The Form Guy – Full Review
The Form Guy is a relatively new horse racing service that comes from a chap called Steve who has been both a bookmaker and a punter.
He has been around horse racing since a young age and been studying form ever since, putting in many hours work per week.
He says systems help with the initial shortlisting but it’s form study that whittles down a long list of selections to the very best bets with the highest chance of winning.
We ran an extended 12 month trial of the service, which gave us a good sample size of 778 bets.
The tips come with detailed write-ups and you can see that Steve really studies the form closely when making his picks. It’s also reassuring to know a tipster isn’t just randomly sticking a pin in a piece of paper to come up with their selections!
Clearly all that work is worthwhile because at the end of our review, the Form Guy finished with an excellent profit of 132 points at advised prices.
That was achieved with a solid strike rate of 29% (including placed horses) and a commendable return on investment (ROI) of 15%.
As you can see from the graph below, it was very steady upward progress throughout the trial:
One of the most positive aspects of the service was that it also made strong gains at Betfair SP, with a profit of 82 points made at BSP.
Overall then there really isn’t anything you could fault the service on and an awful lot to like.
After a very successful trial we are pleased to award The Form Guy a PASSED rating and it is a service we will follow with interest.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, normally the evening before racing but occasionally in the morning (UK time). Either way there is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 2 bets per day on average the workload is very manageable.
Availability of prices: We didn’t notice a huge impact on prices, although it is advisable to get the bets on in the evening rather than waiting until the next day. The results at Betfair SP were very good too meaning it’s a viable service for those whose bookie accounts have been restricted.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was good for a horse racing service at 29% so there was a reasonably steady rate of returns and drawdowns were kept to a minimum.
Advised Betting Bank: We didn’t see a recommended betting bank for following the service but would have thought a 100 point bank would be sufficient here.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are reasonable given the excellent results achieved, at £7.99 for the first month then £24.98 per month or £179 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
The Form Guy is a horse racing tipster that we ran an extended 12 month review of. At the end of our trial we are pleased to report it made 132 points profit at advised prices, at an ROI of 15%.
The other good news is that it was also profitable at Betfair SP, with 82 points profit made at BSP. So it’s a viable option for those with restricted bookie accounts.
All in all a very impressive trial and well worthy of a PASSED rating from us.

It’s been a quiet month for horse racing tipster The Form Guy, with a profit of 3 points made at advised prices since our last update.

The Betfair SP results have fallen quite a bit behind the advised prices, with a loss of 22 points made since our last update and just 3 points profit made for our trial overall.
This difference seems to be a combination of getting value early prices with the bookies (which then reduce in price on Betfair by the time of the race) and the extra places with the bookies.
So at the moment it is looking like you need access to bookie accounts to get the best out of this service.

The Form Guy – New Review
25th February 2022
We are starting a new trial today of a service called The Form Guy.
This is a relatively new service but comes from a chap called Steve who has been both a bookmaker and a punter.
He has been around horse racing since a young age and been studying form ever since, putting in many hours per week.
As it says on the Form Guy website, systems help with the initial shortlisting but it’s form study that whittles down a long list of selections to the very best bets with the highest chance of winning.
Darren Power, who runs the On Course Profits Magazine said:
“We were very impressed with Steve’s performance throughout our tipping competition where he won two of the three monthly prizes and the overall grand prize”
Although this is a relatively new service, results do look promising with 41 points profit made since October last year.
The strike rate has been around the 30% mark and the ROI has been 31% at Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) and 28% at BSP.
All the selections come with detailed write-ups so you can see that Steve really knows his stuff.
We starting receiving tips on 5th February so will record results from then. Updates will be provided here as we go along as usual.
In the meantime you can check out The Form Guy here.
