HorseRacingTips.Pro – Results Update

4th August 2025

There continues to be a big contrast between results at advised prices and those at Betfair SP for racing tipster HorseRacingTips.Pro, with a loss of 22 points made at advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 19 points down at advised prices for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here.

However, they continue to deliver the goods at Betfair SP, with a profit of 4 points made since our last update. That puts them 128 points up for our trial so far at BSP. 

It’s quite a remarkable contrast really and one we hardly every see – normally it’s the other way round. 

A very welcome one though for those who have had their bookie accounts restricted and are limited to betting on the exchanges.

HorseRacingTips.Pro – New Review

11th April 2024

We are starting a new review today of a service called HorseRacingTips.Pro

As you may have guessed, this is a horse racing tipster, specialising in UK and Irish racing. 

They say their approach involves “analysing a wealth of data and information to identify potential contenders for upcoming races. From studying past performances and form guides to evaluating track conditions and jockey statistics, no detail is overlooked in my pursuit of identifying the most promising horses.”

In contrast to other tipsters who may rely solely on gut feelings or superficial analysis, this tipster says their approach is “data-driven and objective, rooted in statistical analysis and historical trends.”

The results published on their website look extremely impressive, with a profit of over 940 points made since starting up at the beginning of 2022. 

That has been achieved with an extremely high return on investment of 69% and a very good strike rate of 46%. 

The bets are win-only and there are typically around 10 bets per week, which come with recommended odds and staking. 

So this looks like a very promising tipster based on the results published on their website but let’s see how they get on under live trial conditions. 

As usual we will update results here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on.  

In the meantime you can check out HorseRacingTips.Pro for yourself here.

Andy Holding Tips – Full Review

 

Andy Holding is a long-established, highly respected racing judge, known for his meticulous use of speed figures and sectional times across UK & Irish racing (Flat and Jumps).

He’s a familiar voice on William Hill Radio and has earned the moniker “the pundit’s pundit.”

Andy’s tips are available via Oddschecker Plus, which includes additional features and content alongside his selections. Mr Holding does run a separate service, his own “Speed Figures” service, but this review was solely concerned with his Oddschecker-based tips.

His Oddschecker tips leverage that data-driven approach, which showed through in our results: a disciplined, value-led portfolio rather than boom-or-bust punting.

We conducted a year-long review of his tips, which gave us over 1,000 selections (1067 to be precise), a very good sample size.

Andy’s tips are posted on the Oddschecker website, normally early in the morning on the day of racing. Members have to be logged in and can then view the tips.

Results

It’s rare we get to write a review this glowing. Over a full year, Andy produced +313 points at an ROI of 31%, with a 37% strike-rate and a steady flow of around three bets per day.

The most striking aspect was the consistency: profits stacked up month after month, including some spectacular purple patches (notably in spring and early summer), and only the odd modest drawdown along the way.

We tracked both advised prices and Betfair SP (BSP) throughout: advised prices were best overall, but BSP still returned a very healthy profit of 241 points across the trial, which is extremely impressive and one of the best BSP returns we have ever seen in a trial. 

We also did our best to track the available prices around 1-2 hours after the tips were posted.

Whilst we weren’t able to record all of these prices, they averaged odds of 6.55 compared to the advised odds of 7.45 over our trial, with 880 prices tracked.

So a bit of a reduction in odds in general – which reflects the popularity of Andy’s service – but not a dramatic collapse in prices or anything.

According to calculations made by AI, this would give around 269 points profit from backing available odds around 1-2 hours after tips were posted – a very good return in itself.

How the Trial Unfolded

  • Fast start: November last year delivered a flying open, with strong profits at advised prices and BSP holding up better than expected for a popular tipster.
  • Through the winter: Progress remained smooth, with steady point-gains and well-managed downswings.
  • Spring surge: March to June brought a brilliant run, pushing cumulative profits to new highs and underlining the edge in Andy’s selections.
  • Into summer: The good times continued, culminating in a +313 point overall profit by the end of the 12 months.

Throughout, the consistency was the standout: no wild staking escalations, no gimmicks—just solid, repeatable value.

Summary

Overall then it’s been a superb trial and one of the best we’ve ever run for a horse racing tipster here at Honest Betting Reviews.

Headline results of over 300 points profit in a year, with a return on investment of 31%, are outstanding figures.

What’s equally remarkable though is that the figures stood up well at Betfair SP, with an excellent 241 points profit made.

So even for those whose bookie accounts have been restricted and are limited to betting at the exchanges, this would have produced fantastic returns over the last year.

It’s a definite PASSED rating from us then and a rare 5-star rating. First-class stuff from Mr Holding.

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The tips are available via Oddschecker for Oddschecker Plus members. Selections appear daily and typically land in good time before racing, with an average of around three bets per day.

This is an easy cadence to follow—no in-play faff, no late-night alerts—just check the app/site, place the bets, and you’re set. If you miss the odd day, the volume is steady enough that results should level out over time.

Availability of prices: As with any popular tipster, the early advised prices can shorten quickly. Acting promptly helps.

As discussed above though, the BSP and available odds returns were both excellent, so this is not one of those service were the advertised results are completely unobtainable. On the contrary –  they didn’t actually differ very much from the official results. 

