Winintennis Full Review

 

Winintennis is a tennis tipping service that provides tips on both men’s and women’s tennis. 

We subscribed to their main pre-match betting tips, which costs £59.95 per month.

They also sometimes provide some free in-play tips and there is a dedicated in-running service costing an eye-watering…wait for it…£499.99 per month!

The main thing to note about their pre-match tips is that there aren’t very many of them! We had just 17 tips in three months of subscribing.

They ended up making 4 points profit over the trial, but we felt that once subscription costs are taken into account, it barely seems worth following the service for just 5 or 6 tips per month.

So we will give Winintennis a neutral rating – perhaps if they could up the volume of bets and keep the strike rate at a similar level, we would consider upgrading to a passed rating.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Good. Tips are sent out by e-mail and as we say, there are very few so following the service will take very little of your time. 

Availability of prices: Prices were generally obtainable and occasionally by using the exchanges you can beat the advised prices.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 89%, which if there was a higher volume bets could result in strong bank growth.  

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 25 point bank for the trial which seemed sufficient as most of the tips are at odds on and with a high strike rate, should not be too risky.  

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £59.95 per month for the pre-match tips.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Winintennis is a low-volume tennis tipster that produced 4 points of profit during our three month trial.

It is an easy service to use and we should always commend a service that makes a profit.

However, with just a 16% growth of the bank in three months and once subscription costs are taken into account, we don’t think 4 points profit is quite enough to warrant an approved rating.

So it’s a neutral rating from us for Winintennis

Winintennis – Results Update

24th August 2016

Well Winintennis must be the lowest volume service we have ever encountered. 

Nearly three months in and we have only had 17 bets.

In total we are 4 points in profit, which isn’t too bad.

You can view full results here.

However, with such a low bet volume and low points total, there is a serious question as to whether it is worth following once subscription costs are taken into account.

We will return shortly with our final review – but I think you can guess what we are going to say…

Winintennis – Results Update

29th July 2016

Again there isn’t much to report for Winintennis.

Since our last update a month ago there have only been eight bets and we stand exactly where we did a month previous, on 2 points up.

You can view full results here.

As we said previously, this is a very low volume service and with generally short-odds selections, it would take a long time to build a bank with this one.

So with just a month to go, it seems unlikely we will be much in profit come the end of the trial.

Back in a month with our final report.

Winintennis – Results Update

30th June 2016

A month into our trial of Winintennis and we don’t have much to report in all honesty.

So far there have only been five tips, a very low number over the course of a whole month.

The good news though is that all the five tips won (although four of them were at odds of below 1.4). In total that means they are 2 points up so far.

You can view full results here.

The service seems to be more about trying to get you to sign up to their “heavily discounted” subscription for in-play tips at a whopping £499.99 per month.

If that is “heavily discounted” we wonder what the full price would be!

In addition, they send out free in-play tips, but weirdly these are mainly bets for individual games further down the line in a current match when you don’t know what the odds will be. The odds they post for those bets are often not actually available.

So we are not sure what to make of those free in-play tips.

But the main tips are in profit, so we can’t really complain thus far.

Back soon with more updates.

Winintennis – New Review

1st June 2016

With the tennis season in full swing now and the French Open slowly working its way towards a conclusion, there is a great deal of tennis action to bet on and much more coming up over the Summer.

We have one trial of a tennis tipster that has just concluded – i.e. that of Tennis Bett – and one ongoing – that of TennisTips.co.uk.

So we are pleased to have found another tennis tipster to test out in the form of Winintennis.

This is a service that has been around for a long time – right back to 2001 according to their website, when they apparently tipped Goran Ivanisevic to win Wimbledon at 150/1!

There are some fairly bold claims made on the website about being able to treble your bank in 3 months and that you can make £5,000 – £10,000 per month tax-free, so it will be interesting to see if they can achieve results like these under the spotlight of a live trial.

There are no results published on the website, which can be a worrying sign but does not in itself mean the service is no good. 

There is a just a list of underdog winners, which doesn’t tell us very much. 

You can get free tips under a three-month trial, which are in-play tips.

The paid subscriptions cost £59.95/month and for that you get the match tips.

So without further ado we will get our trial underway and will report back soon on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Winintennis here. 

 

Jason Bond Picks – Final Review

Jason Bond Picks is a stock market advisory service that offers up live picks plus videos, advice and a live chat room.

At the outset of our review, we tried to follow the picks and buy and sell as Jason did.

However, the problem is that by the time you have received the pick, the price has nearly always changed and you cannot get the same price as Jason did.

That is the case in both buying and selling the stock, so you are missing out on value on both sides.

In short, it didn’t really work following the picks.

You can view full results here.

Whilst Jason made 245% profit, we made just 25%, which once you take the costs of dealing into account, doesn’t leave you with much. 

Anyway, Jason doesn’t advise just following his stocks blindly, so that is probably not the way to go.

Included in the subscription package is also advice and training on looking for patterns and indicators to trade like Jason does.

However, having looked at this we didn’t feel there was anything particularly outstanding or foolproof there that would guarantee making you the kinds of money Jason talks about.

There are some useful training aids and videos, plus spending time in the chat room is a good way to pick up ideas and learn from other traders.

Overall as part of the package we feel you will probably improve as a trader, but ultimately here at Honest Betting Reviews we have to judge systems by their results.

And we just didn’t feel the results were quite good enough, once trading and subscription costs are taken into account, to justify a recommended rating.

So it’s a neutral rating for Jason Bond Picks for us – a lot of marketing here but sadly we didn’t find it worked to follow Jason’s picks.

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Jason Bond Picks – Results Update

7th July 2016

OK so after following Jason Bond’s stock picks for about six weeks, we have come to a realisation. 

And that realisation is that basically there is no point trying to copy his picks!

Whilst Jason is 245% up since we started following his picks at the end of May, we are only 25%.

You can view full results here.

Once you have taken trade costs into account, it is barely worth it. 

Plus we have had to be right on the button to achieve that, if you had been a bit slower you probably would have made even less.

It is very frustrating to see Jason boasting about all these profits he is making whilst you can’t match his trades.

But in any event, Jason advises against mirroring his trades and rather sees his service as a learning process.

So for the remainder of this review we will look at what we can learn and whether the lessons are worth the (rather considerable) subscription fees…

In the meantime, if anyone knows of a stockmarket service that actually sends out genuine stock tips that you are meant to copy, please let us know!

