These results are for both the NFL and NCAA (which you can see on the second tab of the spreadsheet) and are for the whole 2024-25 season.
They made a nice 4 points profit on the Superbowl, to end the season with:
18 points profit for their NFL tips; and
14 points profit for the NCAA tips.
So an excellent season across both codes and a really impressive achievement to have made such profits in markets that are notoriously hard to find an edge in.
We will place the review in abeyance now for the off-season but will pick things back up again when the new season kicks off in the summer.
Trade on Sports: American Football Ratings & Bets – New Review
22nd November 2024
We are starting a new review today of an American football tipping service from the Trade on Sports team – also known as their “Ratings and Bets” service.
Long-term members may be familiar with Trade on Sports (or TOS for short), as it’s a platform we have sung the praises of quite a lot over the years since our original review of it back in 2019-2020.
For those who aren’t familiar with the service, TOS is a platform run by a group of professional traders & bettors and covers a range of sports including football, tennis, cricket and US sports.
There is a huge amount on offer and we covered a lot of it in our original review. We are also now separately trialing their “Pinny Bot” which is a football betting system based around price differences between Betfair and Pinnacle.
Additionally we want to take a direct look at their American football tips as the results have been very impressive.
In our original review, they made 72 points profit at a return on investment (ROI) of 22% from 327 bets.
Last season the NFL bets made a small profit of 3 points, whilst this season they are going very well with a profit of 14 points made for the season to date.
On top of that, the NCAA (that’s college football in case you are not familiar with it) tips have also made 10 points profit for the season.
That’s all to one point level stakes which is highly impressive when you consider how notoriously hard it is to achieve an edge over the bookies when betting on American football.
As long-term members of TOS, we have proofed these results and can confirm their accuracy but we wanted to run a formal review to track the results in real time and keep an eye on odds availability.
So we’ll kick things off today and will report back here as usual so you can see how they are getting on.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/Trade-on-Sports-Ratings-and-Bets-service.png364733Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2025-03-06 11:57:342025-03-06 13:40:27Trade on Sports: American Football Ratings & Bets – Results Update
The season isn’t finishing in quite the style they might have hoped for NFL tipster The Snap, with a loss of 6 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 5 points down for our trial overall to advised prices.
There are a real dearth of good NFL tipsters out there so we are hoping this one can get things moving forward a little and become the first NFL tipster to pass a trial here at HBR.
A variety of markets are used including moneyline, handicaps and points totals and the staking is normally 1 point per bet so it is pretty easy to follow.
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.
Just a reminder this is an automated strategy that places bets automatically on your Betfair account using software called Cloud Bet Bot. It is about backing favourites, one horse per race according to certain criteria identified by Expo Bet.
The settings we are using are: exchange straight (which is the price just before the off), normal staking (not ratchet) and 1 point level stakes per bet.
It’s also worth adding that this strategy made 167 points profit during our original trial last year, so it is still up overall.

We are starting a new review today of a betting service called Sure Favs.
Well that’s not strictly accurate in fact – it’s actually picking up from a review we did previously.
Sure Favs is an automated betting system from the Exponential Bet (or Expo Bet for short) suite of services and we previously took a look at it as part of a broader review of four of their systems.
Although as a whole the four systems didn’t make a profit over the course of our review, Sure Favs was the one service that did perform well, producing an excellent 167 points profit during our trial.
We have kept an eye on results since our trial ended and it has continued to perform well, as you can see from the results graph below from the main Sure Favs system:-
Sure Favs – Main Exchange & BSP (Straight)
So we thought it would be a good time to give Sure Favs another look and put it through a dedicated trial of its own here at HBR.
In a nutshell Sure Favs is an automated strategy that places bets automatically on your Betfair account using software called Cloud Bet Bot.
We have tested the software out extensively across a number of reviews now and it works very well, placing bets seamlessly on your Betfair account to your specified stakes, all without the need for a VPN or leaving your computer running all day. Impressive stuff.
As the name suggests, Sure Favs is about backing favourites, one horse per race according to given criteria identified by Expo Bet.
There are essentially three strategies that form part of the service:
Sure Favs Main
Sure Favs High
Sure Favs Foundation
It is recommended to use a 100 point bank for each.
For a bit more info about the service, here is Ryan from Expo Bet with a quick run-down:
So it should be an interesting review and one we are looking forward to given the solid long-term results this one has amassed.
