    Month 1 Summary

    A rather slow start with only 2 outright winners and two small each way profitable bets from 17 bets in the first 7 days for our Rons Williams Racing review. Had it not been for a 12/1 winner this service would have been in a serious catch up situation.

    The ship was steadied and went into profit. A bad run mid-month put the tipster in the red but once again with another 11/1 winner went from -12.84pts ending the first month in profit of 2.86pts.

    I have confidence in this tipster and believe he can maintain a good level profit.

    Selections were always available the evening before racing and prices recommended readily obtainable with the major bookmakers.

    Number of bets 72

    Month 2 Summary

    Another steady month of some good results for our Ron Williams Racing review with a profit of 35.55 points. What is encouraging is that there are no long losing runs (in fact 6 twice).

    These losses didn’t have an effect on the P/L as winners were quite regular including a 20/1 and 7/1 winners. It would be surprising if this service did not add to its profits in the final month and look forward to another profitable month

    Month 3 Summary

    Our third and final month of the Ron Williams review has gone well, with a monthly profit of £129.08 to £10 level stakes per selections. 

    An encouraging 31.11% winning strike rate is nice to see too, which has been consistent throughout our review. 

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£129.08
    Number of bets 45
    Number of wins 14
    Strike Rate 31.11%

    Ron Williams Racing Conclusion

    We close this Ron Williams review with an encouraging result. Although the first month did not show a huge profit, the second month showed what this tipster was all about. With a massive £400.50 profit.

    Unfortunately this was not repeated in the final month, but nonetheless ending the third cycle with a profit of £129.08. What is encouraging is that somehow when there is a losing run the service seems to bounce back with a high priced winner, thus keeping punters always interested and usually in pocket.

    I have no hesitation in strongly recommending this service to add to one’s portfolio and award it 4.5/5 stars. Straightforward and above all profitable, and of course backed up by Clickbank’s sixty day money back guarantee.

    Month 1 Summary

    Bet Alchemist only sends selections at weekends and generally on the major race(s) of the main meeting. There are tips from 1 to 6 (rare.) Each day selections are sent and are usually 1/ 2 pt each way or 1 pt win. So far these are the only stakes and type of bets sent.

    Our Bet Alchemist review has proved to be steady and reliable and the S/R, P&L, and ROI are really very impressive.

    Looking forward to the next 30 days and hope the profits will continue.

    Strike Rate 35.48%

    Month 2 Summary

    A rather disappointing second month of results after such a good start in month one. As this is a service that only has selections on major races at the weekend I find it difficult to see how it can recover.

    The best results were two consecutive winning bets (twice) which does not really give any comfidence. However the first month proved that it was possible to obtain a decent profit so let’s hope there can be a turnaround.

    Selections were available the previous evening before racing and prices recommended readily obtainable with the major bookmakers.

    Strike Rate 24.14%
    Return On Investment -48.71%

    Month 3 Summary

    Our third and final month managed to return back to profit as was seen in our first month, with a profit of £32.60 to £10 level stakes. The service certainly has merit, and has been around a long time. Many professionals claim to use the service as part of their portfolio.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£32.60
    Number of bets 21
    Number of wins 4
    Strike Rate 19.05%
    Return On Investment 15.52%

    Bet Alchemist Conclusion

    This has been a fairly steady service results wise. Due to the method of sending out tips (mainly weekends) there was never going to be many bets in the 90 days period.

    A Strike Rate of 34.92% for a backing service is acceptable. However an ROI of 17.24% reflected by 14.31 points profit does not really stand up when 3 months subscription fees have to be considered.

    The heavy loss in the second month was always going to make this service struggle and for that reason I will award it 3/5 as to be fair there was not really enough bets in the review period to realize the full capabilities of this service.

    Should the author decide to send selections on a more regular basis then it would be worth having another review. Possibly one to watch long term, and one we will be keeping an eye on.

    deepthoughtreviewQuick Summary

    Deep Thought is another relative new service from the Betfan Group, which we will be reviewing for the usual 90 days.

    The author of Deep Thought is a professional computer programmer and never had any interest in gambling or horse racing but decided to use his skills in this field in 2015.

    What Can You Expect From Deep Thought?

