A reminder these tips come from the Bookie Insiders team who we have previously reviewed – and passed – here at HBR.
Just to note this service has a maximum membership of 75 places and there are only 3 places remaining so if you wanted to sign up, best to do so soon before those spots are taken.
Just a reminder these tips come from the Bookie Insiders team who we have previously reviewed – and passed – here at HBR.
There was a drop in bet volume over the summer with not much football on but now the season is up and running again they are back in full flow churning out the tips.
Just to mention that this service is now full with no new memberships available. However spots do open up now and then so it is worth keeping an eye on.
Football service Anytime Goalscorer Bets continues to perform very impressively, with a profit of 10 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now an excellent 83 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.
Just a reminder these tips come from the Bookie Insiders team who we have previously reviewed – and passed – here at HBR.
It’s been good to see this service performing so well considering how tough it is for footy services to generate a decent long-term profit. Very promising indeed.
Just a reminder these tips come from the Bookie Insiders team who we have previously reviewed – and passed – here at HBR.
There have been slightly few bets with the recent international break but we are now back into regular domestic football so should be back to full strength again this weekend.
We have been following these bets since August so have recorded the results from then.
Just a reminder these tips come from the Bookie Insiders team who we have previously reviewed – and passed – here at HBR.
The bets are for a player to score at any time in a match and come in the main European leagues (and currently in the World Cup) where there is good liquidity.
A promising start then to this service, let’s hope it continues.
Niche football betting markets have been attracting more attention in recent years, with services now offering tips on everything from shots on target, to corners, passes and more.
One such niche service concentrates solely on the market of whether a player will score at any time in a match and that is Anytime Goalscorer Bets.
This comes from the Bookie Insiders betting team, who regular readers will know we are big fans of with their other two main football and golf services both having passed trials on the site with flying colours.
The Anytime Goalscorer Bets service is a relatively new offering, having been tipping since April this year.
Since then they have amassed some impressive results, with 72 points profit made at a strong return on investment of 13%.
The strike rate has been 33%, which is pretty good for these type of bets.
As with the main Bookie Insiders footy service, all these bets are in major European leagues where there is strong liquidity.
The odds of these bets can vary from odds-on shots right up to 5/1 or 6/1, just wherever there is value it appears.
Tips are sent out via Telegram and they are usually in batches for a weekend or midweek fixture list.
These can be quite fun bets to follow as well as you are cheering on a player to score in a game. Whether it comes off his backside or is a screamer from 30 yards doesn’t matter, just as long as it goes in!
Anyway, we have already been proofing these tips for a while, since August in fact so will record results from then.
Results will be updated here as we go along as always so you can see how things are going.
Here at Honest Betting Reviews we are always on the lookout for services in sports beyond the “big three” of horse racing, football and golf.
In particular we are keen to seek out services covering US sports, which we see getting more coverage from tipsters now that gambling is legal in many US states.
The biggest US sport of them all of course is NFL, which is now a truly global game with massive TV audiences around the world and even some games being played in London.
Perhaps surprisingly, there are however a dearth of good NFL tipsters out there and we currently don’t have any on our Winning Tipsters list.
Hopefully that is all about to change however with this next review. The service we are looking at is called The Snap and it comes from a guy called Russ Yershon.
Russ is an NFL expert and sports fanatic who has featured on channels such as Bloomberg, offering his expert analysis and viewpoints on the sport.
His results last season were very impressive, with a return on investment of 14.81% being achieved on a strike rate of 58%.
It sounds like quite an easy service to follow with just 3-4 bets per week. There’s also a members-only chat group on Telegram where you can get discuss the week’s match-ups.
With the NFL season just about to kick off, it feels like an opportune time to get a review underway and in fact Russ has already sent out his outright picks for the campaign.
So without further ado we will get this review off and running and will report back here regularly on how things are going.
Just a reminder this is an automated strategy that places bets automatically on your Betfair account using software called Cloud Bet Bot. It is about backing favourites, one horse per race according to given criteria identified by Expo Bet.
