

    Chloe’s Football Focus Review

    Welcome to our Chloe’s Football Focus review, where you will see us put this football betting tipster service from Betting Gods under scrutiny for 90 days…

    chloesfootballfocusreviewQuick Summary

    Welcome to Chloe’s Football Focus review, a football betting service run by Chloe. She specialises in providing selections in markets where the bookmakers have overlooked the value that is on offer, so in turn giving us some nicely priced winners. She is selective, and generally only provides one or two selections per day, so quality certainly looks assured.

    We will be recording every result that she has over the next 90 days, and see whether she can make us a good profit. I have been looking forward to testing this service out, as I have read many good things about the service.

    Selections are sent out each morning around 9am, as well as being available via the members section of the site. The Chloe’s Football Focus review will be recorded at advised stakes and prices, as well as to £10 level stakes.

    From a look around the site I can see the following key points about the service:

    • 150 points betting bank advised

    • Bets are in various markets including win or draw, half time/full time, overs markets etc.

    • An average profit of £610 is claimed to £10 level stakes

    • Average odds of 4.5

    • Strike rate of around 28%, which is ideal for those looking for a stable service to use

    Review Period 12th March to 11th June 2018
    Cost £25 per month £50 per quarter £150 per year

    Month 1 Summary

    We have now come to the end of month one for Chloe’s Football Focus review, and although when looking to the statistics for backing to straight £10 level stakes doesn’t look that impressive at first glance, if you had bet to the advised stakes you’d have seen a much improved profit figure of £377.80. So in this case it looks as though following the suggested staking certainly pays off.

    A strike rate of 33% is reassuring and we’re never kept waiting long until we see the next winner. A variety of football markets are covered, from straight win markets to overs and understo double result. All easily found on any bookmakers website.

    I do like this service, as although there are not too many selections, when there are, they are good quality picks which you can be confident in putting your money on. The betting bank is never at risk too, so for anyone who likes sure and steady services this is one I would say look at. The next two months will be interesting to see if this continues.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£41.60
    Number of bets 42
    Number of wins 14
    Strike Rate 33.3%
    Return On Investment 9.9%

    Month 2 Summary

    Month two has now come to it’s conclusion for the Chloe’s Football Focus review. Results have been somewhat disappointing with a negative profit figure shown backing to level stakes. The same can be said backing to advised stakes too. Having said that betting to advised stakes you would be ahead by £268.30 over the two months, so this may well be a better option to go for.

    One thing that I do like with this service is that the strike rate is high enough to install a degree of confidence, there is never long until another winner.

    The selections themselves are easy enough to locate on both Bookmakers and Betfair, and I would say that Chloe’s Football Focus review is going well, but only if you bet to the advised stakes. It will be interesting to see how the service pans out now the main football season has finished for the top European leagues.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£53.20
    Number of bets 31
    Number of wins 13
    Strike Rate 42%
    Return On Investment -17.16%

    Month 3 Summary

    The final month has come to an end for the Chloe’s Football Focus review, and a profit has been seen this month albeit a modest one. The strike rate has been reasonable but due to odds been low profits aren’t as high as they could be. I do like this service, so will be keeping a watchful eye on it. I’d say this may be one to keep an eye once the new football season starts back up again in August, there is definitely potential with this service.
    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£83.60
    Number of bets 39
    Number of wins 18
    Strike Rate 46.1%
    Return On Investment 21.44%

    Chloe’s Football Focus Conclusion

    After three months of reviewing Chloe’s Football focus I have to say it is a reliable service to follow, and I will be interested to see how it pans out in once the 2018/2019 football season starts for all the major European leagues. Month one started well, month one dipped a little, then the third and final month pulled back the loss of the previous month to level £10 stakes… However, betting to advised stakes would have seen a very respectable profit of £357.20, which is a decent return. Overall I would rate this service as neutral to level stakes, and approved to advised stakes. Definitely one to watch next season. With a steady strike rate around 40% you are never without a winner for long.

