Things haven't got any better in the second month of my Text Winner review and I have lost more than a third of my bank already.
The results on the tipster's page at Betting Gods are looking a bit dire now, with just an average monthly profit of £22.43.
Most of the tips for this service are priced fairly low, perhaps favourite or second favourite to win the race, with a few outsiders thrown in.
I would expect much more consistent results and a higher striker rate at this range of odds.

Summary
All tipsters experience bad runs but when long-term results start to look poor, it doesn't fill me with confidence to keep following them.
I don't usually do this, but I am going to throw the towel in and finish this trial early. I just don't see things drastically improving, which is what I would need to see in order to give a pass.
Update One: 1st July 2022
My trial of Text Winner hasn't had a great start and I lost £173.90, or 17.4% of my bank in the first month.
Looking at the performance breakdown on the Betting Gods website, the tipster has had months like this before and has been able to recover from it.
Hopefully it will be a quick recovery as another month with poor results could be really bad news for the trial.

Summary
I will post my next set of results in a month's time. Fingers crossed for profit this time!
Introduction: 30th May 2022
Text Winner is a horse racing tips service from the Betting Gods stable that have achieved a 77.1% bank growth since January 2021.
Their results added up to a profit of £771.05 based on £10 per pt stakes and not including any Best Odds Guaranteed prices.
The average monthly profit is on the low side at £45.36 but the ROI is at a healthy 10.15% and the service is at an affordable price at just £49 per quarter.
Here's a breakdown of the statistics for the service to date:
The results aren't the most exciting I have seen but the profit graph is heading in the right direction and that is the main thing.
I look forward to seeing how this tipster gets on in my trial and I will be back soon with an update.
