Created by a tipster known only as Mick, The Informer is a horse racing tipster service that provides selections based on an informant network.
What is the product?
The Informer is an independent tipster service that has been built up by the creator, Mick, with a view to offering selections based off an allegedly rather sizeable list of contacts. Mick says that he has worked in the horse racing industry for over 25 years where he has carried out a number of different roles. During this time he claims to have built up a substantial network of contacts ranging from jockeys to trainers and even owners who are happy to provide him with the latest in the know information. As a service The Informer will typically offer around 2-4 bets per week which are usually win bets although there may also be the occasional each way bet too. Staking is again rather varied with numbers between 1 and 5 points depending on how strong the advice is. The Informer’s selections are loaded directly onto the main website where you can log into a member’s area or alternatively, you can arrange to have them sent via text message. There are also two premium phone lines available which seem to offer different tips on each.
What is the investment vs. the rate of return?
Access to tips are sold on a subscription basis which is in turn available for £50 for a month, £125 per quarter, £200 for 6 months or £325 for a full year. The premium phone lines are £1.53 per minute when you call. Unfortunately no money back guarantee is offered however this is standard for most tipster services. In terms of income potential, The Informer allegedly made 270 points of profit last year however there is no real proofing for this.
Does the product provide value for money?
Personally I feel that without more evidence, The Informer is simply too expensive to be value for money.
Conclusion
The Informer has allegedly turned a profit in 2014 however the most important thing to point out is that there is no real evidence of this. I also don’t see much evidence of a contact network outside of gallop information on horses that are already clearly fancied in the media. Finally there is the cost of the service which is on par with top end tipster services that are proven. Personally I find that, The Informer isn’t for me.
