The Golden Key
End of trial review of “The Golden Key”.
This review is going to be awkward to write for 2 reasons: I don’t want to give the game away, and I blow hot and cold on this system.
Firstly the system has made a profit; £247.00 in 31 days using £10 stakes, almost doubling the bank. This is rather good. This is an average of 0.80 points per day. This has also been achieved through a period of awful weather and more than a few abandonments.
The author suggests not taking bets above 15, my data verifies this as the bulk of the profits came in the range 5.5 to 15.0. However, removing selections whose odds are below 5.5 decreases the overall profit, so it is not recommended that you adjust the filter beyond the author’s recommendation.

The author’s claim of little risk has been born out. There is a nightmare scenario that could seriously damage your bank, but this should be a very rare event (if ever) which can, I feel, be safely discounted. Unfortunately I cannot expand on this scenario without giving away the system.
This is something you could do in your lunch break, but not before (I mostly got my selections 11:30 to noon). Once I got in to the swing of things, a racecard took about 5 minutes to analyse; so a normal lunchtime analysis would be in the region of 15 to 20 minutes. However, if only betting during a lunch you would need to setup a “bot” also, and this will extend the 15-20 minute span. You will need to put some time aside for evening races.
E-mail support appears to be good from the author.
I do, however, have some concerns/niggles.
If you have a “bot”, you need to set your stake to cover subscriptions. If you don’t have a bot, you need to be at your computer for every race where you have a selection. You cannot afford to miss a race as this will punch a hole in your profits.
You need several pots of cash, and one quite large one. You need to manage these separate pots, which is a hidden overhead of time, but this can be done in your leisure in the evening.
There is a limit as to how big your stake size can be. Don’t look at the point size and think “I’ll play this for £100 per point”, I don’t think it will work at that level. Realistically, I think the maximum would be in the region of £25 per point. Even then, you risk having to use LOTS of different credit/debit cards. So, this system is only capable of generating a smallish, if regular, income.
I don’t like selecting a winner which then looses you money! This is more a personal psychological objection because if you keep an eye on the big picture, the system made a profit!
I don’t like that this system throws up different selections depending on the time off day you do the analysis. Fair enough, over time, this evens out, but I can’t help feeling that I have missed some of the very opportunities the system is supposed to identify. Another problem with my psychology!
Do the negatives outweigh the positives? I could easily mark this as a thumbs up as the system doubled the bank in a month. However I ask myself one question, “will I add this to my portfolio?”. Firstly, not without a bot (for example GreyHorseBot). Secondly, the several pots of cash and pot management is enough of a negative for me not to proceed with this system.
In the end then, this is neutral for me, but, if you are happy with the negatives outlined above, and none of them are that major, then this would be a positive for you but only as part of a portfolio. With that said, I’m happy to approve this.
