National Hunt Naps

Poor weather continues to plague this system. The 2 month trial has ended without a single selection this week, but also we draw close to the official end of the National Hunt season.

In 8 weeks we have only managed 23 selections from the race meetings that survived the weather. This is a statistically poor sample from which to extrapolate any conclusions.  If this system was in profit I would not be comfortable approving the system, and so, for the same reasons, I cannot disapprove it either if it was in loss.

I feel the best way to approach this is not to rate it all and schedule a retest at the start of the next season in October. If any rating must be applied then it has to be Neutral.

It follows that there is little point in discussing the results data. For those of you reading this who have bought the system, there appears to be a slight leaning towards using early-bird prices rather than SP; but take heed of the “not enough data” warning here too.

Well this service is going remarkably well.

Since I started using it on 29th January I’ve had the following results:

Bets: 87
Successful: 69
Unsuccessful: 18
Strike Rate: 79.3
Average Odds: 3.95

Total Profit: £548.96

I’ve been doing flat £25 stakes and using the Bet Engine to place my bets for me (plus it records all the above stats for me too, which is handy).

So in seven weeks it’s made £548 profit and it only takes about a minute to set up each morning.

And the ridiculous thing is that this costs only £6.99 a week and you get a full refund if you don’t make a profit in that week.

I’ll run this for another month before giving a final verdict but at the moment it looks like one I’ll be adding to my portfolio.

Racing Profit Booster

This is a one off review of the Racing Profit Booster software available from the Steve Davidson stable and this really is an excellent bit of kit.

Essentially what you get is a bit of software that finds risk free bets for you by scanning all the bookie prices and comparing them with Betfair prices. If it finds a horse where the lay odds on Betfair are less than the back odds at the bookies, it’ll let you know.

It’s incredibly simple to use. You select what type of bet you want between an equal hedge bet where you make the same amount of profit regardless of the horse winning or losing, a free back bet at the bookies whereby you make a profit if it wins but draw even if it loses, or the opposite, a free Lay bet at Betfair where you profit if it loses but draw even if it wins.

Importantly the software accounts for your Betfair commission (you input what rate you have), so any profit is worked out after Betfair commission is deducted.

You can set other criteria such as minimum lay stake, maximum lay odds and even a minimum ROI so it doesn’t bother alerting you if the profit on a trade is less than you think worthwhile.

If you watch the video above (or on their website) you can see it in action.

So how does it work in practice?

Well it’s great actually. All I have been doing is switching the thing on whenever I’m at my computer, and setting it to scan the markets in automatic mode, then just leaving it.

Every few minutes it runs a full scan and if it finds a trade it will give an audio alert and show the details of the trade. There is no need to monitor the software as the alert will tell you when there is something worth looking at.

I had mine set to a minimum of 10% ROI because I didn’t want to bother with placing trades just to win a couple of quid.

So you can just get on with whatever you’re doing on your computer and you’ll get alerts throughout the day, the frequency of which depends on the ROI you have set but I found I was getting maybe two or three an hour.

You click on the race highlighted and another box opens up showing you exactly how much to stake at the bookie and at Betfair and how much profit you will make. So you just go and place your risk free bet and wait for the race to finish to bank your profit (or draw even).

Like any trading, you do need to have sufficient trading funds to make it worthwhile. So for a 10% return, you’ll need to stake around £100 to make £10 profit but that’s all without risking your bank at all. So if you wish to place multiple bets throughout the day you need to make sure you have the funds to cover all the bets as some races may not have run before another trade becomes available.

What I really like about this is the flexibility.

You really can just switch the thing on whenever you fancy it, and it’ll find bets for you that are totally risk free and will guarantee a profit. If you’re that way inclined you could use it all day, every day, and make a guaranteed income without ever risking your bank, so you could compound your bank significantly over time without ever having draw downs.

Or, like me, you can just switch it on whenever you’re available to bet and it’ll find bets for you pretty much any time of the day or night. And you can use it in the morning too, before racing has even started because the bookies give early prices and often they are overpriced so you can get decent 25%+ trades fairly often.

