Tipping Program. Does it work?

[2minutes]

Has anyone out there been approached by a Brisbane based company called EDITED. They offer a win and place tipping program, which involves selecting four "sure things" each Saturday. They suggest staking 5% of your cuurent TAB account on each event. I would like to know if anyone has had any experience with this mob? If so, what are their results, in reality.

What are they offering and for what price...5% is a bit high try 2%

They offer to provide 4 tips each Saturday, selected from any of BR, MR and SR meetings. They want you to pay a membership fee of $8,000 plus $800 GST, but they to offer all sorts of discounts to get you to join. I joined for $2300 plus $230 GST and have had 6 weeks membership so far. Most of their tips have been obvious favourites, eg. Elvstroem in the Cox Plate, etc. Their win strike rate is 25%. My account has gone backwards on these tips.

I know nothing about them, but I'm afraid that you've almost certainly wasted $2530.

Glad you didn't take the 8k one....the people that run this site offer a similar thing...but at a much lower cost.... http://www.propun.com.au/racing_services.html
there strike rate is higher than 25% have a look...no i don't work for them but when i see people advertising these other slection services or selections systems or anything that costs more than 1k i will post this because it is much better and a lot cheaper

Shaun.Do you know whether that tipping service is showing a profit?

[Shaun]

Sorry can't tell you that..have not really looked in to it just things i have heared on here....but from what i have heared yes they are....i am sure if you contacted them they would have some sort of data on what they have been doing

I've also purchased two of these selection services (edited) and both are going backwards as well. I would agree with Shaun that the Pro Pun one looks pretty good and is a lot cheaper. Also get ready to be bombarded with other companies offering the same thing, as since I purchased the first one, I've received the same type of offers from another five different companies. When I tell them I'm definitely not purchasing before they pass on selections free of charge before the race, funnily enough I never hear from them again !!

I want to add a message to my last post re these tipping services. In all fairness you have to give the service a certain amount of time as even some of the best tipping services have quite a run of losing bets. Just bet 2% and stick with it a bit longer. Good luck.

Well my advice to anyone considering purchasing systems.
IT'S YOUR MONEY RALPH.
