Pro Bet Banker is a new to market horse racing tipster service which is operated by one Hugh Goldman. Supposedly, the service has produced some very strong profits indeed.
Introduction to Pro Bet Banker
There are a lot of reasons that one might be cynical of a tipster service and their claims. And many of these are with good reason. I’ll make no bones about it. There is a hell of a lot of crap on the market. And learning what the red flags are is pretty much crucial in my opinion to ensuring that you keep a sensible head. Because it is far too easy to get caught up in pictures of exotic and expensive sports cars, luxury mansions, and tropical beaches. I know, because in my earlier days, I’ve been there, done that, lost the money.
This brings me to today’s subject, Pro Bet Banker. A tipster service that features on the sales page pictures exotic and expensive sports cars, luxury mansions, and tropical beaches. Well, a jet flying over a tropical island, but let’s not split hairs. On top of this, tipster Hugh Goldman makes some truly incredible statements about the income potential of his selections. We’re talking about truly life changing money. And I can say with confidence that if even a tenth of those claimed results can be delivered on, we are onto a winner here.
Building on this, if you were to take Hugh Goldman at face value about his claims, there would be no question about this. His supposed background in horse racing and his claimed understanding is very impressive. However, I will say that there are a few little niggles with Pro Bet Banker that just don’t sit right with me. Things that, frankly, suggest that perhaps there is a very good cause for doubt here. So, let’s get right into the how and why of this.
What Does Pro Bet Banker Offer?
I want to start by quoting a sub header for Pro Bet Banker. Because Hugh Goldman does a much better job in telling us what we can supposedly expect form this than I could. Effectively, we are told, “PRO BET BANKER has the potential to bring a total newcomer into a substantial daily betting income stream immediately…”. That is one hell of a claim to make. Furthermore, we are told, he is going to personally show us how it’s done.
Well, that’s a bloody impressive start to things. Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually look like the wider service really lines up with this. Because the fact of the matter is that I genuinely believe that Pro Bet Banker is pretty subpar as far as tipster services go. Especially in terms of how Hugh Goldman goes about managing things.
First things first, let’s talk about the logistics. I often say that receiving your selections via email is industry standard at this point. And I will stand by that. If you’re paying for a tipster service, in my opinion, the very least that you should be able to expect is for them to send you your tips in a convenient(ish) fashion. Hugh Goldman does not offer this with Pro Bet Banker though.
Instead, you have to log into a member’s area on the website every day. This isn’t end of the world stuff, but it’s a bit bloody archaic. It also opens the door to missing bets, having issues getting into said member’s area, and a host of other problems that simply sending an email would fix. And with so many mailing list hosts available these days, I don’t really see a reason for this not to be the main option here.
It isn’t even like you’re getting any extra insight that warrants this approach. Some tipsters I know of do this because it allows them to provide detailed write ups of why a selection has been made. But here you really are just getting the bare essentials of what you will need to place a bet.
In terms of the bets that you will actually be placing, well, Pro Bet Banker seems to be wholly unremarkable. Everything that I have seen so far (which I will concede is not necessarily a huge amount) suggests that you will mostly be dealing with simple back to win bets. However, I wouldn’t want to write off other bet types emerging later.
Something that I do want to touch on are the odds involved. Pro Bet Banker is a pretty mixed affair with a decent range of odds covered. In theory, this isn’t a bad thing. It should provide a steady stream of winners combined with some bigger wins that help you to really boost your betting bank. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work out like that.
Combine that with the fact that you don’t always have the most time to actually get decent odds and if I were to follow Pro Bet Banker, I would definitely be using an odds comparison site. The fact is that the nature of this means that you really should be trying to maximise every win because they just don’t appear to be happening quite as often as advertised.
Which brings me to the strike rate for Pro Bet Banker. Or rather, the sort of lack thereof. You see, Hugh Goldman tells us that his bets are “of the very highest possible strike rate and fully suitable for professional or newcomer alike”. What kind of strike rate? You know, an actual numerical value? Forget about it. Honestly, it is quite questionable really.
Especially when you factor in that the staking plan for Pro Bet Banker. This means that whilst you’re actually waiting for that “highest possible strike rate” to start working, you may well be losing a fair old amount of money. A point that Hugh Goldman conveniently fails to mention, and a point that becomes particularly poignant when we talk about the income potential.
On top of all of this, Hugh Goldman says that he takes you through the “step by step approach to successful betting for profit”. This supposedly allows you to see your own strongest betting opportunities “on any day or evening”. Honestly though, this isn’t exactly the best thing and seems more tacked on than anything else.
How Does Pro Bet Banker Work?
Pretty much key to all of Pro Bet Banker is Hugh Goldman’s claimed history in betting. He says that he once worked as an odds compiler for a bookmaking firm in Hong Kong. As such, he supposedly knows how odds are established and set and how much they are tilted in the bookies favour. Fair enough, I suppose. I can see how that adds value to a tipster service.
From there, the sales material drastically changes tack and starts talking about how Pro Bet Banker is a betting service you can trust and that it is run by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. That this system is “NOT the usual internet rubbish” and that it is “NOT a product designed by someone who knows nothing about betting”. This is all very good, however, it does rather lack any evidence backing it all up.
Now, I know, we get given access to the system that Hugh Goldman provides, but I’m not overly impressed, if I’m honest. It isn’t necessarily that it’s terrible. There is generally always some merit to betting systems. But it feels a long way from a complete product in my mind. Especially compared to some of the other betting systems that are on the market. And furthermore, it just feels secondary to the tipster service.
