See the latest updates on betting systems currently under review and get tips on how to beat the bookies with the winning formular on the best winning betting systems.,
There have been a wide variety of sports covered over the last month including NBA, football, AFL, tennis and rugby.
Normally we’d say it’s tough to make a profit across so many sports but this tipster is managing it so far with considerable success. Let’s see if that continues.
As we mentioned when commencing the review, this service bets in very niche markets like player and team points. As such prices can be quite sensitive.
For example, when looking at today’s two selections – one of them was under 2.5 tries for a certain team, advised at 1.80 at B365 and that is still available a couple of hours after the tip was sent out.
However, for the other tip, which is a team points total, the tip was for under 25.5 points at advised odds of 2.00 but now the odds are 1.72 and the line is under 24.5 points.
So quite a significant shift on the second tip – that is something to watch out for as the trial progresses in terms of the availability of the odds and the overall effect on profits.
Today we are starting a new review of an interesting multi-sports service from Betting Gods called the Super Sports Capper.
The service covers NBA, NFL, and major UK football and European basketball which is quite a wide variety of events from around the world.
The results to date look extremely impressive, with over 190 points profit made since starting proofing to Betting Gods in September 2020.
What stands out though are the metrics, with a return on investment of 25% at the same time as hitting a strike rate of 72%, which is a supreme combination. Usually with a strike rate that high you would expect the ROI to be below 10% and often below 5%, even for professional bettors. Whether that can be maintained in the long run remains to be seen of course.
The tips are provided by a chap called Allan who apparently spends his days studying team form, news, injuries, betting markets and multiple other factors to deliver a solid winning service. He says his own money goes on the bets as well – of course we would expect nothing less!
In terms of the average monthly profit, that has been over £900 so far which would be a great bit of extra income if it could be maintained.
One thing we note from looking at the results is that they bet in quite niche markets like players to score above a number of points or have a certain number of shots on target. So it will be interesting to see the availability of prices on those markets.
All in all it looks very promising though so we are eager to get this review going. As usual we will post updates here as we go along.
Horse racing tipster The Outside Edge continues to relentlessly hammer the bookies, adding another 42 points profit at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now a massive 258 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
The results at Betfair SP continue to perform very well too, with 41 points profit made since our last update and 229 points profit made for our trial overall.
If you are not already a member it may well be worth checking this service out as it really looks top drawer to us.
It’s getting silly now. Horse racing tipster The Outside Edge just keeps relentlessly racking up the profits, adding another 65 points profit since our last update.
That means they are now an amazing 216 points up for our trial overall.
The results at Betfair SP continue to perform very well too, with an excellent 80 points profit made since our last update and 188 points profit made for our trial overall.
If you’ve been following the blog you will have seen the Outside Edge picking up our Tipster of the Month award for two months in a row – and well deserved. The winners have been flying in left, right and centre and we know lots of you have been enjoying them, which is always good to hear.
Horse racing tipster The Outside Edge continues to give the bookies a good bashing, adding another 40 points profit at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now a superb 151 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
The results at Betfair SP are holding up pretty well, with 23 points profit made since our last update and 93 points profit made for our trial overall at BSP.
These results are particularly impressive when you consider how many tipsters have struggled in recent times with variable ground, cancelled meetings and a revised schedule playing havoc with the form.
At Betfair SP it’s also been a strong start, with a profit of 70 points made so far. That is down in part to an excellent winner they had on Saturday at Ascot with Not So Sleepy winning at a BSP of 30.36, which really gave them a boost heading into the Xmas period.
Just a reminder that as noted below in our opening of the review, we started receiving tips on 20th October so have recorded results from then.
Today we are stating a new review of a horse racing tipster called The Outside Edge.
This is a tipster from the reputable Betting Gods tipster platform who started proofing their tips back in December 2019, so nearly a year ago now.
In that time they have produced £2,764 profit at £10 per point stakes at a return on investment of over 15%.
That works out at an average monthly profit of £276 at the same £10 per point stakes which is very handy indeed.
The strike rate (otherwise known as win rate) is over 30% which is healthy level and should mean there are steady returns (hopefully).
Tips are provided by a chap called Darren and he explains his approach as follows:-
“I like to take a two-pronged approach which is why I send two sets of tips each day. I send my first few tips the evening before – this is where I capture value in the markets. I then send a second round of tips in the morning of racing where I look at market trends to grab some final value for you.”
So two shots at grabbing some value and smashing the bookies, which is encouraging.
We started receiving tips on 20th October so will record results from then. They have started off very strongly so hopefully that will continue for the remainder of our review. Results will be updated here regularly as we go along.
It’s been something of a slow start (ironically) to our trial of horse racing service Flat Flyers, which haven’t quite been flying yet, with a loss of 21 points made to advised prices so far.
At Betfair SP the results have been slightly better, with a loss of 16 points made so far.
Just a note that the advice is to back the selections win-only for two points if the odds are less than 5/1 (6.0), or one point each-way if the odds are above that.
And it is advised to try and take the prices as close to the 10am post time as possible in order to secure the value on the tips.
So a bit of a slow start on this one as we say but it’s still early days and plenty of time to recover.
Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing service called Flat Flyers.
