Elite Rugby Tipping – Full Review
This is only the second rugby betting service we have reviewed here at Honest Betting Reviews. The other one – Rugby Trading Webinars – received a passed rating but isn’t available currently.
So could Elite Rugby Tipping be the one and only currently available winning rugby service? We were certainly hopeful coming into our review, with just under £25,000 profit apparently made to £50 stakes prior to us starting our trial.
The service tips in both rugby union and rugby league and in a variety of different competitions including the Premiership, European rugby, the Super League, the Top 14 (the French league) and more. Match odds, handicaps and over/unders are the main markets used.
Whilst we are were hopeful coming into the trial, sadly as we seem to say so often these days however, the kind of results seen prior to our review weren’t seen during it, with a loss of 38 points made.
That equated to a negative ROI of -10%, which is somewhat disappointing it has to be said.
Given those figures it seems the only rating that can be given here is a FAILED one in the circumstances.
Did we just hit the service at a bad time? Perhaps, certainly it does happen and things may well pick up from here. But six months is quite a long time to run a trial for so we would have hoped to have finished with some profit at the end of it.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The tips are normally sent out the day before matches or with plenty of time on the day, so there is no problem from that point of view. With an average of just 6 bets per week usually spread out over the weekend, there isn’t too much effort involved in following the tips either.
Availability of prices: To give credit to them they quote generally available prices rather than just best prices, so with some shopping around you may be able to beat the official results and our results published above. But certainly we didn’t have too many problems getting the advised prices.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 47%, which in itself is pretty good but given a lot of the bets are odds-on would need to be a bit higher to generate a profit.
Advised Betting Bank: We didn’t see any bank recommended but used a 100 point bank for the trial, which seemed adequate to us given the strike rate and staking.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are quite high at free for the first 14 days then £185 per quarter or £630 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED
There aren’t too many rugby services out there and the only other one we have reviewed is no longer available.
So we were hoping that Elite Rugby Tipping would be a profitable rugby service and certainly their credentials looked strong coming into our trial.
Sadly though with a 38 point loss after six months it can only be a FAILED rating from us for this service. Perhaps we just hit them at a bad time but six months is quite a long time to run a trial so it is a little disappointing. If they can turn things around we would of course be prepared to revise our opinion but at the moment sadly we still don’t have a profitable rugby service to recommend.

The recent run is a shame as they had nearly got back to level for the trial, but that is the way things go sometimes in betting sadly.
Let’s see if they can turn things back around and get back towards profit between now and our next update.

18th January 2019
More losses unfortunately for Elite Rugby Tipping from Love Winners since our last update, with a further 6 points lost.
That means they are now 14 points down for our trial overall.
You can view full results here.
This is quite a low volume service with just a few bets per week, meaning it is easy to follow and the prices seem readily obtainable. All we need now is the results to pick up and for them get back into the black.

Elite Rugby Tipping – Results Update
3rd December 2018
It’s been a bit of a tough start to our trial of Elite Rugby Tipping, with a loss of 8 points so far after just under a month.
You can view full results here.
Most of the bets during November were on the Autumn International matches which can be a little unpredictable, so with the return of the domestic action hopefully we will see an improvement in form for the service.
Just a note that they are moving the service over to the Love Winners website going forward.

Elite Rugby Tipping – New Review
8th November 2018
This is a first for us here at Honest Betting Reviews as we launch our first ever review of a rugby betting service.
It’s strange in a way that there aren’t many rugby tipsters out there when you consider it’s a popular sport played in a number of countries around the world.
Even comparable sports in terms of popularity like golf and cricket attract a lot more betting attention and have quite a lot of people tipping on them.
For some reason though rugby has been rather neglected as a betting medium over the years.
That’s no problem for us though as it means there is the potential for lots of value to be found if others aren’t devoting much time to it.
And that certainly seems to be the case with the service we’re looking at today – Makfi Elite Rugby Tipping.
It is run by a guy called George Makfi – hence the name.
This is actually a service that’s been around for a number of years – firstly at gttips.co.uk, then at LoveWinners.co.uk before moving to Makfi Elite.
It had been part of a broader portfolio of sports tips when on those websites, but this new service is rugby-only.
The long-term record of the rugby tips over the last eight years has been very good, with a profit of £24,892 made to £50 stakes, which is the equivalent of 498 points profit to 1 point stakes.
That has been achieved with a return on investment of just under 10%, which is very good for a sports service where you are betting at relatively short odds generally.
Bets come in both rugby league and rugby union and across a variety of leagues as well as internationals.
There are also a variety of bet types used such as handicaps, total points, winning margins and more.
We are looking forward to testing this one out because as we say, it is the first rugby service we have trialled – and it also looks very good!
So we will aim to run a standard three month trial and see how this one gets on. You can check back here for regular updates.
In the meantime you can check out Makfi Elite Rugby Tipping here.
-29 points loss, bad result for “premium” picks…
