Bookie Raider X is a new horse racing tipster service operated by William Brenner and Ryan Neil that claims to be “devastatingly profitable” and can supposedly be used by anybody.
What does the product offer?
It has been a long time since I looked at a tipster service that markets itself in the same fashion as Bookie Raider X, however there are aways (and will always be) marketers who will go to any lengths to make a sale. I’ll go into this in more detail over the course of this review, however to save some time I am hugely sceptical about William Brenner and Ryan Neil’s claims about what this tipster service/betting software are actually capable of.
So, what exactly are you getting? Well there are two different sides to Bookie Raider X according to William Brenner and Ryan Neil and these are tips and a piece of software. The software that you can purchase is for sale however this is at an exorbitant cost that I can’t actually see anybody ever paying. The tips however are much more reasonably priced and are, I feel, the real product that is on offer and so I will be focussing most of my attention on this.
Logistically, Bookie Raider X is a straight forward service with William Brenner and Ryan Neil issuing between 2 and 6 selections each day. These are sent out directly to users email, leaving you to simply place the recommended bets. Then you apparently simply have to sit back and claim your profits.
This of course all sounds too good to be true, and frankly, it probably is. The copy for Bookie Raider X talks at great length about how easy the software and tips are to use. William Brenner and Ryan Neil also talk at great length about how much lower in risk betting is compared to other types of investment. All of this is presented in a fashion that tells you nothing, all whilst making the product seem like a sure thing.
Interestingly, there are certain bits of information that I always look to obtain for a tipster service that “legitimises” it for me. Without these, I remain sceptical of how genuine it is and Bookie Raider X hits none of these boxes. The fact is that William Brenner and Ryan Neil provide no information on staking despite making grandiose claims about how much you can earn. Not surprisingly (to me at least) there is no proofing either. This makes substantiating the vague claim that Bookie Raider X has a high strike rate very difficult. I would also like to highlight the fact that William Brenner and Ryan Neil do not provide any kind of percentage here, simply claiming that it is high.
How does the product work?
The software behind Bookie Raider X (and that you can also purchase) is supposedly based on betting strategies developed by Ryan Neil. Taken at face value, this sounds fine however it is of note that there is no real explanation of what this system entails. This is something that I find rather suspect given that z have supposedly been in partnership for as long as the sales material seems to suggest.
What is the initial investment?
There are three different options available for those who want to receive selections from Bookie Raider X. The first of these is a monthly subscription which costs you £30 per month, supposedly down from £60. The second option is to receive the tips for the full year at a cost of £80, supposedly down from £600. Finally, there is an option to purchase the software itself at a cost of £1,695 (plus VAT). This does buy you a lifetime license.
William Brenner and Ryan Neil do offer a full 60 day money back guarantee on Bookie Raider X as it is sold through Clickbank. It is interesting to note that the monthly and annual subscription costs for Bookie Raider X are listed as being inclusive of VAT, however when you go to the payment page on Clickbank VAT is added on top of this.
What is the rate of return?
Where do you start with the claimed rates of return for Bookie Raider X. Frankly, William Brenner and Ryan Neil make more claims than I feasibly know how to break down however there is one recurring theme and one claim that really stands out. I should point out first of all that most of the examples cited in the sales material for Bookie Raider X are based off “customer testimonials” and many of these start by talking about starting with around £200 and finishing with some kind of 5 figure income.
In terms of the claims about Bookie Raider X’s earnings potential, the one that stands out comes from William Brenner and Ryan Neil themselves and claims that by starting with £200 you can easily expect a five figure income. The copy also goes on to say that if you were able to start with 4 figures instead, you could break 6 figures in a year.
Conclusion
I have a little game I like to play with myself when I’m reviewing this kind of product that I call “Red Flag Bingo”. I’ve talked about the different red flags that I look for before now as almost all services show one or two (which isn’t really a problem). Bookie Raider X however comes as close to filling the metaphorical card as anything that I have ever seen before.
The promises made in the copy simply don’t seem viable with William Brenner and Ryan Neil basing the whole pitch around how supposed betting genius Ryan Neil has achieved magnificent things (none of which are really backed up). This means as well that a lot of the focus is seemingly on older products, none of which are discussed. Given how long Bookie Raider X has supposedly existed in some form or another, I find this to be unacceptable.
There is also the narrative that comes with the copy. This is an old trick to make you feel personable with a sales person and, when genuine, it is very effective. In the case of Bookie Raider X however, there is nothing that makes me believe that events have unfolded in real life along the same lines as William Brenner and Ryan Neil claims. All of this is massively concerning as well.
I could talk at length about things like the lack of proofing, lack of information, lack of evidence and various other basic expectations. The fact is that I simply wouldn’t want to waste any more time on Bookie Raider X than I already have. Whilst I would love to be wrong and for the people who have bought this before now all be sat on the same tropical beaches that William Brenner and Ryan Neil use to advertise their product, I fear this is unlikely to be the case. I would give Bookie Raider X a very wide berth if I were you.
I tracked 126 selections to a loss of 7 points. Waste of time. Although they did seem to pick good value long shots, with many steaming below evens in play. If a few of them won they might actually run at, say, 20% roi but that’s still far from the outrageous claims. Also they tout extremely high strike rate, which is actually 16%.
