Blue Chip Naps – Full Review
Our trial of horse racing tipster Blue Chip Naps has come to an end. It finished with a small profit of +5 points at advised prices, from 248 settled bets over about 20 months.
Blue Chip Naps comes from the Matthew Walton stable. It focuses on a small number of short-priced selections in UK and Irish racing.
Before our trial it had a 44% strike rate and an ROI of over 30%, so expectations were reasonably high.
How the trial went
It was a quiet start, with the service around break-even through the autumn of 2024. Things picked up nicely over the winter. A superb February 2025 brought +11.5 points, and by mid-March the trial was +20 points up at its peak.
Unfortunately that turned out to be the high point. Over the following eleven months the service slowly gave those profits back, and by mid-February 2026 it was almost 7 points down for the trial overall.
That was a peak-to-trough drawdown of around 27 points. The losses were never dramatic in any single month, but there was no sustained recovery either. Only 12 of the 21 months made a profit.
To its credit, Blue Chip Naps finished strongly. It won six of its last seven bets in April 2026 and moved back into profit just in time for the end of the trial.
Strike rate and odds
The average advised price was just under 3.0, which fits the “blue chip” approach. At those odds, a strike rate of roughly 34% or more is needed just to break even.
Blue Chip Naps managed 36%, which is enough to stay slightly ahead but well short of the 44% it was achieving before our trial began. That difference largely explains why the ROI fell from over 30% to 2%.
Advised prices vs Betfair SP
At Betfair SP the service made +1 point, so there was very little difference from the advised prices.
That is a positive in one sense: you don’t need to chase early prices to get similar results. But it also shows how thin the margins have been overall.
Positives
- Finished in profit at both advised prices and Betfair SP
- Very manageable workload, with around three bets per week
- Short-priced selections mean losing runs stay fairly modest
- Results don’t depend heavily on securing the advised odds
Negatives
- Only a marginal profit after a 20-month trial
- Strike rate well below the pre-trial figure of 44%
- A long, slow decline from March 2025 to February 2026 would have tested most subscribers’ patience
- Once subscription costs are taken into account, most members would probably have lost money over the trial
Overall Verdict
Blue Chip Naps has delivered a small profit, a sensible number of bets and results that hold up at Betfair SP. However, +5 points from nearly 250 bets is not enough to show a convincing long-term edge, especially after the service peaked at +20 points early on.
The strong finish is encouraging, and the approach clearly has merit. But we can’t award a PASSED rating from a trial that was essentially break-even for most of its duration, so Blue Chip Naps receives a NEUTRAL verdict from us.

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