The Master Plan Review: Re-Trial Update One
My re-trial of The Master Plan horse racing tips service has started off slowly, with £18.50 lost in the first month.
It's only a small loss so I am hoping that a good month next month will see me back into profit.
I haven't had any problems getting the advised prices, so my profit at the available prices has worked out the same.

Summary
There's no much else to say here, so I will keep on going with The Master Plan and hope to see a profit to get 2020 off to a good start.
Re-Trial Introduction: 27th November 2019
There's no denying The Master Plan had a terrible time of it during my trial earlier this year.
However, PuntHub have informed me that since I endured 3 out of 3 losing months, there have been 9 winning months in a row and more than 200 points profit!
Obviously I can't ignore this, so I will be running a re-trial of the service to see if my rating should be adjusted.
I will be back next month with my first update.
Update Three: 22nd March 2019
After three losing months in a row, I have decided to wrap up my trial of The Master Plan.
All in all, the service lost £409.10 to £10 stakes for the whole trial which is 41% of my starting bank.
The service is run by the same guy that runs the Tea Time Tipster service over at PuntHub, which you may remember also had an unsuccessful trial.
I was willing to give The Master Plan a try as I was advised it would be a lower volume of tips and the initial proofing looked promising. However, it has performed poorly at both the available prices and Betfair SP.
I also wasn't always able to find the advised prices on oddschecker which had an effect on my results overall, although both sets of results show a loss anyway.
| The Master Plan – Update Three | Advised Prices | Price taken | Betfair SP |
| Profit (£) | (£ 37.50) | (£ 65.00) | (£ 56.30) |
| Profit (pts) | (3.8) | (6.5) | (5.6) |
| New Bank | £ 860.10 | £ 788.40 | £ 732.81 |

Summary
There's not much else to say here... it's a clear fail for The Master Plan. Onto the next!
Update Two: 25th February 2019
The poor results for The Master Plan have continued on into the second month of my trial.
Despite achieving a much better strike rate this month, I have lost a further £66.60 to £10 stakes at the available prices which makes it a total of £254.10 lost for the trial so far.
| The Master Plan – Update Two | Advised Prices | Price taken | Betfair SP |

Summary
I am beginning to wonder whether the proofing results for this service were just a stroke of luck, or perhaps reliant on bookies offering Best Odds Guaranteed. However, I won't give up just yet!
I will be back next month with an update.
Update One: 20th January 2019
I'm one month in to my trial of The Master Plan and it hasn't started very well (but there's a long way to go).
So far, I have lost £187.50 at the available prices which is definitely not the start I was looking for.
It's not uncommon for a tipster to hit a bad run right after completing their initial three months proofing to a site.
This service had reported a profit of more than 100 points with an ROI of 30.5%, which realistically would be hard to keep up in the long run.
| The Master Plan – Update One | Advised Prices | Price taken | Betfair SP |
| Profit (£) | (£ 45.00) | (£ 80.00) | (£ 194.48) |
| Profit (pts) | (4.5) | (8.0) | (19.4) |
| New Bank | £ 955.00 | £ 920.00 | £ 805.52 |
| % Bank Growth | -4.50% | -8.00% | -19.45% |
| Winning Bets | 16 | 16 | 16 |
| Total Bets | 104 | 104 | 104 |
| Strike Rate | 15.38% | 15.38% | 15.38% |
| ROI | -4.33% | -7.69% | -18.70% |

Summary
Let's hope that this was just a blip and that this tipster can find some winners over the next month.
I will be back next month with another update.
Introduction: 20th December 2018
PuntHub have recently welcomed a new tips service from their casting couch after some great results during proofing.
Introducing The Master Plan, a horse racing service from the author of the Tea Time Tipster.
Now you may recall that I didn't get on very well with the Tea Time Tipster service as there were just too many bets and not much to show for it. So I am hoping that The Master Plan will be more manageable, reporting an average 4-6 bets each evening.
The results since September show a profit of 117.47 points with an ROI of 30.5%, so that would be an average £392 profit each month based on using £10 stakes.
All bets are 1 point win bets so it should be a pretty simple service to follow. I am going to be using a £1,000 bank for my trial and will be staking £10 on each bet.
If you want to try out The Master Plan for yourself, it's currently available at £20 for the first month.
I will be back next month with my first update.
