Precision Picks – New Review

Finding winners at worthwhile prices is one of the most satisfying parts of horse racing betting, but it is also one of the hardest things to do consistently.

Precision Picks is a horse racing tipster service that aims to identify a relatively small number of carefully selected bets rather than sending out tips simply for the sake of having daily action.

The service is run by Kevin and operates through the established Betting Gods platform, where every selection and result is recorded publicly.

Since its launch in January 2025, Precision Picks has produced a reported profit of £4,510 to £25-per-point stakes.

On a points basis, that works out at an impressive +180 points profit.

The headline statistics are also eye-catching. At the time of writing, Betting Gods reports a 21% return on investment and a 39% strike rate, with 335 winners from 856 advised bets.

Those figures suggest Precision Picks has combined regular winners with a strong overall return, rather than depending entirely on the occasional huge-priced success.

However, the numbers still need to be placed in context. Precision Picks has an average advised price of around 14.6, which is unusually high when compared with its reported strike rate.

It also recommends a 100-point starting bank and has experienced a historical maximum drawdown of approximately 27 points.

Followers therefore need to be prepared for fluctuations, even though the long-term record currently looks very encouraging.

As always, advertised results only tell part of the story. The key questions are whether members can obtain the advised prices, whether the staking plan is practical and whether the service can reproduce its historic performance under the conditions faced by ordinary punters.

We have therefore started a live trial of Precision Picks here at Honest Betting Reviews.

We will record every selection at the advised odds, compare those prices with Betfair Starting Price where appropriate and assess whether members can realistically achieve results close to those advertised.

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

In the meantime you can check out Precision Picks for yourself here.

All in all this has been a very good trial and one showing a good level of consistency.

As mentioned in previous updates, all the profit this service has made is in French racing and they are slightly down for UK/Irish racing, so we will have to see if they can change that trend and start profiting from UK/Irish racing as well.

Racing Rundown – Results Update

17th December 2025

A bit of a downturn lately for horse racing tipster Racing Rundown, with a loss of 25 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 90 points up to advised prices for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

As mentioned previously, the Betfair SP results have been running well behind those at advised prices (over 100 points behind) and it does not look practical to follow the service at BSP.

We also mentioned last time that they made a foray into French racing over the Autumn, which was very successful with over 120 points profit made. 

However, it does throw up a few issues:-

Firstly, that makes up more than the total profit of the service to date, whilst the UK & Irish racing tips have made a small loss. 

Secondly that they have now gone back to UK and Irish racing and results have dipped again. 

Thirdly – and perhaps relatedly – the liquidity in French racing is not great so that might have something to do with them switching back to racing over here. 

We have not been able to record BSP results for French racing but the liquidity on Betfair tends to be poor for racing over in France so we don’t think using the exchange would be a great option in any event. 

For the time being we’ll just have to see if they can get things moving in the right direction on UK/Irish racing or if they venture over to the continent again.

On a separate note, as we updated here earlier in the week, they have recently joined up with former tipping service Systematic betting and are now a tipping duo, so we will also have to give them some time to see how they bed in as this new joint service.

As mentioned previously, the Betfair SP results have been running well behind those at advised prices (over 100 points behind) and it does not look practical to follow the service at BSP.

Just a note that for the last couple of months the service has been mainly tipping in French racing.

Obviously that does tend to mean less liquidity than UK racing but they have been producing very good results so far, so perhaps they are on the right track with the move.

Racing Rundown – New Review

10th August 2023

We are starting a new trial today of a service called Racing Rundown.

This is a tipster from the Betting Gods platform of tipsters and has been running since August last year, so almost exactly a year now. 

In that time it has amassed an impressive total of 290 points profit, which would be £7,250 profit at £25 per point or £2900 at more modest £10/point stakes. 

The return on investment has been strong at a shade under 16% whilst the strike rate has been solid at 23%

It is worth noting that the staking with this service ranges between 1 and 3 points, with the average being 2 points. 

In turn the recommended betting bank is 250 points, to account for the increased staking. 

The bets are win rather than each-way and the average odds are around 6/1 so it is quite an aggressive approach. 

Judging by the results achieved so far it has worked very well though so we are interested in how this one gets on in a live trial. 

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 Racing Rundown for yourself here.

With a high strike rate like this service has it’s possible to build a bank quite steadily.

Just a reminder this is a low-volume favourite-backing horse racing service from renowned tipster Mel Gee.

It has performed well in our trial but is more of a slow burner than most of the services we review so may not suit everyone’s style of betting, but the results to date have been solid.

The Betfair SP results continue to track pretty closely with those at advised prices, withone point profit also made since our last update and 12 points profit made for our trial overall at BSP. 

As mentioned before, this service is the very definition of low volume with just a few bets per month normally. 

In terms of consistency you can’t complain though as a good profit has been made at both advised prices and BSP.

So if this approach is working for them it would be a risk to change it just to try and secure more betting volume.

So this service has proved to be pretty solid. As mentioned before it’s a slow burner but with a 55% strike rate there are a high proportion of winners.

