Become a Betfair Affiliate

One way to make certain you profit from Betfair is to become a Betfair affiliate.

Promoting Betfair is like promoting any other affiliate programme, and the rewards can be just as good when you promote properly.

Affiliates of Betfair can earn 25% or more of revenue (and Betfair handles a lot of revenue!), so it's worth putting in a bit of effort. People are increasingly aware of the Betfair brand, and the company now operates in a wide range of markets, so 'selling' Betfair to the thousands searching online and off for betting opportunities is just a matter of giving them access to the Betfair website.

And it's just as easy to sign up for the Betfair affiliate programme by clicking here.

Review - Golden Star Horse Racing System

Golden Star aims to use 'inside knowledge' (that magical term) to predict likely winners.

The inventer of the system has developed a statistical method of analysing betting trends to pick likely winners. Claiming to bypass the tipsters and their fees, the system aims to produce profits at level stakes to achieve better results than the '98% of horse racing enthusiasts who lose time and time again'.

Backed up with impressive-looking graphs and statistics, this is a system rather than a tipping service. For a one-off payment of £69.97, you get the system explained in detail (in a PDF document) and it comes with a 45-day guarantee.

There are also four bonuses: a trading system claiming 85% success; a greyhound system claiming the same; a football handicapping system that claims a 90% strike rate; and membership of a free horse racing tipping service.

The owner claims that at least 5 profitable tipping services use this system and suggests you save your money and use the sytem for yourself.

Without being sniffy about the use of English, there were a few occasions when I have to say the writing on the site was ungrammatical and ambiguous. It's to be hoped the PDF explaining the system is easier to understand than some of the sales copy.

So the website is not a thing of beauty but if the system actually works, who cares?

About Betfair Review

Betfair is said to be the world's largest Internet betting exchange.

Since the company was launched in June 2000, Betfair has become the largest online betting company in the UK, with over 2,000,000 clients at the last count, and claims a turnover in excess of fifty million pounds per week.

A betting exchange allows gamblers to bet at odds set and requested by other punters rather than by a bookmaker. Members can make both 'Back' bets (normal bets on a selection to win) and 'Lay' bets (bets against the selection), thereby eliminating the traditional bookmaker.

Inevitably, other companies have sprung up online as a result of Betfair's success, mostly offering tipping advice by text or email. These companies aim (or claim) to maximise their members' results. I'll be reviewing them here.

Here's a Simple System - and it's Free

A warm welcome from me to Betfair Review.

I'm going to start with some free advice for you by outlining a very good way to spot potential winners - one that's hardly new but is still not widely used. It goes like this:

Imagine you're the person best placed to know a particular horse's current form. Who would you be? Answer; that horse's trainer.

Now imagine you know your horse is in great shape and you want to run it. There are no big prize races open to you, so the only way your horse can make you decent money is if you bet money on it.

If your race is local, the decision is easy. You run your horse and stick some money on it. You win a small prize but, more importantly, you win your bet. Nice.

But imagine that race is further away. How much more confident of your horse's chances would you need to be to travel all that distance (at some expense) to race it? Quite a lot!

So, to spot a horse whose trainer really fancies its chances you could do worse than to look for a runner that:

1. Has travelled a long way to race
2. Is entered into a race with quite low prize money
3. Is the only runner from that trainer at that meeting (or it might have travelled with another horse entered into a bigger race)
4. Shows signs of significant betting on the morning of the race. ie, its odds have shortened.

Thankfully, the Racing Post will answer the first three questions and their website will tell you those, plus the crucial fourth.

Obviously, there can be no guarantees in this life, least of all in horse racing, but you can usually find ways to improve your chances.

Good luck!

PS. The standard advice holds true: however much you think you've improved your chances of winning, never bet more than you can afford to flush down the toilet!