As always we will update results here as we go along.
It continues to be somewhat of a struggle for horse racing service Outside Rides, with a loss of 28 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 44 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 29 points made since our last update and 52 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.
Just a reminder, this is service that is based on a theory around top jockeys and small yards. Tips are delivered via the Telegram app to be backed either with the bookies or on Betfair.
A tough start so far but hopefully they can turn things around soon.
It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 23 points made for our trial to date.
Just a reminder, this is service that is based on a theory around top jockeys and small yards. Tips are delivered via the Telegram app to be backed either with the bookies or on Betfair.
So not the ideal start here but still early days and plenty of time to turn things around.
We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing service called Outside Rides.
This is a relatively new service that is based on a theory around top jockeys and small yards.
The idea is that because small racing stables don’t get much access to top jockeys compared to the bigger, more wealthy stables, they offer those jockeys their best horses in an effort to secure their services over the long term.
Outside Rides is focused on flat racing and has been live for just over a year now and has made a little over 50 points profit so far.
That has come at a return on investment of around 8%, which is a solid enough return.
At Betfair SP the results have been pretty decent too, with a profit of 38 points made to date at an ROI of just under 6%.
Their backtested results look very impressive with a reported 1700 points profit made from the system.
However, we don’t normally put much store in backtested results as we have seen plenty of examples of backtested results that look great on paper but then when they go live fail to deliver the goods. Ultimately only live, proofed results carry any weight.
Anyway, it looks like a promising service and we are always interested in new or innovative betting theories so let’s see how this one gets on under a live trial.
It operates on a “pay as you win” model which is good so no expensive subscription fees to pay if the service isn’t making a positive return.
We’ll update results here as always so you can see how they are progressing.
On 2nd December, the tipster sent out this message:
“Unfortunately, there will be no bets this weekend either. The reason is that my available time for analyzing football during the week is no longer as good as before. This means that at the moment, I am not in a position to catch the good bets at the right time.
“When doing this analysis on a Saturday morning like this, there are still opportunities. But the expected value is not as good as what is reflected in my historic numbers. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that it is better to not send anything, even if I think there is still some value.
“This means there will unfortunately be a break in the service. I don’t know for how long it will last, but at least until Jan 1.”
So we will put this trial on hold for the time being until they are back up and running again.
Just a reminder this is a tipster specialsing in the Premier League, with tips provided via Telegram.
They only tip on the biggest markets on the exchange – ‘match winner’, ‘over/under goals’ and ‘Asian Handicaps,’ meaning there is plenty of liquidity available.
A solid start then, let’s see if they can built on it.
We are starting a new review today of a football betting service called AAA Bettor from the Wadster tipster platform.
This is an English Premier league football tipster and they only tip on the biggest markets on the exchange – ‘match winner’, ‘over and under goals’ and ‘Asian Handicaps,’ meaning there is plenty of liquidity available and there should be no problem getting bets on.
AAABettor, a seasoned sports bettor with a substantial background in finance and statistical modeling, has been actively engaged in sports betting for an extended period.
His journey commenced by closely following advice from other tipsters, which provided him with valuable insights into the intricacies of betting theory.
Drawing from his expertise in finance and statistical modeling, AAABettor began creating football score models, initially as a recreational pursuit. Given the widely held belief in market efficiency, particularly in the major leagues, the prospect of consistently achieving profits seemed challenging.
However, AAABettor’s experience took an unexpected turn as he discovered that gaining an advantage was indeed achievable, even in highly competitive leagues like the English Premier League.
He learned that shortly after matches in a given gameweek, when the market was still developing, he could identify compelling value-based odds.
This insight enabled him to place bets with a positive expected value in advance of the subsequent week’s games. His unique ability to process information in his model more swiftly than the market gave him a significant edge.
That edge seems to be real, with results to date reportedly standing at 130 points profit at an ROI of 6.5%, all at achievable prices.
Since going live on the Wadster tipster platform, he’s up 30pts for an ROI of 10% for the first season on the platform.
Bets are provided via a Telegram bot and users pay a fee for a certain amount of profit (pay as you go).
We will kick off this review today then and record results here as we go along.
We are starting a new trial today of a service called Each Way Tips from the Phil Rushton stable of tipsters.