Strike rate: We recorded a 37% strike rate across the trial (including placed horses) —impressively high given the mix of prices—and that underpinned the smooth equity curve.

Winners arrived regularly enough to keep drawdowns comfortable and confidence intact.

Advised Betting Bank: There was no betting bank recommended but we used a 100-point betting bank for the purposes of our trial. With a 37% hit rate and measured bet volume, that felt more than adequate in practice.

Conservative users could stretch to 120–150 points for extra headroom, but 100 points was perfectly sufficient for us during the review.

Subscription costs: At £29.99/month or £199.99/year, the pricing is very reasonable relative to the performance shown. Even at moderate £10 per point or £5 per point stakes, there’s plenty of room to cover fees and build the bank over time.

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

A top-class year from a top-class racing judge. There’s no doubt Andy Holding Tips offers one of the most compelling long-term packages we’ve tested: consistent profits, sensible bet volume, and a methodology that stands up to scrutiny.

For us, this is an easy five-star sign-off.

It’s all been plain sailing for Oddschecker Plus tipster Andy Holding in our trial and he has sealed yet more gains over the last month, with a profit of 26 points made at advised prices since our last update.

That means he is now 131 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.

The results at Betfair SP have been solid but remain well behind those at advised prices, with a profit of 9 points made at BSP since our last update and 48 points profit made for our trial to date at BSP.

So it looks like using Betfair SP could be a viable option for this service, but the profits will be considerably less than those achieved at advised prices.

Andy Holding Tips – Results Update

1oth December 2024

Horse racing service Oddschecker Plus tipster Andy Holding continues to move along nicely, with a profit of 5 points made at advised prices since our last update.

That means he is now 77 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here.

The results at Betfair SP have dropped quite a bit behind the results at advised prices however, with a loss of 27 points made at BSP since our last update, putting Andy 28 points up for our trial to date at BSP.

Just a note that on the results spreadsheet we are also recording the “Price Available” in column E.

This is usually around 11-12 in the morning, so a good couple of hours or so after tips are released. 

Sometimes the odds do rebound by this time and liquidity is good in the markets by late morning, so it seems like a good time to note the available prices. 

 

 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Andy Holding Tips – Results Update

1st November 2024

It’s been an excellent start to our trial of Oddschecker Plus tipster Andy Holding, with a profit of 72 points made so far at advised prices. 

You can view full results here.

The results at Betfair SP have held up pretty well too, with a profit of 55 points made for our trial to date at BSP.

The pattern here – which we often see with popular services – is the outsiders sometimes go off at a higher BSP than the advised odds, whereas the shorter odds selections tend to get backed in. 

For example, Carrytheone at Ascot which was advised at 11/1 and went off a BSP of 20 and Marakova at Longchamp was advised at 16/1 and went off a BSP of 20.81. 

In any event, when all is said and done the BSP results have held up solidly when you consider how heavily the tips tend to be initially backed. 

So if you are struggling to get the advised prices with the bookies, just going for the BSP could be an option. 

Just an additional note that Andy was on holiday from 24th October to 1st November, hence why there are no tips recorded for that period.

Andy Holding Tips – New Review

1st October 2024

We are starting a new review today of a horse racing tipster called Andy Holding. 

Andy is quite a big name in the tipping business and is one of the resident horse racing tipsters at Oddschecker. 

He also has his own speed ratings site but this review will be of his tips at Oddschecker. 

According to the Oddschecker website, Andy made an average of 137 points profit per year from 2018-2023.

There is no breakdown of this on a yearly basis other than a profit of +34.96 points made in 2023, nor a full results spreadsheet, but those are very good headline numbers in any event. 

Andy developed a love of horse racing at an early age and become a professional bettor at around age 30. 

He is so highly regarded by his peers that he’s apparently often referred to as “The pundit’s pundit.”

Andy is a frequent commentator on William Hill Radio, where listeners have come to rely on his vast knowledge of the form book.

Andy also creates his own speed figures and sectional times for all UK and Irish races, both Flat and Jumps, which as mentioned can be accessed via his own site. 

His Oddschecker tips are available as part of the “Oddschecker Premium Service”, which costs £19.99 per month.

As one of the most popular tipsters in the UK we are looking forward to trialing Andy’s service and in particular to see how his prices hold up.

We will get the review underway today then and will report back here soon on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Oddschecker Plus tipster Andy Holding for yourself here. 

 

 

Horse Racing Oracle – Results Update

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Things have taken a turn for the worse for betting bot the Horse Racing Oracle, with a loss of £113 made since our last update.

You can view full results here.

However, those bare numbers don’t tell the whole story unfortunately. On 6th August they actually blew through the betting bank, with seven bets in a row losing.

There wasn’t any money left in the bank to place the eighth bet, but in their official results it is recorded as a bet in any event.

Then on 15th September they lost seven bets in a row and the bank went from £1294 to £271, so losing over £1,000 in a day! 

This is exactly the kind of thing we warned about in previous updates and why we do not recommend loss recovery staking, Martingale or otherwise. The chance of blowing the bank – or a large part of it – is just not worth the risk. 

Often loss recovery staking is used to cover up a strategy that doesn’t work – for a period of time it can work and make results look good. It always unravels in the end though.

We don’t think that is necessarily the case here however, which is why we decided to also track the results at one-point level stakes.