    Racing Investment Review

    Welcome to our Racing Investment review, where you will see us put this horse racing tipster service from Betfan under scrutiny for 3 months. Racing Investment is claimed to be more of a betting system than a tipping service and usually advises 3 to 4 selections per week. Racing Investment also stated to run the system the night before racing  and again in the morning to ensure circumstances haven’t changed e.g. going and non runners. The daily selections are posted online and a username and password issued to allow access to the member’s area. However this is a back up as Racing Investment also email all selections by mid morning. They have also issued a staking plan which promises to help maximise earning potential from selections and the daily advice is said to be clear on what to stake on which selection.  The owner also advises that any selection that he gives, his money is also down on too.

    Month 1 Summary

    The Racing Investment review got off to a bad start with just 2 wins from 9 bets in 17 days showing a loss of £230 using £10 level stakes on the £1000 Bank. The remainder of the month showed no improvement as can be seen from the figures below, in spite of there being 6 more winning bets which brought the losses down by only £40.03. 8 winning bets in a month needs to be of high odds in order to entice punters to afford the subscriptions and pocket some profit. Selections were obtained from the Betfan Member’s area which requires a User Name and Password, and were clear and easy to understand and posted usually before 11.00 am on the day of racing. Let’s hope the second month of The Racing Investment review will show better results.

    Rod’s Runners Review

    Welcome to our Rod’s Runners review, where you will see us put this football betting tipster service from Betting Gods under scrutiny for 90 days…

    rodsrunnersreviewQuick Summary

    Today, we are commencing our Rods Runners review. This is a horse racing system which like many is overseen by the Betting Gods platform. Apparently from the information given on the site, Rod was at university when he got bitten by the horse racing bug and over the years has graduated from amateur to professional backer. It also states that the average monthly profit is in the region of £820! The aim of this service is to back good priced horses at average odds of around 18/1. The tips are sent out daily be e mail usually arriving between 9am and 10 am each day. They can also be accessed via the members’ area of the Betting Gods site and via IOS and Android apps. The service aims to send out between 250 and 300 tips a month and the suggested starting bank is 250 points with bets being placed at £10 a point. I shall be using a 100 point bank at £10 a point for the purpose of this trial. The service Rods Runners has a range of subscription options as follows – £40 for a months’ access, £100 per quarter or an annual option for £350. They also offer a 30 day money back guarantee. I shall report back in a months’ time with the first of the three updates in respect of our Rod’s Runners review.

    Month 1 Summary

    We have now been trialling Rod’s Runners for a month and boy oh boy has it been a roller coaster ride! This service is definitely not for the faint hearted. Over the past month, the service has made an incredible profit of £3652.00 using ten pound win or each way stakes as indicated by the selections. During the month, Rod has sent out a phenomenal seven hundred and eighty nine selections (789) of which, some seventy four (74) have been winners. Potential subscribers should be aware that there are massive losing runs which could seriously deplete your starting bank but, despite this, for those who hang in, the reward appears to be there. Emails for the service arrive in plenty of time with at least one set of selections arriving the evening prior to racing. They contain all of the details needed to place the bet including suggested bookmakers and odds currently available. There are sometimes up to four emails a day, each with a lengthy list of selections

    Number of bets 789
    Number of wins 74

    Month 2 Summary

    We are now at the end of the second month of our trial of Rods Runners and boy oh boy have we been busy. This is still a massive roller coaster ride and the selections come thick and fast averaging forty a day. With losing runs sometimes approaching fifty you certainly need a strong stomach to stay with this one however, despite this, the service continues to make a profit. We started this month with £3642.00 in the bank as profit and have ended the month with £7124.50. The bank therefore has almost doubled which is very impressive. The e mails are good and often there are five or so of these a day to cover all UK racing and some of the American meetings. Do not dismiss these as they can be very lucrative.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£3482.50
    Number of bets 1255
    Number of wins 109
    Strike Rate 8.68%
    Return On Investment 23.2%

    Month 3 Summary

    The review of Rods Runners is finally at an end and as with the previous
    months, it has been an extremely busy roller coaster ride.

