The answer to your first question is NO
The answer to your second question is yes I joined a couple of months ago and have recouped my payment many many times over BUT I use their selections with a few of my own ideas.
Every Sat they have 1or 2 specials if their strike rate continues you will recoup your payment in a reasonable short time(depending on your comfort zone in the size of your bet).This is one selection I dont use my own ideas with. The only thing I do is see what place odds I can get if over 1.7 I back win & place, if the place under that I back win only.
Hope this helps you.
The main thing I like about these guys is that they are contactable by email or PHONE.
It has taken me a while to reply to your post because I thought every one would think I am sucking up to management but ************ it I am my own man and I can only say what I what I have achieved since I joined.
