As you will know, I am always cautious about tipping services because there are so many bad services out there. But Steve has offered me a free subscription to his service so that I can check out first hand how well it performs.

This is always a good sign that a service deserves attention – after all, if the service was bad would any tipster dare offer a free trial?

So starting on 2nd Nov, I will post on here the day’s selections and results (obviously after the races have finished!)

The Flat Racing Select service specialises in UK All Weather handicaps between 2nd Nov 2009 and 31st Mar 2010.

You can find out more about the service by clicking here to visit the website.

Whilst August was a poor month, I want to explain in this post what I am doing and why the £100 Betting Bank Challenge is going in a slightly different direction.

In August, my betting bank made an overall loss of £66-40p. This was composed of a profit of £13-66p with horse racing lays and a loss of £80-06p on greyhounds.

Now – at first sight – it would look as if the greyhound lays have had a very bad run – but appearances can be deceptive!

During August, I started a series of tests for a completely new method of laying greyhounds. I am not going to go into too much detail – but basically, there has been something that I’ve observed on Betfair as bets are matched that I have never been able to understand.

I now believe that I know the answer! And if my answer is correct, then I have found a very profitable method for making money from greyhound laying.

To give you a feel for the profit potential, 10p lays can easily produce £2+ profit per day. That may not sound much – but just scale everything up and you’ll appreciate that it should be easy to pull £60-£100 per day from greyhound laying – even with the low liquidity for most greyhound races.

I still need to do a lot more testing of my technique to ensure that it is robust and will work day-after-day-after-day.

The video in early October covering September will give you an update as to how I’m progressing.

Tomorrow – Thurs 16th July at 10 am – sees the launch of the latest betting system product to hit the digital downloads from Clickbank. This one is called Supreme Handicap and you can find the website at www.SupremeHandicap.co.uk

This betting technique has been written by Andy White who has sent me a preview copy to review.

So what do you get for your money?

The download consists of a 25-page ebook plus an Excel spreadsheet to be used with the system; and 2 explanatory videos for the system and the spreadsheet.

The system is designed to pick horses that you can back.

Quite a bit of the ebook consists of “padding”. For example, it starts off with a brief history of racing in the UK plus a list of the main race meetings in the racing year.

This is then followed by factors that affect a race outcome and a section on how to use bookmakers’ sign up offers to make risk-free profit. Useful – but not the main core of the system that is being promoted.

The ‘guts’ of the system – ie the rules and procedure for selecting the horse(s) to back in particular races – starts on page 17.

The system is easy to follow and can be implemented without using the accompanying spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will however make life easier for some people.

The technique used is not one that I have seen before.

Does the system work?

As ever for most systems promoted with fancy websites and sold via Clickbank, this is where the Supreme Handicap system falls down badly.

In the ebook, the only proof is a table listing what the author claims are the total number of selections made by the system; and the number of winners for the years 2006-2009 inclusive. Hardly convincing stuff!

I am told by the author that there will be more proof on the sales page when it fully appears after 10am on Thursday 16th July. We shall see.

I am still unable to understand why so many system sellers seem incapable of registering a free proofing account with Racing-Index and getting at least some sort of independent proofing done to back up their performance claims.

If I can find the time, I will try using the system and post some selections on here to see how the selection process performs.

I have no idea how much the system will be sold for – but I daresay it will be in the £30-£50 range as most of them are.

Here’s the salespage link:

www.SupremeHandicap.co.uk

Latest news:

The salespage is now live and -as expected – the “proof” that the system works leaves a lot to be desired. There are screenshots purporting to show individual successful back bets. But even if these are not fakes, just one successful bet outcome tells us nothing about the long-term consistent (or otherwise) profitability of the betting technique.

My guess as to the price of the system was nearly spot-on – it is selling for £39-95p

Has anyone bought it yet? If so, give us your opinion.

During April, I used nothing but the horse race lay selections provided by the Logical Lay System.

You can see how I got on by clicking on the following link to view the video (it is only about 32 mins long):

Now that all 50 copies of the Greyhound Lays Exposed manual have been sold, it seemed unfair to only use greyhound lay bets selected using the information in Greyhound Lays Exposed. If i did, then you would not be able to place similar bets yourself because you probably wouldn’t have access to the information in Greyhound Lays Exposed.

I therefore decided to switch my selections from greyhounds to horses – and specifically, to use the Logical Lay System selections.

This will give those of you who so far haven’t bought the system and may be feeling a bit sceptical that it is any good, the chance to see it in action.

The good news is that there are far more lay bets per month. The bad news is that this results in much longer videos!

I have split March’s bets into a 2-part video:

For February, I added another betting technique from the Greyhound Lays Exposed ebook to give us even more bets per month.

So the February video features many more bets and is just over 40 mins long.

Did I retain my 100% strike-rate? Or has the Challenge hit disaster?

See you next month when the March bets video will be posted.