The settings we are using are: exchange straight (which is the price just before the off), normal staking (not ratchet) and 1 point level stakes per bet.
It’s also worth adding that this strategy made 167 points profit during our original trial last year, so overall it is still well up.

We are starting a new review today of a betting service called Sure Favs.
Well that’s not strictly accurate in fact – it’s actually picking up from a review we did previously.
Sure Favs is an automated betting system from the Exponential Bet (or Expo Bet for short) suite of services and we previously took a look at it as part of a broader review of four of their systems.
Although as a whole the four systems didn’t make a profit over the course of our review, Sure Favs was the one service that did perform well, producing an excellent 167 points profit during our trial.
We have kept an eye on results since our trial ended and it has continued to perform well, as you can see from the results graph below from the main Sure Favs system:-
Sure Favs – Main Exchange & BSP (Straight)
So we thought it would be a good time to give Sure Favs another look and put it through a dedicated trial of its own here at HBR.
In a nutshell Sure Favs is an automated strategy that places bets automatically on your Betfair account using software called Cloud Bet Bot.
We have tested the software out extensively across a number of reviews now and it works very well, placing bets seamlessly on your Betfair account to your specified stakes, all without the need for a VPN or leaving your computer running all day. Impressive stuff.
As the name suggests, Sure Favs is about backing favourites, one horse per race according to given criteria identified by Expo Bet.
There are essentially three strategies that form part of the service:
Sure Favs Main
Sure Favs High
Sure Favs Foundation
It is recommended to use a 100 point bank for each.
For a bit more info about the service, here is Ryan from Expo Bet with a quick run-down:
So it should be an interesting review and one we are looking forward to given the solid long-term results this one has amassed.
As always we will update results here as we go along.
Here at Honest Betting Reviews we like to continue monitoring services after our review has ended to ensure that they continue producing the results seen in our trial.
So a full five years after our original review of The Bookies Enemy, it is high time for an update to see if they continue to warrant a PASSED rating from us.
In our original review back in 2018 (please see below) the service made a highly commendable 104 points profit at a return on investment of 41%, a very successful trial.
However, many services then fade away after a positive trial, failing to maintain their form and to continue to produce a profit. In fact most tipster services are discontinued within a year or two of launching.
So first off it is noteworthy that The Bookie Enemy (run by a chap called Gary Poole) is still going at all five years after our original trial. There are very few services out there who manage to keep going that long.
This is one of those rare tipsters that has stuck around for the long term however, with the service going back to 2008 in one form or another.
Sticking around a long time doesn’t mean a lot in itself though if you aren’t also producing regular profit, but thankfully The Bookies Enemy has done that in spades!
Since our original review ended in 2018, they have added a further 771 points profit, putting the total since we started proofing the service at 875 points profit!
That would be £21,875 profit at £25 per point stakes or £8,750 profit at more modest £10 per point stakes.
Those are phenomenal results and worthy of high praise indeed over such a long period.
If we look at the graph here from January 2020 onwards, it has really been pretty much nothing but upward growth:
The long-term strike is 20% and the return on investment 15%, which are impressive metrics to have maintained over the course of six years.
In terms of the more recent performance, that has also been stellar with 350 points profit made over the last year.
Just this month for example they are already 33 points up, so the service is going as strong as ever.
It will be no surprise then to learn that we are not only happy to maintain our PASSED rating for The Bookies Enemy but to upgrade its rating from 4.5 to 5 stars.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
We can’t stress enough how rare it is to find tipsters who stick around for the long term, let alone who actually produce high quality results year after year.
The Bookies Enemy has proved itself to be one of those tipsters however, with a superb 771 points profit made since our original trial and 875 points profit made since we started proofing the service back in 2017.
That puts it in an elite category of tipsters and well worthy of a full five star rating from us. Top stuff.
The Bookies’ Enemyis a horse racing tipster who has been around for a number of years, operating on their own website and on various tipster platforms.
