One Piece Missing - FAQ's - Generally
Below you will find the general FAQ's concerning the site, if there are any further problems or questions then please contact us.
So what is One Piece Missing all about? The philosophy behind this website is simple, it is a place where you can get expert betting tips, columns and news on horse racing and football. What other benefits do I get if I become a Member? You will receive the benefits of our expert betting tips and knowledge of Horse Racing and Football. You will receive access to our Members area, which is where all the expert tips are placed. Also if you sign-up for one of our Silver, Gold or Gold+ memberships then you will also receive a weekly exclusive Saturday Selection SMS betting tip, a e-mail newsletter with betting tips, columns and previews sent every three months and also receive free or discount betting credits. In addition, we will inform you of any future services on the site and offer exclusive early access and discounts for subscribing to them. Also dependent on the Membership package selected you could also receive the member’s area tips daily via e-mail or SMS message. So how much is it? Currently our packages for 2008 are priced as follows:- 12 Month Memberships Bronze Membership - £10.00 GBP Silver Membership - £30.00 GBP Gold Membership - £50.00 GBP Gold+ Membership - £100.00 GBP Monthly Memberships (with automatic renewal) Bronze Membership - £3.00 GBP Silver Membership - £10.00 GBP Gold Membership - £15.00 GBP Gold+ Membership – Currently not available as monthly subscription All membership fees are paid in advance. How do I sign up / pay to become a Member? Select the package that you require and select to make payment via Paypal, which excepts all major credit cards. If there are any problems, or another method of payment is required (cheque/postal order), then please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you. Why is that so cheap compared to other similar sites? Some sites charge as much as 30.00 GBP a month for membership, or charge 1.00 GBP a SMS for a ‘top’ tip, which is disgraceful in our opinion. One Piece Missing believes that you should not be charged ‘excessive’ amounts to receive our expert betting tips from our worldwide leading tipsters. We keep the website simple, yet effective and concise and therefore can pass the saving onto our members. We also keep the prices low so that you can join us and watch our amazing results, without any risk that can be attached to sites with ‘ridiculously’ priced joining fees, where you need to make money just to cover the subscription fees. In addition, as regular users might have noticed, we do not place excessive advertisements on the site that can limit enjoyment of usage and slow down connection speeds for certain users. We do provide targeted advertisements and recommend that you use the offers if needed, but do not believe in applying hundreds of advertisements on each page. But some websites have fancy graphics and logos around their tips? One Piece Missing does not believe in charging you for fancy graphics and advertisements, when all you need are the facts. The facts are simply the date, time, event (race, football match etc.) the name of our selection and the estimated price. That is all you need to know, and we provide that to you as simply as possible. Think to yourself why sometimes you are paying up to 30.00 GBP a month for a website membership. The answer is probably because it is full of fancy graphics, flash pages and advertisements that the website owners need to recoup money on. Also ask yourself why there are so many advertisements for bookmakers on the tipping sites, check who owns the website and what organisation they are part of? Some sites simply act as portals to generate money from you through affiliations. There also could be some surprise when you realise that some tipping sites are even operated by bookmakers, or companies with direct financial links to them. Strange, to receive tips from a company that ultimately wants you to lose. It is like playing a game of cards with a friend for money, and them telling you what hand is the best to collect and how much to bet, would you believe them? How long is my membership? There are two membership options, you can subscribe monthly or you can pay for twelve months in advance (which is the cheaper and often more convenient option.) Close to the conclusion of your membership period One Piece Missing will send you an e-mail to see if you want to renew your membership with us. This is to prevent old accounts being established only to not be used, and to offer exclusive renewal prices. What if I change my e-mail address / phone number from the one I registered with? If your e-mail / phone number changes and you still want to be a member, please send details to us and we will upgrade your account. However, due to the administration involved, we can only change your e-mail / phone number on our systems once for free, after this a charge of 2.00 GBP per change will be required. I am not receiving the SMS messages / cannot access the site via my mobile/portable device? We use a repeatable system when processing our SMS messages and can monitor when they have been sent to your mobile service provider for delivery. At this point it is the responsibility of the member to ensure that they can receive the message as we accept no responsibility for any failure of technology on the users end. Similarly we cannot guarantee that all members will be able to access the site via a mobile/portable handset (dependent on contract, service provide, phone model etc.). All we ask is that if you