Secret Bot Review Ken Emery

March 14, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by Ken Emery, Secret Bot is a unique piece of software that provides horse racing tips to subscribers.

What is the product?

Secret Bot is a piece of software but it is worth keeping in mind that this software is only a distribution method for the tips. The actual selections are handled by the creator, Ken Emery. Selections themselves are for about 50% of races on that day. In terms of how the selections are made there is a disappointing lack of information available. It is worth noting that Ken Emery says that Secret Bot is not designed for casual punters but is instead aimed at professional bettors who are perhaps looking to expand their portfolio. Read more

Nap Investor Review Nathan Price

March 13, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by Nathan Price and marketed through Winning Information Network, Nap Investor is a new horse racing tipster service that provides win bet selections.

What is the product?

Nap Investor is a horse racing tipster service that has a focus on backing win bets with up to 3 bets being made available each day. Staking is somewhat varied with bets being recommended at anywhere between 1 and 5 points with creator Nathan Price sends selections out directly via email.  Whilst the actual selection process is kept secret Nathan Price does divulge some information. He starts by alluding to a contact network within the horse racing industry. He also talks about how he and his team analyse “breeding, past performance, race times and running style” as well as receiving all the latest gallop news. The odds on the horses that Nap Investor will be selecting are varied but are typically between 2.0 and 8.0 although odds do go into the double figures with a few high priced winners having come in. Despite these odds (which generally seem to be 3.0 and above), Nap Investor has achieved an average strike rate of 35.73% based off Winning Information Networks proofing. What is particularly impressive about this is the average isn’t really brought up by a one off month with the strike rate to date always being between 30% and 40% Read more

The Informer Review tipster ‘Mick’

March 12, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

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. Read more

Winners Enclosure Review Peter Driver

March 11, 2015 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Created by Peter Driver, Winners Enclosure is allegedly a piece of software for scalping in horse racing but this is pretty far removed from the truth.

What is the product?

I went into Winners Enclosure expecting a piece of software, after all, this is what Peter Driver spends the entirety of the squeeze page selling you. In fact, he makes it sound fantastic, an application that can be used on a mobile device or desktop PC that helps with scalping in horse racing, even going as far as to touch on the fact that he has a background in computer programming. When you actually buy into Winners Enclosure however you are redirected to a member’s area that offers you a step by step process (with step one being sign up with Peter Driver’s recommended bookmaker) which then launches immediately into talking about selections. This is what Winners Enclosure actually seems to be about as there is no software in site. What you do get is a list of the days recommended bets (with as many as 40 selections in one day) with advice that you pick 10 of these. This is very far removed from the software that claims to look at a multitude of factors ranging from the horse and jockey’s previous performance, track conditions and insider information from some allegedly very influential people involved in horse racing (Peter Driver claims that he has made a number of contacts having been to over 10,000 horse races).

Betting Edge Review Tipster Service

March 10, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Offered by Oxfordshire Press, Betting Edge is a new tipster service that specialises in providing value selections for a variety of sports.

What is the product?

Betting Edge is a website offering subscribers a somewhat sporadic tipster service, namely as the focus is on value betting. Tips come courtesy of a team of professionals all of whom are involved in betting in some way or another, from employees of bookmakers (in a variety of positions) to professional bettors and sports analysts. Oxfordshire Press, the company behind Betting Edge say that all of these are at the top of their game and all offer something. In terms of the selections themselves, these cover a huge number of sporting events with examples so far in football, tennis and snooker with a host of other sports covered as well. I mentioned that Betting Edge offers somewhat sporadic tips and this evident in the fact that Oxfordshire Press say that their aim is to send out around 5 selections per week. Since its inception at the end of January Betting Edge is some way off this figure with only a handful of bets offered, none of which have won however there are a number of reasons for this. The two most prominent lie in the fact that Betting Edge concerns itself with identifying undervalued bets which is a system that doesn’t return frequent winners. The other and more important point is that all the bets have been betting on winners of tournaments etc. which inherently are a more difficult prediction to make. Read more

Football Cash Machine System Review Chris Williams

March 10, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters One comment

Created by Chris Williams, Football Cash Machine System is a betting system for football that takes advantage of an oft overlooked market.

What is the product?