It comes from the Back Lucrative team, whose main service we reviewed last year and awarded a passed rating to after it made over 100 points profit. Their other spin-off service Hidden Winners we have just finished reviewing and also awarded a passed rating to after it made over 60 points profit.
So this is stable with strong pedigree, to use a racing metaphor, and is one we have a great deal of respect for given their long track-record of success.
When Michael of Back Lucrative contacted us about a new service of theirs, we were obviously very keen therefore to hear more about it.
It’s actually not so much a new service, as one that was just reopened to new members and has in fact been running since December 2017.
The results since the service started have been very impressive, with the following profits made:
NH 2017: +33 points
FLAT 2018: +125.6 points
NH 2018: +23.05 points
FLAT 2019: +115.8 points
NH 2019: +65.69 points
FLAT 2020: 239.9 points
TOTAL: +603 points profit
So that’s very impressive stuff from just over three years of selections.
Just to note that when it says “NH” above, it stands for National Hunt flat races, which run through the winter when there is no flat turf racing.
Membership for this service is closed at the moment but they usually open it up at certain points during the year, so we will keep you posted when those occur.
As usual we will update results here so you can see how they get on.
A trend we are noticing on the tips is that prices with Bet365 tend to hold up better than with other bookies. Betfair Sportsbook can also hold its prices pretty well, as with one of today’s tips that was quoted at 3.0 and is still available at those odds.
Some of the other bookies prices tend to get pushed down more noticeably as these are quite niche leagues being tipped in. Overall though we would say it should be possible to obtain the advised prices or close to them on most tips.
We remarked last time on the pressure on prices after tips are released and this is becoming more of an issue.
If we take today for example, there are three selections. Two of the tips are on over/under points totals and the lines have moved by a couple of points with the bookies available to us. That is equivalent to the odds having dropped on those selections.
On the third selection, the advised price is still available with B365 over four hours after the tip was sent, which is good.
So there are certain instances where you may not be able to obtain advised prices, but it doesn’t happen every time. Certainly having Pinnacle and B365 would be an advantage if following this service. Overall though the profits have been so good that even missing out on a few prices here and there, you should still be well ahead.
Given the excellent results and popularity of the service there is some pressure coming in on prices now, so it is advisable to get your bets on as soon as possible after tips are sent out.
Normally there are multiple bookies quoted so there are options for getting your bets on, even if you don’t have B365 which tends to be top price quite often.
One aspect we like about this service (besides the profits, obviously!) is that the staking is all one point level-stakes, so easy to follow and no artificial inflating of results like some other services.
Well worth checking out, great stuff from the Geek.
Just a quick word on prices with this service. Generally we have found prices hold up pretty well, although there are some instances where the odds drop a little after tips are released.
For example, looking at today’s tips, there are three bets still to run.
There are two longer shots – one advised at 9.0 that is currently available at 9.5 with Paddy Power and Betfair Sportsbook and one advised at 3.5 that is still available at those odds with B365, BF Sportsbook and Redzone.
At the same time though, the other tip is an overs bet advised at 1.86 which is currently a best price of 1.73.
So it’s not as if there is an instant crash in prices or anything like that, but prices can move in on certain tips so it’s a good idea to get your bets on as soon as you can.
Anyway, good progress from this service which has been very consistent so far – just what we like to see.
Bets come in leagues all over the world and in men’s and women’s basketball, so it can pay to have a wide variety of bookies’ accounts to cover all the bets, for example with Marathonbet, SBO Bet etc as well the traditional bookies like Bet365.
A solid if unspectacular performance for our review so far, let’s see if they can kick on and really get going for the rest of our trial.
Geek – One who passionately engages in one or more things to extreme levels.
That’s the definition of a geek according to Urban Dictionary and seems about right to us.
Our next trial is of a service which actually refers to themselves as a geek – The Basketball Geek to be specific – and given their results, the name appears quite apt.
This is clearly someone who “passionately engages in one or more things to extreme levels” – and that is betting on basketball!
The results are testament to their knowledge and engagement with the sport, with a profit of over 190 points made since they started proofing to Betting Gods in November 2019.
That has been achieved with a more-than-decent ROI of 19% and an excellent strike rate of 56%, meaning a high proportion of the bets so far have been winners.
Most impressive of all, the advised betting bank of 75 points would have grown by over 260%, which means a substantial return on capital to date.
In terms of consistency that looks rock solid as well, with all eight months being profitable so far.
We can’t say we’ve bet on basketball much over the years but as we always say, if a service can make a profit we don’t really mind what it bets on – it could be tiddlywinks for all we care! If it is making a consistent profit then that’s all we’re looking for really.
It will make a nice change to try out a new sport in many ways so we are looking forward to testing this service out. We started receiving tips on 14th July so will record results from then. Check back here for regular updates on how things are going.
This trial has struggled to get going so far really. It’s been very much a case of one step forwards, two steps back as each time it looks like they are moving into the green they fall back again.
Anyway, let’s hope they can get moving forward over the remainder of the season now and at least finish our trial in profit.
The Scottish leagues have been a little weather affected lately so that may have thrown the form off a tad, but hopefully as we move into the spring we will see some better returns for this tipster, also known as “The Scotsman.”
