Review by Sarah Carter

If you’ve been into sports betting systems for a while, particularly horse racing, then the chances are you’ve heard of the Legacy and Saver Systems before.

It seems to me as though these two systems have been around since time began, but you have to look on that as a very, very good thing indeed.

You see, whilst some new systems have come along onto the market promising the moon on a stick, only to fall away soon afterwards leaving behind a trail of empty wallets, the Legacy and Saver systems have just kept on churning out consistent winners every year since 1993!

“I can’t think of many systems that have stood the test of time as well as the Legacy System”

Personally I’ve been using the Legacy & Saver Systems since 2004, and they’ve made me a profit every single year.

What I like about the systems are their simplicity. The selections are really easy to obtain. The instructions are clear and there is no ambiguity and no personal judgement required – everyone who uses the system will get the same selections.

The selections can be found the night before, which is ideal if you work during the days. You can either place your bets in advance using a bookmaker, or set up a bot such as Bet Bot Pro to do it for you on the exchanges.

The Legacy & Saver System website has all results going back to 2002. Now I’ve not been using the systems that long myself, but I can confirm that results from 2004 onwards are accurate.

The only thing to note is that they give financial returns based on stakes of £200 per point which may be a little too much for some people. What it boils down to though is that the systems yield a profit of between 100 and 150 points per year, every year, which for me makes them a very worthwhile addition to any betting systems portfolio.

“You can probably expect to get even better results than advertised”

The results displayed are using industry SP – which of course means that it may be possible to get even better results than those claimed by using Betfair SP.

You can also build up your bank by reinvesting your profits rather than withdrawing them. Based upon a 100 point betting bank, you should be able to more than double your money every year using the Legacy & Saver Systems.

By doing this, you’ll be in a position to match the advertised stakes of £200 a point before long, and that’s when the really big money starts to roll in.

Like any backing systems, the Legacy & Saver Systems will of course have winning and losing runs throughout the year, but the systems have made a large overall profit each year and you cannot argue with the consistency of the returns.

The systems also come with a money back guarantee so you can give them a try risk-free and return them for a full refund if for any reason they don’t suit your tastes.

For me though, I’ll just keep on using the systems and happily watch them churn out the same profits year after year.

Verdict: Recommended

Easy to use, and consistently profitable every year for over 15 years. A must for any betting system portfolio.

Review by M Davies

The Favourites Phenomenon System (or FP System for short) first came to my attention in July 2008 when a number of people contacted me to say they had heard great things about it, and could I do a review before they decided to buy?

Well with the abundance of crap systems on the market at the time I was delighted to oblige in the hope of finding something decent amongst all the rubbish. I am very happy to say that my time was not spent in vain, this system is the real deal.

The system is sold by a guy called Matt Watson. Matt is a professional gambler and he claims to achieve a 98% strike rate with his system. Now I know what you’re thinking – too good to be true right? Well, no it isn’t. The high strike rate is achieved because this is a “stop at a winner” system – basically you increase your stakes over a series of bets until you hit a target profit for the day.

“Anyone using the Favourites Phenomenon system will make a good long term profit”

Now normally I tend to run a mile from progressive staking systems, but when I first saw this I knew it was something very different to what I had seen before. This is not a case of blindly increasing your stakes and hoping for a winner.

The staking method has been very well thought out and carefully calculated to ensure that your potential liability is kept well under control before you start to bet. It is this care and attention to detail, combined with the very high strike rate, which will ensure that anyone using this system will make a good long term profit.

The FP system is not a downloadable PDF, instead you get access to a password protected members website which contains the entire system instructions. The system itself is very simple to follow and is very well explained, so there is no room for any ambiguity.

You will also get access to a very useful calculator tool which you can use to make sure you are following the staking plan correctly.

There are actually three different possible staking plans to use with the system, depending on your preferred level of risk.

For the purposes of my trial I used the level 3 staking plan. Using this plan gives the highest possible strike rate of 98% but also had the highest maximum potential loss.

Probably the only downside to this system is that if you plan to follow the system manually you will need to be in front of your computer immediately prior to each race. This may only be for a very short time if you hit a winner early, but could take a few hours if you don’t get the winner until later in the day.

Fortunately, even this small downside can be overcome by using the excellent Favourites Phenomenon bot. This tool is available for a small monthly charge and basically runs the entire system on auto-pilot for you. All you need to do is turn it on in the morning, tell it your preferred staking level and press go. You can then go away and do whatever you want for the day and come back later on to find out your daily target has been achieved.

