Colin Davey's Private Racing Syndicate
Sovereign Group

You probably know my feelings about racing tipsters by now. Great if you love a flutter anyway and don’t mind a gamble. Bad if you want a consistent extra income.

And very dangerous to get into if you can’t afford to lose money. VERY.

But here’s another one anyway.

Colin will send you his” Simple Guide to Horseracing”, and a list of bookmakers’ telephone numbers when you join. You also get access to his the betting information at midday every day.

All this for £24 per week and then 2.5% of your winnings after you make your first £10,000.

But be warned. A Biz Opp Jungler emailed me to say:

“I would though like to warn your readers about a tipster called Colin Davey, if I remember correctly he is based at Newmarket.

“I joined his tipping service last year for a couple of months, it cost me £25 a week for the two months, plus the money I lost backing his tips. Some week, it would be up to 5or 6 days without a tip, and the ones he did give were donkeys.”

After researching other people’s opinions of this service online, my reader is no exception. There are some very negative opinions on this guy’s service… not that it surprises me.

If there’s someone who’s made regular profits over a year from following a horse racing tipster, please PROVE ME WRONG and let us all know. But I won’t hold my breath.

£100 per month, too much for my pocket I am afraid.

Sovereign Investments (Guardian 25th July, 2001)

False starts

"This," blasts the flyer, "is how YOU can make money in 2001." Alongside is a photograph of a man in a baseball cap and flippers grinning into his mobile beside a turquoise sea. Beneath is an application form, which begins beguilingly: "Yes, I want to start making money - real money - the easy way, without hard work." The leaflet and accompanying five-page letter which arrived on Richard Benjamin's London doormat was from professional gambler Colin Davey, who claims to have found a miraculous formula for spotting winning racehorses. A "pattern in horses' form", he says, enables him to bet up to four times a week with an 80% success rate. "As you can imagine, it wasn't long before I was driving my first Rolls-Royce." Following this happy discovery, Davey set up Sovereign Investments, a private betting syndicate based in Bury St Edmunds. Clients agree to pay £96 a month for use of a daily tipping line and must hand over £997 if and when they make their first £10,000. If they hold out for a year they get to attend one of Davey's seminars for free, while, he claims, ordinary punters pay £3,500 for the privilege. Benjamin was sceptical and sent the bumf straight to Consumer for an opinion.

Davey evidently expects to be doubted and includes numerous "proofs" of his successes in the mailshot. "The best thing since sliced bread," swoons MJ of Essex; "I'm sure you are genuine as a person and a genius," writes AO, Kent. Also enclosed is a letter from bookies William Hill terminating his account - evidence, according to Davey, that even the biggest betting shops run scared of his prowess. His trump card is an article from Scotland on Sunday, published last year, which concluded that he was "plausible" and his business "kosher".

Delve a little deeper, though, and matters begin to look different. Davey neglects to mention that the same Scotland on Sunday journalist wrote a second article five months later, following calls from dissatisfied clients. He called the tipping line every day for a fortnight and found the results "disappointing". He also declared that Davey's ownership of his own bookmaking firm, Sovereign Bookmakers, "sticks in the craw" because his tips can affect the odds and benefit bookies.

Then there's William Hill, which Davey claims cancelled his account because he was a drain on its resources. "We don't want to divulge the exact reasons for terminating the account, but we can confirm that it was not because of his betting record," says a spokesman. "We don't advocate anyone who runs a tipping service and warn punters not to take their claims too seriously."

Over to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) which last September upheld a complaint against Sovereign Investments because it supplied no evidence to back up its boasts. The company was ordered to withdraw the mailing, but carried on regardless. ASA, that toothless tiger, is now investigating another complaint and says it may work with the Royal Mail to prevent further mailings if its adjudication is ignored. Meanwhile Suffolk Trading Standards says that it is aware of the company and has received calls from the public.

Time to tackle Davey himself and I too find him curiously reluctant to provide evidence of his claims. "We've had quite a few wins over £10,000," he assures me. How many? "I can't tell you." How many clients do you have? "I don't like to say." As for his failure to prove himself to ASA, he claims that his clients' details are confidential. "They (ASA) shouldn't discuss me like that," he complains.

The second Scotland on Sunday article, he says, was "misleading" and the disappointing run of bets highlighted in it just one of those things - "you can't keep everyone happy all the time". William Hill, he insists, did get rid of him because of his costly successes and he'll send me his betting dockets and testimonials to prove it. Alas, nothing is forthcoming and later an "intermediary" calls to say that the paperwork is with a man who's on holiday for the summer. "You'd better not be slanderous about me, else I'll sue," Davey says in conclusion. "This is a genuine product. I don't hold a gun to people's heads and if they don't like it they can leave."

Whether or not his betting formula is the triumph that he claims, his expensive marketing system will certainly assure him a fortune. The British Betting Office Association has a word of caution for those still wavering: "Ever since time began, people have been looking for a winning formula for horses, but none is successful because bookies adjust the odds," says a spokesman.
