Caan Berry Cricket Trading Guide Review – Worth The Money?

For those new to the blog, Caan Berry is a well known Betfair Trader with a good reputation throughout the industry.

In this review we will be taking a look at the newly published cricket trading guide.

Being a complete beginner to cricket trading I also asked a friend of mine (Luke) who regularly trades cricket for his input.

Throughout this review I will include Luke’s thoughts about various aspects of the guide.

Who Wrote The Cricket Trading Guide?

This trading guide is not written by Caan Berry himself, it is written by a professional cricket trader that has known Caan for a number of years.

Throughout the guide he is referred to as Mr X.

The writer of the guide states that he wanted to keep his personal details secret as at times he still takes advantage of live time delays. Which is similar to the advantage live “courtsiders” have in tennis.

He would still like to maintain this edge in the market and believed that giving out his details could harm this.

Some results shared by Mr X

Luke’s Thoughts

I was kindly asked by Ryan, to read and review the cricket guide by Mr X. After agreeing I looked forward to it as cricket guides in the trading world are a premium.

Being a bit of a skeptic I thought surely there wouldn’t be too much given away.

After reading the guide I was pleasantly surprised.

I am a cricket trader and have been for over 8 years now, it isn’t my sole sport but one I have a natural interest in.

Is The Cricket Trading Guide Suitable For Beginners?

Being a complete beginner of trading cricket on Betfair I read through the guide without knowing a whole lot prior.

The guide is well written and easy to follow.

The guide starts with “10 Crucial Factors” you need to assess when your planning to trade a cricket game. This was a great introduction to cricket trading and really hammered in some of the fundamental factors that you need to consider before trading a game.

After that the guide goes on to more specific strategies.

One surprising element to me was how much information the author of this guide gave away about his own strategy.

Cricket Pitch

For example stating the apps he uses to check weather conditions.

He also reveals throughout the book his strategies on  how to exploit mug punter money, in the case of cricket this money comes mostly from India.

Another factor that really impressed me was the amount of data that the author gave away throughout this guide.

This really helps to hammer home why certain strategies would work.

Luke’s Thoughts

Mr X actually states that to use this guide to it’s fullest potential. You do need to understand the game of cricket.

That means knowing the rules within the game.

Is it an easy thing to do for someone with no knowledge of cricket?

No, it does take time and you will have to watch several matches in order to develop your understanding.

The author states that this isn’t like horse racing. It is a more complex market to understand however there is great opportunity within the cricket markets.

Cricket Trading Guide Tips

If you don’t have much experience with the sport of cricket it doesn’t make the guide completely pointless, in fact it does the opposite. When you begin to understand the game, this guide gives you some routes to really focus on.

Cricket is here to stay, the money is growing and edges are changing.

This guide is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to trade the cricket markets.

Any negatives to report?

Honestly this guide is extremely thorough. I felt that it covered every aspect of cricket trading that I could imagine and more.

The only real negative that I have is that it is electronic and you can’t print it out.

I understand that this is done to protect the product and the information contained within it.

However some people may prefer the option of printing it out so that they can read it away from a computer or phone screen.

Luke’s Thoughts

Are there aspects that don’t appeal?

Similar to you I think maybe the concept of it being electronic.

If you are wanting to implement this very useful tool then it’s most likely you want to run through segments whilst in the market.

This is where hard copy options really are a worth that little bit more. Being able to annotate if you are like me, or just reading through can be an advantage, but I am splitting hairs.

Caan Berry Cricket Trading Guide Review – Positives

The guide consists of 79 pages.

I stated earlier that it is well written and from the perspective of a cricket trading beginner it was jam packed with value. 

There were clear strategies outlined in the guide. Perhaps more importantly there is also a lot of data shared within the guide to back the strategies up.

When you purchase the guide you don’t just get access to a trading manual but also you get the same data the author of this guide has used to successfully make thousands from the cricket markets.

You get Indian Premier League Data which is categorised into:

  • Ground Statistical Data
  • IPL 2017 ,2018, 2019 Data
  • Overall Analysis
Ireland Profits
Make informed trading decisions with good data.

Along with Big Bash League Data which is categorised into:

  • Ground Statistical Data
  • BBL 2017, 2018, 2019 Data
  • Overall Analysis

The guide explains how to use this data effectively to make profitable cricket trades.

