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.
