Betting Mastermind Re-Review

A few years ago we reviewed Betting Mastermind, a matched betting package from the doyen of betting systems, Mike Cruickshank. 

In essence Betting Mastermind contains the best of Mike’s matched betting products in one and signing up to all of them in one go represents a massive saving compared to the cost of signing up to the products individually.

You can read our original review below, but to summarise it passed our trial with flying colours, receiving a five star rating.  

Well that was a few years ago, but Mike has just finished upgrading the systems, removing some of the old ones that are no longer relevant and replacing them with some new ones. 

The new systems include Price Boost Radar, Lucky 15 Maximiser, Advanced EWS Algorithm, Advanced 20 Minute System Algorithm & The Insiders System.

Given Mike’s stellar record in developing betting systems over the years, we had no hesitation in deciding to give the revamped Betting Mastermind a look, so we will commence our re-review today. 

Once we have taken a look at the new systems we will report back here with our thoughts on them.

In the meantime you can check out Betting Mastermind for yourself here.

Betting Mastermind – Final Review

12th May 2020

Betting Mastermind is a matched betting package from the original matched betting guru, Mike Cruickshank.

It claims that people using the package are making up to £3,500 per month in profit, which is quite a bold claim. 

Here we take a look at what it is, how it works and whether it is possible to make that kind of money from it. 

 

What Is It?

Betting Mastermind is the complete package of matched betting products and other betting systems that have been designed by Mike Cruickshank over the years. 

It contains all eleven of Mike’s products in one and signing up to all of them in one go represents a massive saving compared to the cost of signing up to the products individually.

This package is for everyone from a complete novice up to experienced matched bettors and whatever your level, this will offer you the opportunity to make consistent income from the techniques it will teach you.

There are some people out there making £2,000 to £3,000 per month from these matched betting products, which is quite a significant income.

Here we take a look at each of the eleven products that make up Betting Mastermind in turn and what they bring to the matched betting table:-

 

          1. Bonus Bagging

Bonus Bagging Banner

The original matched betting product and the first one we reviewed here at Honest Betting Reviews, Bonus Bagging is for newbies to the art of matched betting.

It will introduce you in a step-by-step fashion to matched betting and show you how to utilise the bookies’ welcome offers to make risk-free cash. 

Even if you are complete a newbie, this will give you the guidance and support you need to start making a profit from bookmaker offers.  

You can expect to make up to £500 from the offers if you do not already have accounts with the bookies. 

 

      2. Profit Maximiser

Profit Maximiser

The ultimate matched betting tool and still in our opinion, the best. Profit Maximiser brings together all of the bookies offers for existing customers as well as bingo and casino offers and much more. You can read our original review of it here. 

Recently redesigned to improve the look and feel and enhance the user experience, Profit Maximiser has a massive following and a Facebook group of over 50,000 members.

In that group you can exchange ideas and get some help if you are struggling with any of the offers, plus people post the latest and best offers and how to do them.

Some of these offers can be very lucrative – indeed there was one incident not too long ago when Sky Bet had a casino offer with a loophole and Profit Maximiser members took an estimated £1 million combined from them just on that offer! Amazing stuff.

Even without offers like that though and just sticking to the regular bookie offers, people are making a regular £300 – £500 per month from Profit Maximiser and some even more than that – by devoting time to it people have turned it into a full-time job making £20,000 to £30,000 per year tax free!

 

        3. Matched Betting Software

Mike Cruickshank's Matched Betting Software

If you are serious about your matched betting then really you need to have access to some Matched Betting Software. 

Basically what it does is scan all the thousands of betting markets across the bookies and exchanges (e.g. Betfair) and find you instances where the odds are very close.

That can save you hours of searching for these yourself, plus it maximises what you can make from each of the bookie offers.

You can sort by sport, event, bookmaker and much more, so finding some odds for a particular event is easy.

We took a look at the Matched Betting Software here and gave it a solid thumbs up, so having this as part of your matched betting portfolio is a must really.

 

      4. Each Way Sniper

Each Way Sniper

Each Way Sniper is a tool for taking advantage of the value that each way bets present in certain situations. You can read our full review of it here. 

What you can do is use the software to find bets that will guarantee you a profit whatever happens. You just place a bet with the bookie and lay off at the exchange, much as you do with matched betting. 

