The Strict Rule System is horse racing tipster service which is offered through the Tipstrr stable of tipsters and is operated by a tipster, Edward. It claims to have produced some strong and generally consistent results.
Introduction to The Strict Rule System
If there is one thing which seems to really destroy a good tipster it is a losing run. Not because people leave the service etc. but some simply struggle with the weight of expectation. Losing your own money and having faith in your system is one thing, but with people emailing you about their latest losses, how much they have spent etc. the pressure really can build up.
There is a lot of truth to the claim that being a pro bettor is mostly in your own head. Enter a service currently being operated by Tipstrr in the shape of The Strict Rule System. Now ,I have to be honest and say that there aren’t a lot of details on how things work (although I will cover what there is shortly), but as the name implies, there is a strict service in place.
If this is the case, then there should be no concerns about the long term future of The Strict Rule System, right?
What Does The Strict Rule System Offer?
Whilst there is a lot that is potentially of interest with The Strict Rule System, at its core it is a daily horse racing tipster service. Selections are sent out directly to subscribers via Tipstrr with Edward generally issuing these on the evening before a race, although there can also be bets advised the morning of the race so this is worth checking.
As well as being emailed out, all bets that are advised through The Strict Rule System are uploaded to a member’s area of the Tipstrr website.
In terms of the types of bets, The Strict Rule System is concerned mostly with each way betting although there are the occasional back to win bets as well (for those who are curious, around 65% are each way). There is a focus on longer odds here with around half of all bets being advised at odds of 6.0 and higher which makes sense given the focus on each way bets.
In fact, the average odds for The Strict Rule System stand at 8.56 highlighting this point well. One of the things that does stand out is that these odds seem to be pretty attainable as well.
There is a staking plan in place for The Strict Rule System and it is one that can start to add up. All bets are advised on an “out of ten” basis. When a bet is worth 10, you bet 10 ten points. It is worth keeping in mind that Edward recommends that the most you stake on a given bet is €25 which does mean very small stakes in most cases. None the less, this does mean that you need to have a pretty robust betting bank in place.
Honestly though, for reasons I will get to, you may find that you want to up the ante if you want to make The Strict Rule System really profitable.
All of this brings me to the strike rate for The Strict Rule System. This stands at 32% which doesn’t sound bad on the surface of things. This is however just one element to consider. This strike rate is mostly buoyed by the lower odds with big wins seeming to struggle. For example, using the stats that Tipstrr provide, Edward has a strike rate of just 5% on bets with odds of 12.0 and more. Despite this, they account for almost 20% of bets advised.
How Does The Strict Rule System Work?
Tipstrr say that The Strict Rule System is “the tipsters very own horse racing system that has been trialled and tested”. This doesn’t tell us a lot, clearly. Nor does the section where we are told that Edward is a “rather friendly chap” and a “fantastic bettor” who understands what it takes to be a top tipster. Going off the name however, there is a definite suggestion that there are some clear rules that Edward follows.
Whilst this lack of information is undoubtedly a disappointment (I believe that any consumer should have an idea of what they are getting into), there is some mitigation. The fact of the matter is that Tipstrr have proofed the service for over a year now and this does give us a pretty good idea of what to expect.
What is the Initial Investment?
There are a number of different options if you want to subscribe to The Strict Rule System. The cheapest of these in terms of initial outlay is £20 in order to receive a week of selections. This is only really worthwhile if you are trying to make up your mind about The Strict Rule System. Tipstrr are charging £39 per month for the monthly subscription and £89 per quarter for a quarterly subscription.
These prices put The Strict Rule System around the middle ground in terms of expense. If you are looking to really bring down the costs, there are also a 6 month subscription at £169 or you can sign up for the full year for just £319 (meaning £26.58 per month).
It is important to note that there is no money back guarantee in place, however at the time of writing, you can sign up for an initial trial week of The Strict Rule System for just £1.
What is the Rate of Return?
The profits for The Strict Rule System are rather interesting, and I have to put them into context if I am honest. This is because since launching, Edward has made 1900 points of profit. This sounds incredibly, and honestly, it is. The result is a fantastic one. It is important to keep in mind however that this is based off staking as much as 10 points on a bet.
Here is the website claimed profits:
This means that working off £10 per point (my usual number) would mean £19,000 in profit, however it also means stakes of up to £100 per race which not everybody is comfortable with.
Conclusion on The Strict Rule System
Let’s get down to the important thing here. The results that have been produced by Edward are phenomenal. I can accept that there is something to be said for the staking plan, but 1,900 points of profit in 14 months is the stuff of dreams. The Strict Rule System certainly appears to be the real deal, however I do feel that it is important to keep some context.
The service has had some ups and downs with one downturn effectively losing 160 points in just over a month. That is a betting bank gone through once and a second bank pretty heavily decimated too.
I also think that this is a service where those who are looking for the thrill of a big win will be disappointed. It is clear to me that there is a methodical approach here which has worked, but you will have to accept that the big wins just don’t come often (hence my mentioning it when talking about strike rates).
The overall profit trend for The Strict Rule System is definitely positive however I do think that an ROI of 18.2% provides some better context for this result.
The pricing is fair and I think that there is definitely value for money to be had here. In fact, I cannot recall the last tipster service which I was as impressed with as The Strict Rule System, especially not at the price point. It is very much in line with the competition and that makes it seem like a comparative bargain (although this is far from inexpensive).
With all of this in mind, I am optimistic for The Strict Rule System. I said at the start that taking the human emotion out of betting can go a long way and it seems like this is what Edward is particularly good at. The 160 point loss mentioned was very well managed and turned around and that doesn’t happen when tipsters panic. With this in mind, I am quite happy saying that The Strict Rule System is worth your consideration.
