CK Rating is a horse racing tipster service operated by Pro Betting Club in conjunction with the unnamed tipster behind the service. It provides specialist ratings based bets.
What does the product offer?
CK Rating is a relatively new horse racing tipster service from Pro Betting Club that according to the sales material is focused on providing professional tips for both the UK and Ireland. The service is a relatively straightforward one with one exception which is how selective CK Rating actually is.
Whilst there can be anywhere from 1-4 selections on a given day, there are sometimes gaps of a few days between tips being sent out.
When they are issued CK Rating sends out win selections with a level staking plan however this is based on 3 points per bet which can add up. This measured approach must have some positive impact on CK Rating as the average strike rate is 40% according to Pro Betting Club.
This doesn’t however paint a full picture with a 13 bet longest losing streak and 2 losing months in 6.
How does the product work?
As is probably pretty apparent from the name, CK Rating is based around a proprietary ratings system. Unfortunately this isn’t something that is ever expanded on by the tipster behind the service or Pro Betting Club.
What does look to be the case however is that CK Rating does appear to have a focus on value with the majority of bets having reasonable odds of between 2.0 and 4.0. It is worth pointing out however that this is only speculative on my behalf.
What is the initial investment?
There are two subscription options offered by Pro Betting Club which are a monthly option as well as a quarterly one. These are billed at a cost of £39.50 and £99 per period respectively.
Regrettably there is no money back guarantee mentioned which I would take to mean that there isn’t anything in place.
What is the rate of return?
Between May and October of this year CK Rating made an overall profit of £20,991. This sounds impressive until you consider that Pro Betting Club have calculated this on £100 stakes which means a 209.91 point profit.
Once again, this sounds god until you consider that CK Rating is based on 3 point stakes meaning that if you actually bet to single point stakes you would have made just 69.97 points.
Conclusion
There are a large number of tipster services on the market and at nearly £40 per month I would personally expect something rather special and in this regard I don’t really think that CK Rating delivers.
It isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination but put bluntly, it isn’t great either. Whilst the service just about succeeds at its goal of making an average of 30 points per month it is only able to do this by staking 3 points per bet.
If it were up to me, I’d personally be shopping elsewhere.