Jason Bond Picks – Results Update

6th June 2016

Firstly our apologies for the late update on Jason Bond Picks. With a few other things going on around the site we were delayed in getting going.

We are now off and running though and happy to give you our first thoughts. 

The overall news is good. 

Jason’s picks – which are sent out by e-mail – have so far made 54% profit for him, netting him a cool $23,555 in profit.

You can view full results here.

However, there are three fairly important things to be aware of when looking at the results. 

Firstly, you will struggle to match Jason’s results exactly. By the time his picks have been sent out, the prices tend to have changed quite a bit, losing some of the value he has secured.

So as you will see from the right side of the results spreadsheet, our results haven’t been quite as impressive as Jason’s.

As you can see, whilst he is 54% up, we are 22% up so far.

That is still very good and six of the eight trades to date have been winners, with one effectively being a scratch trade.

Secondly, Jason is trading in very large amounts, so the fact that he is over $23,000 in profit so far is partly due to the fact that he is buying in chunks of $30,000 – $50,000 for each trade. 

You may not (and I have to say I am not able to!) match those kinds of stakes. But just set yourself what is realistic and you can still make a healthy profit based on what we have seen so far.

Finally, if you are based outside the US it is worth bearing in mind that Jason’s picks are all US stocks, some of which may not be easily be available to buy via all stockbrokers in other countries.

We use Hargreaves Lansdown for our trades, who are a UK-based broker and are very good for US stocks. So far we have been able to buy all but one of the stocks through them. 

For those that aren’t available through stockbrokers, there are always spread betting companies like IG Index and FXTM who also cover US stocks.

So you should be able to follow the vast majority of the trades if you are outside the US, but just be aware you may miss one of two.

Now of course Jason Bond Picks is about more than just Jason’s trades – there are a number of other interesting features to the site. 

There is a live chat room where you can pick up strategies and tips from expert stock traders, plus have a gas with other share enthusiasts. 

There is also a penny stocks 101 section, which is a step-by-step guide to trading penny stocks.

In addition, there are also helpful video lessons on the site and plenty of other useful info.

One other thing to note, apparently Jason is heading to LA in the middle of the month to deliver a NEW Porsche 911 Targa to a client, who at the young age of 25, is now a millionaire with $1,000,000+ in trading profits (audited) since joining Jason Bond Picks just 2 years ago.

Apparently the guy started out with less than $50,000 and is now a millionaire from following Jason Bond Picks.

Now we can’t obviously verify this one way or the other but would be pretty amazing if true!

Anyway, so far we are impressed with Jason Bond Picks and are quite excited by the profit building potential of the service.

We will be back soon with more updates.

Jason Bond Picks – New Review

18th March 2016

When we started this site, we had intended to cover both betting systems and financial trading systems. 

However, to date we must say that the vast majority have been betting systems. This is our own preference and they tend to be a little less time consuming to review.

There are lots of good potential financial trading strategies out there too though.

And to be honest, if something makes money then we don’t really care if it’s based on sport, games, casinos, financial markets or whatever else people may bet on – the most important thing is that it makes money!

So to correct the imbalance we have had on the site to date we are intending to do some more reviews of financial and forex systems.

First up is Jason Bond Picks (no relation to James we understand), a guy who focuses on winning small cap swing trades.

We have heard good things about this site from other stockmarket traders, so thought it would be a good place to start.

Jason is a professional trader and teaches people to trade stocks. He has apparently made over $500,000 in trading profits since the inception of his site.

He has a verified record of profits in the last few years of:

2015: 188% profit

2014: 31% profit

2013: 78% profit

So pretty good records, although it is not clear where these figures have been verified.

Anyway, there are potentially two options for trading with Jason.

  1. One is the day trading option, for supposedly “greedy, trigger happy traders” (sound familiar anyone?) who need profitable intraday trades.
  2. Then there is the swing trading option, which is designed to make money without being chained to your computer all day. There are apparently an average of 3 swing trades per week with a hold time of 1-4 days. 

We will be focusing on the latter of these two, whilst keeping an eye on the first one.

So, with our first foray into financial trading for a while, let’s hope we are in safe hands with Jason Bond – and end up not too shaken, or stirred (sorry, couldn’t resist a Bond-related pun)…

Back soon with our first update on how things are going.

In the meantime, you can check out Jason Bond Picks here.

Strike Rate:    39%
Bank Growth:    -13%
Cost:   £39.50 per month or £89.50 per quarter

Galileo Racing – Full Review

 

Galileo Racing is a horse racing tipster from the reputable Pro Betting Club stable.

Coming into our trial, it had made over 300 points profit at a return on investment of over 25%, so we were very hopeful that this would turn out to be a winner.

Sadly though, things didn’t quite work out as we had hoped and the trial finished with a loss of 13 points.

As things go it is not the worst trial we have ever had and there is always the possibility they will get things back on track soon.

So for the moment we give them a neutral rating and hopefully things will improve for Galileo Racing over the Autumn and beyond.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Not bad. You have to log in to the Pro Betting Club site each day rather than having the tips sent to you by e-mail/text, which would be preferable. But there are usually just one or two bets per day, so the time involved is minimal. 

Availability of prices: There are no prices advised as such, which is very unusual for a horse racing tipster.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 39%, which includes placed horses. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial, which seemed plenty enough to take account of any losing runs. 

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £39.50 per month or £89.50 per quarter.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

It’s been a slightly disappointing trial for the horse racing tipster Galileo Racing.

A loss of 13 points was not what we were hoping for, but was not the worst outcome of a trial we have seen either. 

So a neutral verdict and a watching brief will be the order of the day for this one for the time being.

Galileo Racing – Results Update

10th August 2016

Things have picked up a bit for Galileo Racing, a horse racing tipster from the Pro Betting Club stable.

They have added 9 points of profit at advised prices since our last update a month ago, bringing them to -17 points for the trial overall.

 You can view full results here.

At Betfair SP they have added 6 points of profit since our last update to reach -24 points for the trial overall.

We have just a couple of weeks left in our trial of Galileo Racing, so let’s hope for a strong run at the end to bring them into profit for the trial overall.

 

 

 

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Galileo Racing – Results Update

13th July 2016

Unfortunately it is been a slightly disappointing time for Galileo Racing. 

The service has lost 20 points at advised prices since our last update, meaning it is now 26 points down for the trial as a whole.

You can view full results here.

At Betfair SP things are a little lower, at -30 points for the trial.

