Case Study 4 - Value Horse Finder
A Review of Value Horse Finder by Harold Rollinson.

Well I opened the zip file and installed the VHF software with no fuss at all. Never having tried to create no risk arbitrage bets before I thought I'd better settle down for a long haul, however to my delight Value Horse Finder is nowhere near the complicated process I was fearing.

I had also been warned about the speed I would need to have to grab these arbitrage opportunities, and I am also pleased to say that the software highlights totally unique arbitrage trades. These trades are not the normal win/win arbitrage situations that disappear in the blink of an eye for very little profit. The arbitrage trades that VHF finds exploits a loophole in the bookmakers EW odds that he can't change his prices quick enough to block.

The software has the familiar look of the two odds comparison sites, those being Oddschecker.com and the Racing Post Betting Shop, as well as the familiar Betfair screens for the win and place markets. VHF operates on the UK horse racing markets only, because of the nature of bets it searches for. Yes that's right - win and place markets - but more of that later.

So let's start by looking at how experienced you need to be on a computer to use this software. Well the really excellent thing is even a computer newbie can operate this software successfully I am pleased to report. I found the instructions very easy to follow and within a few minutes I had the day's cards being scanned. I did decide to send an email to the developers and was amazed with the speed of the response. I can't speak highly enough of the backup service should it be needed.

The user only has to be able to literally point and click a series of options to operate this software, it is that easy to use. Oh and by the way did I mention once the bets are entered into the scanner you can leave the markets scanning in the background and a neat sound alert highlights a "no risk" arbitrage opportunity arising, leaving you free to spend your time as you like not tied to the computer screen.

So when you open VHF you are greeted by the familiar odds comparison page and four tabs across the top of the main screen. The Betfair win market, the Betfair place market, our choice of odds comparison site and the analysis tab. Above this are two white boxes and some user definable boxes to the right, these are the bookies EW stake, the EW terms of the race, your Betfair commission rate and the Return on Investment %.

All the user does is select the new "scanner" option and a small window opens with three columns displayed, you then select the Load Races option and the first two columns fill with the days races from the odds comparison site of your choice and the Betfair site. You simply point at the time of race from the odds comparison column and click, then select the same race from the Betfair win market and place market column and click to add to the scan list. It's that simple.

The end column then displays the list of races to be scanned . Should you make a mistake loading the scanner a small box opens to alert you that the markets are not matching and would you like to continue or not? Which is a very nice feature.

Once the day's races are loaded you simply check the Return on Investment criteria and make sure the minimum level of return is to your liking and the staking for the Bookmakers EW bet is set to the amount you are prepared to place. You then simply click to start scanning.

When the software screen comes to life the two white boxes in the top area of the screen fills with data from the bookmakers and Betfair odds and compares the data looking for a discrepancy to exploit geared up around your Return on Investment data. When VHF finds an opportunity it makes a sound and a red line appears to highlight the opportunity, it really stands out well.

Then you simply click the analysis tab, click the reset runners list and highlight the horse you are alerted to and all kinds of neat stuff is displayed. The important part I find is the probability figures it will show you the most likely outcome to expect whether the horse can be expected to win, place or finish unplaced.

You simply click the bet variable that best matches this probability. VHF calculates all the staking and odds required around the data you have already input, you then simply submit the bet to the Bookmaker securing this side of the arbitrage first to the amount you have entered as your EW bookmaker stake. Once the bookmaker price is secured you simply click the two Betfair submission buttons one to Lay the win bet and the other to Lay the place bet and the neat thing here is all the staking is automatically entered for you - just click the button and the bets are fired directly into the Betfair markets.

If you miss a price slightly or a better position arises and you want to change the odds and work around the new data there is a really neat feature in the analysis screen that allows you to enter your own odds criteria and the software recalculates your position.

This software is great fun to use and more importantly it's very profitable for no risk. The backup service is excellent and the Help Guides comprehensive and easy to follow.

All in all this software is a must for any arbitrage player, so why not go and have a look at VHF for yourself?

I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