The betting bank has now grown by 65% with the absolute minimum of worry or drawdowns. 

The low bet volume also means there’s a very low workload involved in following so overall there’s a lot to like about this service.

The Betfair SP results continue to track pretty closely with those at advised prices, with 2 points profit made since our last update and 8 points profit made for our trial overall at BSP. 

As mentioned last time this is a very low volume service, so really to make it worthwhile once subscription costs are taken into account you would need to stake at fairly decent levels – e.g. at least £100 or £200 per point.

The good news though is that the strike rate is high, with many selections being odds-on favourites so it’s possible to build a bank with this service. It’s also very easy to follow with so few bets.

At Betfair SP, they have also lost 3 points since our last update and are 1 point down for our trial overall at BSP. 

To be honest we think this service is just too low volume to be viable for most people to follow. Only 3 bets over the last month is not really enough to get things moving forward. 

That is how the tipster operates but without upping the bet volume it’s difficult to see how they can produce enough profit to make it worthwhile to follow.

At Betfair SP, they are also 2 points up so far. 

We were expecting this to be a low volume service but there have only been three bets so far, which is even less than expected.

However, partly this is down to the time of year when there just aren’t very many of the type of high class races the tipster Mel likes to go for. So we would expect bet volume to pick up a little from here.

The main thing though is that a profit has been made so far which is what matters most.

First Class Racing – New Review

28th November 2022

We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing tipster called First Class Racing.

If you have been following our blog recently you may have seen the live Q&A they hosted recently with the resident tipster at First Class Racing, Mel Gee.

It was a very interesting discussion where Mel went through his unique betting style and why it has proved so successful for him in recent years.

Essentially the approach revolves around backing favourites in top class racing – indeed Mel only backs in Class 1 races these days. 

It’s a case of finding situations where a quality horse has everything in its favour, and doesn’t have to worry about carrying extra weight as the races bet on are non-handicaps. 

The strategy appears to have worked very well, with Mel having doubled his members’ betting banks over the last 14 months. 

It is a very low volume service, with usually just a few bets per month. Mel likes to be very selective and only put up selections when, as we say, a horse has absolutely everything in its favour. 

Although some people like more regular betting action, the advantage of a low volume approach like this is it’s very easy to follow with minimal work involved. 

It also means we will need to run quite a long trial with this one to get a big enough sample size of bets. 

So we will kick things off today and will report back on how things are going here as usual. 

In the meantime you can check out First Class Racing for yourself here.

Betfair SP Edge – New Review

31st October 2025

We are starting a new review today of a horse racing service called Betfair SP Edge.

This is a service on the Betting Gods network that focuses on finding value at the Betfair Starting Price (BSP), specifically in flat and all-weather racing.

The service is run by someone who isn’t just another anonymous tipster — it’s operated by the founder of Betting Gods, Darren, who has spent years reviewing, testing and working with some of the best tipsters in the business while quietly using his own private betting system.

For the first time, that private approach is being made available to the public.

We know Darren personally and he is an absolutely stand-up bloke — as well as being very shrewd — so this is a service we are very keen on checking out. 

The core idea behind Betfair SP Edge is discipline: it only targets flat and AW racing during the stronger parts of the season and deliberately avoids the weaker winter markets.

The aim is to identify big-priced winners that the wider market overlooks, and to do it at BSP so members don’t need to chase early bookmaker prices.

According to the service page, since April 2022 Betfair SP Edge has advised thousands of bets, returned a reported ROI north of 30% and produced profits in the region of £18,000 to £25 stakes.

Those results are built on decades of racing experience and a staking approach that’s designed to be both transparent and repeatable.

In this review we’ll take a closer look at how the service works, how the bets are found, what kind of bankroll you’ll realistically need, and — crucially — whether those claimed profits can be maintained in the long run. 

We started receiving tips on 21st August so we will record results from then. Results will be updated here as we go along as usual. 

In the meantime you can check out Betfair SP Edge for yourself here.

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.

 

Each Way Raider – Results Update

It’s been a very good start to our trial of horse racing service Each Way Raider, with a profit of 40 points made to date to Betfair SP (BSP).

You can view full results here.

Using £20 stakes – that is £10 on the win and £10 on the place – they are £808 up for our trial to date. 

This is a service that tips to Betfair SP, so that makes the results achieved so far even more impressive.

One thing to note is that the bets are sent out shortly before racing – usually less than half an hour before a race is due to start – so you need to be in a position where you can place the bets during the day (and evening) at short notice and not otherwise engaged with work etc. 

With that one proviso this service is looking very promising so far.

 

 

 

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Each Way Raider – New Review

6th May 2026

Horse racing tipsters can often live or die by one thing: whether they can find value at the prices advised.

That is especially true with each-way betting, where the aim is not simply to pick winners, but to identify horses with a strong chance of outrunning their odds and delivering profit through both win and place returns.

That brings us to Each Way Raider, a horse racing tipping service that, as the name suggests, focuses on each-way selections.