We had high hopes for this one at the outset, so it is a shame it has not quite lived up to those hopes yet.

Still, it is relatively early days in the trial as we have only had 41 bets so far, which is a fairly small number to go on.

Anyway, let’s hope things have picked up for them by the time of our next update.

Galileo Racing – Results Update

15th June 2016

It’s been an up and down start to our trial of Galileo Racing, who stated off strongly and went 13 points into profit quickly, but have had a tough run since then.

So far for the trial they are 6 points down at early prices and 10 points down at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Interestingly they don’t actually include advised prices with their selections, so it is just a case of grabbing the best price you can when the tips are released.

It is very early days in the trial, so plenty of time to get going, with Royal Ascot this week being a good starting point hopefully.

Back soon with more updates.

Galileo Racing – New Review

25th May 2016

What do you look for in a horse racing tipster?

Obviously the bottom line is that you want it to make you money.

But beyond that, what are the important things for a service to have?

Well in our view, we like a tipster to have the following things:

  • A high number of winning months
  • A good strike rate, so losing runs are short and you can bet at reasonably high stakes
  • A decent return on investment
  • Sensible staking
  • Prices that are obtainable

For our next trial, we think we may have found a service that meets all these criteria – well at least four of them anyway.

The service in question is called Galileo Racing and it comes from the respected Pro Betting Club.

It has had 13 out of 14 winning months so far, so very good on that front.

The strike rate is around 30%, which is very respectable for a racing service and means winners should be regular enough.

The return on investment is apparently 25%, which over a 14 month period is very high indeed. There aren’t many tipsters that manage above a 20% ROI in the long term.

Staking is sensible as well, with either a 2 point win bet or 1 point each way on every tip.

So that just leaves the question of whether prices are obtainable.

Well we will find out soon enough! 

Indeed, that is partly what reviewing these services is about, in addition to checking results are accurate and that they are practical to follow.

So without further ado, we will get our trial of Galileo Racing underway and let’s hope it lives up to the pre-trial billing we have just given it!

We will revert soon with our first update on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Galileo Racing here.

CorrectScores.net – Final Review

We have reached the end of our three month trial of CorrectScores.net and here are the final results:

 

Profit/loss:    -4 points 
Strike Rate:    82%
Bank Growth:    -8%
Cost:   £30 per month 
ROI:   -5%
Average number of bets:    1 per day
VERDICT:   NEUTRAL
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

CorrectScores.net Full Review

 

CorrectScores.net is a service that involves laying the current score at half time in selected matches in the hope that there will be more goals and hence the bet will win.

At the start of our trial they advised laying any current score at half time as long as the odds were under 6.0. 

However, during the trial they changed this to only laying if the score is a certain scoreline, normally 1-0 or 1-1. 

That approach means there are less bets but has proved effective for the short time it was in operation.

Overall however, the trial finished with a slightly disappointing 4 points lost.

They also introduced a “lay the 0-2 scoreline” system part way through the trial, but that was also slightly down by the end of our trial.

All in all then we feel like a neutral rating is the fairest judgement here – a small loss was no disaster and there were signs the new approach was proving more effective.

So we will keep an eye on things for a while longer and see if this turns out to be the case.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Generally good, bets are sent out in good time before matches and there are usually just 1-3 matches to bet on any one day. You obviously need to be able to monitor the matches and place your potential lay bet at half time if the criteria are met, so may not suit everyone. 

Availability of prices: There are no prices advised as such, just whatever the price is at half time and presuming it is below 10.0, which it nearly always is. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 82%, which on the face of it is good but with laying systems when you hit a loser it does hit the bank quite hard so you need to be prepared for that. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 50 point bank for the trial, which seemed plenty enough to take account of any losing runs. 

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £30 per month. The good thing is though that if they have a losing month then you get the next month free (or you can get a refund for the month instead). 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Correctscores.net takes an interesting approach to betting on football, by laying the current score at half-time if it meets certain criteria.

Sadly the results haven’t turned out quite as expected over our trial however.

With 4 points lost, it is certainly not the worst trial we have run though and there were signs the new approach to laying only if the score is certain scorelines appears to be improving things.

So we will keep our eye on things for a while longer and see if results can turn around for them.

 

 

 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

8th August 2016

It has been a tough time for CorrectScores.net, who have dropped 12 points since our last update to be 14 points down for the trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

The methodology for the selections was changed recently. Instead of laying any HT score (apart from 0-0) as we have been doing up until now, they now only say to lay the score at HT if the score is one of certain scorelines (e.g. 1-0, 1-1 etc).

And the maximum lay odds have changed from 6.0 to 10.0

So perhaps this change of approach will lead to an improvement in results – and with the main football season just a week away, there will be more action to choose from. 

Back soon with more updates.

 

 

 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

11th July 2016

There has been a slight improvement for CorrectScores.net since our last update a month ago.

They have picked up 4 points of profit to sit at -2.5 points so far for the trial. 

You can view full results here.

To be honest though, things have been very quiet for them, with only nine bets over the last month.

It is probably a better idea to monitor this service when the main footy season is in progress rather than during the Summer months when there are very few bets.

It’s not long to go now – just one month until the Premier League kicks off again – so we will continue following them into the new season.

The other thing to mention is that they recently started up a second service involving laying the 0-2 scoreline (i.e. laying the underdog to win 2-0).

Unfortunately that second service has not started well and is 15 points down so far after three weeks.

Still, it is very early days so plenty of time to turn things around.

Back soon with more updates. 

 

 

 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

14th June 2016

It’s been a slow start to our trial of CorrectScores.net, a service that provides matches to lay the current score at half time in.

So far they are 6 points down after three weeks.

You can view full results here.

To be fair, things have been quiet with the end of the football season and there haven’t been very many selections so far.

Interestingly they have recently added a second service to their repertoire, which involves laying the 2-0 in selected matches.

It has apparently made 165 points profit in 4 months, with a strike rate of close to 99%.

The average lay odds for the 2-0 are 30 though, so this is not for the feint-hearted.

We will monitor how the 2-0 service gets on now and see if they can match the impressive pre-trial results.

Back soon with more updates.

CorrectScores.net – New Review

21st May 2016

Alas the main footy season is over – excluding the Champions League final of course.

So you may be feeling withdrawal symptoms already, wondering where you can get your fix of betting on the beautiful game whilst Europe’s big leagues take a break.

Fear not though, just because we are into the Summer, it doesn’t mean football betting has to stop. 

Not by a long shot.