Luke’s Thoughts

What’s impressive about it?

I think first, he provides data sheets for previous tournaments namely IPL and BBL.

These are very liquid competitions that will hold relevance going forward. Secondly if you are a novice, you really do want to follow his advice on money management, and psychology.

Perhaps the biggest thing to take note of was his professionalism.

This is what really sets the profitable from the unprofitable. The amount of work he does up front through using social media, to highlighting key players and devising plans.

If you are looking to be a profitable cricket trader then imitation of Mr X would be a pretty solid start.

Betfair Cricket Trading Graphs

Perhaps you are an experienced trader with a particular niche strategy?

Mr X might give you some ideas on how to scale what you are doing or open your eyes to a new strategy.

If you have no idea where to start. Mr X shows you some quick ways to get to work, giving you enough scope to develop your own set of skills.

Overall it was encouraging to see Mr X write with such openness about the edges within cricket.

I believe when a trader or novice trader buys a guide, they want to be enlightened. To expect at the very least a few new aspects to take away with them.

I really believe that this cricket guide delivers over and beyond what most will expect.

Conclusion

After reading the guide I was very impressed with the overall depth of and quality which is provided throughout.

The added confirmation of this guides quality from an experienced cricket trader (Luke) gives me no hesitation in giving the cricket trading guide a recommendation.Caan Berry Cricket Trading Guide Price

The guide is very affordable at a price of £45.

There is additional support after purchasing the guide along with access to a community of like minded traders.

All in all Mr X (whoever that is) has produced an excellent trading education product which is in line with the other excellent products Caan Berry has produced.

The Cricket Trading Guide gets top marks from me.

WinnerOdds Review – Tennis Service That Has Made £40,487 Profit?

WinnerOdds Review – What is WinnerOdds?

WinnerOdds is a betting tool that highlights value bets within the tennis markets.

According to the official website.

WinnerOdds includes an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that calculates the real probabilities of all the tennis matches, compares them with the odds offered by the bookmakers and finds more than 5000 value bets per year in order to invest and earn money betting.

WinnerOdds Review

The official site shows some pretty impressive results since its inception in May 2016.

Despite tennis being a very popular sport that isn’t a large amount of tennis tipsters providing profitable services. Tennis Ratings and the Pyckio tennis tipster Nishi Kori are two other services that I have heard positive things about.

Lets take a look in this Winnerodds review whether this is also a service that can beat the tennis betting markets.

WinnerOdds Review – The Interface

The interface for WinnerOdds is extremely well polished, whilst also being easy to navigate and set up.

They have a well written tutorial which explains how to use the service. From setting up your bankroll to betting on the value selections that WinnerOdds highlights.

After you spend a few minutes getting familiar with the WinnerOdds software you can move on to selecting the bookmakers that you have available to use.

WinnerOdds Review

There are 22 monitored bookmakers. These are the bookmakers which the WinnerOdds software automatically scans and highlights when their algorithm finds value.

The other bookmakers are ones that you can manually search and add bets with if the software flags up a value bet.

WinnerOdds Value Tennis BetsWinnerOdds Review

Once you have set up your bankroll and selected your bookmakers its time to move onto the odds page. On this page you see potential bets that the WinnersOdds software has highlighted as being value.

WinnerOdds’s software shows you the tournament and time that the tennis match is being played. In green it highlights the player you should bet on. You will then see the algorithm’s estimation of the minimum value odds and if a bookmakers is matching that or offering higher it becomes a recommended bet.

The suggested staking is based on the Kelly criterion (read this article for a better understanding of the kelly criterion).

When you click highlighted selection, there is the option to adjust the amount staked and also adjust the odds if they have changed. WinnerOdds then tracks this bet for your and automatically updates your bankroll based on the result.

WinnerOdds Review

WinnerOdds Results

Lets take a look at the documented historical results of the WinnerOdds software.

WinnerOdds state that had you started with a £1000 bankroll at its inception.

Your total profits would now stand at £40,496 which is extremely impressive. This is over a total of 16295 bets using the suggested staking, averaging a yield of 8.81% per bet.

WinnerOdds ITF Results

One important factor to note is that the majority of these selections are not in the top flight tennis competitions ATP and WTA.

WinnerOdds seems to excel in finding value in the lesser know competitions such as the Challenger and ITF categories.

