There were no selections between last Sunday and Thursday. So the reason for an absence of posts was the lack of selections and not me sneaking off for a quick holiday.

I received an email this morning stating that in view of the poor recent results the free trial would continue indefinitely. On that basis, I think it only fair that I carry on with this trial beyond the thirty days.

There were four selections on Friday, one was a non-runner and two were in the same race. As there were only four runners I took the route of discretion (being the better part of valour) and avoided the race. However, neither selection won and so, if I had exercised less discretion, the bank would be £19.00 higher. As this is a test and subscribers were given the option, the choice was limited to laying both selections or avoiding the race, otherwise I would have taken a serious look at dutching the other two runners to see which approach represented the best value.

Saturday produced two selection, both of which were winning lays, though at odds well over 10/1.

This is an expensive system, as such things go: £125 for outright purchase, or a tipping service for £40 per month. If you go for outright purchase, you get a 4 page manual and mean as this sounds, it contains all the information you need – and nothing else. No links to other sites, half of which don’t work, no suggestions how to handle your money, no advice on the psychology of betting, just the straight facts. There are 11 rules to apply and while this sounds heavy, in fact you can whip through them surprisingly easily. It helps that you don’t have to do it very often in a week because one of the first rules is that you can only bet on certain race meetings. You use the Racing Post website for your ponderings and you don’t need a subscription.

I have tested this system since the 23rd July, in which time I have had just seven betting days – these are days when one of the specified meetings shows up. From these, I had 17 horses which survived the 11 rules and became bets. They all lost. Now, 17 successful bets doesn’t constitute the end of our search for the ultimate betting system but the fact that this system has lost only 3 bets this year and only 7 in 2009 gives one a flicker of hope.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate lay systems; I hate the way they lure you into a false sense of security, then whip the rug from under your feet with a couple of well placed winners. However, I have a sneaking feeling that this system might just change my mind and for that reason I’m going to keep testing it for another month. After all, many a system considered successful doesn’t do better than 10 points a month and of course, profits depend on your level of staking. I’ll let you, dear reader, do the math.

The bare stats are:

P/L +16.15 pts
Strike Rate 100%
Average Odds 10.24
ROI 95% after comm.

Needless to say, this is Approved.

Yesterday’s two selections produced a 50% strike rate!

The losing lay was the lower priced selection (fortunately), but that still reduced the bank by another £80. I’m beginning to wonder if there will be a bank at the end of the trial… or a trial at the end of the bank.

RESULTS: Saturday, 21st August

Ripon 16.10, Piazza San Pedro £10 @ 20.00 = £9.50
Bath 19.05, One Scoop Or Two £10 @ 9.00 = -£80.00 LOSS

Daily P/L -£70.50
Ongoing bank £322.50

Profit From Systems Laying Service Final Review

This service is a tipping service costing £35 per month where you log in to a members only area to collect the selections to Lay. You need to do this in the morning for the afternoon races and just after 6pm for the evening races.

There is an odds range for the selections that is based upon Betfair SP. As BSP can’t be calculated prior to the off, in effect this means the odds range is for the live Betfair price. Sometimes this will get bets you shouldn’t and you’ll not get bets you should. I asked John about this, and his response is that whilst this is true it does even itself out.

The webpage boasts about 12 points made per month on average and the sales page states the monthly target is 8 points. With a profit of £246 using £100 stakes (2.46 points), neither of these two targets were achieved during the trial.

The couple of emails I fired at John were answered promptly, so no worries there.

As using a more sensible stake of £10 would not have covered the cost of subscription I would normally place this as NEUTRAL. However, as the frequency of the losses suggests that with a decent loss-recovery stake plan a more significant return would be possible I am going to lean towards APPROVED.

Day 31 – 21 August

.

No selections will be posted for Sunday, so this seems an opportune moment to wrap the trial up.

Another gap of a few days waiting for the usable meetings to run and yesterday we did find a pair of possibles. One of these was filtered out by the odds range but the second did do the job and duly lost.

Average Odds 10.24
