Net Gains Football – Results Update

/0 Comments

Our trial of footy tipster Net Gains Football is off to a good start, with a profit of 4 points made for our trial to date after two months.

You can view full results here.

The service covers the English football leagues, from the Premier League down to Leagues 1 and 2 and the National League.

All the bets so far have been goals-related – either over/under goals bets or both teams to score. 

It’s rare to find a good football tipster so fingers crossed this one continues its good form.

Net Gains Football – New Review

7th December 2025

We’re starting a new review today of a football-betting service called Net Gains Football — a tipster offering from the stable of Matthew Walton.

Regular followers of us here at Honest Betting Reviews will know we are big fans of Matthew’s stable, as it contains some top-class services such as Scottish Confidential, the Golf Insider and the Irish Cash Consortium.

So when Matthew got in touch about his latest footy offering we were keen to check it out.  

On the promotional pitch on the official sales page, Net Gains Football promises to exploit big data and modern analytics to turn what used to be guesswork into what the author claims is an exact science of football betting. 

The backstory given is compelling: Walton says he unearthed this service after a drawn-out internal search dating back years.

He claims that after months of real-time testing — analysing hundreds of bets across English football — the results have shown a high strike rate and very strong return on investment (ROI). 

On paper, the numbers look very strong — the sales page mentions a 60%+ strike rate and returns “in excess of 20% ROI,” largely covering markets such as Both Teams To Score (BTTS) and Over/Under Goals.

The service covers the English football leagues, from the Premier League down to Leagues 1 and 2.

We’ve accepted the tipster on trial and will record every single tip and result exactly as provided, at real-market prices — the same method used by our other reviews. 

As ever, we are keen to uncover a profitable footy tipster as they are few and far between, so will watch this review with interest. 

We’ll record results here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on.

In the meantime you can check out Net Gains Football for yourself here.

 

Most Tipped Charts (Via Golf Tips Checker) – Update

/0 Comments

UPDATE: PLEASE NOTE – The review below which we carried out in 2023 is based on the Most Tipped Charts, which are provided via Golf Tips Checker’s Twitter (now X) feed.

These are an amalgamation of golf betting tips from over 150 tipsters, to find the players that have been tipped the most across all those tipsters.

These are not advised bets and are separate from Golf Tips Checker’s own tipping service, which are their personal selections posted to a community of subscribers, complete with advised bets, points allocation, and full profit/loss tracking. 

Those tips have made an impressive 400 points profit from launching in 2024 (just after our review of the Most Tipped Charts concluded) to the end of 2025.

That has been achieved with an excellent 37% ROI, so are well worth checking out by the looks of those results (although we have not proofed those tips yet). 

The Most Tipped Charts by contrast are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only, to give an overview of where the golf betting community is leaning each week, but Golf Tips Checker say should not be viewed as advised bets.

Most Tipped Charts (via Golf Tips Checker) – Full Review

 

The Most Tipped Charts (via Golf Tips Checker) bring together golf betting tips from over 150 sources (i.e. tipsters) and finds the players that have been tipped the most across all those tipsters.  

They then publish the most popular tips in the handy form of a pie chart – which you can view on the website or on their Twitter here.

This is an example of their charts:

So you can see at a glance who the most tipped players are for an upcoming PGA Tour or DP World Tour event. 

It’s kind of a betting interpretation of the “wisdom of crowds” –  a novel theory popularised in this book by James Surowiecki.

Now not all the tipsters will be good of course, but the idea is that with over 150 experts and proven specialists with track records included, you should get a good deal of valuable knowledge in there.

We tracked the tips for over 15 months which gave us a very healthy sample size of 792 bets. 

Sadly in that time the tips didn’t deliver the results hoped for, with a loss of 122 points made at the end of our trial. 

That was achieved with a strike rate of 14% (including placed golfers) and a return on investment of minus 8%. 

So whilst this is a very interesting idea in theory and one we would have liked to see succeed, unfortunately it just hasn’t quite worked out in practice.

Ultimately it looks like you are still better off focusing on one or two top tipsters with proven track records like the Golf Insider of Ben Coley.

Perhaps there is just too much “chaff” in there amongst the 150 tipsters and not enough “wheat.”

Credit to the Golf Tips Checker service for tracking, posting and collating all those tipsters though. It is no easy feat and worthy of praise to do that for free. It should be noted these are not “advised bets” as such. 

The information can also be used to identify promising individual tipsters who crop up in their Twitter feeds, so there are other potential benefits to it. 

So we certainly wouldn’t want to knock their efforts nor to suggest Golf Tips Checker are not worth a follow in general.

