Low Risk Profits is a brand new horse racing tipster service that is operated by Neil Carter. He claims that his approach to betting allows you to keep minimise your risk whilst maximising your profits.
Introduction to Low Risk Profits
I have to be honest and say that in my experience, one of the biggest barriers when it comes to getting started with betting and following a tipster service is the cost. Something that I have acknowledged before is that if you are paying somebody £50 per month for tips, you have to stake a fair old amount just to cover your subs. These stakes are often, in my mind at least, a pretty big barrier. Ultimately, that is just part and parcel of betting, but it doesn’t stop me looking out for options for those who are getting started.
All of that is quite important and ultimately leads me to today’s review subject, Low Risk Profits. Because Neil Carter explicitly talks about how his entire service has been set up to avoid all of this. The whole premise here is that you only have to bet a little, and yet, you can still earn a lot. Putting aside for a moment the fact that there are people who are priced out of betting, this is something that everybody can get on board with. Because whilst one of the main selling points here is that you can start small, that also scales upwards.
So, this is something that is a winner, right? Well… not entirely. You see, whilst there are clearly appealing elements to Low Risk Profits, there is a lot that isn’t. This is one of those (unfortunately) not so rare systems that just call a lot of what the tipster is doing into question. Because whilst Neil Carter clearly has a strategy, and definitely knows how to sell the principles behind his service, the execution (which is of course the most important part) ends up feeling a little bit flat.
What Does Low Risk Profits Offer?
I don’t begrudge a tipster for having an idea. The fact of the matter is that there isn’t necessarily a right or a wrong way to run a service. Like I often point out, some of the most profitable tipster services I’ve looked at are ones that I wouldn’t recommend. On the other hand, there have been services that haven’t performed incredibly that I would. Then there are things like Low Risk Profits.
In theory, it is all very straightforward. Neil Carter has a clear structure going on here and he knows what he wants to do with Low Risk Profits. This is evident all the way through… well, everything. And it isn’t a bad thing. It is frustratingly uncommon in this line of work that there is a thread that runs through a service that you can easily follow.
With Low Risk Profits, this is ensuring that costs are kept low. This is something that you see in terms of the pricing of the service itself, the way that Neil Carter manages it, and even the bets that are placed. And it is because of this that I must rather eschew my usual approach and structure to writing a review. Because everything here is at least somewhat intrinsically linked.
This starts with the fact that Neil Carter bets just Monday to Friday. Why? Well, that’s not something that is discussed (which as I will discuss is a little problematic). But what matters here is that the sales material leans on this to highlight that following Low Risk Profits means that you will only place limited bets. Something that helps keep your overall stakes down.
Now, before I talk about the stakes (because that is an incredibly important part of it all), I have to talk about the bets themselves. Because Low Risk Profits isn’t just about mitigating your costs. A big part of it is the potential returns when a bit lands. How does Neil Carter keep investment low and returns high in horse racing betting? If you guessed using accas, you’d be 100% on the money.
In the case of Low Risk Profits, the service is exclusively based around betting on trebles. Why? I couldn’t really tell you. And nor does Neil Carter, instead preferring to rattle off some inane rubbish that seems like it could be explaining something, but it ultimately isn’t. What this bet type means though is that you can have bets landing with overall odds of 234/1, 259/1 and even 527/1. It certainly looks hugely impressive.
And with stakes of just £3 on each bet, your investment remain minimal. As the sales material is very keen to point out, at most in a given month, you might be betting just £66. That isn’t a huge amount of money by any stretch of the imagination. And because of the odds that are involved, a single win will cover almost 10 months of betting. It’s a great thing.
Whilst we’re talking about winnings, something that is worth noting is that you do have a decent window to maximise your wins as well. You see, whilst the management of Low Risk Profits isn’t anything special, Neil Carter does at least issue them the evening before racing. This means that whilst the actual information provided is pretty minimal, you can easily punch the bets into an odds comparison site and see where your biggest profit potential is.
When you start brining all of this together, it becomes apparent that you really don’t have to be winning all that often. And this is something that Neil Carter is quite upfront about in the sales material for his service. In fact, in 22 betting days, he says that Low Risk Profits found just 2 winning bets. That is a strike rate of just 9%. But in theory, it doesn’t matter. Because even if you had 3 losing months, a single win would take you into big profit.
How Does Low Risk Profits Work?
In my mind, there are two key elements in terms of how Neil Carter presents Low Risk Profits. The first of these is the element that is right there in the name of the service. That idea of being “low risk”. Now, I do take some exception to this. The way that he bets is actually incredibly high risk, as the odds very clearly demonstrate. Simply reducing the stakes doesn’t actually lower the risk. You’re simply reducing your outlay.
The other element that is pushed is the huge returns potential. The sales material makes a big deal out of the fact that Low Risk Profits has the potential to produce hundreds, if not thousands of pounds of profit from those small stakes. Neil Carter really makes a lot out of this saying that it offers significantly better value than betting on 3 horses individually. Which is true to some degree, but the other element is that you need all 3 to win to see any profit.
