Pro Betting Network Review

August 19, 2014 Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Offered through Oxfordshire Press, Pro Betting Network is a tipster group made up of 6 tipsters topped by Peter Mac. They provide tips for all kinds of events.

What is the product?

Pro Betting Network is a tipster stable offered by Oxfordshire Press. Tips come from 6 different tipsters, many with pseudonyms that provide information on their background. The tipsters cover a host of events from Mr. Hack, who is allegedly involved with the world of media and as such is able to get the latest on who will win awards at things like the BAFTAs or Sports Personality of the Year. Another good example is Mr. Black, an alleged pro snooker player who as well as using his status as a top 50 player to gain insight into snooker, also provides selections for golf based off his own analysis. The bets are hugely varied and cover a massive number of bet types. As well as the more elaborate bets covered, Pro Betting Network also covers more traditional disciplines such as football and tennis. Read more

The Racing Professionals Review

August 17, 2014 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

The Racing Professionals is a tipster service operated by an unnamed tipster. It specialises in providing high risk, high yield tips.

What is the product?

The Racing Professionals is a service that provides horse racing selections each day via email. The numbers of tips varies hugely and can be anywhere between 1 and 9 selections per day. The Racing Professionals is all about using high odds to try and maximise return which naturally has a negative impact on the strike rate which comes in at a rather dismal looking 8.6%. This is somewhat offset however by the size of the wins which in the case of the biggest winner The Racing Professionals has achieved which has a BSP (Betfair Start Price) of 607.45. Obviously this kind of victory is exceptionally rare and in fact is the only example of a winner that is above 100 BSP. Because of this style of betting a large betting bank is a must have, as is patience. Read more

Betsoon Review

August 15, 2014 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Created by Owen Hargreaves, Betsoon is a daily tipster service that provides selections for a large variety of sports and horse racing.

What is the product?

Betsoon is an interesting proposition that offers tips for a number of sports that is broken down into packages. These are comprised of horse racing, football and finally US sports and tennis (with these two being lumped together). Selections are daily and can be anywhere between 50 and 200 per month although this is namely down to you the package that you select. Information about how Betsoon’s selections are generated is unfortunately absent but I can tell you that the strike rate stands at 57.55% for the last 12 months according to Owen Hargreaves. Looking at the results however shows that since January the strike rate is actually around 47%. Read more

The Jolly Punter Review

August 13, 2014 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Created by a tipster who only goes by the name of Billy, The Jolly Punter is a horse racing service that uses a number of systems to find selections.

What is the product?

The Jolly Punter is a horse racing tipster service created by a tipster “Billy” (a suspected pseudonym as the sales video on the sales page links to a Circle Media YouTube channel). The Jolly Punter sends out daily selections which can be as much as 6 but would typically be around 2 or 3. The selections come from a number of different systems that “Billy” uses. The first two are relatively standard fair and whilst they dismiss form, study of a large number of typical statistics (looking at the course, race type, jockey, trainer etc.) all seem to be considered. The third system that is used takes advantage of much more obscure statistics such as the type of food the horse is fed and the length of time with a trainer. If you believe the sales material there is some truth in this as The Jolly Punter is claimed to be very profitable. Unfortunately there are no statistics provided to back this up so things such as a strike rate are left to speculation which is based on my research. Reports for The Jolly Punter include people claiming just a 5% strike rate with one win in twenty. Read more

Ultimate Lotologist Review

July 31, 2014 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Ultimate Lotologist markets itself as a memorabilia trading site for lottery scratch cards within the UK although this seems to be nothing more than a crude cover.

What is the product?

