The Secret Tipster
Today starts my 45 day proofing of The Secret Tipster, a laying service run by John Ramone which has been available for almost 18 months.
During this period The Secret Tipster is claimed to have made 300+ points profit and on its Genius Staking Plan 880+ points profit.
At present The Secret Tipster has a special offer BOGOF of £57 for 2 months, thus as long as the account is active represents a saving of £242 per annum. However they are limiting subscriptions to 100 and once this allocation is complete the doors will be shut.I have decided to post daily the method of operating this service in order that everyone is clear on how to place their bets. Basically there is a level stakes plan and also a Genius Staking Plan whereby the stakes for this plan will be shown after the selection.
Furthermore I will be using a £1000 bank for each staking plan and staking £10 per unit (Winnings subject to 5% Betfair commission)
We use a combination of staking advice with these tips ie; the current lay price (with a max 9.8 stipulation)
With the shorter priced selection’s you can if you wish laythese selections just prior to race time.
The reason for this is that the shorter priced horses will (in the main) be favourites/top stable/top jockeys which may shorten in price
We have now come to the end of this trial which lasted for 50 days of which there were actually 44 selection days.
Total selections 157
Winning Bets 119
Losing Bets 38
Strike Rate 75.80%
Level Stakes P/L +7.96 points to prices obtained by John Romane
Level Stakes P/L -32.79 points at BSP
Genius Staking Plan P/L +35.74 points to prices obtained by John Romane
Genius Staking Plan P/L -68.26 points at BSP
This service has been a bit of a rollercoaster as it started reasonably well on January 19th 2011 generating a good profit in it’s first week (according to the prices obtained by the owner John Romane). However as most proofing is done using BSP I contacted Mr Romane and advised him that the prices that went out with the selections were not readily obtainable as he set his upper limit at 9.8. His response was that his results were based on the prices sent out with his selections and he could prove that they were obtainable with screenshots if necessary.
I therefore continued proofing with two sets of results – those in brackets being results using BSP prices.
Unfortunately the service had a disastrous run between 11th – 13th February of thirteen losers which really put this service seriously in arrears. Mr Romane had been sending out selections which included some less than 3.0 and these selections brought about these losses. Mr. Romane decided to stop sending out these short priced selections which to be fair has seen the recovery of the service. Only 6 losing bets out of 56 (SR 89.29%) in two weeks and a turnaround from -9.84 points to + 7.96 points – a gain of 16.12 points.
However we should not forget that these are not to BSP. The results to BSP showed -2.05 points.
The Genius Staking Plan showed better results due to the aggressive stakes used (mainly 4 units after 13th February).
With regards to the service I believe that the owner has now got it on an even keel but there is still an issue on obtaining the prices he sends out, after all this is about a punter being able to obtain the same results as the service claims and this has not been achievable. Perhaps the provider may consider setting the upper limit to say 12.0 as going by the results whilst proofing more prices would have been obtainable.
I have set his prices on a bot and generally have been matched 80% of the time either before the ‘off’ or ‘in running’. However not everyone has a bot as I would strongly recommend using one and then this would be a decent service.

No Selections
Some visitors to the site have expressed concern with the Profit & Loss figures, inasmuch as those selections with a BSP over the 9.8 limit should not be included in these returns as they have found it almost impossibe to obtain the prices John Ramone (the proprietor) quotes in his selections. I had earlier taken this matter up with John and he insisted that that was how he operated his service as the prices he quotes are obtainable on Betfair when he submits his daily selections
Since proofing started there have been 25 such instances totalling 23.75 points on level stakes and 43.70 points on the Genuine Staking Plan. Needless to say some punters will still lay all the selections regardless of the prices whilst others will be able to obtain the prices recommended. I will therefore continue proofing using John’s prices and will post the P & L omitting those selections with a BSP over 9.8 in brackets starting from the next results posting.

