I contacted you last week about the launch of Arbitrage Spy and I hope you took my advice and left it well alone until I had had my wicked way with it…
The only thing I can see that it has going for it is that it is different from the usual crap being sold online.
Last time I spoke to you, I told you I was having problems getting a review copy of the Arbitrage Spy software after being promised it, so I could check it out before the launch.
Not only did that not happen I am now being ignored. So I went on my merry way to buy Arbitrage spy at a cost of £47.
I purchased and came to downloading the Arbitrage Spy software, I managed to get the thing running but, where is the operating instructions? The tutorials? You get no instructions on how to use the software so everything is pure guess work. I am used to using complicated betting software so I was ok on my own initiative but, the less savvy punter would be having a complete nightmare at this point.
After using the software for a few hours I noticed that the interface was absolutely awful and none of the advices were actually available. Whenever a suspected arb became available I checked betfair and the price simply wasn’t available. Whenever an arb came up for the whole 3 hours I was using it, I was told the price was lower on betfair and higher on the bookies. By the time I checked it out (running betfair in a separate window simultaneously) This was not the case, It was the same price or better and this happened on all arbs it highlighted.
So In summary, Arbitrage Spy is a SCAM. It is a slick manoeuvre to rid you of your hard earned pounds but, they have done it in such a way as to stay under my radar. The product is unfinished and could have been so much better. The amount of money they are charging plus the annoying up sells are geared towards one thing only taking as much money as possible from cash strapped punters.
Today The Betting System Guru makes his Predictions on what he thinks is 3 very decent bets on the winner of Ultimate Big Brother.
Be sure to make your own judgements on Ultimate Big Brother and don’t bet with money you cannot afford to lose.
This was BSG’s bet on the winner of Big Brother 11 back on the 10th June 2010

I am obviously fairly confident on the eventual winner of Ultimate Big Brother. Josie has my money because there never has been anyone in this show as down to earth as her. And no one likes seeing a celebrity win big brother especially the Ultimate Big Brother! Thats why chantelle won all those years ago in a house full of celebrities. The other two bets are trading bets so if you are in with BSG trade out when the prices are half.
Cheers
Betting System Guru – Predicts Ultimate Big Brother
The review of Betting Pros lasted for 84 days. I took over from James on the 31st January. In this period we had just 39 betting days, and only 63 selections. This kind of service is very hard to gauge in the fact that it does deliver what it says on its site. The overall cost works out at around 4 to 5 pounds a month depending when you would have joined.
My concern here is the low ROI (return on investment) It worked out at 6.35% during the trial. If you had deducted the 40 pounds membership fee which would take you up to end of August 2010 the ROI would drop to 5.90%.
This service is really for the larger backer to make sums like 567.50 pounds profit. To make this figure you would have had to lay out 8930 pounds in total, having said that if you had started with a 1000 pound bank the lowest it ever dropped to was 835.44 pounds and you would have made the 567.50 pounds profit also.
I suppose it would be possible to start off with a bank of 500 pounds and you would have made 283.75 but of course the subscription even though low cost would affect this more and take your ROI down to 5.46%.
The service concentrates on football with the occasional other sporting bet and is backing to win, the price of selections is short and the average bet works out at 1.28.
Out of the 63 selections 52 of them won, the longest losing run was only 1 and this of course happened 11 times. The longest winning run was 18.
Of the 11 losers four were 150 point bets; all the 200 and 250 points bets won, but if any of these had lost it really would have knocked the service back.
E-mails were sent out the night before and the website is always updated regularly. In regards o the Quality of service, it is professionally run, absolutely no complaints there.
I am going to place this in neutral and award it 2.5 stars, the service delivers exactly what it claims, is a professionally run service, but who is this really going to appeal to? It’s a very specific market…
The backer here would have to be placing at times 250 pound and 200 pound bets. The service actually recommends a 2000 pound bank so you could double those amounts. So if you like very short runs and you can mentally and financially handle larger stakes on short odds then this service could be for you. Maybe one could review this service again in September and see what the new membership subscription costs would be and see if there are any new additional parts to the service.
The Football season is drawing to an end and i will be concluding the FBC service soon after the 1 season review carrid out as requested by the owners.

I have decided to keep the trial going for a further 28 days the reason being I am thinking that this service could actually make it to be only the 4th service in the Passed an Recommended section. Anything that makes me think like that deserves the full 3 month treatment to make doubly sure!
