Inside Secrets is a new horse racing tipster service which is being offered by claimed ex-bookmaking executive Kate Rose. There are some very substantial claims made in terms of profit potential.
Introduction to Inside Secrets
I know that I look at a large number of questionable tipster services, but sometimes, something comes along which I only have to take a glance to realise that it is very unlikely to work. I do not recall a single circumstance under which I have looked at such a service and been wrong (although there is always the capacity for me to be so.
In fact, I would relish it). All of this is of course leading us up the proverbial garden path to xx. The thing is, with some very slick and capable looking marketing and a professional looking website, it is easy to see why people might look at xx and think “Yes, that’s for me!”.
Honestly, zz puts forward everything that people are looking for in the marketing. High profit, low risk and a narrative that makes it all seem plausible. So, with as open a mind as I can muster, let’s take a look at xx.
What Does xx Offer?
In most respects, xx is very straight forward in terms of what is on offer, in more than one respect. Logistically, it is like almost every other tipster service that I have seen like this. By that I mean that it is a daily horse racing tipster service in which zz issues her selections directly to subscribers via email.
The information that is provide in these emails is very basic compared to a service offered from a more reputable tipster. As I often find myself saying with products like xx, Oddschecker will become your friend here.
Keeping with just how straight forward xx actually is, all of the bets that are advised are simple win bets. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of pattern to zz’s selections which means that the quantity of bets that you will be placing each day varies. As does the odds that you will likely find you can get on selections.
This all ties in with a lot of little niggling suspicions that I have about xx and that I will discuss later.
In terms of the staking plan for xx, put bluntly, zz doesn’t seem to have one. At no point is a staking plan or betting bank discussed, both problematic for a number of reasons. If you were going to follow xx for some reason, I would be inclined to stick to level stakes bets and a 100 point bank.
Honestly though, this lack of staking system from zz is somewhat expected. It also presents a lot of problems in terms of xx that I will cover shortly.
Rather interestingly, we aren’t ever given a proper strike rate claim for xx. By this, I mean that zz doesn’t ever sit down and talk about results. There are however a few flippant points made in the marketing that I believe are supposed to set your expectations. First of all, there is a headline which mentions how zz “Shares Her 99% Surefire Horse Racing Tips With You!”.
This is followed up by highly questionable testimonials for xx which claim that they haven’t encountered a losing week.
How Does xx Work?
Supposedly, zz was put into a job as an intern “at the UK’s leading betting company”. Within 10 years, they had supposedly worked their way up to an executive position. In doing so, zz says that she encountered all kinds of insider secrets saying “It’s actually shocking how corrupt the betting industry is”.
Following an incident with the director of said company, zz says that she decided to quit. This led her to “see clearly” how unethical the organization was; working with the bookies to steal thousands of pounds from unsuspecting punters”.
Enter xx. The service is supposedly based on the insider secrets that zz learned of in her time working for the unnamed company. On top of that, she also claims to have “invaluable insider contacts” as well.
The clear implication here is that all of the bets issued by xx are either coming from inside or based on some supposedly corrupt higher organisation. I am highly sceptical of all of this as I am sure you can imagine.
What is the Initial Investment?
There is just one option if you want to subscribe to xx. This is to pay a one time payment of £29.99 (plus VAT). Zz says that this will get you full access to her tips for a whole year.
It is worth noting that payment for xx is handled via Clickbank. This of course means that if you find that the service isn’t for you, there is a full 60 day money back guarantee. To credit xx where I can, this is clearly advertised.
What is the Rate of Return?
The headlining claim from xx is that you will make £90,000 this year. This is backed up by a blatantly questionable screenshot of a betting account with £109,883 in it.
Rather unfortunately, this also features 2014 on the calendar in the corner showing that it has clearly been appropriated.
What stands out to me however is the claim that you are guaranteed to make more than £7,500 in a single month. Given a distinctive lack of a staking plan or proofing, this can be taken as patently false.
Conclusion to Inside Secrets
The marketing for xx looks good. There are pictures of sports cars, exotic locations and spas, all of which are very impressive to look at. Unfortunately, this is about all that I can say if I am trying to be positive about it. It is very shallow and I can’t help but feel like I know why that is (I will get to this later).
I have already highlighted the fact that that the screenshot which supposedly shows the betting bank of zz is actually from 2014. There are numerous mistakes in the marketing. Some of these are simply spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, but some of them are slightly more obvious.
This interestingly brings to mind an article I read about how scammers intentionally include mistakes as a way of weeding out those who won’t fall for their scam.
Obviously I am not saying that xx is a scam by any stretch of the imagination. That would be libellous. It is however a long way from what I would expect from the marketer who is ultimately selling xx. They are very well known to me and the quality of their marketing is usually spot on (even if the products are usually rather questionable).
It shouldn’t come as a surprise at this point to learn that I simply cannot recommend xx at all. I don’t believe that you will make any money following zz’s tips. I certainly don’t believe that it is possible to get close to the numbers that are quoted.
I know that it is cheap, but ultimately, if you are pay a little for something that doesn’t work, you have paid a little for nothing and that adds up.
Very sensible and correct analysis? I fully agree. Have you ever found a reliable service?