I really like this software. It’s very simple and extremely effective and does exactly what you want it to do. If you want to make a guaranteed income from betting without ever risking your funds then you won’t go far wrong with this one.

It’s Approved with bells on.

Reminded by Grahams recent posting regarding the free Ante Post Cheltenham betting guide on offer from BetAlchemist, I am reminded to update the blog on the progress of this tipping service that is currently under review.

From the last posting on 3rd February , there have been 22 selections resulting in a little under an 12 pt loss to the bank. So the bank currently stands at -1.8 pts.

Nicky has been busy over the previous weeks offering a number of Ante Post bets for the Cheltenham festival.
Once Cheltenham has finished, I will update this review with an interim Cheltenham Ante Post specific blog entry, detailing how these tips have also fared.

Bet Alchemist

We are still reviewing the Bet Alchemist service, but for those of you wondering how to join, the main service page has been temporarily replaced with Nicky’s Ante Post Betting Guide for the Cheltenham Festival.

He’s giving this away for free (he’s had winners at 6/1, 10/1, 10/1, 12/1, 14/1, 25/1 & 66/1) so if you’re interested then head over and get yourself a copy.

The main service page should be going back up next week.

You can get the Festival Guide for free this week here:

This is a new service that has been in pre-launch testing for the last 60 days and is something a little different from the usual tipsters and systems we see. It went into Live Member service this weekend.

I’ve been able to watch its performance for the last month, I got actively involved this weekend, and must say that I’m very impressed indeed so far.

What we have is a Live Trading Room to log into. Once in you can see a forum where the trader “DoomMeister” writes up all the football trades he’s planning to get involved with and there’s a Live Chat ticker type screen where you can converse with Doom and other members in real time. This is where he gives out his Horse Racing trades and can also give extra advice about the ongoing football matches. Although this is an Austrian based forum and despite the Meister part of the name, DoomMeister is English and posts  his advice in English so we have no translation problems here.

This service is aimed at, and will mainly be of use to, customers that have at least a reasonable grasp of trading and have their own strategies that they like to follow. I wouldn’t really recommend this to new traders or those that would not have the time to trade during real time football matches.

I have seen some remarkably good advice and trading targets being given out but it’s impossible for me to accurately give any real time profit loss figures as everybody will be different dependent on how they have played the trade themselves. It’s best that I give you an example from yesterday:

EVERTON V’S READING

First of all a few decent Stats;

Nine of Reading’s goals this season have come from substitutes, a league-high.

  • Reading have won eight points thanks to goals scored after the 80th minute this season. Only league leaders Manchester United (9) have won more.
  • Tottenham Hotspur (8) are the only side to drop more points thanks to goals conceded after the 80th minute than Everton (7).

Now I don’t yet KNOW which Players are sitting on the bench but this is what I suggest you do – As soon as a READING PLAYER comes on from the bench BACK HIM TO SCORE THE LAST GOAL. You’re certain of getting a Price of 8.00 plus and it’s well worth taking the risk given the information above.

Score-wise the Form from the EVERTON H2H Results are contradictory to the current Form Results. The three previous Meetings were 0-1,1-0,1-1 but current Form suggests that this should be 1-2,2-1,3-1

You may also need to Back 2-2 In-Running should EITHER SIDE be 1-2,2-1 inside of the Second Half of the game. 0-1 is also worth a small Back due to a possible ‘Bounce’ Result coming in and of course, the Price!!

BACK 0-1,1-2,2-1,3-1 @ 30.00, 28.00,9.20,13.00 – Have an extra Half a Point on the 2-1,3-1 Results. You could also include 2-2 @ 22.00 or consider Backing at a lower Price In-Running.