[UPDATE 04.02.06 – In fact, their own advised bets look very strong with over 400 points profit made to date according to their published results].

In terms of following the “most tipped players” charts though, it just didn’t work out for us during the course of our trial so that aspect has to go down as a failed rating sadly. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections can be found via their Twitter feed or website. They tend to post the “most tipped” pie charts on Tuesday with a reminder on Wednesday, leaving plenty of time to get the bets on. With around 10-15 bets per week on average it’s a pretty standard workload for a golf service. 

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice any discernible impact on prices after tips were posted.

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was quite low at 14% (including placed golfers), and would need to be higher to generate a consistent profit. 

Advised Betting Bank: No bank is recommended for the service, but we used a 200 point bank for the purposes of our trial. As 60% of that bank was lost during the trial, a 300-400 point bank may be more advisable here to be on the safe side. 

Subscription costs: The tips are free to follow on the Golf Tips Checker Twitter (now X) and website. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

The Most Tipped Charts (via Golf Tips Checker) bring together golf betting tips from over 150 sources (i.e. tipsters) and finds the players that have been tipped the most across all those tipsters.  

They then publish the most popular tips in the handy form of a pie chart. It is a golf tipping version of the “wisdom of crowds.” 

We were intrigued by the idea and whether it could work in practice but sadly at the end of a 15 month trial it just didn’t produce the hoped-for results with a loss of 122 points made. 

However, the Golf Tips Checker service deserves credit for tracking and amalgamating all the information, which can prove useful in other ways – for example in identifying promising individual tipsters. So hats off to them for that.

Just shows once again how up and down golf betting can be and the importance of having a large betting bank and lots of patience.

In any event, as we move into the start of the 2023 with the first event of the year, the Sentry Tournament of Champions, being played this week hopefully they can move things into the green soon.

The Most Tipped Charts (via Golf Tips Checker) – New Review

30th August 2022

We are starting a new review of something a little bit different today…

Whilst we normally look at individual tipsters and betting systems, this time we are going to be looking at a slightly different approach. 

The service we are looking at today is actually an amalgamation of tipsters.

It’s called The Most Tipped Charts (via Golf Tips Checker) and it brings together golf betting tips from over 160 sources (i.e. tipsters) and finds the players that have been tipped the most across all those tipsters.  

They then publish the most popular tips in the handy form of a pie chart – which you can view on the website or on their Twitter here.

For example this was from last week from the two main events on the PGA and DP World Tours – the Tour Championship and Omega European Masters:

So you can see at a glance who the most popular players that have been tipped are (and last week they had a winner with Rory McIlroy plus some placed finished with Im, Xander and Rozner). 

It’s kind of a betting interpretation of the “wisdom of crowds” –  a novel theory popularised in this book by James Surowiecki.

Now not all the tipsters will be good of course, but the idea is that with over 160 experts and proven specialists with track records included, you should get a good deal of valuable knowledge in there.

Will it work though? Well, they have apparently had 17 winning weeks out of 20 since starting up in May. Although it’s a small sample size, it does show some promise. 

In addition to the pie charts for the most tipped players, they also have a premium option for the first round leader (FRL) and early access to the most tipped players from £2.50 per month + VAT. 

So will be interesting to see how this one gets on. As we say, it’s something different and a bit of fun in one sense but also looks like it could be quite effective on the other hand. 

As usual we will update results here as we go along so you can see how the amalgamated tips are getting on.

Raid The Sand Syndicate – New Review

1st August 2025

We are starting a new review today of a horse racing service called Raid The Sand Syndicate. 

This comes from the Matthew Walton stable of tipsters, which has provided us with such luminaries as the Golf Insider, Racing Intelligence and the Irish Cash Consortium, all of which have passed reviews here at HBR.

Matthew has a keen eye for tipping talent so we always take note when he brings another tipster in to his stable.  

Raid The Sand Syndicate is an all-weather specialist who has over 20 years experience of picking horse racing winners.

The return on investment (ROI) since the service started is apparently over 25% which is very impressive. 

Equally noteworthy is the strike rate, which stands at 40% to date. 

So the combined stats for ROI and strike rate would make this a very strong performer if they could be repeated in the long run.

As ever we will reserve judgement until our review is completed, but given Mr Walton’s history of picking top-class tipping talent we are hopeful at least this one might be a goodun’.

We started receiving tips on 3rd June so we will record results from then. Inevitably with it being the summer, most flat horse racing is on the turf rather than the dirt so the action will be a little light until the all-weather season kicks in again in the autumn. 

