After what might have been the worst marketing in betting system history, I had strangely high hopes for this ‘fun’ system. It basically involves backing horses from various trainers under specific conditions.
Coming as an electronic download and costing £57 (about €63), it looked interesting, though not nearly interesting enough to justify the quite high price tag.
I tracked its performance over the course of four weeks and, as it turned out, the Betting Terminator never allowed my cash to say, “I’ll be back!”.
Rather, it was a case of “Hasta la vista, bankroll”.
OK, lame Arnie gags out of the way, let’s now take a look at the numbers. During those four weeks, I had 49 bets, of which just four won. That’s a strike rate of 8.16%, which is mediocre at best, and would require an average win SP of 12/1 to break even.
Considering the average win SP was a little over 5/1, we were never in danger of making any money here.
In slight mitigation, the Betting Terminator did pick out sixteen runners up from the 49 bets, for a 1-2 strike rate of 41%. Not bad, but there’s no money in this system for silver medallists.
It is perfectly plausible that Betting Terminator had a very unfortunate run during our review period, and it might perform better than that generally.
However, I was left with the overwhelming feeling that this is another badly back-fitted ‘system’, with unquestionably the most appalling (borderline offensive) marketing ever.
My hopes of having some fun with this were misplaced, and I couldn’t possibly recommend it.
