Laying Odds on Favourites Final Review

[Rating3.5]

Hi Blogger’s

I have been reviewing this system for 84 days and it has made only 5.31 points to Level Stakes and 8.05 points to 5% Bank Liability so why am I passing it? If you go to the website it is performing exactly as it says it would. Let’s take a look at what the website says this is from the Blog Section:

“The “magic” of the Laying Odds on Favourites system really starts to happen once the bank begins to compound.”

“Unfortunately, this takes time, and it will be at least 3 or 4 more months before we start to notice a significant difference”

So let us look at my figures at the 56 day stage of the review:

Level Stakes = 1049.50 (1000 Starting Bank) = + 0.99 points

5% Bank Liability = 1033.52 (1000 Starting Bank) = + 0.67 points

Well that’s pretty unimpressive stuff now let us see the final figures Day 84:

Level Stakes = 1265.50 (1000 Starting Bank) = + 5.31 points

5% Bank Liability = 1402.64 (1000 Starting Bank) = + 8.05 points

Now that is better and that was after 12 weeks so we were approaching the 3 months stage when as per the comment on LOF site we should start to see a significant difference. Moving forwards to another comment posted on the site:

“Slow though it is, LOF is incredibly low risk, and we are making gradual profits”.

So one way to judge low risk would be to see what strike rate it has got, longest losing runs, how many points lost to counter the longest winning run and points gained.

Selections 60/ 31 Winning Lays = 51.68% Strike Rate

Longest Losing Run 3 (3 times) points lost = 2.06, 2.97 and 2.79.

Longest Winning Run 4 (2 times) points won = 3.80 (twice)

The points above are to Level Stakes but once again illustrates that the comments on the website are correct, losing runs are small, winning runs are small because you are dealing with Laying odds on favourites it is to be expected, the average odds of All Selections was 1.84, for Losing Lays it was 1.83 and for Winning Lays it was 1.84. The overall Strike rate is slightly down at 51.68% from the average of 53%, the number of selections per month is also down at 20 per month when the norm is 25 to 30.

This service or system runs on a Bot you are not given the system rules they are built into the LOF Bot, itself. A couple of times in the first month  I experienced problems with the LOF Bot but since then everything has been running fine. Now cost wise this is not cheap if you subscribe on a repeat monthly it will cost you 67 pounds per month, the cheapest way is to take out a yearly subscription the cost 497 pounds working to 41.40 pounds per month.

LOF is most certainly not for everyone it really is a long term project at least to 9 to 12 months, the recommendation of the author/operator is you have a bank risk of whatever amount you can afford and forget about it for 12 months. To my mind to make it profitable you would need to have a bank of at least 1000 pounds. Another thing a buyer of LOF would require is an abundance of patience and discipline; I had a run of 10 days without a selection, also you will get losing days, weeks etc even a month but I agree with Matt that this will be profitable long term.

In Summary

I have only given LOF a rating of 3 and a half stars because it is fairly expensive, does require a lot of patience and discipline and has a limited appeal. I have passed it because it makes a profit and does actually do what it says on the tin. If you are a serious backer and have a good size bank and you are looking for a long term venture then this could be for you. Just to add that to really have seen the true nature of LOF we would have had to run a review for 9 to 12 months which would have been impractical, if I had of put LOF into neutral and started a fresh in a couple of months it is near certain it would perform in exactly the manner it did here, it clearly takes time for the compounding to work.

Football Betting Master Final Review Summary

Rating:

Hi Bloggers,

I have been watching over this product for the last 2 months

The review has now come to an end and again with much promise but not too much on the delivery side.

The service involved betting on the under/over 2.5 goals market.

We finished the trial on figures of + 1167.50 pts from a starting bank of 1000 pts

so an overall flat stake profit of + 167.50 pts over the 8 weeks.

As our average stake was around 50 pts, that basically breaks down

to + 3.35 pts at level stakes.

Again not a complete failure but hardly reason for booking those flights

to Acapulco either!

This again may need a longer study to fully realise any potential but, in agreement

with James, we feel there is little point in extending the review past the 56 day

mark.

So I shall place this service into the Neutral section pending possible

further enquiries.

The Combination System Final Review Summary

Rating:

Alas we come to the end of another system review which again promised much but

failed to deliver any real profit to speak of over the last 8 weeks.

In fact our finishing total comes to + 70.35 pts, so we have managed to glean

a tiny profit of + 0.35 pts over the 2 months.

The author does state however that the system should be used for the whole of

the flat season, so I will personally be keeping an eye on what happens for the

next few months and of course keep you bloggers updated if any major profits

start appearing regularly!

The system itself was very easy to use and selections could be found quickly,

a few minutes, after perusing the Racing Post. There may also have been a case

made for having some E/W bets instead of the straight win as a few of the

selections did place at some big prices. However the system is simply based

on straight win bets and these have failed to materialise successfully over the period.

