@ satyr: The way I see it, a per selection price in the range of 1-2 Euros is very reasonable, if you are in any way serious about making returns. By pricing yourself below that, you\\\'re trying to appeal to a huge market. A huge market, believe me has its downside in this industry. You really should not be aiming for 700-800 users, 100 medium stakers (100-400E) would be a far more desirable goal. 700 users at a low price is suicide in this industry.
If your current pricing is based on performance to date you\\\'re carrying a very narrow view of where you want to do with this. Make a reasonable offer, you might not have everyone signing up day 1, but some will while others will trail you for a period of time before they do, while those who can\\\'t afford to take his seriously will fade into the distance.
I\\\'m not a big fan of cappers teaming up. I always feel a capper should have the ability to stand on his own two feet. Unfortunately, it looks like BB has given itself no room for maneouver on that front.
I personally feel my decision to subscribe is a lot simpler if I\\\'m subscribing to Satyr ONLY. No disrespect to the others, but for the sports they are involved in, I simply have a service I am far more convinced by, to trail. This package with hundreds of tips is a product that devlues itself - both from the perspective of serious bettors and from the perspective of a well run, well organized business.
Lastly, I\\\'d be a bit cauious on what I have to say about the future. Some of you are riding high at the moment, and the confidence is evident in what you have to say about future performance. But, as of now - it\\\'s in no way substantiated. Some of you may well go on to achieve extremely high returns, but I\\\'m afraid these public pronouncements display a bit of naivety. These are markets which are dynamic - for you to pronounce a 15% edge for any period of time is simply not something that can be substantiated. Past records are only indicative, the future is unknown. You\\\'d all be better off focussing on educating punters on the fact that this is no easy game. |
