Introduction
Ed Culham is a professional horse racing tipster who has over a 30% strike rate (to date of this review). He takes a careful approach to his selections by offering a limited number of bets. He likes to stake each-way at odds of 10/1 or greater.
He advises a 150 point bank, so £1500 to £10 stakes and sends emails out Friday evenings ready for the weekends racing.
I will be following this service for 12 weeks at the recommended staking plan to see if I can bank some consistent profits.
Results
A small profit during my first week with 2 losers and 1 winner meant I banked 2.63 points.