Altogether we had 41 selections with just  11 wins.

So not a total failure overall but not exactly blowing us all away in profit either

at the end of the day.

For that reason I shall be putting the system in the Neutral section pending

further investigation as the season continues.

Pin Point Lays Final Review

Neutral Pending Further Review

Rating:

Hi Blogger’s

I have been reviewing the Pin Point Lays since April 18^thand all three services have suffered from non runners and outside of odds range selections. On Day 56 I decided to extend the trial as the service operator told me he was trying to adapt his methods to bring about an increase in the number of selections this would affect Low Lays and Bankers, not the Bullet Lays. Anyway lets see what happened below I have given the results for all three services and split these results into three sections for Overall, Days 1 to 56 and finally Days 57 to 84.

Well certainly things picked up in the numbers game all three services making profits in the last 4 weeks of the review and an increase in the number of selections for Low Lays which is the flagship of the group, and to a lesser extent the Banker Lays. Bullet Lays was slightly down in selections but certainly the strike rate was up. So it would seem that the service operator’s changes had an effect on the results. Now of course 4 weeks is not long enough for me to make a decision but I do feel that with the improvement in the last third the service deserves another chance therefore I am placing this in the neutral.

Just to conclude as can be seen to Level Stakes Low Lays made a loss of 5.56 points

, Banker Lays made a profit of 4.82 points and Bullet Lays almost broke even this was for the whole review.  In the last 4 weeks from a total of just 30 selections for all 3 services a profit of 14.72 points was made which is quite respectable for laying, if this service had performed like this from the start it would have been in a different category.

Top Racing Bets Final Review

Hi Constables,

let me summarize the results of this 56-day trial:

Part 1: ‘Winning Post’ Tips

P/L cumulative:-13,09 Bank:86,91

Part 2: ‘In-Form Racing’ Tips

P/L cumulative:-59,99 Bank:40,01

Part 3: ‘Profitable Lays’ Tips

P/L cumulative:-3,13 Bank:96,87

The result is very clear:  A selection service that is not able to make a profit within 56 days is not worth our hard earned money.

So I think I dont have to say anymore about this.

5 Stars and Highly Recommended!

Hi Bloggers

I have been testing this method since the 14^th April and I can certainly say that it was a complete new approach for me, but anyway I took the bull by the horns and gave it a shot and the results have been very impressive to say the least. Over the 84 days working to 105% and below the method has made a profit of 1623.67 points with a total maximum risk of 1440.41 points, that is a very high plus 112.72% Return on Maximum Risk.

Before any sharp eyed people notice yes that is an additional 40 points on the final total we had on Day 84 this was due to a couple of odd mistakes as regards Non Runners in May for which I apologize for, the actual review figures will be amended shortly.

Anyway I have given a breakdown of the figures for working up to 105 below:

Pretty impressive stuff 2 days out of 3 were winning ones, our maximum loss on any given Day was only 26.41 points yet our maximum return was 117.31 points. Now it must be said that using the 105 criteria things can become hectic on some days, but the average is only around 6 races per day and once you get used to the method it can be operated quickly and easily. Now I can appreciate it might be difficult for those working during the week so, how did ABTB fair just on the weekends? lets have a look:

So the figures look even better with ABTB making an average of over 19 points per day, a better strike rate all round and a higher percentage return. So you folks who can only use the method at weekends will certainly not lose out. Now I would have Passed and Recommended ABTB just on the above performance, but things are about to get even better a lot of you blogger’s have been asking which is the best strategy, working to 105% book or 103% book, here is your answer!

So you are probably thinking is Sgt Dave crazy, not yet, okay we have lost 574.55 points profit from working to 105 but we have now lost over 1053.66 points from our Maximum Risk look at the Return Percentage that is awesome. It also makes the ABTB

Easier to manage, you only get an average of 3 to 4 qualifying races a day. Once you get up and running it will not take long to place your bets and less money management because you are dealing with less races.

The most I ever had on one day was 10 races the next was 8. If you were operating a Lay system you normally have to start with a Bank of 100 points well to Betfair minimum stake of 2 pounds so you would need a Betting Bank of 200 pounds. For that kind of money you could use 10 pence per point and start using ABTB. So even for such modest stakes you would have made 104.91 pounds in 12 weeks, and by compounding you can gradually increase the value of your point.

Finally for those folks who can only operate the method at weekends what would your results be for 103% and below:

Once again if you have only time available at weekends you are still going to make a good profit.

