As I have mentioned before in the free business opportunities email newsletter, I do not have much experience when it comes to horse racing and racing tipsters.

However, I do know that a lot of people who are interested in biz opps also have an interest in racing tipsters and services.

Some people have contacted me before about their experiences with horse racing betting and I will dig out the comments for next time.

I mention all this simply because, quite out of the blue, I got a letter from Bob Rothman of “Vine House Stables” in Cobham, Surrey.

Bob has apparently won over £3million over the years by betting on horses.

His alleged knack at picking winners even got him banned from City Index – according to the strangely written letter included in the sales pack I recieved.

Personally, I thought City Index were a spread betting firm but I could be wrong.

Bob wants to give me a free tip on Saturday the 27th January 2007 if I ring his freephone number and use a special pin-code.

I wouldn’t bet on this “tip” but it would be interesting to see if different people get different tips.

So, here is the freephone number:

0800 088 7238

and here is the PIN to use:

573228

Let’s see what tip Bob Rothman gives us (and, more importantly, whether it wins!)…

Please note: If you want to try this I would urge you not to bet on the suggestion given over the phone but I would be interested in hearing if you got a different tip to me. Please leave any comments on this post.

ALSO, this number is valid only between 12pm and 1:15pm tomorrow (Saturday 27/01/07)

I managed to pick up a load of Stuart Goldsmith’s direct mail material on eBay recently.

One of the items was an A4 binder containing a load of newsletters which is called the “Financial Freedom Fighter” course.

It was published by Stuart’s “Medina” company.

From the text at the beginning it seems to be a follow-on to his Inner Circle course.

This is probably why I haven’t come across the course before now.

In the past, Stuart has held several “retirement” seminars where he sold of the rights to a lot of his information products.

Material like the Inner Circle course and his books such as “The Seven Secrets of the Millionaires” were included in the resale rights packages but it doesn’t look like he included this Financial Freedom Fighter course.

Over the past week or so I have been reading the modules (or “lessons” as Stuart calls them) on the train home from work.

The first 6 lessons cover the subject of making money in the stock market.

The remaining six, which I haven’t read yet, promise to show how you can make money from property. A very popular subject with the massive rise in property prices over the past few years…

I’ll post more once I have read the remainder of this course but for now, if you are not sure who Stuart Goldsmith is, check out the site:

If you’d like to see what type of products Stuart produced when he was active in the direct mail industry, check out eBay:

Did you subscribe to Stuart Goldsmith’s Inner Circle or Financial Freedom Fighter newsletter?

If so, I’d love to here what you thought of his hard-hitting views and advice.

James Jary’s “DataKing1.com” opportunity was widely advertised throughout 2006 in all the big biz opps newspapers.

An advert also appears in one newspaper today starting – “Copy This Plan £10,000+ Per Month”

It looks like some kind of horse racing betting system or rather a horse racing laying system.

James has blatantly copied the adverts of a very well-known biz opp publisher in order to try and make sales of his CD.

As you know, I’m no expert when it comes to horse racing so I’m not in a position to help here but one keen reviewer sent the following review:

“Ben,

You asked for comments on James Jary’s offering called dataking1. I sent off for the material just prior to Christmas 2006. When the CD arrived it was blank so I sent an email to James and in fairness to him he did call to offer apologies and said he would send another copy.

When the CD arrived I found that there were 3 pdf files on it. I was somewhat surprised to see this as I felt it would have been a lot easier to make them downloadable thereby making them much quicker to get. When I queried James on this he said that if they were available as downloads it would not be easy to honour the money back guarantee, a view I later thought somewhat strange as there are software applications that would lock someone out after a certain period of time if necessary.

Anyway, forgetting that I proceeded to review the CD contents and was immediately disappointed with what I found. Each pdf was badly organised, poorly drafted and frankly difficult to understand. Before I sent the CD back for a refund I emailed James with some comments hoping that he would pick up on my dissatisfaction and take on board some of my suggestions.

His reply was vague and written in a rather ‘take it or leave it’ manner. So, the CD is currently in an envelope waiting to be posted back for a refund. The silly thing of course is that if he’d taken some time to create files that actually showed by way of screen shots and examples just how things work I wouldn’t have an issue. His loss I guess but I wouldn’t recommend anyone forking out for this unless they are very au fait with Betting exchanges and types of wagers that can be placed (if that’s the case they probably wouldn’t gain anything from the info anyway).

John runs a great blog called Online Investing to Earn Money. It’s a great read and updated regularly so it’s highly recommended you take a look!

As you may have guessed, I am a bit of a fan of Sara Brown’s work and products.

Sara’s manuals tend to be very well explained and contain workable instructions on setting up what Sara calls “multiple income streams“.

So it should come as no surprise that I am happy to recommend the latest of Sara’s creations which is called “Sara Brown’s Mini Launches“.

Sara Brown’s New Mini Launches eBook

This downloadable book explains how Sara finds inexpensive products with resale rights and then launches them to draw in loads of sales and a hefty profit.

It goes against everything that the “gurus” usually tell us.

A lot of people think there is a lower price limit that you must not go below and in some cases this is true.

If, for example, you have resale rights to a large DVD set which has previously sold for £2,000+ then it would be ridiculous to go and sell it for just £50.

Unfortunately, some people do tend to do this by selling expensive courses on eBay for a fraction of their normal accepted value.

However, if you can pick up resale rights to a short report or eBook and then turn it round and sell it off for $5 or so, it is possible to make a very good profit.

Sara calls these “Low Cost, High Profit Mini Launches“.

In the eBook Sara goes through 3 case-studies of three successful launches her company, Laycock Publishing, did recently.

None of the products were priced at more than $6 yet each brought in a couple of grand in profits… Low cost, high profit is certainly true in these cases.

So, you can see that Sara Brown’s “Mini Launches” concept demands attention!

Once you’ve read the eBook, please let me know what you think.

I will add a review to the site shortly (it goes in the “to do” list!)

It seems like Matt Shaw’s Fixed Odds Trader service is very popular amongst business opportunity seekers as I’ve just received another review through the support desk.

The comments were:

“Just want to tell you about my experience with Matt Shaw.

Yes, just like your other reviews about fixed odds trading with betonmarkets, All the trades you place are “odds-on” bets, which means your losses are a lot more than your wins.

You need to be winning at a ratio of 4 or 5 to 1 to only break even or achieve small profits.

I have been with Matt Shaw since June 2006 and to date I am into a loss situation with 18 wins and 14 lost in the 32 trades we have placed…Not very good eh?

So, no way can he be making the 3 or 5 thousand pounds per month he boasted about before I signed up.

Not very funny really, it has cost me almost £1000 to date but I am still on his list for e-mail trader alerts. Not got much faith in his so-called expert knowledge though”

Thanks for your comments, I’m sure that visitors to this blog will find them very useful!
