TrainerTrackStats 2014/15 Review

TrainerTrackStats 2014/15 Review

It’s my fault. I started TrainerTrackStats (TTS) way back in 2006. In fact, it was the first thing I ever did online. A modest collection of data snippets, modestly collated, with modest production skills. In fact, here’s a link to that very first TTS manual (it’s a bit out of date now, but it holds a very special – in fact, life-changing – place in my heart):

The very first TTS manual

That unassuming little pdf managed to find 220 winners from 969 runners that season. It found no less than 497 1-2-3 finishers, and made a profit of £1,207 to £20 level stakes at Betfair SP by season end. A 22.7% win rate and 51.29% top three rate was surely unsustainable, no?

Well, in fact, TTS continued to perform to that high level year after year. Indeed, the following season, it surpassed that first year, recording a profit of £1,936, again to £20 level stakes.

2008/9 was to be my last year with the product, and that jumps season notched profits of £1,141 to the same level stakes. Three years of TTS had yielded a collective profit of £4,284 to just £20 stakes. And this wasn’t fantasy back-fitted numbers. No, these were real subscribers making genuine year-after-year profits.

Due to a change in my own circumstance, I handed over the reins to TrainerTrackStats in 2009 (seems such a long time ago now!) to Gavin Priestley, who also took over my old blog at Nag-Nag-Nag. He’s done a sterling job of maintaining both sites in the original style, but also has extended them with his own ideas and knowledge.

So would a change of stewardship mean a change of fortunes for TTS followers? Of course not! After a slow first year, though still profitable, TTS kicked back into overdrive recording its best ever season in 2011/12. That year, backing selections for £20 at Betfair SP was worth a tasty £2,174. And the two years since then, bringing us to now, saw profits of £681 and £1,281 respectively.

That’s eight years of TTS – in itself some sort of achievement in a market place awash with fly-by-nights and Johnny Come Lately’s – and eight years of profit.

There have been some great stories down the years, best of which has to be a guy called Chris who won fifty grand for a twenty-two quid bet by doing a £2 yankee on four TTS selections.

But the main story has always been the year-on-year profit-pulling performance of TTS.

So what is TTS?

TrainerTrackStats is, as the name suggests, a list of the trainers who have been the most profitable to follow at each National Hunt track in the UK in the previous seasons.

For each track, there is a selection of trainers, and the specific rules under which they are a bet. It’s easy enough to find selections using any daily newspaper or, of course, geegeez racecards online!

Or, if you’re time pushed, you can get the picks each day from a password-protected members’ area. Log in, get picks, place bets, job done.

Why does TTS work?

TTS works because it taps into the tried and trusted habits of race horse trainers, some of which are probably buried deep in their subconscious! Like all humans, trainers are creatures of habit. If something has worked for them in the past, they will persist with it in the future. TTS sniffs out those patterns and habits, and puts a profitable wrapper around them.

How profitable is TTS?

TTS has made a profit every year since its inception in 2006. That in itself sets it apart from almost any tipping service, including revered so-called ‘guru’ services like Racing Post’s Pricewise column (that doesn’t even publish its profit and loss… for a reason!

Not only that, but TTS results are quoted at Betfair SP, which means those betting early prices Best Odds Guaranteed can often do a good bit better than the quoted results. And it also means that the odds were available to EVERYONE who wanted them, again unlike certain ‘Pricewise’ type services.

Here’s a chart that shows the cumulative profitability to £20 and £50 stakes.

TTS: Almost £10,000 at just £20 stakes since inception

If you bet in fifty’s, great, that’s almost £25,000 over the last few years. But, for those of us who tend to bet in shorter stacks, TTS has still recorded profit of over £9,400 since inception and is on course to smash through the £10k barrier this season. That’s a spectacularly consistent level of performance.

What do I get with TTS, and how much is it?

Gavin has maintained his (and my) core belief that good information should not have to cost an arm and a leg, or only be available to those with the biggest bankrolls. TTS runs from now (there are no qualifiers today, Monday 6th October) until the end of April 2015, and you’ll have access to the following:

– TTS 2014/15 main manual

– Bonus #1: TTS 2014/15 Irish tracks manual

– Bonus #2: ‘Failed To Complete’ Bonus System

There is also a comprehensive ‘how to’ manual and, as mentioned, a members’ area from where you can pick up the day’s selections each day (or the night before).

The historical profit average, over eight years, is 58.8 points per season. At £20 stakes, that’s £1,176.25. Remember, these aren’t back-fitted profit figures. These are the actual profit levels achieved by TTS subscribers over the past eight seasons.

So, given that your season ticket for TTS 2014/15 is just £79 – nothing else to pay – that represents an average annual profit after TTS investment of as close to £1,100 as doesn’t matter… betting at £20 stakes.

Can you guarantee I’ll make a profit with TTS?

Can anybody guarantee a profit in future? Of course not. But TTS subscribers have two rock solid back stops in their corner:

1. An unrivalled eight year unbroken track record of success. It’s possible that this year will be the first time when a profit is not returned, but why should it be? After all, the same painstaking attention to detail has gone into producing this year’s report as has been poured into every other year. And the figures actually look more promising than ever.

2. An unconditional 30 day money back guarantee. If TTS doesn’t work for you, or you simply don’t like the font it’s been printed in, Gavin will refund every penny of your investment.

Now, please, we’ve built a solid and honest community here at Geegeez, and I’m delighted at how respectful readers are to each other in the comments and emails I receive.

So I would make one personal plea: if you’re not the type to give something a proper go, perhaps paper trading in the refund window, then please don’t sign up for this. If you can’t cope with three days without a winner, then please don’t sign up for this. It probably won’t suit your style, and you’ll be wasting both your own, and Gavin’s, time.

But if you get that TTS is a season-long project; and you know that it will have downswings as well as upswings along the way; then you’re a really good fit for TTS, and TTS is a really good fit for you.

It’s a great, great product and service. Having originally devised it way back in 2006, I’m bound to say that of course. But its track record speaks for itself: eight years in print, eight years in profit.