This is a service that has been going since 2019 and in that time has made over 370 points profit.
That has been achieved with a good strike rate of 40% and a solid return on investment (ROI) of 12%.
As the name of the service suggests, all bets are each-way bets and are on UK and Irish racing.
The staking is a simple one point each-way on each selection and there are just one or two bets per day on average, making it a straightforward service to follow.
The tips are supplied by a guy called Pete Thompson who has been a professional tipster for over 3 years and has been betting on horses for 15 years.
His other betting service Racing Wins has been going for a number of years and has also produced decent profits.
Pete focuses on finding value at prices of 4/1 and above and only selects a horse if he is sure it has a strong chance of winning or placing.
We often say here at HBR that the crucial factor we look for in tipsters is their longevity – their ability to make a profit over an extended period of time – so it is good to see this service has been running for nearly four years now.
Whether it can continue performing well we will find out in our trial but the signs are promising at least.
We started receiving tips on 1st July so will record results from then. Progress will be updated here as we go along as usual.
Please note that this service has now been placed on hold.
Wadster, who runs the service, provided this update via Telegram:
“The truth is mentally I’ve not been at my sharpest for the previous few weeks and the last thing I want to be doing is to be sending bad bets or ones with negative EV when that’s the case.
Unfortunately, the present circumstances are unlikely to change soon, and I do think it’s best for myself and all of you that I take a break from tennis tipping whilst I consider my options moving forward.
Hence, there will be a break in the service, where I’ll provide everyone with an update in by the start of August by the latest.”
So we will place this review on hold for the time being pending a decision on if/when it will recommence.
Just a reminder this is a tennis tipster where tips are sent out via Telegram, usually with write-ups and/or analysis afterwards.
The service works on a “pay as you win” model, whereby subscribers only pay for tips if Aidan make profits for them, and they purchase these in the form of credits/points at a cost of £5 per point.

It’s been a while since we reviewed a tennis tipster here at Honest Betting Reviews so we are pleased to be starting one today.
This service is called Wadster Winners (formerly Wadster Tips) and the tips come from a guy called Aidan Wardle.
Aidan says his approach “has always been largely based on an intuitive understanding of tennis and the factors that are important in winning a match. I know how to then apply relevant data to solidify my opinions on betting ideas and to create value bets to make profits.”
The approach appears to have worked very well, with 197 points profit made since starting up in 2019, according to the results on the website. These tips have been proofed to the pyckio website as well as the SBC so have some solid verification behind them.
The returns have been achieved with a return on investment of just over 8% which is very respectable in tennis terms.
Each of the last three years has produced over 40 points profit which is a strong level of consistency.
The tips are provided via a betting bot on Telegram, which is increasingly becoming tipsters’ modus operandi these days.
The service works on a “pay as you win” model, whereby subscribers only pay for tips if Aidan make profits for them, and they purchase these in the form of credits/points at a cost of £5 per point.
That’s fair enough really and it’s surprising in some ways that more tipsters don’t operate in this way.
In any event, this looks like an impressive all-round service and one of the better tennis tipsters we have come across so we are looking forward to getting the trial underway. Results will be updated here as we go along as usual.
Sebastian Vettel is one of the most storied champions in the history of Formula 1. This German driver won four consecutive championships from 2010 to 2013, making him one of the most impressive drivers of all time. But how did he become so successful? What is it that makes him so impressive?
Whether you want to know more to get the best of sports betting lines, or just to brush up on your Formula 1 history, then this is the perfect place for you. We’re going to delve into the career and life of Sebastian Vettel, exploring the most integral moments that have caused his success in the sport.
Early Life
On July 3, 1987, in Heppenheim, Germany, Sebastian Vettel was born. His father ran a go-kart track in his hometown, which inspired his love of motorsports at a young age.
Vettel started karting when he was three years old, and by the time he was eight, he had already won his first club championship. Before switching to single-seaters, he continued to excel in karting, taking home numerous regional and national titles.
Vettel competed in the Formula BMW ADAC championship in 2003 when he was just 16 years old, winning the title in his first season. He won four races and placed on six podiums the following year, when he came in third in the championship. Red Bull was impressed by his performances and hired him in 2006 as a test driver for their Formula One team.
