Has anyone heard of Alan Carfax and Martin Wells?

Alan Carfax has been running a tipping service for years. I subscribed during the 80s to his Saturday service which tipped 2 horses per Saturday if I remember correctly and had varying degrees of success but nothing I couldn't manage on my own. I think he was the tipster who used to sign his letters "Yours in sport". I've seen the Matin Wells service advertised but don't believe I've ever tried it.

All you're really buying is their opinion and chances are your own opinion is no worse.

100% correct booster at the end of the day all your paying for is there opinion on whats in the form book i2am pretty sure if you asked 10 of these tipsters there opinion on a certain race you would get at least 3-4 diff selections do your homework and and back your own judgement- goodluck

I'd put all tipster on hold for around 6 months to a year till we see what the lie of the land is ...No point in them tipping a horse that 'responds well to the whip'

Got an old copy of the Sporting Chronicle Handicap Book, July 1983,
(this was the last copy under the Sporting Chronicle banner before Raceform Ltd took it over).

Anyway, Martin Wells of Newmarket has got a large advert in here *Two Horse Saturday Letter *
"Two expected winners next Saturday"  Terms: £5 for 3 Saturdays or £10 for 8.
Address was a P.O. Box No. in Old Station Rd Newmarket.

I am pretty certain that Alan Carfax was also advertising back then as well.
Other tipsters and system sellers at the time, Bob Dawson, Fineform (Clive Holt),
R.J.Francis, The Cream, there was also an ex-jockey, think it was Sammy Millbanks (?)

Why not just shove your money down the drain ....and cut out the middleman.

Worth aread.

if i remember corectly another tipster who advertised at the same time was Gerald Swaine.They would give you a tip for saturdays racing and also a tip for the big race on saturday.if only one tip won they would claim success.

the old adage is all you need to remember . If you had a system by which you knew for sure you would win , why would you want to share it with total strangers ?  its likely that these people arent following the teachings and practice of Jesus Christ so they wont have a foolproof system that they want everyone to benefit from . The Christ analogy is refering to sharing with strangers all the good fortune you have.

Alan Carfax.......................how old is he ?
