Mathematician Betting – Final Review

Well, we’ve come to the end of the testing period for Mathematician Betting and I have to say that our test was a bit of a non-event, because Guy only sent out six messages with account bets in them all month! At Starting Price we made a small loss of £32 to £20 stakes, but from the two winners he recommended one was backed from 14/1 into 9/1 and the other 5/4 into 8/11, so the actual profit was more like +£80 and I expect that’s more realistic of the profit his members would have achieved to £20 stakes during this period.

Six messages with account bets in the space of a month could hardly be seen as setting the world alight, but I suspect we probably chose one of the worst times of the year to monitor Guy’s bets, because he does tend to wind down a bit when we’re crossing over between racing codes. On top of that, he did send out a very detailed message almost every day and although these weren’t treated as account bets, he highlighted an abundance of winners over the course of the month, including a couple of successful each-way doubles just last week.

With this in mind, I feel that we’ve done Guy something of a disservice during this test. His daily emails really do provide you with a wealth of profitable information and we might have been better to republish these in their entirety to give you with the full picture on the service he provides. Of course, that’s easily said in hindsight, but if we were to go back and do it again (which we might do at some point in future) I think that’s the direction we would go in.

All in all, I wish we’d seen a bit more action this month, but I can’t knock the work Guy puts in. If you’re interested in seeing for yourself how good his analysis really is drop by Mathematician Betting and sign up for his free newsletter. It won’t cost you anything and it will give you a much better idea of how he operates (and the value he provides) than what we’ve published here.
