The Betometer
The Betometer – supplemental
I have had a little discussion with the development team via email, and think I need to clarify my position.
One of the things that it is very difficult for a reviewer to do is to deviate from a point-of-view once an opening position has been established. My first opinion of The Betometer was that it is a trading platform with a few additional and unique features, and this set the direction of my subsequent review.
If I may be allowed to deviate a little here; I love Sci-Fi and Fantasy (typical IT Geek). To some people these books are devil spawn and hold no literary value. On the other hand, I could not read Bronte or Tolstoy and enjoy their books. The point being that it is impossible to please all of the people all of the time.
I now recognise that, in attempting to make The Betometer easy to use, the development team have used many elements in common with trading platforms. However, I concede that what the Betometer is attempting to do is find value (or the lack of it) to enrich your trading decisions, or to quote from their email “It (The Betometer) is a program that is not so much a tool but a suite of methods for finding and exploiting value”.
Unfortunately I am going to be one of those people who “just don’t get it” and I doubt I will ever be able to appreciate (or use) the unique features, so the only thing to do is try it, and see whether you do!

Champion Lays Bot
A good start to the trial of this bot. I’m using £1000 betting bank and I’ve set the bot to bet on everything staking 2% of the bank on each selection. This bot is running 24/7 on my virtual server so I just need to check the results from time to time.

Champion Lays Bot
Today I will be starting a test of the new Champion Lays Bot.
They are offering a two week free trial from today so anyone that wants to follow along with me can download the bot here:
http://www.cash-master.com/championlaysbot.php
Once you install the bot on your computer all you have to do is turn it on and it will automatically download the Champion Lays selections for you and place the bets based on settings that you choose. You can choose from level staking and fixed liability, set your own minimum and maximum lay odds, set your maximum tolerance for acceptable drift above our advised odds, even choose to omit any selections you may not be comfortable with.
We tested the Champion Lays e-mail service in June for a month and gave it a Neutral rating, but the trial period was outside the football season so the timing wasn’t ideal. According to them, so far since the 10th January this year Champion Lays has had 162 selections with 133 of those winning, which is an 82% strike rate.
It will be interesting to see how this bot does. As usual, I’ll be running it on my Virtual Server so I can just leave the thing on 24/7 and report back.
Also, I’ve had a lot of people ask me about which virtual server to use and according to Champion Lays this one works fine and is only about £12 a month:

Of course you can simply run the bot on your home computer if you prefer.

Betometer
I have been asked to look at the Betometer. My first thoughts were this was a trading platform like Betting Assistant, Bet Angel Lite, The Geek Toy, etc, and indeed it can be used that way. However, it wasn’t until I looked at the video that I understood what the Unique Selling Point for this tool is.
Betometer provides a simple, quick way to analyse the market against the Betometer’s team’s ratings. These ratings are shown as odds, so you can quickly tell whether a selection is over-priced, under-priced or about right. The videos suggest three strategies depending on this information: Dutch 2 or more selections, Lay Dutch 2 or more selections, or simple tick-offset trading. I am sure that, in time, further strategies will be added. For example, if the Betometer team indicate 2 clear favourites based on their ratings, you Dutch these to win. If the Betometer clear favourite isn’t the market favourite you could either back trade the Betometer favourite looking for the price to come in or lay trade the market favourite looking for the price to drift. The video on the sales page makes this a bit clearer I feel.
The Betometer team are keen to make the tool reflect what their customers want, and are happy to field suggestions. As the strategies mentioned above seem to rely on placing bets as the race starts, I think an audio alarm would be most useful for me. I would also like to see a forum so that Betometer users can swap strategies. I am sure these will appear if there is enough demand.
The success of tool will ultimately be decided on the veracity of their ratings. It is impossible to review these as, in all probability, if I gave them to 5 different people I would get 5 different interpretations of the market. Also, it is difficult for me to syphon off just the ratings so that I could provide a statistical analysis of them.
Without a prolonged trial it is difficult to provide a recommendation as to approve or not. The tool is clearly not rubbish though!

Psychic Soccer Profits

Blackburn v Arsenal +£22.86
29th August
Bolton v Birmingham +£23.28
Bordeaux v Marseille +£23.73
Total Profit: +£272.69
Time to wrap up the review of this bot. Basically there’s not a lot to say other than you switch it on and leave it to run. If you use a Virtual Server, as I do, then you don’t have to do anything further, just leave it running 24/7. If you’re running it on your PC at home then you just have to switch the thing on and leave it running all day.
The results aren’t exactly exciting, £272.69 profit since May 8th using a £1000 betting bank. So that’s 27% growth in bank in four months. Still, it’s not to be sniffed at either. A profit is a profit.
I’ve found this one a little difficult to categorise. It does work and therefore should go in the Approved section, but the profit may not cover the subscription costs, in which case I would have to put it in the Neutral section.
Since the thing is no longer for sale I guess it makes no difference but just in case they release it again in the future then you need to make a decision on whether to subscribe based on the price they are asking, and the betting bank you are prepared to set aside for this. If it’s £50 a month and you’re using a £2000 betting bank or above then it’ll probably be worth having. If it’s £100 a month and you’ve only got a £500 betting bank then stay away.
If it becomes available again you’ll be able to get it here:

Betfair Pirate
Two months into the test and the £500 betting bank is down to £149.54.
Not a good sign but also not a good time to bail out. I may as well stay in for the long haul and see if it recovers and goes on to make a profit, or dumps my whole bank!
Profit: -£350.46
Bank: £149.54

The Master Plan
This method continues to perform nice and steadily. Results from 13th August (when they opened the doors again) show a £63.38 profit if starting with a £600 betting bank, which represents 10.6% growth in the bank in just 19 days. It will be interesting to see what the bank stands at in one year!

The Staking Machine
Just to let you know that The Staking Machine is currently on sale until the end of August.
This is a great bit of kit that allows you to enter in data from whatever system you happen to be using and it shows the results you would get using different staking plans, so you can work out what the most effective staking plan is for whatever betting method you are employing. It’s a one off purchase and worth every penny for anyone serious about their betting.
You can get The Staking Machine at a discount here:

The Master Plan
Time for an update on The Master Plan.
The long and short of it is that, it’s all good news! Since the system had it’s hiccup it’s been solid profits daily, gradually recovering the loss. The team behind this service have really shown their true mettle and seem to have bent over backwards to make up for the losing day.
We had an explanation from John Duncan describing exactly why the bot fell over in the first place, which was to do with the fact that they had made the bot calculations based on market SP prices and not the better Betfair SP prices. So although the bot performed entirely as it was supposed to, for the first time in 29 months the higher Betfair SP prices allowed one too many bets to get through the filter that should not have done so, and this wasn’t something they could have foreseen.
So they fixed this error, gave everyone a free subscription until they had recovered what they had lost, and set about implementing a recovery strategy that included running a couple of different systems on the bot at the same time. And it worked.
I have been very impressed with how they responded to this hiccup and I’ve had a few e-mails from other subscribers along the same lines.
In view of this I have decided to re-catagorise this service as Approved. I’ve been using the bot every day myself and it’s a neat piece of kit with quite an amazing profit potential due to compounding the bank daily.
I will do another update on this service in a couple of months.
