TTS Sketch Maker Review DMA LTD UK

April 11, 2015 General Reviews, Marketing No comments

Created by DMA LTD UK, TTS Sketch Maker is a piece of software that allows you to easily make whiteboard based videos that are also commentated by built in vocals.

What is the product?

There are an increasing number of marketing videos that contain “whiteboard sketch” style content. These involve a hand that draws images and writes words that illustrate what is being said over them offering a visually stimulating alternative to text. TTS Sketch Maker allows you to quickly and easily make these videos yourself based around preloaded content (although you can also expand the library with your own). DMA LTD UK have included 12 different fonts that you can use as well as 150 animated images. As well as the visual side of things DMA LTD UK  have built in 25 text to speech voices covering all kinds of languages from English to Spanish and even Polish and Czech for TTS Sketch Maker  to use. DMA LTD UK  say that these videos are human sounding however I don’t believe this to be the case at all. Whilst they are a huge step up over Microsoft Sam and the like, they are definitely not human sounding either. Videos can be encoded for 4 different formats with all examples coming out HD ready. The interface for TTS Sketch Maker is easy to use with a drag and drop interface and clearly labelled text boxes etc. but if for any reason you are unsure, DMA LTD UK have also created a full training guide. On top of this TTS Sketch Maker get a full year of support and a number of bonus products which are mostly based around video marketing. Read more

Thousand Dollar Days Review David Sampson

April 10, 2015 General Reviews, Trading No comments

Created by David Sampson, Thousand Dollar Days is a binary options trading product that claims to use experienced traders to guarantee profit.

What is the product?

Unlike your typical binary options trading product, Thousand Dollar Days is not a piece of software. Instead, creator David Sampson says that he personally works with his team of 25 traders (including 4 other founding traders who have been together since 2008) to trade daily with a view to making a considerable income. With Thousand Dollar Days you too can benefit from the trading that the Thousand Dollar Days team carry out by having your trading account linked to their master account. This means that any trades that David Sampson and the Thousand Dollar Days team make will also be carried out on your account as well. Trades appear to be a $25 value based off a “live” results page that is shown (which also show a claimed win rate of 97% based off their “results”).  As is typical for this kind of product you are highly restricted as to which binary options broker that you can use. In the case of Thousand Dollar Days it is Big Option however AA Option have also been the recommended broker in the near past. Read more

Freddie the Flat Review Fred Barnes and marketed by Jon Owen

April 10, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by Fred Barnes and marketed by Jon Owen, Freddie the Flat is a horse racing tipster service that offers selections for the flat racing season.

What is the product?

There are two very distinct things to examine when looking at Freddie the Flat to me. The first of these is what is claimed about the service which frankly, isn’t much outside of the claim that Fred Barnes has a 100/1 selection waiting for you. There is also the link between Jon Owens and Freddie the Flat. As far as Freddie the Flat goes as a service, there isn’t much to say. Selections are offered covering a number of odds with bets being made up of win bets, each way bets and various levels of accumulator. Stakes range from one point all the way up to ten points per bet depending on how certain Fred Barnes it will come in. Fred Barnes himself is claimed to be a “full time punter” and has been betting full time since 2008. The question about Jon Owens’ involvement I shall look at below but I shall say that Freddie the Flat shares a lot of similarities with his own service, Jon Owen Racing. Read more

The Market Matrix Review Steve Copan

April 10, 2015 Trading No comments

Created by Steve Copan, The Market Matrix is a trading product that teaches you how to predict marketing movements by using Matrix Cycles.

What is the product?

The Market Matrix comes as a 138 page guide which over the course of 8 chapters, Steve Copan shows you his method of trading and what it entails. The Market Matrix is also fully illustrated providing charts and the like where required. The core of The Market Matrix is obviously dedicated to what is involved and it covers this in considerable detail. There are also chapters that are dedicated to similar theories that The Market Matrix seems to draw on (for example Elliott Waves and Fibonacci sequences which both explore patterns and cycles relating to inversion points in trading). The Market Matrix is clearly influenced from a number of different sources but one of the main ones is Delta in so much as the both say that Lunar cycles make up a big part of successful trading as well as looking at calendar weeks instead of just working weeks. Through application of what The Market Matrix teaches you, Steve Copan says that you should be able to identify when market inversions will occur and as such, you can make the relevant trades. The Market Matrix is claimed to be able to work on any timeframe as well as any currency pair (and presumably commodity). Read more

The Delta Phenomenon Review Jim Sloman

April 9, 2015 General Reviews, Trading No comments

Created by Jim Sloman and sold by Welles Wilder, The Delta Phenomenon is a trading strategy that can allegedly predict movements in the market for many years in advance.

What is the product?

The Delta Phenomenon is not anything new and has been sold in the US since the 80’s in a number of different guises. The patterns were allegedly identified by one Jim Sloman who then sold them on to Welles Wilder, a purveyor of trading strategies at the time. Agora Lifestyles are now offering The Delta Phenomenon in the UK (allegedly having “managed” to get hold of 250 copies of the book following a top secret leak). The Delta Phenomenon is based on the idea that all markets follow certain trends that repeat on intermediate and long term forecasts. By identifying these “Delta” patterns you can see when turning points will occur and trade based on this information. Whilst this sounds rational enough, The Delta Phenomenon then goes on to talk about how other factors such as the moon and rotation of the earth on its axis. Welles Wilder claims that the patterns that The Delta Phenomenon  helps you to identify are so predictable you can chart them on a calendar. Read more

Anyone for Tennis Review Stark Investors

April 9, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by Stark Investors, Anyone for Tennis is tennis based sports betting tipsters service that is allegedly able to offer consistent profits to subscribers.