We will continue recording results anyway for the tips that are posted and will update things here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out Raid The Sand Syndicate for yourself here.

Over Under Tipster – New Review

21st June 2025

When it comes to football betting, few markets are as popular—or as liquid—as the over/under goals markets.

That’s where the Over Under Tipster from Betting Gods steps in, targeting value in the goals markets across Europe’s top leagues. 

If you’re not familiar with over/under goals betting in football, you can check out our full guide here.

We’ve seen plenty of football tipsters come and go over the years—some who hit the back of the net regularly, and others who couldn’t find value if it was staring them in the face.

So naturally, we were keen to put this one to the test and see if it lives up to the results achieved so far.

Those numbers look pretty impressive:

  • 🟢 ROI (Return on Investment): 20.9% – an impressive return that suggests solid profitability in the long run
  • 🎯 Strike Rate (Win Rate): 59.5% – winning more than half of all tips, which beats typical expectations for this market 
  • 📈 Total Tips Issued: 331 – a robust sample size, offering a meaningful glimpse into longer-term performance.

So far, the tipster has delivered nearly 60% winners at odds that deliver a healthy ROI above 20%—a combination that’s quite rare in football markets.

Every month so far has been profitable, which is a very good sign and the kind of consistency we look for in a tipster.

In this review, we’ll assess:

  • How reliable these results look over time
  • Whether the odds are achievable in practice
  • The staking plan behind the service
  • The volume of bets and how manageable it is for subscribers

We’ll see over the course of our review whether The Over Under Tipster is a keeper—or one to keep your distance from.

Results will be updated here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on.

In the meantime you can check out the Over Under Tipster for yourself here.

Trade on Sports’ “Pinny Bot” – Results Update

/0 Comments

There has been a slight dip for football betting system Trade On Sports‘ Pinny Bot lately, with a loss of 7 points made from laying the specified team since our last update.

That means it is now 28 points down for laying the specified team for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

However, the results for backing the draw have performed better, with a profit of 7 points made since our last update, meaning they are now 7 points up for our trial overall for backing the draw.

So backing the draw is now doing 35 points better than laying the specified team. 

Just a reminder this is a football betting system that identifies instances where the Betfair price of a team is above the Pinnacle (“Pinny”) price. 

When such instances are found, the bot alerts you via the Telegram app and you place a bet on the Betfair exchange. You do NOT need Pinnacle to use this strategy.

The main results above are for laying the opponent of the team named by the bot. 

E.g. A match-up of Liverpool v Arsenal

  • The bot highlights Liverpool as value
  • You would lay Arsenal (or back the draw)

There are other possible ways of using the bot suggested by Trade On Sports (TOS) – for example splitting the stake between backing the draw and laying the opponent of the named team, or backing 1-1 and 2-2 etc. 

Just a reminder that Trade On Sports have published a blogpost explaining why they recommend subscribers cover a part of the draw with the Pinny Bot and they also put forward various staking systems, which is worth a read.

That means it is now 20 points down for laying the specified team for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

However, the results for backing the draw have been much better, with a profit of 15 points made since our last update, meaning they are now 20 points up for our trial overall for backing the draw.

So backing the draw is now doing 40 points better than laying the specified team. 

Just a reminder this is a football betting system that identifies instances where the Betfair price of a team is above the Pinnacle (“Pinny”) price. 

When such instances are found, the bot alerts you via the Telegram app and you place a bet on the Betfair exchange. You do NOT need Pinnacle to use this strategy.

The main results above are for laying the opponent of the team named by the bot. 

E.g. A match-up of Liverpool v Arsenal

  • The bot highlights Liverpool as value
  • You would lay Arsenal (or back the draw)

There are other possible ways of using the bot suggested by Trade On Sports (TOS) – for example splitting the stake between backing the draw and laying the opponent of the named team, or backing 1-1 and 2-2 etc. 

Just a reminder that Trade On Sports have published a blogpost explaining why they recommend subscribers cover a part of the draw with the Pinny Bot and they also put forward various staking systems, which is worth a read.

4th June 2025

A small drop to finish the season for football betting system Trade On Sports‘ Pinny Bot, with a loss of 5 points made from laying the specified team since our last update.

We have been tracking the results for backing the draw and there is no change since our last update, meaning they are still 10 points up for our trial overall.

So backing the draw has ended up outperforming laying the opponent in the first season of our trial. 

Based on last year we would expect this to go a little quiet now over the Summer as the bot does mainly focus on the big European leagues but we will keep an eye on things and update results as appropriate over the next couple of months. 