    During this further period, there have been a massive one thousand, one
    hundred and eight selections (1108) and again there have been some
    staggering losing runs which have seriously depleted the bank. We started
    this month with a profit of £7124.50 and have ended with an overall profit for
    the three months of £4895-50. This is still very good but represents a loss of
    £2129-00 over the month which is not so good.

    Rod himself realised the need for a change in his selections (after some long
    losing runs) and indeed he may have changed the criteria but it has not
    resulted in a rreduction in the number of selections but more likely, an
    increase!

    I have summarised the activity for the final month below:

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£2,129.00
    Number of bets 1108
    Number of wins 79
    Strike Rate 7.13%
    Return On Investment -14.90%

    Rod’s Runners Conclusion

    In conclusion then, the system appears to be profitable but on the downside, it is very very time consuming and requires a strong stomach to cope with the long losing runs. It is difficult to give it a grading but I feel that three stars out of five is fair given the nature of the system.

    L7N Longshots Tipster

    Quick Summary

    L7N Longshots is the brainchild of Michael who also runs another service which we looked at in our Lucky7 Naps Review.  This new racing tipster service launched in April 2015, and according to the sales page has racked up profits of over 2,000 points by backing winners regularly in excess of 20/1.

    We’ll see how those claims stack up to our experience during the review.

    Membership to L7N Longshots gets daily each-way racing tips, which are available inside the member’s area, and are also emailed to you around lunchtime.  Evening racing tips tend to be sent out later in the afternoon, so it’s important you understand that you’re getting a few hours to get your bets on.  I prefer the tips closer to the race start than getting them the night before.  There is more value in getting tips the night before when early prices are higher, but you’re more likely for a bookie to restrict your account.

    Month 1 Summary

    The first month of our L7N review has got off to a blistering start with 17 of the 69 horses bet on coming home to deliver a profit.
    The strike rate of 24.63% is simply staggering for a value backing horse racing system. If this continues throughout the review there’ll be some mind-blowing figures at the end!

    The emails have arrived on time each afternoon and are easy to follow, which makes it easy to place your bets. The tips are also available if you log in to the member’s area with Betfan and having another way of getting access is good.

    All in all our L7N Longshots review has had a spectacular start, with a profit of almost £9,558.50 to advised £10 staking units being amongst the best I’ve ever seen. We’ve also been recording results to £10 level stakes and that would have netted you a profit of £4,681.80 over the month!

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£4,681.80
    Number of bets 69
    Number of wins 17
    Strike Rate 24.63%
    Return On Investment 135.70%

    Month 2 Summary

    Unbelievable stuff again from Michael at L7N Longshots as another £6,239.65 of profit was secured using the service’s advised staking. The total profit actually hit £21,222.55 at one point before having a sticky patch to finish at £15,798.15 after 2 months.

    Even on £10 level stakes the service finished with a profit of £6,110.50 after 2 months, so whichever you cut it, there are some amazing profits to be had. The strike rate this month was 18.42%, so slightly down on month 1 but still excellent for a value tipster.

    The final month of the review is about to begin and barring an almighty collapse, it looks as though it’s going to end with a thoroughly decent profit. I expect a correction at some point because when backing at long odds you always get a lean patch.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£1,428.70
    Number of bets 76
    Number of wins 14
    Strike Rate 18.42%
    Return On Investment 38.00%

    Month 3 Summary

    Well, the correction arrived but it hasn’t done anything to dampen my good feelings about this service. I say this because although our review ended on 1st September, Michael went and bagged some big winners on the 2nd, which would have made it even more profitable!

    Overall a loss of £8,044.78 in the month using L7N Longshots advised staking plan and it finishes with a very commendable profit of £7,753.37 at the end of our 3 month review period.