The Euros are just around the corner and there are a good number of leagues that play during the Summer including in Scandanavia, Russia, South America and Ireland amongst others.

So strap yourselves in for a new football betting system to keep us footy addicts going over the Summer.

The system is question is called CorrectScores.Net and it follows a very simple strategy.

Basically you get a list of games to potentially bet on in the morning.

Then you lay the current scoreline at half time. as long as two criteria are met:

  • The score is not 0-0 at half time; and
  • You can get odds of less than 6.0. 

So a pretty simple setup, there should be no problems following this one. 

The published results on the website look very good, albeit over a fairly short period, with 42 points profit made to 1 point level stakes since the service started in February this year.

The system has supposedly been developed over 3 years, so plenty of work has gone into it by the sounds of things.

And to top it off, there is a profit guarantee of 5 points profit per month, so if you don’t make that much profit they will refund your subscription fees.

That shows great confidence in their service and must mean they believe at least 5 points profit will be made per month on a consistent basis.

We ran a trial of similar system a while ago called Half Time Hero that sadly didn’t pan out, but let’s hope for better things from CorrectScores.net

We will return soon with our first update on how things are coming along for this one.

In the meantime, you can check out CorrectScores.net here.

Alex Hammond Tips – Full Review

 

Alex Hammond is the resident tipster on Sky Sports News and she provides one tip per day for the punting public.

At the start of the trial, we were curious to see whether her tips were any good and would deliver any profit.

Well at the end of three months we are pleased to say that Alex has managed to rack up an impressive 38 points of profit to 1 point level stakes.

Here are the results for the trial in graph format:

Alex Hammond Tips Profit Graph

As you can see, pretty steady profit growth throughout the trial.

And that was with a strike rate of 32% and using a 50 point bank, meant a 76% growth in the bank over the three months.

And best of all, the tips are completely FREE! 

You just need to check the Sky Sports site each day for the tips.

So with some stellar results and being super-easy to follow, we are happy to give Alex Hammond’s tips a recommended rating.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: As stated above, very simple to follow with just one tip per day. 

Availability of prices: The advised prices were under no great pressure and this is certainly no Tom Segal or Hugh Taylor situation. Indeed, at Betfair SP we actually slightly beat the advised prices, with 41 points profit being recorded.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 32%, which is pretty decent and means losing streaks were kept to a minimum.   

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 50 point bank for the trial, which seemed plenty enough to take account of any losing runs. 

Subscription costs: The best thing about the service – FREE! 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

It is not often we have a positive trial of one of the popular tipsters in the press or on TV, so we are pleased to say that Alex Hammond has passed with flying colours.

Managing to amass 41 points profit at Betfair SP is no mean feat and with a return on investment of 44%, it was a strong trial for Ms Hammond.

With just one tip per day it is a very easy service to follow and with it being free, you really can’t complain.

Let’s hope Alex can continue this kind of form in the long run, but for now we are content to give her tips a recommended rating.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

3rd August 2016

Alex Hammond has continued her excellent form, adding another 21 points profit at advised prices and 15 points of profit at Betfair SP since our last update.

That means she is now 35 points up for the trial as a whole at advised prices and 36 points up at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Alex had a very good Goodwood festival, netting winners five days in a row to land over 13 points of profit. Pretty awesome stuff!

So just a few weeks to go in our trial and nice to see some really decent results from a free tipster.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

9th July 2016

There has been good progress by Alex Hammond since our last update, adding a further 9 points profit at advised prices and 13 points at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

That means she is now 14 points up at advised prices and 21 points up at Betfair SP.

Alex had an excellent Royal Ascot, bagging winners in the form of Ribchester at 8/1 and Even Song at 11/4.

It is good to see the Betfair SP beating the advised prices, which you rarely see from tipsters.

We are just over halfway through the trial now, so let’s hope for more of the same from Ms Hammond in the second half of the trial.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

12th June 2016

It’s been a good start to our trial of Alex Hammond Tips, with the resident Sky Sports News tipster sitting 5 points in profit at early prices and 8 points in profit at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

The tips are available for free on the Sky Sports site here and of course Alex features on Sky Sports News as well.

It is tough to make a profit when you are obliged to provide just one tip per day, every day, but we have been impressed with the start made by Alex Hammond and hopefully it will continue in the same vein.

Back soon with more updates.

Alex Hammond Tips – New Review

20th May 2016

If you have watched Sky Sports News over the years, you will no doubt have seen the lovely Alex Hammond providing expert analysis and tips for the day’s horse racing.

As I was sitting watching the other day, I wondered how successful Alex was with her tipping.

Certainly she seems to have a very thorough knowledge of the sport and is clearly not just there to brighten up our screens.

However, can her horse racing knowledge translate into success in the tipping game?

Well we thought it was time to find out by running a trial of Alex Hammond’s tips here at Honest Betting Reviews.

So we will record her tips each day and see how she performs under the spotlight of a live trial.

Alex’s involvement with horses began at an early age, competing in showjumping events as a junior. She worked in the Shadwell stud of Sheikh Hamden, before moving to the yard of trainers Jack and Lynda Ramsden. 

She also has some experience as a jockey, having ridden in over 50 amateur flat races and was placed in a race at Royal Ascot.

And of course she has been married to jockey Richard Quinn since 2007.

So all in all Alex seems to have excellent “pedigree” as they say and should have good prospects of making a profit in the tipping game.

However, we have seen lots of examples over the years of horse racing experts who sadly haven’t been able to find a winning edge when it came to providing tips.

Let’s hope Alex Hammond is an exception and can put all her horse racing expertise to good use by finding us some winners over the trial.

We will provide regular updates on how things go during the trial.

In the meantime you can check out Alex Hammond’s tips here.

Classic Racing Gold – Full Review

 

It’s been a spectacular trial for Classic Racing Gold, who have delivered some superb profits for us over the last three months.

Specialising in Irish Racing, they provide 1-2 tips per day, that are normally sent out the evening before racing or early in the morning.

The results coming into our trial were very impressive and so we had high expectations at the outset of our testing period.

And boy they did not disappoint!

Just under 100 points profit at advised prices, at an exceptional return on investment of 37% are some of the best results we have ever seen from a horse racing tipster.

And with a strike rate of 59%, the rate of winners was very high and the drawdowns have been minimal to non-existent.

