Beat the Competition Review James Croft

Created by James Croft, Beat the Competition is an email based horse racing tipster service that the creator says will generate consistent profits for its subscribers.

What is the product?

Beat the Competition is a rather typical example most tipster services available these days. Selections are sent out daily to subscribers with James Croft saying that these will usually be issued before 9.30am. All staking for Beat the Competition seems to be on a level staking basis. Selections come from analysis carried out by James Croft which is claimed to be in depth and covering the whole field “one by one, horse by horse”. Quite how this translates isn’t really looked at and I find this rather disappointing as much of the sales material for Beat the Competition  is dedicated to a somewhat questionable claim by James Croft that he has been banned from Betfred for being too successful. Whilst I accept that a tipster idn’t ever going to divulge their full system I have seen plenty that give you an idea of what you are paying for without giving away the details. What James Croft does claim is that Beat the Competition will beat the competition 46% of the time. What this competition is isn’t something that is looked at but my best guess is that this is the claimed strike rate (although as there is no proofing there is no real way of verifying any of this) however this is rather speculative. The fact is that as with most of the sales material for Beat the Competition, there is very little in the way of any clear information.

What is the investment vs. the rate of return?

James Croft sells Beat the Competition for a monthly subscription fee of £19.95. At the time of writing however you do get your first month at a reduced rate of just £9.95. Allegedly numbers are restricted to 50 places however there is nothing to really back this up. As a nice bonus, Beat the Competition comes with a full 60 day money back guarantee courtesy of Clickbank. In terms of profit potential this has been around the high 200 mark for the last two years with Beat the Competition allegedly making 271.79 points profit in 2013 and 288.23 for 2014. So far for this year it has made 13.03 points of profit which is slightly less than appears to be typical.

Does the product provide value for money?

I don’t believe that Beat the Competition does represent value for money for reasons I shall explore below.

Conclusion

The big problem that I have with Beat the Competition lies in the fact that the service is sold on the back of unsubstantiated claims. The fact is that for all his fancy marketing about how he has beat the bookies, basic things like proofing are not provided and I find this to be a cause for concern. The fact is that any tipster service that sells itself on a story rather than substantiated results always calls up a red flag for me. With that in mind, I would personally leave Beat the Competition well alone however I can see how some people may be tempted to try this on paper due to the 60 day money back guarantee.
