Just one winner this week with Honeysuckle on target at Firehouse at 7/4. Little disappointing but plenty of time to turn it round with some solid jumps action all throughout the month.
Two winners this week for PPP with Grand Roi a 9/4 winner and Deltas Royalty on target at 5/6. Seems to be stalling having had a good spell and is back at -26.
No bets this week.

So what’s to watch?
Razor Racing- been a whopper fest with 28/1, 12/1 and 11/1 winners banking him some big profits this week. At 125.90 points profit or an ROI of 27.67% the trial looks to be on a good footing. Definitely worth following if you haven’t already.
HRN- another service knocking in the big winners. 25/1 and 14/1 selections in the winners circle the highlight of his week and again like Razor showing a strong overall profit of 18.94% ROI he’s another service looking really strong.

Is it me or is there a race to be the most unhelpful bookmaker around? I have always had some respect for Betfair’s good standard of customer service even after the take over by the Irish jokers but it now seems that the mad rush to steer punters in the direction of games and casino betting has led to a cut back on the support front. Even 3 months ago you could call Betfair and speak to generally helpful and knowledgeable people but now all that is left is the
chat facility when you may or may not be able to explain fully what the problem is. I recently spent half an hour trying to get the problem appreciated when a phone call would have allowed this to be resolved in under 2 minutes.
Even more annoying was the assertion that Betfair could (more likely would) not confirm to me the IP address of the device placing bets on my account. They must have this information in their records and having identified myself as the account holder they should be prepared to give me the information required. If it were an investigation into suspect dealing the information would be readily available but the individual customer clearly doesn’t matter to them.
I do also wonder how some of the claims made by services in their marketing are allowed to go unchallenged. A newcomer recently was a
lay betting service for soccer where the proofing had covered 64 bets and a 4000% bank increase was claimed. When you get the instructions for the service you will find that you stake at 1 point per selection and so will win 0.98 points if successful. So 64 bets would give a profit of 62.72
points if they all were successful (they weren’t) which would be a 105% bank profit. And laughably the results offer a £100 stake option when most of the games are in what can only be classified as minor leagues – a selection yesterday for a game in the Isthmian league had a total of £1299 matched on Betfair so only 12 of the 75 allowed members could have possibly got their bet placed at that level.
The problem here is that the body which is supposed to protect consumers is both slow to act and inept when it does. Usually they will tell a complainant that the perpetrator of the misleading advertising has agreed to withdraw it and so no further action will be taken – and all the service does is re-jig the figures to appear different and continue to mislead the public. I have long argued for a voluntary code of conduct for betting service providers which would allow them to be seen as
offering truthful marketing material. Perhaps its time to try again.
In the meantime if you prefer multiples for your soccer betting then you might want to take a look at Treble Tips where all the selections are for – yes you guessed it – trebles.
Until next time