As you can see from the profit graph below, it was very smooth and steady progress during our trial:

Classic Racing Gold Profit Graph

With the tips being virtually all in Irish racing, the liquidity isn’t quite as strong as in UK racing and prices do get hit quite significantly, so if you still have access to bookie accounts then you want to get your bets on as soon as possible after you receive the tips.

However, even if you’ve lost all your bookie accounts, then you can still use Betfair, as the results at Betfair SP were good too, with 48 points profit made over the trial – so exactly half of the profits achieved at advised prices.

All in all then Classic Racing Gold is undoubtedly one of the best services we have come across in the dozens of systems we have tested here at Honest Betting Reviews.

So it’s no surprise to say this receives a passed rating – with bells on!

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Good customer service, with warnings about when tips will be sent out and consistent timings – normally in the evening around 8 or 9pm or in the morning around 7am or 8am. 

Availability of prices: As mentioned above, the prices do get squeezed in quite significantly between when they are sent out and the off, so you want to get your bets on asap or you will risk losing some of the value. However, a good profit was still made at Betfair SP, testifying to the edge over the market they have.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 59%, which is exceptionally high for a horse racing service and means lots of winners and minimal losing streaks. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial, which was always comfortable and we think should be sufficient with such a high strike rate.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are good value for a service of this quality at £60 per month, £150 per quarter or £250 for 6 months. Certainly we have seen services charge much more than this without having results of this quality. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

It has been a magnificent trial for Classic Racing Gold, who have amassed just shy of 100 points profit at advised prices during our three month trial.

That comes on the back of 350 points profit made prior to our trial.

Amazingly the return on investment of 37% during our trial matched very closely their long term level of 34%, which means our results are very similar to what they have achieved over the last year.

With a strike rate of 59% meaning a high number of winners and minimal losing streaks, this ticks just about all the boxes in terms of a top tipster.

Results at Betfair SP were quite a bit lower, but were still close to 50 points profit at a return on investment of 18%, which is mighty impressive in itself.

This goes right in at the top with the very best tipsters we have ever come across and needless to say gets a recommended rating.

Get yourself signed up as soon as possible just in case they decide to close the doors anytime soon!

Classic Racing Gold – Final Review

15th July 2016

The superb form continues for Classic Racing Gold, who are looking mightily impressive so far.

They have added a further 38 points of profit at advised prices since our last update a month ago.

That means they are now 63 points in profit for the trial so far.

You can view full results here.

There have been some fantastic runs for them lately, including nine winners (and a place) out of ten bets and they have just come off 4 winners and 2 places out of their last six bets.

The Betfair SP results have been a little lower – although still impressive – having made 26 points profit so far.

So you do need to get your bets on quickly after tips are sent out. The nice thing is that they don’t just quote the best price available but one that is available with more than bookies, so you have a good chance of matching their results. 

Anyway, fantastic results so far and we may have found something special here in the form of Classic Racing Gold.

Back soon with more updates.

Classic Racing Gold – Results Update

16th June 2016

There has been excellent progress from Classic Racing Gold since our last update three weeks ago. 

They have added 26 points of profit in that time to stand at 25 points up for the trial so far to advised prices and 6 points up at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Results were helped with a very nice winner at Royal Ascot on Tuesday in the shape of Jennies Jewel, who won at 10/1 for them in the Ascot Stakes.

As we said in our last update, there is a lot to like about this service. Warning is given when bets will be sent and they don’t always just record the best available price, but what is generally available amongst the bookies.

So if you take into account the 350 points profit made prior to our trial starting, this is looking awfully good so far.

Back soon more updates.

Classic Racing Gold – Results Update

26th May 2016

It’s been a quiet start so far to our trial of Classic Racing Gold. After two weeks they are 1 point down at advised prices and 5 points down at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

It’s very early days as we are only two weeks into the trial, so far too early obviously to start making any judgements.

However, what we do really like is that in terms of their published results, Classic Racing Gold don’t always record the best available bookie price, but often the next price below that.

Very few tipsters do that and it is great to see. It means on the one hand you are getting a more realistic sense of what the results you might obtain when following the service are, but on the other hand if you are really fast on the buzzer then you could actually beat their published results.

It is also nice to see that they normally give you a heads up as to when bets will be sent out and which bookies you need.

Excellent then so far in terms of customer service and the past results are superb, so all we need is to see that kind of form replicated and we could be in for something special.

Back soon with more updates.

Classic Racing Gold – New Review

10th May 2016

A while ago we reviewed a service called Racing Gold here at Honest Betting Reviews and gave it a firm thumbs up after it amassed 158 points profit during our trial.

Well today we have a similar-sounding service called Classic Racing Gold – which shouldn’t be confused with the other Racing Gold mentioned above.

The two services are in fact completely separate and have nothing to do with one another.

However, the one thing they do have in common is outstanding results!

Classic Racing Gold has been around since August 2015 and to date has made a superb 350 points profit at a return on investment of 33%.

Eight out of the nine completed months so far have been profitable and to be fair the losing month only lost 5 points, where as some of the winning months have been over 70 points in profit.

The service specialises in Irish racing, which is a first for us here at Honest Betting Reviews as all the other tipsters we have reviewed have specialised in British racing.

So it will be interesting to see how prices hold up for Irish racing and if there are any significant differences to betting on British racing.

There looks like just 1-2 bets per day, so the workload should be fairly low with this service.

We will run our normal three month trial for Classic Racing Gold and will report back on how things are going shortly.

In the meantime you can check out Classic Racing Gold here.

 

 

Back and Win – Final Review

We have reached the end of our three month trial of Back and Win and here are the final results:

 

Profit/loss:  +87 points  
Strike Rate:    87%
Bank Growth:    58%
Cost:   £49 + VAT/month for one service or £69 + VAT/month for both 
ROI:   10%
Average number of bets:    9 per day
VERDICT:   PASSED

Back and Win – Full Review

 

We were quite skeptical at the outset of our trial of Back and Win, primarily because it is a “stop at a winner” system, which we would normally dismiss out of hand.

Added to that, in the information given after you sign up, they talk about not being interested in value but instead finding winners, which is against conventional wisdom in betting.

However, we always let results speak for themselves and give every system a chance to prove itself.

And we are pleased to say Back and Win has overcome our initial skepticism and achieved success during our trial.   

The two systems delivered 87 points overall over the course of the trial, which is most commendable.

The bank grew nicely over the course of the three months we used the systems and was never in danger of being lost. 

Our only real criticism of the service is the lack of clear instruction on how to utilise it.

