Each Way Doubles is a new to market horse racing tipster service which is operated by one Chris Dodson. He claims some very substantial profits with seemingly little in the way of outlay.
Introduction to Each Way Doubles
It is interesting to me that so many tipsters out there offer “get rich quick” services. Sure, they might (vehemently) tell you that they’re not. But if someone is saying that you can make thousands of pounds in a week or a month with their betting advice, it is a little bit of that. And I get why they do it. As much as I know that actual serious betting is a long haul to the top, I too love the thought of making a full time income with no real work. Unfortunately, as you can tell from where I’m writing this, I’m yet to find such a service.
All of this is quite important for me to establish because today’s review subject, Each Way Doubles is a doozy. Almost all of the focus of the marketing is on how much money you can make, how much other people have made, and all of it in a very short space of time really. Yet Chris Dodson paints this as being a very legitimate service, seemingly with bags of evidence backing up his claims. There is plenty of talk of big profits and honestly, it is all very impressive looking. As you would probably expect.
Naturally, I do have some concerns and questions surrounding Each Way Doubles. You see, whilst there is seemingly a huge amount of evidence provided for the service, much of it is… Shall we say easily manipulated. As such, when Chris Dodson give s you this barrage of seemingly concrete evidence, I can’t help but call it into question to at least some degree. Now, I’ll wholeheartedly admit that this could simply be me being cynical. But a big part of this work in my eyes is ensuring that you question everything. So, let’s get into this, and see just how much it delivers.
What Does Each Way Doubles Offer?
The core concept of Each Way Doubles is a very simple one. In actual fact, it is right there in the name of it. Now, as I am always quick to highlight with reviews like Each Way Doubles, simple doesn’t necessarily need to mean bad. The truth of the matter is I would personally take a somewhat straightforward and moderately profitable approach to betting over something that is hugely profitable, but involves a lot of risk and big money.
So, what exactly makes Each Way Doubles such a straightforward service? Well, it’s sort of there in the name, if I’m really honest. And with that in mind, I do want to start by talking about the bets that you will be placing. Because, as you might expect, Chris Dodson exclusively provides users with each way doubles.
In theory, this is a very reasonable seeming approach. The fact of the matter is that if you are backing even the small accumulators that you see in doubles, you inherently increase the risk. After all, you need two favourable outcomes rather than one. However, by backing them on an each way basis, you open up the potential to theoretically still score smaller wins if a horse just places. It’s a very solid approach on paper.
What stands out to me a lot when I look at Each Way Doubles isn’t simply the fact that you are betting in this fashion, so much as the odds that you are betting at. Because honestly, they are pretty bloody substantial. For example, if you look at the proofing (of sorts) that Chris Dodson provides, all bets are big ones.
The shortest odds that are shown area 5/1. Now in the context of Each Way Doubles, this might not seem all that significant. Especially next to the bets that have supposedly come in at 28/1 and 22/1. But let me tell you, if you look at most races, these kinds of odds are generally what you would expect to see on a horse that is distinctly middle of the pack. And let’s not forget, that is the lowest odds advised.
Now, on the subject of odds, there are two things for additional consideration. Firstly, if you want to get the most out of this, you do want to be trying to use a BOG bookmaker where possible. Occasionally, odds can drift quite substantially, and you should look to exploit that. Secondly, you should use an odds comparison site. From what I have seen, getting the odds that Chris Dodson advises for Each Way Doubles isn’t as easy as it should be. As such, you should be working to maximise returns yourself.
Logistically, Each Way Doubles is everything that you would expect. Selections are sent out to subscribers directly via email, usually on the morning of racing. Albeit , sometimes a little bit late in the morning. Something that you should definitely keep in mind if you work a nine to five and you’re looking to boost your income a bit, and doubly so if you are going to try and get the best possible odds. Fortunately, there is only one bet per day, which counts for something.
This really only leaves a few things to talk about here. Firstly, there is the staking plan. Chris Dodson recommends that you back all bets to 2 points. This means an effective point on the win double, and on the place double. That all makes sense. As does the betting bank. At 100 points, I think there is adequate coverage for any drawdown there in theory.
However, an area where I do find Each Way Doubles to be at least somewhat questionable is the strike rate. Chris Dodson claims that this number should come in at 42.3%. However, this is based entirely off of 26 bets placed in April with returns on 11 of them. This is hardly a substantial data sample to be claiming such a strong result, and even that is only if you really buy into the evidence.
How Does Each Way Doubles Work?
Chris Dodson talks a lot about how Each Way Doubles works. At least… Sort of. Honestly, the material is one of those fantastic examples in which we are told a lot, and absolutely nothing a the same time. And rather concerningly to me, the information that is focused on most of all surrounds arguably the least important bit of the whole service.