They recently switched to the Betting Gods tipster platform and not long after that we commenced a three month trial of the service.
The Bookies’ Enemy has a strong reputation of having made very good profits for his followers each year and so we were looking forward to seeing how he would get on under the spotlight of a live trial here at Honest Betting Reviews.
So how did things turn out?
Well we are pleased to say that they turned out very well, with over 100 points profit made to advised prices.
That works out at more than a doubling of the bank in just three months, which is excellent going.
And the return on investment for our trial was a superb 41%, one of the best achieved during a trial for some time.
The strike rate was a little on the low side at 19%, as this is a service that relies on picking long-odds winners that represent strong value rather than backing favourites. So a degree of patience is advised when following the service.
As you can see from the graph below, we were in profit for pretty much the whole trial, punctuated by a big move upwards in the middle.
Whilst overall the results were fantastic, the one point to be aware of is that the Betfair SP results were quite a bit lower than the advised ones, with 32 points profit made in comparison to the 104 points profit made to advised prices.
So although that is still a good profit, to really get the best out of the Bookies’ Enemy you do want to have access to bookie accounts.
All in all however the trial has been a tremendous success and we are happy to award the Bookies’ Enemy a PASSED rating.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: Pretty straightforward service to follow with just a couple of bets per day on average sent the evening before racing, usually between 6pm and 8pm UK time.
Availability of prices: With such a popular and long-running service like this, inevitably there is downward pressure on prices and so you want to get your bets on as soon as possible after tips are sent out. As we say, there was a big difference between results at advised prices and Betfair SP.
Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 19%, which is pretty much spot on the long term average.
Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point bank is advised for following the service, which should be ok given the average staking is 1.2 points per bet, but to be on the safe side you may want to consider using a 150 point bank.
Subscription costs: The costs to sign up are £1 for the first 10 days then £40 per month, £80 per quarter or £240 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
We often say here at Honest Betting Reviews that one of the most important factors when looking at a tipster is their long-term record. The longer they have been able to produce a consistent profit, the better.
Well the Bookies’ Enemy has been producing profit for a number of years and has continued to do so since switching to the Betting Gods platform.
Under the spotlight of a live trial the service also performed admirably, racking up over 100 points profit in just three months, which would be over £1,000 to just £10 stakes.
With a return on investment of over 40%, this is one of the best trials we have seen for some time and it is a definite PASSED rating from us.
The only thing to be aware of is that the results at Betfair SP were quite a bit lower than the advised prices, so you really want to have access to bookie accounts to get the most out of the service.
But all in all it has been impressive stuff from the Bookies’ Enemy and this is one we will be adding to our portfolio for the long-term.
At Betfair SP he is somewhat behind the advised price results, although still doing very well, with 34 points profit made since our last update and 49 points profit overall.
This is looking like another top service for the Betting Gods platform alongside some of their other high quality horse racing tipsters.
Quite a significant gap is opening up between the advised prices and Betfair SP results, as we are now just 15 points up at Betfair SP for the trial overall after losing 24 points since our last update.
So it is questionable whether this is going to be profitable to follow the service at Betfair SP, time will tell on that front.
Overall though the trial is still going very well so can’t have too many complaints thus far.
So the saying goes. It may be a cliche we hear often in the sporting world, but it applies just as much in the tipping world too.
And it certainly applies to the next tipster we will be reviewing here at Honest Betting Reviews.
This tipster has been around for some time and has built a reputation as one of the most respected names in the business.
He has regularly made over 100 points profit per year and is famous for landing betting coups at long odds.
Who are we talking about?
It is none other than The Bookies’ Enemy of course, a horse racing tipster who has recently signed up for the Betting Gods stable.
It is quite a coup for Betting Gods as well, as the Bookie’s Enemy comes with a strong betting record and following behind him.
He has offered his tips through a number of sources previously, including social media, his own website and another tipster platform. He has been known as “Bookies’ Enemy Number One” formerly, but now it is just the Bookies’s Enemy.