have any questions on your ability to access these services, particularly outside the UK, then please contact your mobile phone service provider or phone manufacturer. I cannot login to your Membership area Initially ask yourself, are you a member? If yes, then are you entering your login and password details correctly? If yes again, then please contact us and we will investigate the problem and issue new details. Occasionally, maintenance work will be required with the password system / membership areas which could affect the ability to login to the area, we will inform uses on the site if this is the case. Can I just pass the tips / login details to someone else to use? In theory, yes, however, we have a number of advanced tracking techniques that can spot misuse of the Membership area, access to the site via a mobile/portable handset and SMS messages. Also we recommend that you do not share access to the areas or special betting tips as all this will do is reduce the price of the event (in most cases) that you are betting upon. For example, if we have 500 members and everybody shares their SMS Horse 'Hot Tip of the Week' with 5 other people, then it could be a potential 2,500 people betting on the same horse rather than just 500, potentially reducing the SP (starting price) and subsequently the potential returns. I have heard a lot about race systems, shall I use one? Race systems can work and they can also fail, so the choice is yours. We do not offer a system, or sell you our One Piece Missing Pathfinder method of betting. In our experience, we have found that placing simpler bets often have the greatest reward. I have seen websites that say I will definitely make money. Will I make money using your tips? The nature of gambling is the taking of risks, more often than not they are not in your favour. We do not guarantee that you will win, or make money we are simply providing you with solid betting tips, based on our knowledge and experience. However, we are already showing an amazing profit! Why does the site say 18+ only? That is the minimum legal age to gamble within the UK, therefore if you are under this age the tips we provide are useless. Please do not use the site if you are under 18. Residents of other countries outside the UK, please check your local gambling laws before using this site. I think I have a gambling problem what can I do? Please admit the problem, stop using this site and visit either Gamblers Anonymous (uk), Gamcare (uk) or www.gamaid.com for more information. There is a conflict with what One Piece Missing states in these FAQ’s and the Terms and Conditions for becoming a Member? Please accept our apologies (someone is being fired!); the terms and conditions will take precedent if this is the case.One Piece Missing - FAQ's - Horse Racing / Football Selections
Below you will find the FAQ's for the horse racing and football selections on the site, if there are any further problems or questions then please contact us.
Why do I have to be a member to access the betting tips? Our staff and writers work hard to produce informative and knowledgeable betting tips for you to use. In return, betting tips are available to Members only to allow the most exclusive tips to receive elite views. In addition, we have a team of some of the most respected and famous ‘tipsters’ in the world and therefore need to apply a Membership fee to cover their expert time and effort. The cheapest Membership package is currently £10.00 GBP for twelve months or £3.00 a month (monthly) (Bronze) which is an amazing price, however, we recommend the Gold Package as a minimum for new members. So, when are the members tips updated? Please see the 'about' section for more details. Generally, we attempt to update the betting tips by (at the latest) 11:00 am on the day of the event, so you can get the best possible price and have time to place the bet. However, obviously, there can still be potential non-runners, sporting events cancelled etc. so please just keep checking the sections. We do always attempt to keep to these guidelines so that they are up to date, although obviously this cannot be guaranteed. Why do you not use a point system like other websites? The point system, for example, 2pts win, is widely used as a guide to the amount to bet particularly in the horse racing world. However, we do not believe that this is particularly informative and serves the same purpose as, say, a star rating system. We use the One Piece Missing Pathfinder system as a basis for our ‘Hot Tip Of The Day’ and ‘Each-Way Expert’ as a guide to what amount you should bet. There is no particular bet that is better than another as this can be subject to other conditions. In addition to this, the points system is often used to imply the chasing of losses, we do not recommend this. Simply use our One Piece Missing Pathfinder system or bet what you want, based on what you can afford to lose. Can I use the sporting tips on my website? The tips can be used for personal use (including printing), however, if they are to be used in any way (published, website etc.) then you must contact us and request permission. This is to protect our uses and members who are attempting to get the best possible price available on a certain sporting event, which could be compromised by our excellent tips being widely published. We take copyright very seriously at One Piece Missing as the writers spend a lot of time on the betting tips produced. Therefore, we are constantly checking for misuse of our work on the internet and through other sources. Please do not mindfully infringe copyright on our selections without permission.

