Blue Chip Naps – Full Review

 

Our trial of horse racing tipster Blue Chip Naps has come to an end. It finished with a small profit of +5 points at advised prices, from 248 settled bets over about 20 months.

Blue Chip Naps comes from the Matthew Walton stable. It focuses on a small number of short-priced selections in UK and Irish racing.

Before our trial it had a 44% strike rate and an ROI of over 30%, so expectations were reasonably high.

How the trial went

It was a quiet start, with the service around break-even through the autumn of 2024. Things picked up nicely over the winter. A superb February 2025 brought +11.5 points, and by mid-March the trial was +20 points up at its peak.

Unfortunately that turned out to be the high point. Over the following eleven months the service slowly gave those profits back, and by mid-February 2026 it was almost 7 points down for the trial overall.

That was a peak-to-trough drawdown of around 27 points. The losses were never dramatic in any single month, but there was no sustained recovery either. Only 12 of the 21 months made a profit.

To its credit, Blue Chip Naps finished strongly. It won six of its last seven bets in April 2026 and moved back into profit just in time for the end of the trial.

Strike rate and odds

The average advised price was just under 3.0, which fits the “blue chip” approach. At those odds, a strike rate of roughly 34% or more is needed just to break even.

Blue Chip Naps managed 36%, which is enough to stay slightly ahead but well short of the 44% it was achieving before our trial began. That difference largely explains why the ROI fell from over 30% to 2%.

Advised prices vs Betfair SP

At Betfair SP the service made +1 point, so there was very little difference from the advised prices.

That is a positive in one sense: you don’t need to chase early prices to get similar results. But it also shows how thin the margins have been overall.

Positives

• Finished in profit at both advised prices and Betfair SP
• Very manageable workload, with around three bets per week
• Short-priced selections mean losing runs stay fairly modest
• Results don’t depend heavily on securing the advised odds

Negatives

• Only a marginal profit after a 20-month trial
• Strike rate well below the pre-trial figure of 44%
• A long, slow decline from March 2025 to February 2026 would have tested most subscribers’ patience
• Once subscription costs are taken into account, most members would probably have lost money over the trial

Overall Verdict

Blue Chip Naps has delivered a small profit, a sensible number of bets and results that hold up at Betfair SP. However, +5 points from nearly 250 bets is not enough to show a convincing long-term edge, especially after the service peaked at +20 points early on.

The strong finish is encouraging, and the approach clearly has merit. But we can’t award a PASSED rating from a trial that was essentially break-even for most of its duration, so Blue Chip Naps receives a NEUTRAL verdict from us.

Blue Chip Naps – Results Update

17th March 2026

There’s been very little movement for horse racing tipster Blue Chip Naps lately, with no change to the net P/L at advised prices since our last update.

The Betfair SP results continue to run a little behind those at advised prices, with a profit of 3 points made since our last update and 4 points lost for our trial overall at BSP. 

Just as a reminder, this is a service that primarily targets high quality horses – the “blue chip” ones – in flat racing in the UK and Ireland. 

It’s been rather stalled in recent times with not much movement in either direction, but no damage done to the bank so can’t complain too much.

There’s been a slight step backwards for horse racing tipster Blue Chip Naps lately, with a loss of 7 points made at advised prices since our last update.

The Betfair SP results continue to run a little behind those at advised prices, with a loss of 9 points made since our last update and 11 points lost for our trial overall at BSP. 

The results do at least show that they are consistently achieving CLV (closing line value), but as we see so often here, sadly that isn’t translating into profit as of yet. Perhaps there could be some trading angles there but from a pure betting point of view it is not quite producing the goods.

Blue Chip Naps – Results Update

25th February 2025

It’s been an excellent month for horse racing tipster Blue Chip Naps, with a profit of 11 point made at advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 13 points up for our trial overall at advised prices. 

You can view full results here.

The Betfair SP results are running just slightly behind those at advised prices, with 10 points profit made since our last update and 8 points profit made for our trial overall at BSP. 

We have been impressed with the results of this service so far. Although the total profit might not be huge, it is important to note that these are high strike rate bets (42% strike rate so far) at fairly low odds (average 3.0), where making an ROI of 25% as they have done is a significant achievement. 

With high strike rate bets like these losing runs tend to be shorter and you can build a bank quite quickly when things are going well. 

So it’s a trial we are following with interest. If they can maintain these metrics going forward then this could be a really top racing service.

Blue Chip Naps – New Review

29th August 2024

We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing service called Blue Chip Naps. 

This comes from the Matthew Walton stable of tipsters. Matthew has a keen eye for tipping talent and we always take note when he introduces a new tipster. 

Some of the top services we have reviewed here including the Golf Insider, Racing Intelligence and the Irish Cash Consortium are all from Matthew’s stable so he knows how to find a good tipster.  

The latest one to be introduced to his stable, Blue Chip Naps, is relatively new, having been tipping since April this year. 

As the name suggests, this is a service that focuses on selective, high class horses, generally at short odds – like “Blue Chip” stocks, these are the cream of the crop.

The P/L so far stands at 16 points since starting up in mid-April. 

The service aims to achieve a high strike rate and so far has done that, with 44% of the selections having been winners. 

The return on investment (ROI) has been particularly strong at over 30% and every month so far has been a winning one. 

The tipster is apparently a full-time professional with 20+ years of experience who has access to industry contacts but also conducts their own in-depth form analysis. 

We tend to like services that achieve a high strike rate because the losing streaks are normally shorter and there is the possibility of staking at higher levels and growing the bank more quickly then low strike-rate services.

So we look forward to seeing how this service gets on under live trial conditions and will kick off the review today. 

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

In the meantime you can check out Blue Chip Naps for yourself here.