At those one point level stakes they have lost 18 points since our last update but sit 12 points up for our trial overall. You can see results for 1-point stakes in the second tab of our results spreadsheet. 

So the strategy in itself (minus the loss-recovery staking) has been profitable so far, which is good to see.

The Horse Racing Oracle team have recently added an option for the bot to place a fixed percentage of a user’s live balance which they can set (e.g., 2% or 5%) on each qualifying bet. There’s no recovery logic — each bet is independent. The bot stops after the first win or after 4 losing bets.

We are pleased to see this and would recommend using that above loss recovery staking for sure, although we would also like to see a level stakes option added too.

Anyway, it’s been an eventful trial so far to say the least, but we’ll continue tracking the results at level stakes and see if they can stay in profit on that basis.

 

 

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

Horse Racing Oracle – Results Update

6th August 2025

It’s been a strong start to our trial of betting bot the Horse Racing Oracle, with a profit of £478 made so far from a £100 starting bank. 

You can view full results here.

As a reminder, this is a fully automated betting bot for Betfair which automatically:

  • Finds qualifying races (based on strict criteria set by the team behind the bot)
  • Calculates stakes (based on the profit target that the user wants to achieve – this is capped at 2% per day to manage risk)
  • Places bets (users connect their Betfair account to enable this)
  • Tracks results and performance

Essentially you can choose your betting bank at the start according to your preferences.

As mentioned in the review introduction, in essence this is a form of loss-recovery as the staking increases after losing bets to try and recover the previous losses in the next bet. 

As regular followers will know we are not huge fans of loss-recovery staking, as the losses can really mount up. If you had a run of 8 losers on the day, the losses could be over 60% of the starting bank – ouch. 

That would just about be okay if it happened once given the profits made so far – it would still leave you well in profit overall from when we started. 

The problem would be if there were two or more such instances in a short period of time, which would be pretty devastating to the betting bank.  

So for scenarios such as these we like to see if the system in question can still make a profit at level stakes.

The good news on that front is that this one has so far made 30 points profit at one point level stakes, which you can see in the second tab of our results spreadsheet. 

The system is working well in itself then, which is good to see. 

Although it’s early days, this bot does look promising – we just have to see if it can keep these results going.

Horse Racing Oracle – New Review

2nd July 2025

We are starting a new review today of a betting bot for Betfair called Horse Racing Oracle. 

The bot implements a horse racing system based around backing strong favourites in UK horse racing. 

The system is designed to help achieve daily profits through strategic horse racing betting. Horse Racing Oracle provide their users with daily qualifying races to bet on, backed by a robust staking plan which aims to help users:

  • Achieve daily profit target and then stop betting for the day
  • Remain disciplined and only bet on races that meet their strict qualifying criteria
  • Manage risk by following their robust staking plan that adapts based on your win/loss record

It is a fully automated betting bot which automatically:

  • Finds qualifying races (based on strict criteria they have set)
  • Calculates stakes (based on the profit target that the user wants to achieve – this is capped at 2% per day to manage risk)
  • Places bets (users connect their Betfair account to enable this)
  • Tracks results and performance

The app and bot are fully tested and approved by Betfair and are part of their Vendor app programme – which by the way doesn’t mean it will necessarily be profitable, but means the technology of the app and its functionality are up to the standards Betfair demands to be approved on their Vendor app programme.

We have tested some betting bots for Betfair before and none of them have proved very successful sadly, so we approach this with a dose of caution.

However, early results look good and it does look like a very polished product. 

Just a word on staking for the bot. We have asked the developers of Horse Racing Oracle what the staking system is and they have kindly clarified for us that: 

“The staking aims to achieve the daily profit target (also covering Betfair commission). If the first bet wins, then the bot stops for the day. If the first bet loses, then the bot takes those losses into account when calculating the stakes for the next bet.

So in summary, the stake for each bet, takes into account the odds for the race, and the profit target (plus any losses from previously occurring bets in that same day).

The goal is to achieve the daily profit target in a maximum of 8 bets and to stop betting for the day once it is achieved. If the bot goes 8 bets without achieving the profit (very unlikely scenario), then the bot accepts the losses and stops for the day.”

In essence then it is a form of loss-recovery as the staking increases after losing bets to try and recover the previous losses in the next bet. As regular followers will know we are not huge fans of loss-recovery staking, or at the very least we like to see if the system can still make a profit at level stakes.

If it can then the underlying system may well be sound, but if not then the question arises as to the effectiveness of the system itself. 

In any event, we will tackle all this in our review, which should be an interesting one and we are looking forward to. 

It’s been a while since we’ve had anything innovative like this to test so credit to the developers and fingers crossed for a positive trial. 

We gained access to the bot on 12th June so will record results from then. As usual we will update results here as we go along so you can see for yourself how the bot is getting on.

Two Big Royal Ascot Winners (28/1 & 20/1!) – Don’t Miss This Tipster

/0 Comments/in , , /by

One of our top recommended horse racing tipsters, Loves Racing, is a service we’ve highlighted a few times before — particularly his bets for major festivals such as Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood, and more.

These tips have delivered excellent results over the years, and they’re ones we follow with our own money.

There are very few services — out of the hundreds we’ve tested — that we trust enough to back with our own cash.

