I followed this service(Platinum Punter Lay Selections) briefly in the past and they seem genuine and record results as they were. With roughly a 50% strike rate would they help keep me from paying the premium charge if their selections were to be followed to worthwhile stakes?

Why give yourself a forum name like "speakthetruth" if you expect people not to think you're talking sh!t?
fyi, if you were to follow most tipsters, you'd never pay pc, because you'd lose. Hope this helps. |

Firstly Speakthetruth is the name of a horse.Secondly,
most doesn't equate to all.Their p/l figures at BSP are there for all to see.They are down on this year but see no reason why they can't change that as they have made a profit for the last two years.I already pay pc because of my own selection process but am looking for ways to increase turnover with a lower strike rate to decrease or get rid of pc.My hope with posting this was that somebody could see their average amount of selections x by their strike rate and give me some idea would increasing turnover based on those figures be of any benefit as I have little understanding of the PC. |

On your first point, fair enough but it only makes your moniker only marginally more credible.
On your second point, agreed most is not all. But if your strike rate is enough to pay pc, why follow someone else's tips at all? Couldn't you loosen your criteria to reduce it. Or even better, develop a new strategy with a higher risk reward ratio. I'm a pc payer too and my understanding is that you basically need to reduce your strike rate, as you rightly say. i.e. win 1k and you pay more pc than if you win 2 and lose 1 (still winning 1k, obviously). fwiw, bf seem to have very little understanding of the pc too. |

The point in following them is to get to turnover,hopefully a significant amount of money whilst breaking even or hopefully winning.
I can't change my own approach and have read it said on here that its easier to devise a new winning strategy rather than a strategy that avoids or limits pc.I don't understand enough about the pc but the figures on this services p/l seem like they could bring and keep a marginal p/c account out of pc territory if followed to the correct stakes. |

Is it worth it? Surely you're better of trying to make more money. Even if you pay more pc as a consequence you are still better off overall which is what counts.

I would be extremely surprised if any PC payer would view this as a legitimate PC avoidance strategy.
For the avoidance of doubt, I do believe it would work very well in helping someone avoid PC [;)] |
