Please note that this service has been discontinued due to health reasons of the tipster, Josh.
We hope he is okay and obviously the most important thing is someone’s health, betting is just secondary.
The service had been doing well with some big winners, in particular a 216/1 patent bet last month. So perhaps at some point in the future Josh might be able to relaunch the service.
In the current circumstances though we will wrap up our review and as we say send our best wishes to Josh for a full recovery.
It’s been an excellent time lately for horse racing service Double Betting Tips, with a profit of 160 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 171 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
The big news is that they landed a huge patent on Tuesday at odds of 216/1! In case you aren’t familiar with the term, a patent is a bet consisting of 3 singles, 3 doubles and a treble.
All three legs of the bet came in on Tuesday to land the spoils and we are sure was wildly celebrated by members.
The service has changed quite a bit since our last update. It was originally just one win-double bet per day. Then in early April it was changed to two each-way singles and an each-way double, to make things a bit smoother and because most members prefer to have regular wins. And then more recently there has been a switch to more exotic bets like patents, trixies and lucky 15s.
So the service could do with a name change perhaps, although in any event it is a little more complex to follow now.
It also means the Betfair SP results aren’t so relevant anymore as it isn’t practical to place the exotic bets on Betfair. So we won’t be able to record the BSP results any more, but for the record they were around 6 points better off at BSP before switching to exotic bets.
The results at Betfair SP have actually been better so far, with 24 points profit made for our trial to date.
The service is pretty simple to follow with a maximum of just one double bet per day which is win-only.
If you are using Betfair then you will need to place the double manually – i.e. place the first bet as a single and then if it wins place the second bet with the stake plus winnings of the first.
Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing service called Double Betting Tips.
This is a service that researches the best two horse racing bets of the day and combines them into a double. They claim this gives the maximum value at the bookies and higher long-term profit.
The tips are based on traditional form reading on horses, trainers and jockeys so that sounds pretty straightforward.
The idea behind the service is to provide larger returns by combining the tips into doubles rather than placing them as singles. Of course the flip side to that is the strike rate will be lower and losing runs longer, so you will need a larger bank than if just betting on singles.
The chap behind the system claims the returns are better by placing win doubles though so that is the preference of the service.
Results published on the website look strong, with 46 points profit made since starting up in October last year. That has been achieved with a very high return on investment of 63% and a reasonable strike rate of just under 20%.
So will be interesting to see how this one goes, it’s relatively new but looks like it has potential.
Anyway, as ever we will update results here as we go along.
Every once in a while here at Honest Betting Reviews we come across a real gem of a service – something that works a little differently from the many other services we see day-in, day-out and that’s found an angle to generate consistent, long-term profit.
Coming into our trial we felt that could be the case with Racing Intelligence – and for once we are pleased to say we weren’t disappointed!
Racing Intelligence is a little different to most other services in that it does not rely on form reading, ratings or any of the traditional ways that tipsters operate. In fact, it is not really a “tipster” at all. Instead its selections are provided by an inside man at one of the leading UK bookmakers who gets to see where all the “smart money” is being placed for that day’s racing.
He gets to see where the big gambles are going, the professional money is being placed and where there is likely to be significant value. That info is then passed straight on to members of the service.
Normally we would be skeptical of such claims of “inside info” but on this occasion we have no doubt whatsoever this is the real deal.
Not only have we seen the results prior to our trial proofed by a reputable source elsewhere, which showed 672 points profit coming into our review, but now we have six months of own proofed results and wow have we been impressed!
A superb 192 points profit was made at advised prices during our six-month trial, which represents a very nearly doubling of the advised betting bank of 200 points.
As you can see from the profit graph below, they were never really in deficit and built strongly over the middle part of the trial with another burst at the end:-
Those results were achieved with a very good strike rate of 40% (including placed horses) and a commendable ROI of 19%.
At Betfair SP the results were solid too, with a nice 76 points profit made during our trial.
The consistency is excellent too, with 10 out of 12 months this year having been profitable and 23 out of 30 months overall having made a profit.
So we have no hesitation in awarding this service a PASSED rating and giving it our first five star award for some time.
As we say, we like that they approach betting from a different angle of looking at where the smart money is being placed rather than typical form study and it’s clear this information has huge value.
It’s credit to Matthew Walton (who runs the service) for having found this source of information and we can only hope both the source and Matthew continue sharing the info for a long time to come!
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The tips are sent out during morning of racing and come in individually as the information is received, as it is obviously “hot off the press” so is passed on straight away for members to snap up the value. That means you’ll sometimes get three or four e-mails (or texts if you choose that option) during the morning at various times, with Matthew then summarising the day’s bets in one final e-mail, usually around lunchtime or shortly before racing starts.
With an average of 1-2 bets per day following the service isn’t too onerous by any means.
Availability of prices: Prices do tend to get pushed in so we recommend taking early prices if you can, but as stated above the service is still profitable at BSP so is practical to follow even if you don’t have bookie accounts.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 40% (including placed horses) which is more than acceptable and is very close to the long-term strike rate for the service of 39%.
Advised Betting Bank: A 200 point bank is recommended for following the service which seems a reasonable amount to us and was certainly never in jeopardy at any stage of our trial.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are high, but that is understandable given the quality of information being received and it also helps protect prices for members. The subscription costs are £58.20 for the first month then £97+VAT per month after that.
