Favourites Phenomenon
May 25th, 2008
Today sees the start of a new trial over here at OBE HQ. The Favourites Phenomenon System (herein known as FP System for obvious reasons) has been a sneaky little blighter. I first heard of it a few weeks ago, before its release, but then all was silent for a while. It was only last week I found out it had actually found it’s way onto the market……and I haven’t had a single email about it.
So, what can I tell you about this FP System? Well, first off it’s penned by Matt Watson, who is undoubtedly one of the nicest guys I’ve dealt with in the world of sports betting. In the couple of days I’ve had the system to look at, he’s already responded in a ridiculously timely manner to any query I’ve had and is totally open about his system and his hopes for the good folks that purchase it.
Secondly, it is a backing system, a ridiculously easy backing system…so ridiculously easy that I had to read it twice, nae, thrice to ensure I’d actually understood it. I thought I’d missed something, that there was no way that what I had read was the actual system, but it was and is, and that’s a good thing! Read the rest of this entry »
Legacy And Saver – Final Review
May 25th, 2008So, here we are, a month down the line after having no fewer than 30 betting days for The Legacy And Saver System and it’s time to round this baby up. Before I do so, I have a slight (insert LARGE) confession to make – yes I’m an arse, it is now official!
I started this test using a 50 point bank and on day 30 of the test I was scrolling through the book and stopped, by chance, at a rather important line in the system. The line went “…we suggest a betting bank of ‘20′ points.” Hmm, the quick amongst you will realise that I cocked my bank up by oh 30 points or so! Not to worry though as it means the decent profit we achieved would have actually been 2.5 times more profitable, and that’s at SP! If I’d followed that 20 point bank, I’d have more than doubled my starting bank in 30 betting days!
Now that really is impressive!
The month started on a rather decent note, winning a reasonable profit in the first couple of days and I was bumbling along nicely. Then, I hit a 5 day run of losers which took the bank into the red, followed by a small win then another couple of poor days. I think it was at this point that someone commented about how unsurprised they were that the results had nosedived as they’d seen the system and it had no real selection criteria of any worth. I didn’t agree that the selection criteria had no worth, but I was beginning to doubt The Legacy And Saver System was any good!
My doubts were quickly quashed when I banked over £180 within the next two days! The rest of the trial was a bit up and down, but I was always winning more than I was losing and, in the last week particularly, the system was incredibly consistent, netting profit almost every day….not always huge amounts, but little and often will do for me!
At the end of the trial, I had netted a grand total of £429.94 to £20 stakes (or 20.5 points) and a 50 point bank. Had I split my £1000 into 20 units, that total would have actually been £1074.85 which is quite astounding! However, before we get all excited there’s a BIG health warning to be had….if I had indeed split my bank into just 20 units I would have (at the worst point of the month) had just £100 left in my account! Now, I’m a big bad ugly brute when it comes to betting (some would say I’m just a big bad ugly brute), and I’ve had my fair share of nervous bank situations, however, had I got to that point I’d have been a little worried, and probably a tad upset! So, yes you can certainly do it with a 20 point bank, but me personally, I’d use no less than the 50 points.
To recap, The Legacy And Saver System is two backing systems given as one. For the test, I used the Racing Post online edition and spent absolutely no more than 15 minutes a day finding my selections and then placed them at SP. The book does recommend taking the second show of live show odds (apparently has proven more profitable), but for simplicity I just took SP. So, for a grand total of 20 minutes work per day, I was paid £42.99 per hour! Surely that beats working for a living 
At the start of the trial, and during the first week or so in particular, I really expected to be slating The Legacy And Saver System, but it’s proven me wrong, and has to be recommended. There isn’t many systems out there that can produce 20 points profit for 20 minutes work a day. I, for one, will continue to use it daily!
Bet Accelerator – Final Review
May 25th, 2008So, we started the Bet Accelerator test at the same time as the other tests this month, and I’m actually amazed to see I had 20 betting days in total! I thought I’d had a hell of a lot less!
Bet Accelerator is a simple laying system, looking to lay solely odds on favourites, which is always a good thing, as long as the selection system is strong enough, and the selection criteria for Bet Accelerator does look strong enough, as shown by the 17.5 point profit.
However, I do have a few gripes about the system and I’ll start right back at the book itself. I get fed up of systems that are padded to the extreme with the usual junk about Betfair, odds, backing, laying, blah, blah, blah and I have to say Bet Accelerator is no different. Benjamin has taken a slightly different approach and included some other chapters like ‘The Enjoyment of Sports Betting’ or ‘The Money in UK Horse Racing’ – I’m sorry but I DON’T NEED THAT!!! It is a full 20 pages before I get to the four page selection chapter (which is actually summed up in one page)! Why not just give me the selection chapter/page early on and then if I really want to read all the other padding I can do so at leisure. In the interest’s of fairness, I should say that it’s not only Benjamin who pads out his ebooks, it’s a rather painful trait that seems to have been adopted by pretty much every system writer, but I really think it’s time they stopped it. All I want is the system strategy, pure and simple!