    We also tracked the results to £10 level stakes and these finished with a total profit of £5,031.90.

    The service is well run, affordable and most importantly, profitable. A big thumbs up!

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£1,078.60
    Number of bets 64
    Number of wins 11
    Strike Rate 17.18%
    Return On Investment -33.71%

    L7N Longshots Conclusion

    This delivered fantastic profits, no matter whether you followed advised staking, or simply backed to level stakes.

    It’s important to note that on advised staking, all the tips received were to use 5 points per bet. Lots of tipsters use points systems for their betting and you usually get a mix of points.

    For example, you may receive 2 point, 3 point and 5 point tips on the same day from a tipster, with the point indicating the belief the tipster has in a selection winning.

    This hasn’t been the case with L7N Longshots as all tips have been 5 points and looking at the proofing on Betfan from before the review and since the review, all tips are always 5 points.

    This means that 5 points are really 1 point where this service is concerned, so we have to divide the advised staking results by 5 to get a true reflection of performance.

    This means…

    Total Profit over review to advised stakes = £1,550.67

    Total Profit over review to level stakes = £1,006.38

    Still, a nice profit and we’re still giving it a pass.

    Month 1 Summary

    The first month of our ITK Racing review has finished in profit but nothing to really write home about. 7 of our 23 bets delivered profits but we only finished £78.56 up to advised staking. We’ve also been recording results to £10 level stakes and that would have £75 profit, so not much difference at all.

    The strike-rate of 30.34% appears spectacular, unfortunately it is not indicative of the profits. There were lots of little winners as each way bets placed rather than won their races.

    The ITK Racing service is slightly different to many others as tips are delivered by text as it’s imperative that you receive the tips without delay and most people are glued to their phones nowadays.

    Hopefully the profits can increase to match the strike-rate in month 2!

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£75.00
    Number of bets 23
    Number of wins 7
    Strike Rate 30.34%
    Return On Investment 10.14%

    Month 2 Summary

    Another profitable month for the service as it delivered £228.03 profit to advised staking and finished at £306.59 up overall.

    As always, we track results to £10 level stakes and that performed marginally better with £236.90 in the month.

    The strike-rate this month ​came in at 28.57% as 8 of the 28 selections delivered a profitable bet.

    Overall the service is well placed at the moment but it could really do with ramping up the profits in the final month.

    A few of those second and third places turning into firsts would do the trick.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£236.90
    Number of bets 28
    Number of wins 8
    Strike Rate 28.57%
    Return On Investment 26.62%

    Month 3 Summary

    A loss this month as the service lost £112.70 to advised stakes, it’s certainly not a disaster but after 3 months the service hadn’t really delivered any great returns, especially when you consider the monthly subscription cost.

    A strike-rate of 30.43% appears healthy enough on paper but many of the profits delivered were marginal as they came from each-way bets that placed rather than won.

    As we said in month 2 if some of the 2nd and 3rd places could be converted into wins then this could have shed an entirely different light on proceedings but it is what it is and this is going to get firmly filed in the neutral section.

    It’s worth noting that although the stakes are £10 per point, bets were usually between the 2 and 5 point range meaning an outlay of £20 to £50 on each race.

    The ultimate downfall with this service is that the each-way bets only delivered minimal profits upon placing, so the each-way seemed very much to be used as an insurance in the case the horse didn’t win outright, which it invariably failed to do.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£89.60
    Number of bets 23
    Number of wins 7
    Strike Rate 30.43%
    Return On Investment -12.44%
    ITK Racing Conclusion
    We’ve seen better from the guys over at Betfan and although the service delivered a profit of £193.89 to £10 stakes, unless you have a large betting bank behind you, any profits made would have been swallowed up by the subscription fees. It’s worth noting that although the stakes are £10 per point, bets were usually between the 2 and 5 point range meaning an outlay of £20 to £50 on each race. The ultimate downfall with this service is that the each-way bets only delivered minimal profits upon placing, so the each-way seemed very much to be used as an insurance in the case the horse didn’t win outright, which it invariably failed to do.​