But hopefully now he has found his rightful home at Betting Gods who should provide the kind of stability for him to really prosper.
The Bookies’ Enemy is in fact a chap called Gary Poole and as we say, he has been around for a number of years and has regularly racked up impressive profits in that time.
Since starting proofing to Betting Gods he has made a very impressive 270 points profit, which has worked out at an amazing £550 profit per month to just £10 stakes.
Those results have been achieved at a superb return on investment of 80%.
Retaining a return at that level will be nigh-on impossible in the long run, but regular profits should be very possible and indeed have been Gary’s staple.
His strike rate has averaged around the 22% so far and as we say, his specialism is going for horses at long odds of 25/1, 33/1 and even higher on occasion.
He has also been known to land a big-priced acca or two, so watch out for those if you are a follower of the service.
All in all then this is a serious tipster and one we are looking forward to testing out.
We started receiving tips on 17th November so we will record results from then onwards. We are pleased to report we are off to a flying start as well.
As usual, results will be updated here regularly during the trial.

We are starting a new trial today of a service called Winner Spreads.
This is actually a follow-up to a service we reviewed a few years ago, Sports Spread Betting.
It was a service run by a guy called Max and focused on spread betting, which is quite a niche these days compared to the more ubiquitous fixed odds betting.
The service made an excellent 751 points profit in our trial, with a 51% strike rate and 75% bank growth.
It continued on for a couple of years after our trial ended, performing very well overall and delivering healthy profits.
However, at the beginning of 2020 Max had to discontinue the service due to time constraints and work pressure.
Now though he is back in business, having brought the service back to life at the beginning of this year and things have been going well (485 points profit Jan-Jun 2023).
He says his database of stats has improved massively he is very confident of long-term consistent profits.
Max says the same money-back guarantee that he used to have will be provided for any month that doesn’t clear 25 points of profit.
A variety of sports are used including football, horse racing and tennis. There are generally 1-2 bets per day making it pretty simple to follow.
You will of course need a spread betting account to place the bets. We would recommend Sporting Index who have some excellent opening offers and generally good spreads across their markets.
So we will kick this review off today and will record results here as we go along as usual so you can see how the service is getting on.
It should not be confused with Mike Cruickshank’s matched betting suiteof the same name, which was released a couple of years ago and is completely separate. To differentiate the two we refer to this service as Betting Mastermind (Football).
Anyway, Betting Mastermind (Football) is a group of football betting strategies, which at the start of our trial consisted of:
Back the draw
Lay the draw
Back the home win
Back the away win
Back over 0.5 first half goals
During the course of our review, the lay the draw strategy was dropped. We were also not able to proof the first half goals system which often has low liquidity so prices needed to be verified at kick-off time (with some matches kicking off late at night and early morning when we were not available).
Anyway, all four strategies are included within the monthly subscription price if you do wish to follow them all.
We followed the service for 9 months which gave us nearly a full season of tips and provided over 1700 bets, a very good sample size.
Bets can be placed on Betfair which is good for those whose bookie accounts have been restricted and results are recorded according to the Betfair prices. All bets are simple win bets with no trading required.
At the end of our review, the results of the systems were as follows:-
Back the draw: -2 points
Lay the draw: -33 points (discontinued in January)
Back the home win: +36 points
Back the away win: +13 points
TOTAL: +14 points
So a solid effort there but given it was over the course of nine months and over 1700 bets, the returns were a little on the low side.
The return on investment was also low at just 1% and the bank growth only 7%.
Whilst we always a profit is a profit and shouldn’t be sniffed at, ultimately if you take the overall returns and cost of subscription, it just doesn’t quite warrant a passed rating from us.
So we award Betting Mastermind a NEUTRAL rating at the end of our trial. If you are going to follow the service, it looks like the back the home win and back the away win are the two strategies to concentrate on.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, at different times of day depending on when the matches are. Either way there is plenty of time to get the bets on. With around 6 bets per day on average there is a bit of work involved in following the service, although as mentioned earlier all bets can be placed on Betfair which makes things easier.
