Football Betting Champ Final Review Summary

NEUTRAL  Rating:

I started receiving tips from Football Betting Champ right from the very beginning. This was at the stage where the beta testers were getting tips.

This season there were 81 bets on the DRAW advised.

Of the 81 DRAW bets Mr X was correct on 28 occasions. This is a strike rate of 35.7%.

To level stakes bets the Service made a profit of 9.75 points profit which includes the Betfair 5% commission as prices I took were all from Betfair.

The Service however does promote to use a Staking plan they tell you each week whether the bet is an A, B, C, or D bet.

A = 3% of bank
B = 6% of bank
C = 9% of bank
D = 12% of bank

I can tell you that following this strategy starting with a relatively small £500 starting bank the service did in actual fact incur a loss of £15.03 over the course of the whole season which is not pretty reading.

This equates to an overall return on investment from 18th August 2009 – 8th May 2010 of -0.3%.

Part way into the season Mr X introduced quite a few different types of bets but soon withdrew them for unknown reasons. This did not effect members apart from the fact we knew very little about what was happening behind the scenes. The member centre is very well setup and emails etc as always answered in a professional manner. So sometimes it was confusing why there was a lack of communication from the service.

Mr X then introduced his lay bets on the football, this service built up a pattern over time and we were laying the away team in all of the tips advised.

The results were as follows.

From 9th February – 8th May we had 74 lay bets. from the 74 bets we laid 60 successfully with an 81.1% Strike rate.

The average Lay price was 4.6 over this period so you can see that with this strike rate the service will work for the foreseeable future. As long as the average price doesn’t move upwards and the strike rate remains the same.

To level stakes laying we made 19.82 points profit after 5% Betfair commission.

The laying service advised to lay at 5% of the bank for each lay compounding on every bet where possible. Starting with a bank of £5000 the end result was a profit of £238.54 which works out as a Return on investment of 47.7%. This is quite a significant gain and the same figure would have been reached using level stakes had you laid at £12 per lay.  This obviously means if you had a bank of £500 you would be splitting that bank into only 40 points which is quite high risk. So I would have advised with a bank under say £2000, you should be laying to 5% liability. Instead of level stakes as more profit can be made this way with much less risk.

So in total the actual service finished in profit over the course of the season with a profit of over 47.4% Return on your investment overall and if you went against the advice of the service and placed the bets at level stakes you would be sitting on a profit of 29.57 points. But I must say that the lays that were introduced in February fortunately saved their bacon, but this is irrelevent because at the end of the day I am here to proof the tips I was sent and in the whole season a profit would have been made.

Now I am going to be including the cost of service into the final figures as I do with all long term reviews. This is only fair to the consumer.

To receive the tips until the 8th May 2010 you would of had to be a member of the service for 9 months, In fees this equates to £450 in service costs.

This means that to finish up at the end of 9 months with a slight profit of around £20 you would need to have used a bank no lower than £1000 investment. Had you used a bank of say £2000 investment then you would be sitting on a profit for the year after costs of £504 roughly which is not to bad when all you had to do was login once or twice per week and place the advised bets. literally 10 minutes work if that!

So on this occasion we have a service that hasn’t lost you a ton of money and depending on what sort of start bank you used from the begging you would have made a profit even though at times I really did wonder if it was possible. The DRAW service at times looked like showing signs of brilliance. Some might disagree. It was a shame when the brilliance happened it was only after a long run of bad results so the service was always chasing unfortunately.

The promise from the start was that FBC would make money on the draw selections and I must say this season was a real stalemate. I will look at reviewing FBC again next season and hope for a better return for the small punter which is actually the majority of us system buyers.

For the reasons outlined above FBC will be placed in the Neutral section of Betting System Truths. I will be awarding it a star rating of 2.5/5. This is certainly not a bad score and this is certainly not a negative review.

The truth is if you had £2000 to invest in this service from the beginning you would be sitting a little bit happier with an overall profit of £500. This is based on the ROI of 47.7% and then the costs of £450 for the service over 9 months deducted.

I hope you enjoyed reading the review.

Tyche Windfall Review Update!

Hi its the commissioner,

Martin who was reviewing this has disappeared into thin air, I really hope he is actually ok and that something bad hasn’t  happened to him. I have taken over the reigns of this review. Now this review is different as the author Dave Bowler has requested a monthly update of his system or service which means it will not be categorised until we end our review which I think 12 months is a long enough amount of time for the agreement. We also do this kind of review for 1 other service that requested it that service is Football Betting Champ.

I receive tips daily by Dave and i can confirm the results in the below table are correct according to the emailed tips i receive.. The Next update will be at the end of April!

As we are doing a long term monthly review, I will be including service costs including the charge for selections to be emailed and Return on Investment. I will also be quoting what size bank you would need to be using in order to – at the very least, break even with this service.

The Costs So far…

4th Jan – 3rd feb – £99 ebook purchase + £29 email service

4th Feb – 3rd March – £29 email service

4th March – 3rd April – £29 email service

Cost of service so far with selections emailed = £186

This is a backing service so the system requires you to place your stakes BACKING selections at the Betfair SP

Since 4th January 2010 +7.91 points

£10 stakes - +£79.10 = Including costs Total =  -£106.90

£20 stakes - +£158.20 = Including costs Total =  -£27.80

£30 stakes – +£237.30 = Including costs Total =  +£51.30   -  Above Break Even

£40 stakes - +£316.40 = Including costs Total =  +£130.40

£50 stakes - +£395.50 = Including costs Total =  +£209.50

£100 stakes - +£791.00 = Including costs Total =  +£605.00

As you can see as long as you could afford £50 – £100 stakes the return on your investment over the trial so far would have been very nice indeed with over £200 profit for £50 stakes!

If you decide to join Tyche Windfall we recommend that you be able to use at least £20 -£30 stakes per selection in the view that now the flat season is under way the results will significantly improve, you should then be making  a nice heathy profit according to tyche windfall manual.

Cheers