There is a full money-back guarantee for the first 30 days.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
With a profit of 192 points made at advised prices during our six month trial, to go with the profits stacked up previously (which have been proofed by a reputable source elsewhere), Racing Intelligence has made a total of over 850 points profit betting each-way or over 1,100 points profit if betting win-only since starting up two and a half years ago.
Those are outstanding results and we are more than happy to award this a PASSED rating and to place it right towards the very top of our list of recommended horse racing services.
The subscription costs are high so you will need a decent-sized bank to make it worthwhile, but if you have that then this really is a service to get on board with and start profiting from the invaluable info it provides.
At Betfair SP they have lost 8 points since our last update but are still 65 points up for our trial overall.
As Matthew points out on the emails, it is important to keep a long-term mindset and not let a small drawdown this month detract from the long-term picture which has been very good indeed.
It’s been a cracking time for Racing Intelligencesince our last update, with a whopping 109 points profit made at advised prices over the last five weeks.
That means they are now an excellent 167 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
Things have also been progressing well at BSP, with another 73 points profit made since our last update and 84 points profit made for our trial overall.
It’s great to see a service living up to its pre-trial billing and delivering some excellent results under live conditions. This is looking like a really top service in the making.
The good news is they are now up at Betfair SP for our review aswell, with 17 points made since our last update and 11 points profit made for our trial overall.
It’s been a bit up and down during the review in truth, with a high of 87 points up followed by dropping down to just 3 points up, and then bouncing back again to 58 points up. For those with an appropriate betting bank and a long-term mindset that wouldn’t have been a problem, but unfortunately for those who dropped out after the losing run they have now missed out on the subsequent profits.
Anyway, as we say overall the results have been good so let’s look for them to kick on from here.
At Betfair SP it continues to be a bit more of a struggle. Although a profit of 2 points was made since our last update, they are still 6 points down at BSP for our trial overall.
Their long term BSP results are very good so this may just be a small blip but we will keep an eye on it and hopefully they will have moved into profit at Betfair SP aswell by the time of our next update.
At Betfair SP things haven’t been quite as good, with a loss of 8 points made for our trial so far.
Just a note that the Racing Intelligence spy has been working away for the past 10 days, this has meant it’s been very quiet on the betting front lately but he is due to return shortly so we expect the pace to pick up next week.
Today we are looking at a new racing service called Racing Intelligence and we have to say we are more than intrigued by its proposition.
Whilst regular readers will know we are generally sceptical of tipsters claiming they have special access to “inside info,” this one comes with an interesting twist on that idea – and has the results to back it up.
Normally we dismiss talk of “inside info” because frankly despite having seen dozens of tipsters claim they have access to it, we are yet to see a single one of those tipsters actually deliver a long-term profit. In short most of it is just marketing BS.
Those tipsters who do make a consistent profit – like Quentin Franks, the Bet Alchemist and so on – do so due to hours of hard work and diligence in how they study races and form.
In the case of this tipster however, the “inside info” they claim to use is a little different – it is actually the bookies’ inside info.
So rather than looking to gather information from stables, trainers and so on, they are apparently able to gather intell directly from inside a bookie, as they work for one.
Inside this bookie they see the winning accounts of their elite customers and which bets those customers are placing – referred to as “markers” in the industry – and then pass on those bets to subscribers to place themselves.
The results of the service – which have been proofed elsewhere – are absolutely top-notch and suggest this approach is highly effective.
Since starting up two years ago they have made a superb 672 points profit at general bookies’ prices if betting each-way and an incredible 933 points profit if betting win-only.
Those have been achieved with returns on investment of 24% and 34% respectively, which is top-class stuff.
In addition they have demonstrated a remarkable level of consistency, with 19 of their 24 months so far having been profitable.
The really good news though is that the service is even profitable at Betfair SP, with a profit of 364 points made betting win and place on the exchange and 571 points if betting win-only at BSP.
Those are the some of the best BSP results we have seen and if they can be repeated during a live trial will mean this service may well achieve the “holy-grail” of being able to generate a substantial profit at Betfair.
That remains to be seen of course so we will reserve our judgement until we have seen the service in action and what kind of results it achieves.
So we will run a standard three-month trial and will report back soon on how things are going.
Blueblood Racing is a horse racing tipster based at the Tipsters Empire stable of tipsters.
The tipster comes from a maths/stats background originally, with a mother who was a PhD in pure mathematics. The tipster says stats are not the only factor driving his selection process however, with how you interpret them being more important in the long run.
He tends to think “either quite leftfield or provide data and thoughts that has never been considered in any public domain environment, hence, it’s possibly his edge over time.”
It’s an intriguing approach and one we were eager to test under live trial conditions. The results coming into our trial looked very strong as well and the tipster was getting quite a lot of attention.
So how did it go?
Well at the end of our three month trial the tipster finished slightly down, with a loss of 21 points at advised prices.
That was achieved with a strike rate of 35% (including placed horses) and a return on investment of -16%.
At Betfair SP it was a little worse, with 35 points lost.
It’s worth noting however that they did have a very high number of second-place finishes over our trial, so the results could easily have been quite a lot better.
As it was although a loss made, it wasn’t too severe with just over a fifth of the recommended betting bank lost over our trial.
On that basis we will award the service a NEUTRAL rating as although it finished in deficit the losses were fairly limited and with just a little bit of luck it easily could have been better.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent by e-mail, with some bets the evening before and some the morning of racing. The bets are normally followed by a separate e-mail later with detailed reasoning.
