The original Little Acorns system has been around since 2003 and is still going strong. But does it work on US Racing too?
Andrew David decided to test this theory and although there were some differences, he found that the core principles that made Little Acorns work were universal.
The system is a simple lay betting strategy for horse racing on Betfair Exchange, with no bookmaker accounts required.
With some tinkering with the original filters, Andrew worked out the parameters for the system to work with US horse races.
It has been tested since June 2020, and at the time of my review, had achieved more than 108 points profit and had only experienced 2 losing months out of a total of 28.
They were only small losses too, with -3.5 points in one month and -0.3 points in the other.
During my review, the system made a profit in all five months and I finished with 38.46 points profit at an ROI 27.5% and a 29.6% increase to my bank.
It was a no-brainer to award a pass rating!

I already knew that the original Little Acorns system was low risk and provided steady gains, as I had made consistent profits during my eight month review.
I expected Little Acorns International to produce similar results, but as always, I wanted to try it out for myself to be sure.
With Little Acorns International being based on US horse racing, the bets are mostly in the evening for those in the UK, usually from 5.00pm - 12.30am.
All bets are sent out through email, so you don't need to go and manually find bets yourself. The first email is a "heads up" message that tells you the chances of their being a bet in different time brackets, so you know when to look out for an email.
Review Update - Latest Results
The Little Acorns International system has produced a profit in every one of the past twelve months, totalling 78.14 points.
Based on a £1,500 starting bank, stakes would be set at £30 per point, so the profit adds up to £2,344.20.
This is without compounding the bank each month, which the system guide highly recommends.
Compounding stakes since Sept '23 has produced a remarkable profit of £8,550.20.
They are well on course for achieving their £1,500 to £50,000 3 year challenge.
"Well wow! This alert service and filters we use never cease to amaze me! As you know with compounding it's not until the second half of year 2 that profits start to build faster. " - Andrew David

Update October '24: Since posting these updated results, Little Acorns International has continued to produce outstanding results. September finished with 12.94 points profit, which makes it the best month of the year to date.
"An absolute great week for Little Acorns International, then again it's always done well.
Only 2 small losing months since launch in June 2020 of -0.3pts & 3.5pts, so very robust even at level stake laying.
Amazes me how others have cottoned on to American racing and the vulnerability of odds on favourites as it is a goldmine. Mind you it is the filters that do the job as laying favs blind does not work." - Andrew David
Month One Update
It was a positive start to my Little Acorns International review with 9.31 points profit at an ROI of 22.6% banked using the Fibonacci staking plan.
I also recorded 5.61 profit using level stakes at an ROI of 22.3%.
There were a total of 30 bets that met the qualifying odds out of all of those sent out and 17 of them won (or lost, since I was laying), which was a strike rate of 56.7%.

My results are based on the starting price and do not include commission, which varies depending which country you are in, but in our case it would just be a 2% deduction.
I had the option to follow the "Pension Booster 200 Compounding Plan" from here, but for review purposes, I decided to keep stakes the same throughout.
Month Two Update
Little Acorns International delivered a further 6.5 points profit at an ROI of 22% using the advised staking plan in month two of my review.
I also recorded 2.6 points profit based on level stakes at an ROI of 15.3%.
There were 22 bets that met the odds criteria and 11 of them returned a profit, which was a 50% strike rate with average odds of 1.77.
The Fibonacci staking system had been doing well to boost my profit, although it did carry more risk than level stakes.

Month Three Update
Both my level stakes and Fibonacci betting banks were growing steadily during my Little Acorns International review, with three out of three profitable months.
I added 6.55 points profit to the Fibonacci bank at an ROI of 29.5% and my total profit was up to 22.36 points, which was a 17.2% total increase to the bank.
Level staking was ticking along nicely too with 12.16 points profit overall and a 12.2% increase to the bank.

Month Four Update
Month four was the worst that I had experienced during my Little Acorns International review, but even then, I still managed to make a 4.7 points profit using the Fibonacci staking method.
At level stakes I came out unscathed from the two losing runs and finished up with 0.5 points profit.
My Fibonacci bank had now increased by 20.8% with steady gains each month.

Month Five Update
It was a fantastic month for Little Acorns International with 11.4 points profit using both the advised staking plan and level staking plan. There were no stake increases as there weren't any losing runs throughout the whole month.
I had accumulated a fantastic 38.46 points profit in total using this system and a respectable 24.06 points using the low risk level staking method.

Review Summary
I was confident going into this review that the system would work, as I had already tested and passed the original system for UK and Irish racing.
Although the filters for US racing may have differed slightly, I expected similar results.
It worked out brilliantly, with 38.46 points profit an an ROI of 27.5% for the advised Fibonacci staking plan.
Even at level stakes, which is the lowest risk way to use the system, I recorded 24.06 points profit at an ROI of 25.8%.
Key Stats
Level | Fibonacci | |
---|---|---|
Number of Bets | 118 | 118 |
Total Stakes (pts) | 93.22 | 139.87 |
Profit/Loss (pts) | 24.06 | 38.46 |
Profit/Loss (£10 stakes) | £240.60 | £384.60 |

Overall Bank Growth | 24.1% | 29.6% |
Bank (100pt/130pt starting) | 124.06 | 168.46 |
It was incredibly easy to operate, as it was just a case of waiting for the email alert and laying the horse on Betfair Exchange.
The only thing was, if using the advised staking plan, you would need to note down where you are in the sequence to make sure you remember what the next stake is.
The highest stake that I had with the Fibonacci system was 8 points and that was just on one occasion. Starting with the extra cushion of a 130 point bank meant that I never felt uncomfortable with the staking.
As you can see, using level stakes produced a profit every month too, so that would be more suitable for the risk averse.
I didn't include any of the compounding methods during my review, which would have boosted profit considerably.
One member came up with a compounding plan nicknamed the "Pension Booster", which starting with a £1,500 bank has surpassed £31,000 profit in 33 months. This was achieved simply by increasing stakes by 2% of the bank each month.
With a system that is so consistent, compounding stakes is a great way to accelerate bank growth.
It was an easy decision to give Little Acorns International a pass and definitely one to add to the portfolio.
You state figures based on 2% of the bank – this would equate to a bank of 50 points. You wouldn’t have enough in your bank to place the required 21 point bet after 7 losses, never mind the next 34 point bet.
Hi KG, With this system you are often laying at odds much below 2.00. Although after 7 losses you would be laying at a 21 point stake, you wouldn’t be risking 21 points, it would be much less than that.
I didn’t say you would be risking 21 points rather placing a 21 point bet – your risk would be dependent on the odds, but clearly a lay just under evens would be risking almost the full stake.
What are the average odds of selections? 1.8ish? So after 7 losing bets you would on average be down 33 x 1.8 = 26.4 points.
Yes, it does seem to be a more aggressive staking plan than the one I used during my review. I followed the conservative advice of using a 130 point starting bank and started the sequence with a 1 point stake.
It’s worth noting that the system has performed well at level stakes if you wanted to avoid using the Fibonacci staking system.