In the meantime, a reminder that Trade On Sports have published a blogpost explaining why they recommend subscribers cover a part of the draw with the Pinny Bot and they also put forward various staking systems, which is worth a read.

Trade On Sports’ Pinny Bot – Results Update

Just a slight dip for football betting system Trade On Sports‘ Pinny Bot lately, with a loss of 2 points made since our last update.

Trade On Sports’ Pinny Bot – Results Update

There’s been something of a reversal in fortunes for football betting system Trade On Sports‘ Pinny Bot lately, with a loss of 16 points made since our last update.

So both approaches are faring similarly at the moment, having suffered a recent drop after a promising start to our trial.

Trade On Sports’ Pinny Bot – Results Update

9th January 2025

Things have been moving along nicely for football betting system Trade On Sports‘ Pinny Bot, with a profit of 14.62 points made since our last update.

We have been tracking the results for backing the draw since our last update and it is 12 points up since our last update.

So following TOS’s advice of splitting the stake between 0.8 points on the lay and 0.2 points on the draw options would give 14.09 points profit since our last update. 

Very similar then to the results for just laying. 

We don’t see why there should be any particular advantage in backing the draw for these selections, unless there is an expectation of an anomalously high number of draws. 

As we understand the system though there is no reason to expect this – in essence it is just about taking advantage of instances where the Betfair odds are above the Pinnacle odds and the value that may come from that.

For interest’s sake we have also tracked the results of backing the team named by the bot. Those are not stacking up so well to date however, with a loss of 17 points made for our trial so far using that method.  

So it looks like sticking to the advised approach of laying the opponent is the way to go.

Trade On Sports’ Pinny Bot – New Review 

21st October 2024

We are starting a new review today of a football betting system from Trade on Sports called the “Pinny Bot.”

Trade on Sports is a service we reviewed a few years ago and gave a PASSED rating to after it delivered excellent profits during our trial, particular their HT Overs bot.

The service covers a range of sports including football, tennis, cricket and US sports. 

They provide a whole host of different strategies and systems for betting, including both pre-match and in-play strategies. 

There’s a huge amount on offer as part of the service, but there is one system we want to look at in particular because it’s showing a lot of promise and that is something called the “Pinny Bot.” 

In essence this is a football betting system that identifies instances where the Betfair price of a team is above the Pinnacle (“Pinny”) price. 

When such instances are found, the bot alerts you via the Telegram app and you can place a bet – on the Betfair exchange that is. You do NOT need Pinnacle to use this strategy, nor any other on Trade on Sports. All the strategies are for using on Betfair.  

The thinking behind this strategy appears similar to that of another service we have reviewed, Trademate Sports, in aiming to take advantage of price information from the “sharp” bookmakers like Pinnacle. 

These sharp bookies are viewed as much more reflective of the real betting action as they don’t limit accounts as much as the “soft” bookies (who are mainly based here in the UK) and therefore attract serious, professional money. 

So if you can get better odds on Betfair than those available on Pinnacle, the theory is you should be getting value. 

It also looks at discrepancies in the amounts matched versus what would be expected given the odds.

The bot only deals with the big European leagues so we are talking about proper liquidity in the tens of thousands here and not just random price fluctuations in minor markets. 

You can view a fuller explanation of the Pinny Bot from Trade on Sports themselves here:

Results so far have been very promising, with 43 points profit made in total from backing the recommended selections. 

However, the profit has stalled out a little this year, with 4 points profit made in 2024 so far and most of the profit made before that. 

Where the selections have really excelled more recently though is by laying the opposing team from the one recommend by the bot. 

So if Liverpool were playing Chelsea and the bot highlighted Liverpool to back for example, you would lay Chelsea. 

Following the selections that way would have made 67 points profit just this year. 

That’s a very high level of profit for 1 point lay bets and it has been very consistent throughout the year. 

The beauty of this system is it operates exclusively on Betfair and in high liquidity markets, so no worries about bookie account restrictions.

Another option is just to use the selections for trading purposes, with the expectation that the Betfair price should come in a bit before kick-off. 

So all in all the Pinny Bot looks pretty exciting and we are looking forward to testing it out. 

We started receiving the selections on 12th October so will record results from then. Results will be updated here as usual as we go along. 

In the meantime you can check out Trade on Sports for yourself here.

(Just to note that the Pinny Bot is available under the “Football Gold” subscription).

FormHorse Select – Results Update

/0 Comments

It’s been a slow start to our trial of horse racing tipster FormHorse Select, with a loss of 21 points made for our trial to date. 