The bets are spread around the Scottish leagues, with some coming in the Premiership whilst a good portion are in the lower leagues. On the lower leagues the odds can get pushed in quite a bit so it’s best to get your bets as soon as possible.
Most of the bets are either in the match odds or under/over 2.5 goals markets, so pretty simple to follow. Let’s hope they kick on over the next month and put some profit on the board.
When it comes to betting on football, finding an edge or angle to beat the bookies can be tough. The main markets on the big five leagues – the Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1 – have huge liquidity and are generally difficult to make a profit on. Eking out a narrow 1 or 2% edge is about the best many professional gamblers hope for on the top leagues.
One alternative approach is to focus on other leagues that don’t get such huge coverage and where things like team news, injuries, players’ form etc isn’t covered so extensively and known to everyone.
Well the service we are looking at today is one that does exactly that, focusing solely on Scottish football and using their expert knowledge and ear to the ground to make a decent profit from the beautiful game north of Hadrian’s Wall.
The service in question is called the Scottish Football Income Booster (or SFIB for short) and the tips are provided by a chap who is known solely as “the Scotsman,” to keep his identity secret.
The Scotsman is a university educated maths whizz based just outside Glasgow (yes, he’s Scottish!) and his CV screams “Scottish football expert“.
With previous stints at leading bookmaking firms and an Asian-based private investment syndicate as a proprietary trader, in addition to acting as a quant-based hedge fund’s go-to Scottish betting consultant after he was head-hunted because of his vast local knowledge about players, teams and motivational issues likely to affect results…
Suffice to say this guy is a bona fide expert in his field and a source of highly sought-after information.
His retutns back that up, with results proofed elsewhere showing a profit of over 180 points since starting tipping in 2015/16.
That would be over £18,000 profit to £100/point stakes or £3,600 to more modest £20/point stakes.
Those results have been achieved with a very decent strike rate of 47% and a return on investment of over 11%, which is more than respectable in the world of football betting.
The service comes out of the Matthew Walton stable of tipsters, who also has two of the best tipsters we have reviewed in their respective sports, namely Racing Intelligence and the Golf Insider in horse racing and golf respectively.
So from what we can gather Matthew has another hidden gem and top quality tipster this time in the sport of football.
As we always say though, the ultimate test will be a live trial here at Honest Betting Reviews so we are looking forward to getting our review underway.
We have just received the tips for this weekend and are raring to go, so will kick off the review today and will hopefully be toasting (with a glass of whiskey and some shortbread perhaps) a good few winners and a positive result in a few months’ time.

They also have some YouTube content available. Here is a video where they detail one mistake they constantly see in the MMA betting market and how you can take advantage of it:
The world of MMA is fully back in action now after taking a break over xmas/new year so there are lots of bets coming through now. James who runs Lucrative MMA also now posts some free tips and Youtube analysis of his picks both of which are well worth checking out.
Just a reminder that we have been following this service on a private basis since January, so have included the full results since then, which as we say have been very good.
The sport of MMA (mixed martial arts) is becoming more popular these days, with big fights in the UFC receiving big audiences and some of the stars becoming celebrities.
With this popularity has of course come more betting interest and most bookies now price up markets for the big fights.
And of course, with there being a decent amount of betting, there are now some promising tipsters emerging in the field.
This is a service that has been running for just over a year now and has amassed some very impressive results with 265 points profit made to date.
That has been achieved with an excellent return on investment of 27% and a high strike rate of 53%, so over half of the bets so far have been winners.
We have actually been receiving the tips since January so can verify those results. There are detailed write-ups for the tips from which you can see that James, who runs the service, has a great knowledge of MMA.
So we will formally kick off our review today but will include results from when we started receiving the tips. Updates will be posted here as we go along as usual.
That means that unfortunately across their three systems they are now 7 points down for our trial overall.
The one bright spot is the bookmaker each-way bets, which are still 73 points up overall and had a 66/1 winner last week with John Catlin at the Austrian Open.
The other systems have struggled though, which is not uncommon in golf betting to have long losing runs but it’s hard on subscribers so let’s hope for a turnaround soon.
After a lean spell they had a better week last week, with the Betfair exchange bets hitting Matt Jones to win the Honda Classic at 120 and the bookmaker each-way bets landing Jbe Kruger at the Gauteng Championship at 66/1.
Hopefully that’s a sign of things to come as we head into a big run of golf tournaments including the WGC Matchplay this week and the Masters in just a couple of weeks.
Bookie Insiders Golf Tips originally just provided selections in the top 20 market of golf tournaments, but this year have expanded their offering to include selections in the outright markets, both at the bookmakers and Betfair exchange, so we are proofing each of these models for this review.
Here are the results for each of the options for our trial to date:
It is worth noting that the Betfair exchange and bookmaker bets are different, with the former comprising of a lot more selections than the latter (274 bets compared to 96 bets so far). So you could do these separately if you have the funds available.
Winners already this year include Daniel Berger at Pebble Beach at 16/1, Paul Casey at the Dubai Desert Classic at 18/1, Tyrrell Hatton in Abu Dhabi at 12/1, Kevin Na at the Sony Open at 66/1 and Harris English at the Sentry Tournament of Champions at 33/1.
After a recent survey of members the good news is that they will be soon be adding bets in the top 10 markets, which usually have good liquidity on Betfair, and in Korn Ferry and Ladies’ tour events.