    There will be plenty of bets per day and all bets will be 1 point win singles. By betting low it will give you more control over your account without huge drawdowns. Tips are sent out at around 7pm on the evening before the day of the races so most members can get on early at the best prices.

    Month 1 Summary

    Our Deep Thought review started shakily with the first seven bets losing. However three good winners on Day two and another 7/1 on Day three put the service into a healthy position and after Day six was 22.5 pts in profit. Signs were this was going places.

    Alas there was to be a downturn as the next 23 bets all lost which wiped out the profits made.

    Unfortunately the situation hasn’t improved as at the end of Month one the profit is only 4.54 pts.

    Deep Thought has to get into the winning habit again in Month two.

    Selections were available by the previous evening before racing and prices recommended readily obtainable with the major bookmakers.

    Number of bets 119
    Number of wins 18
    Strike Rate 15.13%
    Return On Investment 3.82%

    Month 2 Summary

    This has been a month to forget for this service, as it plunged from a 4.5 points profit to a 42 points loss with a mere 14 winners from 112 bets and a ROI of -37.50%.

    It was unable to get a string of winners and there were losing runs of 10 – 14 which no punter can sustain such losses. Nothing short of a miracle can revive this service, so let us see how the final month will perform.

    Selections were available the previous evening before racing and prices recommended readily obtainable with the major bookmakers.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£420
    Number of bets 112
    Number of wins 14
    Strike Rate 12.5%
    Return On Investment -37.5%

    Month 3 Summary

    A much improved final month for our Deep Thought review from Betfan, which helped reduce the deficit, but nonetheless this service finished showing a loss due to the losses incurred in month two.

    A losing run of thirteen consecutive losses did not help nor a best of two consecutive wins (once only).

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +205.41
    Number of bets 112
    Number of wins 19
    Strike Rate 16.96%
    Return On Investment 18.34%

    Deep Thought Conclusion

    This service was very inconsistent with two profitable months of the three reviewed.  Somehow it was unable to get into a rhythm of winning results.

    Consecutive winners were few and far between and in fact the best winning run was three (once) and two (twice) whilst losing runs were common with thirteen being the longest. No service can sustain this.

    I am unable to recommend this service and award it 3/5.

    StatMan Review

    Welcome to our StatMan review, where you will see us put this horse racing tipster service from Betfan under the microscope for 90 days.  The tips are delivered to our inbox each morning via email and are also available from the membership area within Betfan.  The StatMan review will see results recorded at advised stakes and also at £10 level stakes.

    As the service has three separate areas, as detailed below we have just concentrated on the main ‘Nap Stat of the Day’ for our statistics tables. However Dave will be updating us with how each of the three areas are performing so we get a clear picture. So in one respect this service is like getting three tipping services for the price of one.

    statmanreviewQuick Summary

     

    We are commencing a three month StatMan review. This is a horse racing service which aims to provide three bets a day as follows:-

    a. The main nap stat of the day – normally a short priced runner
    b. Each Way nap stat of the day – a runner with a strong chance
    c. Longshot – A FUN bet to minimum stakes.

    Each bet is complete with an explanation as to why it has been chosen so that you can see some of the reasoning behind it.

    I will record the results on the spreadsheet in the following way for the StatMan review:

    First results sheet – Main Nap
    Second results sheet – E/W Nap
    Third results sheet – FUN bet.

    These bets will be recorded to both level and advised stakes and I will report back in a months time with an update as to how the service is progressing.

    Month 1 Summary

    We have now reached the end of the first month of our Statman review and it is pleasing to report that the bank has increased in two of the three categories and that there is only a very minor loss in the other one.

    Statman’s bets come in three categories on a daily basis although sometimes there is no bet for that day in one or more of the categories.

    The categories are :-

    (a) Stat Of The Day which is normally a fairly short priced selection that is expected to win. I have placed straight £10-00 win bets on these selections.

    (b) Each Way Stat Of The Day – a longer priced selection that it is hoped has a very good chance of winning or obtaining a place. I have placed £5-00 each way bets on each of these selections.

    (c) Longshot Stat Of The Day – This is generally a bit of an outsider who is expected to perform above expectations and is generally available at a larger price. These are described as “Fun Bets” by the vendor. I have placed £5-00 each way bets on each of these selections.

    The bets for the following day are usually sent out by e mail the night before which gives plenty of time to place them and get the prices that are advised. As usual it is best to use bookmakers offering Best Odds guaranteed as it can make quite a large difference to returns in the case of a win or place.

