In a post recently about people I’m looking to follow in 2012 I mentioned Guy Ward. He’s the brains behind the Mathematician Betting web site.

Whenever I’ve asked readers before, which products and services they’d like to see reviewed here, Mathematician Betting has always been suggested by more than a few people.

Coupled with the fact I’ve been a fan since 2005, I thought I should actually get around to compiling a review.

I first came across The Mathematician in 2005 whilst he was under the spotlight as part of a tipster survey being run by the Observer Newspaper. At the time he was producing some noticeable profits for members.

So essentially Guy Ward is a horse racing tipster. But I don’t want to pigeon-hole him, and I should immediately qualify that categorisation by stressing that Guy Ward is also much, much more than a tipster. Understand this, it’s a genuine betting advisory service.

Guy sends out a daily email message, which includes any selections for that day. This is standard practice for any tipster service; but what I generally like to see, and what Mathematician Betting provides, is not only the name(s) of horses to be bet but also full analysis of his thought processes. This tells me that the service is genuine, and not simply a front for some wannabe tipster picking names out of the Racing Post every day and passing them off as ‘tips’.

I found these customer testimonials on the web site, and for me they sum up what the service is about just as well as I could, if not better.

I have subscribed to many services that promise to provide you with winners, but this is by far the best one and the best value for money service I have come across. Guy puts in so much effort to provide detailed statistical information on selected races which shows how he has come to the conclusion of his selection. His results are fantastic, as well as regular winning definite bets he provides you with information and suggestions on other races that leads you to further winners. His service is incredibly valuable and profitable, and im thrilled with it.

Whilst I’ve only been a member of your service for a couple of months, I’ve quickly come to learn that yours is the most genuine, value for money and profitable service around. The mix of education and profitability has been perfect for me and the subscriptions would have been well worth paying even if we had only maintained zero profit / loss!

For the purposes of the review, I will follow the advised selections over the course of a month, and publish the results accordingly. I’m also going to show you one or two sample messages so you have an idea of the detail Guy goes into each day.

That’s it for now, and as they say “Watch this space” for an update in a few weeks.

In the meantime, if you’ve had experience of Mathematician Betting please share your thoughts with others readers and leave a comment below.