So there is now a huge amount of value in this service for members, who can choose to follow as many (or as few) of these options as they like. Top quality stuff.
Interestingly in addition to the main top 20 bets we have been proofing for the last few months, they have just introduced outright tournament selections to the service as well.
There are both each-way selections to be placed with the bookies and win-only bets to be placed on Betfair. These bets are derived from the same model/algorithm as the main top 20 bets so in theory should have the same value behind them. The idea is to give some alternative options for those who may have been restricted by the bookies on the top 20 bets.
The Betfair exchange bets apparently made over 800 points profit last year to 1 point level stakes, which is obviously pretty incredible. They stress that those results were exceptional though and you wouldn’t expect that level of profit every year of course.
However, the good news is they started off this year with a winner, tipping Harris English at 40.0 and netting 31 points profit on the week.
So we will proof these Betfair bets alongside the main top 20 bets going forward – please see the second tab of our results spreadsheet for those.
There is a warning of high volatility to be expected with these bets as some are at massive odds (400/1+) so strap in for what should be an interesting ride on these ones…
The results at minimum advised odds have also been very impressive, with 39 points profit made since our last update and 82 points profit made for our trial overall. These are the odds you should be able to achieve even if you have been restricted with one or two of the top bookies.
Just a reminder this is a system which bets solely in the top 20 market in golf tournaments, so no win or each-way bets. There are lots of bets each week but once you have placed them that is it for the week and you can just sit back and cheer the bets on – so far with great success!
As well as giving an advised price, they also give a minimum price to back the selections at. Since our last update they have dropped 9 points at minimum prices but are 43 points up for our trial overall.
Just a reminder this is a system which bets solely in the top 20 market in golf tournaments, so no win or each-way bets. It has been working very well so far – let’s hope that continues.
This week is the Masters of course so should be a great watch and some decent value to be had on top 20s with a reduced field.
As well as giving an advised price, they also give a minimum price to back the selections at. The results have also been very good at these minimum advised prices, with a profit of 52 points made for our trial to date.
Just a reminder this is a system which bets solely in the top 20 market of golf tournaments, so no win or each-way bets. It has been working very well so far – let’s hope that continues.
The Bookie Insiders are a team of professional gamblers with previous experience working for some of the top bookmakers (sportsbooks). They provide tips across a number of sports and we recently started a trial of their football service, which has been going very well.
Today we are going to take a look at their golf service, which looks very promising too.
It is a little different to most golf services in that it focuses solely on the Top 20 market rather than the winner of the tournament.
It’s more of a niche approach but can work very well in that it identifies players who may have no realistic chance of actually winning an event, but still consistently play decently and make the top 20. Many of these type of players are the unheralded names who are overlooked by the bookies and punters in general, so there can be value in backing them to make the top 20.
Certainly the published results on the Bookie Insiders website seem to back that up, with over 250 points profit made since starting in May 2019 at an excellent return on investment of 23%.
Their tips cover both the European and PGA Tours and there are typically quite a few selections to back each week. Once you have placed the bets though that is it for the week, so it’s a case of setting aside a bit of time once a week to place the bets but then you are done.
To get the most out of the service they recommend having accounts with at least a few of the following bookies:-
– Bet 365
– Betfair/PP
– Hills
– Bet Victor
– Unibet/888
– Boyles
– Betway
– Spreadex
We note however that they also record results at minimum prices, so it might be possible to follow the service if you are restricted. One of the aspects we will look at is how many of the bets are available at Betfair at the minimum odds or higher.
Anyway, given the excellent results achieved by Bookie Insiders’ football service we are looking forward to testing this service out.
Check back here for updates on how things are going during our trial.
Just a reminder that they tip at Betfair SP, so there is no distinction in this review between results at advised prices and BSP – they are both the same.
Things have yet to get going for this trial but with the flat season about to kick into gear hopefully they will move things forward over the next few months.
Just a reminder that they tip at Betfair SP, so there is no distinction in this review between results at advised prices and BSP – they are both the same.
Now that they have got back to even, let’s hope they can kick on with Cheltenham next week and then the flat season just around the corner.
Just a reminder that they tip at Betfair SP, so there is no distinction in this review between results at advised prices and BSP – they are both the same.
To be fair a lot of tipsters have struggled lately with everything that has been going on and there have been lots of strange results on the horses.
Using a 100 point bank you would only be 12% down which is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but of course it’s tough for subscribers who are looking for profits to be made. Let’s hope that comes soon as the weather improves and form settles down.
Just a reminder that they tip at Betfair SP, so there is no distinction in this review between results at advised prices and BSP – they are both the same.
Just hasn’t quite got going yet this one but we have faith in the Master’s abilities so hopefully won’t be much longer before they move into profit for our re-review.
A good thing about the service now is that they tip at Betfair SP, meaning it’s a viable option for those whose bookie accounts have been restricted. There is no worrying about having to chase prices either, you can just put the bets on BSP and then go about your day.
Anyway, a quiet start as we say but hopefully they will hit some form in December and we’ll have some positive news to report in our next update.
One of the first services we ever reviewed here at Honest Betting Reviews – way back in 2015 – was a service called Master Racing Tipster.
