Backing Star System Review

Backing Star - Is this a shooting star

Today we begin a review of  The Backing Star System, which is a tipping service that delivers selections to bet in the UK racing market. The selections are generally available by 10am in the morning and delivered in two ways: either through the members’ area of the main site by use of a password available to subscribers, and, straight to the inbox of your email address.

Backing Star backs horses in the win and place markets on the Exchanges and recommends 5 different staking plans. You can choose to one or all of the staking places, which use a combination of win bets, place bets, level stakes, percentage stakes and progressive staking strategies.  So there should be something for everyone with backing Star.

All information required to place the Backing Star selections is available from the members’ website, so if you forget the rules for applying the tips then they are available at the click of a button. Once you have received the Backing Star selections for the day then the advice is to only make the bet on races of nine runners or less, within one minute of the official race start and where the odds are 4.0 or less.   After this it is up to you to select which staking plan you wish to follow.  In summary, the staking plans recommended for Backing Star are:

All Weather Backing System Review

You may have seen a few emails hit your box this week regarding a new betting system, and tipping service, called All Weather Backing System.

This is clearly one of the ‘does what it says on the tin’ type products, which is great inasmuch as you know what it’s supposed to be… an All-Weather… Backing… System… but you still don’t know whether it’s any good.

Here’s where I come in. I’ve had a copy for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve run the rules through various horse racing databases to get a feel for a) how accurate the results are, and b) how likely the system is to continue to generate profits to the claimed levels.

So let me tell you a bit more about All Weather Backing System.

The system manual is completely and utterly fluff-free, meaning it weighs in at a featherweight four pages only. But don’t be fooled by that. After all, most business gurus I listen to reckon you should be able to write an entire business strategy on the back of a napkin!

What this does mean however is that there are no detailed walk-through’s of how to identify a qualifying horse, or anything like that.

In fact, the manual consists of an explanation of the ten simple rules; a commentary on WHY the rules have been added; and, a line or two on staking, which runs as far as to suggest a 30 point bank and level stakes. Personally, I’d probably use a 50 point bank, and I might be tempted to use a very light incremental approach, but using the author’s suggestions would have served you well historically.

But, as we all know, history belongs in history books. So what of the future, and who the hell is the author anyway?

Well, I’ve looked at the rules, and I’m happy that they’re all predicated on sound logic, which is a pleasant change in itself. The strike rate is somewhere between 22 and 25%, which means you can expect some losing runs. The counter-argument is that winners come in packages up to 10/1 and, of course, if you’re using the ol’ Betfair machine, you’ll get more than the bookies’ price for your investments.

The system is authored by a chap called Sam McCallon. You may or may not know Sam through his systems review website, onlineracingreview.com. He’s been going for about two and a half years now, and in that time I’ve spoken with him regularly on email. In short, he’s a guy I know and trust as honest and up to his word.

His All Weather Backing System reckons to have around 125 bets a year, and most of these are struck – unsurprisingly – between Deecember and March, the ‘real’ all weather flat racing season. In that regard, All Weather Backing System makes for an excellent portfolio addition.

The number of qualifiers should ramp up a fair bit in the next few weeks, which means now is the best time to take advantage of Sam’s 30 day no quibble refund policy. To quote the young man himself, “If however within the first 30 days of using this system you don’t for whatever reason feel that it represents value for money then I will offer you a prompt no hassle refund.”

Can’t say fairer than that?

Bookies Already Backing X-Factor Winner

It may have only started back last Saturday but already the bookies are having a field day with some of the few contestants that we’ve seen being hotly tipped to win the show outright. I think it’s a bit premature given that there are weeks to go and often those that perform well in auditions tend to flounder as the programme goes on…anyone remember Daniel from last year????

That said, one or two really did stand out but that could also have been because the ‘talent’ they were up against was so horrific that my ears are still bleeding which of course makes them look like the next Whitney or Celine when in fact they could be just quite good – it’s all relative people!

So who are the bookies, specifically Paddy Power, favouring at this very early stage….

Gamu Nhengu (sang her own version of Walking on Sunshine) is tipping the polls at 9/1
Katie Waissel (thinks she’s Madonna and wants to be love child of Etta James and Freddie Mercury!!!) is in second place at 16/1
Lynn Frances O’Neil (Scottish girl with fabulous voice) is in third on 25/1

Of course these odds will change and more will get added as each show progresses but they’re not bad odds is you really fancy one of them win!