This is a service from the Andrew David stable of systems, who has produced a number of good services over the years – including perhaps most notably Little Acorns, but also Back of the Net which we reviewed and gave a PASSED rating to recently. 

So far, the early numbers for Each Way Raider have been impressive since starting up six months ago.

At the time of writing, Each Way Raider is showing a profit of 100 points for the each-way bets, with a 36% strike rate and an excellent 31% ROI (return on investment).

Those are eye-catching figures, particularly in horse racing, where long losing runs and price sensitivity can quickly separate genuinely profitable tipsters from those enjoying a short-term purple patch.

They are even more eye-catching when you consider the results are at Betfair SP – the holy grail of betting. 

So no worries about prices disappearing or bookie accounts being closed. 

From that perspective, this is one of the most promising services we have come across in a while.

It uses a combination of factors – which understandly are kept secret – to find value in the exchange horse racing markets. So far it looks to have worked very well.

In this review however, we’ll take a closer look at:

  • How Each Way Raider works
  • The type of bets advised
  • The service’s results so far
  • Whether the profits look sustainable
  • The pros and cons of joining
  • Our overall verdict on whether Each Way Raider is worth following

As always at Honest Betting Reviews, we’ll be tracking the service carefully and judging it on the numbers, not the hype.

Early signs are certainly promising, but the real test will be whether Each Way Raider can keep finding value over the long term.

We will post results here as we go along as usual.

In the meantime you can check out Each Way Raider for yourself here.

 

 

VH Tips – New Review

We are starting a new trial today of a service called VH Tips

This is a horse racing tipster based at the Tipstrr platform and the initials “VH” stand for Victor Hugo.

What interests us about this service is it tips to Betfair SP (BSP), so no need for bookie accounts and no worrying about account closures etc.

Here at HBR we often call it the “holy grail” to find a service that is profitable at BSP, so this one caught our eye.

The results so far look promising, with 272 points profit made this year at BSP, to one point level stakes. 

The ROI (return on investment) is very strong at 33%, which is particularly notable considering the use of BSP.

The strike rate is quite low however at 7%, which reflects that Victor tends to tip at quite high odds (around 17/1 on average).

Consequently the advised betting bank is 300 points to give enough of a cushion against losing runs.

Overall this does look like an interesting service and one we will be watching closely to see how it gets on in our live trial. 

We started receiving tips on 5th July so will records results from that point on. Updates will be provided here as we go along as usual. 

In the meantime you can check out VH Tips for yourself here.

The results at Betfair SP have been very similar, with 2 points lost since our last update and a loss of 6 points made for our trial overall at BSP.

Raid The Sand Syndicate – Results Update

It’s been a slightly slow start to our trial of horse racing tipster Raid The Sand Syndicate, with a loss of 4 points made to advised prices for our trial so far.

The results at Betfair SP have been pretty similar, with a loss of 3 points made for our trial to date.

Just a reminder this is a service focusing solely on all-weather racing in the UK and Ireland.

That meant a very low bet volume over the summer when there wasn’t much all-weather racing but now things are starting to ratchet up as we get into the main part of the AW season.

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.

 

 

The Racing Buddha – Results Update

It’s been a strong start to our trial of The Racing Buddha, with a profit of 14 points made so far.

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.

A promising start to our trial and builds on some very encouraging results posted prior to our trial. One to watch for sure.

The Racing Buddha – New Review

11th March 2026

We are starting a new review today of a horse racing service called The Racing Buddha.

This service comes from the Matthew Walton stable of tipsters, who has brought us a number of top performers over the years, including Scottish Confidential, the Golf Insider and the Irish Cash Consortium.

The Racing Buddha focuses on identifying value selections across UK and Irish horse racing.

The tipster behind the service apparently has a storied background in racing as an owner, broadcaster, journalist – and backer. So in theory they should know what they are doing! 

Their approach is centred around disciplined staking and careful race analysis, with the aim of uncovering runners whose odds appear bigger than their true chances.

Results published for the service so far look encouraging.

From 343 bets there have been 130 winners, giving a solid 37.9% strike rate. That has generated a profit of 97.84 points to advised prices, which increases to 136.89 points at Betfair SP.

To put that into perspective, anyone following the tips with £10 stakes would have made £978 profit to advised prices, or £1,368 to Betfair SP.

That is a very respectable return from a service operating with a reasonably healthy strike rate.

Selections are typically focused on win bets, and as with most professional racing services the key will be whether the value identified by the tipster can continue to beat the market over the long term.

We started receiving tips at the start of the year, so we will record results from that point onwards.

As always, results will be tracked independently and updated here regularly so you can see exactly how the service performs during our trial.

In the meantime, you can check out The Racing Buddha for yourself here.

The Betfair SP results continue to run a little behind those at advised prices, with a profit of 5 points made since our last update and 1 point profit made 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. 

They have won six of their last seven bets which is good to see. Let’s see if they can keep the good form going.

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.
