Andrew Brownshill

Andrew Brownshill. Sort your head out instead of kissing (I)

The big acca he landed was the same tips TRAINERS QUOTES posted. They have an article on the website with screenshots of how he was a member under his own name as well and he was stealing the tips from them.

Bert is that good of a con man he was done for the following.

26/5/03. MAKING OFF WITHOUT PAYMENT.
THEFT ACT 1978

6/4/04 he attended Dudley juvenile court and the following.
6 month referral order.
Compensation £60
Costs £200.

That’s how much of good samaritan he was for robbing an old person.

As for him he’s liquidated the company but he’s running under a different name which we already know.

Berty ballbag

John, Bert, Harry, Steve whatever name you go by has been going for too long and finally the penny has dropped for a lot of his "loyal" members. A very clever man with reeling in punters like myself and feeding mis information. Doesnt work on a point system for fear of being sussed out years ago.
Sprouts the same old nonsense about 72k acca, 40 and 50/1 winners when its really his members info that carries the sinking ship along. Makes out he's the victim of internet trolls and abuse. Theres no smoke without fire John. You will be booted for "negativity"
Gone from 3k members to i guess about 600 now? In the space of 2 years. And why? Mainly because of how you dealt with the dog incident 2 years ago. A real bawl bag of a bloke.
Got lots of screenshots and messages over the years of his BS but he probably doesnt care as too busy counting the dosh in his off shore account.
PLEASE DONT BE FOOLED BY HIM.
P. S. He's also got a really small cock and loves WWF wrestling!

He does provide winners.

He does provide winners and I won't have it said he doesn't. Pretty sure, without having kept records, that he is winning if betting in singles. And as of late, probably in system bets as well, after a 73,000/1 4-fold (from 4 selections, not loads. Yes, you are reading it right, there was a 50/1 and a 40/1). However, this is what winds people up... he goes on and and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about only ever place betting and doing things in singles, or doubles at a maximum, but anytime something wins he's taking credit for accumulators and SP's and talking about changing lives (Not really, John, not if they listened to your advice and only did place betting. Probably you talked some people out of a life-changing moment, if anything, sadly). If a 7/1 shot comes third, he WILL say "I've told you all how to bet smart, so don't blame me if you bet the win!" and if it wins, he WILL say "I hope you enjoyed the 7/1 winner!". You all know the type. Propagandists, or cherry-pickers, that give an inaccurate view of the whole situation and know they're doing it. Further to that, place betting is a real load of old rubbish anyway, as he knows when he opened his dedicated 'Place Betting To Profit' thread and shut it down within two days when he saw getting more booms doesn't translate as winning in real terms. Bookies aren't ignorant of place betting and so give odds so high that it overcomes the losing of BOG by just betting for the win and the attached each-way, but he knows this and just likes a headline boom (which is ridiculous in itself that a 2/1 payout is a boom). He's a propaganda artist and controls what news you see or don't see like a dictator. THAT's what winds people up. Not everyone is stupid. Also, why does he keep saying things like Jagerbomb Friday every week for a year, when most people think it tastes like crap? Or "Let's pay for your carvery" on a sunday, like everyone does that? Very few do that, John, as a ratio of the whole. I suppose you do know and understand numbers in the field you're in? He does, but he likes to rub people up with silly ways. Not that mature really, which is a thing he keeps on about as a virtue missing among grown men nowadays, ironically.

Tips: Excellent, and maybe that is all that matters.

Terrible con man

Terrible con man. His info is fake. He kicks you out the facebook group if you share actual pro gamblers winning tips.

The only person claiming to win big had faked photoshopped slips. IF he was in a real coup he would be betting himself on the "info" and would have retired like the real deal barney curley aka Yellow Sam.

Stay clear don't line his pockets.

Completely agree with the other review on here by Paul atkinson. If I could give minus stars on here I would!!!

SHAKATHEOOKIESMACKER HONEST REVIEW

Claims to have info from trainers but sends you horses with the same old comments "Should be challenging for a place", "Expected to be bang there". Guy simply had a couple pictures taking with top trainers and jockeys and used it to lure people in with false information which has been proved.

According to his website you get football, racing and boxing tips but that's only if you're in his Facebook group. A group filled with people who wouldn't dream of saying word out of tone in fear of being kicked out the group. Himself along with his mate set up a syndicate for a greyhound and the money was stolen. Go figure. The best part about his group is the member info and the main reason people want to be in there. Apart from that you're getting spoon fed 2/1 shots and told to back them to place.

When shaka aka Bert feels he isn't making enough money from members he will threaten to close the Facebook group as people aren't renewing even though there is nearly 1000 people in there paying for the pleasure. Manipulation at its very best. Avoid this man like the plague.

Con man

Closed down by Facebook for being proven to be a con man. Claimed to know Nicky Henderson and have horses training with him. All of which proven to be a lie. Do not touch!