Below you will find the FAQ's for the Pathfinder System used on the site, if there are any further problems or questions then please contact us.
I keep seeing the words One Piece Missing Pathfinder, what is this all about? It is the name that we use for our betting advice based upon our extensive experience. It is based on an advised monthly betting pot of £100, which we direct how much to bet and if to use win or each-way, with our ‘Hot Tip Of The Day’ and ‘Each-Way Expert’. It is a tested system for producing monthly profits that can then be banked, or if you so chose, added to the next months pot (although we always stick to the £100 limit a month for reference). So does this mean that you advise us to gamble £25 a week? We advise you what to bet upon if you use the One Piece Missing Pathfinder system, although you can gamble more or less dependent on your circumstances. Also our advised stakes are based on a number or key criteria leading to the selection, therefore, the bets each week will reflect this. One week there may only be £5 gambled of the £100 pot, other weeks there could be £85 gambled, dependent on horses, meetings, confidence etc. Do I need to follow the One Piece Missing Pathfinder system for a whole month? To produce maximum profits we recommend you follow the system over at least a period of a month. This is because of the winning and losing troughs that can occur, leading to the overall profit. For example, there could be two days (although rarely) where the system fails to produce a winner, if these are the only two days you use the system then it will show a negative. However, over the period of the month there will be an eventual profit. The nature of gambling to make money is long-term steady gains, any website or ‘tipping’ service that offers instant profit is either lying or using a system to chase losses. If they are not and can make masses of profit instantly then they must have the ‘secret key to gambling’ so why are they not in a yacht in the Mediterranean rather than updating a website daily! What level of profit can I expect each month? Profit levels vary, but the key word is ‘Profit’. That is what we will show each month, there are no promises of winning thousands upon thousands of pounds like some other ‘false’ sites. We can say this because or system is tested over years, not days or months, over years! Why are not all the sections on the website covered by the One Piece Missing Pathfinder system? The One Piece Missing Pathfinder system works on the principle of two selections daily to maximise profits (‘Hot Tip Of The Day’ and ‘Each-Way Expert’). Also other amazing sections on the site such as the ‘Saturday Service’ and ‘The Irish Invader’ are supplied by our team of tipsters based upon their knowledge, systems and successful strategies that do not necessary suit the Pathfinder system, although they are excellent and should be backed! How can I see if this system is successful? We publish a daily report statement that can be found in our members area and a monthly report that can be found using the Results Link at the top of this page. For this exercise and to keep our results fair we always take the official SP, although more often than not, if you were to stake the bet in the morning when the tip is provided, a better price would be available.One Piece Missing - FAQ's - Live Help
Below you will find the FAQ's for the Live Help system used on the site, if there are any further problems or questions then please contact us.

No, unlike some ‘Live Help’ systems on similar websites, you will be talking to a member of the One Piece Missing Team. This is so we can provide the ‘human’ touch to your problems and can provide expert advice rather than generic answers. Can I decide which team member I would like to speak to? No, this will be determined by who is currently available on Live Help. So what can I ask Live Help? Live Help is available to answer general questions regarding the site. For example, accessibility problems, when certain selections will be updated, general membership queries etc. Live Help can also answer general quires regarding current betting tips on the site.