    Month 1 Summary

    The first month of our Betting Opportunity review hasn’t got off to a great start with only 4 of the 53 horses bet on coming home to deliver a win. The strike-rate of 7.5% needs to be improved upon to get this back into the black by the end of month 2. Either that or some winners need to be backed at generous prices. The emails have arrived promptly each morning and are clear, concise and easy to follow. It’s also worth noting that all tips are also available in a members area, so you have 2 ways of obtaining the tips.  There have been quite a few second and third placed finishes amongst the selections this month, so I’m hopeful that Betting Opportunity can turn this around as we progress through this betting review.

    Month 2 Summary

    Well, what a turnaround this has been, the winners kept coming and the profits duly followed.  Some great results have meant this month has ended with a profit of just over £1,600 for the period reviewed. The overall profit is £973.11 to Betting Opportunity’s advised staking.  I’ve also been tracking the results to £10 level stakes and the profit for that is £655.80, so Betting Opportunity’s advised staking certainly seems to be working. Really looking forward to the final month of this review and if the strike-rate of 27% from this month is achieved we’ll be looking at a nice profit come the end of the review.

    Month 3 Summary

    Month 2 was spectacularly good but it had nothing on what was to come in month 3 of our Betting Opportunity review.  Howard’s tips had a similar strike-rate this month but some fantastic doubles came in which really gave the profits a boost. A profit of £2,717.55 achieved through the month to Howard’s advised staking, as usual I also tracked the results to £10 level stakes and these delivered a profit of £1357.90 in the period. Overall Betting Opportunity has delivered a profit of £3,691.26 across a 3 month review period which started out on £10 stakes, which increased as the betting bank grew.

    Betting Opportunity Conclusion

    Betting Opportunity comes highly recommended, which is no surprise seeing as it made £3,691.26 profit over a 3 month period and that was starting out with £10 stakes!  The service had a healthy strike-rate considering the average odds of the horses was 12.20 (11/1).  If you end up joining this service, then the 6 monthly subscription makes most sense, as it represents a significant saving on the quarterly option.

    Our Nap Investor review has been running for over a month, and the results speak for themselves. From 12th February to 11th March, there have been 61 selections, of which only seven have won.

    The bank started at £2,000, and so far, at the advised stakes, it is showing a loss of £930.44. Level staking with straight £50 bets on all of the selections has performed even worse, and the bank there shows a loss of £1,106

    The trial is for three months, but in its current form, the bank will likely be exhausted before this unless there is a massive improvement in strike rates.

    Finally, I have indicated where selected horses achieved a place, and some may wish to back the selections each way. In the period, 34 selections have been placed.

    Bal carried forward = -£930.44

    I have now been trialling this service for two months, and as with last month, the results speak for themselves. During this period, there have been 151 selections, with just 18 winners in this Nap Investor review!

    The starting bank of £2,000 has now been reduced by £1,108.57 to leave a balance of £891.43. Level staking with £50 bets has fared a little better, with an overall loss of £1,179.50 to leave a balance of £820.50.

    I am somewhat surprised that there is still money left in the bank at this stage, and the service performance over the Cheltenham and Aintree meetings was abysmal.

    As with last month’s results, I have indicated where selections have been placed for the information of those who may consider betting each way. To have any chance of turning a profit in the last month of the trial, the service will need a massive upswing in strike rate and on current form, this seems to be very unlikely.

    Our Nap Investor review has now ended, and as with previous months,’ the results speak for themselves.

    From a starting bank of £2,000 and placing bets according to the author’s advised staking plan, the initial bank fell to £355.92, a colossal loss of £1644.08.

    Betting to level stakes at £50 per bet has fared even worse with a loss of £910.50, which, when added to the starting bank, makes an overall loss when using this method of staking as £2910.50.

    I have, as with the previous months, indicated where selections have been placed for the information of bettors who like to bet each way.