Lets take a look at the results for selections in the ATP.

WinnerOdds ATP Results

You can see in the ATP there has been 1542 selections since the WinnerOdds service started.

A profit of £732 has been made with a respectable yield of 2.42% per bet.

In the WTA the results are better.

A profit of £2095 has been made with a yield of 6.7%.

This highlights that WinnerOdds can find value in the higher liquid tennis matches. So for anyone that bets with exchanges this is an option.

WinnerOdds Review Results

Where the WinnerOdds algorithm has really made its money is in the Challenger and IFT competitions.

You can see from the above picture that after 5787 selections.

A profit of £17,871 has been made with a  yield of 9.19%.

WinnerOdds Review – Trial Results

I have had two months so far with the WinnerOdds software.

In between my normal betting and trading in my effort to make £1,000,000 from the sports betting markets.

I have been betting the value selections suggested by the software. So far I have logged in every morning around 09.00 and taken the suggested selections. This is a lower volume approach then is optimal.

WinnerOdds does send out selections to your email whenever the service finds new value in the tennis markets.

I found these very frequent and you will often get 20 to 30 selections a day. 

These are my results based on 134 selections so far.

WinnerOdds Results

Picks134
Units Bet242.46
Units Won43.05
Yield16.28%

From the image above you can see that my early results have been pretty pain free. The profit graph is moving steadily upwards and there have been no real downswings yet.

Although it should be noted it is early days and a bad run of results could completely undo all of the profit made so far.

I checked my own results to make sure that there was no discrepancy with the odds recorded on my personal log and results recorded in WinnerOdds historical results.

Everything was recorded correctly and gives me confidence that the reported results from WinnerOdds is accurate.

WinnerOdds Pricing

WinnerOdds Price

Currently the cheapest option for subscribing to WinnerOdds is to pay every 390 euros (£353) every 6 months. This works out at an average of 65 euros (£59) a months.

This isn’t cheap working out at around £700 a year.

However if you have the required bookmakers available and a bankroll of around £1000. Based on historical results it is very likely that even after taking out subscriptions costs you would be left with a healthy profit.

WinnerOdds Conclusion

Early indications are very promising for WinnerOdds. The historical results are very impressive, the software works well and suggested staking is based on sound betting principals.

To get the most out of WinnerOdds you will need to have the monitored bookmakers available to bet with. Given that the majority of selections are in markets that aren’t offered on the betting exchanges.

Overall I was very impressed with WinnerOdds and I am happy to give it a recommendation.

Banker Bets Value Picks Review 2017 – Is It Profitable?

Banker Bets Value Picks Review 2017

Banker Bets Value Picks is a service that comes out of the well regarded Banker Bets tipster service. Whereas the original Banker Bets service focuses on finding value at shorts odds in the football markets. Value Picks bucks that trend and looks for value among all odds ranges.

Banker Bets Value Picks Review

I have been following the Banker Bets Value Picks service since the 28th of July. Here are my results and impressions since I began tracking the service.

Results And Key Stats (Based On £1000 Bank)

Banker Bets Value Picks Review

Bets205
Total Staked£5,100
P/L£386.82
Return On Investment7.5%

In total there were 205 bets over a period of 4 months. A total of £5,100 was staked and a profit of £386.82 would have been made following these selections and staking advice.

These results are very solid and could be bettered if you consistently looked to get the best odds when selections are sent.

How does the service run?

Banker Bets Value Picks is run much like the original Banker Bets. You will receive daily emails from John Baker the man behind the service. The emails are usually sent early in the morning between 02.00 – 05.00. Which works well for a lot of people as they can bet the selections before starting work.

The service also provides staking advice based on a 40 point bank of £1000. With stakes ranging from 0.5 points to 2 points.

One of the big positives of the service is that they record results to the average odds available.

Banker Bets Value Picks Review

For example here is a selection sent from Value Picks. Which will be recorded at odds of 1.73 however was available as high as 1.78. This means that you can consistently better the results that this service is recording.

Banker Bets Value Picks Review

Looking at the overall results from Banker Bets Value Picks. You can see a very solid return on investment of nearly 8% and profit of £434.57. These results are to average odds. 

In my opinion from following this service. Realistically if you shopped around for better odds. You would most likely have achieved a return on investment of 9% or more and profits of around £500.

