Winnie,
Welcome to the forum. Please understand that the management of the forum is running their own commercial operation and provides this forum free of charge for us punters to exchange views and tips and debate various subjects. In order to do this they impose some reasonable conditions of use, one of which is that the forum is not to be used to promote competitors websites (at least not without the approval of the management). In the past some people have placed posts like yours and have later been shown to be the owners of the website they were asking questions about - basically using this forum to get free advertising for their site. You cant blame the management for wanting to stop this practice.
With regards to feedback I think the comments Dr Pangloss and I posted are relevant to your initial question. Some things to be wary of when looking at these types of systems:
1. Beware of buying anything from a website that does not have a contact phone number listed. If they are genuine they should not mind you ringing them up to discuss the system. I couldn't find a phone number anywhere on the site you mentioned.
2. Beware of sites promising huge returns or claiming things like "we have never had a losing week/month" but who want you to make a large payment up front.
3. If they offer guarantees are they worth anything? Will you be able to get your money back if it doesn't work or is the guarantee so vaguely worded that it is useless? The guarantee for the one you mentioned is based on it not making a certain profit using the morning prices as per the radio broadcast - you may never be able to get that price in the betting ring - surely they should use the offical SP or TF price or one of the TAB dividends. Also remember that it can be hard to get your money back if all you have is a PO box number and no phone number (particularly from PO boxes on the Gold Coast if the experiences of other posters on this forum are anything to go by!!).
4. The question to ask yourself before spending any money is "Does it sound too good to be true?" or "If it is that good why are they selling it?". As per my example in the previous post based on their claimed returns they could have already made over $100,000 in profit simply by using the system themselves for the last three months with a starting bank of $10,000. Now if I had a system that did that I certainly wouldn't be selling it for a few hundred dollars.
I suggest you have a look around this site and read the various articles available. Also look through the back issues of the "Punt to Win" newsletter and, of course, the forums here. There is a lot of good information that should help you get started and there are many regular contributors to the forum who wont mind answering any questions you have (just stick within the Terms of Use!)
