Suggestion, people can do what I do, I lay all his selections at Betfair SP, makes on average last 11 months 5 pts clear profit. Not much, but better than whingeing how shit he is.

No one is whining here, just reporting that Max Reed does not report his results properly. In fact he manipulates his results and leaves off quite a few losing bets.

Why anyone would help him by subscribing to his service is beyond me

Sarah  on December 14th, 2009

Hey Peter you’re right, why would anyone subscribe to his service to help him? But then if you had a service, people wouldn’t be subscribing to help you, they do it for their own gain. Come on Peter, you’re the one with an MBA, lets not be naive here, people buy products, subscribe to services, pay for anything, when they believe the exchange of value to be in their favour. If I pay you £5 for something I believe to be worth £10 I am going to keep on subscribing to you. Whoever subscribes to Redd’s service, and again lets not be naive here, SOMEONE is subscribing long term for the guy to still be in business (his web site domain is more than 5 years old). I dabble enough in internet marketing myself to know you can’t sustain a business if no-one is subscribing, and then also renewing their subscription. Trust me, blagging one ten/twenty/thirty pound payment off a succession of unwary customers does not a business keep. Sounds like you have some chip on your shoulder, and maybe its justified, I don’t know the full story, but I would venture to suggest there must be a significant number who hold an opposing point of view to you. Which brings me back to your issue about results – bottom line would suggest that the results he publishes are irrelevent – people may join a service based upon published results, but they STAY a member because of their own results. Personally, I don’t think Max Redd is a particularly gifted tipster, and I subscribe to several others with a better ROI. But I wouldn’t give the advice to “avoid at all costs”. That to me, if I’m to be critical, comes across as an emotive comment to make, and leaning towards immature. Its just as credible as someone else saying a tipster is the best they’ve ever found! Both valid opinions of the individual, but nothing more, and neither should be taken seriously.

There is something called “integrity” which I put ahead of ROI.

I am a firm believer in betting multiple systems and tipsters, however if the tipster is crooked I am going to tell people.

Sarah  on December 15th, 2009

That’s more than admirable Peter. But, and let’s take this particular example of Max Redd, you haven’t (produced) any evidence to confirm the man is, as you call him “crooked”. If I understand your review, you’ve followed his service for a period, and arrived at a result – your result. Mr Redd shows different results on his web site. You ask him for an explanation. He gives it. You decide you don’t like the explanation. That doesn’t make him crooked. It just means you cannot accept your own results compared to those on his site. And I think my “chip on the shoulder” theory is gaining momentum. If I went for golf lessons and the professional showed me his card from the weekend where he went around in 72, and I then went out and hit 105, am I justified in labelling him as a scam artist? No, he is a professional, and more talented than me. You need perhaps to take responsibility for your own failings, and not seek to lay blame at someone else’s door. Going back to my last post, evidently many people are achieving better results than you when they follow Max Redd, which is why they continue to subscribe. That is not necessariliy meant to be a reflection on you, but the fact that your reaction is to deflect the blame does say something about you. Obviously this is your blog, and its the one place online you can say what you like. Doesn’t mean what you say holds water. You could do better to convince other people what you say is credible if you substantiated your emotive remarks with some irrefutable facts. Swerving other commenters points, as you did with my last post, doesn’t strengthen your argument either, quite the opposite.

Peter Fuller  on December 15th, 2009

Now you are being an idiot

Your analogy is not even close.

Max reed manipulates his results by leaving off losing races.

I am not the only one who has reported that.

You seem overly passionate about Max Reed

Mark  on June 14th, 2010

What are you doing with this site in the long term guy? No updates or anything for some time!

Richard  on October 16th, 2010

You talk a lot but give no proof. In the last 12 Days my states with Max Reed are:

12 bets, 4 did not place, 1 came third, 7 WON. Nett result is 6 points up in 12 bets. 1 point + $100AU = $600AU profit. Is there a problem with making money, I think not. Talk is cheap, Proof is in my Bank Account.

Peter Fuller  on October 16th, 2010

Hey Richard, my results are my proof, and good for you, I love seeing a fellow punter do well, but I stand by my word, Max Redd does not publish his results properly, he edits them based on whether or not his followers placed a bet,

Personally he never asked me if i was able to place a bet and I placed all of his losing bets he did not report.

If you cannot trust posted results then you cannot trust the person behind them.
