It’s been
an excellent first half of the year for us. Well it has for those of you
who have read the Operations Manual, set up your betting banks correctly
and followed our information consistently!
Judging from some of the emails and phone calls I receive, it’s obvious
that a lot of new members start betting without any preparation
whatsoever. And if their first couple of bets fail to win, they don’t
have enough funds to continue.
The
profits achieved by our Horse Racing Best Bets & Sports
Information for the first six months of this year were 132.70
points. That's more than 5 times more profit than the top performing
tipster in the Racing-Index proofing table and works out at more than
£13,000.00 clear profit if betting to £100 stakes. Even modest £20
stakes produced a profit of more than £2,650.00. And, of course, anyone
following our advice in the 'Maximise Your Profits' section of the
manual won a good deal more!
However, it wasn’t all plain sailing. As our
results show, we actually
lost some 12 points in May. Losing runs are inevitable when betting for
profit. That’s why you must set up your betting banks with sufficient
funds.
Quite a few new members who joined the syndicate at the start of May
actually left in disgust towards the end of the month! They had lost
just 30% of their betting bank (if they had taken the time to read the
Operations Manual and set up their betting banks correctly that is) but
decided to give up! Anyway, their fickle approach meant they missed out
on the 45 points profit we made in June!
Another mistake a lot of new members make is they decide not to follow
our information in the way we recommend. For example, a lot of members
choose not to follow our sports information. That completely baffles me!
After all, £1,000 won on a sports bet can be spent in exactly the same
way as £1,000 won on a horse racing bet!
If you joined our service just for the fun and excitement then by all
means follow whatever information you choose and bet on it as you see
fit. However, if you joined in order to make your betting pay then you
must read the Operations Manual. And, more importantly, you must follow
the advice given in it.
The latest edition of the manual was sent to all members who have
provided us with an email address on 09 July. If you didn’t receive it
then please contact the office and I will send you a copy.
As you know, all our profits are calculated at starting price for horse
racing bets and at the bookmakers freely available prices for sports
bets. However, as explained in detail in the ‘Maximise Your Profits’
section of the manual, it is very easy these days to get much better
prices.
Simply opening an account with as many bookmakers as possible will go a
long way to ensuring you substantially increase your profits. And, of
course, the prices available on the betting exchanges are almost always
better than with the bookmakers. It still amazes me how many people will
take 8/1 with one bookmaker when 10/1 is freely available elsewhere!
Assuming a stake of £100, that’s a potential difference to your profits
of £200. And that’s from just one bet. Imagine the difference to your
profits after say, 20 or even 40 bets!
A lot of firms offer free bets to new customers so that’s another reason
to open accounts with as many as possible.

the current special offers available from a number of firms.
You should make setting up your bookmaker accounts a top priority. Also
make sure you open an account with the leading betting exchange,
Betfair. If you open a
new account with them and enter 4HLCGPEHU in the Refer and Earn
box on the sign up page you will qualify for a bonus of up to £680!
As recommended in the Operations Manual, you should set up a total of
three betting banks in order to follow our main categories of
information.
The first betting bank, which should account for 50% of your total
available betting funds, should be used to follow the Horse Racing Best
Bets & Sports Information. As already mentioned, that information
produced a minimum of 132.70 points profit in the first half of
this year.
The second betting bank should be used to follow our Weekend Football
Fixed Odds Forecasts. These produced excellent profits in the first
half of the year. For example, anyone betting £100 a week made a profit
of just over £2,000 by the end of the domestic season. 
The Australian season has proved difficult for us so far but, even after
deducting those losses, the profits for the first half of the year were
still almost £1,800.
The third betting bank should be used to follow our System Selections
which, assuming a starting bank of £1,000, sustained a loss of just over
£260 in the first half of this year.
The system bets have proved rather frustrating in recent months. Not
just because they are showing a slight loss but also because of the lack
of bets. There were just 21 bets advised in the first six months of the
year which is well below average. As a rule, we expect to have between
10-15 bets a month.
I have therefore decided to merge our new Football Singles with
the system bets. I will still send the information in separate emails
but, for betting purposes, you should use the one betting bank to follow
both the Horse Racing System Selections & the Football Singles.
As long standing members will know, the Football Singles were not
officially part of our service last season but we did pass on the
information with a suggested stake of 5% of your betting bank on each
selection.
The feedback we received was very positive and I had intended to add
this information to our service with a recommendation that you use a
separate betting bank. However, incorporating the Football Singles with
the System Selections makes more sense as, individually, bets are few
and far between.
In total there were just 30 Football Singles advised all season and just
14 in the first half of this year. However, despite the lack of bets,
with a total of 26 winners, the profits were certainly worthwhile. And
the overall strike rate of 87% was quite outstanding! The
14 bets given this year all won!
Merging the bets this year would have meant the losses from the horse
racing system selections would have been recovered and an overall profit
of almost £200 would have been achieved. Not a fortune, I know! But,
once the system bets get back to their usual winning ways, we could well
have an excellent, long term, low risk, money making strategy.
So, to clarify, all the horse racing system selections and the football
singles bets should be followed using one betting bank. Stakes should be
7% of the betting bank using the ‘ratchet’ method as detailed in the
Operations Manual.
The Football Singles will be sent in a separate email by 12 noon every
day and will also be available in box number 2 of our telephone
information line from the start of the new domestic season.
We have pinpointed several big priced winners with our Warm Horses
so far this year but, as explained in the Operations Manual, they do not
form part of our business plan. Therefore the results are not included
in our overall profit & loss figures.
Our warm horses are intended to be used by either our more experienced
members, who like to analyse all the information available before making
their own decision as to what to bet on, or by members who enjoy the
buzz of having several bets a day.
Well that’s all for now so until next time, enjoy your sport and stay
lucky!