It sailed through our original trial back in 2015 (see below), making over 100 points profit at a very high return on investment. At that time we believed it was a top service and indeed it proved to be so over our extended 20 month proofing period, amassing 361 points profit in that time.
We have continued tracking the service over the years including after it moved home from the Betting Gods tipster platform to Tipping Gurus (and now being named just “Master Racing” for short).
The service has remained one of the very best horse racing tipsters out there, reaching the heady heights of 847 points profit made since they began tipping in 2014.
The return on investment has remained consistently high at over 21%, a rare and impressive achievement over the course of more than six years.
Master Racing has been the model of consistency, as you can see from the profit graph below:
That’s the kind of steady and upward profit graph we love to see!
We have been meaning to take another look at Master Racing for a while now, but the service has recently undergone something of a revamp which piqued our interest further and initiated this re-review.
Basically Master Racing is now providing its selections on the morning of racing rather than the night before and is recording all results to Betfair SP.
That makes it very appealing to the many people who have had their bookie accounts restricted and are just looking for a tipster they can follow on Betfair.
Certainly if the results hold up at BSP it would make Master Racing a very attractive proposition indeed.
Add to that the stellar results so far this year:
– January: +10.8 points
– February: +2.88 points
– March: +17.1 points
– April: 0 points (no racing)
– May: +7 points
– June: -0.5 points
– July: +44.4 points
– August: +22.8 points
– September: +23.1 points
– October: +2.62 points
And it’s one we just can’t resist getting involved with again!
So we are commencing a re-review of the service today under these new parameters and are hopeful we will see its steady and consistent results repeated again under trial conditions. As ever results will be updated here as we go along.
Here at Honest Betting Reviews we don’t believe in trialing a tipster for just three months and then forgetting about them.
We believe in following them for long periods of time, to give as fair and accurate a picture of the tipster’s performance as possible.
For example, we have been proofing the tips of the Master Racing Tipster for over 20 months now, a really good period to be able to judge a tipster.
It is also high time for an update on how things have been going.
Previously, we gave Master Racing Tipster a five star rating after our original three month trial and after six months.
So how have things gone in the intervening 14 months since our last update?
Results Update
Well, we are pleased to report they have gone very well, with another 187 points of profit added to the 174 points made during the first six months we followed the Master.
That means the Master Racing Tipster has made 361 points profit over the 20 months we have followed the tips.
If you had staked at £25 per point, that would have amounted to £9025 profit. Not a bad little second income! 🙂
Here’s a look at the results in graph format:
As you can see, it is an excellent profit graph with steady growth over the course of more than 900 bets placed during the period we have been following the tips.
There was a small decline in the middle as results stagnated for a period, but those who have stuck with the service over the long term have been richly rewarded.
Incredibly, those results have been achieved with a return on investment of over 30%, which is almost unheard of over such a long period and certainly puts the Master Racing Tipster up there with the very best in the industry.
The strike rate has been a healthy 28% as well, so a good proportion of winners.
OVERALL VERDICT:
Master Racing Tipster remains undoubtedly one of the best horse racing tipsters out there and well worthy of a continued 5-star rating.
Few tipsters can perform so consistently over a long period and the Master has done so amazingly well, with over 360 points profit made during the 20 months we have proofed the tips.
If you haven’t added this to your portfolio then we suggest doing so as soon as you can.
We now have over six months of proofed results forMaster Racing Tipsterand are pleased to report that it has continued to perform excellently since the end of our trial in June.
Since the trial concluded on 26th June 2015, they have added another 59 points of profit at advised prices and another 31 points profit at Betfair SP.
That means in total for the six months we have been following them, Master Racing Tipster have made 174 points profit at advised prices and 109 points profit at Betfair SP.
Here is a graph of the profit over the six month period:
As you can see, an excellent profit graph – pretty much all just steady growth with very little drawdown at all.
At advised prices we have had just under 350% bank growth – so if you had started off with a bank of £1,000 it would now be worth £4,500. Very impressive stuff.
And at Betfair SP, whilst the results are somewhat lower, you would still have achieved over 200% bank growth -no mean feat either.
All that has been achieved with a 54% return on investment and a 32% strike rate, which really is fantastic.
Conclusion
Overall we are pleased to say that after six monthsMaster Racing Tipstercontinues to merit a 5 star rating and its place as our number 1 tipster.
Make sure you get on board whilst places are still available.
We have come to the end of our three month trial of Master Racing Tipsterand what can we say apart from…WOW! And we mean WOW!
We thought whenBanker Bets made 95% profit in three months and nearly doubled the bank over the course of the trial, it might never be beaten.
How wrong we were!
Master Racing Tipster has gone and more than trebled the bank in three months! That means if you had started off with £1,000 at the beginning of the trial, you would have £3,300 now.
The service managed a phenomenal 83% return on investment (ROI) over the three months, which we have rarely seen in over a decade of following tipsters.
Sometimes a tipster can rack up impressive profits just by bagging one or two really big priced winners (like a 100/1 shot) that distort their figures and make them look amazing.
That has not been the case here though. The highest price winner was 12/1 and the strike rate was a very healthy 34%, so the service showed an excellent level of consistency.
Here is a graph of the results over the course of the trial:
As you can see, just nice steady profit all the way – a punter’s dream!
