FormBet – Best Ratings & Bets on the net !

FormBet Profits for advised bets in July were +108pts to advised stakes/prices and +66.23pts to level stakes at BetfairSP. FormBet ranks 1st on both Betadvisor and TippingLeague charts for the last month since I have started proofing selections to both and I am confident profits will continue to soar through August with the York Ebor meeting the highlight of the month. Since May they are +285pts in profit with a 43% strike-rate and a 48% ROI !

There are now a few options for people who want to receive either the FormBet ratings, the best bets or both.

FORMBET PREMIUM SERVICE – RATINGS AND BETS

For those wanting the complete professional service of both ratings, best bets and full analysis then a monthly subscription is the best option. Full signup details are here or via the signup button. It works out at less than £1 a day for the ratings and best bets for a monthly subscription (£30) with discounts for 2-months (£55) and 3-months (£80). You will struggle to get such good value for money and thorough analysis/ratings from any other online service, free or otherwise.

FORMBET BEST BETS AND ANALYSIS  (7-Day Trial)

If you don’t want the ratings and just want the best bets via FREE SMS, email and website then why not try out the 7-day FREE trial via Betadvisor at the following link or by clicking on the image. As you can see I rank 1st on Betadvisor from 50 of the best European Analysts and you can view all my previous tips and analysis, P&L etc on the Betadvisor site. After the 7-day trial you will be billed 29 Euros (£24) for the months which is a saving over the premium service of 20%.

BUY DAILY TIPS

You can also buy all the daily best bets via TippingLeague for just £2. I proof via Tippingleague as well as Betadvisor as a lot of people want to see the results of the bets at SP and BetfairSP and this also gives a cheap option for those who just want to buy the best bets on an ad-hoc basis for the day.

PREMIUM SMS

For those wishing to receive the best bets via a subscription SMS to their mobile phone then all you need to to is Text FBET to 80508 and you will receive all the day’s best bets via sms at a total daily cost of just £1.50. You can stop the messages at any time by texting STOP to 80508.

RATINGS ONLY DOWNLOAD

You can also download the ratings only from the FormBet homepage via the Download Link on the right for just £1.50 per day or £2 on Saturdays/major meetings. This doesn’t contain the best bets but is useful for those who wish to use the ratings on any given day. Backing the top-3 for £2 blind produded a profit of over £1400 in the last 7 months.

Summary

As you can see from the tables below and by clicking through to the respective sites, big profits can be made by signing up to FormBet and you will be receiving the best betting and ratings service available anywhere on the net.

If a ratings provider can’t tell you the success rate of their top-rated or top-3 rated or returns from backing them then chances are they lose money so don’t be fooled by hype, instead believe the facts.

Royal Ascot Review

FormBet had a brilliant Royal Ascot with profits every day. Above you can see how the ratings performed. No fewer than 16 of the 30 winners on the week were top-2 on the formbet ratings which outperformed any other ratings out there on the net. If you had placed a tenner on the top-2 on the ratings in each race you would have shown over £410 profit at BetfairSP on the week and considerably more at early prices.

Of course there were also a few winners picked out by myself that were outside the top-2 of the ratings and given in the LiveBlog, notably APPROVE at 16/1, JUNIOR at 15/2 and the nap of the week LADDIES POKER TWO at 9/1.

Since the start of May backing the advised FormBet selections to 1pt stakes has shown a return of 196pts profit at advised prices. The strike-rate is running at 40% and ROI at 27% during the same time period. If you done £10 a point you would have close to £2000 in a 7 weeks !

Previous subscribers please contact me via the Contact page for a special 1/2 price monthly reduced offer for their first initial month for re-subscribing.

With the Newmarket July meeting, some great weekend racing and the York Ebor meeting coming up, the question is whether you can afford to miss out ?

Here were some of the winners given this week in the evening and morning previews -:

GOLDIKOVA has to buck the stat of fillies/mares not having a great record in this. Darjina came very close a few years ago and she would not be in breathing distance of Goldikova so that stat I tend not to read too much into. She is the outstanding miler of our generation and has not been beaten in over 2 years at this trip. Dual Breeders Cup mile Champion she absolutely oozes class and the fact she can claim weight off the others is like tying a weight to Usain Bolt’s opponents legs I think. I think she should win this in style. 7/4 may appear short considering she is up against some tough opposition but I think it is a decent price and will be going for a straight win.

