It has been a poor month for Bargain Punt, bringing my trial to a close with a further £91.25 lost. Added to the first two months, I have lost a total of £108.70 for the trial.
The performance of the tips at BSP wasn't any better with £156.90 lost in total.
I chose to concentrate on just the single bets for my trial, but another side to the service is the multiple bets. It looks like I dodged a bullet as the multiples lost 88.16 pts, or £881.60 using £10 stakes.

Summary
All in all, it has been a disappointing trial and I won't be giving my recommendation for Bargain Punt.
It could have been quite a disaster if I had included the multiples, but even without those, the results were poor throughout my three month trial.
I'll be moving on swiftly to try and source out better performing horse racing tips services.

Summary
Will month three bring an influx of profit? I am not holding out much hope but anything can happen in these betting trials. I will be back next month with my third update.
Update One: 2nd June 2023
My trial of Bargain Punt didn't start well with a run of 11 losing bets in my first week, but thankfully it got better. At the end of my first month I finished with £7.00 profit.
The service has been a smooth operation so far with the bets being posted at 10.00am each day and I have had no problems finding odds that beat the minimum price posted.

A steady start to my trial but I am hoping to see more profit in the second month.
I will be back soon with my next results report.
Introduction: 25th April 2023
Bargain Punt is a horse racing strategy from the Lucrative Racing stable that focuses on a combination of win and multiple bets at what they deem to be "bargain prices".
So what are Bargain Punts or "bargain prices" exactly?
In a nutshell, the prices of the selections need to be higher than the SP (starting price), meaning that they have an edge against the bookies and are good value to bet on.
Of course, there is no knowing what the SP is going to be, so this is where the strategy comes in to play.
The team have a unique odds compilation algorithm, price tracking software and form tools that they use to find strong bets on a frequent basis.
One of the interesting factors to this system is that most bets are at shorter prices, so they are more likely to stay under the radar of the bookies, allowing you to keep your accounts open for longer.
Here's a breakdown of the statistics for the service to date:
The selections are posted at 10.00am Monday to Saturday and there is an email alert to let you know when they ready.
There are several staking methods, so I will be taking a look at those but my main results will be at level stakes to keep things simple.
I will be back next month with my first set of results.
Hi Amy
I have had this some time ago and found it to be honest and invaluable.
Would be very much interested in the revised version.
That is good to hear, I hope it performs well during my trial.
