10 Day Challenge is a new to market horse racing tipster service which is operated by Paul Farrar. He claims using his strategy, you can see huge returns in a small length of time.
Introduction to 10 Day Challenge
There is more than one way to skin a cat, and likewise, there are plenty of different ways a betting system can be appealing. I don’t think it’s a controversial statement, but the truth is that different people are always looking for different things. Some people just don’t want to lose. Consistency is the most important thing to them. Others love the thrill of a huge winner. And oddly to me,some people don’t really care whether they win or lose. They’re just looking to add fun to an event. Everybody loves a good profit though.
This brings me to the subject of today’s review, 10 Day Challenge. A service that makes some immense claims about how much money you can expect to make. But as the name suggests, the selling point isn’t the profit per se, rather how quickly you can expect to make it. At least, that is if you believe the sales material. The thing is, if Paul Farrar can actually deliver on even half the claims that he makes, then this is potentially the most exciting tipster service to come to market for some time.
Unfortunately, that is a pretty big if. If I’m completely honest. The fact is that whilst Paul Farrar undoubtedly does a great job of selling 10 Day Challenge at a cursory glance, there are some pretty big gaps in the information provided that, in my eyes, are rather difficult to overlook. And whilst I can often look past some things (marketing is a big part of this game), there are a number of elements here that are just bit… well, substandard in my opinion. So, let’s jump straight in and see if this can actually deliver.
What Does 10 Day Challenge Offer?
Whilst there is quite a lot about all of this that is questionable or I’m just not that keen on, I will say one thing, in some ways Paul Farrar has a pretty decent handle on things. Whilst the management side of 10 Day Challenge is pretty basic (to the point where, as I will get to, it is probably open to a bit of criticism), the service does also have a solid structure. So, there are arguably some positives.
And that is where I really want to start. I feel like I have to talk about the structure of 10 Day Challenge. Because ultimately, that is key to absolutely everything. You see, as the name rather gives away, everything involved takes place over a period of 10 days. This is a key part of the service because you have to go pretty hard to claim the results Paul Farrar says you will get.
Inevitably, this starts with betting every day. If you are going to turn £100 in to £1,000 in 10 days (the main claim for the service), you have to be betting a lot. In terms of the logistics, 10 Day Challenge is pretty much everything that you would expect from a modern tipster service, especially of this nature. Selections are sent out directly via email, all that you seemingly have to do is place the bets.
Now, the actual insight from Paul Farrar is pretty minimal. Don’t get me wrong, you get enough information to place the bets, but it is far from ideal. Because really, you are very much on your own. Probably not surprisingly, this leads to a recommendation of using an odds comparison site if you can. This will add work, yes, but it is the best way of maximising your chances of hitting 10 Day Challenge’s target.
This is in no small part impacted by the bets that Paul Farrar advises. Rather interestingly for a service like this, there is a very strong focus on long shots here. A look through the (incredibly limited) evidence shows minimum odds of 11/1. With that in mind, it stands to reason that you will want to squeeze the most out of any wins you do have, because I’m not convinced you will be winning all that often (but I’ll come back to this shortly).
One of the few bits of actually helpful insight that we’re given with pertains to the bet types. At the very least, Paul Farrar has the sense to lean take advantage of each way bets with 10 Day Challenge. Given those incredibly substantial odds, it seems like a hell of a risk to simply back to win. Something that is more than evidenced by the number of days that “win” by virtue of a place bet supposedly landing.
Whilst we’re talking about the bets, let’s address the volume of them. The fact is that whilst 10 Day Challenge is not prohibitive, is can certainly get to feel pretty substantial. There are 2 or 3 bets available every single day, which can mean some pretty big stakes. Especially when you factor in the compounding plan that Paul Farrar uses here.
As you would expect given the nature of the challenge, compounding is key to making 10 Day Challenge work. Effectively, the more money that you make, the more Paul Farrar says that you should be reinvesting into your betting bank.
This starts with stakes of £10 per bet and an advised starting bank of just £100. From thereon out, for every extra £100 you earn from there, you are increase your per bet stakes to 10% of your betting bank. This means that by the end of the 10 day period, you are theoretically staking £100 a go. That is quite substantial, no matter how you want to dress it up.
On top of this, there is also the strike rate that we aren’t actually told about. With that said, there is an implication from the results that Paul Farrar provides are that you will be winning around 45% of the time.
When you look at the average odds that are involved, that is a bloody large number and one that I am a bit sceptical of. Yes, in theory the fact that it includes bets placing is some mitigation. But the blunt fact of the matter is that those numbers inferred with 10 Day Challenge are just a little bit too high for what I’d expect from those kinds of odds. .
How Does 10 Day Challenge Work?
Now, let’s talk about how 10 Day Challenge works. You see, there are effectively two different things going on here. First and foremost, there is the fundamental approach that Paul Farrar takes. This is the idea of compounding your stakes in order to increase your profit potential. This is an approach that I have seen a lot of tipsters leverage in my time. This is mostly because in theory, you can make any numbers work with compounding (something worth keeping in mind).