Well, yesterday our faith was rewarded once again: Loves Racing landed two superb winners at Royal Ascot:

  • 14:30 – Docklands at 28/1 – WON
  • 15:40 – American Affair at 20/1 – WON

We don’t know if any other tipster managed to find two 20/1+ winners yesterday — but there can’t have been many!

👉 You can check out Loves Racing for yourself here.

Loves Racing’s festival bets have now made over 300 points profit at Betfair SP, with an ROI of 24% — not far behind the 370 points profit at a 30% ROI at advised prices.

And the service has made over 820 points profit in total since launching in 2017.

That would be over £20,500 profit at £25 per point.

You can check out our original review of the service here.

With four more days of Royal Ascot and a summer of top-class flat racing ahead, it’s a fantastic time to get involved and enjoy more big winners.

The Betting Favourites to Win the 2025 Epsom Derby

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Horse racing has a wonderful way of throwing up moments of sheer dominance — or utter surprise. And few races capture that drama quite like the Epsom Derby.

Held annually at the iconic Epsom Downs Racecourse, the Derby is the crown jewel of British flat racing and arguably the most prestigious race of its kind anywhere in the world.

With the 2025 edition just around the corner, excitement is building — and so is speculation around the top contenders.

As always, the betting markets offer a useful guide to who the key runners are, and this year a fascinating trio of favourites have emerged: The Lion in Winter, Ruling Court and Delacroix.

Let’s take a closer look at these main players in what promises to be a memorable renewal of the Derby.

The Lion in Winter Leads the Market at 7/2

Topping the betting for the 2025 Epsom Derby is The Lion in Winter, currently best priced at 7/2.

Trained by the legendary Aidan O’Brien, this colt has captured the attention of punters and racing experts alike with dominant performances as a two-year-old, including going away when winning impressively on debut at the Curragh and then following that up with a superb win in a Group 3 at York last Summer. 

What sets The Lion in Winter apart is his combination of raw speed and a cool, unflustered running style.

He’s already proven he can handle a mile, and the expectation is that stepping up to the Derby’s mile-and-a-half distance won’t pose any issues — especially given his strong late finishes.

O’Brien has made the Derby his personal playground in recent years, and with The Lion in Winter, he looks to have another serious contender for a record-extending 11th win in the race.

Delacroix Emerging as a Major Threat

While the spotlight has largely been on The Lion in Winter in the run up to the Derby, another serious contender has emerged in the form of Delacroix, currently shortening in the betting into a price of around 3/1 after an eye-catching trial performance.

Trained by Aidan O’Brien, Delacroix is fast becoming one of the most talked-about horses heading into the 2025 Epsom Derby.

His recent victory in a key Derby trial at Leopardstown turned heads, not just because he won — but how he won.

Showing a potent mix of stamina and flair, Delacroix hit the front with authority and powered clear in the closing stages, strongly suggesting he’ll relish the mile-and-a-half trip at Epsom.

That performance clearly made an impression on the Ballydoyle camp, with O’Brien himself commenting that it would be “hard for Ryan Moore not to ride him” given the commanding nature of his run.

What makes Delacroix even more intriguing is his progression. He’s a horse who has clearly improved with each outing, gaining confidence and maturity — the exact profile you want in a Derby contender.

While others may have more hype, Delacroix is fast gaining momentum as a late mover in the market.

With his proven ability to handle undulating ground and a tactical versatility that suits a complex race like the Derby, Delacroix looks poised to play a significant role. If he continues on this upward curve, he could well give O’Brien yet another Derby victory — and at a price that still offers plenty of value for punters.

Ruling Court Enters the Frame After Guineas Win

After his impressive win in the 2,000 Guineas, the Charlie Appleby-trained Ruling Court has seen his odds slashed for the Derby, from around 12/1 into just 4/1. 

That is not surprising given the quality of his performance and the way he moved clear of his rivals at Newmarket.

That win came off a triumph in the Jumeirah Guineas, a listed race at Meydan over a mile in March, after winning a maiden at Sandown on debut and finishing third to The Lion in Winter in a Group 3 race at York last summer.

The Kentucky-based Godolphin horse has yet to run more than 8 furlongs and there are question marks over whether he has the stamina for the exertions of the Epsom course.

Connections do not appear to be worried on that front however, with jockey William Buick, who rode him to the 2,000 Guineas win commenting afterwards: “He feels like a horse who could get further as well. A huge engine and that was only his fourth run.”

The bigger question may be whether Ruling Court can get the better of The Lion in Winter and overturn the form from York last year.

The bookies can barely separate them at the moment so it looks like it could be a fascinating contest at Epsom in June.

Contender Twain Withdrawn

One of the more intriguing contenders in the 2025 field was Twain, who traded around the 8/1 mark but has now sadly been withdrawn from the race.

Also trained by Aidan O’Brien, this colt is seen as a classic middle-distance type and has been expertly handled throughout his career so far.

A hugely impressive six length victory on debut at Leopardstown at odds of 28/1 was followed up by a gutsy win in the Group One Criterium International over at Saint Cloud in France. 

Twain did have a 2,000 Guineas entry, but it was decided to withdraw him from that and now from the Derby too. 

Without any form to go on this year it is tough to gauge Twain’s true chances in the race. With a lineage that includes past Derby winner Montjeu, few should doubt his class however.

Twain does still have entries in the Irish Derby and Coral-Eclipse so he should get the chance to prove his worth later this season. 