Availability of prices: Prices are generally available and we didn’t see any problems obtaining the recommended odds.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 35% (including placed horses), which is pretty decent in itself but would need to be a little higher to achieve a profit.
Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point betting bank is recommended for the service which seems reasonable to us.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £34.99 per month, £87.50 per quarter, £157.50 for six months or £279.99 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
After a three month trial, Blueblood Racing finished with a loss of 21 points at advised prices. Whilst that was a little disappointing, it only represented a fifth of the betting bank and there were a high number of second-place finishes during our trial.
So we are awarding the service a NEUTRAL rating as although it finished with a small loss, it was no disaster by any means. One to keep an eye on for the time being.
A slight improvement for horse racing tipster Blueblood Racing in recent times, with a profit of 6 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 17 points down for our trial overall.
At Betfair SP it’s a little bit worse, with 29 points lost for our trial to date.
It’s worth noting however that there have been fourteen second place finishes for our trial so far, so the results could easily have been quite a bit better.
All tipsters will have their share of seconds of course, but that is considerably more than you’d expect due to normal variance.
Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing tipster called Blueblood Racing.
They are based at the Tipsters Empire stable of tipsters and have been the star of the show at that platform in recent times.
The Bluebood Racing tipster comes from a maths/stats background originally, with a mother who was a PhD in pure mathematics. The tipster says stats are not the only factor driving his selection process however, with how you interpret them being more important in the long run.
He tends to think “either quite leftfield or provide data and thoughts that has never been considered in any public domain environment, hence, it’s possibly his edge over time.”
The results published on the Tipsters Empire website suggest that approach has been working very well, with 280 points profit made since starting up a year ago.
That has come at a very impressive return on investment of 34% and with a strong strike rate of 40%.
All but one month has been profitable so far, with the average monthly profit sitting at £263 per month to £10 stakes.
It’s also encouraging to see that the results at Betfair SP have held up well too, with 220 points profit made at a return on investment of 28%.
If those results could be maintained it would make it an extremely valuable service. We understand it is already very popular with Tipsters Empire members.
Anyway, as ever we will wait to see how the trial unfolds before reaching any conclusions. We started receiving tips on 26th December so will record results from then. Results will be updated here as we go along as usual.

This is just a quick update to say we are wrapping up this review as BP Racing has been discontinued.
The service had struggled throughout our review, going around 100 points down at one stage so it’s no surprise really to see this one has given up the ghost. We had been planning to wrap up the review soon in any event given how things had gone.
It did have very promising results coming into our trial and it would have been great to have a service that was profitable at Betfair SP, but sadly it wasn’t to be.
Just to note that Punt Hub who ran the service posted a message saying:
“Those that are still paying members here or have subscription left will be moved over to the bet Professor today.
If you have already paid and do not wish to move over please let me know asap so I can arrange a refund for you.”
Anyway, not much more for us to add other than to say it’s another one for the defunct/failed pile unfortunately and it’s on we go with the next review…
We said last time that things needed to turn around for BP Racing and we are pleased to say they certainly have done so over the last month, with a profit of 45 points made since our last update.
However, with the large previous losses, unfortunately they are still 53 points down for our trial overall.
Just a reminder this is a service that bets at Betfair SP only, so there are only BSP results to record for this review.
If they could get back to the kind of form shown coming into our trial then you would potentially have the holy grail of tipping – a service that is profitable at Betfair SP. However, so far that is eluding them.
This is a service that advises bets on the morning of racing to be placed at Betfair SP. There is quite a high volume of tips with around 10 bets per day on average.
Still, being able to place them all at Betfair means it is actually pretty quick to place the bets each day.
Let’s hope they can get things moving in the right direction by the time of our next update.
Today we are starting a new trial of a service called BP Racing.
Despite the logo on their website, the “BP” doesn’t in fact stand for British Petroleum, but rather for “Betfair Price.”
From the Punt Hub stable of tipsters, this is a service that tips at Betair SP and for that reason is one we imagine will be popular with those of you who have had your bookie accounts restricted.
Yes, there is no need to worry about being gubbed, or having to react like lightning when tips are released to grab the advised prices before they get smashed in.
With this service you can just put the bets on at Betfair SP and go about the rest of your day.
It is a relatively new service having only been running since 24th April, but the results so far look very impressive.
Over 200 points profit has reportedly been made at one-point level stakes at a return on investment of 18%.
Those are exceptional results to have achieved at Betfair SP where it is notoriously hard to eek out any kind of profit at all.
There is quite a large volume of bets, with a few given out each day normally before 10am daily via Telegram.
Just to say there is currently a special discounted rate of just £10 for the first month (normally £25 per month) so a pretty decent offer there.
We would like to see this one do well as we know a lot of you are keen for a service that is profitable at Betfair SP. As ever though we will reserve judgement until we have conducted our trial.
Results will be updated here as we go along.
In the meantime you can check out BP Racing for yourself here.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/BP-Racing-pic-2.png351700Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2022-02-23 09:54:562023-05-22 17:24:17BP Racing – Final Update
Unfortunately we regret to report that this review is coming to an early end as the service is being discontinued.
Here is an excerpt from the e-mail we received from Beth Bet:
“Dear members of Beth Family,
We’ve come a great journey together but it is now the time our paths split. Unfortunately, Beth ceases her work due to circumstances beyond our control and some external factors.