This mightn’t be a huge problem if there was a solid selection process in place but… well, there doesn’t seem to be. The fact is that when it comes to talking about how Neil Carter is actually finding these horses, there is no information provided at all. Just… well, he says that he has something that is worth paying for, and Low Risk Profits is just that. Does that count? It doesn’t in my mind, I’ll tell you that for nothing.
And that is really about all that we get. Evidence for Low Risk Profits is incredibly sparse with just three examples of winning bets provide (all of which are conveniently from before the service launched) and a screenshot of a Betfair account that supposedly shows £11,639.27 in it. These is no real proofing, no looking at bets that haven’t won… There is no real mitigating factors for the lack of anything here.
What is the Initial Investment?
Going back to that point about Low Risk Profits being a low investment, I want to talk about Neil Carter’s pricing. He says that a “measly” £25 per month (plus VAT) is all that this will cost you. This is of course after implying that the value of the service could reasonably be £300 or £200 (it couldn’t).
If you want better value than that, Low Risk Profits also comes with an option to receive selections for 6 full months. This will cost you “just” £90 (again, plus VAT) which works out at £15 per month. This is referred to by Neil Carter as his “best offer”.
Whichever option you choose, Low Risk Profits does come with a full 30 day money back guarantee. This is featured prominently in the sales material with Neil Carter saying that “If for some reason you refuse to make money with this (even through ANYONE can)…” or if you feel it is not right for you, you can claim your refund. This is of course all backed up by Clickbank as well meaning that you shouldn’t have any issues with this.
What is the Rate of Return?
The headline for Low Risk Profits is that you can pull in “Over £1,000 Per Month!” using the service. Neil Carter also claims that starting with £100 he has been able to turn this into £11,639.27 in just 6 months. In the meantime, we are shown bets with returns of £701.25, £780, and £1,584. All from those £3 stakes. And that is an incredibly important point.
In my mind, what Neil Carter is implying here is that in 6 months, he has produced a profit of 3,879.75 points of profit. Almost 4,000 points of profit in 6 months. For some context on this, a tipster who achieved 10% of this in a year would be seen to have performed particularly well. As such, I am rather sceptical of these numbers.
Conclusion for Low Risk Profits
Low Risk Profits is supposed to be low risk. That isn’t a controversial statement. It is in fact right there in the name. But I have one quite major issue with what Neil Carter is doing, and that is that I don’t think it is low risk. Because, and this shouldn’t be a controversial statement, there is a lot of difference between low outlay and investment and low risk.
Let me put this into context. Investing in Amazon is ultimately pretty low risk. Sure, a share might set you back more than £3,000. But if you’ve got 10 years to spare, pending something unseen, you’re going to turn a profit. At the opposite end of the scale, you’ve got penny shares. Small companies that you really have to take a punt on. Obviously not all of them are bad, but will they be in the same position as Amazon in 10 years?
This is the same thing with Low Risk Profits. Neil Carter equates not spending a lot of money to not being risky. But I don’t believe that for a single second. Whilst he may only end up staking in a month what some tipsters will stake in a day, what you have to question are the returns. Will your investment yield a profit?
Let’s be honest here. The big winners that Neil Carter is so keen to talk about are incredibly unlikely to happen. Mathematically, you’re looking at maybe one or 2 a year if you’re lucky. That makes it incredibly high risk in my mind. But I can’t help but feel like all of this is ultimately by design.
When it comes to managing a tipster service, one of the biggest challenges is managing people’s expectations. And there are fundamentally two ways you can do this. Firstly, you can win relatively frequently. You can point to a solid track record, so if you do hit a rough patch, it’s justifiable. Alternatively, you can take the route that Low Risk Profits takes. That is to say, keep telling people to stick with you because at some point, they’ll hit a big win.
If you have an unscrupulous vendor, they only have to keep you on board with their betting for 30 days before that money back guarantee ends. And of course, they can keep promising that you have to have faith in the system. That eventually there will be a winner. Because the mathematical likelihood of it happening is so small. If there is a winner, result. If there isn’t, just keep hanging on.
Now, I know that is incredibly cynical. But I’ve seen it happen time and again. The thing is, this cynicism isn’t without cause. Let’s not forget that aside from the fact that Low Risk Profits isn’t actually low risk, Neil Carter doesn’t tell you much about how he’s finding these bets. You’re just… taking his word for it all. And by a huge coincidence, he is the one person who stands to profit here.
You can take from that what you will, but what I don’t see here is anything low risk. The betting strategy isn’t low risk. The service itself certainly isn’t low risk. And on top of that, I don’t even think that this is particularly inexpensive. It certainly isn’t cheap enough to be worth a punt for a bit of a laugh.
And with all of that in mind, it probably shouldn’t come as any surprise to anybody that I wouldn’t really look to recommend Low Risk Profits. In actual fact, I would recommend giving this a pretty wide berth. There certainly doesn’t seem to be much point taking on the “low risk” that Neil Carter is so keen to push.