No Selections
Once again I have had to amend the figures as John Romane has used the Betfair Reduction Factor on non runners to amend the odds returned on two losing selections (see notes on 13th February). Whilst this is a fact it makes proofing in these instances where Betfair apply the Reduction Factor very diffucult. Each individual bet will have a different returned odds and I have no benchmark to get the odds other than BSP which he does not agree to

Not the best month unfortunately.
The Secret Tipster selections finsihed the month down with a level stake loss of – 12.25 points (58/84 69.04%). This beat our worst ever loss by 1 point.
The staking plan fell back – 21.28 points to + 883.8 points overall.
Using Version 2 level stake loss was – 1.08 points. (49/58 84.48%)
The staking plan actually increased by + 11.94 points to stand at + 1290.35 points overall.
It is easy to see that the shorter priced * sels let us down, and was not helped by bad ground and withdrawals in small fields.
To this end I have decided to stop the shorter priced sels for the time being – this should not have any drastic effect on the system overall.

hi interesting trrial , i have been using the system myself for several months and am in profit using the staking plan , my biggest doubt is that many of the selections given in the 8.0 – 9.0 odds range are way over the 9.8 max and are therefore not selections , also the liqiudity on many of these selections is pretty non existent . i notice that you are ignoring the 9.8 max odds and have about 23 of the selections over this figure. if you knocked 23 points of your totals it wouldnt be so impressive .
regards
mike
Hi Mike,
I’m not following these selections myself, so could you expand on someting that confuses me about what you are saying please (easily done).
When you say “my biggest doubt is that many of the selections given in the 8.0 – 9.0 odds range are way over the 9.8 max”, does this mean that the selections are drifting beyond the max 9.8?
Ta
Paul
hi paul , sorry yes the selections are sent about midday and even when checking prices immediately , alot of the selections advised by john at odds between 8.0 – 9.9 have already drifted way in to double figures therefore becoming non selections . like i said i have been able to make a profit using the staking plan , averaging 5 points a week over 3 months , not bad for any system but i feel when stakes get in to double figures more of the higher priced selections dont get matched because of lack of liquidity . i hope some of that makes sense !!!
regards
mike
Guys, you better take care with this review, as the results are not going as well as most people expected…not me, as this is another example of exceptional results before release to the public and a “strange” bad run when is being reviewed.
Why do I write this message of “you better take care”? As you may know the same product is being reviewed by another famous site. Yesterday night or today morning they included the results of the last days, and they are terrible. Guess what? They received the next message:
“This review has been a complete farce. I expected better from what is supposed to be “The Best Betting System Review Site”. I am the vendor for Johns product I meticulously chose the two best review sites to review this for John. Who ever said that 5% staking was to be shown and to then comment on us blowing a bank at 5% staking is plain libel and portraying untrue facts in its entirety. John uses a 1-4 staking plan with the method which is in profit nicely for the amount of days this is being used. The flat stakes took a bashing recently but its still in profit. I think 24 hours is enough time to remove this posting before i take some action. Kerry”
And guess what? They deleted all the previous entries…hope you have the guts to keep with the review (a complete review including the recommended bank considering number of bets, strike rate and average odds) and don’t feel scared with threatening messages send by “vendors”!!
So sad to see once again that this business is still full of c- -p like this!!! Mafia is here to stay!!!
Thanks for your time and effort!
Thanks Pepe. All reviews on this site are independently undertaken by readers, and run for over six weeks, which is enough to get a robust feel for the system or service. Secret Tipster is of course no exception. It is our intention and duty to perform the reviews according to the edicts of the vendor, and we’ll continue to do that.
In that context, there is no concern about libel etc.
We’ve fifteen more days to go on the trial, and we’ll see what happens.
Best,
Matt
Hi – as vendor for the system, the results are not quite correct. We certainly do not advise staking the sels at betfair sp – so this is completely contrary to what is advised in the system.
The system is actually – 9.84 points down since 19th January 2011 @ level stakes. Using the staking plan the system is -28.1 points during this period.
The results do not take into account any reduction factors for non runners. As bets are placed at morning prices occasionally withdrawals affect the prices. As an example of this the two recent winners at Hereford had reduction factors making the obtained prices as follows:ratify 4.72 and decent lord 5.61.
i have layed all the selec tions at the stipulated prices and am quite happy to provide screenshots of these to the owner of the site as well as full tabulated results to show that the figures I have quoted are correct.
The first part of this month has been a bad period but nothing which has not happened in the past. The system is a long term one and whilst the review period has provided a deficit, the quoted figures are incorrect. i should perhaps add that since going live in November an overall profit has been produced – again i will happily provide full tabulated figures to prove this is the case.
hi i have been following this system for a while now and have to agree with the review figures as the prices john shows are not obtainable when the email comes between 12 – 12.30 , and there is certainly no liquidity on the higher priced selections at that time .
regards
mike
hi , you see what i mean about the prices available , the service would be nearly in profit now if you could only get the prices . out of interest i checked some of the prices quoted by john and found that on 10 of the prices he quoted which went of 12.0 and above the matched totals were less than £20 .
regards
mike