Secondly, I think “Accelerator” is a little bit ambitious! I’d be inclined to call it more like ‘Bet Pension Fund’ or ‘Bet Snail’ or ‘Bet Lada’ or something similar. Yes, you will profit from it, but I think it may be just a little slow, and certainly not akin to any accelerator I’ve ever used.
My final, and biggest, gripe is that it’s a live market system, and if you’re going to use a live market system, then you at least want some action! There’s nothing worse than sitting by a computer all day and placing no bets! To be fair, it’s not every day you have to sit by your PC as you’ll know the night before what meetings, if any, you have to keep an eye on, and you’ll have a rough idea whether you’re likely to have a bet or not, but you do still have to double check it at the off.
And so, Bet Accelerator…..do I recommend it? Well, it’s hard not to really since it did throw a decent profit in my direction, and 17 points is a very decent profit! Me personally though? I won’t be using it. I just don’t have the time nor the patience to sit watching races come and go without any action. If it was set and forget, then absolutely I’d recommend it but it’s not and that is a big negative! I certainly think more profit could be pulled from it with a lower betting bank probably around half of the recommended 150 points (am I really saying this??) but I don’t think that even that could persuade me. If you’ve the patience and the time to sit and wait on the bets coming your way then Bet Accelerator may very well be just the ticket, if you like even a modicum of action, then I’d suggest you look elsewhere.
Refuse To Lose – Final Review
May 25th, 2008So, we tested 3 and a half systems this month and this may just be the one I’m most excited about! Refuse To Lose came amongst a flurry of wild claims of massive profits and astounding strike rates, something that’s heard all too often in the murky world of betting systems. There was a glimmer of light, however, as it came from the well respected Sportsworld Publishing.
I was grateful to open the system document (in Word format) and find I had no more than 10 pages to work through and the last two are the past results…lovely! My first read through took just 10 minutes, with a further read through to make sure I was understanding what the author was saying. No problems here, and it was nice to see the logic behind the system too. For the test (and to save me time cos I’m a lazy sod) I mainly used the free selection telephone line that’s provided with the system.
I only bet in 18 days of the last month, which surprised me a little. What surprised me more was the profit I’ve pulled in that time – a few pennies shy of £860…in 18 days…..WOW! The test started well with profit arriving over the first few days of betting before hitting a particularly bad day where I dropped £204 and wiped out all but £8 of my profit. However, from there on in Refuse To Lose showed it has real potential by going on a particularly strong run of consistency. Sure, there were losers in there but they were well covered by the amount of winners.
Refuse To Lose utilises a conservative loss recovery plan, only ever aiming to recover lost stakes before looking for profit again. This is a relatively safe way of protecting both profits and bank, but because we’re dutching the selections here, you do need a substantial bank and I think the 1000 points RTL recommends is about right. The worst stage in the test did see the bank take a bit of a nosedive and the stakes did get a bit on the high side, but that’s the very reason for recommending a big bank.
So…£860 profit in 18 days to £2 stakes…or 430 points profit! But don’t go getting too carried away, as one of the ’secrets’ of the system is the varied staking that comes with it. It’s not one point stakes you use, you will use anywhere between 20 and 80 points and most will be between 60 and 75 points per bet but with the high strike rate, that really is nothing to worry about. Speaking of the strike rate, it is claimed to be in the region of 80%, but our trial had a 69.5% S/R. That doesn’t worry me as we only had 23 bets so it’s hardly a significant sample.
Overall, it’s a thumbs up for Refuse To Lose. The methodology is sound, it’s well written, clear, concise and moreover, highly PROFITABLE and I don’t foresee the selection method letting us down in the future either as it’s based on stats, and stats are good

The Betfair Loophole
May 22nd, 2008Unless you’ve been living under a stone for the last couple of weeks you’ll have heard the story about the guy who has discovered a secret loophole in Betfair’s system that enables you to generate wealth at will. I’ve been bombarded with emails about this “completely new discovery”, so I’m sure you will have too.
I got my copy of this remarkable system the very first day it was released (along with about 1000 others so I understand) and my first impression of it was “surely, SURELY, no-one would have the cheek to release something so pitiful with such a fanfare of publicity”, but the betting system conveyor belt folks from Rochdale Rd, Manchester (I’m sure you know who they are) never seem to let quality control get in the way when there’s a buck to be made out of gullible punters.
