Racer Sharp is a brand new horse racing tipster service from one Timothy “Tim” Sharpe. He claims to be able to turn a suspiciously high profit in a short space of time.
Introduction to the Racer Sharp Tipster Service
I always love a tipster service wherein the tipster has decided to push just about every controversial statement that they can to the forefront.
This type of marketing, which I internally think of as the “I don’t care” approach, is all about trying to sell a product by demonstrating that you don’t need to sell it. It’s a bold move and one which rarely enamours me towards a tipster and Tim Sharpe isn’t any different.
“THE MASTER OF PRECISION TIPPING” (taken directly from the headline for Racer Sharp), claims in the first paragraph.
If Racer Sharp and Tim Sharpe are genuine, this seems like Anthony Joshua challenging a 9 year old to a boxing match to prove he can knock somebody out. This does settle down eventually, but the fact of the matter is that Racer Sharp comes in with a very certain approach, and Tim Sharpe seems keen to double down on it. That doesn’t however mean that it is good.
What Does Racer Sharp Offer?
The set up of Racer Sharp is a very straight forward one. Selections are sent out directly to subscribers via email. These are issued on a near daily basis with Tim Sharpe saying that there are days with none runners as well as days where there simply aren’t really any bets available.
It is advised that once you receive your email, you place bets with a bookie although there is mention with Racer Sharp about the possibility of using an exchange “when” your accounts get restricted.
In terms of the bets that are provided through Racer Sharp, that theme of being incredibly straight forward somewhat continues.
From what I have seen, all bets are advised as straight win bets. Tim Sharpe looks at a range of odds when betting although he says that he doesn’t bet below odds of 1.5. Whilst there doesn’t appear to be any upper limit in terms of odds, Racer Sharp does seem to level out once you get into middling odds. The volume of selections is small, rarely getting above 2 bets per day.
Naturally, there is a staking plan in place for Racer Sharp and it is a very bold one in my book. Tim Sharpe recommends level stakes of 1 point per bet which is all well and god.
More concerning however is that Racer Sharp is based on a betting bank of just 20 points. Now the sales material suggests that due to the strike rate, this shouldn’t be a problem, but to me it really is. 20 points is not a lot and given that there is no real evidence that Racer Sharp is as strong as is suggested.
All of this brings me on to the strike rate for Racer Sharp. Tim Sharpe claims that this sits at an astounding 80.5%. For win bets of the odds involved here, that represents a phenomenal achievement, even if Tim Sharpe says that he set out to achieve an average strike rate of 95%. This sounds well and good, however it should be kept in mind that there is absolutely no evidence provided to back this claim up.
How Does Racer Sharp Work?
Given his confidence, you would be forgiven for thinking that Tim Sharpe would be keen to demonstrate how he is able to make so much money. Unfortunately, and not at all surprising to me, that just isn’t the case.
He talks about how The Racer Sharp Formula “offers pin point precision and accuracy in making selections”, however there isn’t any information on how it does that. There is just nothing that is really said about how Racer Sharp works. The only thing that is really suggested is that Tim Sharpe’s tips are very good.
This is particularly problematic for me, in no small part because of the claimed results. Racer Sharp is supposedly hugely profitable and with no proofing, you would at least expect some information on what the selection process entails. That way, you can at least make some kind of informed decision about what you are getting into. All of this does not instil a lot of confidence in Racer Sharp as a service to me.
What is the Initial Investment?
Tim Sharpe says that before you actually buy Racer Sharp as a complete product, he wants to give you 60 days in order to trial the service and make sure that it is for you.
It is important to note that this is the only option if you are interested in the service, and that there is absolutely no mention about what the future costs may be, despite alluding to the fact that there will be future costs. With that said, this initial 60 days will set you back £29.95.
By a seemingly massive coincidence, as well as encouraging you to give Racer Sharp a go for 60 days, this is the same duration as the money back guarantee that is in place. Tim Sharpe is selling the service through Clickbank so you should have no problems with a refund if required.
What is the Rate of Return?
The results for Racer Sharp are seemingly incredible. There is simply no getting around this. Tim Sharpe claims that the service has produced a profit of 100 points per month on average. At 1200 points a year, the income potential here is seemingly limitless.
It should be kept in mind however that there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that these profits are genuine. This is all incredibly concerning and honestly, does more to harm what little credibility Racer Sharp has than bolster it.
Conclusion on Racer Sharp
I cannot recall any product that has so blatantly asked for subscribers to come in blind. Generally speaking, I come to products expecting to not necessarily have all of the answers and that is OK to some degree. What shouldn’t be the case however is products which have absolutely no substance to them outside of a promise of a large sum of money for a very small investment.
If we look at Racer Sharp, Tim Sharpe claims that he has based his ludicrous earning potential off two months. In spite of this, there is no proofing provided for this time period. Something that you would honestly think would be particularly easy to provide. This concerns me greatly and is the first of many problems with Racer Sharp.
As mentioned, there is no actual indication of what you can expect from the system behind the tips, nor is there any real insight into what you can expect over a longer period of time.
Another thing that perturbs me deeply is the seeming coincidence that the subscription length for Racer Sharp is the same as the money back guarantee.
Whilst I wouldn’t like to say that it is definitely the case here, I have known unscrupulous tipsters who will keep leading you on for those 60 days and as soon as you can’t get a refund, they start shutting things down and move onto the next operation. Now I don’t want to say that Tim Sharpe is doing this, but it is hard to ignore certain things as well.
The main takeaway from the sales material for me is that Racer Sharp is a massive risk. In spite of this, Tim Sharpe seems to be of the opinion that he is better than you and that you should be willing to follow his advice just because he’s that good. I don’t know of many tipster services that talk about “when” your betting accounts will be closed.
The whole thing sees to have been designed to appeal to those who are desperate and perhaps looking for a quick income, and the sad truth is that the most likely outcome if you follow Racer Sharp is that you will lose money.