What is the product?

Anyone for Tennis is a tennis tipster service that is based on the idea of consistency with Stark Investors claiming that 11 out of 12 months will be profitable. Whilst the ins and outs of Anyone for Tennis aren’t discussed in any detail there are some hints from Stark Investors as to the selection process. They refer to the fact that in tennis there can only be two outcomes as one player or another will ultimately win. They also talk about having statistics on your side which strongly suggests that Anyone for Tennis mostly uses an analytical approach. This is also backed up to a degree when looking through the results which show a strong mixture of bets that are not what you would consider to be unexpected e.g. Djokovic and Federer both tipped for the French Open as well as some long shots. Bets themselves are rather numerous (with summer months getting as high as 75 bets per month) and varied with winners and each way bets as well as various accumulators to boost winings. Anyone for Tennis is proofed using level stakes however Stark Investors recommend a compounding system. In terms of strike rate, in the last 6 months Anyone for Tennis has attained approximately 34% although historically this is a service that does better in Summer. Read more

Auto Bet Engine Review Graham Ellis

April 9, 2015 Trading No comments

Created by Graham Ellis, Auto Bet Engine is a piece of binary options trading software that also allows you access to his personal trades. Auto Bet Engine

What is the product?

Auto Bet Engine is a downloadable piece of software that the creator, Graham Ellis says will help users to automatically profit through its trading selections. Auto Bet Engine does not trade on Forex however, rather it has been designed for use with binary options. The trading method is not detailed however it seems to be based on Graham Ellis’ allegedly self taught trading skills. These were developed following a string of attempts to make money through various tipster services ranging from horse racing to football to golf. As well as the software Auto Bet Engine users get beta access to Graham Ellis’ picks for trades which are automatically sent to you. Interestingly, in order to get access to any of this you are made to sign up and open a new account through VX Markets, the broker of choice for Auto Bet Engine. Read more

The Bank Builder Review Sportsworld Publishing

April 6, 2015 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Offered through Sportsworld Publishing, The Bank Builder is a horse racing tipster service that is marketed as having the ability to double your betting bank.

What is the product?

The Bank Builder is a horse racing tipster service that Sportsworld Publishing claim will allow you to double your betting bank on a frequent basis. Unfortunately there is no information on the selection process for The Bank Builder which as I shall explore below makes it a difficult system for me to personally get excited about. More likely than not however there is a form and statistics based angle as Sportsworld Publishing refer to The Bank Builder having a tricky month due to unforeseen factors. The system itself uses a level staking plan with bets being released almost daily (there were 76 selections made available in an 85 day window). The selections that The Bank Builder advises usually have odds of around 2.0 to 3.0 with a strike rate of 52%. The races that are covered are UK and Irish based. Read more

Best Mate Racing Tips Review Oliver Holland

April 5, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created Oliver Holland, Best Mate Racing Tips is a horse racing tipster service that provides users with different tip packages for various events.

What is the product?

Best Mate Racing Tips is really made up of three different tipster services however the focus is on the monthly package. The first of these is a package offering tips for Channel 4’s Saturday horse racing show. The second package, Full Racecard, gets you tips for a race day of your request. Finally is the monthly package which is known as Premium Membership. With this monthly option, Best Mate Racing Tips works out at offering around 30 selections per week over 6 days. Liability is kept low with Oliver Holland saying that Best Mate Racing Tips will never expose more than 11 points of your betting bank in a single day. Bets appear to be a combination of win and each way with the occasional doubles and trebles thrown in as well with average odds of 4/1. The selection process for Best Mate Racing Tips is not discussed at length however there are some details available. The service is a combination of insider knowledge (with Oliver Holland claiming that Best Mate Racing Tips is “in touch” with some of the top yards in the UK) as well as a statistical approach that checks and researches all of these selections.

Betfan TV Review Mark “Couch” Winstanley

April 4, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by the Betfan Group and starring Mark “Couch” Winstanley, Nigel Seeley and Jamie Banks, Betfan TV is a tipster service for a number of different sports.

What is the product?

Betfan TV is a tipster service that offers users a variety of different tips for a number of betting disciplines. Mark “Couch” Winstanley operates the horse racing side of Betfan TV where he allegedly draws heavily on his informant network which is claimed to be vast and in place at top training yards around the UK. Nigel Seeley offers tips to Betfan TV members on football with a massive variety of bets from first goal to predicting the goal outcome. Finally is Jamie Banks who seems to be relatively new to the tipster scene however he is tasked with general sports betting (with the focus having been on golf recently) so there is likely something that the Betfan team have seen. Betfan TV follows a rather odd staking plan of 4 points per bet (although I shall explore my thoughts on this later) which being a level stake plan seems pretty unique given the huge variety of odds that you will be betting against. At the time of writing there is no published strike rate however based off my calculations it is around the 50% mark which is a solid result. Read more
