I was sent a copy of this system for review by the author and I have been testing Betting Against the Odds with real money (mine!) for the last 2 weeks now.

Basically, the system is simple and straight forward to use and the selections can be found with minimum effort.  This system does produce some fantastic (above the odds) results, however there can be a lot of selections for the newbie punter and you may require a large bank.

The claims that you can earn 90% returns are a little far fetched, although this may be possible with some more guidance from the author regarding which markets to bet in and which to avoid.

There is no hard proof of long term profits and I would have liked the author to show his results for making £50 into £36,000 in one season actually worked.  My £50 would have been lost by now.

I have recorded my selections on a spreadsheet with my bets, (backing every selection blindly) which does show a loss!

However, I am quite impressed with the concept and believe that if you are interested in football, and have plenty of spare time to analyse the games involved, you will be able to pick the value bets.

If you stick to the areas you know, it will probably work. Diversifying into the Norwegian leagues or the Finnish leagues for example might not be wise!

The author did provide a back up FAQ after purchase and does provide a selection service for 12 months at  a reasonable price, which saves you the hassle of trawling through lots of games to find the selections.

I just felt that the selection process could provide too many bets and would therefore dilute any profit  margin.

I have discovered another (entirely different) market by accident with this system, which does seem to produce winning bets,so far 6 out of 7 have won.  As this has only been tested over 2 days, there is no way I would suggest that this system is foolproof, I will keep testing for the moment and keep you all updated!!

Rating 3/5  It could prove to be a winner.

PS. We’ve had a few Emails regarding Betting Against The Odds since this review was posted. It seems like others also have different methods of using the system. Below are a few emails from our readers which I think you might find useful.

They are as follows:

Looking at their screenshots (fakes???) it looks like the bets were placed around 15-10 min before kick-off, of course they said nothing about this in the FAQs. Instinctively I’d say it should be consistently over 100% payout, the higher the better, throughout the day if possible, right up to KO, say 2 mins before to allow you to place the bet. From what I’ve seen there is probably potential in this system but other filters are required. Let me know what you think.

Looking forward to your reply. Keep up the good work, top quality, much appreciated!

I tested this system also for 10 days now. Result is a disaster if you follow the rules. I’m also looking a little bit in other markets and found 7 from 8 winners in tennis. It seems that backing the outsiders in tennis if the Favourite is 1.60 or higher (and match is over 100% of course) gives a good profit. Good work with your system reviews, thanks for all testing!
Greetings from Munich, Germany

interesting I thought I should tell you about.

I’ve also been trialling Betting Against the Odds.

I’ve been using baby stakes, and like you I’ve been blindly betting all selections found within the system rules on a daily basis.

So far, my results following the system rules are as follows for the past 7 days:

52 matches bet.

9 wins

19 draws

24 losses.

Counting each win back and draw back as a 1/2 point so you have 1 point wagered per match, total profit or loss for that period is +1 point.

Bets in over 50% of matches won, yet only 1 point profit?  The problem I see is that when you win you often win less than a full point because you have to subtract 1/2 a point from the other half of the bet.

With that in mind, I decided to check the results and see what would have happened if I had not split the bet and only backed the win or the draw.

Only backing the win would have been disastrous, with 9 wins and 43 losses resulting in a loss of about 13 points.

However, only backing the draw I had 19 winning bets and 33 losses for a total profit of 16 points! Average that out over a month and that would be well over 60 points profit!

Take a look at your own past results and I expect you’ll find something similar.

At minimum odds of 3.0 decimal you need to win 33% of your bets to break even. These draw selections have been winning at 37% with average odds of 3.42, hence the hefty profit. Keep in mind also that I’ve been placing all the bets on betfair or bet365 and the profit would be considerably higher if placing the bets at the highest odds shown on betbrain when finding the selections.

I don’t think 52 matches is a trivial sample considering the wide variety of leagues and competitions these selections come from, but I’m going to keep testing win/draw against draw only until I’ve reached 100 bets.

Thanks for all the good reviews on your site. They’re really helpful with identifying a lot of the useless crap my inbox is bombarded with on a daily basis.

Cheers, and profitable betting,
