The Betting Brothers is a new horse racing tipster service that claims to use a “powerful method” to generate huge profits. It is operated by brothers James, Daniel and Paul Baker.
What does the product offer?
When I look at any new product on the market, at the bottom of my list of priorities is the entertainment value of the marketing material. In spite of this fact, this may well be the best thing about The Betting Brothers. In many respects, this probably isn’t a bad thing as those who are seeking genuine information on the service as a whole are going to be left immensely disappointed for a large number of reasons.
This starts with the headlines for The Betting Brothers which invites you to “Meet The Family Who Have Been Bankrupting The Bookies For Generations!”. This then follows up with a sub heading which quotes “Pro Tipster” (whether this is a website, another service, an actual pro tipster or as I suspect is the case, simply bad marketing remains to be seen) as saying the following:
“There must be something in their genes! The Baker family have been raking it in from racing for more than 50 years.”
Whilst the sales material for The Betting Brothers doesn’t like to tell you anything about the service, I feel that this is still important to try and explore. The operation of The Betting Brothers is very much in line with what you would expect from this kind of service. Selections are sent out to subscribers on a daily basis, directly via email.
Unfortunately, there is very little information provided with these selections outside of which horse to back and advised odds (which can seem somewhat arbitrary sometimes). It appears that all the bets that James, Daniel and Paul Baker issue are straight win bets with a low overall volume. In fact, there are unlikely to be days when you have more than 4 bets to place. These can apparently be placed with whichever bookmaker you choose. There certainly doesn’t seem to be any specification from James, Daniel and Paul Baker which is definitely disappointing.
In keeping with this lack of information and allowing me to move onto some of the relevant numbers stuff, it is very disappointing (and also somehow not surprising) to see that there is no staking plan in place for The Betting Brothers. When you consider that their results are posted in pounds and pence I find this to be particularly frustrating for reasons that I will explore below. Realistically I would be using a simple level staking plan for The Betting Brothers, in no small part to mitigate what I suspect will ultimately be large losses.
This all brings me round to the strike rate. Whilst there is no formal claim made in this regard, a “testimonial” for The Betting Brothers claims to have won 60% of bets. It probably won’t come as a surprise to learn that this number isn’t backed up in any way and there certainly isn’t any proofing for The Betting Brothers. Whilst this could arguably down to the fact that this number isn’t technically a claim by James, Daniel and Paul Baker, this argument also relies on my believing that the testimonials are real.
How does the product work?
I have talked about the narrative that The Betting Brothers presents a few times and the fact that it comes up under the section about how The Betting Brothers works probably tells you a lot about the product as a whole. None the less, given that James, Daniel and Paul Baker says that it is a huge part of their abilities and resultantly, the service, I have to cover it here.
The brothers behind The Betting Brothers claim to be the Grandsons of the “famous” Leonard ‘Lucky Len’ Baker, a supposedly legendary bettor who in the 60’s made an “unreal amount of money from the bookies”. James, Daniel and Paul Baker even says that their Mother made money through betting under Len’s tutelage. The Betting Brothers is seemingly the end result of Lucky Len’s legacy with the service being sold by his Grandsons. These have supposedly learned everything that they know from him.
It is hugely disappointing that this is all that we are told about The Betting Brothers, in no small part because it doesn’t really tell us anything about a selection process. Personally, I believe that this is in no small part down to the fact that if there is in fact a betting system behind The Betting Brothers, it is unlikely to be anything special.
What is the initial investment?
The Betting Brothers is currently being sold for a one time cost of £29.99. This is the only option that is available for the service and will seemingly allow you to receive selections for life. The fact of the matter is that there is very little information available in regards to this which concerns me. I can’t help but feel that the whole thing is priced based on a price that is simply designed to seem attractive rather than reflect anything meaningful.
It is also worth pointing out that there is no mention of any money back guarantee. This means that despite the fact that The Betting Brothers is sold through Clickbank (who used to offer a 60 day money back guarantee on all products on their marketplace), there is nothing on offer in this regard.
What is the rate of return?
The supposed rate of return for The Betting Brothers is frankly, quite incredible. James, Daniel and Paul Baker headline their service with the claim that their “powerful method” generated £105,389.22 last year. This is then oddly backed up by a screenshot of a William Hill account that supposedly has £142,190.91 showing in there. There are other mentions of £2,000 per week which put all the numbers around the same area.
It is difficult to translate these numbers into anything meaningful however due to the lack of a staking plan. For example, using the results published and £1,000 point bets would mean 105 points in the year. The points profit is believable but the stakes most definitely are not.
Conclusion
Where to start with The Betting Brothers? It is a funny kind of product in so much as there is a lot said whilst at the exact same time, it says nothing. Ultimately, your feelings on The Betting Brothers will lie in whether or not you believe the narrative. Personally. I think that it is amongst the biggest loads of crap that I have read for a long time. Don’t get me wrong, and as I said at the start of all this, it was entertaining. The little touch of having a testimonial say that their dad used to mention “Lucky Len” when she was a kid was a nice one.
The problem for me with products which place a focus on the narrative are that they are usually compensating for something. It doesn’t take a genius to look at some of the more reputable tipsters out there to see that they provide plenty of good quality evidence that their service works with the main one being proofing. In the case of The Betting Brothers, there isn’t even basic evidence.
I don’t even see any real value for money in The Betting Brothers. Whilst the service is cheap enough, in order for there to be value for money in a service said service has to be good. As if this isn’t enough, you don’t even get any money back guarantee should you find that The Betting Brothers doesn’t work for you. For my money, this makes any product in the same vein as The Betting Brothers anything more than a particularly investment.
All of this is only one side of the reasons I am not keen on The Betting Brothers. Looking at the back end of things, there are even more concerning problems. If you do some digging into the vendor of The Betting Brothers, it become quite apparent to me that this is ultimately the product of an internet marketer rather than somebody who genuinely offers tips.
The vendor who is selling The Betting Brothers has had 7 different betting services in around two and a half years. They all have different name and very different sites (I can even recall reviewing some of them before now with results that you can probably anticipate). If I were naïve enough to buy into the sales material, this would be more than enough to shut down any interest in The Betting Brothers.
With all of this in mind, there simply isn’t anything that I can recommend here. There is no evidence that you will make any money at all and if you are fortunate enough to make money, it will a long way from the claims made. The Betting Brothers is definitely one that is best avoided.