    I will now summarise below the month’s results for each of the systems.

    Stat Of The Day
    Profit/Loss to £10-00 win stakes: £78.10
    Number of Bets: 24
    Number of Wins: 10
    Strike Rate: 41.67%
    Bank Growth: 7.81%
    Return On Investment: 32.54%
    A good steady start to the first month for these selections.

    Each Way Stat Of The Day
    Profit/Loss to £5-00 each way stakes: -£2.25
    Number of Bets: 27
    Number of Wins: 8
    Strike Rate: 29.63%
    Bank Growth: -0.225%
    Return on Investment: -0.83%
    Not disastrous and can surely be turned around in month two.

    Longshot Stat Of The Day
    Profit/Loss to £5-00 each way stakes: £126-00
    Number of Bets: 28
    Number of Wins: 10
    Strike Rate: 35.71%
    Bank Growth: 12.60%
    Return on Investment: 45.00%
    Somewhat surprisingly, the long shots have out performed the other two systems. Strike rate is not dissimilar but of course odds are generally somewhat higher making wins higher. Hopefully, this run can continue into the next month and beyond.

    The first month then has seen the service perform well and it is to be hoped that this trend will continue for the rest of the trial.

    I will update the results of the trial in a further months time on 29th December. The trial will run from 29th October 2018 until 28th January 2019.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£78.10
    Number of bets 24
    Number of wins 10
    Strike Rate 41.67%
    Return On Investment 32.54%

    Month 2 Summary

    We have now reached the end of the second month of our trial of the
    Statman service. Yet again, two of the three categories have seen an
    increase in the bank but the loss in the other has been quite large.

    Bets are still being received via e mail in good time to place them at the
    advised prices. As with last month, i have summarised the results for each of the categories below:

    Stat Of The Day
    Profit/Loss to £10.00 win stakes: £123-23
    Number of Bets: 21
    Number of Wins: 9
    Strike Rate: 42.86%
    Bank Growth: 11.44%
    Return On Investment: 58.73%
    This service continues to perform steadily and the bank is slowly increasing.

    Each Way Stat Of The Day
    Profit/Loss to £5-00 Each Way Stakes: £114.50
    Number Of Bets: 21
    Number of Wins: 8
    Strike Rate: 38.1%
    Bank Growth: 11.47%
    Return On Investment: 54.52%
    This is a nice turnaround from the previous month to put this system back in the black.

    Longshot Stat Of The Day
    Profit/Loss to £5-00 each way stakes: -(225.00)
    Number of Bets: 25
    Number of Wins: 1
    Strike Rate: 4%
    Bank Growth: -(19.98%)
    Return on Investment: -(22.2%)
    In the first month, this service did extremely well whilst in this latest month it has performed very poorly resulting in a fairly large decrease in the bank.
    These bets are put forward as speculative and hopefully, the trend will be reversed in the final month of the trial to put us back in the black.

    The trial ends on 28th January 2019 and I will report back then with a final update on all three systems.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£123.23
    Number of bets 21
    Number of wins 9
    Strike Rate 42.86%
    Return On Investment 58.73%

    Month 3 Summary

    Our three month review of the Statman service has now come to an end and it is time to give a final overview of the service. The three elements of the service have all performed differently in this last month and I have summarised the results for each of these below.

    I have then done the same thing again to show how the service has performed over the entire period of the trial.

    Stat Of The Day (final month)
    Profit/Loss to £10.00 win stakes £95-60
    Number Of Bets 21
    Number of Wins 10
    Strike Rate 47.62%
    Bank Growth 7.85%
    Return On Investment 45.52%

    It will be seen that there has been a small but steady increase in the bank yet again this month.

    Each Way Stat Of The Day (final month)
    Profit/Loss to £5.00 each way stakes -(£58-00)
    Number Of Bets 17
    Number Of Wins 5
    Strike Rate 29.41%
    Bank Growth -(5.26%)
    Return On Investment -(34.00%)

    A loss overall for this part of the service for this final month.

