We recently started a new feature here at Honest Betting Reviews – our “Tipster of the Month” award.

This is where we look at the top tipsters – both those we have reviewed in the past and those we are currently reviewing – to see who’s performed most strongly over the last month.

It’s a chance to find out who is in form and has been giving the bookies a good hiding over the last month and to note any stand-out performances.

Now it’s time to look at the top tipsters from April.

 

Tipster of the Month – April 2021

April was a big month for sport with the Grand National, the Masters golf, Champions League quarter and semi-finals and much more besides.

It didn’t quite have that spring-like feel here in the UK as the weather remained cold but that didn’t stop some tipsters from striking red-hot form as they hit the bookies where it hurts in April.

Let’s get on to looking at the top three tipsters for the month. The awards actually have a similar feel to last month’s with some of the contenders continuing their excellent form from March.

 

3. Super Sports Capper

Claiming third place for the second month in a row is the Super Sports Capper. This is a tipster that bets in a variety of sports including basketball, football, tennis and NFL. They tip in quite niche markets like players to score above a number of points or have a certain number of shots on target.

Their approach worked really well in April, with a profit of 32 points made over the month to follow up the 40 points made in March. There were a real mixture of selections in there from rugby, tennis, the NBA and football.

They maintained their high strike rate of over 60% and made it seven winning months out of seven so far.

2. The Outside Edge

Another strong month for horse racing tipster the Outside Edge who won our Tipster of the Month for the two previous months but is edged out into second on this occasion.

Still, they managed another 38 points profit in April to follow up the superb 64 points profit made in March. Winners for the month included Potterman at Sandown at 11/1, Oscar Thyne at Clonmel at 8/1,  Manofthemountain at Cheltenham at 8/1 and a host of other winners and placings over the month.

This service is fast moving towards becoming one of our top recommended horse racing tipsters and we know a lot of you have been enjoying all the winners over the last few months.

Well done again to the Outside Edge on another very good month, although they just missed out on top spot this time.

1. Bookie Insiders Golf Tips

There can only really be one winner this month and that is Bookie Insiders Golf Tips, who managed to land the single biggest winner we’ve ever had the pleasure of proofing here at Honest Betting Reviews as Tyson Alexander won the Veritex Bank Championship on the Korn Ferry Tour at a massive 750/1!

It’s pretty tough to find winners on golf at over 100/1, so to find one at such a high price is quite astonishing. Those who backed the tip would obviously have enjoyed a huge success and congratulations if you were one of them. 

It kind of optimises golf betting, in that you can have long periods without finding a winner only to have a big one come along and completely change the picture. That certainly happened with Bookie Insiders Golf in April. 

Even at small 0.25e/w stakes the bet still returned 234 points profit and landed them just shy of 200 points profit on the month, leaving them well clear of everyone else in April. 

So a deserving winner of our Tipster of the Month award for April, well done to Bookie Insiders Golf Tips.

Politics is an ever-changing landscape that can sometimes throw up surprises. The unpredictability of an election or a referendum comes with many consequences for a nation and can leave lasting effects on its people for many years.

British politics has had some polarizing victories over the last few years—for example, the Tories’ dominance in the 2019 general election, and the much-argued Brexit result in 2016. However, with exciting results comes an opportunity to bet on political outcomes. So, what political possibilities could be an interesting wager?

2021 London Mayoral Election

The 2021 London mayoral election will be held on May 6th 2021, after being postponed last year. The election comes around every four years and is a battle for one of the most coveted seats in British politics, even if the role has only existed for twenty years. The previous Mayor of London is the current Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, who held the position from 2008-2016. 

This year shall see the current mayor, Sadiq Khan, go against a plethora of candidates. The most notable of those are Shaun Bailey, Sian Berry, and Brian Rose. It seems as though the odds on the 2021 London Mayoral Election has Khan as the favourite at 1/50. Rose follows at 7/1, and Bailey resides not far from that at 12/1. The latest opinion polls seem to reflect this, with Khan having 51 percent of first preference votes.

Boris Johnson being replaced as Prime Minister

It is important to stress that Boris Johnson isn’t facing a vote of no confidence, and the next general election isn’t until May 2nd, 2024. It is merely hypothetical, and to see if it’s worth guessing when Johnson’s reign will come to an end. Theresa May resigned as the last Prime Minister in 2019, and Johnson took over by winning the election to become the conservative leader. 

The unpredictable nature in changing the Prime Minister lends itself to being an attractive wager. Betting on the event could give great odds if you have the foresight to predict such an outcome. Johnson seems secure now, but you never know what’s around the corner.

Scottish Independence Referendum

The 2021 Scottish parliament election is approaching fast and will commence on May 6th. The election will see all 129 seats in Scottish Parliament up for grabs, with 65 needed for a majority. The current party in power, the SNP, won 63 seats in the last election, and remained the largest party in the chamber.

Nicola Sturgeon looks to be in a leading position to remain the First Minister, which would have rippling effects for Scotland. If the SNP stays in power, there could be another independence referendum coming sometime in the future. Some people may even think it could happen this year, and could also put a bet down on this at odds of 10/1. Stranger things have happened. 

The environment of British politics is mercurial and often provides the most unexpected results. However, with the endless possibilities in elections, referendums, or changing leaders, there will always be plenty of options for betting.