Banker Bets Value Picks Conclusion

Banker Bets Value Picks is a service that I really like and its results to date are very impressive. It’s a service that I am going to invest in and add to my 50k betting and trading challenge.

With any sports betting service it’s always going to be a question of can they make money long term?

So whilst Banker Bets Value Picks is still quite a new service it is run very professionally and I believe that long term it will be profitable.

This service gets a recommendation from me. I will continue to update this review as I begin to follow Banker Bets Value Picks with my own money.

Betting Tipster Reviews – Who Can You Trust?

Betting Tipster Reviews – Who Can You Trust?

When I was at university. I found myself one summer with a spare few thousand pounds. From a student grant that I was lucky enough to have.

My interest in sports betting was just beginning and I came across a betting review site.

This site recommend a service called the “sports betting professor.” It was a service that focused on American sports. Being fairly naive at the time I jumped in and followed the progressive staking system it advised. Lost a decent amount of money and wondered why it hadn’t worked.

I then tried another recommended system from the same review site.

Again I had the same results it lost a bunch of money and I realised I was out of my depth. Or possibly the review site wasn’t being as honest as they claimed.

Betting Tipster Reviews

In hindsight these betting services were terrible and had no edge at all. They were being recommended purely on the basis of affiliate commissions.

After this I started to study sports betting, sports trading and poker. Figuring out how to actually make money from gambling. What was really required, learning about proper bankroll management, variance and the importance of finding value. 

It took me probably a year or two later before I joined another service. I put a bit more research into it this time. On the recommendation of a couple of review sites I joined profit maximiser. Which ended up recouping the losses I had made in the previous years from shoddy services and allowed my betting bankroll to grow at a crazy rate.

So I have both been burnt by betting review sites and also seen the benefit when they are done properly.

Betting Tipster Review Sites – How Do They Work?

Lets look at how a legitimate review works.

  1. They approach the vendor of a product/service related to their website. Or the vendor approaches them.
  2. The site trials the product/service for a certain length of time.
  3. They write an honest review of the service. Give it a recommendation if it offers value or state that it isn’t very good and there are better alternatives.
  4. Receive commission on the sale of the product if a purchaser comes through their site.

That is basically how most legitimate review sites function. They try to build trust with their readers. In the likely hood that if they purchase something that offers value they are much more likely to buy something recommended by the site in the future.

This is the model I use to create revenue for this site. I am actively betting and trading on sports on a daily basis. So I do use a lot of trading and betting services.

If I see something that looks legitimate and offers value. I will often approach the seller to ask if I can write a review and put it on the site.

Also I put up betting reviews of the services I continue to use on a regular basis.

However not all review sites work this way.

Scam Review Sites

Not all sites use this model.

From my experience I have seen some review sites that are not legitimate. Some are created by the same person that is selling a service/product.

Lets say for example someone is selling a horse lay betting service. They create a fake review site and give this product an excellent review. Then leave multiple fake comments below all saying how great the service is and how much money they are all making. Creating review websites to present a false impression of the product they are trying to sell.

This does happen.

Unfortunately some of these scam sites are quite intricate. A level above the usual email from a Nigerian Prince. Who needs £1000 so he get back the £500,000 he left in his secret cave back in some imaginary Island. Which he’ll gladly split with you 50/50 if you assist him.

Betting Tipster Reviews

I would like to name this site and the products they are selling. Which I have done previously but due to the threat of legal action I removed it. Even though I don’t think they really had a case. Like most people I would rather not have to spend time going through a legal case.When there are other things I would much rather be doing.

What I can do however is list the betting review sites that I have used and find to be fairly honest in their assessment of sports betting tipsters and services.

Betting Review Sites I UseBetting Tipster Reviews

LAY BACK AND GET RICH

Laybackandgetrich is a betting and trading review site that has been around since 2011. This is a site that I have found to give a pretty honest assessment of tipsters and betting services. It was on the advice of this site that I joined the first service I made good money with

What I like about this site is they don’t block out negative comments left on services they are reviewing or may have recommended. The site has an active community in the comments section. Which allows good discussions about services. 

If I am ever looking at a tipster or betting service I will normally check this site for their opinion.

Honest Betting Reviews

HONEST BETTING REVIEWS

If you were looking to learn to build a site around a specific niche and get a good ranking. Honest betting reviews is a really good site to look at. This is a site that is designed really well and dominates the search ranking when it comes to betting reviews.

