In all my time testing and reviewing various systems I’ve never come across one with such a rude title. ‘Go forth and multiply’? How very dare you!
All joking aside, the Go Forth and Multiply Your Profits system is another product centred around horse-racing betting from unlikely duo Dennis Coote and Hazel Reed (the mathematician and horse-trainer twosome that brought us The FFF Plan Extra system that I also recently reviewed [amongst others]).
Where the FFF Plan Extra system was based around a backing horses methodology, the Go Forth and Multiply Your Profits system centres on laying horses. This time, instead of devising the system themselves, the words of the sales-page seem to suggest that someone else authors it.
Indeed, there is a sentence that I find very worrying coming from someone I am buying a horse-racing betting system from: ‘We are not gamblers; preferring to invest in a few successful systems and to write ebooks which we promote online’ – not very encouraging, but deliciously honest.
Somebody there must be a gambler, as you get two month’s free subscription to the daily tipster email that complements the workings of the system. Coote and Reed say this of themselves: ‘Basically we love discovering and creating good systems.’ ‘I bet you do’, I can’t help but think: ‘You make all the money from sales’. With these thoughts barely out of my head I look down a few lines and snigger to myself as I read the following words, in bold shouty red capital letters: ‘WE MAKE A PROFIT ON THE SYSTEM – BOTTOM LINE.’ They’re actually referring to the supposition that the system makes a profit – but I’d like to read it as a nice moment of unintended truth on a sales-page for quite an expensive and ordinary system.
The Go Forth and Multiply Your Profits system costs a whopping £97, which is expensive no matter how many times they try and play the cost down in the sales copy: ‘This price is phenomenally cheap for the results and profits available!’ It was recently available for £39.97, so there’s been a recent £60 addition there. It’s bought through Clickbank so you have the associated money-back guarantee.
You get access to a 46-page over-written ebook (fluffed out with anecdotes about parading horses in front of the Queen) in which the UK-horse-racing system is outlined. It’s long, but well written and the system is explained succinctly. Since using the system for the past two years or so, they claim that it rakes in on average a monthly profit of over ten points. As a bonus, you get two month’s free subscription to a daily email containing selections for the day’s races (normal cost around £30 a month [too expensive]).
Go Forth and Multiply Your Profits is a self-selection system for use in UK races, one horse to lay each day, with a maximum lay odds of 3.7.
It’s a very simple system, which I felt slightly cheated in paying £97 for, also wondering why so many pages were needed in the PDF manual. Additionally redundant is the daily email, which is not needed for two reasons: the first is that the selections process is so simple that you shouldn’t need any help; and the second is that the email contains one tip and arrives much earlier than the 10 o’clock in the morning time that you’re encouraged to make your selection (in order to see the odds when the markets have settled), therefore the odds stated in the email have often changed. Why anyone would pay £30 a month for such a service is beyond me.
The system is based on numbers more than anything else – no obvious account or emphasis has been made of form or other factors. You’re encouraged to make selections solely based on the horse being available between lay odds of 1.7 and 3.7. The trouble with placing lay bets is that when you lose, you’re liable for much more than your initial stake – and so you lose big. A loss-limiting recovery plan is encouraged, but such plans are time-consuming and flawed, as we saw with the FFF Plan Extra review.
Ultimately out of 50 races, there were 29 winning bets, giving a strike-rate of 58%, which for a lay-betting system is not good enough: final points showed a loss of 14. Though the vendors of the system are honest and customer-orientated folk, their system just does not seem to work, and when they place such an emphasis on obsessively chasing your losses, it further adds to the disappointment. In short, this system can ‘go forth and multiply’ (sorry – couldn’t resist).