    Longshot Stat Of The Day (final month)
    Profit/Loss to £5.00 each way stakes £66.00
    Number Of Bets 15
    Number Of Wins 4
    Strike Rate 26.67%
    Bank Growth 7.24%
    Return On Investment 44.00%

    And a decent profit for this part of the service.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£95.60
    Number of bets 21
    Number of wins 10
    Strike Rate 47.62%
    Return On Investment 45.52%

    StatMan Conclusion

    I have now summarised below the results for all three services over the entire period of the trial.

    Stat Of The Day (Full Trial)
    Profit/Loss to £10-00 win stakes £313.23
    Number Of Bets 66
    Number Of Wins 30
    Strike Rate 45.45%
    Bank Growth (from 0riginal £1000-00) 31.32%
    Return On Investment 47.45%

    It can be seen from the above that the bank has increased steadily over the three month period of the trial.

    Each Way Stat Of The Day (Full Trial)
    Profit/Loss to £5-00 each way stakes £44-25
    Number Of Bets 65
    Number Of Wins 21
    Strike Rate 32.31%
    Bank Growth (from original £1000-00) 4.42%
    Return On Investment 6.81%

    So once again a profit for the three month trial of our Statman review.

    Longshot Stat Of The Day (Full Trial)
    Profit/Loss to £5-00 each way stakes -(£22-00)
    Number Of Bets 68
    Number Of Wins 15
    Strike Rate 22.05%
    Bank Growth (From original (£1000-00) -(2.2%)
    Return On Investment -(3.24%)

    Small loss for the trial, but nothing too drastic, and easily offset by the other two parts of the service.

    From the above it can be seen that this is a steady service which in general terms does show a profit. The losses incurred are very small and certainly manageable considering that in the main, they arise from somewhat speculative bets, and the user could choose not to wager on these at all.

    Throughout the trial i found that the e mails containing the selections were sent out in good time to place the suggested bets and that generally, prices quoted were still available.

    The service overall has shown a profit over the trial period and I therefore feel that it merits four stars and a pass rating.

    Selections are sent by email each evening, as well as been available on the Betfan website. The Racing Goldmine 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 Racing Genius:

    * Using bookmakers is advised who offer BOG
    * 200 point betting bank advised

    Bank Growth 41.17%
    Return On Investment 10.07%
    Review Period 22nd October 2018 to 21st January 2019
    Cost £57 per 28 days or £114 per 90 days

    Month 1 Summary

    This Racing Goldmine service from Betfan is now at the end of it’s first month, and is something a little different. It is different in the respect that generally two to three horses are given out per race, so the strike rate can never really go above around 30% as naturally not all three horses can win one race. So when looking at the winning strike rate bare this in mind.

    The advantage of having two or three horses running for us though per race makes it far more likely we will see a winner, and generally speaking the odds of the selections are in the mid to high price range meaning when we do see a winner it certainly pays.

    Each selection is advised to a straight one point win, so it is easy to place bets quickly and smoothly. The bookie with the best odds is advised, and we found that the price held long enough for members to secure that price. 

    Betfan do provide a text messaging service which alerts you to when selections have been posted up on the site and/or an email has been sent out. So you can be assured of getting the best price if you act quickly.

    For the month we seen a small profit of £12.00 to £10 level stakes, but we’re confident this will increase over the next two months. Join us next month, and see how our Racing Goldmine review fairs. James.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£12.00
    Number of bets 292
    Number of wins 31
    Strike Rate 10.6%
    Return On Investment 0.41%

    Month 2 Summary

    Two months now under our belt for the Racing Goldmine review from Betfan and things are going very well indeed. Typically three horses are being backed per race, so you have three times as many chances to win theoretically. The strike rate once again is based on number of bets rather than number of races so the highest the winning strike rate can be is 33%.

    Some decent priced winners have been seen, and this shows clearly in the results. Our betting bank never dips much even when we experience several races with no winners.

    Selections are still available each evening, and a text service can be signed up for to let you know as soon as selections have been posted up, to ensure you secure the best possible prices for each selection.

    So far I’d be happy to put my own money down on these selections, as Richard clearly knows how to pick the winners. Let’s see how it fairs in the final month. James.

    Month 3 Summary

    Three months testing has now been completed for our Racing Goldmine review, and although we did see a slight loss for the month the betting bank didn’t dip too much.