You can view full results here.

This is a service that recommends bets at Betfair SP so there are no separate advised price/BSP results.

We like that the tipster provides detailed write-ups for his tips and clearly puts a lot of thinking into them.

So far that is not translating into results but it is still early days in our review so plenty of time to turn things around.

FormHorse Select – New Review

15th December 2025

Horse racing is one of the most competitive and data-driven betting markets around, and finding a tipping service that genuinely delivers long-term value isn’t easy.

That’s exactly why FormHorse Select has started to attract attention among UK punters — it promises a very clear edge in the racing markets, backed by verified results published ahead of racing and tracked at Betfair Starting Price (BSP). 

Launched by Paul Slattery — a lifelong punter who cut his teeth in the bookmaking world and later went on to win the On Course Profits tipster competition — the service aims to bring disciplined, form-based selections to paying subscribers on a daily basis.

Paul’s approach is rooted in years of hands-on experience studying horses, courses and race dynamics, and he’s open about the evolution of his methods and what he looks for when filtering races. 

According to the results on the FormHorse Select website, they have recorded a profit of 86 points so far, at a strike rate of 60% and with a return on investment (ROI) of 22%, which are highly commendable figures.

That is all at Betfair SP aswell, which makes the results even more impressive. 

The service is attracting quite a bit of attention, understandably given the results achieved to date so we are intrigued to check this one out and see if Paul can continue delivering such strong results.

We started receiving tips on 29th November so will records results from then. We will publish results here as we go along as usual, so you can see for yourself how they are getting on. 

In the meantime, you can check out FormHorse Select here.

 

Entertainment Odds – Results Update

/0 Comments

There have been further gains for TV and specials betting service Entertainment Odds lately, with a profit of 5 points made at advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 25 points up at advised prices for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

That now wraps up the Autumn phase of the service, which took in Strictly Come Dancing (where most of the bets were), I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Sports Personality of the Year and the Mercury Music Prize.

Being part of this service has not just been profitable but also an education. You can’t quite watch these shows in the same way after reading Rob’s commentary and seeing how manipulated they are! 

In any event, it’s all entertainment one way or another and there’s also some enjoyment to be had in understanding how the producers of these shows try to push things in a certain direction but that it doesn’t always work out the way they intend…

With events all done and dusted now for 2025, the next phase of Entertainment Odds’ service takes in the Eurovision Song Contest, as well as all the main film, TV and music Awards events in 2026.

That includes the Golden Globes on January 11, followed by the Grammys 2026 on February 1, BAFTAs on February 22, Oscars March 15, and then it will be main event of Eurovision 2026 on May 12, 14 & 16.

Subscriptions are available now at the Entertainment Odds website and are well worth it on the basis of what we’ve seen so far.

NYE 2025

Well that just about wraps things up for 2025 so we want to thank you for visiting Honest Betting Reviews this year and for being part of the community. 

We hope you have a good New Years Eve however you are celebrating (or not at all as may be the case!) and will be in touch again with plenty of betting reviews, news and views in 2026.

Entertainment Odds – Results Update

12th November 2025

It’s been a strong start to our trial of TV and specials betting service Entertainment Odds, with a profit of 20 points made for our trial to date at advised prices.

You can view full results here.

There have been a few nice winners so far in the form of Mercury Music Prize winner Sam Fender at 16/1 and two Strictly eliminations at odds of 9/1 and 10/1. 

Quite a lot of the advised bets so far are still ongoing as they are on the winner of Strictly Come Dancing, which we won’t find out until December.

The quality of the write-ups that accompany the tips is excellent and you also get regular updates throughout the week on anything that has caught Rob’s eye. 

He clearly has exceptional knowledge of these events and a keen sense of cutting through the BS and seeing what is really going on.

It has been an eye-opener to understand how much of these events are not “rigged” as such, but certainly pushed in a certain direction by the producers etc to try and achieve a desired outcome.

Just a word on the availability of odds too given these are generally low-liquidity events – it has been a little mixed in our experience so far.

In some cases we have been able to achieve the advised odds – for example the recent 9/1 on Ellie to be eliminated, but in others such as Sam Fender we had to take a few points below the advised price. 

It’s one of these situations where you have to try and maximise the use of bookies and exchanges and take the best prices you can, whilst accepting you may not quite match the advised odds but still hopefully make a healthy profit.

Overall it’s been a good trial so far though and we are enjoying an insight into the murky world of entertainment…

Entertainment Odds – New Review

10th September 2025

Today we are starting a trial of something a little bit different here at Honest Betting Reviews…

Whilst our bread and butter tends to be tipsters in sports like football, horse racing and golf, we do like to venture into other arenas where we see the potential for profit.

And the service we are looking at today is certainly one that ticks that box!

It is called Entertainment Odds and specialises in betting markets on TV events like the Eurovision Song Contest and Strictly Come Dancing as well as awards ceremonies like the Emmys and Oscars.

The site is run by a guy called Rob Furber who is a journalist by trade, writing for some of the UK’s most well-known sites including The Sporting Life, the Daily Telegraph, Britain’s number one women’s magazine, Glamour, and men’s lifestyle magazines Arena and Maxim.

Rob’s keen eye for value in the TV betting markets started in 2005 when he picked Darren Gough to win Strictly at odds of 25/1 and he has never looked back since. He is now a professional trader specialising in TV markets, as well as continuing his journalism work.

If you want to read more about Rob’s remarkable story, he has just published a book about his journey as a pro trader – and another “gamble” he took in his love life – that is well worth a read. 

Rob’s record in the arena of entertainment betting is second to none, with a profit of +1,019pts made to 1pt level stakes since 2014.

His particular specialisms are the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) and Strictly Come Dancing, with a very consistent record in both over the years:

ESC 2014 = +84pts
ESC 2015 = +90pts (& +15pts, non-subscription) = +105pts
ESC 2016 = +55pts (ROI 30%)
ESC 2017 = +73pts
ESC 2018 = -49pts
ESC 2019 = +58pt (ROI 62%)
ESC 2020 = void
ESC 2021 = +26pts
ESC 2022 = +53pts
ESC 2023 = +67pts
ESC 2024 = +56pts
ESC 2025 = +14pts

Strictly 2014 = +41pts
Strictly 2015 = +73pts
Strictly 2016 = +82pts (ROI 84%)
Strictly 2017 = +26pts
Strictly 2018 = -2pts
Strictly 2019 = +140pts (ROI 97%)
Strictly 2020 = +8pts
Strictly 2021 = +53pts
Strictly 2022 = +52pts
Strictly 2023 = +1.5pts
Strictly 2024 = +67pts (ROI 64%)

As you can see, only one losing year in both and many years of huge profits.

We often say it’s in niche markets that you can find the most value and exploit bookie weaknesses and Rob certainly seems to have done that here over the years.

It looks like a really interesting service and one we are looking forward to reviewing.

We have just received the initial bets for Strictly so it will be intriguing to see how this year’s series unfolds. There are also some bets for the Emmys that have just been sent too.

As ever we will post result updates here as we go along but you can check out Entertainment Odds for yourself here. 

 

Top 3 Tipsters of 2025

/0 Comments

As the year draws to a close, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at our Top Tipsters of 2025.

It’s been a year packed with unforgettable sporting moments that will live long in the memory.

From Rory McIlroy finally completing the career Grand Slam with an emotional victory at The Masters, to England’s Lionesses once again conquering Europe with a triumphant Euros campaign, it’s been a year of high drama and plenty of talking points.

Add to that Europe reclaiming the Ryder Cup in a fiercely contested showdown, along with countless twists across football leagues, major race meetings and championship fights, and it’s been a vintage year for fans and sports bettors alike.

Against that backdrop, we’ve taken the opportunity to look back at which tipping services genuinely delivered in 2025.

We think it’s important to firstly say that in compiling this list we’ve had a look not just at headline profit numbers but how obtainable prices are.

As we mentioned right at the start of the year, price availability was going to be a key focus of ours going forward as there’s no point a tipster talking about making “hundreds of points in profit” if you can’t actually achieve that in reality.

It’s also important to look at the strike rate and ROI (return on investment), to give fair comparisons between services and get a sense of winning rates and the rates of return on money risked.

With that in mind then, let’s take a look at the top tipsters of 2025…

The Contenders

Originally we had wanted to make this list just a top 3, but that proved more difficult than expected!

In a good way though – there have actually been a number of really strong performers this year so whittling it down to just three has been quite tough.

So we wanted to highlight some of the services who nearly made it onto the podium and are definitely worthy of an honourable mention before moving on to the top three.

That being said, who has performed strongly enough to make it into our contenders list?

Premium Boxing Tips

Well first up we have a service that is one of the most consistent we have come across.

Just year after year of cranking out the profits – and 2025 was no exception.

The service in question is Premium Boxing Tips.

Run by a chap called Greg, this is a long-time favourite of ours and one we originally reviewed way back in 2019. 

It is pretty simple to follow with just a few bets a week normally.

This year it made a very healthy profit of 38 points, achieved at an ROI of 9.45%.

The stand out stat though is the strike rate, which was an excellent 70% this year.

This is high win-rate service, tipping largely at odds-on.

So it means lots of winners with losing streaks normally short, which is what we like to see!

And 2025 was just another in a long line of profitable years – in fact every year since the service launched has been in the plus column:

2024: +62.03 units (11.98% ROI)
2023: +41.49 units (7.56% ROI, 72% SR)
2022: +75 units (14.71% ROI, 74..38% SR)
2021: +27.96 units (4.51% ROI, 68% SR) N.B. 3 months of no boxing action due to covid restrictions
2020: +20.98 units (4.38%, 61% SR)
2019: +188.4 units (17.35% ROI, 62% SR)
2018: +170.35 units (25% ROI, 63% SR)

Consistency doesn’t get much better than that!

Scottish Confidential

Next up on our contenders list is football service Scottish Confidential. 

Football is a notoriously hard sport to profit from and so when you find a tipster that does produce long-term gains it is worth paying attention. 

As the name suggests, this is a service that focuses solely on Scottish football and we first reviewed it back in 2022, with an update provided last year.

Their concentrated approach on football north of the border has paid dividends, with total profit to date sitting at close to 200 points.

This year was an excellent year for the service, with over 30 points made at an ROI exceeding 15%, which is no mean feat in football betting.

Another tipster that is simple to follow with just a handful of bets per week, we think it is due some praise as the only footy tipster on this list amongst a litany of failed football services we have looked at over the years.

Bet Sage

A service we are currently reviewing, this horse racing tipster has had an excellent 2025 with 181 points made this year.

It’s another tipster with a long established track-record of consistency, amassing over 1,600 points profit in total now since inception. 

The tips are mainly sent the evening before racing which means they do tend to shorten in price. As our review has shown, the profits at BSP have been quite a bit lower.

For those with bookie accounts though Bet Sage is a top service and it has been a stellar year for them.

 

Top 3 Tipsters of 2025

Okay so let’s get on with the serious business now and take a look at our Top 3 Tipsters of 2025…

3. Bookies Enemy

Coming in at number three is another long-term favourite of ours that has had a cracking time in 2025 and that is The Bookies Enemy.

With a monster 230 points profit made in 2025, it was a banner year for this horse racing tipster. 

They hit a particularly hot streak over the Summer, with 83 points profit in July, followed by 89 points in August and then 53 points in September. 

That now puts them on over 1,100 points profit in total since 2017, one of the best totals in the industry. 

Quite a large proportion of the tips are sent out the evening before racing, so again price availability is a challenge.

However, even allowing for some price depreciation would still have left you with very handsome returns from following this service in 2025. 

 

2. Edwards Tips (Golf)

A service we originally took a look at in 2022, this combined golf and snooker service is one of the most successful sports tipsters in the business and performed very well again this year.

In particular it was the outright golf tips that shone, with a sterling 39 points profit made at a whopping ROI of 33%.

The headline P/L is slightly deceptive however as Mr Edwards tips at very low stakes – often 0.1 pts e/w for example. 

So using more standard 1pt e/w stakes you would be looking at around 394 points profit – an outstanding effort. That included a number of huge winners at prices of over 100/1.

As those accustomed to golf betting will know however, prices on long-shot outsiders can disappear quickly so achieving that total would be a challenge in reality.

Again though, even allowing for some price depreciation, you would still have done very well indeed from following the golf tips this year.

The snooker tips had a rare underperformance with a small loss made this year, but the long-term snooker results are still excellent so hopefully 2025 was just a blip. 

And there were some very unlucky near misses – including two huge outright picks that both lost in deciding frames in finals! 

 

1. Andy Holding

It’s probably no surprise to long-term followers here at HBR that our number one pick for 2025 has to be Andy Holding Tips (which are available via the Oddschecker Plus Premium service).

It’s not just the headline numbers of 230 points profit made in 2025 – nor the 313 points profit made in our trial at a superb ROI of 31% – that stand out.

It is that crucial factor of price availability that makes this our number one tipster of 2025.

Unlike many other popular tipsters, Andy:

  • Tips on the morning of racing – when there is much more liquidity in the markets and bookies are less likely to limit your accounts;
  • Achieved an excellent Betfair SP in our review: 241 points profit versus the 313 points at advised prices;
  • Or taking prices an hour or two after tips are posted still produced around 270 points profit in our review.

This is what we call proper tipping.