Every day of Beth’s life we strived to give our players everything we have to become successful punters and always have been by your side. As much as we desire and aspire to continue developing Beth, there are unforeseen reasons that we cannot withstand.
The whole Beth Team wants to say thank you for sharing our passion for horse racing, for being with us every day, for making Beth better every day.
Starting from the 1st of February website beth.bet and app.beth.bet will not be available.”
So it’s a bit vague really on what exactly has happened, other than that it is due to circumstances beyond their control.
They say they will be issuing refunds though for subscribers with current plans that should have been active this year starting from February month so we hope they honour that.
It’s a shame as the system had actually been doing quite well, but in any event it goes in the FAILED/DEFUNCT pile unfortunately.
Just a reminder that this is an AI powered piece of software that analyzes a range of factors on horse races and identifies value selections to be placed with the bookies.
You have to place the bets yourself, although the software does include a link through to the race in question to make it easier.
It is advisable to have alerts turned on so you get a ping every time a new bet is issued.
Just a reminder that this isan AI powered piece of software that analyzes a range of factors on horse races and identifies value selections to be placed with the bookies.
You have to place the bets yourself, although the software does include a link through to the race in question to make it easier.
Essentially you turn the software on before racing (morning is best) and let it churn out the selections. You need to place the bets as quickly as possible after they are issued, before the odds decrease.
They recommend trying to place at least 20 bets per day which is what we have been aiming for, although some days it has not always been possible to use the software due to outside circumstances.
In any event, it has been working well so far as we are in profit, so is looking promising.
Today we are starting a trial of a new piece of horse racing software called Beth Bet.
This is an AI powered tool that analyzes a range of factors including horse pedigree, history, track conditions, current form of horses and jockeys and even weather reports.
It crunches all this data and identifies situations where the odds of a horse are higher than they should be – and therefore represents value.
It currently works with 11 bookies, namely:-
– BetVictor – Bet365 – Coral – Ladbrokes – William Hill – 888 Sport – Paddy Power – 10bet – PokerStars Sports – BetWay – NetBet
You can use it with as many or as few of these bookies as you like.
There is no arbitrage between the bookies and/or exchanges and no trading. It is just a question of placing the bets and letting them run. The idea is that over time the positive EV (expected value) in the bets will make a profit.
The results shown on the Beth Bet website look very impressive to say the least:-
Normally we are sceptical of things like this but we have seen some positive reports about Beth Bet from a couple of sources we trust so thought it would be worth checking out.
One aspect we are particularly interested in is whether it is profitable to use on Betfair. Now technically it is set up to be used with the bookies but we know lots of you have been limited with the bookmakers so if this was to prove effective on Betfair it would be a real bonus.
The other fear we have with tools like this that look to capitalise on value at the bookies is that they can end up getting your bookmaker accounts restricted, so that is another aspect we will have to consider.
All in all though this look interesting and certainly worth testing out.
We will update results here as we along so you can see how Beth Bet is performing for us.

The Outside Edge is a horse racing tipster from the Betting Gods stable of tipsters. They provide tips in UK and Irish flat & jumps racing, with the occasional tip for US racing.
We followed the tips for an extended 14 months, which gave us a very substantial sample size of 1624 bets.
Any tipster that can produce a sustained profit over an extended trial like this is worthy of respect and that is exactly what The Outside Edge managed to do.
A total profit of 269 points was made at advised prices during our trial, which is an excellent amount to have amassed.
That was achieved with a solid strike of 29% (including placed horses) and a respectable ROI of 10%.
In terms of the profit graph over the trial, it was very strong over the early part of the trial with steady upward growth, then moved sideways for a while before quite a substantial dip, but then recovered strongly over the latter part of our trial:
That shows the importance of having a big enough betting bank and the patience to withstand extended drawdowns. Those who stuck with it would have been rewarded with the recent upturn in form over the past couple of months.
Turning to the Betfair SP results, these were quite a bit below the results at advised prices, with a profit of 106 points was made. Whilst still a very good amount to have made at BSP, it is less than half the profit made at advised prices.
So to get the most out of the service you will want to have access to bookie accounts, although it is still viable to follow if you are restricted to using the exchanges.
Overall then with an excellent 269 points profit made for our trial at advised prices, we are happy to award The Outside Edge a PASSED rating.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The tips are sent by e-mail, with an update the evening before racing and then another on the morning of racing. With around 4 bets per day on average it’s a little bit of work to follow but not too bad by any means.
Availability of prices: Prices can be quite sensitive, particularly those sent out the evening before racing. There was quite a big difference between the results at advised prices and BSP, which shows the value being achieved early but also the importance of getting bets on quickly.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 29% (including placed horses), which is pretty good for a horse racing service.
Advised Betting Bank: A 300 point betting bank was advised for following the service, which given the drawdown of around 200 points seems fair, although to be on the safe side a 400 point bank could be advised for this service.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £1.99 for the first 15 days then £27 per month, which is very reasonable given the results achieved.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
The Outside Edge is a horse racing tipster that produced an excellent 269 points profit during an extended 14 month trial.
It achieved that with a strike rate of 29% and an ROI of 10%, which are more than respectable statistics. There was quite a substantial drawdown during our trial though, so a large betting bank is required if following the service (at least 300 points).
All in all though it’s been a very successful trial and the service is well worthy of a PASSED rating.