————————————————

I have to admit to being a bit gutted to see CANFORD CLIFFS both top-rated and top of the trends but generally speaking when that happens it’s a very positive sign, especially in Group 1 races. I have to admit that if I didn’t do trends or ratings my gut and heart would say Makfi would confirm his Guineas form. He won me a fair amount of money in May when scoring at 40/1 and 75′s on Betfair as well as nailing the huge tricast thanks to Canford Cliffs and Dick Turpin placing and I can see a similar top-3 this time round. From a pure value point of view from that race Dick Turpin is the one that is overpriced at 8/1 especially as his 2nd to Lope De Vega has been boosted since but then I actually think Makfi is the overpriced one at 11/4 given that he has defeated a subsequent Irish 2000 Guineas winner and subsequent French Guineas runner-up.

However, it’s easy to let sentiment tie you to a horse so I am going with the trends and ratings today and taking on Makfi. Canford Cliffs pulled way too hard in the English Guineas but settled much better at the Curragh and produced a breathtaking turn of acceleration. If doing so again here he could just have the edge today. For me this will be a race to savour and watch as I see no point getting involved too heavily with any horse. I’ll have that 1pt trends bet on Canford Cliffs and another 1pt win on him for being top of the ratings but pocket-aside I will be hoping Makfi does the business to prove he is a truly great 2000 Guineas winner. The only problem I have with him is that Lemaire is not on board and also it will be the first time he has gone round a turn which is an additional concern.

————————————————-

BYWORD almost mugged Goldikova in the Prix D’Ispahan over 9f running on well to suggest this 10f trip could be ideal. It’s worth pointing out that was Goldikova’s first run of the season though but it was still an excellent effort and after yesterday’s win by Goldi it looks like the strongest, most recent form on offer here and should appreciate being stepped back up in trip. It’s short enough but I’ll have a small win on him.

————————————————–

LOLLY FOR DOLLY has to go in given it’s top-rated, value and is MSR1/FBR1. Blue Maiden is interesting but for a small win bet I’ll take a chance that Cecil knows what he is doing dropping TIMEPIECE markedly in class and take the 9/1. Safina is another live threat for Stoute.

—————————————————-

In maidens I look beyond the ratings sometimes and look at TR and Sire stat and the ones that stands out is the Haggas runner APPROVE who is by Oasis Dream who is easily the no.1 sire. The trainer has a 19.1% strike-rate at the track which makes him almost the best in the race in that respect and he drops back in trip having pulled too hard, meeting trouble in running and possibly not handling the track at Epsom last time. He is worth an e/w at 16/1.

—————————————————-

The ratings have this as near enough a match between Hibaayeb and Principal Role while the trends have it between Fatanah and Principal Role. HIBAAYEB is top-rated for Godolphin who have had a pretty slow Royal Ascot apart from the Hunt Cup winner. Hibaayeb did win the Fillies Mile last year, flopped as if in need of the run in the 1000 Guineas before running a big race in France last time when 3rd, upped to 10f, behind subsequent Prix Diane winner Sarafina. That is solid Group 1 form and she raced there as if this step up to 12f would be ideal. Her sire Singspiel was equally as effective at 12f as he was at 10f so no excuses there.

——————————————————

Saturday is looking to be wide-open again but there are a couple of races I really like the look of. The ‘inside tip’ I got from the London Stripe source is for LADDIES POKER TWO in the Wokingham Stakes who has supposedly been laid out for the race. It’s interesting that she was sold a couple of years ago for 100k to Magnier/Tabor and co. but has not run since, Murtagh is an eye-catching booking. I was actually told about this when it was 16/1 but only had a little bit on as I prefer to see my horse line up on the day. She has only had 4 runs, is the lightest raced runner in the field, stall 2 should be ideal and she remains open to considerable improvement. She holds an entry in the July Cup I notice so a mark of 95 should be a winnable one. She is 6th on my ratings but there are only 10pts separating the 2nd-8th horses. I’ll recommend 2pts win @ 9/1 with Ladbrokes as I think she will be punted into a short-priced favourite on the day.

———————————————————-

A small stakes play in the opening 2yo contest for me. I almost paid the price for missing out a top-rated juvenile when Margot Did ran a head 2nd in the Albany Stakes so I will be including the top-rated Clive Brittain runner ZAIDAN who is MSR1/FBR1 and Sire3. Seb Sanders is riding very well at the moment and this one looks a decent bit of e/w value.

———————————————————–

HARBINGER is top of the trends and ratings and looks to have a massive chance of winning here. It’s tough to oppose such runners but equally for me I don’t much like taking odds-on at any competitive race/meeting like Ascot. I probably made a rick in not picking Rainbow Peak at least as a cover bet on Friday but I will only use him as a small cover bet due to the proximity and odds about CD winner BARSHIBA makes my mind up for me and I will go 1/2pt e/w on her instead and hope for a shock result or at the very least a place. She is a game and gritty mare and can frame at a price at the very least.

————————————————————

There were many others that won and placed at decent prices on a fantastic week for FormBet