A lot of tipsters who tip early – whether that’s the evening before racing on the horses or on a Monday in golf – are essentially taking advantage of illiquid markets and mistakes the bookies have made in their pricing.

That is fair enough and a valid approach that can still produce long-term profit. 

However, it does leave those following the tips subject to both price movements and account restrictions.

With Andy tipping on the morning of racing though, you are much less at risk of either of those things.

And even if you do suffer account restrictions with the bookies, you could switch to Betfair SP and still do very well indeed! 

So the advertised profits (or close to them) are very much achievable and the service is viable for the long term, unlike some that may have a limited shelf-life due to account restrictions.

This is a service we have followed with our own money in 2025 – and are very pleased we did! 

We like the data-driven approach of the service, with Andy relying on his own speed ratings which are then combined with race reading and more traditional form study. 

The results during our trial were very consistent, with a smooth profit curve achieved throughout and minimal drawdowns. 

To be honest there isn’t much more we can ask from a tipster – other than he keeps it going during 2026!

You can check out Andy Holding Tips – which are available via the Oddschecker Plus Premium service – here.

 

So that concludes our top tipsters of 2025. We hope you enjoyed it but please let us know in the comments below if there are any tipsters we left out who you think should be in there!

That means they are now 105 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.

That means they are now 40 points up at Betfair SP for our trial overall.  

As mentioned last time, part of the difference is down to them having backed a horse ante-post at 25/1 that went off at a BSP of 1.76.

Bet Sage – Results Update

11th April 2025

It’s been a solid start to our trial of horse racing tipster Bet Sage, with a profit of 12 points made at advised prices for our trial to date. 

You can view full results here.

It’s not been quite such a positive story at Betfair SP however, with a loss of 40 points made for our trial to date. 

Part of that is down to them having backed Kopek Des Bordes ante-post in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle back in December at odds of 25/1 and it going off at a Betfair SP of 1.76! 

Obviously in those kind of circumstances you would want to back the horse at Betfair at around the time the tip is given out ante-post rather than waiting until the race for BSP. 

Leaving that aside though, there is still quite a difference between the BSP results and those at advised prices, probably reflecting a combination of getting CLV plus the extra places available at the bookies when backing each-way.

Bet Sage – New Review

31st January 2025

We are starting a new review today of a horse racing tipster called Bet Sage.

This is a service hosted at the BetHub tipster platform and it has been going since December 2019. 

Its total profit since launching stands at a reported 1443 points, at a quite incredible 37% return on investment (ROI).

The reported yearly profit figures are as follows:-

  • 2020: +493 points
  • 2021: +218 points
  • 2022: +220 points
  • 2023: +118 points
  • 2024: +335 points

So very consistent and impressive annual profits there. 

They have a particularly strong record at the Cheltenham Festival, where the annual profits stand at: 

Cheltenham Festival 2020: +83.01 points
Cheltenham Festival 2021: +95.43 points
Cheltenham Festival 2022: +24.68 points
Cheltenham Festival 2023: +6.14 points
Cheltenham Festival 2024: +25.88 points

So a total profit of 235 points at Cheltenham makes it a standout performer at the festival and with the meeting just over a month away it feels like an opportune time to review the service. 

We started receiving tips on 23rd January so will record results from then. 

Results will be updated here as we go along as usual. 

In the meantime you can check out Bet Sage for yourself here.

The Snap – New Review

5th September 2023

Here at Honest Betting Reviews we are always on the lookout for services in sports beyond the “big three” of horse racing, football and golf.

In particular we are keen to seek out services covering US sports, which we see getting more coverage from tipsters now that gambling is legal in many US states. 

The biggest US sport of them all of course is NFL, which is now a truly global game with massive TV audiences around the world and even some games being played in London. 

Perhaps surprisingly, there are however a dearth of good NFL tipsters out there and we currently don’t have any on our Winning Tipsters list. 

Hopefully that is all about to change however with this next review. The service we are looking at is called The Snap and it comes from a guy called Russ Yershon.

Russ is an NFL expert and sports fanatic who has featured on channels such as Bloomberg, offering his expert analysis and viewpoints on the sport.

His results last season were very impressive, with a return on investment of 14.81% being achieved on a strike rate of 58%.  

It sounds like quite an easy service to follow with just 3-4 bets per week. There’s also a members-only chat group on Telegram where you can get discuss the week’s match-ups.

With the NFL season just about to kick off, it feels like an opportune time to get a review underway and in fact Russ has already sent out his outright picks for the campaign. 

So without further ado we will get this review off and running and will report back here regularly on how things are going. 

In the meantime you can check out The Snap for yourself here.
