First Class Racing – Results Update

Just a very slight gain for horse racing tipster First Class Racing recently, with one point profit made at advised prices since our last update. 

That means they are now 14 points up for our trial overall at advised prices. 

You can view full results here.

The Betfair SP results continue to track pretty closely with those at advised prices, withone point profit also made since our last update and 12 points profit made for our trial overall at BSP. 

As mentioned before, this service is the very definition of low volume with just a few bets per month normally. 

In terms of consistency you can’t complain though as a good profit has been made at both advised prices and BSP.

So if this approach is working for them it would be a risk to change it just to try and secure more betting volume.

So this service has proved to be pretty solid. As mentioned before it’s a slow burner but with a 55% strike rate there are a high proportion of winners.

The betting bank has now grown by 65% with the absolute minimum of worry or drawdowns. 

The low bet volume also means there’s a very low workload involved in following so overall there’s a lot to like about this service.

The Betfair SP results continue to track pretty closely with those at advised prices, with 2 points profit made since our last update and 8 points profit made for our trial overall at BSP. 

As mentioned last time this is a very low volume service, so really to make it worthwhile once subscription costs are taken into account you would need to stake at fairly decent levels – e.g. at least £100 or £200 per point.

The good news though is that the strike rate is high, with many selections being odds-on favourites so it’s possible to build a bank with this service. It’s also very easy to follow with so few bets.

There is being a low volume betting service and then there’s…only one bet in two months, which is what we’ve had with this service.

My old teacher used to say “patience is a virtue” and that’s certainly the case with First Class Racing!

At Betfair SP, there has been no change since our last update and they are still 2 points up for our trial overall at BSP. 

As mentioned in previous updates, this is very much a slow burner service with a low number of bets each month.

However, their spin-off service Second Class Racing – which is a laying service – has a lot more action with multiple bets per day normally and is going great guns. You can check out our review of it here.

First Class Racing – Results Update

30th September 2023

A slight move backwards for horse racing tipster First Class Racing over the last month, with a loss of 3 points made at advised prices since our last update. 

That means they are now level for our trial overall at advised prices. 

You can view full results here.

At Betfair SP, they have also lost 3 points since our last update and are 1 point down for our trial overall at BSP. 

To be honest we think this service is just too low volume to be viable for most people to follow. Only 3 bets over the last month is not really enough to get things moving forward. 

That is how the tipster operates but without upping the bet volume it’s difficult to see how they can produce enough profit to make it worthwhile to follow.

15th January 2023

It’s been a quiet start to our trial of horse racing tipster First Class Racing, with a profit of 2 points made to advised prices so far after six weeks.

You can view full results here.

At Betfair SP, they are also 2 points up so far. 

We were expecting this to be a low volume service but there have only been three bets so far, which is even less than expected.

However, partly this is down to the time of year when there just aren’t very many of the type of high class races the tipster Mel likes to go for. So we would expect bet volume to pick up a little from here.

The main thing though is that a profit has been made so far which is what matters most.

First Class Racing – New Review

28th November 2022

We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing tipster called First Class Racing.

If you have been following our blog recently you may have seen the live Q&A they hosted recently with the resident tipster at First Class Racing, Mel Gee.

It was a very interesting discussion where Mel went through his unique betting style and why it has proved so successful for him in recent years.

Essentially the approach revolves around backing favourites in top class racing – indeed Mel only backs in Class 1 races these days. 

It’s a case of finding situations where a quality horse has everything in its favour, and doesn’t have to worry about carrying extra weight as the races bet on are non-handicaps. 

The strategy appears to have worked very well, with Mel having doubled his members’ betting banks over the last 14 months. 

It is a very low volume service, with usually just a few bets per month. Mel likes to be very selective and only put up selections when, as we say, a horse has absolutely everything in its favour. 

Although some people like more regular betting action, the advantage of a low volume approach like this is it’s very easy to follow with minimal work involved. 

It also means we will need to run quite a long trial with this one to get a big enough sample size of bets. 

So we will kick things off today and will report back on how things are going here as usual. 

In the meantime you can check out First Class Racing for yourself here.

Top 10 Golf Tipsters in the World – Ranked!

Imagine hitting a hole in one not on the golf course but in your betting account!

In this Top 10 Golf Tipsters in the World guide we will help you do just that by showing you the best golf betting tipsters.

Golf betting has gone from a niche to a fun way for fans to enhance their golf experience.

Whether you’re a golf betting newbie or a seasoned pro, finding the right tipster could be the key to big wins.

They offer insights and strategies, from course and player knowledge to odds analysis and informed tips to help your golf betting.

At Honest Betting Reviews we have tested many golf tipsters and systems through in depth reviews and live trials to see if they work.

Many failed to deliver during testing but a few have shown impressive long term results.

These top tipsters are part of an exclusive group that have beaten the bookies and delivered big profits.

Here are the top 10 golf tipsters in the world in 2025!

 

Golf Betting – Big Wins Possible but Patience Required!

To make money from golf betting you need to be in it for the long haul, patient and have a big enough bankroll.

Unlike tennis or football, golf betting can have longer losing runs and drawdowns.

This is mainly due to the higher average odds in golf betting, as tipsters are placing bets at 20/1, 50/1 and 100/1+.

The strike rate is lower at these odds, but the thrill of a 100/1+ winner is unbeatable and makes the wait worth it.

If you use a good golf betting service (like the ones below) long term you will be well ahead of most punters.

So hit the links with these top golf tipsters you’ll be a golf betting hero in no time!

 

Top 10 Golf Tipsters

Without further delay, we present our list of the top ten best golf tipsters below.

The list is organized in descending order, with the most outstanding tipster featured last.

We hope you find this list valuable. If you believe we have missed anyone who deserves recognition, please let us know in the comments below.

 

10. Steve Palmer – The Bold Gambler in Search of a Jackpot Win

Steve Palmer is the current lead golf correspondent for the Racing Post, providing weekly tips for PGA and DP World Tour events. Before taking on this prominent role, Palmer worked alongside senior golf tipster Jeremy Chapman.

Palmer is known for his book, Born to Punt: Steve Palmer’s Betting Year, which details the journey of an average bettor striving for significant winnings. A central theme of the book is Palmer’s bold strategy of placing high-risk doubles on PGA and European tour winners, often at odds of thousands to one, in hopes of hitting a massive jackpot during major golf tournaments.

Palmer’s goal is to win big, at least £30,000 which would allow him to go full time.

He calls this the “face-spitter” a term for a big win that would allow him to quit his job, even if it means doing it in a slightly dramatic way of literally spitting in his boss’s face.

Published in 2011 Palmer’s book doesn’t show him having made such big wins to date. Like lottery winners, it’s all about getting the right bet at the right time.

The Racing Post don’t disclose their tipsters performance so it’s hard to judge Palmer’s long term record.

Available data shows he made over 100 points in 6 months in 2012 but more recent data is limited.

Based on Palmer’s own statements and reader feedback our verdict is he breaks even or makes small profits.

While that’s not bad it’s not good enough to put him in the top golf tipsters.

 

9. PGA Profit – The Algorithmic Golf Guru

Next up is PGA Profit, a highly rated service that has been consistent for over 4 years.

PGA Profit uses a complex algorithm created by a maths expert. This algorithm uses all the stats, including strokes gained tee to green and driving accuracy to produce a list of potential selections.

It then analyses course characteristics and player suitability to profile players who offer value for each event.

And then it adds in player details, their current form and all to develop a strategy for the golf betting markets.

But results are everything. And PGA Profit has them.

Here’s their yearly stats:

  • 2018: +274 points profit
  • 2019: +286 points profit
  • 2020: +208 points profit
  • 2021: +500 points profit
  • 2022: -91 point loss
  • 2023: -233 point loss
  • 2024: +222 points profit

The total profit since starting tipping adds up to over 1160 points profit a return on investment of just under 22%.

Some of their top winners include:

  • Mackenzie Hughes at the Sandersons Farms at 100/1
  • Max Homa at the Genesis Invitational at 66/1
  • Garrick Higgo at the Gran Canaria Open at 40/1
  • Abraham Ancer at the WGC Fedex at 45/1
  • Max Homa at the Fortinet Championship at 66/1

The tough results experienced in 2022 and 2023 detracted somewhat from the previous results which were excellent.

However, with a return to form in 2024 hopefully they are back on the right track. 

Despite the setbacks, their overall performance still places PGA Profit among the most profitable golf tipsters.

 

 

8. Golfbetsgold – The Analytical Betting Powerhouse

GolfBetsGold is a well established service with a good reputation and a following.

Martin Colwell is the man in charge, a qualified accountant and auditor who uses data and analysis. This has proven to be a winning formula for golf betting.

Picks are available for pre tournament and in play on the PGA and European Tours. During our nine month trial GolfBetsGold made 93 points.

Here are some of the winners from our trial:

  • Billy Horschel at the BMW PGA Championship, odds 28/1 – WON
  • Nacho Elvira at the Cazoo Open, odds 22/1 – WON
  • Garrick Higgo at the Palmetto Championship, odds 16/1 – WON (in-play)
  • Sam Horsfield as first-round leader at the Scandinavian Mixed, odds 28/1 – WON (dead heat)
  • John Catlin at the Austrian Open, odds 45/1 – WON
  • Rory McIlroy at the Wells Fargo, odds 20/1 – WON
  • Jon Rahm at the US Open, odds 10/1 – WON

The long-term results stack up very well too. Here are the yearly results for Golfbetsgold since 2018:

  • 2023: -6 points
  • 2022: -35 points
  • 2021: +143 points
  • 2020: +65 points
  • 2019: +123 points
  • 2018: +60 points
  • TOTAL: +350 points profit

So as you can see, a very nice total of 350 points profit made since starting out, although again the last couple of years have seen a downturn. 

GolfBetsGold offers a user-friendly service with just a handful of selections per week, demanding minimal effort from followers. Each tip is usually accompanied by comprehensive write-ups, offering clear and logical reasoning behind the selections. From our assessment, their rationale appears to be solid.

In summary, GolfBetsGold is a golf tipster that deserves your attention if you are looking for profitable golf tipsters.

 

 

7. +EV Golf Tips – The Value-Driven Betting Innovator

Next up is +EV Golf Tips (formerly Bookie Insiders Golf Tips) a service that has been performing well since it launched.

What sets this service apart is its use of an advanced algorithm that finds pricing errors in bookmakers models, it’s one of the best in the industry.

They provide weekly golf betting tips, so you get regular, structured tips and predictions for both majors and ongoing tours.

Firstly they focused on the top 20 market and +EV Golf Tips has made over 350 points profit since 2019.

This means a return on investment (ROI) of over 23%.

Recently they have added outright market tips so members have more betting options.

They provide selections at bookmakers odds and Betfair exchange odds so members who have been restricted in the top 20 market can still get involved. The Betfair exchange model has done well, over 800 points profit in 2020 and still going well in 2021.

Some of their best winners include:

  • Andrew Landry at the American Express – WON @ 460
  • Hudson Swafford at the Corales Puntacanes – WON @ 260
  • Stewart Cink at the Safeway Open – WON @ 230
  • Nick Taylor at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am – WON @ 180

The service also includes selections on the Korn Ferry Tour and Ladies tour events as well as the top 10 markets.

So whether you follow all the tips or focus on specific tours and markets there’s plenty to play with.

Throughout our review of +EV Golf Tips (or Bookie Insiders Golf Tips as it was known then) they delivered solid results, 150+ points profit on top 20 bets and 50+ points profit on Betfair outright bets.

So with an verified track record, +EV Golf Tips has proved itself as worthy of a place on this list.

 

6. Golf Betting Club – Brothers in Golf Betting Arms

The Golf Betting Club was founded by Scottish brothers Duncan and Neil and has its roots in their dad being a golf journalist which sparked their interest in tour predictions and golf betting.

With over 20 years of experience in the field the brothers launched the Golf Betting Club in March 2020 when professional golf was temporarily suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. Initially they offered free golf betting tips but these are now subscription only.

Using their years of betting expertise Duncan and Neil have created and refined over 100 detailed player profiles for the worlds top golfers.

This in depth approach gives them a big advantage and they update and enhance these profiles every year.

The Golf Betting Club have had some big winners with their tips. They offer tips for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) and the LIV Tour.

Here are some of their best winners:

  • Chris Kirk @ 40/1
  • Tom McKibbin @ 100/1
  • Jim Herman @ 300/1
  • Martin Laird @ 275/1
  • Brian Gay @ 100/1
  • Ockie Strydom @ 100/1
  • Daniel Gavins 110/1
  • Guido Migliozzi 80/1

Their overall record stands at 683 points profit made at a return on investment of 15%.

And the yearly totals are as follows:-

  • 2024: -70 pts (so far)
  • 2023: +150 pts
  • 2022: +8 pts
  • 2021: +229 pts
  • 2020: +366 pts

With a record that is highly commendable over the last five years, the Golf Betting Club is a deserved new entry to our list. 

N.B. – sign up to a 6 or 12 month membership of Golf Betting Club quoting ‘HonestBettingReviews25’ and they’ll refund £25 as a discount! 

 

5. The 20 Minute System – The Efficient Betting Tool

Not a traditional tipster, but The 20 Minute System has produced some great results.

Created by Mike Cruickshank a matched betting expert this is a software tool that scans both exchange and bookmaker markets.

It’s focused on finding each way bets in golf where the place part of the bet is better value than Betfair’s win and place odds.

Easy to use, takes about 20 minutes a week to find the bets (hence the name)

Results have been great, 519 points in the first 18 months and 302 points in our 9 month live trial.

Notable winners during our trial were Thriston Lawrence winning the Joburg Open at 200/1 and Luke List winning the Farmers Insurance Open at 80/1 and other winners at 45/1 and 33/1.

Bookmakers are offering great place terms these days, up to 10 or 11 places in majors and key tour events so each way betting is very valuable.

The 20 Minute System leverages this effectively, delivering valuable bets for its members.

 

4. Edwards Tips – The Snooker Star Turned Golf Betting Pro

Craig Edwards is a former professional snooker player who has made the transition to tipster with his Edwards Tips service.

Although the service covers both golf and snooker, the majority of the profits come from golf tips.

Since 2018 he has made 716 points profit from his golf tips.

That is 275 points from place betting tips (e.g. Top 20, Top 10) and 441 points from his outright tips.

His place betting tips have a 25% ROI and his outright tips 40%.

Some of the standout successes from his selections include:

  • Yuto Katsuragawa at the ISPS Handa @ 125/1
  • Hideki Matsuyama at the Genesis Invitational @ 80/1
  • Richard McEvoy at the European Masters @ 150/1
  • Tom Lewis at the Portugal Masters @ 66/1
  • Bubba Watson at the Travellers Championship @ 50/1
  • Mito Pereira at the Bogota Championship @ 125/1
  • Kevin Na at the Colonial @ 66/1
  • Christian Bezuidenhout at the Andalucia Masters @ 100/1

These show Craig’s ability to find value. His research and ability to find the market value is clear.

In our trial the service made 41 points profit. Craig uses conservative staking of around 0.1 average stakes so using a standard one point each way would have been 410 points profit, massive.

The volume of tips can be a lot. But you can follow just the outright tips or tip if the number of picks is too much.

Overall, Edwards Tips is a top-tier service with impressive long-term performance.

 

3. Sporting Life Golf (Ben Coley) – The Golf Punter’s Best Friend

The main golf tipster at The Sporting Life is Ben Coley, a man who has built a big reputation over the years with some incredible results so many golf punters love him.

Ben had a cracking 2020 with wins like Marc Warren at 150/1 in the Austrian Open, Sami Valimaki at 250/1 in the Oman Open and Cameron Smith at 50/1 in the Sony Open.

Ben wasn’t as good in 2019 but was profitable in the three years before that. Then he got even better in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Here are the numbers:

  • 2024: +255pts
  • 2023: +312pts
  • 2022: +585pts
  • 2021: +693pts
  • 2020: +364pts
  • 2019: -145pts
  • 2018: +51pts
  • 2017: +316pts
  • 2016: +191pts
  • TOTAL: +2621 pts

Throughout his career, Ben has secured several significant successes, including:

  • Russell Henley for the Honda Classic in 2014 at 300/1
  • Richie Ramsay for the Omega European Masters in 2012 at 100/1
  • Brett Rumford for the Ballantines Championship in 2013 at 80/1
  • Billy Horschel for the BMW Championship in 2014 at 70/1
  • Kyle Stanley for the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2012 at 66/1
  • Hunter Mahan for the Barclays in 2014 at 50/1

Big numbers indeed. But because of the demand for his tips (and they were free to start with) it’s almost impossible for most followers to get the advised prices.

So many will have to settle for lower odds than advised. This isn’t Ben’s fault, in some ways he’s a victim of his own success.

Before joining The Sporting Life’s tipping team Ben was a betting tips provider on Sports Live Radio and worked with one of the UK’s biggest bookmakers.

He’s clearly put the hours in to get to where he is. And with his tips free and proven he’s earned his title as one of the top.

 

2. Golf Forecast – The Data-Driven Success Machine

Our next contender, Golf Forecast, is different from traditional golf tipster services. Unlike other tipsters who use human analysis, Golf Forecast uses an algorithm to make its picks.

This algorithm uses Shotlink data which has stats on every player, their strengths and weaknesses. When the algorithm sees a player’s odds are under priced it picks that player to back.

Also the algorithm uses machine learning to update and refine itself with new data so it stays ahead of the market over time.

How to Select the Best Golf Tipsters

Choosing the best golf tipsters can be a minefield if you’re new to golf betting.

With so many tipsters out there, you need to know what to look for to make sure you’re following the most profitable and reliable tipsters.

Here are the key factors to consider when choosing the best golf tipsters:

  1. Profitability: The main reason for following a golf tipster is to make a profit. Look for tipsters with a proven track record of profit. Check their past results and make sure they have a consistent record of winning. A tipster who has made money for several years is more likely to keep doing so.
  2. Experience: Experience counts in golf betting. A tipster with years of experience in the industry will have a better understanding of the game, the players and the betting markets. Experienced tipsters have developed their strategies over time and are better equipped to navigate the complexities of golf betting.
  3. Transparency: Transparency is key when choosing a tipster. Go for tipsters who are open about their betting strategy, odds and results. This transparency allows you to see their thought process and make an informed decision on whether to follow their tips. Avoid tipsters who are vague or secretive about their methods.
  4. Reviews and Ratings: Online reviews and ratings from other punters can give you an idea of a tipster’s performance and reliability. Look for tipsters with good feedback and high ratings. Reading reviews will help you see what other bettors have experienced and if a tipster is worth following.
  5. Cost: Consider the cost of the tipster’s service. Paying for a premium service will eat into your profit but if the tipster delivers then it may be worth it. Weigh up the cost against the returns to see if it’s worth the investment. Some tipsters offer free tips which can be a good starting point for beginners.

So now you can choose. grátis or paid. 😊 🏌️👍

 

Golf Betting Strategy and Management

A good golf betting strategy is more than just following the best tipsters. You need to know golf betting markets, odds and risk management.

Here are some to consider:

  1. Bankroll Management: One of the most important parts of betting is bankroll management. Set a budget for your golf betting and stick to it. This will stop you losing big and allow you to keep betting long term. Divide your bankroll into smaller units and bet the same percentage on each bet to manage risk.
  2. Odds Shopping: To make the most profit, always shop around for odds. Different bookmakers will have different odds for the same event so shopping around will get you the best value for your bets. Use odds comparison sites to find the best prices quick.
  3. Hedging: Hedging is placing additional bets to limit losses or lock in profits. For example if you have a bet on a player to win a tournament and they are leading going into the final round you could bet on another player to cover your stake. This will help you manage risk and secure profits.
  4. Staking Plan: Create a staking plan so you’re betting consistently and managing risk. A level staking plan is where you bet the same amount on each selection. A percentage staking plan is where you bet a fixed percentage of your bankroll on each bet. Choose one that suits your risk tolerance and stick to it.
  5. Golf Betting Markets: Knowing the golf betting markets is key to making informed bets. Common markets are outright winner, top 10, top 20 and head-to-head. Each market has its own dynamics and profit potential. Get to know these markets and choose the ones that fit your betting strategy.

By implementing these strategies, you can enhance your golf betting experience and increase your chances of success.

 

Golf Betting Tools and Resources

Golf betting tools and resources can help you make informed decisions and improve your betting experience. Here are some essential tools and resources to consider:

  1. Golf Betting Predictor Models: Utilise golf betting predictor models to analyse data and make informed decisions. These models can help you identify trends and patterns in the data, giving you a competitive edge. Predictor models use statistical analysis to forecast player performance and identify value bets.

Who Is the Best Greyhound Tipster in 2025? What You Need to Know

The world of greyhound racing is fast-paced, exhilarating, and brimming with opportunities—not just for the dogs but also for sharp bettors.

If you’re eager to turn that thrill into profit, finding a reliable greyhound tipster is crucial. With countless options available, knowing where to begin can be challenging. That’s where we come in.

We’ve done the hard work, delving into the industry to identify the top greyhound tipsters.

From seasoned professionals with a solid track record to emerging talents making a name for themselves, we’ve compiled all the information you need to choose wisely.

Let’s dive in and explore the leading greyhound tipsters who can help you place smarter bets.

 

What Makes a Good Greyhound Tipster?

Before we reveal our top picks, it’s important to understand what sets a great greyhound tipster apart from the rest.

At its essence, greyhound tipping revolves around predicting race outcomes—and doing so consistently. However, it’s not just about picking winners.

An exceptional greyhound tipster possesses a deep understanding of the sport. This includes expertise in different tracks, the impact of weather conditions on races, and detailed knowledge of the dogs themselves.

Yet, even expertise isn’t enough. A great tipster must back it up with a proven track record—demonstrating consistent success and delivering profitable tips over time.

Equally important is transparency. The best tipsters are honest about their wins and losses, providing tips supported by clear reasoning and analysis. This openness builds trust and ensures you’re receiving advice that’s both reliable and credible.

 

Key Points About Betting on Greyhounds

Before we delve into our list of top greyhound tipsters, it’s worth noting a few key points about betting on greyhounds, which differs in several ways from betting on horse racing:

    • Smaller Fields: Greyhound races typically involve up to six runners, resulting in lower odds compared to horse racing, where fields are often much larger. However, the smaller field size simplifies race analysis and makes it easier to identify potential winners.
    • Limited Liquidity: Greyhound racing generally has less liquidity than horse racing, especially earlier in the day. Even a modest increase in betting interest for a specific dog can cause significant odds movement. To manage this, it’s wise to maintain accounts with multiple bookmakers to distribute your bets effectively.
    • Using Betfair: For those without access to several bookmaker accounts, Betfair is a solid alternative. However, it’s important to note that liquidity on Betfair is usually low until close to race time, making early bets more challenging. While betting with Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) offered by many bookmakers often provides better long-term value, Betfair remains a practical option for many bettors.

 

Best Greyhound Tipsters

Let’s dive into the main event. After thorough research and testing, we’ve compiled our top five greyhound tipsters.

We’ve ranked them in descending order, building up to the very best—so stick around for our number one pick!

If you think we’ve missed any tipsters who deserve a spot on this list, feel free to share your recommendations in the comments below. Your input is always appreciated!

 

5. Sporting Life Greyhound Tips

Commencing our list is the Sporting Life’s Greyhound Tips.

The Sporting Life is a well-known name in the betting industry, offering tips across a wide range of sports, including greyhound racing.

Their greyhound tipster delivers a daily best bet, next best, and treble selection, accompanied by detailed analysis and a comprehensive list of predictions.

While Sporting Life enjoys a strong overall reputation, they don’t offer a specific breakdown of their greyhound betting results.

For this reason, we suggest keeping a close eye on their performance and tracking their tips over time before fully committing to their selections.

 

4. The Greyhound Punter

A rising star in the greyhound racing scene, The Greyhound Punter has gained rapid recognition since launching on Twitter in early 2020.

They manage two Telegram groups—one focused on Sportsbook betting and the other on Betfair SP. So far, the Sportsbook group has achieved an impressive 175 points in profit, while the Betfair SP group has added 70 points to its tally.

Although it’s still early days for The Greyhound Punter, their results show great promise. We’ll be watching this service closely, as it has the potential to become a top-tier tipster in the future.

 

3. Mad Dog Man Tips

Mad Dog Man Tips may be a relatively new name in the greyhound tipping scene, but they’ve already established an impressive track record.

Operating exclusively on Twitter, they’ve attracted a loyal following by delivering 322 points in profit in 2024, with a remarkable lifetime ROI of 33%.

Subscribers receive tips through the Telegram messenger app, and there’s even a dedicated subscription option for Betfair exchange users—ideal for those facing bookmaker restrictions.

With an average monthly profit of £297, Mad Dog Man Tips is rapidly emerging as a notable player in the greyhound betting world.

 

2. Greyhound Maestro

Next on the list is Greyhound Maestro, who has been turning heads since joining the Bet Hub tipster platform in 2018.

As a professional gambler with a deep passion for greyhounds, he often shares his expert insights during live TV racing events.

The numbers back up his expertise: over 1,200 points in profit—equating to £10,000 from £10-per-point stakes—with a 21% ROI and a strike rate just shy of 30%.

In our live trial conducted during 2019-2020, his tips delivered 73 points in profit and a solid 17% ROI, proving his consistency.

With results like these, it’s no surprise that Greyhound Maestro secures a well-deserved second place on our list.

 

 1. Premier Greyhound Tips

Over the years, this tipster has amassed over £13,800 in profits from £10-per-point stakes, maintaining a solid 13% ROI and an impressive 27% strike rate.

Out of 70 months, 52 have been profitable—a testament to their consistency and reliability.

Their tips are straightforward to follow, typically provided in the morning (UK time) and consisting of 1 to 2 bets per day. If you’d started with a £5,000 bankroll, your profits could now exceed £50,000.

We first reviewed Premier Greyhound Tips in 2015-16 and have continued to track their progress, ultimately awarding them a PASSED rating for sustained excellence.

For anyone seeking a greyhound tipster with a proven track record and unmatched results, Premier Greyhound Tips is, without doubt, the best in the business.

 

Greyhound Racing Lingo

Before you start betting get to know some greyhound racing terminology:

  • Trap: The starting box from which the dogs are released.
  • Handicap: A race where dogs carry different weights based on their form.
  • Derby: A big greyhound racing event.
  • Sprint: A short race under 400m

Knowing these will help you understand the races better and make more informed bets.

 

Conclusion – Finding the Right Greyhound Tipster

We have previously looked at the best horse racing and football tipsters, so thought we’d have a look at the best greyhound tipsters.

Greyhound racing is a smaller betting market than horse racing but that’s what makes it so good. With less people focused on it there are big opportunities to be made if you know where to look.

There aren’t as many greyhound tipsters as there are in other sports but the ones that do exist are good. We’ve listed our top 5 but if we’ve missed any others let us know!

And as always bet responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.

Best Tennis Tipsters for Winning Bets in 2025

Tennis is a global sport with millions of fans watching every week.

For many the thrill is increased by the chance to win big through betting on matches especially with the best tennis tips from top tipsters.

To win at tennis betting you need the right tips and guidance. That’s where tipsters come in; they are experts who study match-ups and predict the outcome.

But with so many tipsters out there how do you find the good ones?

Well, we are here to help. We have done the research and live testing on our site to find the best tennis tipsters.

While there may not be as many tennis tipsters as football or horse racing, in this case it’s quality over quantity.

With so much information online and on TV, tipsters have all the tools they need to make accurate predictions.

In this article we will show you the 5 best tennis tipsters based on our extensive research and testing.

Whether you are a seasoned punter or new to tennis betting join us as we look into the world of top tennis tipsters!

 

What are tipsters and why do they matter?

Tipsters are experts who study and predict the outcome of sports events.

In tennis betting tipsters focus on providing tips and forecasts for upcoming matches and tournaments.

They use various methods and strategies to produce their tennis tips such as player performance, match history, head-to-head records and surface specialisation to deliver predictions.

Tipsters are important because their ability to make profits over time is the measure of success and makes them valuable to have on your side. 

They also save you time and effort by doing the form study and match analysis so you can use their expertise without having to do the research yourself.

 

What to Look For When Evaluating a Tennis Tipster

When evaluating a tennis tipster you should look at:

  • Strike Rate: This measures the percentage of winning bets a tipster has made and gives you an idea of the accuracy of their tips. For tennis tipsters the strike rate is usually between 40-60%. This will help you know how often you will win and guide you on how much to stake per bet.
  • Return on Investment (ROI): ROI measures a tipster’s profit by showing the profit per 100 units staked. For example an ROI of 30% means a £30 profit for every £100 staked. In tennis betting an ROI of 5% is good and above 10% long term is excellent.
  • Bank Growth: This shows the increase in your bank over a period of time. For example, if a £1,000 bank grows by 50% in a year it will be £1,500. Bank growth shows a tipster’s performance over a certain period of time and how much your bank could grow.
  • Longevity: This measures a tipster’s performance over a long period of time. Consistency over time shows a tipster’s expertise and ability to beat the bookmakers. Some tipsters may produce results in the short-term but only a few can make profits year in year out.

By looking at these metrics you will get a full picture of a tennis tipster’s record, which can help you decide if they are reliable and worth following.

How to Win with Tennis Betting Tips

Winning with tennis betting tips requires a combination of understanding the tips, managing your bankroll and making informed decisions.

Here are the key steps to win with tennis betting tips:

  1. Understand the Tip: Before you place a bet make sure you understand the tip. Look for detailed analysis and explanation from the tipster including recommended odds and stake size so you can make an informed decision. This will give you confidence in the bet and to help stick to the tipster’s staking plan.
  2. Manage Your Bankroll: Set a budget for your tennis betting and stick to it. Don’t chase losses or bet more than you can afford to lose. Consider using a staking plan to manage your bets and minimise risk. A common approach is to bet a fixed percentage of your bankroll (e.g. 1-2%) on each tip which will protect your bank in the long run.
  3. Diversify Your Bets: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your bets across different markets and tournaments to minimise risk and maximise returns. For example you can bet on match winners, set winners and handicap markets across different ATP and WTA events.
  4. Stay Current: Keep up to date with the latest news and happenings in the tennis world. This will help you make more informed decisions and be ahead of the game. Follow player injuries, form and other factors that can affect the match.
  5. Use Multiple Tipsters: Use multiple tipsters to get different opinions and perspectives. This will help you make more informed decisions and increase your chances of winning. By comparing tips from different sources you can see what they have in common and make a more confident bet.
  6. Monitor Your Results: Track your progress and adjust as you go. Use a betting journal to log your bets and review your performance. This will help you see which tipsters and strategies are profitable and make changes.

By following these guidelines you will have a better chance of succeeding with your tennis betting.

Remember, successful tennis betting is based on informed decisions, disciplined bankroll management and continuous learning.

Set a budget for your betting and stick to it. This budget should be an amount you’re happy to lose as there’s no guarantees in betting.

Allocate a specific amount of your bankroll to each bet so you don’t blow your funds too quickly.

2. Bet Proportionally

Don’t bet big on one tip. Bet proportionally where the size of each bet is a percentage of your total bankroll.

For example you might bet 1-5% of your bankroll on each tip. This will manage risk and prevent big losses from one bad bet.

3. Track Your Results

Keep a record of all your bets, including the tipster, the type of bet, the stake and the outcome.

Review these records regularly to see which tipsters are offering the best value and to see patterns in your betting. This data will help you make better decisions in the future.

4. Know the Tipster’s Strategy and Metrics

Before following any tipster make sure you know their betting strategy and how they come up with their predictions.

Some tipsters will focus on high-risk, high-reward bets while others will go for a more conservative approach which will get more winners. Match your betting style with the tipster’s methodology so it suits your risk tolerance.

5. Manage Your Expectations

Be realistic about the returns and understand even the best tipsters will have losing runs.

Don’t chase losses by betting bigger to recover previous losses – this will lead to bigger financial losses.

6. Use Betting Exchanges and Odds Comparison Sites

Make sure you’re getting the best value from your bets by using betting exchanges and odds comparison sites.

Betting exchanges like Betfair allow you to bet against other bettors rather than traditional bookmakers and often get better odds.

Odds comparison sites aggregate odds from multiple bookmakers so you can find the best prices for your bets. Check these sites regularly so you’re always betting at the best odds.

7. Think Long Term

Betting success should be judged over the long term not short term. While it’s easy to get caught up in immediate results, long term profitability requires patience and a strategy.

Don’t get swayed by one winning or losing streak and instead look at the tipster’s performance over several months or even years.

By looking at the bigger picture you can manage your bankroll and make decisions that will support long term success in tennis betting.

8. Bet Responsibly

Always gamble responsibly and don’t let betting interfere with other areas of your life. Set limits on your betting and seek help if you find yourself struggling to control your gambling.

By following these risk management tips you can protect your bankroll, you will make better betting decisions and enjoy your tennis betting more.

Building a Profitable Sports Betting Strategy with Expert Tipster Advice

When it comes to making a profit from sports betting, having expert tipster advice can be a big help.

Tipsters – those who spend their time studying sports and providing betting advice – are part of the betting landscape.

But success in sports betting isn’t just about following tipster tips.

It’s about having a solid strategy, good bankroll management and most importantly knowing how to use tipster advice wisely.

Tipsters in Sports Betting

Tipsters play a pivotal role in shaping successful sports betting strategies, offering insights and recommendations that can help bettors make more informed decisions.

Let’s take a closer look at what tipsters do and how they operate in the betting world.

What Are Tipsters and How Do They Work?

Sports tipsters are individuals who provide predictions or betting tips on sports events, usually backed by research, statistics or a combination of experience and betting nous.

They work in two ways: providing free or paid tips to their followers.

Tipsters aim to find value bets – bets where the odds offered by bookmakers are higher than the actual probability of the outcome – so bettors can make informed decisions.

Tipsters usually specialise in a particular sport or league, using their expertise to narrow down the field and increase accuracy.

Some even focus on specific markets, such as in-play or over/under bets, to increase their winning chances.

Free vs Paid Tipster Services

One of the first decisions bettors face is whether to use free or paid tipster services.

Free tipsters, often found on social media or betting forums but also on dedicated websites and in newspapers, can be useful but sometimes lack the quality of paid services.

Paid tipster subscription services by no means guarantee success, but if you find the right one then they can be well worth paying for.  

Whether going for a free or paid tipster, the key is to scrutinise the tipster’s track record and be sure they are up to scratch. 

How Tipsters Analyse Games and Provide Tips

Tipsters use various methods to analyse sports events including statistical analysis, team or player form, injury reports, head-to-head data and betting market trends.

Many use advanced sports prediction analysis tools to crunch the numbers and find patterns that casual bettors miss.

The best sports tipsters continually refine their methods, adapting to market changes and staying up to date with new data.

Tipster Reputation and Track Record

A tipster’s reputation and track record are key indicators of their reliability.

Consistency over time is a big factor; anyone can have a winning run but true professional tipsters are those who show long term profitability.

Bettors should look for transparency from a tipster, check their P&L records are verified by an independent site like this one.

When evaluating tipster accuracy rates, you should consider their win rate and the average odds they recommend, as well as their ROI (return on investment).

A tipster with a lower win rate but higher odds can still be profitable in the long run if they find value in their tips.

Key to Profitable Sports Betting

To develop a successful sports betting strategy, it’s essential to focus on several key components that work together to boost long-term profitability.

One of the most important starting points is setting clear and achievable goals while managing your expectations.

Setting Realistic Goals and Expectations

No matter how good a tipster or strategy is, betting is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

Setting realistic goals and managing expectations is key to long term success.

Most profitable betting strategies aim for gradual growth rather than one big win.

Bankroll Management for Long Term Success

Bankroll management is the foundation of any profitable betting strategy.

This means setting aside a dedicated amount of money for betting and only staking a small percentage of that bankroll on any one bet.

A common approach is to use a sports betting bankroll calculator to work out your optimal stakes based on your total bankroll and the odds of the event.

Good bankroll management also helps bettors manage risk and avoid chasing losses – a common trap in sports betting.

Odds and Probability in Sports Betting

Odds and probability are closely related and understanding this is key for any bettor.

Odds reflect the bookmaker’s opinion of the likelihood of an event happening but they include a margin (known as the overround) to ensure the bookmaker makes a profit.

By understanding how to read betting odds analysis you can find value and exploit the market.

The Benefits of Specialising in a Sport or League

Specialising in a sport or league allows bettors to get to know the teams, players and conditions that affect the outcome.

By focusing on specific areas you can develop expertise that gives you an edge over generalists and even the bookmakers themselves.

Many expert tipsters specialise in certain leagues or sports and produce more accurate tips as a result.

Using Tipster Tips to Improve Your Betting

Choosing reliable tipsters can be tough but there are key tipster selection criteria to consider.

Look for tipsters with a transparent record, clear staking advice and consistent performance over time.

Check their win rate and ROI (return on investment) and compare to your own betting goals.

Understanding Tipster Strategies 

Following tipster tips can be profitable but you can also use their advice and reasoning to improve your own betting. 

Many sports tipsters provide detailed reasoning behind their tips, which gives you a window into their strategy and how they go about finding value. 

Understanding the process and approach of a profitable tipster can help you improve your own betting strategy. 

For example, you might see that a tennis tipster finds value on certain underdog players by evaluating their head-to-head records against other players on specific surfaces.

You could then use the same process to identify undervalued players yourself.

Or understanding a tipster’s approach might be an inspiration, or starting point, to developing your own strategies. 

However, you have to be sure that any strategies you develop will be profitable long-term so it is best to test them out first through paper trading before risking real money. 

Creating a System to Monitor Tipster Performance

Monitoring tipster performance is key to making sure their tips remain profitable over time.

Betting performance tracking tools can help you log bets, analyse results and evaluate a tipster’s performance.

This also allows you to monitor your own progress and adjust your strategy as needed.

Combining Multiple Tipster Tips with Your Own Analysis

Sometimes bettors follow multiple tipsters to diversify their betting portfolio.

Whilst this can be a good idea as it can help to balance out the performance of different tipsters – much like a portfolio approach in the stock market – it does come with risk. 

If you do this you need to ensure you have a sufficient betting bank to cover following multiple tipsters, as if they hit a losing run at the same time it can become very damaging. 

We have seen many betting banks wiped out through following multiple tipsters at the same time without having enough funds to do so. 

Our advice is to have a separate betting bank for each tipster and for each of those betting banks to be sufficient in its own right. 

For example, if you were following five tipsters and each one recommends a 100 point bank, make sure you have five 100 point banks, or a 500 point bank in total. 

  • That could mean having a $5,000 total bank, split into $1,000 for each tipster and betting $10 per point on each bet; or
  • Having a $1,000 total bank, split into $200 for each tipster and betting $2 per point on each bet.  

Whatever the exact amount you use, the key is to ensure you are allocating sufficient funds to each tipster and do not risk busting your bank.  

Common Mistakes When Using Sports Betting Tipsters

While tipster advice can significantly enhance your betting strategy, there are some common mistakes bettors make that can undermine their success.

Adopting a Short-Term Mindset

Probably the biggest mistake we see when people follow tipsters is adopting a short-term mindset. 

People often just look at results from the last month, week or even few days when judging the tipster’s performance. 

“He hasn’t had a winner in a week” or “he’s 30 points down this month” are the type of complaints made. 

Punters then abandon the tipster and jump onto the next one. 

Whilst looking at the latest form – often referred to as “recency bias” – is a natural human tendency, it can be very detrimental when following tipsters. 

Betting is highly unpredictable and no tipster, no matter how good they are, is going to win all the time. 

We’ve seen even the very best sports tipsters – those who have made over 1,000 points profit in their careers – go through periods where they have struggled for an extended period.

Performance needs to be judged over much longer timeframes than a few weeks or months to get an accurate picture of how good a tipster is – at least a year, but really a number of years in truth.

That allows the short-term ups-and-downs to be balanced out and a full picture of a tipster’s skill to be seen. 

Sadly a lot of punters fall victim to recency bias and jump about from tipster to tipster as soon as one hits a losing run. 

That approach will only lead to heavy losses though as they are never allowing tipsters the chance to recover and to enjoy the long-term profits that the best tipsters can deliver.  

Although it can be hard at times, try to resist the temptation to focus too much on the results of the last few tips a tipster has given out and always remember it’s the long-term picture that matters. 

Chasing Losses and Ignoring Bankroll Management

One of the biggest mistakes bettors make is chasing losses which can drain a bankroll quickly.

Stick to your bankroll management plan and never increase your stakes to recover losses.

Falling for Scams and Unrealistic Promises from Unverified Tipsters

Tipster scam prevention is key. Be wary of unverified tipsters making guaranteed profit promises.

Stick to verified services with a proven history.

Not Keeping Track of Results

It’s important to track the results of any tipsters you are following. Not just the official results – but the actual results you have achieved.

Some tipsters may have impressive official results but if it’s tough to achieve their advised prices then you might actually be making a loss whilst the tipster’s headline numbers show a profit. 

If you aren’t able to achieve the advised prices, it is worth looking at whether this is because the prices just crash too quickly – or whether it’s because you aren’t able to get the bets on in reasonable time after they are sent out for whatever reason. 

It could be that the time a certain tipster sends out their tips isn’t suitable for you and switching to another tipster who sends their tips at a time when you can get the bets on is a better option.  

Tools and Resources to Help You Implement Your Sports Betting Strategy

To effectively implement your sports betting strategy and maximize profits, it’s essential to have the right tools and resources at your disposal.

Odds Comparison Sites and Betting Exchanges

Using odds comparison websites like Oddschecker.com will help you find the best odds for your bets. 

This is normally crucial in ensuring you are getting the most out of following a tipster and can be the difference between making a profit and a loss. 

Margins in betting tend to be very small so squeezing out every last ounce you can is vital. 

It is also advisable to make the most of betting exchanges like Betfair.

Most tipsters are more profitable to follow at the bookies than the exchanges, but not always. There are some who are more profitable at Betfair so it is worth comparing the two. 

With our horse racing reviews for example we always record results at both advised prices and Betfair SP, so you can see which option is better.  

Online Communities and Forums to Share Strategies and Tipster Reviews

Online sports betting forums and communities are a great place to share strategies and tipster reviews.

Chat with other bettors to get new ideas and refine your approach.

Books and Courses to Learn Sports Betting Mathematics

If you want to improve your betting strategy, consider investing in books and courses on sports betting mathematics and betting risk management.

These will give you a deeper understanding of the odds and probabilities behind a winning strategy.

Conclusion – Using Tipsters to Build a Profitable Sports Betting Strategy

Using the advice of tipsters can be a great way to build a profitable sports betting strategy. 

By choosing good tipsters, combining their advice with your own research and using all the tools at your disposal you will be well ahead of most punters. 

But you must be realistic, disciplined with your bankroll and not rely on tipsters to win all the time. 

Betting is a long game and adopting a long-term approach is the key to staying ahead.

With the right tools, resources and a good approach you can turn tipster advice into a powerful part of your sports betting strategy that delivers over time.

Remember, patience, persistence and continuous learning is the foundation of any successful betting journey.

Easy Bets to Win Money: Profitable Betting Without the Effort

The notion of effortlessly placing bets to earn money is certainly appealing. Imagine if you could simply select a few bets with minimal effort, spend only a few minutes making them, and then return later to collect your earnings.

Unfortunately, it’s rarely that straightforward. Without a solid strategy and thoughtful preparation, these quick bets are unlikely to be profitable in the long term. In fact, they can often lead to significant losses.

Nevertheless, with the right resources, a well-defined approach, and some self-discipline, it’s possible to profit from simple bets without investing a lot of time and effort.

We’ll explore how this can be achieved below, but first, let’s discuss the types of “easy bets” you should concentrate on.

 

Easy Sports Bets to Focus On

Before diving into specific strategies, it’s important to first consider the types of bets you should prioritise.

To enhance your chances of success, it’s generally wise to concentrate on single bets rather than multiples (also known as accumulators).

Multiples are often less favorable because they shift the odds in favor of the bookmaker.

Each additional leg in an accumulator bet increases the bookmaker’s advantage over you, compounding their edge with every added selection.

Moreover, unless a single bookmaker offers the best odds for all the selections in your accumulator, you’re likely to encounter poorer odds compared to placing each bet individually.

In summary, multiples tend to be a bad option, which is why bookmakers heavily promote various bonuses and special offers to encourage bettors to place accumulator bets!

Most professional gamblers stick to single bets for this reason, as it’s not only a more prudent strategy but also simpler to execute.

So, it turns out that the easiest bets to place—single bets—are also the most strategic to focus on.

 

Focusing on a High Strike-Rate Betting Strategy

If you’re aiming for straightforward bets that win often and provide consistent returns, you should focus on high strike-rate bets.

These are typically bets that yield a return at least 50% of the time, or as close to that as you can get.

In football, such bets might include markets like over 1.5 goals, double chance, or match odds when there’s a clear favorite. 

Other types of football bets that do not depend on the final score can be worth considering, especially in markets like Both Teams to Score (BTTS) in matches with high-scoring teams. The main requirement is that both teams score, regardless of the match’s final score.

By focusing on high strike-rate bets, you’ll likely build your bankroll more rapidly than if you were chasing long shots.

This approach generally leads to shorter losing streaks and allows for more frequent winning streaks, which helps grow your bankroll quickly.

Additionally, you’ll require a smaller initial betting bank, making money management easier. Long losing runs can be disheartening, affecting both your confidence and motivation.

Moreover, contrary to popular belief, lower odds often offer better value than higher ones.

This phenomenon, known as the favorite-longshot bias, has been supported by various studies.

Essentially, the higher the odds, the poorer the value.

While betting on a 50/1 or 100/1 long shot might seem exciting and impressive, these bets are rarely profitable over time.

Only a small number of highly skilled professionals consistently succeed with such bets.

For the best chance of achieving positive returns with minimal effort, it’s advisable to stick with shorter-odds, high strike-rate selections.

 

How to Find Easy Bets…That Win!

Now that we’ve identified the types of bets that offer the best chance of being profitable, finding the specific bets to place can still be quite challenging and time-consuming.

It often requires spending hours analysing form, creating statistical databases, staying updated on team news for specific football matches, and seeking any potential edge over other bettors. 

With today’s busy schedules, many people simply don’t have the time to dedicate to all this additional research.

Fortunately, there are tools and resources available that can simplify this process and significantly reduce the amount of work involved.

After all, the goal is to find easy bets that don’t require extensive effort!

 

Follow a Professional

If you’re looking for easy bets that can earn you money, one effective approach is to rely on professional tipsters.

These experts handle all the laborious tasks—such as analysing form, watching races or matches, and staying updated with the latest news—so you don’t have to.

But how do you find a reliable professional to follow?

At Honest Betting Reviews, we’ve evaluated hundreds of professional tipsters over the past seven years.

Through our extensive reviews, we’ve identified several top-performing tipsters who consistently deliver profit.

Here are a few notable ones:

  • The Outside Edge: This horse racing tipster has achieved over 600 points in profit since 2019, translating to more than £15,000 profit at £25 per point stakes, with a solid 30% strike rate. Read our review here.
  • The Inside Man: A top-tier football betting service run by a former bookmaker. This tipster has made over 150 points in profit, equating to over £7,500 at £50 per point stakes, focusing on major European leagues and international competitions. Check out our full review here.
  • Loves Racing: A horse racing specialist from a family of bookmakers, with a proven track record of over 800 points in profit, or over £16,000 at £20 per point stakes. This tipster excels in large-field handicaps and major racing festivals like Cheltenham and Royal Ascot. See our review here.

You can explore our comprehensive lists of top recommended horse racing and football tipsters here and here.

By following one of these experts, you benefit from their extensive research and analysis.

Your task becomes much simpler—just place the bets they recommend and enjoy the potential returns!

 

Try a Matched Betting Strategy

Another effective method for securing easy bets is matched betting.

If you’re not familiar with the concept, matched betting involves leveraging bookmakers’ free bets and bonuses to place bets with minimal risk.

Matched betting is a popular strategy in sports betting, allowing bettors to take advantage of bookie offers with minimal risk and offers another straightforward way to profit from betting.

Essentially, it involves using bookmakers’ free bets and promotions to place risk-free or low-risk bets by balancing them with bets on betting exchanges like Betfair and Smarkets.

While it may seem complex at first, it becomes quite simple once you become familiar with the process and complete a few matched bets.

Programs like Profit Maximiser make matched betting easier by providing step-by-step guidance, video tutorials, email support, and access to a Facebook group with over 50,000 members who can answer your questions.

Profit Maximiser also aggregates all the bookmakers’ offers daily—since there are usually dozens of them each week, this saves you the hassle of finding them yourself.

During our trial of Profit Maximiser, we earned a substantial £2,469 in just three months from following their matched betting advice. 

While some individuals have made a full-time income from matched betting, it’s currently more feasible as a supplementary source of income due to the decreasing generosity of bookmakers.

Nonetheless, matched betting remains one of the simplest and lowest-risk methods to earn money through betting. Once you’re proficient, you can repeat the process for consistent, small profits.

It’s important to note that matched betting may not be feasible in every country, as it depends on local regulations concerning free bets.

It works best in the UK and Ireland where such promotions are common. In other regions, it’s advisable to check local rules to determine if matched betting is viable.

 

Arbitrage Betting: A Quick Profit but with Potential Downsides

Arbitrage betting is a way for smart bettors to lock in a profit by exploiting odds differences between bookmakers.

The principle is simple: by covering all outcomes of an event with carefully placed bets across multiple bookmakers (or exchanges), you win no matter what.

This makes arbing an attractive option for those looking for consistent, low risk profits.

Example of an Arbitrage Bet

Imagine a tennis match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Bookmaker X has Sinner at 2.10 and Bookmaker Y has Alcaraz at 2.10.

You could bet on Sinner with Bookmaker X and Alcaraz with Bookmaker Y and win a small profit no matter what.

For example, if you bet £100 on Sinner with Bookmaker X and £100 on Alcaraz with Bookmaker Y, here’s what happens:

  • If Sinner wins, you get £210 from Bookmaker X and make a £10 profit after your £200 outlay.
  • If Alcaraz wins, you get £210 from Bookmaker Y and again make a £10 profit.

While the profit is small, arbing can add up over time.

The Drawbacks of Arbitrage Betting

Arbitrage betting works in the short term but comes with a big caveat: bookmakers are quick to spot patterns associated with arbing.

When they identify users who are arbing, they often restrict those accounts, limiting bet sizes or even closing the account.

Bookmakers want to maintain an edge over the bettor and see arbing as a threat to their profit.

In reality many arbers find that keeping unrestricted accounts is a challenge. If you want to try arbing, be cautious and spread your bets across multiple books.

It’s a great tool to make money in the short term but may not be a long term solution to win easy bets.

 

Football Betting Strategies for Success

To succeed in football betting, it’s essential to have a solid strategy in place.

One effective approach is to specialise in a single league or country, allowing you to develop a deeper understanding of the teams, players, and coaches.

This specialisation can help you identify patterns and trends that may not be immediately apparent to others.

Another key strategy is to focus on value bets, which offer a higher probability of winning than the odds suggest.

Equally, understanding the psychological dynamics of a football match can provide additional insights that are not available purely from analysing the data, while betting strategies like ‘Double Chance’ and ‘Draw No Bet’ provide a form of risk management in football betting.

Additionally, focusing on Over/Under markets in football matches can help identify easy bets by evaluating the likelihood of goals being scored and finding bookmakers offering competitive odds.

By combining these strategies with a solid understanding of the game and its probabilities, punters can significantly increase their chances of success in football betting.

 

Understanding Easy Bets in Football

Easy bets in football betting are wagers that have a higher chance of winning and lower risk.

These bets are not about beating the system but rather about making informed decisions based on the probabilities of the game.

For instance, easy bets can be identified by looking for situations where one team is significantly better than the other, such as a strong home field advantage or superior talent.

Betting on the favourite can yield better returns than backing underdogs, something that as mentioned above, is known as the favourite-longshot bias.  

This approach allows bettors to leverage their knowledge of football games to make smarter, more profitable bets.

Additionally, the double chance market is a betting option that allows punters to bet on two of the three potential outcomes of a match, effectively increasing their chances of winning from 33.3% to 66.6%.

 

Managing Risk and Maximising Returns

Managing risk is crucial in football betting and in other sports, as it can help punters avoid significant losses and maximise their returns.

One effective way to manage risk is to use a double chance bet, which allows punters to bet on two possible outcomes of a game.

This can reduce the risk of loss and increase the chances of winning, although the odds will be lower to reflect this increased chance of winning. 

Another approach is to focus on value bets, which offer a higher probability of winning than the odds suggest.

By combining these strategies with a solid understanding of the game and its probabilities, punters can minimise their risk and maximise their returns when betting.

 

Common Mistakes to Avoid

There are several common mistakes that punters should avoid when it comes to football betting.

One major mistake is to bet on a whim without doing proper research. This can lead to significant losses if the risk is not managed properly.

Another common error is to bet on accumulator bets, which as mentioned above involve betting on multiple outcomes.

These bets tend to be poor value, which is why you bookies promote them to punters so much! 

Another mistake to avoid is to chase losses – learn to accept losing bets and do not let emotion cloud your judgement. 

By avoiding these mistakes and focusing on easy bets, value bets, and solid strategies, punters can increase their chances of success and minimize their risk in football betting.

 

Conclusion – Living the Easy Life

The allure of placing easy, profitable bets is something many of us have dreamed about—envisioning a life where we can effortlessly select winning bets and live off the earnings.

However, achieving this without a solid strategy and the right tools is rarely sustainable in the long term.

Professional bettors typically avoid accumulators and multiples, focusing instead on single bets.

They prioritise high strike-rate bets that offer consistent returns, rather than chasing long shots meant for bragging rights.

Professional punters invest as much effort and dedication into their betting as one would in any full-time job.

Fortunately, modern tools can help you leverage the expertise of seasoned professionals.

Following a reputable tipster with a proven track record can be a smart approach.

Additionally, if it’s available in your country, matched betting offers a reliable method for making money from straightforward bets.

Regardless of the approach you take, it’s crucial to gamble responsibly and only wager what you can afford to lose.

Choosing a Reliable Football Prediction Site

With so many football prediction sites available, it can be challenging to choose a reliable one. When selecting a site, look for the following features:

  • Accuracy: The primary measure of a good football prediction site is its accuracy. Check the site’s track record and accuracy rate. A reliable site should have a high accuracy rate, typically above 80%. This ensures that the predictions you rely on are based on solid data and analysis.
  • Expertise: Look for sites that employ experienced analysts and experts in the field of football. These experts should have a deep understanding of the game and be able to provide valuable insights. Their knowledge can make a significant difference in the quality of the predictions.
  • Transparency: A reliable site should be transparent about its methods and algorithms. Look for sites that provide clear explanations of how they make their predictions. This transparency helps build trust and allows you to understand the basis of the predictions.
  • User-friendly interface: A good site should have a user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate. Look for sites that provide clear and concise information, as well as easy-to-use tools and features. A well-designed interface enhances your overall experience and makes it easier to find the information you need.

By considering these factors, you can choose a football prediction site that meets your needs and helps you make more informed betting decisions.


How Football Prediction Sites Work

Football prediction sites use a combination of statistical models and machine learning algorithms to analyze data from various sources. These sources may include:

  • Team performance: Sites analyze a team’s past performance, including their wins, losses, and draws. This data helps in understanding the team’s current form and potential future performance.
  • Player statistics: Sites analyze player statistics, such as goals scored, assists, and passing accuracy. Individual player performance can significantly impact the outcome of a match.
  • Historical trends: Sites analyze historical trends, such as a team’s performance in previous seasons or against specific opponents. These trends can provide valuable context and insights into future match outcomes.
  • Injuries and suspensions: Sites take into account injuries and suspensions, which can impact a team’s performance. The absence of key players can alter the dynamics of a match.

Using this data, sites create complex algorithms that predict the outcome of football matches. These algorithms may include:

  • Statistical models: Sites use statistical models, such as regression analysis and probability theory, to analyze data and make predictions. These models help in identifying patterns and trends that can influence match outcomes.
  • Machine learning algorithms: Sites use machine learning algorithms, such as neural networks and decision trees, to analyze data and make predictions. These algorithms can learn from past data and improve their predictions over time.

By combining these models and algorithms, football prediction sites can provide accurate and reliable predictions that help bettors make informed decisions.


Why use football prediction sites for betting?

Football betting can be a thrilling and rewarding experience, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges. Navigating the vast landscape of teams, leagues, and odds can be daunting, especially for newcomers to the world of sports betting.

This is where football prediction sites come into play. These specialized platforms offer a wealth of information and insights that can give you a significant edge over the competition.

By using football prediction sites, you gain access to expert analysis, detailed match previews, and statistical data that can help you make more informed betting decisions.

These sites often employ teams of analysts who meticulously study team performances, player injuries, head-to-head records, and a myriad of other factors to provide accurate predictions and forecasts.

With this valuable information at your fingertips, you can better assess the potential outcomes of a match and adjust your betting strategies accordingly.

Furthermore, football prediction sites can save you time and effort in researching and analyzing the vast amount of data available.

Instead of sifting through countless news articles, statistics, and odds, you can rely on these sites to synthesize the information and present it in a user-friendly format.

This allows you to focus on the crucial decision-making process of placing your bets, rather than getting bogged down in the endless sea of data.

 

Understanding Football Prediction Odds

Football prediction odds are a crucial aspect of football betting. Odds represent the likelihood of a particular outcome, such as a team winning or drawing. Understanding odds is essential to making informed betting decisions.

There are several types of odds, including:

  • Decimal odds: Decimal odds represent the ratio of the amount of money that will be paid out to the amount of money wagered. For example, decimal odds of 2.50 mean that for every $1 wagered, the bettor will receive $2.50 if they win.
  • Fractional odds: Fractional odds represent the ratio of the amount of money that will be paid out to the amount of money wagered. For example, fractional odds of 3/2 mean that for every $2 wagered, the bettor will receive $3 if they win.
  • Moneyline odds: Moneyline odds represent the amount of money that will be paid out for a winning bet. For example, moneyline odds of +150 mean that for every $100 wagered, the bettor will receive $150 if they win.

When interpreting odds, it’s essential to consider the following factors:

  • Probability: Odds represent the probability of a particular outcome. A lower probability means that the outcome is less likely to occur. Understanding the implied probability can help you assess the likelihood of different outcomes.
  • Risk: Odds also represent the risk involved in a bet. A higher risk means that the bettor stands to lose more money if they lose. Balancing risk and reward is crucial in making smart betting decisions.
  • Value: Odds can also represent the value of a bet. A good value bet is one that offers a high potential return for a relatively low risk. Identifying value bets can enhance your overall betting strategy.

By understanding football prediction odds, you can make more informed betting decisions and improve your chances of success in football betting.

Leveraging the best free football prediction sites can significantly enhance your betting strategy, providing you with expert insights, accurate forecasts, and comprehensive analysis.

Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just starting out, these resources offer valuable information that can save you time and improve your chances of winning.

By incorporating the predictions and tips from these top-rated sites, you can approach your football bets with greater confidence and precision, ultimately elevating your overall betting experience.

 

Best Lay Betting Tipsters for 2024: Revealed

Since Betfair launched over 20 years ago, lay betting has become a key part of the gambling world.

Once reserved for bookies, now any punter can lay a horse, player, or team they believe will lose.

While this opens up new opportunities, making a profit from lay betting is tougher than it seems.

Bookies can adjust odds in their favour, but on betting exchanges, punters must offer fair odds to get their bets matched.

Lay betting requires real skill, and few bettors succeed consistently.

Here at Honest Betting Reviews, we’ve tested many lay tipsters—most fall short, but a few have stood the test of time.

Below, we’ll highlight the best lay betting tipsters.

 

What is Lay Betting?

Lay betting is a unique form of wagering where you bet on a horse to lose a race, rather than to win.

This approach, often referred to as “laying a horse,” essentially turns you into the bookmaker.

Unlike traditional horse racing betting where you back a horse to win, lay betting requires you to pay out if the horse wins.

This method has gained popularity among professional bettors because it allows them to capitalize on overpriced horses and generate consistent profits.

By laying horses that are less likely to win, you can leverage the odds in your favor and enhance your betting strategy.

 


The Top Lay Betting Tipsters

We’ll take a look now at our top five lay betting tipsters. 

It’s worth noting that while the return on investment (ROI) with lay tipsters is typically lower than with backing tipsters, the strike rate (or win rate) is usually higher.

Often the strike rate for laying services can be over 70%. 

That means they can have long winning streaks where you can build the bank and enjoy watching the selected horses (or players) losing! 

Anyway, without further ado let’s get on with our top 5 lay betting tipsters.

 

5. Tennis Goldmine

At number five in our list is a tennis service called Tennis Goldmine.

This is a system whereby you lay tennis players based on certain criteria as set out in an instruction manual that is supplied when you sign up. 

The criteria for selections is very simple and it should only take you a few minutes each day to find the selections and place the lay bets.

We ran a six month trial of Tennis Goldmine and it performed very well, producing 28 points profit at a return on investment of 10% and a strike rate of 52%.

As a bonus you also get additional trading and betting tips from Patrick Ross (who designed the system) when signing up. 

Tennis has excellent liquidity for laying so there should be no problem getting bets matched, so overall this is a decent laying service that is worth checking out.  

 

4. Second Class Racing

 

Second Class Racing is a lay betting service that has gained notable recognition for its consistent success in horse racing.

Run by tipster Mel Gee, the service is part of the Betchat stable and offers lay betting tips via Telegram, with a straightforward “set and forget” approach.

Over a six-month trial we conducted of the service, Second Class Racing delivered impressive results, proving its merit in a challenging betting strategy.

Key stats from the trial include:

  • Profit/Loss: +70 points
  • Strike Rate: 85%
  • Bank Growth: 70%
  • Return on Investment (ROI): 14% (or 3.1% based on total liability)

The service focuses on laying horses at odds between 3.0 and 6.0 on Betfair.

With an 85% strike rate, the vast majority of bets were successful, helping to build a healthy profit over the course of the trial.

A 100-point betting bank is recommended, and even when a few bets weren’t matched at the advised odds, the overall results balanced out.

What sets Second Class Racing apart is its ability to generate consistent returns in an area of betting that can be difficult to master.

With profits of 70 points both at advised prices and Betfair SP (BSP), it’s clear that Mel Gee’s service is a top choice for lay bettors. 

In conclusion, with its strong results and high strike rate, Second Class Racing has passed our rigorous trial and stands as one of the few successful lay betting services in the market today.

 

3. Little Acorns International

Little Acorns International builds on the success of the original Little Acorns service, which is featured higher up this list.

Little Acorns International expands the reach of the original to racing worldwide, focusing on US racing.

Known for its disciplined and methodical approach, Little Acorns International focuses on low-liability lay betting, helping users steadily grow their bank over time.

The strategy behind the service is simple but effective: identify horses with diminishing win chances and lay them at carefully chosen odds.

One of the key features of Little Acorns International is its scalability. 

It employs a staking plan that adjusts based on your results, helping to protect your bankroll during losing streaks while maximizing profits during winning periods.

This long-term strategy has made Little Acorns International a reliable choice for bettors looking to build consistent returns.

Results so far have been top notch, with over 280 points profit made from the recommend staking approach. 

A £1,500 starting bank would have grown to over £8,000 using their compounding strategy. 

With results like those for lay betting tips, Little Acorns International offers a proven and scalable option with few better 

 

2. Back of the Net

One of the standout services in the world of lay betting is Back of the Net, a tipster service that focuses on lay betting strategies with a unique edge.

The service has gained a solid reputation for delivering consistent profits by identifying in-play opportunities to lay in football matches.

What sets Back of the Net apart is their highly analytical approach.

They use detailed data and form analysis to spot teams likely to underperform, giving bettors a smart way to profit from these insights.

This can be especially effective in live football markets where stats and the flow of the game can present significant in-play value opportunities.  

Members receive regular selections via the Telegram messenger app with clear instructions on how to place the bets, making it easy even for those new to lay betting.

The results have been highly impressive, with Back of the Net producing over 70 points profit made to date. 

If you’re looking for a lay betting service that focuses on football and has a proven track record of success, Back of the Net is definitely worth considering.

 

1. Little Acorns Gold

At the top of our list of lay betting tipsters is the superb Little Acorns Gold. This is a tipping service based off the very popular and long-running service Little Acorns. 

In essence Little Acorns is a low-liability horse racing laying system that lays odds-on shots according to a set of strict criteria.

It has been running for over 15 years and has won numerous awards (including our very own Best Horse Racing Service 2022 as voted for by our members). 

The system has made a profit every year, with some years producing over 100 points profit.

There is simply no other laying strategy out there with anything like the longevity and record of success that Little Acorns has achieved. 

In terms of operating the system, there are different staking systems you can use, from flat staking to Fibonacci staking, which comes with a little more risk but has delivered greater profit to date. 

Whilst Little Acorns itself is a betting manual containing the rules of the system, Little Acorns Gold is a tipping service which provides the tips generated from the Little Acorns system for you each day so you don’t have to spend time finding the selections yourself. 

Alerts are sent out via e-mail and Telegram when there is a selection, so all you have to do is then place the lay bet. For those pressed for time, this is certainly a valuable option.

We ran our own review of Little Acorns Gold and it made a handy 30 points profit over the course of our trial. 

Overall for a lay betting service with an outstanding long-term track record, there is simply nothing better than Little Acorns for winning money. 

 

Final Thoughts – Lay Betting Tipsters

Lay betting has revolutionised the betting landscape, allowing punters to bet against horses, teams, and players in ways that were previously reserved for bookmakers.

However, as we’ve highlighted, turning a consistent profit from lay betting is no easy task.

It requires skill, discipline, and often the guidance of a reliable tipster.

The services featured in our list of the best lay betting tipsters—Little Acorns Gold, Back of the Net, Second Class Racing, Little Acorns International, and Tennis Goldmine—are among the best lay betting tipsters available today.

Simple Horse Racing Systems That Work

The market is flooded with horse racing betting systems, many of which are incredibly complex. Some demand extensive hours of analyzing form or setting up complicated Betfair bots and similar tools.

But does this complexity actually make them superior to other systems? Not necessarily—in fact, simpler approaches often prove more effective.

Having examined hundreds of betting strategies over the years, we’ve found that the most successful ones are often the simplest, enduring the test of time.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of “overthinking” by getting lost in the overwhelming amount of data, statistics, and information available online today. However, a straightforward method that offers a clear, repeatable advantage can often be a more successful strategy.

With that in mind, let’s explore a few basic horse racing systems that have demonstrated long-term effectiveness, including some UK horse racing systems tailored to meet different punters’ needs.

 

Understanding Horse Racing Systems

Horse racing systems are strategic methods designed to identify potential winners in horse races.

These systems can be based on various factors such as past performances, form, speed, class, and other relevant data.

Understanding horse racing systems is crucial for anyone looking to make informed decisions when betting on horse races.

There are various types of horse racing systems, ranging from simple to complex.

Simple horse racing systems might focus on a single factor, such as consistently backing favourites or laying odds-on shots.

These systems are straightforward and easy to implement, making them accessible for beginners.

On the other hand, complex systems may involve multiple factors and require more in-depth analysis, often combining various data points to predict outcomes.

When evaluating a horse racing system, it’s essential to consider its strike rate, profitability, and risk level.

A system with a high strike rate and profitability may seem attractive, but it’s also important to weigh the risk level, ROI, drawdowns, staking and potential losses.

A profitable horse racing system should offer a balance between these elements, ensuring that the potential rewards justify the risks involved.

By understanding the fundamentals of horse racing systems, bettors can develop a more strategic approach to their wagers, increasing their chances of success in the long run.

 

Top 6 Simple Horse Racing Systems

Here’s our list of our top six simple horse racing systems that we have tested out and proved their ability to generate a profit.

Some of these systems have identified big priced winners, which is always a great thrill to enjoy when a horse you have backed at huge odds comes romping home!

The list runs from six to one, with the best saved for last. Please let us know in the comments below if there are any you think we’ve left off! 

 

6. Using the Racing Post Naps Table

If you’ve spent much time betting on horse racing, you’re probably familiar with the Racing Post naps table. This table compiles the top daily selections (naps) from various newspaper tipsters into one convenient list.

However, it’s important to avoid simply backing the most tipped horse to win. These newspaper tipsters often have poor track records, frequently selecting favorites just to claim a win. More often than not, their overall performance for the season ends in a loss.

But the naps table can be useful in another way—it can help you predict where the betting money is likely to go. The Racing Post is a highly popular publication, purchased by thousands of race-goers at events across the country, and its website also attracts a significant amount of daily traffic.

By scanning the naps table for horses that have received a lot of tips, you can identify which horses are likely to attract significant betting activity.

This insight into money betting trends allows you to make an early trade—backing the horse on the website before the crowds at the races get their copies of the Racing Post, then laying it off as the race approaches.

It’s surprising how often these heavily tipped horses get backed, especially if they’re ridden by a well-known jockey or come from a prestigious stable.

The beauty of this strategy is that it requires no form study and is very quick to execute—just a quick glance at the naps table, place your bet, and remember to lay it off later.

 

5. Laying Exposed Favourites

Another straightforward horse racing strategy involves targeting favorites that come with significant question marks.

In racing terms, we’re interested in horses that are “exposed.” These are horses with an extensive record, making their past performances well-known under various conditions.

The key is to focus on those being asked to do something in the current race that they’ve struggled with before. This could mean a horse that has never won at the race’s distance, on a specific type of ground or surface, or in a particular class of competition.

The more a horse has faced similar conditions and failed, the better the opportunity for laying them becomes.

For instance, if a horse has only won at distances of 6 furlongs or less but has consistently failed over 7 furlongs or longer, and today’s race is a mile, that’s a strong indicator against them—a red flag, but a good one if you’re looking to lay the horse.

The more of these red flags present in a single race, the better.

Horses are typically priced based on recent performances. For example, if they’ve won their last two races, they’ll likely be a short price in the next one.

However, by digging into their history and identifying if they’re being asked to do something they’ve repeatedly failed at, you can uncover a simple yet effective laying strategy.

 

4. Simple Back to Lay Trading

Horse racing, like many aspects of life, often follows predictable patterns. Certain horses tend to perform consistently in the same way, race after race.

From a betting and trading perspective, this predictability is valuable because it allows us to create strategies based on these patterns. One such strategy is the back-to-lay trading approach.

The idea is to focus on horses that typically race prominently but struggle to maintain their lead to the finish.

These are the front-runners or pace-setters—horses that like to charge ahead early, often described by commentators as “eager” or “keen.” As these horses lead the pack early on, their odds tend to shorten significantly during the race.

However, they often fade towards the end as they run out of steam, finishing in second or third place. While these types of horses can be frustrating to bet on for an outright win, they’re perfect candidates for a back-to-lay trade.

The strategy involves backing them before the race begins—these horses usually have decent odds because they don’t win often but are usually competitive. Then, you place a lay bet at a lower price, hoping it gets matched as the horse’s odds shorten during the race.

A common approach is to lay the horse at half the starting price, so if a horse starts at 10.0, you might set a lay bet at 5.0. This technique is known as “dobbing, which stands for “double or bust.”

There’s no strict rule about setting the lay price exactly at half. It’s often better to be flexible and consider how much the horse’s odds typically shorten in previous races. Some horses might consistently drop by 30%, while others might drop by 40% or 50%.

The key is to identify horses that regularly shorten in-play. Some horses have an impressive track record of doing this, making them ideal candidates for this strategy.

 

3. Grab the Each-Way Value

Another strategy that requires no knowledge of horse racing or form study is the each-way value system.

This approach capitalizes on situations where the place part of an each-way bet offers an edge over the bookmakers.

Typically, place odds are calculated as a fraction of the win odds (usually a quarter or a fifth). However, in certain races—particularly those with a strong favorite—the place odds can actually provide good value.

If identifying these opportunities seems challenging, there’s no need to worry, as there are tools available that do the heavy lifting for you.

One such tool is the Each-Way Sniper software, which analyzes the odds, comparing those offered by bookmakers with Betfair odds, to pinpoint when the place part of an each-way bet offers value.

All you need to do is consult the software and place your bets accordingly. In our full review of Each-Way Sniper, it performed impressively, generating a profit of £473 over the course of our trial.

This system couldn’t be simpler to follow—you don’t even need to understand horse racing. Just configure your settings, check the software daily, and place your bets. It’s a straightforward and effective system.

