I have been receiving the bets from this service for the last week. The reason for the late start to the blog is that I was having some difficulty to understanding some of the bets advised.

This is sold as a football betting tips service but you do also receive quite a few tennis tips as a bonus. It was these tennis bets that were causing me some problems as the bets advised were not available at the bookie quoted and infact I couldn’t find them at any bookie. I have swapped a few emails with the vendors and this now seems to have been sorted out and the emails are a lot clearer.

Emails generally arrive anywhere between 4 and 11 A.M. and list the bets to be placed and the bookmaker’s price that was available when they were sent out. As usual, I have been checking the prices available when I receive the list and I’m pleased to say that I’ve been able to get a bigger price on the majority of them, always a nice indication of honesty.

The basic advice is to start with a 200 point bank and selections are supplied with a points value for each bet. The vast majority are 5 point bets although we’ve had a good few smaller and the odd 6 point selection.

There have been a lot of selections this week including straight home/away win, Over-Under 2.5, Asian Handicap and just a few on the less common markets of Number of Cards, Corners and Both To Score. Basically nothing too obscure, and I’m very pleased to say thay they’ve been very good so far.

Due to the number of bets I have decided that the best way to blog this will be to give a simple profit or loss figure for the day and then provide a weekly Google Docs link that will show all the bets and I have also included a second list of results using a variable bank. The main figures will always be given using the recommended 200 point bank and the staking level given for each bet, the variable bank recalculates the 200 point value on the closing balance each day.

So to this week’s results:

28/4 -2.75 points

29/4 +22.5 points

30/4 +9.2 points

1/5  +13.1 points

2/5 -1.05 points

3/5 -15.5 points

4/5 +2.83 points

5/5 +30.85 points

6/5 +18.53 points.

That’s 77.71 points in 9 days. The sales page claims average profits of around 40 points a month, so I’m not getting ahead of myself here. Maybe we’ve had an exeptional week.  This week has shown a strike rate of around 60% and average odds of 2.08. But that odds figure is a little higher than what I’d expect. We had a tennis bet advised today that was given at an advised price of 1.80. When I looked on oddschecker, it was available at 9.50 and was on an outsider against a fav priced at 1.08. I did email to try and clarify that the bet was correctly advised but I have not heard back from them yet and the match has now been played so I have recorded it as it was written in the email. It lost (not surprisingly at those odds) so has not artificially boosted profits although it will have raised the av odds a little.

Here’s a link to the detailed results sheet. All prices used are the ones I saw available on oddschecker using bookmakers I trust (as much as I trust any bookie anyway), you do not need excel or any other software to see the sheet:
