Betting Mastermind – Full Review

Betting Mastermind (Football) is a suite of football betting systems across a range of markets.

It should not be confused with Mike Cruickshank’s matched betting suite of the same name, which was released a couple of years ago and is completely separate. To differentiate the two we refer to this service as Betting Mastermind (Football).

Anyway, Betting Mastermind (Football) is a group of football betting strategies, which at the start of our trial consisted of:

Back the draw
Lay the draw
Back the home win
Back the away win
Back over 0.5 first half goals

During the course of our review, the lay the draw strategy was dropped. We were also not able to proof the first half goals system which often has low liquidity so prices needed to be verified at kick-off time (with some matches kicking off late at night and early morning when we were not available).

Anyway, all four strategies are included within the monthly subscription price if you do wish to follow them all.

We followed the service for 9 months which gave us nearly a full season of tips and provided over 1700 bets, a very good sample size.

Bets can be placed on Betfair which is good for those whose bookie accounts have been restricted and results are recorded according to the Betfair prices. All bets are simple win bets with no trading required.

At the end of our review, the results of the systems were as follows:-

Back the draw: -2 points
Lay the draw: -33 points (discontinued in January)
Back the home win: +36 points
Back the away win: +13 points

TOTAL: +14 points

So a solid effort there but given it was over the course of nine months and over 1700 bets, the returns were a little on the low side.

The return on investment was also low at just 1% and the bank growth only 7%.

Whilst we always a profit is a profit and shouldn’t be sniffed at, ultimately if you take the overall returns and cost of subscription, it just doesn’t quite warrant a passed rating from us.

So we award Betting Mastermind a NEUTRAL rating at the end of our trial. If you are going to follow the service, it looks like the back the home win and back the away win are the two strategies to concentrate on.

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, at different times of day depending on when the matches are. Either way there is plenty of time to get the bets on. With around 6 bets per day on average there is a bit of work involved in following the service, although as mentioned earlier all bets can be placed on Betfair which makes things easier.

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice a huge impact on prices so you should be able to get close to the recorded results without too much problem.

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was okay at 35% but would probably need to be a little higher to generate a consistent profit.

Advised Betting Bank: We could not see a recommended bank for following the service but used a 200 point bank for the purposes of our review which was never in jeopardy.

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £29.99 per month.

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Betting Mastermind (Football) is a suite of football betting systems covering a range of different markets.

We conducted a nine-month trial of the service and at the end of our review, they made a solid profit of 14 points.

Whilst that was a respectable result, based on a low ROI of 1% and bank growth of just 7%, it wasn’t quite enough to merit a passed rating so it’s a NEUTRAL rating from us for this service.

Betting Mastermind – Results Update

16th April 2023

It’s been a good time lately for football service Betting Mastermind, with a profit of 40 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 73 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.

That is made up of the following results across their three systems:

Back the Draw: +7 points
Back the Home Win: +41 points
Back the Away Win: +25 points
Lay the Draw: discontinued

You can view full results here.

As mentioned previously there are a huge number of selections for this service, so you may wish to follow just one or two of the systems rather than all of them (also a note that we are no longer including the FHG bets in our results as they turned out quite difficult to proof on prices).

The Lay the Draw selections had been really struggling and were over 40 points down for our trial, so were discontinued on 18th March so that some time can be taken to review it and put it to use in a better way.

Betting Mastermind – Results Update

10th February 2023

It’s been a better month for football service Betting Mastermind, with a profit of 32 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That is made up of the following results across their five systems:

Back the Draw: +21 points
Lay the Draw: -33 points
Back the Home Win: +21 points
Back the Away Win: +24 points

You can view full results here.

Alternatively there is the option of using BF Bot Manager to automate the strategies, with instructions on how to do so included with the service.

Betting Mastermind – Results Update

6th January 2023

There’s been a slight downturn for football service Betting Mastermind lately, with a loss of 19 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now just 1 point up for our trial overall at advised prices.

That is made up of the following results across their five systems:

Back the Draw: -3 points
Lay the Draw: -22 points
Back the Home Win: +23 points
Back the Away Win: +3 points
Over 0.5 First Half Goals +0.24 points

You can view full results here.

As mentioned previously there are a huge number of selections for this service, so you may wish to follow just one or two of the systems rather than all five.

Alternatively there is the option of using BF Bot Manager to automate the strategies, with instructions on how to do so included with the service.

Either way though has been a steady trial so far at pretty much breakeven so hopefully they can kick on now that we have a full set of football fixtures again.

Betting Mastermind – Results Update

2nd November 2022

It’s been a positive start to our trial of football service Betting Mastermind, with a profit of 20 points made so far to advised prices.

That is made up of the following results across their five systems:

Back the Draw: -10 points
Lay the Draw: -30 points
Back the Home Win: +33 points
Back the Away Win: +27 points
Over 0.5 First Half Goals +0.3 points

You can view full results here.

Just to note that we have only been able to proof prices for the Back the Draw and Lay the Draw systems in this trial as verifying prices across all the different systems would be a major challenge with a huge number of selections, particular for the first half goals system which often has low liquidity so prices would need to be verified at kick-off time (with some matches kicking off late at night and early morning).

The prices we have been able to proof for the two systems match up pretty closely to the advised prices however, with some a little higher and some a little lower, but overall ending up with very similar results.

A promising start to this trial then, let’s hope it continues.

Betting Mastermind – New Review

26th September 2022

Today we are starting a new trial of a football betting service called Betting Mastermind.

This should not be confused with the Mike Cruickshank matched betting suite of the same name, which was released a couple of years ago and is completely separate. To differentiate the two we are referring to this service as Betting Mastermind (Football).

Anyway, Betting Mastermind (Football) is a group of football betting strategies, consisting of:

Back the draw
Lay the draw
Back the home win
Back the away win
Back over 0.5 first half goals

All five strategies are included within the monthly subscription price.

Stuart says he has “been working a developing loads of different strategies to not only create consistently logical and profitable betting systems centred around football, but also how I can diversify that betting so that at no point I have all my liquidity and bank at risk on a single market.”

The results to date look very impressive – almost too good to be true to be honest – with 1880 points profit supposedly made to date since 2019.

We very much hope those results are true as it would be great to find another profitable footy tipster with there being so few of them around.

In any event, there is only one way to find out and that is through a live trial so we look forward to kicking this one off (if you’ll excuse the pun) and see if they can reproduce the excellent profits reported on the website.

As usual results will be updated here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out Betting Mastermind (Football) for yourself here.
