Alternative Punters Syndicate – Final Review
After around six weeks of testing, we decided to call time on our trial of The Alternative Punters Syndicate. Regular readers will know that we generally test things out for approximately four weeks, and we did have an email or two asking why we’d continued with TAPS when the results were so poor. The answer [...]
Mathematician Betting – Final Review
Well, we’ve come to the end of the testing period for Mathematician Betting and I have to say that our test was a bit of a non-event, because Guy only sent out six messages with account bets in them all month! At Starting Price we made a small loss of £32 to £20 stakes, but from the two winners [...]

Things really aren’t going TAPS’ way just now. Since we started the trial, it seems we’ve put a curse on them! There was a bit of variety in today’s bets, we had a best bet, two lays and a footie single to play with….we lost them all (well, won one lay, but lost overall). Best [...]

A quiet day on the backing front for TAPS again today but a golf bet from yesterday and six lays to report on. The golf bet unfortunately went astray with the fancied choice, Geoff Ogilvy, going down in the 3 ball opener. It was another 50% strike rate on the lays today but, surprisingly, I [...]

No back bets for TAPS today but six races were given for the lays. I said earlier in the week that this may end up a good backing system and it’s beginning to look that way To be fair, the lay system only started last month and made over 50 points profit and TAPS themselves [...]

I’m sorry to report that it’s been another day to forget for TAPS. They sent out a system bet today along with two races to lay in, unfortunately they couldn’t have got it any more wrong with their odds on system bet (coincidentally a Four The Win selection) going down to the 2nd favourite, and [...]
Alternative Punters Syndicate 08/04/08
I’m beginning to feel for TAPS, another quiet day with only lays to play with – four in total – and only returning a 50% strike rate again. It would appear that Sod is sitting back and having a good chuckle at his Law! 15:30 South – Irish Conection & Welcome Releaf – Welcome Releaf [...]
Alternative Punters Syndicate 07/04/08
TAPS sent out no less than six races to lay in today and, after a promising start, they unfortunately found the winner in no less than three of them! Perhaps this will become a good backing system 14:20 Plump – Funny Fellow & Barodine – LOST 15:20 Plump – Marshalls Run & Explosive Fox – [...]
Alternative Punters Syndicate 06/04/08
It was another day of mixed fortunes for TAPS today, but I’m happy to say they returned a profit overall, although it could have been so much more! There was only one lay for the horse racing today, but that went as Hexham was abandoned, leaving a bet on Man Utd to breeze past Middlesbrough [...]

Things just aren’t getting any better for TAPS this month. They had a couple of bets on the football side of things today and got one right and one wrong. There were five lays to play with today as well, and all was going swimmingly until the fourth bet when we hit a winner. Let’s [...]
