Underground Market System BetfairI must say I on getting my trusty old credit card out I was rather dubious about this one, but thought as my loyal readers (all five of you) might be looking for an Underground Market review, I better do my bit.

The sales letter claims there is a ’secret hidden’ market on Betfair- “The fact that there are very few punters betting in these markets, means that there are plenty of opportunities for us to swoop down and raid the profits without them even knowing about it. There is roughly £5000 matched in each of these markets and you will soon find out how we’re going to be taking a small portion of that each time we bet…”

Well if it is so hidden, how come £5000 is being matched every 10 or 15 minutes, I wondered?

Hmm, But let’s not fault a product on a few small contradictions.

The manual is just 39 pages long ( which I like- I don’t want to trawl through lots of fluff) and the last 15 deal with how to use Betfair as a beginner.

The actual system consists of about 10 pages.

The manual deals with the greyhound racing market, it goes into explaining a bit about greyhound racing, and gives a quite detailed criteria for picking dogs that won’t win- in other words dogs for you to bet against- or lay.

The information given in the Betfair Underground Market is detailed but well explained, and the manual explains which dogs not to lay, ensuring you have a greater chance of winning.

The Underground Market then goes on to give a simple staking plan to back dogs as opposed to laying them, if you prefer to back.

I have not yet tried this greyhound racing system, but once you pick a few selections it is very easy to go through the criteria needed to make your bets, it should take just a minute per race, once you familiarize yourself with the system.

However this is not really a ’set and go’ system as you are advised to place your bets a few minutes before the start of each race. I do believe there are a number of bots on the market that can do this for you though, such as the GreyHorse Bot. (Link will open in a new window).

All in all, I am actually quite happy with the purchase, it is after all covered by Clickbank’s no questions asked moneyback guarantee.I will papertrade the system for a week, before deciding if it is worth implementing real-time with my hard earned cash, but I have a feeling this could show a profit.

The Underground Market System is probably more suitable for the thinking punter who likes to treat his gambling as a business and does not mind spending a bit of time studying form and can be infront of the computer for an hour or two a day.

I have awarded the Underground market one 7-out-of-10 points- it loses because it is expensive, the sales page is designed to induce curiosity, which almost always leads to disappointment and you will still need Lady Luck to be on your side.

However, it is well written, the system in described clearly with diagrams and should be very easy to implement for newcomers and experienced punters alike.

At least with a system such as this one, you do have a bit more input in your outcome at the end of the day rather than just laying or backing wildly on Betfair games.

Update: Day 1 of paper trading at 10€ per bet: 3 selections and 3 wins- 30€ profit. A good start.

Day 2: I decided to jump right in and bet real money- my first selection lost but I was able to crawl back up and ended up with a profit of 14 euros.

It is now taking me just about 1to 2 minutes to make my selection in each race. I am changing my mind about this one- it is a decent system and worth the money. I have upped it to an 8-out-of-10.

Day 3: I started really well and was soon 80€ up- I used a combination of both the backing and laying systems mentioned in the manual. BUT, like all good gamblers, I carried on when it would have been advisable to stop while I was ahead.

I ended the day 32€ up- which is good enough for me.

I will no longer post my results as mine will not be typical to anyone elses, I am certainly not betting on every race, and of course your end results will also depend on what odds you manage to get.

However I think it is fair to say this is a good product which is after all worth the outlay- (I originally thought it was too expensive but within a few days you should make your money back). I do recommend using a combination of both the backing and laying systems described during your session, rather than just laying or backing.

Betalay Review

I tried this system around 3 months ago when I was attempting to find a consistent system to use with Betfair.

As the name implies, Betalay involves laying horses (for those not in the know, when you lay a horse you are betting it won’t win).

When you lay a horse, let’s say for arguments sake the odds are 3.00 and you lay it for 10 pounds – if your horse wins you will lose 20 quid- however if your horse does not win the race (quite likely because if there are 7 horses in the race 6 of them won’t win) you only win the amount you staked- so in our example you will win a tenner. That is fine and dandy, but horses that are expected to lose have a nasty habit of romping home, and if he was a 10 to 1 horse you stand to lose 100 pounds and the only hope you ever had was to win a tenner. For this reason, I am a little wary of laying- at least when backing a selection you can only lose the amount you backed- and not many times your original stake.

The Betalay system involves laying the 3rd favourite in a race- providing the horse meets a certain criteria.

The Betalay people claim you can earn around £2000 per month if use use £25 stakes. They have some very impressive screenshots on their site, showing how the system has made £195,000 profit since July 2000.

I began playing this and had a few days where I was in profit- on day 3, I was slightly down, but by day 4 I got hit big time. Although you see plenty of good reviews of this product, my advice is to tread very carefully- I have also seen many bad reviews- mostly on private forums. I think this is a product you can use for short periods of time and possibly get lucky, after all the third favourite is not the most likely horse to win the race. I would do this a few times, then if you get lucky twice, just get out!

I do not think this system can win consistently over the long term. I am only awarding it 3-out-of-10 points, because it lost me money; the claims on the sales page are very misleading because they are quoting Betfair’s SP odds (When you lay at Betfair you will be paying odds around 20% higher than Betfair’s SP. At these prices you would not be showing the profit that the Betalay people quote) it is very very expensive for 5 pages of poor information- all in all, one to be avoided.

I am not an enormously overweight person, but I do have moments when I go overboard, and before I know it there are 10lbs to 15lbs stubbornly clinging to parts of my body where I would prefer there were not. For this reason, combined with also being a person who is very interested in food and nutrition, I would imagine I have been one of the best customers of diet products on Clickbank over the years.

Now, some of these products are basically ‘not very good’ to put it mildly, they are just a mish mash of free information that can be found anywhere on the net, yet they seem to spend an awful long time in the top ten! Yet others are excellent and don’t make it anywhere near the top ten- this obviously has a lot to do with the sales page- give a load of hype and false promises and you will sell books- tell it straight like it is, no hype, and you probably won’t sell many. It’s a shame.

One such product, which is without a doubt the best diet book (in my humble opinion) selling on Clickbank is ‘Why do You Overeat’ by Zoe Harcombe. Zoe’s book is 300 pages of no-nonsense easy to understand common sense, which also contains a whole bundle of recipes.

The diet is: Not low-carb or low calorie, it is not even low fat! The diet is in 3 phases, the toughest phase is the first but it only lasts 5 days.

As I said, my weight problem is not severe and about 10 days on this diet sorts me out- the first time I tried it I lost 8lbs in the first five days. I have since used the diet on a number of other occasions-It can be used for people like myself who sometimes go overboard, or equally as well by people who have more weight to lose. My sister lost 26lbs with this diet, and has kept it off.

I highly recommend this book, (which incidentally was published as a paperback before the digital version was released). I give it 9-out-of-10, only dropping a point because not every diet will always be perfect for everyone.

I just wish it would have the recognition on Clickbank it deserves, as it can truly help you to lose weight without even feeling you are dieting.