So lets look at the disadvantages:

The bookmakers are going to ban you because you are winning, well this has been discussed many times on the blog but just to condense what was said:

1. Do not go crazy with your staking if you have sufficient capital 100 pounds per race is enough.
2. Round off your bets having strange odd amounts: i.e. 27.87 is a dead give away you are using a system round it off to 28.
3. Spread your bets evenly and try not to have multiples with the same bookmaker.
4. If a bookmaker account is making too much profit try to create a sure bet on betfair by laying low and backing high on the bookies account with the view to the back bet losing. You should do this with selections in any market where the price is ideally below 4.0 or 3/1 and we are aiming for the back bet in the bookies to lose so that the lay bet in betfair is successful. This way we can cash out our winnings in betfair and our bookies company is left feeling happy that your account is a losing one. This will not always be simple you could go on a fantastic run and end up tripling or even quadrupling your bookies account before you lose the bet. Try to research which bets are most likely to lose. Competitive large field horse races are ideal. As long as you look like a true gambler and always end up losing the bet which you will the bookmaker will love your custom…

Even if you do end up, after taking plenty of the bookmakers cash getting banned or a restricted account this method will give you ideas that can help you make money. Unfortunately I cannot disclose any details, but if you look at some of the comments in my ABTB review some blogger’s are using variations of the method already to make more profit.

Other comments “I don’t have time” Well as already has been proved it works just as well on Weekends as it does any other time, using 103% or below should reduce the time needed by around 50% as over half the selections have been removed and also gives better value. In betting if you want to succeed you have to put the time in, it’s no different to any other business.

It requires a lot of capital well yes if you want to stake 1 pound per point, but as I said earlier you could start doing 103% or less with around 200 pounds which is the minimal for most lay and back systems etc and you are going to make more profit using ABTB with minimal risk. Just start off slowly use compounding and you will be able to get your stakes to a reasonable level.

Yes like every other method or system you will have losing days but your risk is minimal, which is one of the good points with the method. An excellent return on risk is another and the fact that the method is unique can also be added to the list.

In conclusion it has been a really exciting product to review and I give it the maximum five stars due to its outstanding and regular profit making abilities, as I have said before no system or method is 100% perfect yes you have to put some work in and do some money management but this is a small price to pay for the profits. My only problem now is where I can find another product like this to review.

Follow The Fortunes – Review Summary

Rating:

Hello All,

Welcome to the long overdue final review of Follow The Fortunes…

Follow The Fortunes is brought to us by author Roger Purssord and is sold via Sportsworld Publishing.  The system is a combination of Back and Lay bets, the idea is to Back and Lay two different selections in each race.

During the trial I separated the system out into 3 for monitoring, they were:

Back Bets only

Lay Bets only

The System as a whole (Both Back & Lays bets)

The system produced a profit overall, but please do not get fooled by looking at the profit, here are the stats for each:

Backs

Average odds…..3.39

Strike Rate……..35.39%

R.O.I……………0.89%

Highest Odds……8.02 (averaged)

Lowest Odds……1.30 (averaged)

Total Stakes (risk) £647 @ £1 per bet.

PROFIT MADE – +5.13pts

So when we look at the above stats, we would actually get a better return by putting our money in a High St bank.  The strike rate is too low to make long term consistent profit.

Lays

Average odds…..6.18

Strike Rate……..86.82%

R.O.L…………..2.46%

Highest Odds……11.00 (averaged)

Lowest Odds……2.73 (averaged)

Total Stakes (risk) £3746.74 @ £1 per bet.

PROFIT MADE – +92.09pts

The Lays provided the vast majority of the overall profit, whilst it had many 100% days it also had 2 really bad days, the losses sustained on those days was -31.77pts and -17.62.  The average losing days were -5pts.

Full System

Strike Rate……..61.07%

Highest Odds……11.00 (averaged)

Lowest Odds……1.30 (averaged)

PROFIT MADE – +97.22pts

The system as it is intended to be followed made good profits overall, the Lays as previously stated providing the overwhelming majority of the profit.

How Much does it cost?

There are 3 options that you can invest in, each offering different levels, they are:

Option 1

£195, this buys you the manual explaining what the rules are and how you can use them to gain the desired selections.  This is the cheapest option, but is labour intensive and is not suited to people who do not have the time due to other commitments.

Option 2

This is the LIVE service and costs £50pm. For this you get access to a daily master race sheet via a members area, this contains the possible races for the day.  You are then asked to logon and watch each race 5 minutes before the off where the author Roger will guide you on each bet.  Again this is labour intensive as it requires you to be by your PC for a lot of the day.  It is suited however for people who want to learn more about why certain bets are made and others not.

After your third months subscription you will be sent a copy of the manual (Option 1) free of charge, which actually makes Option 2 a cheaper way to get Option 1!!

Sportworld are offering your 1^st month at half price at the moment- £25 1^st month only, cancel at any time.

This method is subject to Roger being at his PC and therefore continuous service is only guaranteed to be 25 days per month.

