Exponential Bet Betting Strategies

We have reached the end of our 18 month trial of Exponential Bet’s Betting Strategies (previously Remote Dutch Betting) and here are the final results:-

– Sure Favs: +167 points (to staking of 4 points main, 2 high and 2 foundation)
– Racing Lays: -135 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Lay Dutching: -91 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Bet Advantage: -283 points (to 4 point low, 2 med, 0 high staking)

TOTAL: -341 points

You can view full results here. (please note results for each system and the previous Remote Dutch Betting systems are in separate tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet).

We have been following Exponential Bet’s Betting Strategies (previously Remote Dutch Betting) for over 18 months now.

The systems are operated automatically, placing bets on your Betfair account via a piece of software called Cloud Bet Bot that was developed by Nigel Dove of Levelsoftware. This doesn’t even need a VPS to work as it runs on the cloud, which is an impressive piece of technology.

Exponential Bet’s systems have been through various iterations since we started this review, with the most recent versions being the four separate strategies listed above.

As you can see from the results, only one of these was profitable – the “Sure Favs” system which is consistent favourite backing using a selective filtering method.

The other three systems were not profitable and unfortunately we made a net loss of 341 points from following the four systems together.

It is worth pointing out here that we did have some gaps in our betting as we had not updated our settings and had some occasions early on where there were not enough funds in our Betfair account (something you need to keep an eye on), so our results do not exactly match the official results.

It is also worth noting that there are a range of staking options and settings for each system which you can choose from based on your personal tolerance for risk, so other users are likely to have had slightly different results to us in any event.

Overall though, when you look at the official results on the Exponential Bet website, it also shows a loss for the three systems so it was not just the staking/settings we used.

Final Thoughts

It is difficult to give a final verdict on a review like this as to be fair you should perhaps separate out the four systems and rate them separately.

In that case we would give a passed rating to Sure Favs and a failed rating to the other three systems.

We also think the technology behind this is exceptional, particularly having the bets placed automatically for you on Betfair without having to faff around with a VPS. Although there were some teething problems initially with the systems placing the bets, now it all appears to work seamlessly and with a variety of options available such as taking BSP or prices shortly before the off.

There is great potential for this kind of software and we hope to see more uses of it going forward to aid bettors in their trading and betting on Betfair.

Ultimately though the systems themselves have unfortunately failed to come up to scratch. The previous versions we tested over the course of this review going back to August 2019 also made losses, in addition to those made by the four most recent systems.

So it appears Ryan, who runs Exponential Bet, hasn’t quite cracked things yet. We know he works extremely hard though and is constantly innovating (as we saw during this review with so many changes of system!) so hopefully he will get there at some point.

To be honest, even if Ryan ends up just having found one good system with Sure Favs, that can be run automatically on the cloud and churn out consistent profits on Betfair, he will have achieved far more than most betting system developers. And credit to Nigel Dove as well for building the cloud-based software, which as we say is very impressive.

For the moment though we will wrap up this review by saying whilst there is that positive side of things, there are also failed ratings for the other three systems and the previous versions which have to be taken into account.

So we will just keep an eye on things and see how they develop at Exponential Bet, with the hope that Sure Favs continues to do well and Ryan hits on some other good systems in future.

Exponential Bet Betting Strategies – Results Update

6th February 2021

More losses unfortunately for Exponential Bet’s Betting Strategies (previously Remote Dutch Betting) lately, with a loss of 31 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 360 points down for our trial overall.

Here are the results for the four systems we are testing:

– Sure Favs: +122 points (to staking of 4 points main, 2 high and 2 foundation)
– Racing Lays: -121 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Lay Dutching: -71 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Bet Advantage: -290 points (to 4 point low, 2 med, 0 high staking)

You can view full results here. (please note results for each system and the previous Remote Dutch Betting systems are in separate tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet).

This has obviously been a disappointing review and we’ve given it as long as we can, proofing for over 18 months now but we will give it just one more month before wrapping things up.

Really Sure Favs is looking like the only viable system based on results to date so that is the one to concentrate on if you are going to get involved.

Exponential Bet Betting Strategies – Results Update

6th January 2021

The struggles continue unfortunately for Exponential Bet’s Betting Strategies (previously Remote Dutch Betting) lately, with a loss of 52 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 329 points down for our trial overall.

Here are the results for the four systems we are testing:

– Sure Favs: +121 points (to staking of 4 points main, 2 high and 2 foundation)
– Racing Lays: -123 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Lay Dutching: -84 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Bet Advantage: -243 points (to 4 point low, 2 med, 0 high staking)

You can view full results here. (please note results for each system and the previous Remote Dutch Betting systems are in separate tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet).