You always get a full write-up for the selections which is reassuring and you can see the logic behind the tips.
The service is based on good old fashioned form study and seems to focus on well-handicapped horses – those that have suitable conditions, a jockey claiming a few pounds off, that can be forgiven a recent bad run or a combination of factors meaning they are good value.
The approach certainly worked over our trial anyway! 🙂
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: Good – it’s an easy service to follow as well with just an average of one bet per day so minimal work on your part.
Availability of prices: OK – tips are e-mailed out the evening before racing and you want to get your bets on as quickly as possible. We found that generally you can get close to advised prices if you get your bets on within an hour or so of the tips being sent out.
Sometimes it is difficult because only a couple of bookies will have priced up when bets are sent out, so if that is the case you may want to be a bit careful and not lump on too heavily as bookies don’t like it when big bets are placed as soon as odds are priced up the evening before racing.
If you wait until the next day then generally prices will have fallen quite a bit.
However, they still managed to make 78 points profit at Betfair SP (BSP) which is a very healthy 156% bank growth, so even if you just bet at Betfair SP you should still do nicely.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was very good at 34%, which makes the results look even more impressive because generally you are getting a good ratio of winners so can stake at reasonable levels.
Advised Betting Bank: The advised betting bank is 50 points, which seems fine given the 34% strike rate achieved during our trial and the long-term strike rate of 31%.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are fairly reasonable for a service of this quality with the first month at £1 followed by £59.95 per month, £154.95 per quarter, or £359.95 for life.
Certainly we have seen services with results like this one charge upwards of £1,000 per year, so we think the subscription costs are good value for what you are getting.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
We have no hesitation whatsoever in placing this on ourapproved list– with bells on!
To have more than trebled the bank in three months is amazing stuff.
In total the service has been running for over a year and has racked up over 300 points profit.
Now we can’t verify the results before our trial started but all our experience with having monitored a number of Betting Gods’ services is that their results are fully accurate so we have no reason to doubt the past results.
Our only word of warning is on prices – you may not be able to quite match the advised prices. Even at Betfair SP you would have made 78 points profit though, which is still very impressive.
We would expect in reality you will achieve somewhere between the Betfair SP results and the advised results without too much bother.
So all in all it really has been a fantastic trial and we would advise getting on board whilst you can – there is always a risk with a service as good as this that they have to limit numbers at some point to protect prices, otherwise it could become unworkable.
It’s continued to be a mixed picture for Golf Forecast, with their diversified model having made £224 profit but the ROI model having lost £467 since our last update.
That means the diversified model is now £534 up but the ROI model is £617 down for our trial overall, so a net return of -£83.
You can view full results here. (please note you can see the results for the two approaches plus the past results in the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet)
Just to recap – the diversified model means spreading the risk across more golfers, backing around 20 players per tournament where as the ROI model means backing 4-5 golfers per event.
The aim of the diversified model is to smooth out the ups and downs of golf betting and it certainly seems to be doing that here, with steady progress made throughout our trial so far. That is looking like the model to follow at this point.
It’s been somewhat of a mixed month for Golf Forecast, with their diversified model having made 14 points profit (or £140 to £10 stakes) but the ROI model having lost 39 points (or £390 to £10 stakes) since our last update.
That means the diversified model is now 31 points up but the ROI model is 15 points down for our trial overall, so a net return of +16 points.
You can view full results here. (please note you can see the results for the two approaches plus the past results in the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet)
Just to recap – the diversified model means spreading the risk across more golfers, backing around 20 players per tournament where as the ROI model means backing 4-5 golfers per event.
In theory you might think the diversified model is more risky as you are backing more golfers, but if you are spreading your stake across them in such a way that you are actually betting the same amount as you would backing just five golfers, then in fact is is less risky and should smooth out the ride.
We are seeing that play out already in our review and would expect it to be the case over the long term too.
We are having something of a reboot of our review of Golf Forecast in 2021.
As you may recall, they didn’t perform too well during our trial last year losing 280 points, after having an excellent original trial back in 2016 when they made 172 points.
Such are the ups and downs of golf betting and having long losing runs followed by massive wins (or vice versa) are par for the course, if you’ll excuse the pun.
To counter this they have developed a new “diversified algorithm” which in layman’s terms means backing around 20 golfers per tournament rather than five.
The idea is to spread your stakes across a greater number of golfers to reduce the risk and produce a more consistent return.
At the same time they will still be running their previous model of backing 4-5 golfers per event – this is referred to as their “ROI algorithm” but is higher risk as we say and is more likely to have those big ups and downs.
There is a fuller explanation of the two approaches here:
So we are going to cover both approaches in 2021 and compare how they get on.
So far this year the results have been good for both, with the diversified model having made 17.5 points profit (or £174.70 to £10 stakes) and the ROI model making 24 points profit (or £241 to £10 stakes).
You can view full results here. (please note you can see the results for the two approaches plus the past results in the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet)
The main source of profits has been Harris English who won for both approaches at 30/1 and Kevin Na who won for the diversified approach at 60/1.
It will be interesting to see how that approach gets on and if it can smooth out some of the big swings normally seen with golf services.