Horse racing tipsterThe Outside Edge has bounced back nicely over the last month, with a profit of 48 points made at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now an excellent 158 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
It’s also been a decent month at Betfair SP, with a profit of 20 points made since our last update. That means they are now 35 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
The highlight over the last month was a cracking 50/1 winner in the shape of Bedouin’s Story at Newmarket, which members obviously very much enjoyed. It was also a decent BSP at 45, so even those without bookie accounts would have landed a nice touch.
Unfortunately it’s been a difficult time for horse racing tipsterThe Outside Edgelately, with a loss of 72 points made at advised prices since our last update.
With the previous profits however they are still 110 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
It’s also been a rough time lately at Betfair SP, with a loss of 78 points made since our last update. However, they are still 15 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
This review started off really well so it’s a shame it’s turned south over the last couple of months, but they are still well up for our trial overall so let’s hope they get back on track soon.
It’s also been a tough month at Betfair SP, with a loss of 56 points made since our last update. However, they are still 93 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
Let’s hope the last month was just a blip and they can get back to their previous winning ways shortly.
It was a bit of a tougher month at Betfair SP though, with a loss of 31 points made since our last update. However, they are still 149 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
We now have a sample size of over 1,000 bets for our trial which is obviously a very good number.
To have produced such good profits over a large sample size like this is a strong indication of a service with a clear edge over the market.
For the first time since we started our review, horse racing tipster The Outside Edge has experienced something of a correction, with a loss of 33 points made at advised prices since our last update.
With the very strong gains made previously however, they are still an impressive 225 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
The results at Betfair SP have also taken a step back, with a loss of 49 points made since our last update. However, they are still 180 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
Hopefully this is just a temporary blip and they will be back to winning ways again shortly.
Horse racing tipster The Outside Edge continues to relentlessly hammer the bookies, adding another 42 points profit at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now a massive 258 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
The results at Betfair SP continue to perform very well too, with 41 points profit made since our last update and 229 points profit made for our trial overall.
If you are not already a member it may well be worth checking this service out as it really looks top drawer to us.
It’s getting silly now. Horse racing tipster The Outside Edge just keeps relentlessly racking up the profits, adding another 65 points profit since our last update.
That means they are now an amazing 216 points up for our trial overall.
The results at Betfair SP continue to perform very well too, with an excellent 80 points profit made since our last update and 188 points profit made for our trial overall.
If you’ve been following the blog you will have seen the Outside Edge picking up our Tipster of the Month award for two months in a row – and well deserved. The winners have been flying in left, right and centre and we know lots of you have been enjoying them, which is always good to hear.
Horse racing tipster The Outside Edge continues to give the bookies a good bashing, adding another 40 points profit at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now a superb 151 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
The results at Betfair SP are holding up pretty well, with 23 points profit made since our last update and 93 points profit made for our trial overall at BSP.
These results are particularly impressive when you consider how many tipsters have struggled in recent times with variable ground, cancelled meetings and a revised schedule playing havoc with the form.
At Betfair SP it’s also been a strong start, with a profit of 70 points made so far. That is down in part to an excellent winner they had on Saturday at Ascot with Not So Sleepy winning at a BSP of 30.36, which really gave them a boost heading into the Xmas period.
Just a reminder that as noted below in our opening of the review, we started receiving tips on 20th October so have recorded results from then.
Today we are stating a new review of a horse racing tipster called The Outside Edge.
This is a tipster from the reputable Betting Gods tipster platform who started proofing their tips back in December 2019, so nearly a year ago now.
In that time they have produced £2,764 profit at £10 per point stakes at a return on investment of over 15%.
That works out at an average monthly profit of £276 at the same £10 per point stakes which is very handy indeed.
The strike rate (otherwise known as win rate) is over 30% which is healthy level and should mean there are steady returns (hopefully).
Tips are provided by a chap called Darren and he explains his approach as follows:-
“I like to take a two-pronged approach which is why I send two sets of tips each day. I send my first few tips the evening before – this is where I capture value in the markets. I then send a second round of tips in the morning of racing where I look at market trends to grab some final value for you.”
So two shots at grabbing some value and smashing the bookies, which is encouraging.
We started receiving tips on 20th October so will record results from then. They have started off very strongly so hopefully that will continue for the remainder of our review. Results will be updated here regularly as we go along.
Please note that due to time commitments this service has been discontinued for the time being. However, the main Quentin Franks Racing service is still running and you can check that out here.
Here at HBR our aim is not just to do reviews and then forget about them but continue to monitor services to ensure they continue to perform to a high level over the long term.
So with three years passed since our original review of QF Value Tips (see below), we thought it was more than high time for an update.
QF Value Tips is a sister service to the highly successful and much-acclaimed Quentin Franks Racing, with the tips provided by the very same man. The only difference being that the selections for QF Value Tips are provided the night before racing where as for Quentin Franks Racing they are provided on the morning of racing (besides the occasional ante-post tip).
Given the exceptional quality of the main Quentin Franks service, with over £14,000 profit made to date to just £10 stakes, it was no surprise that QF Value Tips also received a passed rating back in our original review of 2016.
So how has the service performed since then?
We are pleased to say it has performed very well, with a total profit now of over 500 points made – or £5,000 to just £10 stakes.
That’s an additional 230 points profit since our review ended, which is excellent going. Most tipsters we review aren’t even still going three years later, let alone still churning out the profit, so Quentin deserves a lot of praise for that.
The return on investment (ROI) has remained around 20% for the duration of the service which is also a strong effort over such a sustained period.
The strike rate isn’t bad either at over 25% and it’s a very easy service to follow with an average of just one bet per day.
