Even now, watching the re-run of the thrilling Betfair Chase at Haydock back in November, it seems extraordinary that Imperial Commander failed to beat Kauto Star, the photo finish so narrowly favouring the defending champion who just happened to have his handsome nose down at the exact split-second the pair passed the post. A stride before or a stride after the line, Kauto Star was definitely beaten.

Whilst many suggested that Imperial Commander only got so close to Nicholls’ dual Gold Cup winner because he was making his seasonal reappearance, they seem to conveniently forget that the Nigel Twiston-Davies trained nine-year-old was also having his first run for six months.

Not for the first time Imperial Commander then went to Kempton’s King George VI Chase touted as a genuine threat to Kauto Star, and not for the first time he ran a poor race there. Clearly, right-handed Kempton does not suit the Flemensfirth gelding who conversely has a very good record at Cheltenham where he has won no less than five times, including the Paddy Power Gold Cup and last year’s Ryanair Chase.

Following a pleasing racecourse workout this weekend, Twiston-Davies reported Imperial Commander to be bang on target for the Gold Cup where Ladbrokes’ standout offer of 14/1 looks a cracking each-way bet as far as 2010 Cheltenham betting goes. With doubts surrounding Denman it would be a brave man that would be prepared to bet that Imperial Commander and Paddy Brennan won’t make the frame.

It is also worth noting that the Twiston-Davies’ horses seem to be holding their form really well this year leading up to the Cheltenham Festival, as evidenced by the game success of Razor Royale in Kempton’s Racing Post Chase. Something which should be considered when checking out the latest Cheltenham Odds in the coming weeks.

Could there be anything more appropriate than a horse named after a policy of injecting cash flow into the financial system winning money put up by a financial investment company? I think not.

Unbeaten in his three racecourse appearances, the five-year-old has looked a class act, following a victory on his debut in a hot Punchestown bumper with two facile successes at Newcastle and Newbury. Although campaigned thus far at distances of two miles, the extra five furlongs of the Cheltenham race look ideal as the Anshan gelding looks like a horse who will be capable of staying that distance and more in time.

Available to back at a best-priced 9/1 in the ante-post lists, Quantitativeeasing is a horse with limitless potential who has been brought along steadily by his shrewd handler. Having held entries in a number of races at the four-day Festival fixture it is significant that connections have opted to take on the challenge of the longer novices event as opposed to the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Dermot Weld’s talented Rite of Passage heads the ante-post list at a best priced 5/1 having looked very smart when thrashing his rivals on his one and only hurdles start to date at Leopardstown in January. Formerly a decent flat performer, he has been the subject of sustained market support and will certainly put the O’Neill horse through his paces on the day.

That said, I still believe that Quantitativeeasing looks one of the best bets of the forthcoming Festival and will be expecting to see the JP McManus-owned gelding storming ahead of his rivals in the run-in at Prestbury Park.

The Four The Win system comes in the form of a 16 page PDF the first four pages cover the usual  disclaimer and introduction in page 5 up to page 16 the author starts to discuss the system, options A & B and the staking plan which is based on Fibonacci, there are plenty of examples of the system in action.

The author acknowledges the fact that there is considerably less bets in the winter months and that’s why he came up with Option B. Option A is a set of four simple rules requiring two racing websites to find a selection, all Option B is, is a Option A minus 2 rules to allow more bets in the winter months. Now as regards the selections above only half would have qualified if using Betfair SP but I was able to secure a price within the range specified in the rules before the off.

Review Period 8^th November to 19^th November (12 Days)

8 Selections

7 Winners

87.5% Strike Rate

Average price of Selection: 2.05

Price of Losing Bet: 2.00

Profit/Loss + 5.65

I never got a chance to try the staking plan as I only had 1 loser, but it works like this 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 stop go back to 1 point so if your first 2 bets lose your next stake would be 2 points and so on, if my 5 point selection loses I revert back to 1 point according to the author this has only happened once. The system is fairly easy to use takes around 15 minutes per day and concerns female horses plus other rules. There was a only a few selections as you can see during the trial which makes it hard to assess.

Given the low prices of the loser and long as the system hits high seventies, low eighties on the strike rate it will make a profit.