However the most important question is are they really honest?

From my experience with the services I have used and they have reviewed. It is a site that does a good job of assessing the profitability of a betting tipster or service. 

When they recommend a service they provide future updates on its performance. Which is a really good aspect as betting services can often go on good runs in a short period of time. So extended trial are always a good sign for of a decent review sites.

Secret Betting Club

Secret Betting Club

The Secret Betting Club is a bit different to most review sites. They don’t use an affiliate model from the tipsters or betting services they review. Instead they use a subscription service which means you have to pay to access their magazine and some aspects of their website.

Why would you pay?

You might wonder why you would pay for a review service when so many do it for free. Well the Secret Betting Club do the most thorough and useful betting reviews on the internet in my opinion. Where as some sites may leave out certain aspects of a service in order to get that affiliate commission. The Secret Betting Club will note every negative aspect of a service and give a much more unbiased overview of a service.

Perhaps the biggest positive of the Secret Betting Club. Is that they provide an excellent education in making money from sports betting. There is a lot of really good articles on their website regarding all the aspects of betting and the mentality needed to be a successful sports bettor.

Betting Tipster Review Sites Conclusion

Overall I don’t think you should ever rely completely on the word of a betting tipster review site. But they are certainly a good resource for highlighting betting services that might potentially be profitable.

It is best to educate yourself on the world of sports betting and sports trading. This way you can often see quite quickly whether a service is legitimate.

  • Are results recorded clearly and with more then one bookmaker?
  • Do they focus on long term results or just brag about short term winners?
  • Is there a refund policy or free trial?

Ultimately I think  legitimate betting tipster and service review sites are very useful.

They can save you a huge amount of time when looking for profitable betting services. However you should also make sure you do your research on both the review site and the service they are recommending.

Before parting with your hard earned money. 

Banker Bets Value Picks – New Review

John Baker the behind the successful football tipping service Banker Bets. Is bringing out an additional football betting service called Banker Bets Value Picks.

The Football Guru Review – Does It Make Money?

I have been testing out the betting gods tipster The Football Guru since the 8th of February. A total of 549 bets have be sent in this time. This is a tipster service from betting gods which focuses unsurprisingly on football.

The Football Guru focuses on the top European leagues along with English leagues. The service tips in many secondary markets alongside the more popular match odds markets. 

The Football Guru Review

Updated 29/05/2018

Since the original review the Football Guru has made a few changes and has continued to make impressive profits. In the original Football Guru review it was noted that they were including the Bet365 in-play offer. On a positive note this is no longer the case.

The last Bet365 offer included in results was in April 2017.

The Football Guru Review

I have continued to follow the Football Guru service after the initial review as it was a service that showed promise.

The Football Guru is a service that requires a long term approach but its overall results speak for themselves.

The Football Guru Review

With the positive changes made to the service and its consistent profits over a two year period. I am increasing The Football Guru to a recommended rating.

Original Football Guru Review

Lets take a look at the most important aspect of any review, the results. Results are recorded using £10 per point with the recommended 100 point betting bank.

The Football Guru Review

Key Stats

Bets549
Total Staked£9,557.40
P/L£480.00
ROI5%

Results have ended on a good note with a decent profit being made. You can see from the graph above however that this is a fairly volatile service. There are some quite large swings in the profit and loss graph.  

After a profitable start with the service reaching +£371 after 260 bets. It a hit a low of -£268 by 453 bets before sharply recovering and going on to record a profit of £480 by the end of the trial.

The Football Guru advises a lot of accumulator bets. Ranging from standard trebles or fourfolds to goliath bets. You can see that this creates a lot of spikes in the profit and loss column.

I have never been a fan of high variance betting so I also recorded results without any of the high selection accumulators. Doubles were the largest combination bet included.

The Football Guru Results – No Accumulators

The Football Guru Review

Although you still see the same graph shape as the initial one, it didn’t suffer from as large a drawdown. Its a much smoother looking graph.

Also removing any selections above a double resulted in increased profits, as a total of £539 was made. It does seem that should you want to, you could remove some of the volatility involved in following this service. And the service would continue to be profitable.

My plan is to continue following this service using this method.