This is a fairly major omission, as it would really not be hard to provide some instructions and would save users a lot of time figuring out how to operate the stop at a winner systems – but we will delve into that further below.

Overall, despite this one criticism, we do think Back and Win has delivered some impressive results during our trial and are happy to give it a recommended rating.

 

How it Works

When you join Back and Win, you can choose from three options:

  1. Get the Sure Certs Selections, which are 3 bets per day at £49 + VAT per month
  2. Get the Fire and Forget Selections, which are 6 bets per day at £49 + VAT per month
  3. Get both sets of selections for £69 + VAT per month

Then you need to login to the site each day to get the selections.

The selections – unusually – aren’t for a particular horse but for a given race and you just back the favourite in that race regardless of who it is and what the price is. 

 

Instructions – or lack thereof – on how to operate

Now when you join up and log in to Back and Win, there is some guidance on how to use the selections.

However, these are quite vague and do not contain any details of how to follow them on a “Stop at a Winner” basis.  

Given that the results on the website are presented on a stop at a winner basis and in the guidance it says “The best staking plan we have found to use since using these selections is the ‘Stop At A Winner’ staking plan,” you would expect there to be some instructions.

We can’t imagine anyone is going to sit at their laptop each day recalculating the stake for each selection, which is going to be very difficult when you don’t know until the off exactly what the SP will be, or in some tight races even who the favourite will be.

What was more frustrating for us was that when we e-mailed them asking for instructions on how to follow the selections on a stop at a winner basis, they had no explanation!

This is amazing as we would have thought they would be following the selections themselves or at least investigated for their members how to do this.

But alas not, so we were left to figure it out for ourselves.

Thankfully the good folk (i.e. Alistair) at the Bet Engine were more helpful and gave us pointers on to how to set up the bot.

So you can set things up to be automated and you just need to enter the relevant races each day and the bot will do the rest and place the bets for you on Betfair.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

We are pleased that our initial skepticism with Back and Win seems to have been misplaced and that they have generated decent returns during our trial.

A profit of 87 points across the two systems is very good going and our bank was never in jeopardy during the trial.

However, the lack of instructions on how to set up the stop at a winner system from them is poor frankly and leads us to downgrade this by at least half a star.

And a warning that if you want to automate this – which we would very much recommend – then you will need a subscription to a bot on top of the subscription to the service.

We use the Bet Engine, which currently costs from £12.50 per month after a free 7 day trial.

All in all we are happy to give Back and Win a recommended verdict but do think some improvements need to be made in terms of customer service.

Back and Win – Results Update

10th July 2016

It has been a good time for Back and Win, who have added a further 33 points profit since our last update to sit at 63 points profit overall for the trial.

You can view full results here.

That breaks down as 23 points profit for the Sure Certs and 40 points profit for the Fire and Forget Selections.

Just to recap, Back and Win is a “stop at a winner” system with two sets of selections (as above) with the former having 3 potential selections per day and the latter 6.

You always bet on the favourite and keep increasing your stakes until you hit a winner.

So far, the worst loss we have had for is -15 points when all the selections lost for both services on the same day (16th May).

Just a short note as well that we missed the selections on 2nd July, when apparently the F&F Selections won but the SC selections lost.

Back soon with our final review of Back and Win.

Back and Win – Results Update

13th June 2016

It’s been an up and down time for Back and Win since our last update just over a month ago. 

Our results have them on 30 points in profit overall, a six point improvement over last time.

You can view full results here.

However, unfortunately our reviewer was travelling on 23rd May (well, it was fortunate for him!) and missed the selections that day. Those selections both lost, with the Sure Certs losing  2 points and the Fire and Forget Selections 15 points we understand.

So in fact, the results should actually be 13 points in profit overall from using both services. Not bad by any means, but not as good as our results spreadsheet shows.

Anyway, back soon with more updates.

 

 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Back and Win – Results Update

9th May 2016

After getting a series of e-mails about a betting system called Back and Win, we decided to test it out.

The e-mails claimed some fairly incredible results, with a 99% strike rate for one of the systems and 100% for the other!

So how has it performed in testing?

Well so far the results have stacked up against the claims made in their e-mails.

We have had 12 betting days so far with both systems – the “Sure Certs” and “Fire and Forget” systems – and both have won each day, so 12 points profit has been accumulated for each system.

So that’s 24 points profit in total so far. 

You can view full results here.

But – and you may have sensed there was a “but” coming – these are essentially “stop at a winner” systems whereby you are increasing your stake until you hit a winner.

You are always backing favourites, so to recover your stakes on previous selections and still win 1 point, by the end of the day you can be backing 50 or 60 points on the final selection if you haven’t had a winner yet.

So let’s say you are making 25 points profit per month. Just one bad day could wipe out two months’ work.

That is the risk you are taking, on the Fire & Forget Selections at least, where there are 6 selections per day.

The risk isn’t as high on the Sure Certs Selections, where you are backing just three selections per day.

The test of the systems will be to see how long they can go before hitting a losing day and then the question will be seeing how we can deal with losing a big chunk of the bank in one go.

We also found the instructions for the systems a little confusing.

In the information provided when you log in, there is a table provided with a £2 – £4 – £10 – £20 staking plan. 

However, this would not allow you to match their results of 1 point profit each day. 

Below the table it says:

“The best staking plan we have found to use since using these selections is the ‘Stop At A Winner’ staking plan, whereby you take into consideration any losses from previous selections, with you then staking sufficient money on the next selection, this allowing you to recover your previous losses, and at the same time win your intended daily profit.”

Upon e-mailing them, they supplied a stop-at-a-winner calculator and said I could use a bot to follow the selections, but did not provide instructions for how to set up the bot to follow their systems.

It would be much more helpful if the stop-at-a-winner calculator and bot instructions were provided when signing up, either by e-mail or through the website login.

Anyway, that is just our opinion. So far we would say that the systems are performing well but come with a significant health warning.

We will of course keep monitoring results for three months and will be back with another update soon.

In the meantime, you can check out Back and Win here.

Back and Win – New Review

25th April 2016

We have been getting lots of e-mails about a service called Back and Win, which claims some pretty astonishing results.

It has two categories of selections: The “Fire and Forget” selections which they claim have a 100% strike rate and the “Sure Certs” selections which they say have a 99% strike rate.

Going back to August 2015, the former have supposedly amassed 186 points profit, while the latter have made 175 points profit. 

Having had a look at the results published on the website, this appears to be a “stop at a winner” system that requires you to back a number of horses until you hit a winner and then to stop.