One of the Most Open Derbies in Years?

While The Lion in Winter is the clear market leader for now, this year’s Derby has the feel of a wide-open contest.

Each of the top three in the betting brings something different to the table — class, staying power, or a touch of the unknown — and none can be confidently ruled out.

Much may depend on how the race unfolds tactically, and as always, track position and handling the undulating Epsom course will be key. But with these three exciting prospects leading the way, the 2025 Epsom Derby is shaping up to be one for the ages.

 

Three Horse Racing Betting Tips for the Latter Half of 2025

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The first half of 2025 was a blockbuster one in the world of sports. In February, we saw the Philadelphia Eagles ransack the Kansas City Chiefs and torpedo their hopes of completing a history-making threepeat.

Earlier this month, we saw Liverpool claim their second Premier League title in five years thanks to a blistering campaign under new manager Arne Slot, with his side’s exploits ending Manchester City’s four-year stranglehold on English football.

In the coming weeks, there is plenty to be excited about, too. Staying with the beautiful game, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will contest the Champions League final on May 31st, while the aforementioned Nerazzurri also have to find a way to hold off Antonio Conte’s rampant Napoli in the Serie A title race.

Summer traditionally becomes a quieter time in the sporting world, but one sport that continues to power on is the spectacle that is horse racing.

So far this year, we have witnessed plenty of thrills and spills over in the UK at the illustrious Cheltenham Festival, while America’s flagship race, the Kentucky Derby, also garnered plenty of headlines.

Now, attention turns toward the back end of the year, and there are plenty of blockbuster races scheduled between now and the dawn of 2026. But which prized steeds are contenders to win them? Let’s take a look.

Sovereignty to Win the Breeders’ Cup Classic

Sovereignty is a name that already resonates with horse racing fans after a spectacular victory at the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago.

It was really quite something to see! Despite closing as a +700 outsider at the Churchill Downs showdown, the three-year-old colt managed to rally down the stretch, overturning a narrow margin to the short-priced pre-race favourite Journalism to ultimately reign supreme.

That triumph certainly caught the eye of horse race betting providers and oddsmakers, and now the champion of Kentucky has been earmarked as a contender to crown a stunning breakout year with victory in America’s richest race, the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

The latest horse racing betting at Bovada odds makes Bill Mott’s charge a +1000 shot to reign supreme at Del Mar later this Fall – a price that certainly seems generous considering just how well-rested he will be.

Mott and the powers that be surrounding Sovereignty have opted to resist the lure of the Triple Crown, choosing to skip the upcoming Preakness Stakes in a bid to focus their efforts entirely on the latter part of the year.

He is expected to feature in the Belmont Stakes in June, but the news of his shelving will be welcome to those looking to back the thoroughbred in the Classic later this year.

Historically, horses rested during the Triple Crown circuit returned to dominate key races later in the year, and that could result in Sovereignty bringing the campaign down on a stellar year with another huge victory.

The Lion in Winter To Win the Epsom Derby

Over in the UK, The Lion in Winter is positioned as the favourite to win the upcoming Epsom Derby, arguably Britain’s most prestigious flat race.

Aidan O’Brien’s two-year-old remains unbeaten, and with both impressive recent performances and pedigree on his side, the bookies have positioned him as the short-priced +275 favourite to reign supreme in June.

The Ryan Moore-ridden colt has already demonstrated exceptional ability in his outings thus far, and he has been in scintillating form throughout his two-year-old season.

A standout victory in the Acomb Stakes at York showcased his class, breaking the track record and defeating the highly-rated 2000 Guineas winner Ruling Court.

He is expected to be his biggest rival once again at Epsom, with the bookies currently pricing him as the +400 second favourite, but it’s The Lion in Winter that remains the frontrunner.

But it isn’t just The Derby in which O’Brien’s charge could reign supreme. He is also being listed as a +1000 contender to win the St Leger in September.

The Doncaster showpiece is the third leg of the British Triple Crown, much like The Derby is the second, and if The Lion in Winter can end the season by winning 66% of the storied series, he will surely have positioned himself as the colt to beat on the flat racing stage.

Ka Ying Rising to Win The Everest

Australia’s The Everest is one of the most lucrative horse races on the planet and offers up a whopping prize to its victor. The short six-furlong showdown is, without question, riveting, but this year, it has an overwhelming favourite.

That, of course, is the sensational Ka Ying Rising, a horse positioned as the even-money betting favourite and for good reason. With 12 consecutive wins, including multiple Group 1 triumphs, this Hong Kong superstar has cemented itself as the world’s top-rated sprinter.

His blistering speed was on full display in the recent Centenary Sprint Cup victory, where he exploded past his rivals in Sha Tin to win in record-breaking time. Under David Hayes’ exceptional training and with Zac Purton on board, this sprinter looks poised to breeze toward Everest glory.

Renegade Racing – New Review

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We are starting a new review today of a service called Renegade Racing.

This is a horse racing tipster from the Betting Gods stable of tipsters and although it has only been going a short time, has caused quite a stir in the tipping community.

The results since starting up in November last year have been stellar, with a profit of 54 points made to date.

That has been achieved with exceptional stats of a 36% ROI and 62% strike rate. 

Those metrics are pretty outstanding and will be hard to maintain in the long run – although anything even vaguely close to those will still be very impressive. 

