Tipster Proofing Timeframe Poll

i think 3 to 6 months gives you a idea how good they are i have tried a lot over the years too many i think have to many selections it costs you too much money to follow i know everybody is different i like at most 1 bet a day or roughly 7/9 at most a week stick with £5 a point etc puta month is not nearly long enough have to wait at least 3 month give tham a chance

Hi Michael, personally i think at least 3 to 6 months, the longer the better to get an overall picture of how the selections/system(s) are doing which covers the losing and winning periods on a better time frame

Hi, I think you need a running total displayed from the start of service and a separate column for the current month, why only have one when one without the other not enough.

This is an ineresting question. However, in my opinion, it is the wrong one. I believe the question should be “How many total selections would you like our weekly tipster updates to be based on”. It is the long term Strike Rate that is important and this is best described in terms of the total number of selections .The variance between the long term Strike Rate and the quoted Strike Rate for say Evening Vaue Service on the one hand (381 selections) and say Value Backing on the other (13 selections) could be huge.
My answer to my revised question would be 100 times the reciprocal of the per unit Strike Rate. Based on currently quoted Strike Rates this would give, for the top five tipsters quoted, 586 selections, 480, 221, 301 and 392 selections respectively. Clearly, for some tipsters, a lot more data needs to be gathered before the quoted Strike Rates could be regarded as “statistically sound”!
If I had to answer the currently asked question I would have to say “Every selection we have ever proofed” in order to obtain the most statistically sound data possible.

sorry didnt realise that was for public posting please do not quote my numbers as may well be wrong and it would be unfair

Three or 6 months to overcome freak good/bad results. The results over a short period can be heavily influenced according to when you start recording bets in relation to the tipsters betting cycle. e.g. if you start recording after a good run then the tipsters results probably won’t look so good over a short cycle.

personally i would love to see 3 – 6 12 and all time if possible

id be really interested in knowing longer term numbers for evening value service as i am really surprised it made money at bfsp **removed as requested**

Hi Michael
I note that your stats for TTS show only 4 bets, tis site has been running since October with many selections and is definately losing. Am I looking at the correct TTS or is there another one. I have tried many times to get into the members website and failed,
