Winning Post Profits – Full Review
Winning Post Profits is a horse racing tipster based at the Sure Win tipster platform and they have been going since June 2021. So just over 3 years now.
The tips are provided by a chap called Sam Darby and come with detailed write-ups explaining the reasoning behind the selections.
Sam uses a variety of bet types including singles, doubles, trebles, forecasts and the like. These multiple bets can be at very large odds of 500/1+ so there is the opportunity to land a massive winner.
As mentioned during our review, the staking is more variable than with most tipsters we review, with up to 14 points per bet being staked.
Some bets for example are 4pts e/w or 5pts e/w.
Sam says the reason for using this staking is: “to try to make it less confusing for people when recommending very small stakes forecasts or multis. I took the view that people are more likely to be confused by 0.05 points stakes than 0.5 points stakes, so I made the stakes for standard singles higher to hopefully make it clearer/less confusing.”
That makes sense really in view of the multiple bets the service uses, to keep everything in proportion.
Anyway, we followed the service for 6 months which gave us a good sample size of 194 bets.
At the end of our review they finished with a solid profit of 13 points.
That was achieved with a strike rate of 27% (including placed horses) and a return on investment (ROI) of 2%.
The service advises using a 300 point betting bank, so the growth in the bank over the course of our trial was only 4%.
At Betfair SP the results weren’t quite as good, with a loss of 41 points made, so it looks like you will need bookie accounts to make the most of this service.
Overall then given just a small profit was made and the low bank growth and ROI over our trial, it only seems fair to award Winning Post Profits a NEUTRAL rating.
A decent effort to have made a slight profit, but it’s not quite enough in context of the overall metrics to warrant a passed rating at this stage.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out e-mail, usually in the afternoon or evening before racing. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1 bets per day on average the workload is pretty manageable. Most bets come at the weekends, so there are often no bets for a few days during the week then around 4-5 bets on a Friday/Saturday.
Availability of prices: We didn’t experience too many issues with price availability during the course of our trial.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 27% (including placed horses).
Advised Betting Bank: A 300 point betting bank is recommended for following the service. That seems fairly reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during our trial.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £39 per month or £327 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
After a six month trial, horse racing tipster Winning Post Profits finished with a profit of 13 points at advised prices.
With an ROI of 2% and bank growth of 4%, the service receives a NEUTRAL rating from us.
A solid effort but not quite enough to merit a passed rating at this stage.

Winning Post Profits – Results Update
9th August 2024
It’s been a tough time lately for horse racing tipster Winning Post Profits, with a loss of 41 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 33 points down at advised prices for our trial overall.
You can view full results here.
They have fared somewhat worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 48 points made since our last update and a loss of 67 points made for our trial overall at BSP.
In our last update we mentioned that the staking with this service goes up to 14 points per bet, which we described as “quite aggressive.”
However, Sam who runs the service points out that “The points totals used will be higher than what most are used to and that doesn’t mean the £ stakes should be higher but more that followers will want to adjust their £ per point staking that they have used elsewhere.
The reason I’ve always used a higher points total is to try to make it less confusing for people when recommending very small stakes forecasts or multis. I took the view that people are more likely to be confused by 0.05 points stakes than 0.5 points stakes, so I made the stakes for standard singles higher to hopefully make it clearer/less confusing.”
So in light of this information – and a 300 point bank being recommended for the service – it is perhaps better to describe the staking as more “variable” rather than “aggressive” than other services.
Anyway, hopefully that clears things up and the staking used makes sense in context of the multis etc being used. It also should be noted that this makes the current results look worse than they actually are, as at 1pt stakes the loss would be obviously much lower.

It’s been a better time lately for horse racing tipster Winning Post Profits, with a profit of 56 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 9 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.
You can view full results here.
They have fared a little worse at Betfair SP, with a profit of 40 points made since our last update but a loss of 19 points made for our trial so far at BSP.
It’s worth pointing out that staking is quite aggressive with this service at up to 14 points per bet, with some 8 and 10 point bets so far, so it can be quite volatile with this tipster.
A 300 point bank is recommended for following the service, but it could be prudent to go with a slightly larger bank to be on the safe side here.

You can view full results here.
It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 59 points made for our trial so far.
It’s worth pointing out that staking is quite aggressive with this service at up to 14 points per bet, with some 8 and 10 point bets so far, so the results are certainly not as bad as they at first seem.
A 300 point bank is recommended for following the service, so most of the bank is still in tact.

Winning Post Profits – New Review
2nd April 2024
We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing service called Winning Post Profits.
They are based at the Sure Win tipster platform and have been going since June 2021, so just under 3 years now.
The reported results in that time have been stellar, with over 1,000 points profit made in total.
That has been achieved with a solid strike rate of 36% and an excellent return on investment of 29%.
The staking is quite aggressive with this service at up to 14 points per bet, so that needs to be taken into account both in terms of the profit total and the betting bank needed to follow the service.
A 300 point bank is recommended for following the service which takes this larger staking into account.
It is somewhat more of a selective service than many horse racing tipsters out there, with around 5 bets per week on average.
Tips are normally sent out the evening before racing, giving plenty of time to get the bets on.
The service is flat only and normally runs from March through December so it is a good time to be starting a review.
We will kick things off today then and will report back here soon as how things are going.
In the meantime you can check out Winning Post Profits for yourself here.