F1 Debut
At just 19 years and 53 days old, Vettel made his Formula One debut for BMW Sauber at the 2007 United States Grand Prix, making racing history as the youngest driver to ever start a race. His impressive performance in his first race earned him a point with an eighth-place finish. He took the place of the injured Robert Kubica.
Vettel made his race debut for Red Bull Racing at the 2009 Chinese Grand Prix, taking the place of the team’s underwhelming Sébastien Bourdais. Later that year, Vettel was confirmed as a test driver for Red Bull Racing.
At the 2008 Italian Grand Prix, Vettel, then 21 years and 74 days old, became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix in just his second race for the team. It was his first F1 victory.
Vettel finished second in the Drivers’ Championship the following year with four victories and eight podiums. He also made history by becoming Red Bull Racing’s youngest driver to win both a pole position and a race.
Championship Success
In 2010, Vettel won the Drivers’ Championship for the first time after finishing the season with five victories and ten podium finishes. At age 23, he became the youngest-ever F1 World Champion after winning the title with one race remaining.
Vettel continued his dominance in 2011 after winning the championship, winning 11 races and placing on the podium 17 times. He won his second consecutive Drivers’ Championship with four races to spare, finishing the season with 392 points, 122 points ahead of his nearest rival.
Vettel maintained his superiority in 2012, winning five races and placing ten times on the podium. At the Brazilian Grand Prix, he won the Drivers’ Championship for the third time in a row, making him just the third driver in F1 history to accomplish this feat.
By winning 13 races and placing on the podium 16 times in 2013, Vettel won the Drivers’ Championship for a record fourth time in a row. He won nine races in a row from the Belgian Grand Prix to the Brazilian Grand Prix, breaking the previous record for the most consecutive victories in a season.
Outside Of The Sport
When he’s away from the track, Vettel is well known for his love of music, even going so far as to sing karaoke at F1 events. He’s a keen football fan, supporting Eintracht Frankfurt. Vettel has been involved in several charitable initiatives throughout his career. In 2015, he set up a charity that has helped disadvantaged children and other young people around the world in their lives.
He’s also a big supporter of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, which aims to use sport as a tool for social change in the world. These are some of the reasons why Vettel is beloved by F1 fans and others across the world.
Final Thoughts
In short, Sebastian Vettel’s achievements in Formula 1 are what make him so renowned.

Town Star is a play-to-earn farming game from Gala Games, similar in style to Farmville. You can check out our full guide on it here.
Whilst things started off promisingly with this game, sadly the inherent weakness of the in-game economy we identified in earlier updates has had the impact we predicted.
In essence the problem is that you have an economy where lots of people are earning significant amounts of the the in-game currency (Town Coin) and then want to sell it to cash in those earnings. However, on the other end there are very few buyers for that Town Coin.
The reason being is that there is very little reason to own the coin, other than to hold it in your wallet – which allows you to…earn more Town Coin!
Leaving aside the fact you can also achieve the same effect by holding Gala Tokens in your wallet instead, you can probably see the issue here. There is little incentive to buy Town Coin other than enabling you to earn more Town Coin (which is itself dilutive of course), meaning the value of the token is bound to drop in these circumstances. And drop it has – all the way from over $2 to $0.09 at the time of writing.
Fundamentally, as we described in previous updates, there needs to be utility for Town Coin. Whether this is in using it to build items in the game, enhance your trading capabilities with other towns or some other use, there has to be a reason for people to want to buy the token and not just sell it.
Until this issue is addressed we don’t see a bottom for Town Coin and it could easily go to zero (or close to zero). In these circumstances there doesn’t seem much point putting in the many hours necessary to play the game when the earnings are virtually zero.
So we will leave this review in abeyance until these issues are addressed and we start to see some actual utility and value for Town Coin.
It seems this issue of in-game “tokenomics” as they are called is not limited to Town Star but is something all play-to-earn games are experiencing. Perhaps if one game developer figures it out then others can follow, but for the time being it is a space we will monitor rather than participate in.
Town Star is a play-to-earn farming game from Gala Games, similar in style to Farmville. You can check out our full guide on it here.
In order to earn tokens in Town Star, you need to own NFTs. These are the farming items that you use in the game like grain storage, water fountains, shops and so on.
We purchased four NFTs and have been playing the game for a few months now.
Each day you can earn the game’s native token, Town Coin (TOWN), by completing a daily challenge. It’s not too difficult at the moment and takes a few hours at the start of the month to build up your town and then around an hour per day to complete.