Follow the service at Betfair SP and you would have boosted the profits by a further 55% so far. We are interested to see if that continues during our trial. 

The service has been on red hot form since launch, with 26 of the last 35 bets having won. 

We haven’t seen a tipster start off this well for quite some time. 

However, it’s important not to get too carried away with these promising early results and to see how the service performs over the next few months under live trial conditions. 

So we will get things underway today and will include results from 14th February when we started receiving tips.

We will update things here as we go along as usual. 

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

Insider Edge Bets – Full Review

 

We have come to the end of our four-month trial of Insider Edge Bets and it’s time to wrap up with our final thoughts.

This service covers both horse racing and greyhounds, with bets sent out via Telegram, typically around 4 selections per day.

It claims to be based on “insider” information from a network of industry contacts, including trainers and owners.

While we’re often sceptical about such claims, this time we may have found a rare case where it’s actually worth taking seriously.

So how did it get on during our live trial?

Results

Over the course of the trial, the service delivered some very strong results.

A total profit of +148 points was made at advised prices, representing a bank growth of 99% and an ROI (return on investment) of 26%.

The strike rate came in at 33% (including places selections), which is perfectly respectable given the kind of prices they’re tipping at – often in the 3/1 to 6/1 range and higher.

These are very impressive figures as we say. Nearly doubling the bank in just four months is no mean feat and puts this service firmly in the “serious profit-maker” category.

However, there are a few important things to break down in the results.

Greyhounds vs Horse Racing

Perhaps the most striking aspect of this trial was where the profits came from:

  • Greyhounds: +139 points
  • Horse Racing: +9 points

So, while the service covers both sports, it’s fair to say that the greyhound tips have done the heavy lifting.

Now, this brings us to one of the main caveats with Insider Edge Bets…

The Price Crash Problem

The prices on the greyhound tips get smashed in very quickly. We’re talking some of the fastest price moves we’ve seen in a trial here at HBR.

A dog tipped at 9/2 can be cut to 9/4 in a matter of minutes after the tip is released. That means you need to:

  • Have a spread of active bookmaker accounts (Bet365, Skybet, Ladbrokes, Coral etc are key).
  • Be fast – have the greyhound markets open and ready before tips are posted.
  • Ideally be set up to act the moment the alert comes through.

They do provide a short warning before a tip is released, which is helpful, but if you’re slow or only using Betfair SP (BSP), your results could be very different.

There is also the risk of bookie account restrictions or closures with tips such as these that are heavily backed – particularly the greyhound tips. 

Betfair SP Results

We tracked BSP alongside advised prices during the trial. Here’s how that looked:

  • Greyhounds BSP: +11 points
  • Horses BSP: -7 points

So, while BSP has been profitable on greyhounds, it’s only a fraction of the advised price profit.

It’s a possible fallback if you don’t want to use bookies, but clearly not ideal.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Insider Edge Bets delivers selections via a private Telegram channel, at various times during the day. The tips are easy to follow and clearly laid out with the selection, odds, bookmaker, and stake.

There’s usually a short alert a few minutes before tips are posted, which gives you time to log in to your bookie accounts and get prepared.

That said, you do need to be available at the time tips are released and act quickly, particularly for greyhounds, as prices move extremely fast. If you’re someone who can’t be at your phone or computer at those times, you may struggle to match the advised prices consistently.

Availability of prices: This is probably the biggest challenge with the service. As mentioned in the main review, the greyhound prices get hammered within minutes of being released – in some cases slashed by as much as 50%.

If you’re not lightning-quick or if you only have access to one or two bookie accounts, it’s unlikely you’ll consistently get the advertised odds. Over time, this could result in a significant drop in your profits compared to the official results. 

That said, some members have reported still doing well even when getting a few ticks worse, and the BSP results for greyhounds did show a modest profit.

But to match the headline results, quick reactions and multiple bookmaker accounts are essential. The other issue you may face is having your bookie accounts restricted or closed if you are following these tips for an extended period of time.  

Strike rate: The strike rate during our trial was 33%, which is quite solid considering the prices tipped are often in the 3/1 to 6/1 range and beyond.

It helped keep drawdowns fairly manageable and ensured a good rhythm of regular winners. It’s not a high strike-rate service, so there will be losing runs, but the average odds mean the profits soon catch up.

Advised Betting Bank: No official bank size is advised by the service, so for the purposes of our trial we used a 150-point bank, which we feel is reasonable given the volume of bets and the range of odds.

The maximum drawdown during our trial was around 24 points, so a 150-point bank would have provided ample cover for variance while allowing for healthy compounding as profits grew.

Subscription costs: The service offers a free 3-day trial, after which it’s £25 per month. There are also options to sign up for £50 for 3 months or £250 for lifetime.

Given the results achieved during our trial – and even allowing for some reduction in returns due to price movement – this represents good value for money. Just bear in mind you’ll need to be actively engaged and ready to bet quickly to get the most from your subscription.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

There’s no question this is a high-quality service with serious profit potential – particularly on the greyhound side.

If you can get the advised prices, this is one of the most lucrative tipsters we’ve trialled in recent times. The ROI of 26% and bank growth of 99% speak for themselves.