We are not sure what kind of staking system is used but imagine it must be some kind of ratcheting system.

Such things are normally dangerous and not for the risk-averse, but given the results we think this one is at least worth checking out and seeing if it lives up to the rather spectacular billing.

So we will get a trial underway and will report back soon with our findings.

In the meantime you can check out Back and Win here.

Consistent Forex Trades – Full Review

 

We recently decided to expand our range here at Honest Betting Reviews and start looking at some forex and stockmarket systems in an attempt to find some money-making strategies.

So we started a trial of Consistent Forex Trades back in March and have just come to the end of our three month trial.

What are our findings then? Have we uncovered a forex trading gem?

Well sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case.

After three months we have finished 286 pips down, which when you add in the subscriptions costs of £100 + tax per month (following the first month at £1) then it has been quite an expensive trial.

What’s more, we have received no signals since 17th June, so well over two weeks which is a little strange and frustrating when you are paying over £100 per month to receive them.

We should stress that we were just trading the weekly “set and forget” signals and not the intraday signals. 

So all in all we have to give this a FAILED rating and to move on elsewhere.

Consistent Forex Trades Profit Graph

As you can see from the graph above, things were badly in the minus for most of the trial before making a recovery at the end.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The service is fairly straightforward to use, with signals sent out on a Sunday and then you can just set up the trades and forget about them. Simples!

Availability of prices: The recommended prices were generally always available or a tick or two either way.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 38%, which is well below the advertised 75% success rate.

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 1500 pip bank for the trial which seemed sufficient at the outset but did get threatened when we were 1200 pips down at one stage.  

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are quite high at £1 for the first month then £99.99 per month.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

We had fairly high hopes coming into our trial of Consistent Forex Trades. 

They had been averaging over 400 pips per month prior to our trial, which is pretty impressive stuff.

But sadly as we see so many times, that kind of performance wasn’t achieved during our live trial and in fact a loss of 286 pips was recorded.

Whilst that was not a huge loss in itself, when coupled with the high subscription costs of £100 + taxes per month, we felt this wasn’t a service we could continue following.

So it is unfortunately a FAILED rating for Consistent Forex Trades and on to the next system…

Consistent Forex Trades – Results Update

22nd May 2016

Things have continued to be a bit of a struggle for Consistent Forex Trades, who have lost a further 106 pips since our last update to sit at 479 pips down for the trial as a whole.

You can view full results here.

These results are for the set and forget trades, which are sent out on Sunday and then you can just put the orders in on your account and sit back and see what happens.

Sadly so far things during our trial haven’t matched the results coming into it, so hopefully things will pick over the remainder of the trial.

Back soon with further updates.

Consistent Forex Trades – Results Update

26th April 2016

It’s been a tough start to our trial of Consistent Forex Trades, a forex signals service from a guy called Roger Elliot.

The service has two different types of signal – intraday signals that are designed to be primarily traded each day, and the weekly “set and forget” signals that are sent out on Sunday and set up for the week, then you can just forget about them. 

We have just been following the “set and forget” signals for reasons of time constraints and these are 373 pips down so far after just under one month.

You can view full results here.

We understand the intraday signals are 328 pips down, so it has been a disappointing start for Consistent Forex Trades overall.

However, it is still early days and plenty of time to turn things around, so let’s hope for an improvement from the service soon.

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Consistent Forex Trades – New Review

28th March 2016

Today we are starting a new trial of a forex signals service called Consistent Forex Trades.

What I initially liked about this service was the lack of over-hyped sales nonsense that you see with so many forex and trading services.

It just explains straight up what the service is and what it is not.

So no scammy and annoying videos and attempted up-selling, just an explanation that you are provided with weekly forex and equity price reaction trading levels and signals.

The service is run by a guy called Roger Elliot and there are basically three parts to it:

  1. The Pullback – this is where Roger expects a price to pull back to a certain level, then move off in the original direction it was going in before the pullback. You need to wait for the price to reach the pullback level before executing the trade.
  2. The Direction – this is when Roger sees the price moving in one predominant direction for the week and trades are normally on a 1:1 ratio in terms of risk to reward.
  3. Set and Forget – Roger will provide selections on a Sunday and you just input the orders and forget about them – until they have either won or lost. Simples!

So plenty of options there for you to play around with depending on your preferences for trading.

We will focus on the set and forget signals as those will be the most straightforward to monitor and where there should be no ambiguity in terms of the results.

Consistent Forex Trades

With the other ones, there will be a degree of personal judgement as to where to enter and exit trades so two people could get quite different results. 

You can get a 4 week trial for just £1, which is a very good way to see which of the methods is best for you.

Apparently the signals have a 75% success record, which is very impressive.

In the 10 months it has been running, the service claims to have made just under 4,000 pips profit, which is just under 400 pips per month. Not bad at all, even if you are just trading at £1 per pip.

So hopefully the trades will continue to achieve consistency and deliver decent profits over the trial.

Back soon with our first update on how things are progressing.

In the meantime, you can check out Consistent Forex Trades here.

Ultimate Horse Power – Final Review

Oh dear.

What can we say really?

Sometimes everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.

This has been the case for Ultimate Horse Power sadly, who on 26th May reached the disappointing point of having blown the whole advised 100 point bank.

You can view full results here.

Any service that reaches that point has to be an automatic fail really. 

You can debate whether the advised bank should have been bigger, and with a strike rate of 17%, there is an argument that it should have been quite a bit more substantial.

However, we can only go with is advised at the outset of our trial and on that basis the whole bank was lost.

Sometimes that just happens in betting, occasionally any service can hit a horror run.

But in the sink-or-swim world of tipping, anything that doesn’t excel sadly falls by the wayside and so with 100 points lost in a month, Ultimate Horse Power is one such service.

OVERALL RATING: FAILED

Ultimate Horse Power – Results Update

13th May 2016

It seems like the reviewer’s curse has struck again.

So often it seems like a tipster or betting system has a brilliant record and promises great levels of return.

But then for some reason, as soon as you start a review of said product, things go pear-shaped.

This has been the case so far with Ultimate Horse Power, which had made a superb 230 points profit coming into our trial, with an average monthly profit of 59 points.

However, unfortunately after three weeks of the trial we are 44 points down.

You can view full results here.

All bets are placed at Betfair SP and a bot can be used for placing the bets, as there are a large number of bets each day. 

It is early days of course, so plenty of time to turn things around and get back to winning ways for Ultimate Horse Power.

