Russell Gibbs

I have a request from one of my readers concerning a particular bet on the Russell Gibbs service. Apparently Russell states that on the 21st December the selection “Lockdown” was a winning PLACE Lay Bet. However he got the message that it was a normal win lay bet.

Personally I was away at Christmas so can’t confirm either way so if any readers using the service have a record of this, please let me know.

This reader is very happy with the service, having made over £10,000 profit from Russells lay bets alone, but feels he may have missed some profit on this bet.

Thanks

This service targets so called Super Trainers whereby we are backing horses from twenty four of the most profitable horse racing trainers operating in the UK today. We only bet if the odds are between 6/1 and 16/1 and we are told to expect long losing runs but nice priced winners.

We started testing this service at the beginning of December and have now run it for a full four months. In the first month we ran it manually and ended the month down by 18.5 points.

At the end of December, a betting bot was provided that allowed subscribers to bet automatically. I decided to run this bot 24/7 on my virtual server and, perhaps foolishly, used real money staking £5 level stakes on each selection. I pay more attention when my own money is on it!

There were a few nice priced winners, but not enough to make a profit. In fact, the bot gradually sucked £420 out of my Betfair account over the last three months, which is another 84 points down.

This makes the total loss since December a whopping 102.5 points. In the manual it says to operate with at least a 100 point bank which would mean, in this case, we’ve gone bust.

Long losing runs are to be expected when going after long shots, but unfortunately they haven’t done much for us this winter.

I would feel better about this if a 200 point bank were recommended, as then at least I would have the confidence to continue with it, but as such I’m going to call this one.

Obviously this will have to go down as a Failed, but I shall continue to monitor the results to see how it does over the flat season. If it does well then it may well be worth another look, but definitely with a bigger bank.

Longshot King

Similar to Winning Trainers, The Longshot King has had a torrid time of it this winter with the longest dry spell I’ve experienced so far. I’ll be updating the exact profit/loss figures at the end of the month but suffice to say, anyone that started using this service at the beginning of 2012 would have blown a 100 point betting bank plus about a quarter by now. Again, with this kind of betting a 200 point bank should be a must and I would recommend anyone betting on long shots to do so.

Of course, it would have to be a true 200 point bank. You wouldn’t believe the amount of times I’ve heard someone say ‘I blew 50% of my bank in xxx weeks, so I jacked it in’. Well, that wasn’t your bank then was it?

When setting a betting bank, decide exactly how much you are going to risk, in total, on a particular system or service. Let’s say it’s £500. Then work out your stake per bet by the amount of bank recommended. So if you are recommended a 200 point bank, you just divide £500 by 200 to get £2.50.

You quit if the bank is blown. If you quit when you’ve lost £250 then your bank was £250. So if your bank was £250 you should have been staking £1.25!

This applies to any system or service.

Anyhow, back to The Longshot King, if I were running a review of the service this year then I would have to label it as Failed due to the losses incurred. However, we reviewed this initially from January 2011 and did very well indeed, plus it continued to make very good profits throughout the year. Overall, anyone that joined since our review would still be well in profit, but anyone that joined this year would be out of pocket.

In light of this, I’m going to re categorise this service as Neutral and re-assess the situation over the next few months.

Value at the Races

Hi

I’m Julian, a new reviewer for Cash Master. I am a semi-professional arber with an additional interest in profitable trading and betting systems. I hold a PhD in X-ray astronomy. I live in the North East of England.

Value at the Races is a horse-racing backing service providing win and each way tips. These tips are believed to be over-priced horses in morning markets that go on to win or place at inflated odds. The over-price provides the value.

A 500 point starting bank is recommended. Advice on how many points to stake on each bet is provided. Usual bets will be 10 points win bets or 5 points each way bets. On an average day,  1 to 5 different bets are given.

Bets take about 5 mins to place. About another 5 mins to document. I will be using oddschecker to get the best odds available and best odds guaranteed where possible.

Tips usually arrive between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. each day. Tips are also available on a web-site.

Joining Value at the Races is currently priced at £40 a month. The gentleman providing the service calls himself Ed.

I will usually be updating the results daily. A detailed spread-sheet will be available on request.

The review will begin very shortly.

Just a quick update on the progress of this service and despite a small setback in January, this really seems to be pulling in the profits, with over 300 points so far this month alone.

Here’s the breakdown:

January: -31.06 points
February: +190.38 points
March (so far): +304 points

If you’re not using them already then it may be worth considering, at least for Cheltenham.
