The Angle is a new horse racing tipster service operated by a tipster known only as Neil that provides users with selections that are allegedly based on inside information.
What does the product offer?
The Angle is a seemingly occasional horse racing tipster service that is sold mostly on the back of the creators claimed contacts within the racing industry. The service is an exceedingly selective one with The Angle offering jus 2-3 bets per week to subscribers. Referred to as private bets, these are all win bets and involve betting on rather varied odds however these are rarely exceptional. In fact, recent examples showing odds of around or just over evens.
What is interesting is after saying that The Angle provides only select tips, he says in another part of The Angle sales material that they “pass on the best piece of inside information received that day”.
Neil looks at a variety of different races when selecting tips for The Angle saying that he has contacts both in the UK and Ireland with horses that run in national hunt races as well as flat racing. Staking for The Angle is advised at anywhere from 1 points to 5 points per bet.
Unfortunately, there isn’t any real proofing to calculate a strike rate, nor is one provided.
How does the product work?
As the entire premise of The Angle is built upon and the creator frequently informs us, The Angle is based around inside information As I have mentioned before, Neil claims to have a number of contacts in stables across the UK and Ireland however this isn’t anything that is expanded on.
What is the initial investment?
The Angle is pretty far from cheap with subscriptions costing £50 per month, £125 every 3 months or £395 per year. Payment is handled directly through the The Angle website which given the lack of mention of a money back guarantee I would take to mean that there isn’t any offering in place.
What is the rate of return?
Neil claims that over the last year, The Angle private members made a profit of £17,400. Unfortunately, a lack of proofing means that it is difficult to gauge how The Angle is performing this year.
Conclusion
Neil makes some pretty big claims about The Angle, both in terms of how it has performed and his method of selection.
At around 12 tips per month I would personally like to see some proofing and there is no reason that this couldn’t have been supplied. Instead we are treated to a list of “results” which are simply bets with no other context. The problem that I have with The Angle is the costs involved. For all the talk, for all intents and purposes The Angle is an unproven tipster.
This combined with a massive lack of evidence just doesn’t demonstrate to me that this is a really worthwhile investment.
