Month 1 Summary
Our Deep Thought review started shakily with the first seven bets losing. However three good winners on Day two and another 7/1 on Day three put the service into a healthy position and after Day six was 22.5 pts in profit. Signs were this was going places.
Alas there was to be a downturn as the next 23 bets all lost which wiped out the profits made.
Unfortunately the situation hasn’t improved as at the end of Month one the profit is only 4.54 pts.
Deep Thought has to get into the winning habit again in Month two.
Selections were available by the previous evening before racing and prices recommended readily obtainable with the major bookmakers.
| Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes | +£45.41 |
| Number of bets | 119 |
| Number of wins | 18 |
| Strike Rate | 15.13% |
| Return On Investment | 3.82% |
Month 2 Summary
This has been a month to forget for this service, as it plunged from a 4.5 points profit to a 42 points loss with a mere 14 winners from 112 bets and a ROI of -37.50%.
It was unable to get a string of winners and there were losing runs of 10 – 14 which no punter can sustain such losses. Nothing short of a miracle can revive this service, so let us see how the final month will perform.

Month 3 Summary
A much improved final month for our Deep Thought review from Betfan, which helped reduce the deficit, but nonetheless this service finished showing a loss due to the losses incurred in month two.
A losing run of thirteen consecutive losses did not help nor a best of two consecutive wins (once only).
| Profit/Loss to £10 Level Stakes | +205.41 |
| Number of bets | 112 |
| Number of wins | 19 |
| Strike Rate | 16.96% |
| Return On Investment | 18.34% |
Deep Thought Conclusion
This service was very inconsistent with two profitable months of the three reviewed. Somehow it was unable to get into a rhythm of winning results.
Consecutive winners were few and far between and in fact the best winning run was three (once) and two (twice) whilst losing runs were common with thirteen being the longest. No service can sustain this.
I am unable to recommend this service and award it 3/5.
