Tim Lowe 'Money Pump'
Tim Lowe claims that the 'Money Pump' is a brilliant scheme to make money from betting on football on betting exchanges like Betfair, with a 91% win rate that will enable you to increase the size of your betting bank by around 50% in six weeks. Well having now tried it for six weeks this seemed like a good time to report on how reality stacks up against the claims.
The system is simple in operation, with a mid-week e-mail giving a list of likely matches with their time and date. Shortly before each match another e-mail is sent out saying whether to actually bet on a match or not, along with details of which betting market and minimum odds to go for. All selections seem to be for home wins, with odds typically at the lower end of the 1.2 to 1.1 range, which means you need around 6 or 7 winners to make up for 1 loser.
So, how well has it worked?
Week one saw 10 bets, with 9 winners and 1 loser. That matches Lowe's 91% claim and produced a profit. So far so good.
Week 2 coincided with a break in European football, on which most of the bets are placed, so there were no selections given.
Week 3 gave 13 bets, with 11 winners and 2 losers, which equates to an 85% win rate and produced a loss that wiped out the profit from week one.
Week 4 gave 15 bets, with 11 winners and 4 losers, which equates to a 73% win rate and produced an overall loss.
Week 5 gave 11 bets, with 8 winners and 3 losers, again equating to a 73% win rate and producing an overall loss.
Week 6 gave 12 bets, with 10 winners and 2 losers, equating to an 85% win rate and producing an overall loss.
So, that's four losing weeks out of five, which if this was the proven 91% win rate system Lowe claims simply wouldn't happen. Realistically you'd have to expect the odd losing week like week 2, but balancing that out should be the odd week with a 100% win rate.
The reality is that after six weeks the betting bank isn't around 50% up but around 30% down. To get back on track to match Lowe's winnings claims from this position would take weeks of 100% winning weeks - and that simply won't happen.
So is 'Money Pump' the brilliant money making system that Tim Lowe claims? No. Well not for his customers anyway.
It's a pity that Trust Pilot doesn't allow you to give negative scores, because frankly that's what this deserves.
I've noticed that there's a 'review' on here claiming that the negative reviews are made up. But the negative reviews are the longest, while the five star reviews are essentially one liners. So ask yourself which is more likely - people taking the time and effort to write long negative reviews just for the hell of it or Tim Lowe getting his cronies to write one line five star reviews to boost his ratings?
Avoid.