They also have a separate strategy known as the “diversifying algorithm” (nothing to do with spread betting as we previously thought) which backs a lot more golfers each week (e.g. 15-20 per tournament). The idea is to reduce risk and smooth the curve as it were. We have been keeping an eye on that strategy and since it was introduced in mid-September it has made around 90 points profit, so quite a lot better than the main strategy.
Hopefully the main strategy can get back on track again soon – a big winner would certainly help!
We mentioned last time their new spread betting algorithm, which uses spread betting prices to help guide selections, but you still bet in the fixed odds markets with the bookies. Well the spread betting algorithm managed to pick out both winners last week – Jason Kokrak at 100/1 and Adrian Otaegui at 66/1, so seems to be working well. Although it does involve backing 15-20 players per tournament so is obviously more likely to pick out winners than backing 5-6 players per tournament.
Anyway, we will try to have a look at getting the results together for the spread betting algorithm and hopefully including those in future updates.
As we mentioned last time, it is worth bearing in mind that this service uses very high staking, with up to 14 points (7pts e/w) per bet recommended. So it looks a lot worse than if they were using 1 point e/w stakes for example.
Interestingly they have introduced a new “spread betting algorithm,” which as we understand it uses spread betting prices to help guide the algorithm, but you still bet in the fixed odds markets with the bookies.
The spread betting model has apparently produced a much smoother profit with less volatility though, which would be welcome, but involves backing a lot more players each week. We will keep an eye on that to see how it gets on anyway.
One of the reasons for the large drawdown lately is the high staking used, with up to 14 points (7pts e/w) per bet recommended. So it can really add up quickly when you hit a losing run.
As we always say with golf services however, just one winner can turn everything around when you are tipping at odds of up to 150/1. So let’s just hope they hit one of those soon.
They were quite unlucky with one of the their picks for the RBC Heritage, Abraham Ancer, who came up just short at 60/1 after Webb Simpson finished with a rash of birdies to deny him the title. That still resulted in a placed finish though and a nice profit of 33 points on Ancer.
With golf back in full swing now (if you’ll excuse the pun) and the European Tour back in action again it should be full steam ahead for the next few months.
It’s been a positive start to our re-review of Golf Forecast, with a profit of 37 points made so far after just over one month of following the selections.
There is a slight difference between our results and their published results as they had Lee Westwood placed at the Honda Classic where as we did not. The reason for that is the forecast table, and thus the tips, can be recalculated up until midnight on Wednesday. However, they send the tips email out on Tuesday morning. As such it’s possible that the bookies’ odds move and so their algorithm’s tips could change in that time. i.e. one of the previously tipped player’s odds shortened and Lee’s odd’s drifted, therefore Lee was better value.
We will stick with the tips we receive in the e-mail on Tuesday as our official results, although if you are member you are of course able to keep checking up until midnight on Wednesday to see if there are any further selections.
Anyway, either way it’s been a good start and the highlight was definitely Sungjae Im at the Honda Classic who they had a maximum five point each-way bet on at 33/1, which brought in 180 points profit.
Obviously now with the coronavirus golf is on hold for the time being and it looks like we may not get any more events until July. The Masters and PGA Championship have been postponed and no decision has been taken on the US Open yet, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that can go ahead at least.
Just over three years ago we did a review of a golf betting service called Golf Forecast (see below).
This service is a little different from most golf services however as it is not a “tipster” as such but instead finds its selections via an algorithm. This algorithm is based on the Shotlink data that compiles a huge array of stats on each player and the strengths and weaknesses of their game.
Where the bookies’ odds are significantly above what the algorithm shows they should be based on that data, the player then becomes a bet.
The algorithm also apparently uses machine learning to update itself and improve in light of new data.
The results during our original review back in 2016 were excellent, with a profit of 172 points made during our seven month trial.
Since then they have apparently also done extremely well, with over 700 points profit made at an ROI of over 35% – although we weren’t able to fully proof those results.
So we thought it would be well worth checking out the service again and seeing if it can continue the excellent results under a live trial – when we do proof the results.
As ever with golf services, beware the potential of long losing streaks as there was a drawdown of around 400 points in 2018-2019, so clearly a very big bank is required here (perhaps 1,000 points).
However, when the winners come along they can be massive, with 100/1+ winners having been landed before.
Let’s hope for more of the latter rather than the former during our re-review in any event. We will record results here periodically during our re-review.
Golf Forecast is a service that uses a complex algorithm to generate each-way selections for each week’s tournaments.
Their approach is an interesting one – basically they say that “no one really knows who is going to win any golf tournament.” What they can do though, using their algorithm, is find selections who offer value for the punter.
The algorithm is based on the Shotlink data that compiles a huge array of stats on each player and the strengths and weaknesses of their game. It then apparently uses machine learning to update itself and improve in light of new data.
We have written before on this website that we strongly believe computing power will be the future of betting and will become more and more sophisticated in the coming years.
So the question is, how well did the system work during our trial?
The answer is – pretty darn well!
Yes, we made 172 points profit during the trial, which was an astonishing 102% return on investment!
That is the highest we have ever recorded over a whole trial.
Now it is worth pointing out, as is nearly always the case with golf tipsters, that the results fluctuate wildly based on just one or two big priced winners.