Starting Banks

£1000 starting banks

Bank One ( Including Accumulator Bets)

£1480480 profit)

Bank Two ( Nothing higher the a double bet)

£1539539 profit)

The Football Guru Review – Conclusion

I like the Football Guru. It’s a service that I initially had doubts about but its results speak for itself.

The service is well run. Odds are relatively easy to achieve and often you can match or better them with betting exchanges. You receive an email everyday to inform you of the selections. One thing that I feel could be improved is the timing of these emails. Emails are not sent at a specific time so you don’t really know when to expect them. 

It would be good if selections could be sent at specific time frames. Having said that odds don’t get crushed as soon as emails are sent out which is a positive. 

The Football Guru tips at UK orientated bookmakers such as Bet365, William Hill, Betway etc. One bookmaker that seemed to be used very often was Betstars so it is beneficial if you have them available. However you can also follow the majority of his selections with the betting exchanges. For those people that are limited from most bookmakers.

Does The Football Guru Offer Good Value?

In my opinion at £30 a month you get your value for money. The service is a high volume one with an average of 110-130 selections a month being sent out. The in-play part of the service is also a good addition. This is in the form of a chat room where selections are sent out for live games. Normally on a Saturday when there is a busy schedule.

To conclude I will be looking to add the Football Guru to my betting portfolio. If it can continue to provide solid profits. Its relatively easy to follow, has a historic return on investment of 11% over 2000 bets and I have found the odds quoted attainable.

Having looked the Football Guru’s historic results however they do include the Bet365 bet £50 get £50 in play offer. This is the one negative point I should make about this service. As this does boost the stated roi quite a lot.

However if you remove profit made from this offer. Which was £1074 there is still a healthy profit of £2697 since the service started.

You can trial this service yourself for 30 days at the cost of £1. If you are looking for a football service that makes money long term this is one you should consider.

Sports Trading Exposed Review

Sports Trading Exposed Review – What Do You Get?

The book is well written, presented clearly and is quite lengthy at 234 pages. The first part of the book covers the basics of trading and how to set up your computer. Along with the the trading software you need, factors such as internet speed and latency, how betting exchanges function, lay betting etc.

Setting up Geeks Toy and becoming familiar with all of its uses is the next section that is covered. This is useful for beginners that are not familiar with API software. Money management is discussed and an overview of the UK horse racing markets is included.

Sports Trading Exposed Review

How much strategy is revealed?

After the basics of trading have been explained and you become aware of how to set yourself up to trade efficiently. We move on to strategy. There is quite a lot of crossover with Caan Berry’s ebook and videos. This is not a negative thing, as they are both professional horse traders its probably expected. There are however some new angles and insights discussed in Sports Trading Exposed that I haven’t seen before.

The strategy section of this book is very thorough and contains a lot of information.

What’s included?

  • Scalping Techniques
  • Crowd Thinking
  • Swing Trading
  • Price Bands
  • Que Positioning
  • Scratching
  • Spikes and corrections
  • Support and resistance
  • Market making
  • Spoofing
  • Clashes
  • Big Races
  • Using Betfair graphs
  • Screen Recording

There is also a lot more. You have 45 example videos where Tomas explains the strategies he uses and what he looks for in the markets. (Recently Tomas added videos of trades from Cheltenham 2017)

The book covers strategies used for Uk, Irish, US and Australian horse racing as well as greyhound racing.

Sports Trading Exposed Review – Conclusion

Overall Sports Trading Exposed is an excellent resource for those looking to profit from the horse trading markets. It is a really well put together trading package.

The fact that Tomas is also trying to build a community and has a forum is a really positive factor. Learning to trade well takes time. Offering an ongoing platform to give out advice on a frequent basis is an excellent idea.

For beginners or someone looking to start trading the horse racing markets, Sports Trading Exposed is ideal material to get you started. From the videos I have seen it is obvious Tomas is an excellent horse racing trader. The way he reads the markets and his reaction time to the changing dynamics are really impressive.

Given that his community is quite small at the moment means you are going to be able to get a lot time and advice.

At £94.80 you are getting a lot of content for money. Alongside continuing support from a professional trader. There is also a 60 day refund guarantee should you feel you haven’t got enough value from this product.

Sports Trading Exposed gets a clear recommendation from me. The horse racing markets are tough to crack and no ebook or training course will make you a super trader overnight. However this trading package will give you in depth insights of a professional trader, ongoing support and show you the necessary tools to succeed in the horse racing markets.