However, it does come with a warning: to follow the service successfully, you’ll need fast fingers, unrestricted bookie accounts, and preferably access to multiple firms. And there is always the risk of bookie account closures or restrictions when following heavily-backed tips like these. 

As long as you aware of those things going in and can handle them though, Insider Edge Bets is a service well worth adding to your portfolio.

Insider Edge Bets – Results Update

Yet more strong progress (at advised prices at least) for horse racing & greyhound service Insider Edge Bets, with a profit of 29 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 148 points up at advised prices for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here. 

As mentioned in previous updates, it’s important to break down the results here as there are some key points to note.

Firstly, the discrepancy between the horse racing and greyhound results at advised prices continues, with the net P/L for both for our trial so far being: 

  • Horse racing: +9 points
  • Greyhounds: +139 points

(You can see the results broken down by sport in the tabs at the bottom of our results spreadsheet). 

So as you can see, virtually all the profit for our trial to date has come from the greyhounds.

And as mentioned last time, the prices on the greyhounds do get hit very hard. 

The Betfair SP results for the two sports for our trial to date are:

  • Horses: -7 points
  • Greyhounds: +11 points

So the jury is still out on whether it is viable to follow the greyhound selections at Betfair SP, but what is clear is that there is a big advantage to being able to use bookie accounts – presuming you can get the prices of course.

Insider Edge Bets – Results Update

10th January 2025

Things continue to move along nicely (at advised prices at least) for horse racing & greyhound service Insider Edge Bets, with a profit of 58 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 119 points up at advised prices for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here. 

As mentioned last time, there’s a lot to unpick with this service. 

Firstly, there has been a big discrepancy thus far between the horse racing and greyhound results at advised prices:

  • Horse racing: +3 points
  • Greyhounds: +115 points

(You can see the results broken down by sport in the tabs at the bottom of our results spreadsheet). 

So as you can see, virtually all the profit for our trial to date has come from the greyhounds.

And as mentioned last time, the prices on the greyhounds get absolutely pulverised. 

The Betfair SP results for the two sports for our trial to date are:

  • Horses: -5 points
  • Greyhounds: +18 points

So on the one hand that illustrates how severely prices get hammered, but on the other hand indicates there might be some scope to follow the greyhound selections at Betfair.

We stress “might” because +18 points isn’t conclusive so far, but is something to be monitored in any event.

As to following the tips at the bookies, whilst the headline results are very good it does come with a health warning that you would be at risk of bookie restrictions if following these tips, particularly the greyhound ones. 

 

 

 

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

Insider Edge Bets – Results Update

4th December 2024

It’s been a good start to our trial of horse racing & greyhound service Insider Edge Bets, with a profit of 61 points made for our trial so far to advised prices. 

You can view full results here. 

This is a very interesting service and there’s a lot to unpack so we’ll do our best to summarise our findings so far: 

Firstly, there has been a big discrepancy thus far between the horse racing and greyhound results at advised prices:

  • Horse racing: -17 points
  • Greyhounds: +78 points

(You can see the results broken down by sport in the tabs at the bottom of our results spreadsheet). 

So as you can see, all the profit for our trial to date has come from the greyhounds.

Secondly, the prices on the greyhounds get absolutely hammered. And quickly.

These are some of the fastest price cuts we have seen in a review for quite a while. 

It is not unusual to see a dog recommended at 9/2 for example get cut to 9/4, 2/1, even 6/4, within minutes of the tip being posted. 

So to get anywhere near the advised prices, you need a good spread of bookie accounts (e.g. Bet365, Skybet, Ladbrokes/Coral, Wills etc) and you need to work very fast once tips are posted on Telegram.

You really need to have your bookie sites open on the greyhound page and accounts funded ready for the tip to be sent. Fortunately they do post a warning that a tips is coming a few minutes before to give you the chance to prepare.

Thirdly, the Betfair SP results for the greyhound tips – whilst significantly below those at advised prices, have still been profitable so far with 22 points made at BSP for our trial to date.

It will be very interesting to see if they continue to be profitable at BSP because this could be a viable way to follow the service for those without bookie accounts (or those not wanting to risk their bookie accounts being restricted). So watch this space on that one.

Finally of note is that the horse racing results have actually been doing better at Betfair SP than the advised prices in our trial to date, with a loss of 11 points made at BSP versus -17 points at advised prices. 

So again it will be interesting to see if that holds up for the remainder of our trial.

Insider Edge Bets – New Review

16th October 2024

We are starting a new review today of a horse racing and greyhound service called Insider Edge Bets. 

Insider Edge Betting was apparently born from a collective vision among a group of industry professionals, aiming to give bettors a clear edge over bookmakers.

They saw the demand for a trustworthy platform where betting becomes a calculated, strategic pursuit, driven by expert knowledge and thorough analysis.

Leveraging years of experience from both the betting industry and ownership side, they say they’ve developed their expertise and built a vast network of respected contacts, including trainers and owners of horses and greyhounds.

They say these contacts regularly supply them with insider information on key ‘gambles’ in a sport where such opportunities are abundant.

Regular readers will know we are usually sceptical about tipsters claiming to be in receipt of “insider information,” as most of the time the claims are false, or if the tipsters are receiving inside info then that info isn’t very good, as they still make a loss.

However, this might just be one of those occasions when it should be taken seriously. 

We have heard good things about this service from trusted sources and the results to date look very encouraging. 

