Betfair ATM – final review
Let’s state up front this has been a brilliant system. £300 plus profit for the month is not to be sniffed at. Also looking at the Strike Rate, 75% with average odds of 1.5 means you have to make money long term.
This is a really simple system from the Guy who brought us “Place Lay Formula”, so the system has some pedigree before I started. To operate the system you have to watch each race in-running, but for the 9-to-5ers this system can be run once you get home or for the evening races.
Probably the best way to run this to set a daily target and stop once you have made this. You could stake £25 and stop after you made £40 to £50 each day. This certainly appears doable, and that sort of return is almost a living!
Just one word of caution, the system trod water for the final week. This is probably because horse racing systems do seem to struggle for a period around the switch from Jumps to Flat (or Flat to Jumps in September). I am confident that the system will return to being very profitable in a few weeks. I am suspending horse betting until Cheltenham now to allow for the “silly season” to end.
I will be using this regularly after that, and am happy to give this a really big thumbs-up.
One final thing. I have used flat stakes as suggested in the manual. However, I have run a stake plan which started at £100 bank; the stakes for each day are set at 10% of the bank, so for day 1 this is £10 stakes. I stopped after the bank increased 20%, this is very aggressive, 10% increase would be safer. However, using this stake plan the bank went from £100 to £1,025!!! £900+ profit in 1 month. I think you can see why this system has me a tad excited. I just hope that the system’s performance can be replicated during the summer.

We are in the Spring Silly Season, for the changeover from Jumps to Flat. Lots of bumpers and stuff, and the results from the last week tend to be 1 loss and 1 win cycle. Therefore this seems like a good point to stop the trial.

The level stakes bank took a heavy hit from a large priced winner today, but the staking plan reduces the stake, and therefore the liability, keeping things in the black today.

Tradesharktennis is a service that provides strategies and support for trading the in-play tennis markets on Betfair. Members who join the service are provided with five trading strategies and access to a forum, a chatroom, extensive videos of the strategies being applied and e-mail support from Tradeshark. There is also a Skype service whereby you can view Tradeshark trade a match live (there is an extra charge for this service).
Tradesharktennis is not so much a system but more an education in how to trade the tennis markets. Tradeshark is a trader himself and he set up the website as he feels that it would have been extremely useful when he started out as a tennis trader. There is a wealth of tennis related information on the website although as Tradeshark points out, he is a trader rather than a website deisgner.
My first impressions on reading through the strategies and the forum are very good. The strategies clearly set out the types of matches to trade, the entry and exit points and the expected price movements. Every day Tradeshark posts details of the matches that are most suitable for the strategies. He also gives his view as to who is most likely to win the match and why.
Over the next few weeks I will be trading the strategies. I will start off with the beginner’s strategy and then move onto the more advanced strategies. I will use a bank of £200 and will trade in lots of £10.
In order to trade the strategies, members require access to trading software with hedging functionality. Tradeshark provides advice on which software to use but members should familiarise thenselves with the software before trading live. Another point to note is that all the strategies require traders to monitor the match in-running either on TV or online. As tennis matches take place all over the globe and can last up to five hours, this can be quite demanding on the trader’s time.
There is not much tennis on this week so I will provide an update next week.

I am trying out the new AJ Tips backing service, running a 30pt bank, though Andrew, who runs the service, recommends a 50 pt bank for extreme caution. In my opinion, the strike rate is good enough to be safe with 30.
There are usually at least three selections to back per day and include occasional doubles; they are normally favourites, with odds around evens and so far, after four days, we are achieving a very good strike rate from 14 bets. The bets arrive each day around 11am and there is a follow-up mail with the day’s results. Any queries are dealt with very promptly, with instant mail responses. Early days yet, of course, but first impressions are good.
Betting P/L +2.25 pts
Strike Rate 64.2%
Average Odds 2.01
ROI 14.99%