The Football Guru – Month 1 Results

I have had a month of selections from[af_link id=”1911″]The Football Guru.[/af_link]

With historic results showing close to a 15% return on investment. I was quite excited to trial this service.

Has it delivered any profits in the first month of the trial?

The Football Guru – Month 1 Results

Football Guru Results Month 1

Key stats

Bets282
Total Staked£4730
P/L£66.8
ROI1.4%

The Football Guru is a high volume service. At the weekend you might get as many as 10 pre match selections. Alongside the pre match selections there is also an in play part of the service. Where you might another 10-15 selections.

This means that you are staking a lot of money and the swings in your profit and loss can be quite high. I have found that the odds given out in emails are quite easy to achieve. Often also the odds given for in play selections can be bettered by using the betting exchanges.

The ROI is very small after the first month. However you really need a large amount of bets before the variance evens out.

Starting Bank

£1000

After the first month of results now stands at.

£1066.8

I have enjoyed following this service so far. It is quite unlike any other tipster service that I have followed.

Given the large amount of bets sent out. I should be able to get a large sample size of bets after only a few months. We should be able to get a good indication of how profitable this service is by then.

The next update will be around the 8th of April.

Cudworth’s Racing Lays Review – Laying Horses at Betfair SP

I have had three months of selections for Cudsworth’s Racing Lays service. The service focuses on laying horses at the Betfair SP. Which is a great idea as you don’t have to worry about missing prices or getting limited from bookmakers. The lay bets are emailed on a daily basis around 12.00.

How then did the service perform over a three month period?

Cudworth’s Racing Lays Review

Cudworth's Racing Lays Review

It hasn’t been a good period for Cudwoth’s racing lays with losses coming quite regularly. Staking to £50 liability per race the total losses for the three month period was -£449.81.

The service also added a new element during the trial with 5 point back bets. There were only three of these bets over the testing period with two losses and one win. Early days for this approach but so far they have combined for a loss of -£31.

Key stats (Set £50 liability)

The official results for the service use a £10 per point staking system. This means that for each lay bet they aim to win £10. This staking method is also showing losses at -£202.

Cudsworth’s Racing Lays Review – Final Verdict

Despite really liking the whole idea of the service and its approach to laying at the Betfair SP. Results have been consistently bad and the service has never really looked like making any profit. On top of that if you add in 3 months subscription at £89.85 (3 x £29.95). Then you are looking at some heavy losses over the 3 month period.

I can’t recommend this service based on the results of the trial and it falls into the category of poor value.

Mastering Tennis Trading Review
The tennis markets attract huge amounts of liquidity.

Mastering Tennis Trading Review

The book mastering tennis trading is as the name implies all about trading the tennis markets on betting exchanges.

I don’t trade tennis myself but I always love to read how professional traders approach trading the betting exchanges. This book does a great job of that and has really given me the motivation to take a much deeper look at trading tennis in 2017.

Mastering Tennis Trading is a total of 117 pages long. It starts with a basic introduction to tennis trading and how to setup yourself up when you are trading. General aspects of the betting exchanges are also explained such as price increments, laying, liquidity etc.

After the general introduction different trading strategies and situations are discussed in detail. One recurring theme that I really liked about this book is the use of data to explain why a trade had or might have a positive expectation.

Mastering Tennis Trading covers quite a large number of trading situations with the main topics including

  • Pre-match trading
  • Projected service holds
  • Pre-match lay to back in-play 
  • Backing favourites when losing
  • Laying bad servers
  • Pressure situations
  • Backing the server
  • Tiebreak trading
  • In-game trades
  • At the end of the first set
  • The deciding set
  • Dangerous situations
  • Psychology risk and bankroll management

So you can see from the above that this book is very thorough and covers pretty much all aspects of trading tennis.

 

Mastering Tennis Trading Review

Final Verdict

I really enjoyed reading this book and felt that I was getting expert advice from somebody that is trading the tennis markets profitably for a living. Mastering Tennis Trading does an excellent job of explaining the basics of trading tennis and then progresses to show well explained examples of how you can find profitable angles within the tennis markets.

This book gets a clear recommendation from me. It is well written, easy to follow and would add a huge amount of value to anyone that was looking to trade tennis on the exchanges.

It gets a five star rating from me.