Rating: 3/5   based on the Strike Rate and the fact it was a few points in profit

So, the price is currently £29 but the web site indicates a rise to £49.  (It actually says increases will occur in 3 days, but I have had the system for 3 days and the increase has not occurred!!!) The package consists of a 12-page PDF copy of the system (meaning it is accessible) there is also an email service, which forwards selections, without using the manual selection process (although the system is simple, these services are useful). The service is offered for a single payment of  £39.95.

The presentation is professional, with screen shots of sites used to make selections.  Although the system is only 12 pages, it is precise and concise with no padding to make the manual seem more appealing.  However, there are comments made in following section regarding the system (see below). The system uses only 3 selection steps!!! And everything is covered in how to make selections.  In the manual, each step includes clear screen shots and instructions; and has web links to areas where information can be found.  (I have reservations regarding the system, but this is covered later).  The manual also contains a money management system, which is essential when making profits from gambling; and seems to use a common sense approach. The price seems acceptable for this type of manual, but attention needs to be given to the sales pitch regarding increasing the price.

So, any adverse comments:?!  Well, when initially reading the system, it indicates 2 distances on which selections are made (sorry if being vague, but I am trying not to reveal the exact system).  It became slightly confusing whether these were 2 specific distances, or whether the system uses races falling between these distances.  It only became clear when the author gave an example.  Inserting the word “between”, when giving distances, would prevent this confusion and provide faith in the system (which sadly is lacking – but more later)

Another comment; the author advises to flit around the racing post web site, to obtain various selection information.  However, click on the days first race meet, scroll through to find possible selections, click on the race, then click the selected horse to obtain information required.  This is much easier and all information is available from the race card. This flitting about (not necessary) dilutes the faith I have in this system. These may seem trivial, but I feel, systems presented to paying punters, must be accurate and time effective.  If this system used more than 3 steps to make selections, this would not be the case. Tweaking the manuals presentation is needed to ensure the system is correctly understood and time management is minimised.

So, what is my initial perception?  Well! Firstly. I agree, make systems as simple as possible so bets can be tunefully placed.  I also agree with not “padding” manuals with irrelevant information – i.e. including lengthy autobiographies; or how to use betfair; or a lengthy synopsis of how systems were developed; but this system takes streamlining to a new degree. We need some author credentials of experience and knowledge, which allow them to produce systems.  We also need brief descriptions of how systems developed and data proving systems work.  Without this, I become very sceptical and this was my reaction on first reading.

Honestly; it seems the author picked his lucky number, then devised what seems “a fad system” to accompany this.  The web site claims have little, if any long term proof of claims, just single winning bets!  I expect; at least on web sites; a section showing previous trial statistics for claims being made. The web site claims this system is no gimmick, but is exactly how it feels, with no counterclaims to defend the system!!!  However, I said I would test the system and “ours is not to reason why, ours is just to buy and try”.  So, will it stand real live testing?

To be honest, the system is self-explanatory and using only 3 steps, can be executed over a whole race card in minutes.  However, as mentioned, I have reservations, as the system seems too simplistic.  It does not seem to use sufficient data to enable it to be taken seriously, but live tests will prove whether this system produces high success rates.

Results of implementing System!

N.B. For the purpose of the trial, and because I do not always use betfair, I am using the rule; one quarter odds for a second place and one fifth odds for third and fourth place.  Using this ensures consistency.  I am starting with a £500 account, using the simple money management system the manual provides i.e. each way bets of 1 betting stake win and 1 betting stake place for all races.

The author includes money management with the system.  In my opinion, all betting systems should include money management, as this determines potential losses, which may occur. The money management seems adequate, but with my scepticism of the system, my initial bankroll is £500 (common when testing new systems) and I indicate daily gains/losses, to compare strike rates. As mentioned, I will see if the system lives up to its claims under live test conditions, seeing if the money management system is sufficient.

Unlike the rest of this review, this section was completed after the test period.  I feel this only fair, to test the system as originally intended.  Here are my opinions.