    We hit a high of just over £1000 for the service at one point which is a brilliant return using £10 stakes on a £2000 suggested betting bank.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes -£63.70
    Number of bets 275
    Number of wins 31
    Strike Rate 11.3%
    Return On Investment -2.32%

    Racing Goldmine Conclusion

    The service is different to other horse racing tipping services, in that two to three selections are generally given out per race. This doesn’t seem to affect profits though, and actually helps to reduce losing runs.

    The odds of the selections are generous too which bodes well. No odds on horses here. Overall I would like to give the service a star rating of four and a half out of five. It would have been five if not for the number of selections, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Recommended.

    Welcome to our Bank Builder review, where you will see us put this football tipster service from Football Advisor under the microscope for 90 days.  The tips are delivered to our inbox each morning via email and are also available from their membership area.  The Bank Builder review will see results commented on from our reviewer Alan.

    bankbuilderreviewQuick Summary

    Welcome to the latest betting opportunity to be reviewed for Bets For Today.  In this Bank Builder review over the next 3 months we will see whether the service lives up to its publicity. It’s one of the most profitable looking services offered by the Football Advisor team whose products include Football and Racing selections and strategies and who entered the professional tipster market in 2014. The service has a simple aim: to double your betting bank. It is achieved with the help of “smart staking strategies” which both protect the betting bank and help maximise profits. So confident is Football Advisor about the potential success of this service that they guarantee to “double your betting bank or you get your money back”. Selections are on the win/draw/lose and goals markets, 5-10 per week with no more than 3 on any particular day. They are posted on the website and sent by e-mail by 8 a.m every day. Since the service was introduced in October 2017 an overall profit of 461 points is claimed with a very impressive 88.9% strike rate! A 100 point starting bank is recommended. The service is delivered in a series of up to 4 “cycles”. At time of writing they are in Cycle 2 and so we will be joining in midstream. The staking strategy is clearly a vital aspect so it’s likely that our usual practice of evaluating at both level and advised stakes may not be appropriate. However, once we see the service in action it will be clearer how the product is rolled out and our aim will be to produce monthly reports in the usual way with an overall review after 3 months. The price for entry to the next available ‘cycle’ is £39.95.

    Month 1 Summary

    Our Bets for Today Football Advisor’s “Bank Builder” review has been running for a month and, as usual, we are producing an interim report on the service so far.

    Key points:

    Very reliable notification service. Tips (including blanks) emailed by 8 a.m each morning with back up via website. Precise information given on stakes and selections.

    * Realistic advised odds

    * Very liquid markets (1 2 X major European Leagues) (* few if any tips during international break periods)

    * Usually around 10 tips per week, almost all on Fridays to Mondays

    * Requires higher strike rate than so far achieved

     

    Summary

    Bank Builder seeks to double your starting bank in progressive cycles. You buy into a cycle for £39.95 and the cycle continues until the objective is met. It has two separate “modes” – each costs £39.95 – one concentrates on outright wins, the other on double chance selections. A further category (“Over 1.5 goals/Under 4.5 goals”) has been added free as both the main cycles are struggling for an acceptable strike rate. Our review has concentrated on the standard 1,2,X cycle but we have access to the double chance cycle and complementary over/under cycle and have watched progress on both.

     

    Method

    Recommended starting bank is 100 points with a reserve of 50 points which may be injected to boost profits (this has been done on the Double Chance service). Football Advisor has devised and refined a staking strategy that, in short, seeks to play up winnings and minimise the effects of any losing runs. We have been asked not to divulge precise details of the strategy, nor the odds of selections. Our spreadsheet of results does show the matches selected so far (12X only) but historic data is given in the Football Advisor website. I would say that while the staking strategy may seem complicated at first glance, it is actually quite straightforward – plenty of assistance is given if you need it including advised stakes. The success or failure of the service depends on lengthy winning runs and so we are essentially dealing with “banker” selections. Historically the service is said to have achieved a strike rate above 88%.

    * excludes injection of further 50 points from reserve bank

     

    Conclusion

    A series of unexpected slip ups by major clubs has led to disappointing figures for the two flagship services. However, the impeccable performance on over/under which, in little more than a fortnight, is already half way to its objective, shows the possibilities. Hopefully the next two months will see all services on track.

    Month 2 Summary

    Our Bets for Today Football Advisor’s Bank Builder review has been running for two months now and, as usual, we are producing a further interim report. As before, because of our undertaking not to reveal details of staking and odds, we can only provide general comments and a few basic statistics.

