Horse Race Predictor
Still relatively quiet on the products front but The Horse Race Predictor may be one to watch…
The Horse Race Predictor
Cost: 5 day trial £9.95 then £77.00 per month
thereafter.
The Trial: We have been informed by the owner that this site is geared
for the professional punters among you.
Although there is a plethora of information available for us to make our
betting decision you are invited to follow along with one or more of the 4
“Gurus” found under the Club Betting heading.
The “Gurus” will make daily selections and use proprietary progressive staking while
generally stopping at a winner when the betting bank has increased by a target
percentage. It is therefore important to follow the action or use a bot to
ensure that you make the most of the selections.
Having followed one Guru named “Method Maker”, whose intention has been to take a betting bank of £500.00 with the aim of doubling it every month until it reaches a goal of £30,000.00.
The records to 5th March showed that since October
last year his bank had increased to £5370.00 which then increased to the 18th
of the month to £7280.00 (and that was after £4000.00 had been removed from the
account).
There are a number of chat lines which allow you, as a subscriber, to have your
questions answered, and make comments throughout the day. Many people we know
just prefer the bet and forget approach but this service can also be used on
that basis.
Using the daily ratings, where every UK and Irish race is given a top-rated
horse, you can select one bet a day.
Having tried this exercise over an 18 day period we had 13 winners and 6 losers with a longest winning run of six bets on the bounce and the longest losing run of 2 bets (twice).
Based on level stakes betting our initial bank was up 18% and had we employed the progressive staking it would have increases by 33%, with both results being recorded at Betfair SP and after having deducted 5% commission.
Conclusion: A good start and you can find out more here.

Braveheart
Cost: £40.00 per month
The Trial: We have come to the end of our 3 month review of Braveheart which has 3 picks in each of 2 races to give 9 cross doubles on days where there are selections.
Overall we showed a loss of just a shade off 75 points.
We are sure it must feel good to land a 126/1 double but during our trial the win frequency just wasn’t high enough to maintain a profit.
Conclusion: Not one for us.
Horse 4 Course Race Tips
Cost: £10.00 First month Special Offer / then £20.00 per month thereafter.
The Trial: Since the middle of February we’ve received reports from nine meetings from Dee Thompson, seven from Newcastle and one from each of Catterick and Carlisle.
At most of these the weather had been pretty bad, with rain and strong winds which meant that the horses were paraded for less time than normal and kept covered until mounted. Consequently, Dee had less opportunity to assess the runners’ condition and express an opinion on the likely winner.
Of the 59 race reports the most likely winner was tipped 38 times with 8 of these being correct.
Had you backed one point at SP there would have been a loss of 7 points overall, which in fairness to the conditions was not bad.
Conclusion: Not a complete white wash so we will stick with and see what the Flat Turf season brings. Find out more here.
Horse Racing Network
Cost: £29.99 per month / £74.99 per quarter – 14 day money back guarantee.
The Trial: On a positive note the service produced a latest month’s profit of over 77 points to the advised prices, but the sheer number of bets meant that it was impossible to record and compare against the actual obtained prices.
During the month there were 279 single bets plus multiples producing 56 winners bringing the cumulative position to 68/366 winners and a profit of 65.27 points.
Conclusion: It would be very difficult to match all of the advised prices, and realistically profits would be lower than stated. We’ll watch for another month..