Due to the fact that there is big value in the place part of particular each way bets, this is a strategy that works well and can be used over and over again. 

Making £5 – £10 per bet, you can make a good extra income from this if used regularly. 

 

     5. Accumulator Generator

Accumulator Generator

One of the flagship products in the matched betting portfolio, Accumulator Generator is a tool for use on football accumulators. You can check out our full review of it here.

Basically what it does is take advantage of the bookies accumulator offers on football, whereby if one leg of your acca lets you down, they will refund your stake as a losing bet up to a specified amount. 

With Accumulator Generator it shows you exactly how to set these up as very low risk bets so that you can consistently make a profit from them whatever happens to your acca.

With everything set up for you and all the accas found, it is just a question of entering the stakes and then placing your bets.

You can make £5-£10 per acca, so doing just one per day you could make a nice extra few hundred quid per month. 

 

    6. EV Maximiser

EV Maximiser

EV Maximiser is a tool devoted specifically to assisting you with casino offers.

Basically you enter the deposit required, the amount of the bonus and the wagering requirement into a calculator, as well as which game or slot you are doing and it will tell you what value the offer actually represents.

You see, casino offers vary hugely in terms of the actual value they offer you – some you are better off not doing at all because they are downright rip-offs where as some you have a good chance of making profit from – and it is not always obvious.

So EV Maximiser does the work for you so you can focus on those offers that are worth doing and leaving aside those that are not.

For a serious matched bettor devoting time to making substantial income from these offers, EV Maximiser could be worth thousands of pounds over the long term.

 

       7. Betfair Sniper

Betfair Sniper

A product that is a little different from most of the others in Betting Mastermind, Betfair Sniper is a strategy for finding value in exchange markets to trade certain selections.

What you do with Betfair Sniper is trade horse racing markets before the off for profit, you are not waiting for bets to go in-running to see if they win or not.

A sound strategy that is a worthy addition to your portfolio.

 

     8. Betfair Renegade

Betfair Renegade

Another piece of software that is slightly different to the other main offerings from Mike Cruickshank, Betfair Renegade is a method of finding value football bets on Betfair.

We undertook a live trial of Betfair Renegade here and it made 233 points profit to 10 point stakes, at a return on investment of 14%.

That is a very good return for football betting, where normally a 10% ROI is considered high.

Betfair Renegade achieved a recommended rating during our review and we would underline that again here.

 

    9. Bookie Blowout

Bookie Blowout

Up next in the Betting Mastermind package is Bookie Blowout.

With this one, you are sent e-mails the night before racing with certain selections and you back them with the bookies. Then the next day you lay them off at the exchanges for profit, presuming the odds have moved in the right direction.

Either way though you are just trading out, so again as with all of Mike’s products it is low risk. 

 

     10. Betfair 1% Club

The Betfair 1% Club is a low risk scalping strategy for the Betfair markets to trade before matches start.

The idea is to lock in profits before kick off and to make a nice £10 to £20 per game. You need to have a reasonable trading bank to make a decent profit out of each trade, but it is pretty low risk and a sound theory behind it.

 

    11. Project Prosperity Training System 

And finally, what you get is a training system that tells you in five steps how to make the most of the above 10 systems, spending just one hour per day on them.

This will guide you through the process, showing you the pitfalls and also the time-savers and “low hanging fruit” of the systems in the Betting Mastermind package. 

 

The Savings

If you were to purchase the eleven products listed above separately, it would set you back £1,127. Then you would have another £656 each year in renewal fees.

But if you join Betting Mastermind, you will instead pay £97 + VAT upfront, then three monthly payments of £197 + VAT.

So the savings over the course of a couple of years will add up to over a thousand pounds! A great value package.

 

Conclusion – PASSED

There are members of Mike Cruickshank’s products who make in excess of £3,500 per month from using his strategies.

These people take a professional approach to their matched betting and have taken the time to learn the processes involved to a tee. 

It takes dedication, but clearly it can be done and the Betting Mastermind package offers you the chance to join this elite group of matched bettors.

If you are ready to join that group, we can highly recommend Betting Mastermind as a superb all-round package. A definite five stars for this package and it is one of the best betting system packages we have ever come across.

