One Of My Favourite Tipping Services – A Review Of The Midas Method
By Chris • May 14th, 2010 • Category: Betting System Reviews, Featured, Gambling Products For Sale On ClickbankI often get asked if there are any tipping services that I recommend punters should look at (apart from my own!)
I usually resist the urge to mention my personal favourites because I like to keep the really good services to myself!
However, I have decided to tell you about one service that I have used for a few years and which I feel is worth your while looking at.
It is called The Midas Method and you can find the website by clicking this link. The site doesn’t look very professional – indeed, your first thought is probably that it looks like those sites that sell rather dodgy ’systems’.
However, I have found that it usually pays to look beyond first impressions and look at results.
Midas Method runs 2 services – a ‘win & place’ horse race tipping service plus a horse-race lay tipping service. It is the lay tipping service that I want to concentrate on.
The service provides just 2 selections on most days in a month, and is a ’stop at a loser’ system. In short, if the first lay selection is successful, then you don’t lay the 2nd selection.
If the first lay is unsuccessful, then the recommendation is to lay the 2nd selection with an increased stake to get some loss recovery. Now i am not a fan of loss-recovery systems – but this is a service where loss-recovery does make sense.
The main problem with any form of loss-recovery is that if you have a run of bad results, then you are invariably placing bigger & bigger stakes on each bet to try to recover the increasing losses. There is always the possibility with such systems that the run of bad results will be such that you end up losing your entire betting bank. Not a good outcome!
However, loss-recovery does make sense if you know that losing runs are restricted to only one or two selections maximum. And this is the big strength of the Midas Method.
The past results are extremely good and show strike-rates that are in the upper 90s over the past 6+ years! I can vouch for the accuracy of the past results data – all lay selections that are shown really were the only selections that were provided to members. ie there has been no ‘fiddling’ of past results to make things look good.
Selections are provided every day by logging in to a Members Area. Lays are usually priced at Betfair odds of about 4.5 or less.
There is a 3-day trial subscription that costs just £4-20 (+VAT) and the regular monthly subscription is £59 + VAT (a bit on the steep side but the selections provided are good. If you have a big enough betting bank, then you should be able to cover the subscription every month.
Here is the l.ink again for the site:

Hi Chris
Interesting stuff, as usual. I for one have taken up the 3-day trial offer for next to nothing. Just one slightly scary thing though, before deciding whether or not to cough up the first big amount after three days: I tried Googling “Gilruth + scam” and am a little disturbed by one of the hits.
How well do you know this guy, and how long has he been delivering to goodies for you? I realise he may not be anything to do with that hit, but it’s a sufficiently unusual name to make me deeply suspicious, and I would welcome your opinion/comment on it.
I can’t say that I know rthe person behind The Midas Method. But I can say that I have subscribed on & off for long periods over the past 3-4 years. I have always received selections and can vouch that the results shown on the past performance tables agree with the selections that were actually given.
Obviously if you have any concerns about the integrity of any service, then don’t subscribe. Chris
OK, thanks for that. If you’ve known him for 3-4 years, that’s good enough for me to justify giving him a month to prove himself. 3 days, after all, won’t tell anyone very much, other than being able to read what is on his members’ website (all of which makes pretty good sense to me at first reading).
Hi -HorstRadisch you are two weeks into the first month with this guy – how are you doing ? — I just came on here today to have a look and i would not be impressed with this site — looks the usual gimmick stuff — i saw the googled info on the said Mr Gilruth — enough to put you off for life ….does anyone have any idea how hard it is to be consistent in this business. — Look at the Adrianmassey site – Forum – Horse Racing -Horse Racing Systems – 4*/5* , 40+ thread – 2 years in profit +200% each year and this year it is a flop — Myself i can analyise a race very well but it takes so much time — Most people are lazy (including myself) so ill look for consistent systems or threads — I have an offer from a mathematician and IT specialist to develop a computer system. I am woking on this at the moment and it is huge task. The thing is when and if it can be developed why would i even dream of selling it or its daily selections ??? why would i want to saturate the market with the real info ? when the word gets out every tom/dick and harry will be on those selections — Then it cant work — so these so called systems i believe are a gimmick — any system which has a few simple rules or rely on back-fitting will eventually fail — This is common knowledge — So its back to the dredge of form study old style — What time is it ?? oh my god have i been that long studying — i must go and feed the child — Let me know your thoughts
Regards

Hi Noel
I used it for three days out of about seven. The other days I was nowhere near a PC at the required time. One won. The others lost a packet.
I make a few bob these days betting on American sports, greyhounds and football, and was hoping to add horses to the list. I would have taken one day out of three losing with a pinch of salt, but two out of three coupled with what I (like you) had found via Google was enough for me to put the service on “block sender”.