 

As you can see, this was a particularly good game for him. He got the Correct Score and there’s the advice to Back a Reading Sub to be Last Goalscorer. But as you can also see, these lots of different ways you could go about trading all this advice during the game. That’s why it’s impossible for me to give you a profit/loss you can expect from the service and also why I say it’s for traders that are happy that they understand trading and are just looking for decent targets to trade on.

Obviously, he doesn’t get it right every time. This was the advice for Chelsea v W Brom

BACK 2-0 HT @ 8.00

BACK 2-0,2-1,2-2,3-1 @ 9.20,9.40,21.00,12.50

BACK F.LAMPARD TO SCORE THE FIRST GOAL @ 7.80

BACK S.LONG TO SCORE AT ANYTIME @ 5.60

AND/OR BACK F/LAMPARD 1-2,2-1 @ 55.00,170.00 FOR THE SCORECAST (BETFAIR BEST PRICE)

AND/OR S.LONG 1-2,2-1 @ 150.00,155.00 (WILLIAM HILL BEST PRICE)

And simply TRADE them BOTH. You could even split your Stakes in this one and go FIRST AND LAST with those Scores to possibly score a ‘Double’ Result. The best of luck with this one!!

That didn’t go so well but again you can see the many different ways you could use the information given and that there would be possibilities for cutting down the potential loss during the game if you felt it was going wrong.

Doom also gives out horses to trade as the day progresses. Again, this would be for traders with experience. He gives out the name of the horse, the price available on Betfair (accurately) and often says if he’s going to do Win Only or Win & Place. It is then up to the individual trader how he/she plays it. You could favour Dobbing, and look to trade out at half the price, or lay it off in stages hoping it goes as low as possible so you can lay larger amounts at the lowest price possible. It really is your call. There have been some very decent priced winners and some very big priced horses have traded in running at prices low enough to give you ample trading profit. I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets on at Cheltenham!

The Live Chat ticker part is very useful and it’s both fun and informative to swap notes with other members. It is also extremely fast and furious trading with the horses. But all that I have seen has been on an upward trajectory, of course there will be losing days when things go wrong and there’s no sensible way to cut the loss without taking daft risks.

Whilst in the trading room yesterday an existing member identified himself as a reader of this site and he said he was extremely happy with his experience during the pre launch trial and had signed up for membership. That’s a good sign as he’d obviously been making money enough to want to pay to continue his membership.

I would usually be a little wary of recommending a service that gives no advice regarding Bank/Staking or exact instructions that every member can follow, regardless of ability, to all achieve roughly the same level of profit or loss but it is made clear that the service is aimed at a certain kind of customer and having seen for myself what he’s capable of achieving I am quite keen on it.

I’m in a bit of a dilemma here as to how to categorise this. There is very little point in me doing our usual type of running blog test as it is so entirely dependent on the individual. With exactly the same advised bets, one person could make a mess of it and lose all stakes and another could move and hedge their position and clean up. I am also aware that we only have a couple of months of the season left for the major European leagues and we have the Cheltenham Festival upon us. So this is probably going to be the best time to be a member.

On the other hand we have the fact that it’s a new service with little history to go on and the factors mentioned above about it being very much in the individual’s own hands how he/she manages their bank/stakes/trades.

So what I have decided to do is to just say how I would proceed if my current membership had expired today. Having seen the last 60 days pre launch testing and all the messages posted by real people trying it out, having enjoyed using the Live Chat and seeing how people help each other out and chat about the sport and given how many trades have been extremely successful and profitable, I would now be prepared to pay up and join for the next month with my own money. Another distinct positive is that I think it’s extraordinary good value for money as monthly subs are Eur 36, which is roughly £30.

I’m going to file it under APPROVED as I really am quite keen on it, obviously if things take a major downturn performance wise I will have no hesitation in changing that but for the reasons given above I do think it worthwhile joining for at least one month just to see if it suits you as well as it has me.

Just bear in mind that it really is only for those with a grasp of how trading works (don’t need to be an expert though) and you do have to have time available to trade the games as the are played live. Keep stakes very low, or even paper trade while you get to grips with it.
