Choose A Review In The Dropdown Box, And Hit Read Live Review!

A little over six weeks ago a new lay system hit the markets. It was titled “Steady Profits” and, as part of my duties for LTO, I got hold of a copy for review. It was delivered to my mailbox as an e-book, in other words a pdf file, and consisted of about 28 pages. As ever, and I loathe this, the first 10 pages were full of B.S!! I took one look at the “rules” and had a good mind to file it along with the hundreds of others that are destined for that mythical drawer.

However, I asked one of our members to test it for me. Unfortunately, I lost the results when my computer malfunctioned. Anyway, the point of this is to let you know that in the six weeks, the system has gone from whatever pounds it cost originally to be FREE!

However, please don’t get carried away and think you will be getting a free bargain – this system is atrocious and has to be treated with caution, in fact, please don’t follow it! The strike rate will be very good, I admit that, but ONE winner and you could be in BIG trouble.

Spend a few quid on one of our recommended systems -

False Favourites

Betfair Miracle

Dodgy Favourites

or one of the two recommended subscription based…

Pin Point Lays

Sports Professor

Until next time, and remember If in doubt, leave it out!!!!

Well done to those that followed me in on the HT/FT system that I outlined on Friday. It came good at the weekend with 6/10 selections being draws at half-time and 5/6 giving a positive result come full-time. For those who followed the cautious route, like myself, it meant a 3.5 point profit, those with a more adventurous approach, taking the away win gained a 9 point profit and for any who went both ways, it led to a 12.5 points profit, an excellent result all round.

If you want to find the system I use, scroll down the page until you come to my posting last Friday. Or you can now find it in the Football Systems section.

On the Friday Footy tips front, the lay did us proud but Blackpool let us down at home to Leicester but no damage done to the bank, which is still well in profit since we started this spot. It is showing a very healthy 20% ROI.

Yesterday saw the draw for Euro 2012, to be held jointly in Poland and Ukraine. After the stressful week he has had, I think Fabio will have been pleased to get over to Warsaw and he must have liked the group he got, with only the Swiss as a possible fly in the ointment. The Republic of Ireland and Trappatoni should also be pleased, although they do have to face 4 Eastern European opponents. Their main opposition comes in the form of Russia and Slovakia but they must feel they have a realistic chance of making the finals.

Unfortunately the same can’t be said for Scotland and Northern Ireland, with main rivals Spain and Italy, European and World champions repectively and also fearsome opposition in the Czech Republic and Serbia as well. The qualifiers take place from September 2010 to October 2011. Good luck to all the Home Nations, I think some of them are going to need it.

Psychic SoccerWe have been following Psychic Soccer Profits over the last 3 weeks during its’ trial period and I have to report that this past week it has taken an horrendous battering. Co-incidentally about a week ago it opened up a chat room to discuss the system and a very entertaining week it has been in there, I can tell you. PSP is an in-play football lay service and in the chat room this week we have been following Scott, the author of PSP, as he has grappled with setback after setback, all with good humour it has to be said.

People in the chat room have been giving vent to their frustrations with the system, with some good suggestions that are being taken on board by Scott. To that end, it is unlikely that Psychic Soccer Profits will be launched this Friday as had been expected but further due deliberation will be made before it sees the light of day in an official capacity. Please go and take a look at PSP and you can still join the free trial, also you may wish to join in with the chat room, which becomes quite addictive and you also get plenty of tips from the people on there, so it is well worth a visit, very entertaining.

There are some very “sharp minds” on Betting Exchanges such as Betfair and Betdaq, and even the old enemy the bookmakers make extensive use of the Exchanges to lay off liabilities, and in many cases it is the Exchanges which now drive the betting markets, and in particular on UK Horse Racing. With this in mind we need to constantly be looking for new angles and strategies, and one excellent Free Resource that I use on a regular basis to carry out this research is on the Adrian Massey website.

The site contains a wealth of statistics for horse racing in the UK in addition to unique ratings which are updated on a daily basis. Everything from how often favourites win races, which jockeys and trainers are in form and what the draw advantage is if any at various UK race courses. The statistics are derived from the results of over 100,000 UK horse races dating back to 1991, The site owner Adrian Massey has run in the London marathon for the last 8 years and has raised more than £150,000 for charity. A mark of respect for his site is highlighted by the fact that much of the money raised was donated by users of the site.

There are so many methods and ideas that can be checked out by research tools that the site provides by simply ticking or un-ticking the very clear and simple to use parameters / categories. Your chosen parameters then provide you with a results section based on the factors that you are looking to research.

One simple idea that I had a look at recently, was how does the weight a horse is set to carry in a Handicap Chase affect the result. In theory if the Official Handicapper is doing his job correctly the different weights allotted are supposed to give each runner an equal opportunity to win. Well interestingly the higher the weight carried compared to the average weight in the race the more runners that they would beat, BUT also the more money you would lose buy backing them. The better horses based on past form are asked to carry the most weight but also they tend to go off at shorter prices because of the strength of this form is there for everyone to see. The lower weighted horses are both younger and less experienced, or are possibly older and on the decline, and the handicapper is relenting by reducing its rating.

Either way and without any further checks you can actually make a profit by simply backing “horses running in Handicap Chases that are carrying 14lb (or more) LESS weight than the average for the race”.At Industry SP the profit is actually +16% but would be considerably more if using the Betfair SP facility.