Option 3

A whopping £75pm!!  The payment is £50pm for the selections themselves and £25pm for the software.  This is the method I used.  There were a number of discrepancies with regards to Option 3 selections and Option 2 selections which were pointed out by subscribers to the system.  All I can say is that I know how the software works and Roger would have had to put the selections up for end customers to get them, so they were correct for Option 3, there were quite a few selections that were bet on twice again this can be caused by errors from the author in the daily programming of the bot itself, it’s easy to do, I have done it myself accidentally.

After your third months subscription you will be sent a copy of the manual (Option 1) free of charge.

Sportworld are offering your 1^st month at half price at the moment- £37.50 1^st month only, cancel at any time.

This method is the best one for people who do not want to, or do not want to spend all day at their PC.

Conclusion

I don’t feel at home in giving my full backing to this system; its return on investment is very low indeed, caused mainly by the poor performance of the Back bets.  I cannot say it hasn’t worked either +97pts in 3 months is a good return, which is refreshing for a Sportsworld product.  However the monthly fees of Option 1 (£50pm) and Option 3 (£75) are somewhat prohibitive to people with minimal betting banks.

I would recommend anyone following this system have a bank of at least £500 and use a 200pt level stake, so the net profit for each option would be as follows:

Option 1

£2.50 times 97.22 = £243.05 gross profit

Subscription fee = £195.

Nett profit after 3 months = £48.05

Option 2

£2.50 times 97.22 = £243.05 gross profit

Subscription fee = £150.

Nett profit after 3 months = £93.05

Option 3

£2.50 times 97.22 = £243.05 gross profit

Subscription fee = £225.

Nett profit after 3 months = £18.05

So as you can see from the above, you do not get much return for your total investment from using a safe staking method.  So I give this system a NEUTRAL review, it works, but higher strike rates and better performances from the Back selections are required.

Free Profits – Review Summary

Rating:

Hi Bloggers

Well, all good things must come to an end, so they say, but this system can hardly be described as good in the 56 days that we have reviewed it. Their website makes some solid claims that are all proofed to Racing Index, so I am sure that they are correct. We can only judge the system on the 56 days of our review and those are the hard facts that I shall deal with. The authors may just be unlucky  with the timing of our review, as their posted results are as follows:

You can see that their own numbers show the month before our review as the best they have ever had, but their own results also show May and June as making large losses, so it is not just me and my review! Their website is at http://irec.ommend.com/freeprofits/ if you want to read their detailed claims for yourself.

The authors have always been forthright and honest in their communications to me, so I am happy to believe that we reviewed it a bad time for them, as borne out by their own results above.

We started the review with a bank of £1,000 laying £20 a point on any of the selections that fell within the odds range from 3/1 to 13/2. It was always my contention that 13/2 was too high for laying, but the authors say that lowering it did not significantly alter their results. For a large part of this review I showed otherwise, but their data is done over a much longer period than mine, so I will take their word for it. If I were going to use it long term I would definitely not lay at such high odds and found that an upper odds limit of 5/1 produced much better results for me.

We commenced the review on 1 May and by 18 May we were £421.40 or 21.40 points in profit. Just over a week later, by 26 May, we were showing a loss of -£121.60 or -6.08 points. Things then went slowly downhill and by 15 June we had cleared out the whole £1,000 bank that we started with and had a negative bank of £94.00 – a loss of £1,094.00 or 54.70 points at level stakes!

We did not really recover from that low point and we finished up the 56 day review period on 25 June 2010 with a negative bank of £713.40 which gave us a loss for the period of £1,713.40 or 85.67 points at level stakes.

Regardless of the claims made by the authors, this system has to be regarded as a failure on the evidence of our review and their own website’s published results for the review period. I have suggested to James and to the authors that I would be happy to do another review in the future to see if it was just bad luck.

To add insult to injury for the authors, the 2 days following the review produced 14 losers and NO winners, giving a profit for the two days of £280 or 14 points at level stakes! I will continue to monitor the results for a while to come and see what happens out of interest.

Until the next system review!

Kind regards

The Racing Revelation – Final Review

Rating:

Hi Bloggers

We have come to the end of the review for Racing Revelation and I am dissappointed to say I feel this system has failed to deliver the promises made on their website.

Looking back at the results over this period it had far too many long losing runs and with many winners being short prices then it was always going to be a struggle to make a profit.

It did go through a good period and I thought maybe the bad run was due to the change from NH to Flat but over the last 2 weeks we have found many losers so for anyone to profit from this long term I think it would be very difficult considering the many long losing runs.

I therefore after careful consideration would have to say this system has failed.

Total Cumulative profit / loss : -2.6 points in 84 days…

Thanks for checking this out and hope I have kept you informed on how this system was going.