 

2. Following Specialist Trainers

One often overlooked strategy in horse racing betting is focusing on trainers. While jockeys often steal the spotlight, with figures like Frankie Dettori and Rachael Blackmore becoming household names, trainers don’t always get the same level of attention.

Although big names like Aidan O’Brien and Sir Michael Stoute are well-known, many bettors tend to overlook the trainer’s influence or simply place bets on all of a trainer’s horses in a race without much thought.

However, taking the time to research a trainer’s track record can uncover significant trends. As we discuss in detail in our e-book Ultimate Betting Secrets, trainers like John Gosden, for example, have an outstanding overall record, particularly in major races and with horses priced at odds over 5/1.

Another example is the Godolphin stable, which has an impressive track record on all-weather surfaces, especially with horses priced above evens.

It doesn’t take long to research trainer statistics on websites like Flatstats or the Racing Post. Identifying a profitable angle on a trainer can be highly rewarding.

As emphasized in our betting guide, it’s crucial to base your bets on sound logic and reasoning—understanding why a trainer excels in certain types of races—rather than attributing their success to random factors, such as a streak of wins at a particular track.

 

1. Laying Odds-on Shots

The most effective simple betting system we’ve encountered over the years is a straightforward laying strategy that targets short-priced favorites.

This system, known as Little Acorns, has been in operation for over a decade. It follows a set of simple rules that help identify odds-on horses that are worth laying.

While we can’t reveal the exact rules, they are easy to follow, and it only takes 10-15 minutes a day to review the racecards and spot potential selections.

For those who are short on time, there’s even a companion service, Little Acorns Gold, that identifies selections for you and sends alerts via email or Telegram when a bet is available.

The true measure of a system’s effectiveness is its ability to endure over time, and Little Acorns has certainly proven its worth. Since its launch in 2009, it has consistently delivered substantial profits year after year.

During our trial of the system, it generated an impressive 189 points of profit and has earned multiple accolades, including our Best Horse Racing Service award in 2020 and 2022, voted on by our members.

As we mentioned earlier, simplicity often wins out, and Little Acorns is a perfect example of that.

This remarkably uncomplicated system has been followed by many bettors for years, allowing them to grow significant betting banks from modest starting stakes. Or, as the system’s name suggests, they’ve grown “mighty oaks from little acorns.”

 

Identifying Value in UK Horse Racing

Identifying value in UK horse racing involves finding horses that are priced higher than their true chances of winning.

This can be achieved by analyzing past performances, form, and other relevant data.

The goal is to spot opportunities where the odds offered by bookmakers do not accurately reflect a horse’s real potential.

One effective way to identify value is to look for horses with a high strike rate in certain races or conditions.

For instance, a horse that consistently performs well in handicap races may be a strong contender in similar events.

By focusing on these patterns, bettors can uncover profitable opportunities that others might overlook.

Another method is to identify horses that are being undervalued by the market.

This involves analyzing the odds and comparing them to the horse’s actual chances of winning.

If a horse is priced higher than its true potential, it represents a value bet.

Tools and resources like the Racing Post can be invaluable in this process, providing detailed analysis and data on horse races, including past performances and form.

By understanding horse racing systems and identifying value in UK horse racing, punters can make more informed decisions and increase their chances of winning.

However, it’s essential to remember that no system is foolproof, and there is always an element of risk involved in betting on horse races.

Always gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.

Two-Way Bet Explained: A Simple Guide to Smarter Betting

Some of the terms that we use in sports betting and gambling can be a little confusing when you first come across them, and one that often confuses people is the 2-way bet.

The difficulty is that many people confuse this with an each way bet, which is an entirely different animal.

That is unless it is a two-horse race you are betting on, in which case they are very similar, though not quite the same.

To avoid any future confusion, we will explain both.

 

What is a Two-Way Bet?

A two-way bet is a type of wager that involves two possible outcomes, with no chance of a tie or a draw.

This type of bet is commonly used in sports like tennis, where only one player can win.

For instance, in a tennis match, you can place a bet on either player to win, and there is no possibility of a draw.

In football matches, a two-way bet can be offered on a Draw No Bet basis.

This means that if the game ends in a draw, the bookmaker returns your stake.

This type of bet is also popular in other sports, such as ice hockey, where the outcome is either a win or a loss.

By focusing on just two outcomes, a two-way bet simplifies the betting process and can often provide more favorable odds compared to traditional three-way bets.

It is important to realise that games such as football elimination matches in which the result may be finally decided by extra time or a penalty shootout are not 2 way bets as the bookmaker pays out according to the full time score in 90 minutes – extra time does not count.

So should the game go to extra time, any bet other than on a draw would lose.  

Obviously the odds will be less for a football match where you are betting on two outcomes rather than three. 

So for example, here are the odds for Crystal Palace v Everton in the Premier League in the normal match odds (1×2) market:

  • Crystal Palace: 2.7
  • Draw: 3.5
  • Everton: 2.88

But when reduced to a 2-way bet where the draw has been taken out of the equation (i.e. draw no bet), the odds are then:

  • Crystal Palace: 1.93
  • Everton: 2.0

So you are getting lower odds for either side to win, but if the game finishes in a draw you get your money back, which doesn’t happen in the normal match odds (1×2) market.

That’s the advantage of a 2-way bet.

What is an Each-Way Bet?

An each-way bet is typically used in horse racing but also in other sports like golf and snooker where you can bet on the winner of a tournament.

Effectively an each-way bet is a bet in which half of your total stake is bet on your selected horse winning, and half is bet on the horse being placed in one of the top ranks.

What counts as a place depends on several factors such as the size of the field (which is the number of horses running in the race), the specific event, and on the strategy or whim of the bookmaker.

The payout for each way bets also varies, again depending on the size of the field and other factors.

An each way bet offers a strategic advantage by allowing bettors to win not only if their horse finishes first but also if it places in the top positions.

  • In races with 2-4 runners, each way bets are not usually available. It is normally win-only on these small-field races.
  • In races with 5-7 runners the payouts are typically one quarter (1/4) of the betting odds on first and second places (1-2).
  • In races with 8-15 runners, bookmakers usually offer one fifth (1/5) odds on first, second and third place (1-3).
  • In handicap races with 12-15 runners, bookmakers usually offer one quarter (1/4) odds on first, second and third place (1-3).
  • In races with 16+ runners, bookmakers usually offer one quarter (1/4) odds on first, second, third and fourth place (1-4).

Handicap races tend to be a little different, for instance, if there are 16 or more runners one quarter (1/4) odds are usually offered on the first four places.

The Grand National is a prime example where each-way betting is popular due to the large field of runners and extended payout options.

Example of Each-Way Bet

Here is an example that should make it clear:

Say you place an each-way bet on a 12 horse race where the bookmaker is offering quarter (1/4) odds on the first three places.

Your selection is priced at 16/1, and you bet £5 each-way (£10 total bet, made up of £5 on the win and £5 on the place).

The following payouts apply:

  • If your selection wins, you win £5 x 16 for the win half your bet = £80, plus 1/4  x 16 x 5 = £20 for the place half of your bet. The bookmaker also returns your full stake, so you walk away with £110.
  • If your selection is placed second or third, then you lose your bet on a win, but you win your place bet. Your payout is plus 1/4 x 16 x 5 = £20 and half your stake (£5) is returned. Thus, you walk away with £25. In races with less than five runners, only the win part of the bet is normally applicable, making each-way bets inapplicable.

It is normally only worth making a each-way bet if the odds offered by the bookmaker are high – above 3/1 for example. Making each way bets on low odds is a waste of money.

It is also advisable to check if the bookmaker offers best odds guaranteed to ensure you receive the highest possible payout.

Components of an Each-Way Bet

An each-way bet consists of two components: a ‘win’ part and a ‘place’ part.

The ‘win’ part of the bet is a wager on the selected horse to win the race, while the ‘place’ part is a wager on the horse to finish in one of the top ranks, usually first, second, or third.

Essentially, you are placing two separate bets, which means your total stake is double that of a single win bet.

For example, if you place a £10 each-way bet, you are actually betting £10 on the horse to win and £10 on the horse to place, making your total stake £20.

 

How Does an Each-Way Bet Work?

An each-way bet works by combining the ‘win’ and ‘place’ parts of the bet into one wager.

The win part is straightforward: if the horse wins, you win the bet.

The place part is a bit more complex, as the number of places that qualify can vary depending on the bookmaker and the number of runners in the race.

For instance, as explained above, in a race with 5-7 runners, the bookmaker may offer 1/4 odds for the horse finishing in either 1st or 2nd place.

This means that even if your horse doesn’t win but finishes in one of the top places, you still get a return on your bet.

 

Calculating Winnings from an Each-Way Bet

Calculating winnings from an each-way bet can be a bit intricate, as it depends on the odds provided by the bookmaker, the place terms, and whether the horse wins or just places.

To calculate the winnings, you need to consider both parts of the bet separately.

The win part of the bet would return the full odds, while the place part would pay out a fraction of the odds, usually 1/4 or 1/5.

For example, if you place a £1 each-way bet on a horse at 6.0 (5/1) with 1/4 place terms, the possible outcomes are:

  • If the horse loses, you lose both parts of the bet.
  • If the horse wins, you get the full odds for the win part and 1/4 of the odds for the place part.
  • If the horse finishes in the top 3 but doesn’t win, you get 1/4 of the odds for the place part.


Benefits of Each-Way Betting

Each-way betting offers several benefits to bettors, including reduced risk and increased potential returns.

By covering both the win and place parts of the bet, each-way betting reduces the risk of losing the entire stake.

This is particularly advantageous in races with large fields, where the number of places offered by the bookies are normally higher.

Additionally, each-way betting can offer higher potential returns than a single win bet, especially if the horse has long odds.

However, it’s essential to note that each-way betting also doubles the stake, which can increase the overall cost of the bet.

This makes it crucial to weigh the potential benefits against the increased cost before placing an each-way bet.

 

Conclusion – 2-Way Betting

Understanding the difference between a two-way bet and an each-way bet is key to making more informed decisions in your sports betting journey.

While a two-way bet simplifies things by focusing on just two possible outcomes, an each-way bet offers a bit more complexity, particularly with events like horse racing where you’re betting on both a win and a place.

Each betting type has its strengths: the two-way bet reduces risk with options like “draw no bet,” while the each-way bet gives you a chance to profit even if your selection doesn’t win outright.

Knowing when and how to use these strategies can help you navigate the betting world with confidence and hopefully lead to better results.

Whether you’re wagering on a football match or placing bets on the next big race, a solid grasp of these betting types will put you in a better position to succeed.

Happy betting!
