These guys can't still be in business?  A while ago these 2 were running Betfair endorsed seminars and flogging off all their little subscription services.  Well it seems they are still at it, and a new seminar they just hosted with self proclaimed "Best Betfair trader in Australia", the badger, and woody woodpecker.

Anyway, if anybody is struggling with making a profit on BF, check them out.  For just 97 dollars a month, +77 dollars if you want the badgers ebook, you can have these "professionals" guiding your trades.  They have actually pretty good results.  They are doing a hell of a lot better than I thought they would be doing.
Nearly 7 months into the year and they are only showing a loss of 31 units, betting around 1-2 units per market.

Surely the only people subscribing to this crap are only doing so to oppose them in the market?

But there you go STS, they concentrate on many different sports and they are the most profitable and skilled punters/traders on Betfair.  See, it can be done.  Just ask them........ Confused

Check them out here. http://www.championprofits.com/results/2012-results/  But make sure you look beyond the ridiculous hand picked graphs, and remember, you can scroll across to see the hidden loss balance, and watch out for the tricky all green P/L column to hide all the losses....
Seriously, they would have been better off keeping their p/l statement hidden, like they used to....

Feel free to enter your bad dealings with these 2 here.....  At the very least, after BF pulled the threads, at least they stopped doing business with them?

I noticed their losses are down to 10 units...not really a happy 2012 for them. It sounds like Woody would be better off on his own.

The Badger is a unique beast. He is tormented by the guys at Geeks Toy (for reasons I'm none too sure about but something to do with not revealing his true P&L?).  As you say was once hired by Betfair - and now he publicly blasts them on twitter (& punters show) as well as opening flaunting trades on NSW racing (which he said he wouldn't do...)

That's the first clue he can't be going that well, or is using a myriad of accounts. The top traders are banned aren't they?

As some of you will know he was the key trader at Centaur in the UK...and left before they went bust.

What did they say in the X-Files?

The issue with Geeks Toy goes a bit further than not revealing his P/L.  It is more about how he advertises himself as the best trader on BF, states that he makes 400 dollars an hour trading sports, but has never backed it up.  He spams ebooks, has at least 5 different websites trying to sell subscription services, and really is dishonest in every sense of the word.  He is a typical show recordings of his winning trades, keep all the losing ones from public viewing sort of marketer.  He was challenged for a predetermined set of races, to prove his worth as a trader, to which he accepted then chose to apparantly take the day off after the fact because he obviously didn't have a good day.  He was then challenged to show his P/L to prove he makes what he says, to which he was offered thousands of dollars in donations to charity, plus free advertising space on Geeks Toy forums for his product.  He also turned that down.

Whilst working for BF (or being subcontracted or whatever) doing their advanced trading seminars, he was asked why use Betfair Evolution (Racing Traders newest product), to which he replied "I have no financial interest in this product, I have spoken to the owners and they allow me free use of the product throughout the year and customers of mine a discount on the product".  Of course the reality is Adam Todd sold the rights to the program to a lady with the peculiar surname "Hargraves" who just so happened to have the same first name as his wife.  Hmmmm.
Not to mention Centaur trading or whatever they were that he was one of the main traders for, went bust, and by all reports took off with all their customers money.

As for Woody Woodpecker, I really haven't had many dealings with him apart from spotting him in disguise talking about how good these seminars were that those 2 blokes were running.  Think he went by the name "Swallow", except the keen eye of the Geek himself managed to compare the woody woodpecker avatar he used, and the woody woodpecker picture on the mans own website advertising his direct involvement and partnership with badger.

They were even advertising on these seminars that by going would turn you profitable.  Using BF to guarantee becoming a successful punter/trader by going on their courses as they are the best going around.  400 an hour he claims he makes, yet the proof is in the pudding.  7 months in, and a combined 31 units down, betting 1-2 units per stake.

Ridiculous marketers such as these 2 need to be stopped.  Charging 100 a month for a losing system.  And obviously people are getting sucked into it, BF themselves were sucked in at one point, on the back of the Centaur collapse ffs.

Filthy I didn't accept the offer from BF for a free seminar with them.  Would have been a cracker of a day.

How these people are allowed to operate is beyond me.

Well as I said, I haven't had many dealings with him.  But as the saying goes, you sleep with dogs, you get fleas.  And regardless of who he was previously, he is now a partnership, and until they come up with a stronger flea removal product, those fleas aren't going anywhere.
The question needs to be asked why somebody showing a 10 unit profit on NRL would team up with somebody costing him 40 units in that same period, what his goals are, and his decision making processes.


Do you actually have anything to back that up Craig, or is he another that believes you show enough aftertiming, and profit only statements and people won't realise the losses you make? 
Real question there, not at all leading.

