I can only bet on the exchanges and in a few shops – is it worth me joining the service ?
The act of placing a bet, is becoming an issue for more and more successful bettors...
With bookmakers operating with very tight margins - and providing numerous concessions - it's little wonder that they don't want to do business with individuals who show any level of competence.
The Minimum Bet rule, introduce by a number of bookmakers (VC, Sky & WH) should help - provided bets are struck after 10:00 in the morning and are in the better class races (generally class 2 and above). Other than that, it's a question of using the exchanges (assuming there is any liquidity) and high street shops.
For many tipping services, this is a big issue - but that's not the case with TheValueBettor.
Firstly, the tipping service has shown a profit, after commission, at BSP, over the past 6 years.
Obviously, it is impossible to be adamant about profitability at BSP, as prices are unknown when horses are selected. All the same, there is a strong suggestion, that if BSP can be consistently beaten (either by using shops or by betting before the off on BF), then following the tips should produce a profit.
Secondly, the focus on ‘big races’ means that not only can the horses be backed with bookmakers who support the Minimum Bet rules, the prices of tips are also far more likely to hold up.
The competitive nature of such races, means that there are often many different opinions on the outcome – and consequently, stronger markets.
The final reason for joining TVB is that it's far more than a prescriptive tipping service...
The advice and guidance given on a daily basis (either via the write-ups – or the ‘mid-week blog’), provides individuals with the ammunition required to find their own betting opportunities, as and when they present themselves (which is far preferable to betting en-masse)
Whilst I do enjoy the racing, time limitations mean that I really just want to follow the tips - is it worth me joining the service ?
The profits shown by tips over the past 6 seasons, clearly demonstrate that it is worth individuals joining the service and simply following the tips.
That said, joining TVB and only following tips, isn't the best way to maximise the service.
Subscribers who work with the write-ups consistently achieve better profit figures than those who just follow the tips: and subscribers who do both, produce the best profits of all.
Certainly, it is my intention to only let onto the service, individuals who have an interest in NH racing - and who would ultimately like to identify their own bets.
How far each subscriber makes it down the path to complete independence, is up to them - but the service will provide all the support and guidance required, to reach that end point.
Why do you only run a service for 6 months of the year ?
I completely absorb myself in the racing for 6 months, in order to give it the best possible chance of success.
It’s all very intense – but I think it’s necessary to achieve that level of intensity, if you are going to be successful.
That said, I don’t honestly think it would be possible to maintain the same level of intensity for much longer.
Additionally, I have other commitments during the summer months, which would make it far more difficult for me to run a service.
Also, I really do love NH racing – and can think of no better way to fill the winter days !