The other element of how 10 Day Challenge works is much more important in my mind. That is what the selection process is. And this is something that is really key for what Paul Farrar is doing here. Because, and I will not beat around the bush on this, if you are going to regularly advise users of bets with odds into double digits, you need to have a very good reason for picking them out.
Unfortunately, there isn’t really any insight into what all of this actually entails. This is massively concerning to me. The frustrating thing is that I don’t expect to see a step by step breakdown of their process. By the same token, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to see… Well, something showing that Paul Farrar actually knows what he’s doing. At the very least you should be informed about 10 Day Challenge, and I just don’t see how you can be here.
It isn’t even like you are given much in the way of evidence. Don’t get me wrong, Paul Farrar does provide some images of betting slips, but I have been around long enough to know that is definitely not concrete evidence. Adding to this somewhat is the fact that it is only for two 10 day periods. Even if you did take at face value that 10 Day Challenge has achieved these results, all that we are being shown is that those particular bets won over a 20 day period.
What is the Initial Investment?
If you wanted to sign up to 10 Day Challenge, there are two options available. The first is what Paul Farrar calls a “Single Challenge Pass”. This gives you access for a single 10 day period and it is priced at £25 (plus VAT). Alternatively, you can sign up for a Multi Program Pass. This gives you 5 10 day periods for a discounted cost of £75 (again, plus VAT).
With both options, Paul Farrar points out that a program pass only expires once there has been a successful 10 day period. This means that if you don’t make that £1,000 figure, you will be automatically enrolled onto the next 10 days. In theory, rolling over ad infinitum. This seems like a decent guarantee.
What is rather interesting to me though is that 10 Day Challenge does actually comes with a full 30 day money back guarantee, regardless of how it performs. This is all backed up by the fact that Paul Farrar is selling the service through Clickbank. Conveniently, and rather concerningly though, this isn’t something that is ever actually mentioned.
What is the Rate of Return?
At its core, the claims for 10 Day Challenge are simple. Paul Farrar says that you can turn £100 into £1,000 in 10 days. Very conveniently for the marketing, this is all of course as a bare minimum. The fact is that when you look at the examples that are actually given, we see claims that previous periods have made £2,115 and £1,570 before day 10 has even started.
This suggests that the actual income potential for 10 Day Challenge is substantially greater than even the sales material suggests. Honestly though, I find it very hard not to be sceptical about all of that.
Conclusion for 10 Day Challenge
One of the things that is interesting when you look at 10 Day Challenge is that there is only one brief, as it were. And that is this. Is this service actually capable of making you £1,000 in 10 days? This is the kind of result where either Paul Farrar delivers, or he doesn’t. There is no middle ground and talking about putting result into context or thinking long term.
All of which begs the question. Will 10 Day Challenge deliver on this? The short answer to this is probably not. Don’t get me wrong, it’s entirely plausible on paper. But betting rarely works like that. First things first, there is the simple fact that Paul Farrar doesn’t actually do much to tell you how exactly finding bets. Not really. What we are treated to are, at best, platitudes.
This is really problematic to me because of the type of bets that Paul Farrar is advising. Not in so much as 10 Day Challenge is based around the those each way bets. That is standard for horse racing. But to be consistently picking out selections at longer odds the way he is… it just seems questionable in my opinion. Especially because of that lack of insight and information.
Meanwhile, the idea of simply compounding your stakes as a method of increasing your profits isn’t good enough on its own. Honestly, there are so many services that like to lean on this like it is some sort of magical way of producing unlimited profits. Somewhat obviously, that simply isn’t the case. The fact is that without a decent selection process, it doesn’t count for much of anything.
Now, I know that there is some evidence that Paul Farrar provides. But I really can’t help but feel like it is a touch questionable. The fact of the matter is that based off what I’ve seen so far, you simply aren’t going to be winning all that often. And that probably won’t come as a surprise really.
No matter how you want to dress it up, you just aren’t going to be winning that often backing horses with odds in the double digits. As appealing as that may sound. You are certainly incredibly unlikely to be getting close to a 45% strike rate, which is exactly what Paul Farrar claims he has been attaining to hit the numbers in the sales material for 10 Day Challenge.
As such, you have a situation where I just don’t see 10 Day Challenge realistically coming together. And at the cost of this service, I do believe that is a bit problematic. Not that Paul Farrar is asking a prohibitive amount, but for the service you are getting, I just don’t see value for money. Especially given the questionable way that the guarantee is set up and marketed.
And when you bring it all together, I just don’t see 10 Day Challenge as being something that I can really recommend. In actual fact, I don’t really see a single genuine reason as to why you would want to take Paul Farrar up on his service. With all of that in mind, I feel like it’s safe to say that this deserves a pretty wide berth.