    Unfortunately it’s been a very poor month for the 1/2/X version, only 10 selections, and these included 4 losers, well down on the strike rate required to make the service successful. The current cycle began on 26 August (we have only been monitoring since early October) with a notional bank of £1000 and that bank has now fallen to just over £50.

    In fact the current cycle is now so far behind target that a new cycle has been introduced which will run concurrently with the old one and is free to join for existing users. That is in addition to the free “Over/Under” Tips cycle which has been maintaining a high strike rate but not enough, so far, to show profits.

    Meanwhile, in complete contrast to the 1/2/X version the “Double Chance” service (which you pay for separately) has done excellently: achieving a 92% strike rate in Month 2 which produced a profit of £1,114 (to advised stakes) in Month 2 and successfully meeting its target of doubling members’ banks.

    Conclusion

    Results-wise cycle 2 of the 1/2/X service has been extremely disappointing. And the selections have temporarily dried up. Hopefully the gurus at Football Advisor will recover their confidence in the service and things will pick up in Month 3. At present, when looked at a single offering, the service is not value for money.

    Month 3 Summary

    The review of Football Advisor’s “Bank Builder” service has reached its conclusion. Month three was a decided improvement with 17 winners from 19 selections (easily the best month in strike rate terms) and a small improvement in the overall position was recorded.

    However, the service still showed a loss of more than 66 points over the 3 months as a whole.

    Profit/Loss during the month +£3.14
    Number of bets 19
    Number of wins 17
    Strike Rate 89.5%
    Return On Investment n/a

    Bank Builder Conclusion

    This service aims to double your betting bank with win selections, but that demands a high strike rate with lengthy winning runs. The staking strategy becomes defensive when too many losers are selected so great patience (and faith) is required in that event.

    There are signs of improvement and with many of the main European leagues re-emerging from “winter hibernation” there should be no shortage of selections in the weeks ahead. The delivery of the tips has been absolutely reliable, market liquidity is good, advised odds etc are realistic and you are given precise instructions on staking.

    There is access too, to a “bot” to simplify the daily processing (but I did not investigate/use it).

    However, while the system’s potential is clear (and in fact the equivalent service based on double chance selections has recently successfully doubled its bank within a few weeks), it is difficult to be enthusiastic based on this particular run of selections and results.

    Overall we’d have to give this service just two stars, so falls into the failed category.

    lucky7napsreviewQuick Summary

    Welcome to our Lucky7Naps review, a horse racing tipster service from Betfan. We will be recording every result that they have over the next 90 days, and see whether Michael can make us a good return. The service looks to have started in February 2014, so certainly has a good solid past history on it’s side.

    Selections are sent by email by 10am each morning, as well as been available on the Betfan website. The Lucky7Naps 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 Racing Genius:

    * Bets are advised to win only
    * Using bookmakers is advised who offer BOG
    * 300 point betting bank advised, but from results so far I’d say 200 points

    Follow us on our Lucky7Naps review, and see whether Michael can live up to expectations.

    Cost £28.50 per week, £66 per month or £133.50 per quarter

    Month 1 Summary

    Month one of our Lucky7Naps review is over, and it’s been a pretty much break-even month to be honest. Past results on the Betfan website indicate that this can happen, as with all services, so to be expected at times.

    Lucky7Naps is rated as one of the best performing services within Betfan’s arsenal of tipsters, and has been going since 2014, so it appears this is a service we should be able to rely on long term.

    Over the course of our first month we seen a small loss of £20.52 to £10 level stakes bets. All selections are advised to win only, and it is advisable to use BOG bookmakers wherever possible to capitalise on the early enhanced odds of selections. It may be possible to use Betfair prices as soon as the selections are sent out, but we haven’t tested this out yet.

    Selections are available in good time on the day of racing, and advised odds were always available for a decent amount of time from when the selection is given out. Betfan do offer to text you when a selection is put up for a small monthly fee, which would be a good idea should you decide to get involved with this service. This goes for all of Betfan’s services.

    Overall I’m confident this service will come on in leaps and bounds over the next two months, if past results are anything to go by and Lucky7Naps long past history with Betfan suggests. Join me next month to see how our Lucky7Naps review is shaping up. James.