Bonus Accumulator

Bonus Accumulator – New Review

Whilst we are all waiting for sport to get going again properly, you may be wondering if there is anything worth betting on or if you should hold on to your cash and wait it out. 

Now the last thing we would normally recommend is that you turn to playing casinos. That is pretty much the fastest way to the poor house and is the domain of the “mug punter” – exactly the opposite of what we are aiming to do with this website in helping people profit from their betting. 

However, there is a way you can completely reverse the tables and turn casinos into a potential money-making machine for you and that is what we are going to look at now. 

Yes the service we are going to look at today is called Bonus Accumulator and it focuses on using all the casinos’ offers and bonuses to try and extract a profit. It comes from the team behind the very successful Profit Accumulator service, which we have reviewed previously and awarded a resounding passed rating to. 

There are literally hundreds of casino offers out there, with the potential to make hundreds or even thousands of pounds from them. It can really be quite lucrative if done right.

However, the offers have varying degrees of value. Some offers sound good in theory but once you read the small print aren’t quite so good. 

What Bonus Accumulator does is bring all these offers together in one place, explain how to do them, what the risks and catches are and also allows you to track your progress as you go along.

Even for seasoned gamblers like ourselves who have had bookies accounts for years and done a lot of the casino signup offers already, there is still the potential of many other offers, which is one of the things we are going to look at in our review.

Anyway, we will kick things off now and will report back soon on how we have got on.

Bonus Accumulator are currently doing a special offer of 50% off the first month which you can check out here.

 

 

 

Rebel Betting – New Review

Today we are starting a new trial of a popular and well-known betting service called Rebel Betting. 

It started out as essentially an arbitrage platform but has recently added another tool, value betting, which is what we will be starting out looking at in this review.

According to the website they have had over 125,000 users of their tools since starting up 11 years ago. which shows you the popularity of the platform. 

The idea of the value betting software is to identify instances of overpriced odds that are higher than their true probability. But how do they know if odds are overpriced, you may ask? 

Well, some bookmakers have proven that they are extremely good at determining odds that reflects the actual probability of an outcome. These are often referred to as “sharp” bookmakers, or “sharps”. These “sharps” can vary by sport but are generally consistent in their efficiency.

So when there is a difference between the sharps odds and those of other bookies, you place a bet at the other bookie and lock in the value. 

It could be for example that team news comes out before a game and alters the odds with the sharps who recognise the affect the news has on the teams’ chances, but some bookies are slow to react and adjust their odds, allowing an opportunity to take advantage.

The software constantly crunches the numbers of all these opportunities, comparing the “sharps” with the rest and churns out value bets you can place, in most instances with a link to the relevant market on the bookie’s website. 

You then just place the bet and that is it – no trading or other hedging is required. 

This is very similar to a product we looked at last year, Trademate Sports. We are not sure who came first but it is not unusual in this genre to see similar products emerge, particularly if they work well! 

The disadvantage of value betting versus arbitrage is that the journey doesn’t tend to be quite as smooth, with more ups and downs, but over the course of enough bets (e.g. 1,000+) you are very likely to be up overall. The graph below illustrates how things may go:

In fact, Rebel Betting say the average results of their users is to double their money in three months, if you place 30 bets per day that is.

That would be pretty decent going and you couldn’t complain if those were your results.

Anyway, let’s see how we get on with the software in our review and we will update results here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out Rebel Betting for yourself here.

Matched Bets – Final Review

We have completed our trial of Matched Bets and here are our final thoughts.

The first thing to say it’s a very nice, clean website which is readily accessible for both experienced matched bettors and newbies.

There is excellent customer service and a wealth of guidance to help you through the process. 

Anyway, on with the nitty-gritty, what exactly do you get with Matched Bets?

 

The Matched Bets Package

Once you have signed up, there are a range of tools with Matched Betsincluding:-

  • New Customer Offers
  • Existing Customer Offers
  • Accumulator Offers
  • Casino Offers
  • Bingo Offers
  • Odds Matcher
  • Acca Backers
  • Calculator
  • Forum and Live Chat

Here we have a look at these key features in more detail:-

New Customer Offers

These are the offers for opening a new account with a bookmaker. Although many of you may already have a number of bookie accounts, they are over 50 new account offers so there are bound to be some you haven’t done yet.

 

Existing Customer Offers

These are the offers for bookies that you already have accounts with. In many ways, the existing offers are the bread and butter of matched bettors and it is through them that you can create a regular income, if done wisely.