Which brings us to the most important aspect of any test – the results.

I ran the system for 6 weeks. During that time there were 18 days in which I did not bet, either because it was an official “no bet day” according to the system criteria, or because I was away from my desk and had (foolishly) forgotten to switch on the bot. The remaining 24 days produced my target profit on every occasion, and never went anywhere near a potential loss.

I also checked the results on the days when I had forgotten to use the bot and they would all have been winning days as well which would have increased by profit to 28 points, however as I did not place these bets I cannot include them in my results.

Final Result -
Non Betting Days: 18
Betting Days: 24
P/L: £240 Profit

Before I close, I should also point out that the customer service behind this system is superb. This is not one of those systems sellers who just takes your money, sends you a pdf and forgets all about you. Matt Watson comes across to me as a genuine guy who actually wants you to succeed. He sends regular e-mails before each racing day to advise on the betting for that day, plus regular weekly updates as well.

Furthermore, all my e-mails were answered promptly and courteously, and the one small problem I had with the bot (which was down to me, not the software itself) was sorted out in no time at all. I think this level of service really does count for a lot especially when you consider how many dodgy systems sellers are out there who just take your money and don’t want to know.

The system comes with a money back guarantee so there is absolutely no reason not to give it a try, as there will be no problem getting your money back if you decide it’s not for you for any reason.

Verdict: Recommended

Overall, I would highly recommend this system. In my opinion the system will deliver a good long term profit and you could do a lot worse than adding this to your portfolio.

Review by Colin Pendlebury

The Dodgy Favourites system by Paul Fowlie is one of the latest betting systems to be released by Sportsworld Publishing. The aim of the system is to go against the crowd, and identify horses that will be over-bet by the market.

The idea is that these horses should go off at a shorter price than they actually should be, thus allowing us to lay them on the betting exchanges at a superficially short price. This means each bet should be a value lay and ensure a long term profit.

The system is very brief – in fact it comes as a Word document that is only 2 pages long, so none of the usual padding that you get with a lot of systems these days.

When you look at the selection criteria you’ll probably be a bit surprised, especially if you’ve used other horse racing back and lay systems before, because a lot of the criteria would normally be associated with picking horses to back rather than to lay.

“Going AGAINST the crowd is a novel way to make a profit – but it works”

But you have to remember the key theme of the Dodgy Favourites system is to obtain value lays, which is precisely why you need to go against what everyone else will be doing in order to profit. It’s certainly a novel way to go about things, but the most important thing is that it works.

The selections are certainly easy enough to obtain, there should be no ambiguity and everyone should get the same results. I can’t really say that the manual is particularly well written or otherwise, as it’s basically a list of bullet points that define the selection criteria. However I found it perfectly easy to understand and did not need to query anything with the author.

Another potential benefit is that selections can be obtained the night before, and bets placed in advance using Betfair SP, making the system suitable for those at work during the day.

“The results show a consistent profit year on year with 299 Pts Profit since Jan 2003″

I trialled the Dodgy Favourites system for six weeks. During the trial period there were several days when meetings were abandoned due to bad weather. Because of this I got only 11 selections during this time. With 10 of my 11 bets winning, I made a healthy profit of 9.14 Points after standard 5% commission – all prices quoted to Betfair SP.

Although obviously these are impressive results, I do feel that this is too small a sample on which to judge the Dodgy Favourites system. Therefore, I decided to enter the selection criteria into my results database and back test the system on all races run since January 2003.

I’m pleased to say the results I got from the database were no less impressive. An overall strike rate of 79% was achieved, with a profit of just short of 300 points being made to estimated Betfair SP, again after 5% commission.

Final Results:

During Trial Period:
Strike Rate: 91%
P/L: 9.14 Pts Profit (to Betfair SP, net of 5% commission)

(£182.80 to £20 level stakes)

Since 2003:
Strike Rate: 79%
P/L: 299.1 Pts Profit (to Betfair SP, net of 5% commission)

(£5,982 to £20 level stakes)

Verdict: Recommended

Overall I have no hesitation in recommending this system. It’s brief and gets straight to the point, which is either a good or bad thing depending on your point of view. However what cannot be disputed is that the selections are easy to obtain, and can be done in advance the night before. Most importantly of course, the bottom line is that it makes a consistent profit and I can see no reason why it will not continue to do so in the future.