So all in all QF Value Tips is well worthy of its continued PASSED rating and we actually think it deserves a bit of an upgrade from four stars to four and a half stars.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Very few tipsters stand the test of time and are still going a year after our review of them ends, let alone still churning out the profits three years later. QF Value Tips has managed to do that though, adding another 230 points profit since our original review ended to stand at over 500 points profit made overall.
With his outstanding main service, there is no doubt Quentin Franks is one of the very best tipsters out there and his two services compliment each other very nicely. So if you aren’t a member of both already it is probably time to sign up!
QF Value Tips is a spin-off of the very successful horse racing tipster Quentin Franks Racing, which we have reviewed previously and got a rating of 5 stars, an exceptional achievement.
Whilst the main Quentin Franks Racing tips in the morning of racing, QF Value Tips provides selections the evening before racing, looking for value in the early bookies’ prices.
And from the results over our trial, he is rather good at it too!
Making 53 points over the trial was a very decent effort and compliments the main Quentin Franks tips nicely.
Here you can see the profit graph for the trial:
Things got off to a slow start but really picked up and grew nicely during the trial.
You do need to back the tips as soon as possible after they are sent out though, at certainly in the evening before racing, as the results at Betfair SP were considerably lower, with just 10 points profit being made during our trial.
However, as long as you can do that, then this is well worth adding to your betting portfolio.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: QF Value Tips is a fairly easy service to use with just a couple of bets per day, sent out in the evening.
Availability of prices: Prices reduce fairly significantly by the off, which is no doubt due to the fact that they are value prices. So you want to get your bets on as soon as possible after tips are sent out. From our trial it seemed as if there was limited value at Betfair SP.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 23%, which is reasonable but means a degree of patience will be required when following this service.
Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial, which should be enough to cover losing runs.
Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £1.99 for the first 15 days then £17 per month.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
QF Value Tips is a spin-off from the very successful horse racing tipster Quentin Franks Racing.
Not surprisingly from someone who has achieved such excellent with his main service, Quentin has also delivered excellent returns with QF Value Tips as well.
A profit of 53 points was made over the trial at advised prices, which is decent stuff and is deserving of a recommended rating in our view.
The only thing to note is that if you don’t have any bookie accounts left, this may not be the service for you as results at Betfair SP were quite a bit lower, with only 10 points profit being made.
But other than that, an excellent trial again and QF Value Tips is well worth adding to your betting portfolio!
Things have been a little trickier at Betfair SP, with the results being 20 points down at BSP.
That is perhaps not surprising, given that the service is based on taking prices the evening before racing. By the time you get to the off, the value has probably gone.
So let’s hope things get going for QF Value Tips over the last month of the trial.
As an aside, the main Quentin Franks Racing tips have been going great guns, notching an amazing 82 points of profit this month so far, meaning he has now made over 600 points profit since the service started just two years ago.
QF Value Tipsis the second service from Quentin Franks, one of the very best horse racing tipsters we have come across here at Honest Betting Reviews.
The QF Tips differ from the original Quentin Franks Racing tips by being sent the evening before racing rather than the day of racing.
We are just under a month into our trial and things have been quiet so far, with the tips being just 1 point down to date at advised prices and 14 points down at Betfair SP.
One of the very best horse racing tipsters we have reviewed so far here at Honest Betting Reviews is Quentin Franks Racing.
In under two years of tipping, Quentin has made over 500 points profit at a return on investment of over 18%.
He has shown remarkable consistency, with 10 of the last 11 months having been profitable.
So when Quentin decided to launch an additional tipping service, we were understandably very interested to see what was on offer.
The additional service is called QF Value Tips and differs from Quentin’s main offering in providing tips the evening before racing rather than the day of racing.
Thus QF Value Tips aim to maximise the value in the early bookmakers’ prices to try and make a profit.
And the news so far is good, with QF Value Tips having made 180 points profit at a return on investment of just under 25% in eight months of tipping.
So it looks like it may well be a very useful additional service to add to the portfolio and top up the monthly profits.
We are interested to see how the prices hold up and will run a normal three month review of QF Value Tips to see how it gets on.
Strike Rate Racing is a horse racing tipster that claims to have made its members over £50,000 per year from its racing tips.
They provide four tips per day, Monday to Friday, at around the 11/8 – 4/1 mark. Tips are sent by e-mail early in the morning on the day of racing. All bets are one point win bets.
The idea is that by tipping at relatively short odds they aim to be able to maintain a decent strike rate and keep the bank ticking along.
Anyway, we followed the service for three months and in that time proofed just over 250 bets, which is a reasonable sample size.
At the end of our trial they finished with a small loss of 17 points at advised prices, which represented less than a fifth of the betting bank.
The strike rate was pretty decent at 30%, so just under a third of the tips were winners.
The interesting thing with this trial was that the Betfair SP results actually turned out better than the results at advised prices, with a profit of 15 points made for our trial.
That’s quite unusual and will be a comfort to those who have had their bookie accounts restricted and were just following the service on Betfair.
At the end of the day, as the service made a small loss at advised prices but a small profit at BSP, we think a NEUTRAL rating is fair on balance.
The one thing we did note however is that in addition to receiving the tips, we did receive quite a bit of spam e-mails advertising other tipping services, most of which looked dubious at best. Ideally that’s something we prefer not to see – just the tips would be nice. The occasional e-mail about another service is okay but to have it regularly is a bit much.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The tips are sent by e-mail, normally very early in the morning on the day of racing. With around 4 bets per day on average it’s not too onerous to follow and there are no bets at weekends.