Ultimate Lotologist is a very dubious product in my opinion. The creator of Ultimate Lotologist starts by talking about memorabilia and the commercial call for this before ultimately fixating on lottery tickets as memorabilia, more specifically scratch cards. The notion of limited runs etc. is touched upon before the whole thing take a shift towards the financial with Ultimate Lotologist claiming that this represents a chance to get in on a great thing and make lots of money. Ultimate Lotologist achieves this by using a suspiciously similar setup to a pyramid scheme. The big difference is that there is no cash changing hands, rather “memorabilia” in the form of scratch cards. Scratch cards that you send unscratched allowing your recipient to play. You start getting your scratch cards from further down your downline ultimately having the potential to receive scratch cards from 4 levels down from you (but never the person that you induct into Ultimate Lotologist). You can opt to be part of a group trading lottery tickets at anywhere from £1 – £10. Read more

Arbs2u Review

July 26, 2014 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Created by Francis Smith, Arbs2u is a piece of betting software that identifies and automatically places arbitrage bets for users.

What is the product?

Arbs2u is essentially a betting robot that rather than relying on an underlying system instead takes advantage of arbitrage. The creator of Arbs2u, Francis Smith says that this eliminates any complex staking calculations and the constant need to check your prices as Arbs2u does all this for you. Naturally being a betting bot, Arbs2u is fully automated and appears to cover a number of different sports. Whilst Francis Smith doesn’t provide a comprehensive list it seems that if a sport isn’t covered he plans to do so in the future. In terms of the ins and outs of Arbs2u, Francis Smith isn’t particularly forthcoming. I would usually consider this problematic but given the set up that is used, I can easily overlook this. The software itself seeks out low risk arbitrage opportunities and comes with a stop-loss feature to minimise any losses. As Arbs2u progresses Francis Smith says that it is his intention to expand compatibility of the software. Read more

Race Elite Review

July 23, 2014 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Created by Paul Sanford, Race Elite is a horse racing tipster service that favours backing horses with outside chances.

What is the product?

Race Elite is a pretty standard example of a tipster service. Created by Paul Sanford, it provides selections for flat and national hunt races with said selections being sent directly to subscribers email “most days”. The races covered y Race Elite are all in the UK or Ireland and the majority of bets will be back to win with a focus on extracting value by backing horses with longer odds (anywhere from 2/1 right up to 20/1). Race Elite uses a unique system that Paul Sanford makes no effort to divulge information about instead saying that it is based on older systems he has used that have worked. In terms of the performance it is difficult to gauge, there is no proofing and Race Elite provides no strike rate. Read more

Flaming Torch Roulette System Review

July 22, 2014 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Created by the Flaming Torch group, Flaming Torch Roulette System is a betting system for European roulette.

What is the product?

Flaming Torch are a group that provide a number of betting systes with a focus on Casino games. Flaming Torch Roulette System is their system for betting on roulette profitably. The system comes as a PDF which also works with a video training to support and reinforce what is taught. As mentioned, this is designed to work with European Roulette but could just as easily work with a US wheel. What Flaming Torch Roulette System does is allows you minimise the risk of losing your betting bank whilst at the same time providing reasonable scope for a win. As you can imagine, this makes for a low risk low yield system which won’t suit everybody. With that in mind this is definitely designed to be a long term strategy and one that you have to be willing to walk away from. Read more

Star Geldings Review

July 19, 2014 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Created by Brian Tomlinson, Star Geldings is a horse racing tipster service from Tipster Hub. The service provides selections for horses with long odds.

What is the product?

Star Geldings is the first offering from Tipster Hub with the selections side of things being handled by Brian Tomlinson. The service favours selecting horses that have a BSP of 20-50 with the average Star Geldings winner having a BSP of 8.3. This is all geared towards a service that favours infrequent but big winners rather than consistent but small. This is reflected in the strike rate which is a rather paltry (on paper) 16.75%. The selections themselves are sent out via email although Star Geldings doesn’t appear to be a daily service like many tipster services. The selection process isn’t ever discussed which I find disappointing although this seems to be industry standard by now. The closest you come to any explanation are claims that Brian Tomlinson is a horse racing fanatic but that doesn’t really explain anything. Read more
