Hi everyone,
I received a letter from a Mr Beaumont offering 15% commission win or lose when placing bets on his behalf.
it all sounds too good to be true and just wondering if anyone else has received this letter or similar?Many thanks.
Apparently, he’s Paul Beaumont of Beaumont Tips and he can’t get his bets on cos he wins too much, so he uses proxies. I’d love to know how he got my name & address.
It’s obvious that he’s gambling off other people’s money. If the bet wins, then the proxy gives him 85% of the profit but if the bet loses, you’d never hear from him again – lol.
Does it qualify as a scam?lol @ 15% win or lose
100% this is a scam – old Mr Beaumont might have caught a few suckers if he’d been more realistic.
15% is far too much to be paying. Very few gamblers would make that in a season.
I had a similar letter, could even be the same chap. Vaguely remember some check racing colours (may be blue or green) in the heading?
Sympathise with someone not being able to get on. I often see a big price on oddschecker when the Early Prices first come through in the evening before the race (when there’s little or no liquidity in exchanges) and wish I could take it. Then, by the time liquidity increases the price has shortened considerably. When you’re a “form” backer the best prices are imo early. ie Although “on form” a horse may have gone out to what may look a value price nearer off time, often markets gets to know those that won’t run to form – so aren’t “value”. Therefore, it’s not as easy as saying “get on betfair” (although it obviously helps). Frustrating, so can understand either selling tips or getting others to put money on and charging comission. But not at that rate.
Bin it.

Those stats are for 2011-13. Looks like the site packed up and he’s now making money out of other punters.
I didnt even look that much in detail, just the general spiel BS

GT or others – what sort of deal would you offer somebody to be your runner and get bets on for you?

Looked bullsh!t tv to me but Mr Beaumont could give it a ago.Yes Derren Brown I think. But in the end told her how it was done and then gave her a tip for the final race. Backed the wrong one but somehow swapped her ticket for a winning one or something of that nature.
Bob Hope was doing the same thing at the start of The Lemon Drop Kid (1951):