Availability of prices: We didn’t really see any pressure on prices and in fact the BSP results were actually better than the advised prices.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 30%, which is round about what we expect given the odds tipped at.
Advised Betting Bank: There was no betting bank advised but we used a 100 point betting bank for our trial was adequate for our purposes.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £30 per month or £100 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
Strike Rate Racing is a simple horse race tipping service that sends out four tips per day, Monday to Friday.
After a three month trial and over 250 bets, they finished with a loss of 17 points at advised prices but a profit of 15 points at Betfair SP.
On balance then we feel a NEUTRAL rating is warranted in this instance.
Intriguingly they continue to do better at Betfair SP so far than at advised prices, with another 13 points profit made since our last update and 26 points profit made for our trial overall at BSP.
In case you were wondering after looking at the results sheet, they don’t tip at weekends so that explains the gap in dates.
It’s pretty low workload during the week in any event, with just four tips normally – all backed win only.
They have actually done better at Betfair SP so far than at advised prices, as they sit 13 points up for our trial to date at BSP.
Just a reminder that this is a straightforward tipping service with four tips sent on weekdays early in the morning. The odds tend to be fairly short, hence the name in terms of looking for a high strike rate of winners.
This is a service that a few of our members asked us to take a look at so we thought we would give it a go. It claims to have made its members over £50,000 per year from its racing tips. There is no breakdown of what staking this was based on though, or ROI etc.
There is a screenshot on their website of a William Hill account with over £52,800 in it, although we would point out that this doesn’t mean much in itself. Things like that can easily be fabricated, or they could have just deposited those funds rather than having won them. We would also have thought profits would be spread around different bookies rather than concentrated in just one.
Anyway, leaving this aside, they claim to be “a team of highly experienced professional horse racing tipsters who make ourselves a financial income and luxurious lifestyle through horse race betting.”
They say they come from a variety of backgrounds including accounting, bookmaking, computer science and racehorse training.
In terms of their approach to selecting the tips, they say they study “odds, form, jockey and trainer combinations, weather patterns” and anything else that can give them an edge. There isn’t much reference to where the idea of a high strike comes in to it though.
There are also no published results on the website, which is a little worrying. Usually we would look for full results to back up the claims of profits a service makes.
In any event, we will reserve judgement until we have conducted our review and can see what kind of results they can produce under a live trial. As usual we will update things here as we go along.

This is just a quick note to say that unfortunately the Wiltshire Racing service has been discontinued. We received this notification from the Tipsters Empire platform informing members of the decision:-
“Mark emailed us to say he will be stepping away from his role with Tipsters Empire as although he has worked very hard, his results have not been quite where he wanted. We respect his decision and wish him all the best in the future.”
And here is Mark himself, who provided the tips for Wiltshire Racing:-
“A big thankyou to those who have supported us since we went live in April and to the excellent Tipsters Empire for giving us the opportunity. Unfortunately, our overall results through the Summer have not been good enough and have not matched those we achieved during our proofing period last Winter.”
So there you have it, a case of the tipster themselves not wanting to continue rather than anything else. Actually the results weren’t too bad, they were only a few points down – we have certainly seen a lot worse in our time here at Honest Betting Reviews!
Alas tipping can be quite a stressful job when things aren’t going your way though so we can understand Mark wanting to step away from it.
In any event, that obviously means this service goes on to the Defunct pile unfortunately. On to the next one for us…
Still not much movement for horse racing tipster Wiltshire Racing over the last month, with a loss of 6 points made at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now six points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
It was a slightly better month at Betfair SP, with a profit of 1 point made since our last update. That still leaves them 20 points down for our trial overall at BSP however.
Let’s see if they can get things moving in the right direction by the time of our next update.
It continues to be a quiet time for horse racing tipster Wiltshire Racing, with a profit of 3 points made at advised prices since our last update a month ago.
That means they are now level for our trial overall at advised prices.
It’s been a quiet start to our trial of horse racing tipster Wiltshire Racing, with a small loss of 3 points made so far at advised prices after one month.
It’s been a little bit worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 9 points made for our trial so far at BSP.
It’s quite a simple service to follow with just 1-2 bets per day and tips normally sent out early in the morning (just after 8am UK time) on the day of racing.
Anyway, let’s see if they can get things going by the time of our next update.
Today we are starting a new review of a horse racing tipster called Wiltshire Racing.
Based at the Tipsters Empire stable, the tipster grew up near Haydock Park as a youngster in the late seventies.
He then moved to the South West where he worked as a freelance writer for some big companies within the Horse Racing industry, providing race previews and tipping services.
In punting terms he specialises in handicap chases and all-aged middle distance flat turf handicaps.
He concentrates on how a race is likely to be run and the effect of the prevailing conditions, course type and trainer’s mode of operation rather than just traditional form analysis which is what most of the media focuses on. His average tip is priced at around 6/1, as he likes to take on vulnerable favourites at the top of the market.
The results for Wiltshire Racing on the Tipsters Empire website look promising, with a profit of 124 points made since starting up in October last year.
That has been achieved with an excellent return on investment (ROI) of 28% and with a solid strike rate of 18%.
They look to have a good level of consistency so let’s see if they can keep that going during our trial.
