FAQs August 20th, 2008
Are the tips really free?
Yes, all of our tips are 100% free - We’ll never ask you for money, or ask you to call any premium rate numbers to get our tips. We’ll even deliver them into your inbox free of charge before the days races, so you have plenty of time to get your bets on.
Are the tips any good?
Well, we certainly think so - and the stats back us up. All of our previous tips are available to see online, so you can check for yourself how well we do with our tips. As with all tipsters, we cannot predict every winner of every race. What we can do however is help you win more often - The odds of randomly picking a winner in an eight horse race are 12.5%, meaning you would lose your money 87.5% of the time (It’s easy to see how the bookies make their money, isn’t it!), whereas with our tips we have an average success rate of 40%, meaning you profit from long term betting by winning more often than betting on your own.
How should I place my bets?
When we send you the tips, we’ll tell you where you can find the best odds for that horse or race. As a rule, it’s worth holding accounts with three or four bookies to ensure you get the best returns (as odds vary greatly from one bookie to another) as well as spreading your exposure. We recommend 888sport, Blue Square, Bet365 and Coral as the main bookmakers worth holding an account with for your betting.
How much should I bet?
We tell you how much to bet based on a points system, so your budget can dictate how much 1 point is worth. If you’re just betting for a bit of fun, you might want to make 1 point = 10p, or if you’re a serious player, then you may prefer 1 point = £10. Remember though, that you should only ever bet as much as you can afford to lose - Our tips are not guaranteed, and you place bets at your own risk. Also bear in mind that many bookies have stake limits on some races, so you may not be able to bet huge sums on all races.
Won’t the Bookies ban me if I keep winning?
That’s really unlikely, unless you are consistently winning very, very heavily (tens of thousands of pounds a week) at the same bookie, hence why we advise holding three or four accounts with different bookies.