Since our last update we have earned another 734 Town Coin, which means we have now earned 1734 Town Coin in total.
The problem is that Town Coin has absolutely plummeted in price since our last update. It was $0.56 per coin but is now just $0.18 per coin at the time of writing.
So our net earnings are only worth $312, which is pretty disappointing to be honest considering the cost of the NFTs and the work put in.
As we said last time, for the token to have value they really need to integrate it into the game. Whilst they said last Autumn they plan to do so, we have not heard anything since about what their plans are or when they may do so.
In the meantime we will keep working away to earn Town Coin in the hope that it goes up in value at some point.
If you’ve been following us recently you’ll know we’ve been delving into the world of play-to-earn games. Whilst our focus here is mainly on betting and trading systems, we are always interested in alternative ways to make some extra income and the play-to-earn space looks set to explode this year.
Our first foray in this area was Sorare, which if you’ve been tracking our journey you’ll have seen we’ve been doing very well with over $20,000 in prizes won last year.
Our next venture into this space is with an interesting little game called Town Star from Gala Games.
This is a fun game that is a lot like Farmville if you ever played that game. You can read our full guide on Town Star here.
In order to be able to earn in the game, you have to first purchase some NFTs. These are the farming items that you use in the game like grain storage, water fountains, shops and so on.
We purchased four NFTs:-
Alfa Fountain (OK)
Rare Sugarcane storage
Water Tower
Sugarcane storage
We also received a free Express Depot for becoming a gold Gala member.
Each one of these NFTs pays out a certain number of Town Coin per day if you complete a Daily Challenge, which you can then exchange for other cryptocurrency and then fiat money.
However, unfortunately at the moment we are not able to use all our NFTs. This is because you need to have a certain amount of what is called “Gala Power.” There is a full article explaining it here, but in essence you need a certain amount of Gala tokens and/or Town Coin in your wallet.
At current prices this means spending thousands of dollars to move up the Gala Power levels and use your NFTs, which is far from ideal.
Gala Games say they will allow renting out of NFTs in future (no date confirmed though) and they may adjust the terms of the Power levels to take account of things like account age, number of NFTs etc, but for the time being we are stuck with this situation. The simple advice is it’s better to buy one big NFT than lots of small ones – you only need one Gala token in your wallet to use one NFT.
Anyway, putting that issue aside how has it been going on Town Star?
We have managed to earn Town Coin pretty much every day (apart from the odd day like Christmas Day, for obvious reasons) and so far have earned just over 1,000 Town Coin.
At today’s prices of $0.56 per Town Coin, that equals just over $560.
That’s not bad for a few weeks work and the NFTs we bought have gone up a lot in value. In particular the Rare Sugarcane Storage cost us around $1,200 when we bought it and is now selling for around $3,000.
In this game you are hostage to the price of Town Coin, which has fluctuated quite a lot since we joined the game, from around $0.30 all the way up to over $2.
We imagine when they actually integrate the token into the game itself – which they have said in two blog posts they plan to do – its value could appreciate, although that rests on them bringing lots of new players to the game too.
In any event, the bottom line is our earnings have been pretty good so far even with the price of Town Coin having fallen a lot over the past month. It’s also a fun game to play so we would say we are cautiously optimistic about this one. There is still a lot of work for them to do to bring it to the mainstream but the early signs are encouraging.
If you’ve been following us recently you’ll know we’ve started to get involved in the play-to-earn gaming revolution.
Whilst this isn’t strictly in the “betting category,” we do occasionally like to venture into other fields like forex, crypto and passive income. Anything really that can make an extra bit of income on the side!
So our first foray in the play-to-earn field was Sorare, the fantasy football game that runs on the blockchain. If you’ve been following our journey you’ll have seen it’s been going very well with lots of rewards won.
Our next sortie into the realm of play-to-earn games then is a fun little simulation game called Town Star from Gala Games.
We’ve written a full guide hereon what Town Star is all about and how you can earn from it, but basically it’s a lot like Farmville. You run a small town and have to build it up from scratch by farming goods and then selling them.
In order to earn tokens on it (which you can then sell on exchanges like Coinbase), you have to buy NFTs – or non-fungible tokens. These are the farming/industrial items like wheat storage, water fountains, solar panels and so on. Then you have to complete a daily challenge in the game to earn your tokens.
