The Wizard Of Big Odds Review
It has been down hill all the way in my Wizard of Big Odds review with not a winning month throughout.
I lost another £448 in the third month of my trial to £10 stakes and 76.5% of bank has been lost.
Out of 202 bets, only 18 won or placed, which was a strike rate of just 8.9%.
Below are my stats for the final month and the whole trial.

Summary
With the tipster losing money in all three months of my trial, it's a clear cut decision to fail this service.
Although the service bets at big odds and things could rapidly change with a few winning bets, I personally would not feel comfortable carrying on with less than a quarter of my starting bank left to bet with.
Update Two: 14th August 2020
It has been another rotten month for The Wizard of Big Odds and I have now lost almost half of my bank.
The service lost a staggering £401 this month. Added to the £299 lost last month, that makes it £700 lost altogether.
Out of the 58 tips, there were just 3 winners and 1 place.

Summary
I am certainly not holding out much hope for this service now, but I will continue my trial for another month to see if they can turn things around.
Update One: 13th July 2020
The Wizard of Big Odds has had a shocker of a month and I have already lost £299.00 to £10 stakes in my trial.
That's almost 20% of my bank gone in one month, which I have to say, leaves me feeling a little uncomfortable with the service.
I'm aware that there will be more volatility as many of the tips are priced at double figure odds. They key is to try to keep a level head and ride it out.

Summary
Not the best of starts, but hopefully month two will bring some more positive results.
I will be back with an update in August.
Introduction: 13th June 2020
Tipster's Empire say that bringing The Wizard of Big Odds on board was "quite possibly the easiest decision" that they have ever made.
Since he began tipping on the platform, he claims to have accumulated a profit of £4,205 to £10 stakes.
Statistics to date:
- £4,205 profit to £10 stakes
- £180 monthly profit
- 30.5% ROI
- 14% strike rate
The Wizard is said to never shy away from a big price, rarely betting on short priced horses. He believes there is far more value to be found at the other end of the scale.
Although he considers himself a talented form student, he feels that watching races and having good instinct is even more critical.
He put his instincts and knowledge to good use when he bought his first racehorse, C'est No Mour, for the bargain price of 13,000 guineas. The horse went on to win over £31,000 in prize money at Ascot!
Due to being so successful in his betting career, he was one of the original Betfair 500 who were hit with the premium charge. Not only that, he was restricted at both online and high street bookmakers. Finding it difficult to place bets these days, he decided to launch his own tipping service.
Given that the service mostly advises bets at higher odds and has a fairly low strike rate, I imagine it won't suit everyone, but personally I am feeling really good about this one!
He has shown an excellent track record over the past two years with Tipster's Empire, so I'm hoping for a similar performance during my trial.
I will be back in a month's time with my first report.
