Created by known horse racing tipster Nick Pullen, Juicy Plums is a free horse racing tipster service that seeks to identify horses with the best value.
What is the product?
Juicy Plums is a free tipster service that provides weekly tips for major weekend horse racing events. Any tips that Nick Pullen identifies are uploaded to the website where they can be accessed on Friday evenings from 5pm. Selections for Juicy Plums do not come from a typical pattern with Nick Pullen saying that he often uses his instinct as much as his intellect and where other tipsters will look purely at form, he trusts in the feel of a race. This makes his considerable time and experience in horse racing quite important. Juicy Plums doesn’t produce a lot of bets with there being around 3-6 events covered on a weekend with the number of bets per event rarely numbering more than 2. Odds are anywhere between 5/1 going as high as 25/1 although Nick Pullen says that the majority of Juicy Plums selections will be double figures. With these high odds come a low strike rate which although not published can be contextualised by pointing out that the service has produced just 1 14/1 winner for 2015 to date. Juicy Plums selections are usually win bets however in the event that there are 16 or more horses bets will be advised as each way.
What is the investment vs. the rate of return?
Nick Pullen offers Juicy Plums selections on an entirely free basis through his website. This means that the only real outlay is a betting bank which given the high odds and strike rate for Juicy Plums is likely to take a battering from time to time. In terms of income, Nick Pullen is showing a profit of £440 for win bets and £448.66 for each way bets which are based off £5 stakes. This means a points profit of 88 points and 89.7 points respectively. This is over a long period with Juicy Plums having been operational since March 2013 however this does equate to a 52/53% ROI which is respectable.
Does the product provide value for money?
Given the fact that Juicy Plums is free and has ultimately shown a profit, it is hard not to consider it a value for money product.
Conclusion
Juicy Plums is not going to make you a full time income but the service doesn’t really appear to be geared towards this. As far as free services go, Juicy Plums doesn’t look to be something that will appeal to a serious bettor however for the weekend punter it will likely be of more interest. The selection process may be off putting to some based off the fact that it relies on “instinct” however I have looked at Nick Pullen and his work before and he seems to know his stuff so I don’t find this too concerning. The long and short of things is that this is a free service that has produced a profit over a long term. As far as free services go, Juicy Plums isn’t a bad option at all and is one of the better examples I have looked at, especially in terms of favouring longer odds.