Back soon with more updates.

Ultimate Horse Power – New Review

25th April 2016

There are generally two approaches to betting on the horses.

One is to take a very selective approach, scanning the races very carefully and only choosing those one or two bets each day that really stand out.

Then there is the other approach that focuses on high volume betting, backing 10-20 horses per day and looking to take advantage of a small edge over the market that repeated many times, will add up to big profits over time.

There is no “wrong” or “right” approach as such – both can work well.

However, the latter can certainly build a bank more quickly and tends to lead to higher profit levels at the end of an extended period of say a year.

And it is into this latter category that our latest trialist falls.

Ultimate Horse Power is a relatively new service to the reputable Pro Betting Club stable and has amassed an impressive record so far.

After 4 months, the service is over 230 points in profit.

That works out at 59 points profit per month, a very decent average.

And April is going well so far too, with over 30 points profit accumulated to date in the month.

The good thing is that the results are recorded at Betfair SP, which is reassuring and means you know you can match their results.

As we say, there are a large number of bets each day – often between 20 and 30 – so if you were doing things manually then it could take a bit of time to place the bets.

However, if time is an issue then you can use a bot to place the bets for you. Full instructions of how to set up the Bet Engine bot to place bets for you are given on the Pro Betting Club website.

A 100 point bank is advised for the service, so hopefully that will be enough to cover losing runs and give us steady returns.

Anyway, without further ado, we are pleased to get our trial of Ultimate Horse Power underway and we will return soon with our first update.

In the meantime, you can check out Ultimate Horse Power here.

The Aussie Method – Avoid this Scam

We recently did a review of the Brit Method, a system that promises to make you hundreds of thousands of pounds per month at no cost.

We revealed that system was a scam and warned you to stay away from it.

So the other day when we received an e-mail about something called the Aussie Method, we were keen to check out what it was all about.

Sadly our suspicious that this is a close relation to the Brit Method were confirmed and we would make the same comments as we did about that system – stay away from the Aussie Method, it reeks of a scam.

Here we go through things and look at the rather glaring warning signs.

 

Hmm, haven’t I seen this before somewhere?

The e-mail itself leaves quite a lot to be desired. 

Instead of addressing it to me or a generic “Dear Investor,” it starts “Hi {first name}.” Not a great start.

Then I am told that a guy called Louis apparently made $764,050 from the system.

So let’s say you suspended your disbelief and clicked through to the Aussie Method in search of untold riches. What would you find? 

Well the first thing you notice when you click on the Aussie Method website is it looks exactly like the Brit Method. Same layout, same colour scheme – and even the same bloke in the top right hand corner.

Except this time he isn’t called Jason Taylor – he’s called Jake Pertu!

Maybe that’s meant to be more of an Aussie-sounding name than Jason Taylor, I don’t know.

And these aren’t the only two versions of this system – before that there was the Canuck Method, with the same guy again but that time he was called Jake Mason.

For some reason they seem to like the guy’s name to start with a J…

Anyway, the picture of the guy is actually just a stock image that you can purchase from a picture site and it features across the internet on everything from “Kelly Clarkson’s unborn child” to “Top 10 grocery shopping mistakes,” and the “Lucky Rich Kid Method,”   plus a bunch of other sites that have nothing to do with the Aussie Method.

 

Implausible Sales Claims

Sometimes we see horse racing or football betting systems that claim to make thousands of pounds per month and it immediately sets alarm bells ringing if the results seem too good to be true.

So when you receive an e-mail that claims to make you “20 years wages in 29 days,” you would be foolish not to be very suspicious.

Then when you click through to the Aussie Method, you are greeted with video messages (which you can’t pause or stop – argh!) from people claiming to have made $500,000 in a month from using the system.

Now if you haven’t already dismissed it as a scam before now, you certainly should be upon seeing these ridiculous claims.

Firstly, the videos are from paid actors from the contracting website Fiverr.com.

Secondly, if these people were really making half a million dollars per month, why on earth are they making videos in cheap-looking sets instead of partying on their yachts in the Caribbean?

In fact, maybe it would be a bit more believable if they did have videos of people in yachts or driving their new Ferraris rather than sitting in rather basic accommodation.

And then let’s just think – half a million dollars per month, that would be 6 million dollars per year.

Do you think if people were really making six million dollars per year through an internet system, it might have been on the news or lots of people would be talking about it?

The simple lesson is that if something seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is. With this one, you don’t need to be a genius to see this is too outlandishly good to be true.

 

Fake Testimonials

An obvious way to try and make yourself look legit is to have lots of success stories and testimonials from people apparently testifying to the quality of your system.

However, it doesn’t take a great deal of interrogating to see that these testimonials are not genuine.

Firstly, we have the success stories.

These are pretty lame, let’s face it. Just some pictures of text messages on an iphone. Anyone could set up some text messages saying a system is good – not the toughest thing in the world.

The same thing with the Twitter and Facebook posts below. What’s interesting is that the posts are all weirdly one minute apart – could that just be a coincidence?

But then we have the “Live Third Party Verified Results.”

Now these results, if they were real, could actually be meaningful.

However, we are not told what the “Third Party” site is – nor can you click through to it!

So how are we to know if these are results are real or verify them for ourselves? Well sadly we can’t, which rather defeats the purpose of having so-called “verified” results.

 

How it Claims to make you Money

In the same way as the Brit Method, the Aussie Method promises to make you money through Binary Options trading. 

The system is supposedly fully automated software for trading such options, so you just have to switch it on and “hey presto” you will be making $800 – $1,000 daily.

It doesn’t explain how exactly the software works and how they came up with a system that makes this much money, but hey, who are we to question?

Although it says the system doesn’t cost anything, in order to use it you will need to deposit money into accounts with Binary Options brokers and then trade with that money.

The people who make the Aussie Method will then cream off commissions from the money you have deposited to these brokers – and you will then be inundated with phone calls from the brokers encouraging you to trade more. That is perhaps more annoying than the system itself.

Anyway, you are highly unlikely to make $800 – $1,000 daily from this. In fact you will probably lose money and possibly quite a lot.

There are quite a few scams involving binary options trading at the moment. It seems that this little-understood form of trading is ripe for wheeling people in to scams and the like.

Our final advice is to keep your money in your wallet and avoid this like the plague. 

We just wait to see what the next version will be – the Kiwi Method? The French Method? The Turkish method?

Who knows…but perhaps they will have another actor with a name beginning with J.