Overall stats

System tested over 32 days (as 2 days had no runners)

System produced –33.69 staking points = -£168.45 if using money management

System had 4 wins; 9 second places; and 7 third places from 82 selections

System gives strike rate of 24.39%

System would produce laying strike rate of  95.12%

The system author uses extremely limited data to choose horses and this seems the reason for astonishingly low strike rate (24.39%) and total losses of £168.45 from the initial starting bank using £5 stakes as suggested. Considering statistics, the author would produce much better strike rates as a laying system and would certainly have been in profit. As my initial suspicions indicated, this system probably produces similar strike rates to ones choosing favourite numbers to back horses, or even choosing horses blindfolded.  As a laying system, it would produce much more profit, but I feel credibility is lacking and lay results only arose by chance.  I suggest not even purchasing this system for lay options as selections are not stable enough, but the lay option would have been a more accurate way to market the system.

System Extras!

As mentioned, an email service is available, but comes at a price.  Although email services are convenient, with this system only being 3 steps, I feel this service does not warrant the cost The service states all selections are sent before 11.30 each race day.  During testing, this was the case, the latest I received the service was 11.10.  However, during the test, there where incidents where wrong information was given for selections, (including times and courses) and incidents where selections where not even sent by email. I feel, when paying for services, these issues should never occur. Information should be thoroughly checked then sent every day regardless, if not, reputations quickly fail. This, along with poor system performance (as seen above) does not provide faith in the system and in my opinion, I would stay well clear if considering as a professional gambling tool.

The upsell e-book entitled Trap the Winner, is based on backing horses and relies on checking the draw bias at certain race courses, obviously this only applies to flat racing. Apart from using some additional criteria from the Racing Post I don’t believe that there is anything new for the experienced punter as draw bias will always be a factor in certain sprint handicaps, especially in large fields. This book is not something I would recommend as a purchase. Disappointingly there are no previous results to show, simply a staking plan showing you how you can win all of this Tax Free money!

CONCLUSION

What can I say?  The system, in my opinion, is a complete sham.  The web site provides little data to back up claims, and sales letters only provide single instances where wins occurred.  This is not good enough, and in my opinion, is a “money making scam” which cheats paying public.  Harsh words, but statistics in this report are proof.  If back testing stats were available (as with systems I currently use) these would have shown the system is not as good as advertised. Where these excluded so the system had at least some chance of earning the author some quick cash?

The author claims over 20 years betting experience.  Sounds good, but I know people having over 40 years experience, however this is always a losing streak! The system uses extremely limited data to select the horses, which over time becomes very damaging to bankroll profits.  Most systems I use to produce profit, generally use at least 4 pieces of statistical data to produce selections.  Any less and strike rates quickly diminishes to below 50%. A system producing strike rates of below 25% can be considered disastrous.  I believe technical date says pure chance produces around 30% strike rate, so it seems picking horses blindfolded would produce similar, if not better profits. This, along with unreliability of email service definitely indicates, in my opinion, this “fad” betting system does not enter my library, not even as a laying system. I feel the laying stats were pure chance and I rely on more than chance when placing bets.

Rating 1/5 – Leave well alone and advise colleagues the same.  I believe this system a complete waste of money and similar, if not better strike rates could be duplicated devising simple systems yourself, e.g. only choosing jockeys who wear green as their colour and ride Irish horses. Back each horse each way!!! In fact, paper test this, as I feel this rule would produce very similar strike rates as the Lucky seven system

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,

A few rules but relatively easy to understand and getting the selections takes a few minutes a day. Alright for the 9 to 5ers as the bets can be placed at any time.

There will occasions when one needs to be brave because losing runs have been up to 20 races although if backing each way then this comes down to 8. I believe his omitting course winners for national hunt to be an error because although a small number races, course winners have shown a 76% return on investment.

I have been able to research this system thoroughly and although the past is not always a good measure of the future I can confirm, but for minor blips that the results going back over six years are accurate and the system has been profitable every year.

Despite what he says about the system it is a back fitted system but it has shown consistency over many years and there is no reason to believe this cannot continue.

My research shows the flat system made 26% profit on return and the national hunt system made a 68% return on investment. With minor tweaking of the flat system I have got this up to a 50% return on investment.
