One Pound Punt

Posted on January 22, 2015 by Dave French • 2 Comments

I read an email last night about something called One Pound Punt.

I don't know anything about this service or the person behind it but if it lives up to the expectations set then it will be the ideal product for a lot of people.

The headline claim is…

What if I told you, you could place £1 bets on the horses & pull in

£284.86 every month, risking just £31? [That’s £1 per day]

The writer one Harold Schmitt claims he made £3,418 from £1 bets last year!

It’s not the most a tipster will have made last year (cash wise), but we’re not talking silly £100 bets or even £50 or £25 stakes.

I didn’t even bet at £10 per point. I generated this income from simple £1 bets.

I started last January and added £100 to my Betfair account, I never had to add any more money to my account as the winners I hit increased my bank, week after week.

I increased my £100 bank by over 3400%

For a lot of punters £1 bets are a comfortable level to operate at.

To be honest I'm a little sceptical about the claims made, but I'm going to sign up for it and hopefully be pleasantly surprised.

Favourite Average Price Rise

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Dave French • 0 Comments

Today we have our regular weekly column from Malcolm Pett of GreyHorseBot.com
======

In the last couple or articles we have been looking at the results from an interactive test we have been doing over at the Grey Horse Bot website.

Part of this test is also to discover if it is better to be on all the selections or to stop at the first winner of the day.

I picked 220 or above as my rating figure (see later why this may still be to low).

It hasn’t been the best of weeks for this number and it was only because of a 6.3 winner a couple of days ago that we are still showing any profit for this month.

This is a bit of a shame as it was a lot more positive last week…

…But that’s racing for you.

I am a statistical type of person so I don’t like to blame the weather.

And I do know this…

Favourites average prices tend to drop slightly in the winter.

I am not sure why but it could be that there are less races so they are more heavily backed than they normally would be.

But a quick check on the averages over the last couple of years shows that from the height in the summer of 3.5 (sometimes higher) in the winter this can drop to around 3.1.

And although the strike rate of this particular system has dropped off slightly…

…The amount of favourites winning is slightly better than the norm this month.

Which again, strangely, seems to happen around the winter months.

But back to the system test…

I am still not convinced that SAW is the best way to go but it is going to take more testing to actually make that decision.

If you crank the ratings figure up to 240 then things look a little better for all selections and it may be my choice of 220 was still a little low.

This will probably be my last report about this test for a few weeks.

Unless something amazing happens!

You can see the results from this test and get the daily selections here.

Thanks

Free National Hunt To Follow List

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Dave French • 2 Comments

Today we have a freebie for you that will hopefully make some serious profit this National Hunt season.

It comes from a guy called Ben Aitken that you have probably heard of.

Ben takes an alternative approach to winner finding, the main difference is that he uses the Dosage Index to analyse National Hunt runners.

Here's what Wikipedia say about the Dosage Index…

The Dosage Index is a mathematical figure used by breeders of Thoroughbred race horses, and sometimes by bettors handicapping horse races, to quantify a horse's ability, or inability, to negotiate the various distances at which horse races are run. It is calculated based on an analysis of the horse's pedigree.

The Dosage Index is commonly used to assess horses running on the flat, but Ben is the only person I know that also uses it for National Hunt racing.

The upshot of that alternative approach is that he finds a lot of big priced winners.

But back to the freebies.

Ben is currently giving away a number of FREE racing guides, the most interesting for me is his ‘20 To Follow’ for the season.

Now this isn’t your standard list. Why? Because Ben has deliberately left out any Mullins, Henderson and Nicholls horses! Indeed there are no Hobbs, McCain or King horses on the list either!

That instantly makes the list of interest for me.

What’s more he has also managed to secure some exclusive trainer quotes for a couple of the horses on his list, adding even more value to this excellent FREE guide.

Man Makes Millions from Arbitrage

Posted on September 23, 2014 by Dave French • 0 Comments

I've just read a very interesting article about a UK company that helps big stakes players bet on football.

Basically the article tells us about a company in the UK which was established by a guy from Hong Kong to help UK punters bet into the huge Asian bookmakers.

The piece is a few months old now, having been published on the Bloomberg site in June and was brought to my attention by a fellow member of the Profit Maximiser service.

I don't know if this company is effected by the recent changes in UK law which has seen the Asian books close all UK accounts, but it's an interesting insight into the world of the big player anyway.

Frank Chan who founded the company basically discovered arbitrage betting and turned it into a service and then went large.

Here's a quote from the article about the scale of Asian bookmaking…

To put that in perspective, the Asian markets handle more money in several days for soccer alone than does the entire sports-book industry of Nevada in a year for all the sports in which it deals.

And the realisation that inspired Chan to start his company, Samvo Entertainment Ltd.

The odds on English Premier League soccer matches differed considerably from bookmaker to bookmaker. Like the spread between the prices of a dual-listed company’s shares trading in London and New York, the discrepancies represented market inefficiencies and, hence, arbitrage opportunities.

What started as some personal arbitaging grew into a service for taking bets from high rollers, people who want to bet in the hundreds of thousands, Samvo make their money from the arbitrage.

EG they take the bet at the UK price and lay it off at the Asian price, the customer gets to stake way more than they could with a UK bookmaker and Samvo get the profit from the difference in prices.

The article also makes some interesting references to the size of Ladbrokes, William Hill and the Betfair markets compared to what is available with the Asian bookmakers.

Well worth a 5 minute read…
