FAQ
Q: Can a subscription be cancelled at any time?
A: Cancel any time. Cancelled subscriptions will be allocated on a basis of time left on the 30-day subscription (i.e., two weeks left; $10 refunded).
Q: What happens if you do not post new articles for subscribers for, say, one week?
A: If fresh articles are not published in any given week, the subscription will be extended for a week. I cannot imagine there would be many weeks out of the year when articles would not be published.
Q: Will you just be offering opinions on certain fights?
A: The idea is to offer an opinion on every bettable fight, even if it is only a “stay away from this” opinion.
Q: You will have free content on the site. Will subscribers get exclusive previews?
A: Yes, there will be previews that will be exclusive to subscribers.
Q: Will your previews appear before the sportsbook betting lines are published, or after?
A: After. I spend many hours researching fights. The oddsmakers are very good at what they do, one or two are even brilliant at it, but if I come across what I think is a nugget of information I do not wish to give any tipoffs. Oddsmakers do sometimes post an “off” line. These mistakes by oddsmakers are increasingly rare, but they do happen. Subscribers will be alerted when I see what I feel is an “off” line.
Q: Will subscribers get anything more than the wagering opinions and exclusive previews?
A: Yes. The plan is for articles on the philosophy of wagering (such as how to proceed when a player wants to “have action” but has no solid opinion), the strategy to adopt when a negative spell occurs (and it does happen), plus a breakdown of the past week’s fights from a wagering perspective (what went wrong, what went right). I believe that in boxing, in betting and in life itself one is learning all the time. I have made mistakes and I like to think I have learned from them. I want the subscription part of the site to be entertaining as well as informative.
Q: What do you bring to the table?
A: I have been doing this for a very long time — writing about boxing, in Europe and North America, observing and studying. Some of you will know me, or know of me. I spend many hours analysing forthcoming fights. Regular readers of the Fightwriter site will know my track record.
Q: Is a subscription going to be worth the money?
A: It depends how you look at it. For five bucks a week you will at worst get what I believe will be an entertaining read. All wagering opinions should be your own. I will be offering opinions but it is always going to be your finger on the “accept wager” trigger. I am just your second opinion. However, if, each month, I can guide a player even to one winner that he would not have had without being a subscriber, then that month’s subscription will have more than paid for itself.
Q: Will you inform subscribers by email when a new article or opinion has been posted in the subscription section?
A: Yes.
Q: Will you inform subscribers by email when a new article or opinion has been posted in the subscription section?
A: Yes.
Q: What are the payment methods?
A: I accept payments by PayPal, including credit card and bank payments through PayPal. Or you can send a cheque or money order. (My mailing address will be supplied on request.)