Another way to earn Town Coin is to finish high up on the leaderboard, although that is very tough so for most people the focus will be on earning the daily Town Coin.
We’ve recently joined the game and will be documenting our journey here, just as we have been doing with Sorare.
So far we have one NFT placed in the game, earning 14 of the game’s tokens, called Town Coin, per day.
At today’s prices of $1.23 per Town Coin, that’s $17 per day in earnings, for just a small amount of time playing the game each day. Some people are already earning over $100 per day from the game.
There is also the potential to move up the levels and be able to place more NFTs in the game, thus earning more Town Coin.
Plus of course the value of Town Coin could go up as well – although it could also go down so you do have to accept the fluctuations in the price of the token and not expect it will necessarily go up.
If more people join the game though, in theory it should drive more adoption of the token.
Just to note that the cheapest NFTs that pay out Town Coin are currently priced at around $730. So at current prices it would take approximately 54 days to earn back the cost of the NFT.
That presumes Town Coin stays at its current price of course, but it gives you a ball park idea of the payback time anyway. You also will own the NFT and they are generally going up in price all the time.
Please note there are a very limited supply of the NFTs though and they are selling out fast. All of the NFT info is covered in our guideso we recommend you read that first before buying any of them.
In any event, given the potential here and the fact it’s quite a fun game to play, we are looking forward to running this review and will update our progress here as usual.
By combining the above two approaches together, this should give me a good chance of beating the bookies this week.
So how did this strategy perform on Wednesday at Cheltenham? Let’s have a look below.
Day Four Results
After some rotten luck on the first three days things had to turn around on the final day – right?
Let’s see how we did on the Friday of this year’s Cheltenham Festival. My stakes were £20 per point once again.
1.30 – Triumph Hurdle
It was a good start to the day with Quentin Franks’ pick Vauban grabbing the win and Bet Alchemist’s tip Fil Dor finishing second.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£44
2.10 – Handicap Hurdle
The Bet Alchemist had two picks in this race and both finished in the places thankfully. Quentin’s tip was third but was win-only so no returns from that.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£20
2.50 – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle
Quentin’s tip Hillcrest had to be pulled up whilst Bardenstown Lad from the Bet Alchemist grabbed a nice third place at tasty odds of 33/1.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£36
3.30 – Gold Cup
Both Quentin and the Bet Alchemist were on the same horse, Galvin, who never really looked like winning and ended up fourth.
Profit/Loss from Race: -£60
4.10 –Hunter’s Chase
The Irish Cash Consortium’s first tip of the day, Winged Leader, looked all over the winner and traded as low as 1.14 on Betfair before being pipped on the line. An each-way return though.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£1
5.30 – Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
No bets in the 4.50 so it was on to the last race and the Irish Cash Consortium’s tip Hollow Games finished third for some more each-way returns.
Profit/Loss from Race: +£8
TOTAL PROFIT/LOSS FROM THE DAY: +£49
It was nice to finish with a profit on the final day after some tough days previously.
After a few years in a row of healthy profit at Cheltenham this was a disappointing week however, with a lot of seconds, fallers at the last and horses finishing just outside the places. It was just “one of those weeks” sadly.
Quentin performed well and you can really see the value of his ante-post picks, which all got smashed in by the time of the races. With lots of bookies now offering non-runner no bet for these big races nowadays, it is well worth taking advantage of this early bets and locking in some profit.
The Bet Alchemist had a really tough festival in truth. His record over the years at Cheltenham is very good but he just couldn’t get the rub of the green this year for some reason. Hopefully next year will be better.
The Irish Cash Consortium had a fairly light betting week and could only manage a few places, but no major damage done.
Just a word on the free bets from the bookies – sadly these are not quite what they used to be with nowhere near the kind of value previously. In prior years for example Bet365 had offered £50 free bets but now it is just £5.
Lots of the other bookies have tightened up the terms of their offers too. With Sky bet for example you now need your horse to finish second to qualify for a free bet from the first race for example where as it used to be more generous.
The real value now lies in the extra places which are quite generous, going up to six, seven or even eight places in some races. So those are well worth taking advantage of.
Anyway, that concludes this year’s betting diary from Cheltenham. We hope you enjoyed it and had a little bit more luck than I did!
