20 Minute System – Full Review
The 20 Minute System is a piece of software that automatically scans the bookmaker and Betfair markets to find value on the each-way golf markets.
It is the latest system from perennial systems developer Mike Cruickshank, who long-term followers will know we are big fans of.
Mike was the original matched betting guru, releasing the excellent Bonus Bagging and then Profit Maximiser packages, giving punters the tools to match-bet successfully and finally put one over on the bookies. Those systems were then copied by countless other system developers.
Over the years Mike has continued to innovate however and with this latest system he has turned his eye to the niche of each-way golf betting. With the bookies offering top 8 for the place – and even top 10 or 11 in majors – there is the potential for real value these days on the golf markets.
The trick of course is in finding the specific players who represent value and that is what the 20 Minute System aims to do. It scans the markets to identify those instances where the place part of the bet in particular represents value, taking into account the win and place odds on Betfair as a point of comparison.
The system is purely markets-based and does not consider form or stats like some of the other golf strategies we have reviewed here. It is actually based on the same concepts as the Each-Way Sniper software for horse racing, which we have reviewed – and passed – here at HBR.
In terms of using the software, it’s pretty simple. Just log on – Tuesdays and Wednesdays are best – check the software as to whether it has any selections, then go and place the bets.
Here is an example from the software – with the player(s), bookie and odds recommended. The number on the left is the EV rating and it is recommended to only take selections with a rating over 110 (which means 10% value).
Some weeks, particularly for the majors, there are a lot of selections so it can took longer than 20 minutes to place the bets. On other quieter weeks though there can be just a handful and it can take less. Either way it isn’t a difficult system to use and in reality whether it’s 20 minutes per week or 30-40, the workload is pretty low.
Anyway, all that is great in theory but it means nothing if the results don’t stack up. Fortunately though, after a nine month trial we are pleased to say that the results certainly did stack up – very well in fact!
Yes, with a superb 302 points profit made during our trial, it couldn’t have gone much better really.
That was achieved with a strike rate of 10%, which isn’t unusual for golf services, but a whopping return on investment of 54%, one of the best we’ve ever seen in a trial.
There were a host of winners and placed selections at huge odds during our review, including:-
- Collin Morikawa – WON the Open Championship @ 33/1
- Abraham Ancer – WON the WGC Fedex St Jude @ 45/1
- Kiradech Aphibarnrat – PLACED at the BMW PGA @ 175/1
- Keith Mitchell – PLACED at the CJ Cup @ 250/1
- James Morrison – PLACED at the Andalucia Masters @ 250/1
- Thriston Lawrence – WON the Joburg Open @ 200/1
- Luke List – WON the Farmers Insurance Open @ 80/1
- Russell Knox – PLACED at the Players Championship @ 225/1
- Scottie Scheffler – WON the Masters @ 18/1
As you can see then, some fantastic winners and placed selection throughout the trial at very juicy odds.
We haven’t included the Betfair results here as they are difficult to track, especially in the place market as Betfair offer top 5 and 10 rather than 7/8 places, but certainly on the win part of the bet you can normally beat the bookies’ odds. On the 100/1+ selections you can often get significantly better odds at Betfair.
Balancing the two parts out we imagine you would get similar results overall using Betfair, although as we say having not recorded the results we cannot be sure about that.
Anyway, all in all it’s been a very successful trial for the 20 Minute System and it’s a clear PASSED rating from us.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are available via logging in to the 20 Minute System software on Tuesday and Wednesday. It shouldn’t take too long to place the selections – sometimes it’s over 20 minutes on major weeks but not normally much longer than that.
Availability of prices: Prices are generally available and we didn’t see any problems obtaining the recommended odds.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 10%, which is quite low in general terms but not unusual for a golf service, which often have low strike rates due to the odds tipped at.
Advised Betting Bank: A 400 point betting bank is recommended for the service which seems very much adequate to us.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs are £99 + VAT for 12 months.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Once again Mike Cruickshank smashes it out the park (or should we say off the tee…) with another superb betting system.
This one, which is specifically for the each-way markets in golf, made a fantastic 302 points profit at a huge ROI of 54%, one of the highest ever in a trial here at HBR.
So it’s no surprise that it’s a conclusive PASSED rating for the 20 Minute System and a full five stars. Grab it while you can.

20 Minute System – Results Update
5th March 2022
The 20 Minute System is a piece of software that automatically scans the bookmaker and Betfair markets to find value on the each-way golf markets.
There’s been a small step backwards for the system over the last month, with 36 points lost since our last update.
However it is still an excellent 276 points up for our trial overall.

It was inevitable there would be a bit of a drop at some point as the system couldn’t go on churning out huge profits forever – golf betting is inherently very volatile as we often say.
Hopefully it will just be a small blip though and we’ll be back to winning ways again soon.

Quite remarkable stuff really and this is well on course to be one of our best trials ever.

Most of that profit came from Thirston Lawrence winning the Joburg Open at a huge 200/1, much to the delight of members.
It will be a bit quiet now for the system with little golf to speak of until the new year, but hopefully it can pick up where it left off with more profit in 2022.

Just a note that our reviewer missed a couple of events due to personal circumstances so members able to take the bets for those events will have slightly different results to us.
Anyway, good to see the continued success here, the 20 Minute System is doing exactly what it says on the tin!

Hopefully more of that to come…plus a winner or two would be great!
