SPORTS POWER TIPS – FINAL REVIEW
Hi Bloggers
Here is my final review of Sports Power Tips which I took over from The Commissioner on Day 18. After much consideration and looking at the overall ROI for the review period, I decided to award it 3 stars and a neutral recommendation.
It is a good sports service but did not quite deliver “in my opinion” to its true potential during the review. You get e-mail everyday and if by chance this does not come through, you have a membership webpage where you can get the selections from.
My e-mails to Shaun and Steve were answered fairly quickly and politely so no problems there.
If I take the results of the 84 days in the first 4 weeks it lost a total of 32.13 points. During this time we had our longest losing run which was 6 and to which you would have lost 41.82 points, in this period we also had our longest winning run which was also 6 and produced 28.25 points profit. This kind of illustrates the problem, SPT will make money, but you will have to suffer a roller coaster ride with some good highs and bad lows.
On to weeks 5 to 8 the service made a profit of 23.54 points but in the running total you still would have been at minus 8.59 points.
Eventually in weeks 9 to 12 we hit the jackpot making 69.91 points in that period and our cumulative total for the review ended at 61.32 points. It should be noted that we made 30.50 points profit in the last 3 days of the review.
Here is the breakdown of the review period. Note that Number of Winners includes selections that were each way and were placed as well as just straight out winners.

Now a 6.36% return on investment is still a profit but not that great really and the monthly subscription is a penny short of 50 pounds so for our review you would have spent 149.97 pounds on the Membership Fee so if using 5 pound per point you would have cleared 156.63 and you would have staked 4821.25 pounds to get it which
is only around 3.25% ROI. So to be safe here I would suggest that a 100 point bank be in order, so order to get anything out of this you would need to start off with at least a minimum of 1000 pounds betting bank with 10 pounds per point. The most points lost in a day was 14.44 and the most won was 26.22 so once again the high and lows are quite high.
Two other concerns are that at times it was difficult to get some of the prices that Shaun was getting especially on back bets and the second the Lay Bets on the results page do not have any Betfair commission deducted from them.
To be fair to the service it did actually under perform during the trial, now I am not comparing it with August and September 2009 they were really exceptional months profit wise, but with October, November and December 2009, let’s have a look:

Now it must be noted that there was no commission taken off the lay bets for these 3 months unlike during my review so there was a further 1.75 pts to be deducted for the winning lay bets so our total profit is 127.06 points giving you an actual ROI of 14.8% which is a lot better than the 6.36% on our review and without the whopping ROI’S and profits of August and September being added. So as we can see SPT does have a lot potential, of course with the summer months approaching there will be bets on different sports.
In conclusion if you have a reasonable betting bank behind you, can handle the occasional heavy losses to gain some good wins, like to bet on a variety of sports then SPT could be for you.
