Timeform placepot tips

[pandamancan]

Has anyone been using/following the daily placepot tips that the tipsters from Timeform (Betfair) post every morning? Just wondered if they had any kind of reasonable strike rate or not? I've done a few of them with no success :(. Also, following them exactly is probably gonna produce a crappy dividend if every other Betfair punter is having a go!

They occasionally hit well- I look every day (betting.betfair.com is very mobile friendly) but the proportion of favs in the mix is about 50% meaning they're bound to go down. However, I've not done the maths but in the period I've been looking a fairly high percentage of the picks do place and what lets the thing down is a fav going out in the fourth leg or something. The dividends when they do win are alright but because they have up to 32 lines (and 64 in one case I remember!) you may only just get your pennies back.