Thanks for all the info BJT! I knew a little, but you have all the info.

I sat as a spectator at one of the seminars, and can confirm that piece about not having a relationship with Evo.

Look I've got nothing personal against the guy, but I am surprised Betfair and now the Punters Show have a relationship with him.

Do you know much about the Priomha Group? I had heard good things about them, but when I read one of their traders has an e-book I thought no...surely not?!

From all reports his wife left him and kept RT, so technically it could be perceived as not 100% false, but very deceiving all the same.

Nothing to say about Priomha Group, I don't have an opinion based on anything apart from a negative opinion of people trading sports with your money.

I notice he stopped updating his results on his thesportstrader website in May.  Making an assumption that his unit size is 20 dollars since he changed from units up/down to a monetary term, and comparison stakes suggest about 20 dollars per unit.

January +42 dollars
February -220.8 dollars
March -151.39 dollars
April 167.66 dollars
May -371.99 dollars, and then for some reason he stopped updating..  Hmmm..  But there is hope for all concerned, he does include this warning "When on Betfair, or any exchange, only use money you are prepared to lose. As with any form of gambling Trading has its risks.
Past performance is not an indication of future performance. If you think you have a problem with Gambling visit: Gamble Aware.


So there is hope that future performances won't be anything like past ones...  Wink

Joined:Anyone that is selling tips is not a winning punter end of story.


i agree!

i have been to one seminar at paddington rsl about a year ago.
i dont have an issue with them both. the badger definately has a presence about him. if he scammed money off others, well thats obviously different, but putting on seminars/webinars/appearing on the punters show etc.... i welcome it.

ive been trading for a few years now and its hard work.
if it was easy he would of made heaps out of other peoples money let alone his own.
if he keeps away from the dark side & makes his business transparent.... well, goog luck to him.Tongue Out

suggestion:  check out punters choice and you will find subscription services from "winning punters" that are fully subscribed and have been for decades.
Winning punters don't sell tips ????   NOT true.

BJT - mainly from watching his you tube previews - he doesn't do many anymore but his knowledge and opinion of the players even the ones starting out is usually spot on

Steve Kearney could have done with listening to him as he has never been a fan of Chris Sandow or Ben Roberts - guys that Kearney based his year around this year

just my view

Noted.  And to be honest, and in all fairness, have heard a few times that he is a very knowledgeable NRL guy.
Marketing of that however, and a few things have left a very bad taste in my mouth.

I will leave my opinion at that for now.  For him.

I can possibly shed some light on Badger...suspect he is struggling because he bought the Racing trading software and the turnover tax put the kibosh on local trading. Means his only market is to sell to the Poms.
Plus, the introduction of the extra PC charge got him as well. That only affected hedgers, not punters.

Oh, and another thing, Champion profits will always do well on NRL. Scott is a gun at that and has tons of inside info. Not sure about anything else though.

You can certainly tell he bought it - there hasn't been one software update or change to its functionality in 2 years or so. I'm not saying it isn't a good product - but it's lost its progressive position in the market.

I think the Badger must be a good trader, i saw this on Youtube and it looked pretty impressive to me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr4vaNnQG4k

I agree with other posts, Scott apparently has an intimate knowledge of rugby league and is considered one of the best judges on Rugby league, although i personally do not bet on rugby league.

As for the other issues mentioned on this thread i have no knowledge about them.

I don't fall into these youtube vids where posters brag about how much they won in an in-play scenario.. why? well it's real simple, a genuine person would post up their losing trades as well, all his are all about the perfect trade where he won a big pile of cash

I use to think he was the real deal until he felt the necessity to sell off an e-book labelled "Easy Trader Pro 2", basically it just has well known trading strategies that will result in a profitable situation more times then not, not worth the cash to be honest. Any joe could figure out these strategies for themself.

I actually think highly of ChampionPicks their form analysis on horse racing is generally very good, I don't pay the fee however as it is an outrageous amount of money and quite a big risk but I do get emails from them every now and then and I certainly do read what is written

thanks log glad you agree


uhhh - whilst there is no substitute for backing your own judgement (if its good) if you aren't winning you could do worse than follow someone you find to be successful - with punting often its not enough to win money but punters want to be seen to be smart too imo so therefore will give away their good tips

Stars,

Here's a take for you...I buy an NFL service in the off season. It has won every year I have used it bar one, and handsomely across 9 years now.
I asked him why he sells his tips when he could just as easily bet them and clean up. He said, and I quote:

"I make pretty decent money from selling the tips and when you make a living from punting as I do it sure does take the pressure off knowing you have a steady stream coming in no matter what."

I paraphrased. I can't remember the exact words, but that was the gist.