So as you can see it’s only the Sure Favs system that is in profit at the moment and it may not be too long before we discontinue following the other systems and concentrate on that one as there are only so many losses you can take!

Just to note that we had some problems with our settings so missed around a month of bets from late October, but that appears to have been a losing period for the systems in any event judging by the official results on the Exponential Bet website.

All in all we have been running this review since August 2019 and during that time the service has undergone numerous changes and iterations, but is yet to hit on a winning formula. Whilst we have been trying to cut them as much slack as possible, ultimately there has to come a point where we call it a day.

Exponential Bet Betting Strategies – Results Update

26th October 2020

It’s been a very rough time for Exponential Bet’s Betting Strategies (previously Remote Dutch Betting) lately, with a loss of £273 made since our last update.

That means they are now £277 down for our trial overall.

Here are the results for the four systems we are testing:

– Sure Favs: +106 points (to staking of 4 points main, 2 high and 2 foundation)
– Racing Lays: -88 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Lay Dutching: -68 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Bet Advantage: -227 points (to 4 point low, 2 med, 0 high staking)

You can view full results here. (please note results for each system and the previous Remote Dutch Betting systems are in separate tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet).

Suffice to say this has been a disappointing start and we are having to reduce stakes before we risk losing most of our bank. At least one of the systems – Sure Favs – is in profit so hopefully that can continue its recent form. The other systems are obviously struggling and will need to turn things around.

It shows the difference between back-testing a system based on past results and testing something “in the wild” as it were with actual live results. Sadly the two don’t always correlate and that is proving to be the case here so far.

Exponential Bet Betting Strategies – Results Update

27th September 2020

Well yet again we have a change to the setup of what was Remote Daily Betting from Exponential Bet, a service that seems to change its setup more often than the weather!

This time they have revamped the service to produce four new betting strategies:

– Sure Favs: betting on favourites using a range of filters they have developed during live testing.
– Racing Lays: laying horses in races according to fixed criteria.
– Lay Dutching: Lay betting from 4th favourite at time of selection.
– Bet Advantage: Value bets from the second favourite to fifth.

Please note we have changed the name of our review to reflect the fact that these systems no longer come under “Remote Dutch (or Daily) Betting” on the Exponential Bet website but rather “betting strategies.”

On the one hand you can give the Exponential Bet team credit for wanting to adjust and improve their systems, but on the other hand it does make it a little tricky to review and for members to follow with the regular changes. We hope this time they find some systems (or even just a system!) that works and stick with it for the long term.

Anyway, here are our results so far for the four new systems:

– Sure Favs: -18 points (to staking of 4 points main, 2 high and 2 foundation)
– Racing Lays: +43 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Lay Dutching: -9 points (to 10 point liability staking)
– Bet Advantage: -20 points (to 4 point low, 2 med, 0 high staking)

So overall that gives us a total of -4 points for the new systems to date.

You can view full results here. (please note results for the previous versions are in separate tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet).

So the Racing Lays are looking like the most promising so far but it is early days so we will have to give things a chance to play out.

As with the previous versions, the systems all place bets remotely to your Betfair account using Cloud Bet Bot, a piece of third party betting software.

Anyway, let’s hope they have hit on the winning formula this time and we get to see the systems play out for a good period of time.

Remote Daily Betting – Update

22nd August 2020

It’s probably best for our updates of Remote Daily Betting to separate out the three systems we are testing, as they are quite distinct systems with different approaches, staking etc.

So here are the results for each of the three systems for our review to date:-

– RDB Dutching: -69 points (to 10 point lay liability staking)
– RDB Straight: +6 points (to 1 point back staking)
– JV System: +10 points (to 1 point back staking)

You can view full results here. (please note results for the previous versions are in separate tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet).

So as you can see the systems have produced very different results to date. Although the RDB Dutching on the face of it is using higher staking at 10 unit max lay liability, that is generally to win around 2-4 units per race, so actually the staking is probably comparable to the 1 unit back staking used for the other two systems.

We noted previously that our results are a little different to the official results as we had missed some bets, so it is worth pointing out that the official results are around 18 points worse for the RDB Dutching and around two points better for the RDB Straight using our staking of risking 10 points on the Dutching lays and 1 point per bet on the RDB Straight.

Anyway, based on results so far it looks like the RDB Straight and JV Systems are the most promising where as it has been a struggle for RDB Dutching.
