Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide a free trial?

• No. Like most services we will experience good and bad runs. Any serious punter will be aware of this and will look at the long-term performance of any tipster service. Therefore, giving a short free trial period is of no benefit to either us or you. Because our subscription prices are considerably lower than most, you have little to lose by signing up.

How much should I stake?

• The amount to stake is a matter for each individual. How much can you afford to lose and how big is your bank? We strongly advise that you start with small stakes and be patient. When you have increased your bank, then consider increasing your stakes. That way you are gambling with profits.

How do I know if I have been charged for a tip?

• You will only be charged for winning tips whose SP is less than 3/1. Each time you receive our selections your current tips balance will be included.

Do you recommend a staking plan?

• For lay bets we recommend using a level stake. We also strongly recommend that you do not lay our selections if the price is 3/1 or more.

Do I need to be at a computer all day?

• No. You need access to the internet to receive our emails and to place your bets. Once you receive our tips, you can place all your bets in just a few minutes. If you want to place bets closer to the event time you can use a lay bot. We recommend Laybotpro. This is an easy to use, reliable bot with various staking options (works only on Betfair).

What happens if I go on holiday?

• 1. You can set up a webmail account such as Gmail or Hotmail which is accessible anywhere in the world. You then set up auto-forwarding on your email account to have all messages automatically forwarded to your webmail account. You can then access our tips all over the globe. You will also need to bring your log-in details for the betting exchange of your choice.
  2. You can let us know seven days in advance that you will be away and we can suspend your account for the specified period (we can only do this for occasional breaks and not on a regular basis or for short or repetitive periods e.g. one day or every Sunday).

Do I need to know anything about horseracing?

• No. We make selections and you can just lay these selections without needing to know anything about form, jockeys, trainers etc. All you need to know is how to log on to the internet and receive emails. When you subscribe for the first time, if you request it we can send you full instructions on how to create and use a Betfair account and you can even get £25 worth of free bets to get you started.

If your selections are so good, why are you selling this information?

• Since the major betting exchanges attract huge amounts of money, making this information available will have no effect on prices. Many races will have millions of pounds in the market, so we are just a drop in the ocean. Realistically we would prefer to gain some income from sharing our information rather than placing larger stakes. And everybody benefits.

Is this legal?

• Laws relating to gambling vary from country to country, and sometimes even within the same country. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are not in breach of your country's laws. We are simply selling information which you may or may not choose to use. Many newspapers offer daily tips and our service is similar (but we think much better) to this.

Will I make a lot of money following your advice?

• We would love to be able to say Yes, but we would prefer to be completely open and honest. Our stats show laying our selections since the service started would have produced a profit. That profit would depend on how much you staked. The higher the stakes, the higher the profit. However, the higher the stakes the higher also the risk. As with any investment which relies on performance which cannot be 100% accurately predicted, there is an element of risk. Our trend graph will show many spikes and dips but the overall trend is profitable. If you joined before one of our dips, you would start off by losing, but if you joined just before one of our spikes, you would quickly move into profit. Our product is not designed for short-term speculation and our aim is to be modestly profitable over the long term.
