Flash Gains is a sports betting and horse racing service which aims to provide users with opportunities whereby they can theoretically bet for a guaranteed profit.
What does the product offer?
Flash Gains is a supremely interesting betting product that isn’t really like anything that I have ever seen before. It is mostly concerned with an odd hybrid of arbitrage and dutching opportunities between combinations of both bookmakers and betting exchanges. Flash Gains refers to these as BTF or back the field which comes from a term whereby users back every outcome in a race.
When such an opportunity arises, the Flash Gains team send out an email to their customers stating what bets they should look to place in order to profit. Flash Gains looks at a number of sports (although different packages cover different examples) which range from horse racing and football to baseball and F1.
In terms of the numbers, there aren’t really any provide and this is a difficult thing to really calculate dur to the nature of Flash Gains as a product.
How does the product work?
Flash Gains is actually based the results from a piece of software which Flash Gains says is constantly scanning potential events.
These are assessed to produce a book percentage which ultimately determines the potential of a bet. For those who aren’t familiar with the term, the book tells you how “fair” a bet is going to be and whether the edge lies with a punter or a the bookmaker.
All you have to do is tell Flash Gains what book percentage you are happy to receive selections for and the team do the hard work for you. All you have to do is place the relevant bets when you receive notifications.
What is the initial investment?
There are 4 different levels of subscription that you can take advantage of with Flash Gains. These start out an entry level service that looks at horse racing, football and 5 other “fringe” sports with delays on emails ranging from 1 minute to 15 minutes.
This is priced at £24 per month. The prices then go up (with wider access to sports and less delays) all the way to Flash Gains’s elite level package which is priced at £42 per month and covers all sports with no delay. There is also an option to trial Flash Gains for 14 days on similar terms to the basic package at a cost of £12.
What is the rate of return?
The Flash Gains team make a point of saying that this service isn’t designed to be a get quick rich scheme. Their entire approach seems to be geared towards building a consistent and steady stream of income rather than huge lump sums.
Conclusion
From what I have seen, Flash Gains is one of the more interesting options in terms of betting that I have looked at recently.
There isn’t really anything else like it on the market that I am aware of which usually means one of two things. One is that it has been tried before and it doesn’t work, or nobody has thought of it and it will make a killing.
At this time, I wouldn’t like to put money on which way it will go. The fact is that this is a somewhat bespoke service that is focussed a lot on individual needs and that is something that too many betting services choose to ignore.
At this point, I would tentatively recommend giving Flash Gains a look as there is plenty of promise, however I also wouldn’t say this is something that you should be jumping into with both feet.
One thing I would like to say, is that betting on many different markets ‘could’ lead to becoming on the bookmaker’s radar, as it could look like you are an arber, which bookmakers try to avoid, so just be aware.
