Around 15% of our Backing Service selections win.

However, if you are more comfortable with a higher rate, then you might like to try our Higher Strike Rate (H.S.R.) service. Around 30% of these are successful.

All H.S.R selections are included in the Backing Service and are clearly identified should you wish to use different stakes for these horses.

The two Lay services both average around 90% success.

Because we are looking solely for VALUE. It’s easy to back favourites but unlikely to be very profitable in the long run. The average price of our Backing Service winners is around 9/1 (on exchanges). Many other services artificially inflate their strike rate by betting each way. Place betting is notoriously difficult to profit from which is why we only advise Win selections.

If you are more comfortable with a higher strike rate, then you might like to try our Higher Strike Rate (H.S.R.) service. Around 30% of these win. They still provide good value but there are fewer of them. Just make sure you bet with a Best Odds Guaranteed bookmaker as most of the winners shorten in price.

All H.S.R selections are included in the Backing Service and are clearly identified should you wish to use different stakes for these horses.

YES! Therefore, it is VITAL that you keep a level head and are "PDQ". Patient, Disciplined and only back Quality (value).

Again,  if you are more comfortable with a better strike rate, then you might like to try our Higher Strike Rate (H.S.R.) service. This has, generally, shorter losing runs, but will produce somewhat lower profits in the long term.

Even our Lay selections can have a bad run and the same approach is required. Be patient and disciplined and you should be rewarded in the long term.

The amount you are able to set aside is of course a matter for you to decide. For the Backing Service the advised stakes are based on a starting bank of £5000, although we sincerely hope you will never need to touch the vast majority of it !! If your initial bank is £5000 then we recommend you follow the advised stakes to begin with.

However, should you choose to start out with a different size bank, our Backing Service selections are also advised in points – ranging from 1 to 10. Simply divide your initial bank by 1,000 and that gives you the value for 1 point. So for example, if you start with a bank of £2,000, a 1 point bet is £2 and the maximum bet of 10 points would equate to £20.

Should you choose to sign up for the Higher Strike Rate service, we recommend you start with 50 times your stake. So if you want to place £20 bets to begin with, then a bank of £1000 is suggested.

For each of our Lay services, we recommend a minimum bank of 250 times the stake you are willing to accept. So, if you start with £2 bets you will need a £500 bank. If you want to take £10 bets you will need £2500 and so on.

These are simply guidelines. The best advice we can give you regardless of your starting bank is “Don’t be too eager to increase your stakes. Wait until you have a bad run, THEN decide when to change them and by how much.”

It is not essential but the stakes are designed to minimise risk. However, a level stake approach may be more profitable in the long term.