We started receiving tips on 19th June so will record results from then. As usual we will provide updates here as we go along.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/Wiltshire-racing-pic.png4441200Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2021-10-15 11:13:152021-10-15 18:14:21Wiltshire Racing – Final Review
Flat Flyersis a horse racing service from the Back Lucrative team, whose main service we reviewed last year and awarded a passed rating to after it made over 100 points profit.
Their other spin-off service Hidden Winners we reviewed a few months ago and also awarded a passed rating to after it made over 60 points profit.
So we came into this review with high hopes that Flat Flyers could produce similar results. Certainly the long-term performance over the last few years looked strong.
Essentially the service is about finding value selections at early-morning prices in flat races. There is a three-pronged process to finding the bets, which is set out in a handy PDF you can view upon joining the service.
The tips are posted in the members’ area, normally by around 10am (UK time) so it’s important to remember to log on each day as there is no e-mail service.
There are an average of three bets per day, so it’s not too bad in terms of workload. The advice is to back the selections win-only for two points if the odds are less than 5/1 (6.0), or one point each-way if the odds are above that. For the purposes of this review we used that staking guidance.
We ran a six month review to get a good look at the service, which also covered nearly the whole flat season. We proofed over 600 bets which is a good sample size.
The trial started off well and at one point we were 74 points up, so it looked like we were heading for a really good return.
However, that turned out to be pretty much the high point and things tailed off from there as we ended up 3 points down at advised prices by the end of the trial.
It was a shame really because as we say, we had high hopes for this service and it started off so well.
In terms of the Betfair SP results, they were considerably worse than those at advised prices, with a loss of 95 points made at BSP. So it looks very much like you need bookie accounts to follow this service.
All in all though a loss of 3 points is no disaster and is very close to breaking even, so we award Flat Flyers a NEUTRAL rating in the end.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The bets are posted in the members area by 10am UK time. With around 3 bets per day on average it’s not too onerous to follow, although some days there are more bets if it’s a busy day’s racing.
Availability of prices: The prices do tend to see some downwards movement, which at least suggests they are finding value. As mentioned above the results were much worse at BSP so it looks like a service you’ll need bookie accounts for.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 27% (including placed horses), which is solid enough but a bit below where it needed to be to produce a profit.
Advised Betting Bank: A 200 point betting bank is recommended for following the service, which sounds reasonable to us.
Subscription costs: The service is closed to new members at the current time.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
Flat Flyers is a horse racing service from the Back Lucrative team. Their previous services have performed very well here at Honest Betting Reviews, so we had high hopes for this one – particularly after it got off to a strong start.
Sadly though things tailed off towards the latter part of the review and they ended up 3 points down in the end.
So it’s a NEUTRAL rating from us after what was in effect pretty much a break-even trial.
They haven’t fared quite so well at Betfair SP however, with no change made since our last update but 44 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.
They did have one lovely winner this month though in the shape of Indigo Times at Newmarket, advised at 28/1 but went off a massive BSP of 43.25, which really boosted results.
A few more of those winners and they will be well on their way.
It’s not quite as positive a story at Betfair SP however, with a loss of 29 points made since our last update. That puts them 44 points down for our trial overall at BSP.
So it’s looking questionable whether this service is practical to follow at Betfair SP, but at advised prices it’s looking decent.
It’s also been a pretty brutal month at Betfair SP, with a loss of 60 points made since our last update. That puts them 15 points down for our trial overall at BSP.
This trial has been very up and down so far, but we are nearly back where we started and with over half the flat season still to go there is plenty of time to get things moving forward again.
It’s also been a strong month at Betfair SP, with a profit of 61 points made since our last update. That puts them 45 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
You may have seen that with those excellent results, Flat Flyers won Tipster of the Month last month, a very commendable effort.
It’s been something of a slow start (ironically) to our trial of horse racing service Flat Flyers, which haven’t quite been flying yet, with a loss of 21 points made to advised prices so far.
At Betfair SP the results have been slightly better, with a loss of 16 points made so far.
Just a note that the advice is to back the selections win-only for two points if the odds are less than 5/1 (6.0), or one point each-way if the odds are above that.
And it is advised to try and take the prices as close to the 10am post time as possible in order to secure the value on the tips.
So a bit of a slow start on this one as we say but it’s still early days and plenty of time to recover.
Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing service called Flat Flyers.
It comes from the Back Lucrative team, whose main service we reviewed last year and awarded a passed rating to after it made over 100 points profit. Their other spin-off service Hidden Winners we have just finished reviewing and also awarded a passed rating to after it made over 60 points profit.
So this is stable with strong pedigree, to use a racing metaphor, and is one we have a great deal of respect for given their long track-record of success.
When Michael of Back Lucrative contacted us about a new service of theirs, we were obviously very keen therefore to hear more about it.
It’s actually not so much a new service, as one that was just reopened to new members and has in fact been running since December 2017.
The results since the service started have been very impressive, with the following profits made:
NH 2017: +33 points
FLAT 2018: +125.6 points
NH 2018: +23.05 points
FLAT 2019: +115.8 points
NH 2019: +65.69 points
FLAT 2020: 239.9 points
TOTAL: +603 points profit
So that’s very impressive stuff from just over three years of selections.
Just to note that when it says “NH” above, it stands for National Hunt flat races, which run through the winter when there is no flat turf racing.
Membership for this service is closed at the moment but they usually open it up at certain points during the year, so we will keep you posted when those occur.
As usual we will update results here so you can see how they get on.