 

Betting Sites - Existing Customer Offers

The existing customer offers are all set up in a list version with the estimated value of each offer next to it – i.e. what you are likely to actually make on an offer once you have used the exchanges to match it and paid commission etc – which is very useful. 

There is also a daily offers calendar, where users can view reload offers by day as well as sign up offers which haven’t been completed yet. There is also the option to filter the daily offers by bookmaker and mark as done when completed.

 

Accumulator Offers

These are the offers where you place a football accumulator and the bookies refund your bet if one leg lets you down.

Generally you can make £5 – £10 per offer, although you do need to remember to lay off each leg of your acca at the exchanges as it goes along. If you are able to remember to do so, then it is a good way of making some additional matched betting income. 

 

Casino Offers

Pretty self-explanatory really, these are the free casino bets / spins that are available with the various online casinos. 

At the time of writing there are 27 of these casino offers available, again with the estimated value next to it so you know how much you should make from each offer.

 

Bingo Offers

Again, fairly self-explanatory really – these are the offers provided by the various online Bingo sites. There are currently 16 Bingo Offers listed on the Matched Bets website, so a good number to play through and some good profits to be made. 

 

Odds Matcher

The Odds Matcher is an essential tool if you are serious about your matched betting. It lets you find bets with the closest match between the bookies’ odds and the exchanges.

Odds Matcher Tool

The tool gives you the event, the market, the bookie and exchange odds and then the value of the matched bet, which is all the information you need really.

They have recently added tennis and golf to the odds matcher as well as the football and horse racing already on there. 

 

Acca Backer

The Acca Backer is a tool for taking up the bookies’ offers on accumulators, where one leg loses and the bookies refund your bet as a free bet. There are full instructions on different approaches to using these offers, plus available accas coming up that you can back.

Acca Backer Tool

 

Calculator

Another essential part of the matched bettor’s armory is the calculator – so you can work out how much you need to bet on each part of your matched bet and how much you are likely to make.

 

Forum and Live Chat

Matched Bets has a nice forum where you can discuss offers and ideas with other members and seek out the best opportunity, plus learn things from one another.

It also a live chat option, which is not something we have seen in the other matched betting products we have reviewed, but is a really good innovation. 

For those new to matched betting, it is a difficult skill to learn so to have live assistance there for you should aid in the journey to become a more proficient matched bettor. The live chat, together with Information Centre and e-mail support provide a comprehensive package of assistance to guide you on your journey. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Overall Matched Bets is a great matched betting package and certainly one we would recommend. There are some great features available with it and a wide range of tools, including the Acca Backer and live chat.

At a very reasonable cost of just £14 per month or £99 per year, you should have no problem in making your subscription fees back quickly and then you have the potential of making a steady monthly income of up to £500 per month if you are able to protect your bookie accounts with some mug betting.

A highly recommended matched betting product with great customer service.

You can sign up to Matched Bets here.

Matched Bets – New Review

24th March 2017

Matched betting is the art of using bookmakers’ bonuses and free bets to make risk-free (or very low-risk) profits.

How this works is that bookmakers have special offers for new and existing customers. To get an offer you usually have to place a qualifying bet.

So you place the bet with the bookmaker and lay the exact same bet at the exchange. You will more or less break even and qualify for a free bet.

Follow the same process over and over again and you can make a substantial amount of money.

Matched betting now extends beyond just sports betting but includes casino offers, bingo bonuses and much more besides.

It is something that has become very popular among punters and indeed, some people actually make a lucrative full-time living from it.

With such popularity, it is becoming increasingly sophisticated and more tools are being added to the matched bettor’s armory all the time and we are always keen to check these out and see whether they give us an added advantage over the bookies.

In such spirit, we are taking a look at a new matched betting suite – appropriately titled Matched Bets.

It has a very nice-looking website and includes a wide range of tools, which we are looking forward to exploring in more detail.

We will run a short review of this to examine what is available and whether it offers value to would-be matched bettors.

We will report back shortly with our impressions.

In the meantime, please note that Matched Bets are running a special offer at the moment: you can get a year’s membership for just £99, rather than the normal £149.

This is only available until 31st March, so time is running out to claim it.

You can check out Matched Bets here.