    Month 2 Summary

    This month has seen a much improved performance for our Lucky7Naps review, and I see why Betfan recommend this service so much. £283.30 to £10 level stakes or £1416.50 to their advised five points per bet is certainly more like it.

    It has to be said that you are best getting on the selections as soon as you can once they are released. The best way around this is to pay a little extra for the text alert service that Betfan offer.

    I do like this service, as you only get one or two selections generally, so not too intense but it still produces the goods. I’m looking forward to see how our final month goes.

    Month 3 Summary

    Things have gone from strength to strength with this service from Betfan. Some really good winners at double digit odds has boosted the betting bank brilliantly.

    To advised odds a profit of £1969.50 has been this month, as selections are advised to £50 to win. This really is one of the best services Betfan has, and with a record of five years worth of results this is a brilliant addition to any portfolio.

    theformulareviewQuick Summary

    A relative new service known as The Formula comes under our scrutiny as we review it for the next 90 days.

    Using a very powerful “Secret Formula” the profits have been nothing but awesome! Some of the most impressive WIN & Each Way advice ever seen., as claimed by the owners of The Formula Nathan Lane and Dylan Pritchard.

    Between March and September 25th 2018 Nathan and Dylan proofed and generated a massive +1,437 points profit. That’s a FANTASTIC £14,370 betting at £10 a point or £143,700 betting at £100 a point!!!

    Their skills and methods have been sculpted after a very long learning experience which can be seen in the results. They show to be very profitable indeed.

    No Crazy Staking Or Chasing Losses…
    The Formula advises Win, Each Way and double bets and the staking strategy maintains modest points per bet.

    Month 1 Summary

    What a way to start proofing a service. Although the first day of our The Formula review was a losing one, the second day (hopefully) showed what was to come with 100% winning bets of 16/1 and 15/2 (BOG) and a 77.29 double.

    Results went a little sideways for the rest of October which ended with a healthy profit but a slight drop in profits after the high of the double.

    November has not started well with only one win and 17 losers.
    Lets hope this is temporary.

    Selections were available by mid-morning and prices recommended readily obtainable with the major bookmakers.

    Month 2 Summary

    A bit of a let down after a great first month for our The Formula review, mainly reflected by the fact that only two doubles won, which was needed to boost profits, as the stats show that for the same amount of bets the S/R was similar to that of the first month but P/L was drastically reduced.

    Looking forward to more success in the final 30 days as the NH season is now in full swing.

    As usual selections were available by mid-morning although there were a few days when the emails did not arrive. Nonetheless the selections were always available in the Member’s Area.

    Prices recommended were correct with the major bookmakers on arrival of the selections.

    Month 1 Summary

    Our first month for Cleeve Racing has started ever so slightly in profit to £10 level stakes, £5 each way or £10 to win.

    To advised stakes though a loss of £180 has been seen unfortunately, but it is very clear that the team at Cleeve Racing that we are advised to take the rough with the smooth, and will always end up in profit over time.

    For each race a very detailed explanation is given, and the reasoning for selecting it. The email alerting you to check the website is sent the day before in most cases, so you have plenty of time to get selections on. Which is a very useful feature for people who work office hours.

    Overall even though we haven’t got off to a flying start yet I am confident that our Cleeve Racing review will kick into gear once we get more into the new jumps season. Crossing over from flat to jumps can be a tricky time of year, so I’m sure we’ll soon be in profit again as seems to be the case going on past results.

    Month 2 Summary

    Month two is now at an end for our Cleeve Racing review and by their own admission the last few weeks have not been too favourable for them. They do point to the long term view, and if you look to their past results over the last few years you’ll be able to see they do have an excellent record.

    There has not been much action, with just six days out of the last thirty one where selections were given out. Whether being this selective is the way to go we will soon see in our final month’s review. Their write-ups of each race is very detailed, and you can clearly see they know what they are talking about.

    Month 3 Summary

    In our third and final month for Cleeve Racing we seen several decent priced winner at odds of 7/1, 9/1 and 7/2 which meant a profit for the month.

    I feel that the service has merit, but needs a long term view to be monitored more thoroughly. There are never selections for the sake of it, and a thorough write up is always given for each selection which is good to see.

    Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes +£44.35
    Number of bets 28
    Number of wins 8

    Cleeve Racing Conclusion

    Even though our review didn’t go as well as we had hoped I’m still confident Cleeve Racing is a good service, but you certainly need to look at it as a long term money making venture. The rewards are there if you’re patient, but just not within our three month trial.

    Overall, based on our review I have to give the service a neutral rating with a three out of five score. I will check back on the service in due course, and if things improve I’ll let you know by way of the BetsForToday daily newsletter.

    footballvaluetipsreviewQuick Summary

     Welcome to our Football Value Tips review, our latest betting opportunity to be reviewed for Bets For Today.

    We are putting “Football Value Tips” to the test for the next 3 months to see whether the service lives up to its publicity. It’s offered by Phil Rushton, who has 17 years experience of online betting, together with his team of tipsters.

    As the title suggests the service seeks to identify value bets concentrating mainly on the EPL and other major European Leagues. A strike rate of better than 46% is claimed, along with consistent monthly profits and no excessive losing runs.

    An unusual feature for those of us who prefer simplicity and not to have to spend too much time at our screens is that all tips for the week ahead are sent by a single email, the whole process is said to take 5-10 minutes a week to complete. 

    The Football Value Tips review will begin on 15th September 2018 and, as usual, interim reports will be produced at the end of months 1 and 2 with the final summary and review after month 3.

    Month 1 Summary

    Our Bets for Today Football Value Tips review from Phil Rushton has been running for a month and, as usual, we are producing an interim report on the service so far.

    Key points

    * Very easy to operate, just a few minutes a week via an email on Friday mornings

    * Realistic advised odds

    Very liquid markets and mainstream categories (1 2 X, Double Chance, BTTS, Any Time GoalScorer)

    * 6 tips per week (mainly EPL), 3 during the International Break

    * High strike rate but, so far, low profitability

    Summary

    13 winners have resulted from the 27 tips in Month 1, an impressive strike rate especially as week 2 only scored one success from the 6 selections. However this has not yet been reflected in consistent profitability: 2.36 points ahead at level stakes and 2.175 at advised stakes.

    Interim Conclusion

    A simple service with a very decent strike rate. With the international break out of the way I’m hoping for an impressive second month of tipping to get the ROI up.

    Month 2 Summary

    The review of Phil Rushton’s value tips service has now completed its second month. Unfortunately the promising start of month one has not been maintained and a loss is now showing across the board.

    Month 2: Tips given between 20 October and 10 November.

    Once again the tips consisted of six per weekend, majoring on the EPL. Delivery continued to be via a simple email on Friday mornings.

    After achieving a 48% strike rate in Month one, the rate plummeted in Month two. Just six wins from the twenty four selections (strike rate 25%). Despite one of the winners being a Correct Score (0-0, Southampton vs Newcastle) at odds of 8.0, this resulted in a loss at level stakes and a very large one, of over 35 points, at advised stakes.

    The first week of the second month’s review resulted in six straight losers. Things were better in weeks two and three but any hope of a recovery was dashed by achieving only a single winner in the fourth week.

    A big task ahead to get back on track.

    Month 3 Summary

    The Phil Rushton’s Football Value Tips review  has reached its conclusion. Unfortunately the downturn experienced in Month two was continued in Month three with only six winners from twenty one selections (28.6% strike rate).

    It’s a shame, as the service is nice and straightforward with emails arriving like clockwork well in advance.

    Number of wins 6
    Strike Rate 28.6%
    Return On Investment -35.5%

    Football Value Tips Conclusion

    Month three was another disappointing period for the Football Value Tips service. The 28.6% strike rate was well down on what is required to make a profit at level stakes, and dragged down the overall strike rate for the review to 34.7%. Average odds are around 2.5 so a rate around 40% is required simply to break even.

    Over the three months our notional bank fell by 11.7% to level stakes of £10 while at advised odds (which are usually 5 points for straight bets and 1.5 to 2.5 for more speculative ones) the performance was relatively worse: a negative return on investment of some 18.9% and a decline in the bank’s value of 54%.

    I’ve commented favourably already on the “nuts and bolts”: it’s a very simple and reliable service especially as regards the odds that are generally easy to find and quite often to better.

    But winners are the name of the game and those have have been few and far between in recent weeks. I am sure the tipster’s luck will turn at some point as his overall published record is impressive. But at present I feel the service is “best watched”.
