Betting With the Best is a horse racing tipster service provided by a tipster simply known as “Dave”. It is provided as a part of the Betfan stable of tipsters.
What does the product offer?
Betting With the Best is an email based horse racing tipster service from the Betfan group that has gotten off to a strong start to 2015. Betting With the Best is an almost daily service with there being the occasional day where selections are not offered to members. As well as advising subscribers of selections, Dave also notifies Betting With the Best subscribers of the staking that is required too. This is because the system has staking that varies from 1 point all the way up to 5 points per race. The odds that you will be betting on are hugely varied with bets coming in the form of singles, doubles and each way. This is all combined with a strike rate of around 23% per month which is hardly reassuring.
How does the product work?
According to Dave, selections for Betting With the Best come from a combination of his “inside sources” (a claim that is never substantiated or explored) as well as his own unique betting system. As with the inside sources, this isn’t explored either which is disappointing.
What is the initial investment?
Betfan are marketing Betting With the Best at the “realistic” price of £59 every 28 days with a “real bargain” being on offer at 90 days for £118. On a slightly more genuinely reasonable note, Betting With the Best does come with a 21 day trial for just £9.97. In terms of a money back guarantee, there is the usual Betfan policy which states that whilst they don’t typically offer refunds, they will review requests.
What is the rate of return?
Since its launch in August 2014, Betting With the Best has made an overall profit of 95.89 points. Whilst this looks reasonable on paper, it is worth noting that this does include 2 losing months, one of which almost halved the profits. Furthermore, there was a particularly exceptional month in September which Betting With the Best has not even got close to matching since
Conclusion
Betfan and their products are becoming increasingly expensive which is a concern as the products are not getting any better and in fact, seem to be getting much riskier every time. This is pretty well evidenced in Betting With the Best which despite ultimately being in profit and getting off to a strong start this year, also shows how big losses can be incurred with ease. In the case of Betting With the Best I simply don’t see enough evidence to suggest that this service will be able to produce a consistent profit and that is key to any tipster service. The fact is that there are better options available for substantially less money and that is the bottom line here. There simply isn’t enough value in Betting With the Best to justify it as an investment in my opinion.