On top of all of this, there just isn’t a whole lot of evidence provided in my eyes that Pro Bet Banker works. When you consider that Hugh Goldman has supposedly been doing this for a fair old time, you would expect him to provide some sort of proofing. After all, you would expect an experience bettor to have kept those results and to be able to share them.
What is the Initial Investment?
If you want to sign up to Pro Bet Banker, there are two different options available. The first of these is a monthly subscription. This is priced at £14.95 (plus VAT) and is billed every 30 days. This has the lowest outlay, however, it represents the worst value.
Alternatively, Hugh Goldman offers a “Lifetime Subscription”. This is a one time cost of £69.95 (again, plus VAT). We are told this is a limited time offer with a clock ticking down, however, this seems to be nothing more than lazy marketing as it also refreshes when it runs out too. Adding to this theory, if you look at the monthly payment screen for long enough, you will be offered the lifetime subscription at a discounted rate of £49 (plus VAT).
What is noteworthy is that Pro Bet Banker is being sold through Clickbank. This means that there is a full 60 day money back guarantee in place should you find that the service isn’t for you. And because of the involvement of Clickbank, you shouldn’t have too many problems claiming this. To his credit, Hugh Goldman does mention this in the sales material.
What is the Rate of Return?
Hugh Goldman claims that he personally makes more than £250,000 per year with the same system and selections that he is sharing through Pro Bet Banker. That is a huge sum of money which is “ backed up” by the only real bit of tangible evidence that we are given for this service, a somewhat questionable screenshot of a Betfair account with £35,406.72 in it.
Conclusion for Pro Bet Banker
There is a lot about Pro Bet Banker that is just a bit off. So much so that it’s honestly pretty difficult to know where to start with it all. Especially because on the surface of things, it really does look like you should be on to a winner here. I mean, Hugh Goldman isn’t asking a lot of money in the grand scheme of thigs, he is talking about making 1 substantial 6 figure income, and all with very little work.
But there is just a lot that feels off. Let’s start with something a little bit subtle here. Hugh Goldman expunges a lot of energy convincing you that he is legit, above board, and genuine. “You need a betting service you can trust which is run by someone who knows exactly what they are doing”, “a genuine service, designed by a betting expert”, and… Well, honestly, a host of statements in a similar vein.
Of course, actual tangible evidence of these things working isn’t exactly forthcoming. Hugh Goldman provides very little in the way of evidence simply relying on the provision of the “Pro Bet Banker system” to do the heavy lifting. Which would be all well and good if you were getting a system that… Well, had evidence backing up its ability to work. But you don’t. Just something that looks good on paper.
Where this is concerning for me is simply the amount of times I have seen systems that work on paper simply not work in practice. The fact of the matter is that there isn’t really a shortcut to betting success. Even the best products that I have looked at require work to get the
re. Do they ultimately provide a profit? Absolutely, but they don’t sell you a shortcut to wealth and acknowledge the work.
What these genuine systems also don’t do is make claims of making £250,000 a year. That is a ridiculous amount of profit to be pulling in. Even with very substantial stakes, I genuinely believe that you’d struggle to see this kind of result. Of course, it is also noteworthy to highlight that Hugh Goldman doesn’t actually tell you how much he is betting to attain this result. Which only hammers home the concern about a lack of proofing or records for Pro Bet Banker.
If you want my bottom line on Pro Bet Banker, it is this. Everything in betting is a risk. It is just up to us how calculated we want those risks to be. I can see how Hugh Goldman has put together an appealing package here. And I will concede that technically, there isn’t really any damning evidence of this being bad.
Everything that I have seen so far isn’t large enough that I would call it a decent sample size. Nor does using a stock image of “yourself” necessarily amount to a crime. And sloppy copy could simply be a typo. God knows, I make enough of those. With that said, I don’t spend my energy telling you how much better I am than everyone else and asking for your money. And building on that, I also want to point out that there isn’t really evidence backing anything up either.
And this is where experience speaks for a lot. Because I can tell you now that I have seen plenty of tipsters come and go that fit this same mould. Huge claims of income? Check. Lazy copy? Check. Seemingly giving you lots for your money? Check. But here’s the thing. Those systems have all been quietly closed and are no longer available really. Does that mean Pro Bet Banker is categorically going the same way? Not at all. But if I were a betting man, I know where I’d put my money.
Hugh Goldman has changed his name to James Harrison on the latest sales page of Probet Banker, yet his CV us exactly the same……… I leave that to your intelligence. David
Hi there
I recently joined probet banker after reading about their success.
What a disaster . They only pick favourites to win and at least half of them are odds on
In the last 5 days since paying my joining fee
These are the results. 20 horses selected 14 LOST. 7 WON STRIKE RATE 35%
Based on £100 stakes there was a net loss every day amounting to £1035 for 5 days.
I have a full analysis of all the results if you want the proof.
I feel this tipster is a big c*n .
Would appreciate any feedback as they dont respond to any of my comments.
The seven horses that WON WERE 2/5. 2/9. 4/6. 1/8 1/5 1/2 and 6/4
How pathetic are these results .i have already asked for a refund please don’t recommend this site
Regards lawrence gilbert 07971088998
I am unable to reach the members area, so no bets to place. Far too many short price and odd on bets.
The website seems to be off ait. Has he done ‘a runner’? It certainly looks that way. Claims made for making money appear false
Don’t join.
