Auto Betting Labs

This month in the labs we have had four tests going on. They are the Lay%, Place Bot, Spreadtrade and UKHorseracing.tv.

They are at various stages of progress and refinement and below you will find notes and updates on each.

Back Tipster
You will remember from the January issue that Back Tipster is a service that is totally automated, although it is not something of my making I decided to include it in this column as it is totally automated.
To recap the service provides selections that are to be bet to a staking plan. The user supplies their Betfair credentials to the website and all bets are placed for the user without any further input required, other than to check what profit has been made. Or as it turns out to check what loss has been made.

In this issue I’d like to talk a bit about using the ladder stakes feature. This has been a staple option for quite some time now however with some of the recent updates in the version 3 cluster it can be used in quite an interesting way.In this issue I’d like to talk a bit about using the ladder stakes feature.

Speed ratings can be obtained from the Racing Post, as well as being sold by many different companies. Some people live by speed ratings, whilst some like to use them in conjunction with other methods. However, most people who are successful at betting will acknowledge that speed ratings are definitely something that should be used in one way or another.

The Perfect Punter tipping service made a big splash early in March with some very impressive claimed results and also some big winning days in the first few days of the service. (Sid has reviewed this service earlier in this report)

Prior to going live it was proofed to members of the Racing Investors Club where it performed very well also.

Product Overview

The Perfect Punter is a straight forward tipping service for backing horses to win or place at value prices on the flat meetings in the UK.

Quick on the Draw

Product Name: Quick on the Draw
Supplier/Author: Sportsworld Publishing/Steve Carter
Website: www.sportsworldpublishing.net
Price: £79
Category: Horse Racing Backing System

Product Overview

The system comes as a well written eighteen page booklet explaining how a situation has been identified where the backer has a definite advantage over the layer in certain horse races. It goes on to explain how this is best exploited together with suggested money management and a summary of last year’s results.

Summary

The rules of the system are easy to follow and should take no more than five minutes to identify selections on a day when there is a qualifying meeting using any newspaper or online race card. Everybody should get the same selections. The test period was from the 18th February through till 2nd April when six qualifying races were identified which meant backing eighteen horses and resulted in three winners with average BSPs of 13.5 (100/8 in old money) after deduction of commission. This gave a net profit of 22.86 points for an ROI of 127%.

Flat turf racing takes place in the UK between late March and early November on Turf. There is also all weather racing on the artificial surfaces at Great Leigh’s, Lingfield, Southwell, Wolverhampton and Kempton all year round. The main All Weather season starts in December.

We have now entered the transitional period between the end of the proper winter jumps season and the beginning of the flat season. This period can throw up some strange results the layers can take advantage of.

Serious layers should now be preparing to focus their efforts on flat racing.

The Curious case of Jenson Button

Since my article in last month’s report, Formula 1 has been turned on its head. There was talk about KERS playing a big part in this years championship. And it has, but nothing has changed things like Mr Button’s Brawn GP car has.

If you look through last months report and you will see no mention of Button or his car, other than a sporting bet 150/1 for his team to win the constructors championship.

Buttons career was going in reverse the past year and his team Honda had pulled out of F1.

Two weeks before the first race on 29th March he had no team, no car, no job.