For example, Thorbjorn Olesen winning the Turkish Open at 150/1 brought in a massive 188 points of profit. Without add, the trial would have actually finished in a loss.
Here are the results for the trial in graph format:
Things were bobbing along fairly steadily for most of the trial before a massive jump at the end.
As we say though, that is the way of things with golf betting – long losing streaks followed by big wins (hopefully!)
The only disappointing thing about the trial was that we had problems generating the selections early on in the trial (something wrong with the website apparently) and then later on there were problems accessing the website at all because the security certificate wasn’t up to date.
It is a shame there were those problems as the results were so good, no doubt people have been put off by those issues.
But presuming these technical issues can be ironed out, we are happy to give Golf Forecast a recommended rating and think there are definitely on to something with their algorithm-based approach. We feel it also warrants a place in our list of the best golf tipsters.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: You have to log in to the website to find the selections and it can be a little cumbersome as you often need to click on the “forecasts” first before you click on the tips. Anyway, with only one to two tournaments per week, it is a pretty low workload overall.
Availability of prices: They don’t actually quote prices as such, but we recorded the best price available from the main bookmakers on Oddschecker on a Wednesday.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 12%, which is pretty standard for golf and means you will need a large betting bank and quite a bit of patience when following the service.
Advised Betting Bank: There was no betting bank advised, but we used a 300 point bank, which was never in danger during the trial.
Subscription costs: Subscription costs are an incredibly low £1.99/month, £6.99/year or £22.99/lifetime.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Golf Forecast is an innovative betting service that uses an algorithm to generate selections.
It performed very well during our extended seven month trial, generating over 170 points profit at a return on investment of over 100%.
There were a couple of technical issues with the website which was a shame as otherwise this looks to be a high quality service.
Certainly when you bear in mind how cheap it is at just £22.99 for a lifetime subscription, then there is a lot to like about Golf Forecast.
Presuming the technical issues have been ironed out, we are happy to give it a recommended rating and will watch its progress with interest.
The Golf Forecast website is still having problems with its security certificate, which is a shame because if you had been able to access their tips then you would have landed at 150/1 winner today in the shape of Thorbjorn Olesen at the Turkish Airlines Open.
That takes them to 173 points up for our trial overall.
This shows once again in golf betting how one winner can make such a huge difference.
We hope that they do sort out their security certificate soon so that the website is readily accessible as it seems like they have a decent betting service here.
Things have moved on steadily for Golf Forecast, who have made 24 points profit since our last update to sit at 32 points in profit for the trial overall.
They had a good winner in the shape of Henrik Stenson at the BMW International Open at 10/1 and a good place finish on Ben Martin last week at the John Deere Classic at 125/1.
The only problem we have had so far is that the website does not always update to show you the week’s tips.
That may be because there aren’t any or may be because the system isn’t working properly, but it would be good to know either way and it might be an idea for them to supply the tips by e-mail in future to avoid such issues.
As is normally the case with golf betting, you often go a long time without a winner and need a lot of patience during these periods.
This has been the case here and although we haven’t had a winner yet, we have had a few good placed finishes, most notably Ken Duke at the Players Championship at 50/1 for the place (200/1 for the win).
There were unfortunately some teething problems with the website and some weeks we had trouble finding the tips for the tournaments, but thankfully these issues appear to have been sorted now.
Hopefully we will hit a winner soon, but in the meantime they have done well to be in profit so far.
As mentioned last time, the staking is inflated at 5 points on every selection, so in reality they would be just over 5 points up at one point level stakes.
Still, it’s been good to witness the fightback here to get themselves into the green so let’s see if that continues.
As mentioned last time, the staking is inflated at 5 points on every selection. This is actually doing them a disservice at the moment, as at 1 point stakes they would only be 6 points down, which isn’t too bad in the grand scheme of things.
Hopefully this will be a lesson to this and other services that unnecessarily inflate their staking to make their results look better that it can also go the other way and make your results look worse. Stick to one point staking and everyone is happy.
There are a few things that have given us concerns about this service.
Firstly, there have been quite a few instances of the website not working and we know a number of you have found this issue as well, with just a blank screen appearing and nothing happening. Sometimes it can be worth trying it in a different browser if you are getting this issue.
Secondly, the headline on the website states: “Football expert reveals secret goal betting system that makes £24,367 in 7 months,” but we are yet to have any “secret system” revealed to us. So far it’s just a straightforward tipster service offering tips on the BTS, over/under and Asian handicap markets.
And thirdly they stake 5 points on every selection. This is a real bugbear of ours when tipsters do this as it just looks like they are trying to inflate their results. Why not just stake 1 point on every selection? Essentially you need to divide the total by five to give a proper reflection of their results.
Anyway, these niggles of ours could recede somewhat if results were to improve so let’s see if that happens over the next month or two.
Today we are starting a new review of a football betting strategy called the Goal King.
It has been designed by a guy called Steve Hudson who claims to have made £20,337 profit from it in 7 months, with a 64% win rate and 19.04% ROI.
Every month has apparently been profitable with the longest losing run being just 5 bets. And you can start with just £10.
We will be running a live trial of Goal King at Honest Betting Reviews and are quite intrigued by this one. It claims to have found a “secret goal betting system” which sounds interesting.
As ever the proof of the pudding will be in the eating though!