Since starting up at the beginning of the year, they have made over 360 points profit. 

Every month so far has been profitable and some have seen over 50 points profit made. 

It’s quite unusual to see a service covering both horse racing and greyhounds but they seem to make it work. 

It provides more bet volume of course and perhaps the chance to accumulate more profit than just focusing on one sport. 

In any event, this is certainly one of the more intriguing services we have come across in a while so it will be very interesting to see how it performs under a live trial. 

So we will get things underway and will report back here soon as usual on how they are getting on.

In the meantime you can check out Insider Edge Bets for yourself here.

The Bet Professor – Full Review

 

The Bet Professor is a horse racing tipster that operates under the Punt Hub umbrella, and after an extended review period, it has delivered very impressive results.

With a total profit of +292 points at advised prices, the service has demonstrated strong profitability over the course of our trial.

This equates to an impressive 292% bank growth, meaning that a starting bank would have nearly quadrupled during the trial period.

One of the key metrics we look at is Return on Investment (ROI), and The Bet Professor has managed to maintain a solid 11% ROI, which is a very respectable return for a horse racing service over a period of more than two years.

This suggests that the selections consistently find value, which is a crucial factor for long-term betting success.

Bet Volume and Strike Rate

The service provides a manageable 1-2 bets per day, which makes it easy to follow compared to some tipsters that require placing dozens of bets daily.

The strike rate of 16% is on the lower side, which is typical for a service that focuses on bigger-priced selections. This means there will be losing streaks, so patience and a disciplined staking plan are essential.

Bookmaker vs. Betfair SP Performance

One notable finding from our review is that The Bet Professor performs significantly better at advised prices than at Betfair Starting Price (BSP).

Throughout the trial, we observed a consistent disparity between advised prices and BSP, with the latter lagging well behind.

In fact, Betfair SP followers would have suffered a loss of 66 points, whereas those taking advised prices at bookmakers have enjoyed substantial profits.

This suggests that the service is finding strong closing line value (CLV), meaning odds tend to shorten after selections are tipped, a positive indicator of an edge over the market.

However, it also means that access to multiple bookmaker accounts is necessary to get the best possible returns.

We are also being more mindful these days of price availability and whether those with bookie accounts can achieve the advised prices. 

For the majority of our trial most of the tips were sent out the night before racing, when markets are thin and it can be tough to get bets on.

Over the last few months they have switched to the morning of racing which is a welcome change but it remains to be seen if they can maintain the previous profit levels now they are tipping in the morning. 

Overall we are happy to award the service a PASSED rating as it delivered impressive and consistent results over the course of more than two years. 

However, it does come with the slight caveat that bookie accounts are needed and for most of the trial tips were sent out the night before racing. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out e-mail, as we say on the morning of racing these days. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1-2 bets per day on average the workload is pretty manageable. 

Availability of prices: Price availability was a bit of an issue during most of our trial, as discussed above regarding tips being sent out the evening before racing. Often prices would contract quite considerably by the time of the race. This is less of an issue now that tips are sent in the morning but it remains to be seen if the previous profit levels can be maintained.   

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was a little on the low side at 16% but we didn’t experience any extended drawdowns during our trial which was good. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 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 £10 for first month then £25 per month or £60 quarter if paying by Paypal or £30 per month if paying by credit card. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Overall, The Bet Professor has produced impressive results and passes our review. The profit of +292 points, combined with strong bank growth and a solid ROI, makes it a very promising tipster service.

The main caveat is that it is not viable at BSP, so bookmaker accounts are required to follow the selections successfully and most of the profits were made from early prices the evening before racing.

So we’ll have to see if the results hold up in the long run now they are taking morning prices, but certainly up to now the results have been impressive overall.

The Bet Professor – Results Update

9th September 2024

There’s been a slight dip for horse racing tipster The Bet Professor lately, with a loss of 16 points made at advised prices since our last update.

However they are still 260 points up at advised prices for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

The Betfair SP results continue to trail well behind those at advised prices, with a loss of 34 points made since our last update and 74 points lost for our trial to date at BSP.

So we would not recommend following this tipster at Betfair SP – it is only to follow them at the bookmakers. 

However, the results do indicate they are achieving strong CLV (closing line value) which is a good sign of being able to find value in their selections.

The Bet Professor – New Review

9th August 2022

We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing tipster called The Bet Professor.

Based at the Punt Hub stable of tipsters, they are supposedly “hard at work solving the betting equations and know exactly how to bring you a profit.”

Looking at the results achieved to date, they look pretty good at it too!

Having been tipping for just over nine months now, they have delivered an excellent 288 points profit so far according to the results on the Punt Hub website.

That has been achieved with a return on investment of 22% and a strike rate of a little over 17%.

The Betfair SP profit, whilst not quite as impressive, is still decent at 62 points made so far.

One thing to bear in mind with this service if you are thinking of following it is there quite a lot of tips – often 10-15 per day, so it is more time-consuming to follow than some other tipsters. 

If they can keep producing the same kind of profit it looks like the extra effort could be worth it however. 

We actually started proofing these tips on 21st June so will record results from then. As ever results will be updated here so you can see how they are getting on. 

In the meantime you can check out The Bet Professor for yourself here.

* Just a note that the Punt Hub website is still being redeveloped which is why the info is not all complete on the page.
