So, it’s the Grand National in a couple of hours’ time – all the bookmakers will be grinning from ear-to-ear as the overround on this event is absolutely ridiculous.
Still, I’m a mug punter so I have bet on Hedgehunter, Idle Talk and Slim Pickings.
This certainly isn’t a tip, I’m just saying. I wouldn’t copy me if I were you 🙂
Best of luck – hope you can pick a winner, or maybe even clear up by using a sophisticated laying system to take advantage of all the one-day-a-year punters?
Subscribe to a newsletter from Streetwise Publications and you will always receive a couple of sales letters thrown in the envelope.
Usually these are business opportunity related offers but there can be the occasional strange offer for a weight-loss course or a speed camera detector.
I’m not surprised that Streetwise do this, it’s good marketing. If you are receiving a newsletter from them then you are already a customer and so related offers for other products are likely to be well received.
So, in with this month’s issue of Passive Income Newsletter (PIN for short) I got a sales letter for a new product which is described as a “back to basics betting method”.
If there’s one thing that sells well in the biz opp world then it is a system involving horse racing.
This one is called the “Lazy Lay Quick Cash System” and has been written by someone called Bill Stratford.
Bill claims that, starting with a £200 bank, he made a tax-free profit of over £47,000 in 2006 by turning the tables and becoming a bookie.
He even provides a run-down of his results he got from laying horses to lose in 2006 and during this time he only had one losing month when he lost £685.60 in October.
His best month was December where he made a massive £21,853.20 in profits spread over 24 bets. Pretty impressive figures…
This system isn’t cheap at £197 but it does come with a guarantee: If Bill’s system has a losing month in the first 3 months after you purchase, you can get a full refund provided that you have followed the system correctly and you send in your betting records to Streetwise.
I’ve purchased a similar laying system in the past but was unable to make it work correctly simply because I had to be glued to the PC in order to trade during a horse race. This was so that I could minimise losses by betting in play.
Not sure if you need to be available during races with the Lazy Lay Quick Cash System. It doesn’t seem that way because Bill says in the sales letter that:
“…you only need to invest a few minutes each day to make this system work for you, scan your morning paper, and place your bets…”
Sounds great but I’m not sure if I’m going to buy this one – not yet anyway!
Bill Stratford is correct in one respect:
“…You know it’s hard to pick winners, so it’s not surprising you never see a poor bookmaker. After all, picking losers (which is what most punters do every day at the bookies’) should be easier…”
Fancy being able to trade the Gold market with 71% or 100% accuracy?
A great deal of MarketClub members have been asking to have the Gold market analysed.
Even though you may not be a current member of MarketClub, I have been allowed to share these insights into the Gold market with you.
In this new 10 minute online video, two trading programs are shared that use a “Giant FootPrint” approach that have done rather well in the first quarter of this year.
In this brand new video, you’ll graphically see the step-by step buy and sell signals which have been shown in the Gold market since the beginning of 2007.
I reckon that even the most professional of commodity traders will be impressed with this approach and these results.
In this video two approaches to trading the Gold June contract are shared and you will see a clear demonstration of what works:
(1) The first approach details the short term commodity traders. This conservative approach was correct 71.4% of the time.
Not bad.
(2) Approach number two is for longer-term commodity traders and was correct 100% of the time. That’s right! No losers in over three months.
Can it get any better?
Oh yes, it certainly can!
First off, guess which approach made the most money, then watch the video and see if you are right:
Recently in the free Business Opportunity Email Newsletter I mentioned that I don’t tend to type when it is not necessary. Instead I use speak recognition software, specifically Dragon Naturally Speaking.
It’s a great piece of software which allows you to speak whilst it dictates the words into loads of different applications including Word and Notepad. All you have to do is “train” the software to recognise your voice and then it will learn your particular accent.
Any mistakes can be corrected easily and the software will attempt to learn from its errors.
I wrote:
“I tend to use Dragon Naturally Speaking to dictate articles on my PC. It takes a few hours to “train” the software to recognise your voice but it can really help you if you want to write a lot of text.
You can usually find the software on eBay for £20 or so – all you will need on top of the program is a microphone to connect to your PC.
It’s well worth the investment!”
Shortly afterwards I was asked the following question by a subscriber:
“Hi Ben,
Could you tell me which version of Dragon Naturally Speaking you use.
I have looked on ebay and the latest version 9 seems to command quite high prices. I am not bothered about having the latest version if I know which one of the earlier versions you find satisfactory
Thanks much
Steve”
Well, I had to go and check but the version I use is Dragon Naturally Speaking version 8.
If memory serves me correctly, I bought the software about 1 year ago for £20 or so.
It’s very good although not completely perfect, you do have to go through it afterwards and correct a few mistakes. Beats typing though!
You can usually find it on eBay:

Well, I’ve just unsubscribed from 5 internet marketing related email newsletters for one reason – they all sent me emails about Michael Cheney’s new traffic related course – and all 5 emails came within about 30 minutes this afternoon.
I was under the impression that John Reese was the undisputed king of website traffic generation but I guess that Cheney is now “the man”. And all this time I thought Michael Cheney was the AdSense king… or was that the list-building king?
OK, OK, so I’m being pedantic but it gets a little annoying when everyone with an email list that is even remotely related to internet marketing starts sending out bulk emails to promote the latest Clickbank product.
So, bye-bye to several of you but thanks for the content (if there ever was any!)
One newsletter that I haven’t unsubscribed from is Danny’s Scam Review by Mark Warren, or as he prefers to be known, “Danny”.
Mark jumps on this kind of stuff immediately, he’s like an announcement service for new over-hyped Clickbank products 🙂
It’s always interesting to see what kind of made-up BS he can think to put in his email pitches, how can one person dream up such shameless lies? He must have a team…