You see, Chris Dodson is seemingly very proud of combining his staking plan with the bet type. So much so that it is very much at the centre of how the service supposedly works. The idea is that because you’re only ever risking £20 per day, it means that Each Way Doubles is all very manageable. Meanwhile, the high odds double bets mean that if you win, you really do win pretty big. On paper, it sounds good. I’m not sure it constitutes much of a “system” though.
And of course, it still begs the question of how the selections are actually being identified. Here, Chris Dodson simply says “Every day I look at the full list of races on offer, I make my picks and then narrow down the selections to get my best 2 value selections”. A statement that is incredibly vague and doesn’t actually tell us anything about how selections for Each Way Doubles are found. Something that is incredibly concerning to me.
About the only thing that you can really say definitively helps with understanding what to expect from Each Way Doubles are the various betting slips that Chris Dodson provides. In theory, this counts as a month of proofing. Except, I’m not entirely convinced that it is. I want to talk about this later when I take a wider look at Each Way Doubles, but I am not convinced these are as genuine as they first appear to be.
What is the Initial Investment?
Chris Dodson has jut one option available if you want to subscribe to Each Way Doubles. This is a 60 day package which will cost you a one time payment of £47 plus VAT. This one time payment structure is quite a curious thing to me though. Given that this is supposed to be a sustainable service, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask why there is only a limited option.
Talking of things that are interesting, Each Way Doubles does come with a money back guarantee. This is a full 30 day affair and is backed up by Clickbank (through whom Chris Dodson is selling the service). This means that in theory, you shouldn’t have any problems claiming this if you so desired. However, it is very important to keep in mind that once those 30 days have elapsed, you may struggle.
What is the Rate of Return?
There are a lot of numbers thrown about in terms of how much you can expect to make through Each Way Doubles. The headlining figure is “£2,673.20 PROFIT IN 30 DAYS WITH JUST
ONE BET PER DAY…”. This number is based off the month of April for which Chris Dodson provides evidence in the form of his betting slips.
However, that is only a part of the bigger picture. Because what we are also shown are a huge number of testimonials and emails that claim varying amounts of income. These range from making £7,400 profit in 3 months, to £5,200 in 2 months, and over £2,000 in a single month. Notably, all of these numbers happen to track with Chris Dodson’s claims, however, I don’t put too much weight behind them.
Conclusion for Each Way Doubles
Taking Each Way Doubles on face value, I see absolutely no reason at all why you wouldn’t want to take Chris Dodson up on his offer. I mean, this is a veritable bargain! After all, 3 different people have all showed that they’ve made profits that are in line with the claims in the sales material. And then of course there is the fact that we are shown a whole months worth of betting and how that has been profitable.
But let’s just take a step back for a minute. I have come to learn that in this industry, unfortunately, there aren’t many things that you can take at face value. Doing so rarely leads to good things. Firstly, and I know that this might seem overly cynical of me, but I question those testimonials. The fact of the matter is that they are the easiest thing to manipulate.
Adding to this concern is the fact that this is a newly launched product. And yet, people have been using for as far back as 3 months. Furthermore, what you’re getting are incredibly cropped screenshots of said emails. So, whilst they could be genuine, on balance of probability, I wouldn’t sign up to a service off the back of any of that.
Well, what about the proofing? This is arguably stronger in terms of evidence and what that counts for. But again, I find them to be a little bit questionable. The fact of the matter is that every questionable tipster service I have looked at has used a variant of this type of betting slip to demonstrate their profit. More often than not, they have ended up closing down the line. That doesn’t mean Each Way Doubles will go the same way, but it is a cause for concern.
But let’s just put all of that to one side for a second and talk about the chances of Each Way Doubles actually winning as often as is claimed. This is a service that favours long shots. Chris Dodson actively talks about how he doesn’t back favourites. And I can say with my hand on my heart that I have never seen a tipster actually hit a strike rate of 42% betting on long shot place bets. Never mind doubling them up.
Honestly, I could keep going with the doubts for Each Way Doubles. If Chris Dodson has been tipping for 3 months (as the testimonials suggest) where is the proofing for that? Why hasn’t proofing continued after the service has gone live? There is that slight idiosyncrasy between the subscription period and the refund period. All of it inevitably ends up adding up. And with the costs involved, this isn’t even that cheap.
So, bringing all of this together, I don’t really think that I would look at Each Way Doubles and recommend it. Even if you were to put all of the above aside, it is based on a questionable premise with no real insight into why you are betting on what you are betting on. And it isn’t like Chris Dodson really demonstrates any knowledge of horse racing outside of “value”. It’s all a bit vague, it isn’t backed up by substantial evidence, and with all of that in mind, I can’t see a reason to shell out more than £55 for it.
