Betting News

With no bets today I thought I'd catch up on a few e-mails, and happened to notice one from Betfair notifying me that their free bet offer for new accounts has just been increased from £25 to £50! The "catch" is that you have to bet on football, which shouldn't be a problem.

The offer lasts up until the end of the transfer window, so get it while you can. Oh, and it isn't advertised on the main Betfair website so to get it you need to click the banner above, or use the link below. Enjoy!

Free £50 bet from Betfair

You may remember that Betdaq used to offer a free bet when you joined them, but this was discontinued last autumn. Well I’m pleased to inform you that I’ve recently been told that the free bet is back – hopefully for good this time!

Why would you join Betdaq? Well for one thing, lower commission. There’s no premium charge on successful accounts, plus they offer just 2% commission for bets placed in running. There’s also the possibility of getting better odds. There may not be as much liquidity as on Betfair, but there’s generally plenty for most people to get their bets matched.

And just like with the bookies, there can be differences in price betwen the exchanges which could see you get matched at moer favourable odds. It always pays to shop around for the best prices in the long term, plus of course you get £25 free.

After another profitable day yesterday featuring a 40/1 winner, The Life System has made back everything it lost on Saturday and is back at around a 28% profit overall. Unfortunately as I mentioned before the system is being marketed with sequential price rises and tomorrow night the price will double. This is a bit of a pain in terms of my testing because the price increases are coming before I have had chance to test it properly – this is the main reason why I have been reporting back so frequently with the latest results on this system which I might not normally do.

I am not in a position yet to officially recommend it to you because I have only been testing for 10 days or so. The results so far have been good, there was one bad day on Saturday when I lost a chunk of the profits already made,  but all systems will have bad days and I am impressed with how quickly it recovered. So those are the facts, the decision is up to you. The price goes up to £149 tomorrow night, if you want to check it out before then you can find out more here.

I have also been testing the Betfair Race Trading Formula on behalf of the guys at Free Bet Advice. This review will be published in the next few days. It will go on their site not mine, but I will post a link as soon as it is published if you are interested in this Betfair trading product.

When these tests are done I will take a look at some of the other products you have asked me to review. Please keep the feedback coming in so I know what you would like me to test next. If you feel that your query or request might be of interest to others, please consider submitting a comment instead of using the contact form, that way everyone can benefit from the response. I get lots of feedback on the contact form but some people seem a bit shy of leaving comments so far, so please do use this facility.

I am currently running two tests as requested by readers. The first system I am reviewing is called The Life System by James Fitzmaurice. You may have seen some publicity surrounding this over the past couple of days as it has just been relaunched, which I assume is what prompted a few of you to ask me to test it.

The marketing campaign incorporates sequential price rises which are genuine (I’ve double checked this) - so it’s not just one of these things when they say “the price is going up at midnight” and it never happens. This is the main reason I am posting this early update because if you are interested in the system you might want to get a copy while it’s still relatively cheap.

The manual is very easy to understand and the system itself very simple to implement – so much so that I was not sure whether the system would be profitable when I first read it due to its simplicity. However, the results so far have been very decent and my £100 test bank has increased to £112 in 3 days thanks to some winners being found at massive prices. I hope this can continue.

I have managed to set up Bet Bot Pro to operate the system for me, so it just takes me around 10 minutes in the morning to set it up and I am done for the day (this could be done the night before instead I guess).

Of course I am not in a position to recommend the system to you yet until I have performed a full and proper test, so this update is just to let you know what has happened so far in view of the fact that they are increasing the price. Of course if it continues to profit at the rate it has done so far I will have no option but to recommend the system because a 12% increase in 3 days is not to be sniffed at.

If you want to look at The Life System you can do so here.

For my second test, I have also arranged to test a greyhound laying service called “Psycho Lays Dogs”. I’ve yet to come across a decent Greyhound system or service and the past results of this one look impressive, so I am very much looking forward to testing this. I haven’t received any selections as yet but I will keep you posted.