Football Cash Machine System is a betting system that helps you to identify your own football bets. The system is based around a high strike rate with Chris Williams claiming that Football Cash Machine System has won a very impressive 96% of bets. Whilst this isn’t proofed in full (he says that showing the results would give away the method behind Football Cash Machine System) there is evidence of this showing whether bets won or lost on Betfair. The system itself is spread over more than 100 minutes of videos (broken down into 3 different subjects) as well as coming with a PDF that also outlines the methods. Whilst I cannot go into the  methods as it would pretty much give away Chris Williams’ system, Football Cash Machine System is very easy to use and not overly time consuming. All that you have to do is check a certain website before a game and compare some basic information and if the odds are right on Betfair simply place your bet. Read more

The Syndicate Review Matt Houghton, Karl Zanft and Miles Tredwell

March 9, 2015 Gambling / Tipsters, General News One comment

Provided by Matt Houghton, Karl Zanft and Miles Tredwell through Agora Lifestyles, The Syndicate is a specialist horse racing tipster service.

What is the product?

The Syndicate is a horse racing tipster service that unlike the majority of offerings uses a number of different experts to identify selections from their own niche. The Syndicate  team is made up of Matt Houghton, Karl Zanft and Miles Tredwell who between them offer advice on flat, hunt and year round bets with up to 10 selections being made available per day. The selection process for The Syndicate is obviously based on the knowledge of the team of experts however Matt Houghton, Karl Zanft and Miles Tredwell all say that they use their own methods of assessing and analysing the data for upcoming races. This means that you may not necessarily get bets for every race on a given day. The Syndicate’s bets are generally win although there seems to be the possibility of each way bets also being utilised.  In terms of numbers, Agora Lifestyles have failed to supply anything tangible with no strike rate available and no sign of any proofing, something that you would expect to be in place on a tipster service.

European Premier Football Lay the Draw Review Kevin Steele

March 9, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by Kevin Steele, European Premier Football Lay the Draw is a piece of software that uses its own betting system to identify lay betting opportunities.

What is the product?

European Premier Football Lay the Draw is a programme (that is only compatible with Windows) that you can download to your computer to make draw based lay betting selections for you. These are all based around the top European leagues with the focus being on games that are unlikely to end in a draw. In fact, the system that Kevin Steele has devised for European Premier Football Lay the Draw is based around teams being selected from a set criteria, one of which is that they have not had a recent draw result. Because European Premier Football Lay the Draw is a lay betting service an account will be required through a betting exchange with the most popular example being Betfair. In terms of figures, it is early days for European Premier Football Lay the Draw and as such there isn’t a huge amount of data available however what there is shows a strike rate of 80%. This is a rather worrying figure for a lay betting service as a low strike rate can quickly decimate your betting bank. Read more

PremLays Review

March 8, 2015 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Offered under the Sportsworld Publishing umbrella, PremLays is a lay betting tipster service that provides selections for Premier League games.

What is the product?

PremLays is an email based tipster service with the (unnamed) tipster providing lay selections for Premier League games. Last season this amounted to 99 games or around 3-4 each week. Whilst there is no details from Sportsworld Publishing on the selection process for PremLays it is quite clear when looking at the selections that it isn’t an overly complicated one with teams such as Swansea, Stoke City an Cardiff City making up the majority of selections. Out of the 99 selections that PremLays identified just 6 lost which is a respectable win rate of 93.94%. Naturally being a lay betting system I would expect PremLays to produce this kind of strike rate when compared with a more traditional tipster service. Read more

The Low Lay Review

March 8, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters, General News No comments

Offered by an anonymous tipster, The Low Lay is a horse racing tipster service that provides you with a daily lay bet tip.

What is the product?

The Low Lay is a tipster service offering subscribers with a single tip each day. Selections are sent out via email, usually before 11.30 with all bets being lay bets.  This does mean that to use The Low Lay subscribers will need an account with a betting exchange with the most well known of these being Betfair. The Low Lay keeps all odds below 3.0 which means the recommended betting bank of 20 points should be ok. This is based off a strike rate that my research showed up at about 70% although due to the length of time that The Low Lay has been operational this is very dependent on when you subscribe. There is unfortunately no information about the selection process which is disappointing. With just one selection per day it could use a number of approaches. Read more
