You Probably Will Lose…
December 30, 2008 · Print This Article
The sales page for You-Wont-Lose.com claims that the author is Lydia Hislop. This is presumably a different Lydia Hislop from the one that has made a name as a respected horse racing journalist. I simply cannot see any respected professional giving her name to anything as blatantly false as the title suggests. In fact the title has to be the most ironic of any betting system I have had the misfortune to spend money on, simply because the fact is that you-cant-win.
The thing is, while the theory behind the system is solid, in practise it is just not feasible. The idea is that you take advantage of the free bet offered by one bookmaker, then place an equivalent bet with a market trading site. The two cancel each other out, but the edge is that even if you lose you get a free bet. Eventually, the theory goes, you’ll get some money one way or the other.
Of course it simply isn’t as easy as that, if only because the trading sites rarely give as good odds for laying a bet as the betting sites do in backing it. If you manage to get better odds on a trading site than on a betting site then it’s all down to the timing and you have a classic arbitrage situation. You don’t need a system to help you with that, you need a lot of knowledge or a lot of luck!
I hate to be the latest person to bash a betting system on this site, but it’s just the case that this one offers promises that turn out to be false. It’s one of the biggest selling systems on clickbank at the moment and that is just down to what borders on false advertising, in my eyes. Steer well clear!
My name is Lydia Hislop, the racing journalist. I thought it might be useful to stress that I have absolutely nothing to do with this execrable You Won’t Lose system, either the book or the website. My name has been appropriated by whoever is behind this dubious venture and, despite a long-running battle to get them to remove my name, I have only had limited success. There is no way that I would ever create, endorse or have anything but entirely negative things to say about such ventures. I regard all such things as a con.
