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 rhy
