The 9 Minute System Review

The 9 Minute System Review
The 9 Minute System is a combined backing/laying system for UK racing, based on attempting to maximise value from an offer currently available from a particular bookmaker by implementing a particular strategy. You need an account with the bookmaker, obviously, and a Betfair or other exchange account.
The Website claims that the 9 Minute System takes only nine minutes per day and that “You will win with this method, NO DOUBT!”, so we’ll put those claims to the test over the next 45 racing days.
The 9 Minute System comes as a 15-page ebook and nominally costs £87, though there is currently an offer for £67 on the website. Typically, there are one or two selections per day.
The promoters propose three variants of strategy. Two of them involve placing bets before racing starts. The third requires placing bets close to the off and so, unless you’re available at racing time, you’ll need a betting bot to implement the third strategy. I’ll try to paper-trade all three strategies.
Neither the website nor the ebook contains detailed historical results.
Note: the website includes a recommendation to limit stakes to £20 to reduce the likelihood of your account being limited by the bookmaker.
At the end of the review the 9 Minute System has performed as claimed by the owners
All three variants returning the scale of profits predicted in the promotional material. It is that rare thing – a system that is practically guaranteed to return a profit once you achieve anything approaching the statistically normal strike rate to be expected from the odds range at which bets are placed. There are not many systems that can (legitimately) make that claim and so I am very happy to give it a positive recommendation.
You will not achieve life changing riches with The 9 Minute System, because the maximum stake accepted for the bookmaker’s special offer that it exploits is £50. My winnings are quoted to £10 stakes. If I had been staking the maximum £50 per bet, the profit from Variant 3 (which is the one I will go with) would have been £380 in 45 days’ racing. Extended over a year that would amount to an annual profit of over £3,000 virtually risk-free, which is a very satisfactory outcome.
As noted by the owners of the 9 Minute System, there is always a danger (indeed a probability) of having your account closed by the bookmaker for achieving results like this but they recommend a neat way around this – lose it! I’m not joking. When your bank has crept up to a reasonable size and you want to withdraw your winnings, simply bet your bank on a loser, while simultaneously laying the same horse on Betfair, obviously at lay odds a close as possible to the back odds from the bookmaker.
So, for example, let’s say you put your £500 bank on My Loser at 5/1 with the bookie and with luck you’re able to get 5/1 lay odds on My Loser at Betfair and you lay it for £500. When My Loser duly loses, your bank at the bookie’s is gone, your bookie is happy and you don’t lose your account, but you pick up £475 (£500 less 5% commission) from Betfair.
I found that The 9 Minute System took longer than the claimed 9 minutes per day to make selections, but I was testing all three variants. I won’t be doing that live and using Variant 3 by itself takes well under nine minutes.