Availability of prices: We didn’t notice a huge impact on prices so you should be able to get close to the recorded results without too much problem.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was okay at 35% but would probably need to be a little higher to generate a consistent profit.
Advised Betting Bank: We could not see a recommended bank for following the service but used a 200 point bank for the purposes of our review which was never in jeopardy.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £29.99 per month.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
Betting Mastermind (Football) is a suite of football betting systems covering a range of different markets.
We conducted a nine-month trial of the service and at the end of our review, they made a solid profit of 14 points.
Whilst that was a respectable result, based on a low ROI of 1% and bank growth of just 7%, it wasn’t quite enough to merit a passed rating so it’s a NEUTRAL rating from us for this service.
As mentioned previously there are a huge number of selections for this service, so you may wish to follow just one or two of the systems rather than all of them (also a note that we are no longer including the FHG bets in our results as they turned out quite difficult to proof on prices).
The Lay the Draw selections had been really struggling and were over 40 points down for our trial, so were discontinued on 18th March so that some time can be taken to review it and put it to use in a better way.
As mentioned previously there are a huge number of selections for this service, so you may wish to follow just one or two of the systems rather than all of them (also a note that we are no longer including the FHG bets in our results as they turned out quite difficult to proof on prices).
Alternatively there is the option of using BF Bot Manager to automate the strategies, with instructions on how to do so included with the service.
As mentioned previously there are a huge number of selections for this service, so you may wish to follow just one or two of the systems rather than all five.
Alternatively there is the option of using BF Bot Manager to automate the strategies, with instructions on how to do so included with the service.
Either way though has been a steady trial so far at pretty much breakeven so hopefully they can kick on now that we have a full set of football fixtures again.
Just to note that we have only been able to proof prices for the Back the Draw and Lay the Draw systems in this trial as verifying prices across all the different systems would be a major challenge with a huge number of selections, particular for the first half goals system which often has low liquidity so prices would need to be verified at kick-off time (with some matches kicking off late at night and early morning).
The prices we have been able to proof for the two systems match up pretty closely to the advised prices however, with some a little higher and some a little lower, but overall ending up with very similar results.
A promising start to this trial then, let’s hope it continues.
Today we are starting a new trial of a football betting service called Betting Mastermind.
This should not be confused with the Mike Cruickshank matched betting suiteof the same name, which was released a couple of years ago and is completely separate. To differentiate the two we are referring to this service as Betting Mastermind (Football).
Anyway, Betting Mastermind (Football) is a group of football betting strategies, consisting of:
Back the draw
Lay the draw
Back the home win
Back the away win
Back over 0.5 first half goals
All five strategies are included within the monthly subscription price.
Stuart says he has “been working a developing loads of different strategies to not only create consistently logical and profitable betting systems centred around football, but also how I can diversify that betting so that at no point I have all my liquidity and bank at risk on a single market.”
The results to date look very impressive – almost too good to be true to be honest – with 1880 points profit supposedly made to date since 2019.
We very much hope those results are true as it would be great to find another profitable footy tipster with there being so few of them around.
In any event, there is only one way to find out and that is through a live trial so we look forward to kicking this one off (if you’ll excuse the pun) and see if they can reproduce the excellent profits reported on the website.
As usual results will be updated here as we go along.
The Rolling Aces is a tennis tipster from the Betting Gods stable of tipsters.
This service uses an unusual “rolling accumulator” staking system.
In essence this means they roll on the stakes and profit from the previous bet until a sequence of winners is completed.
It is much like an accumulator but doing it manually because the bets are over a few days.
The aim in each sequence of bets is to turn 1pt into either 10pts or 20pts for each attempt. Normally it takes 4 or 5 winning bets in a row to successfully complete a sequence.
If a sequence is completed – or loses – you go back to the beginning and start with a 1 point stake.
In that sense it is good because you aren’t risking more than one point of your bank for each sequence – that is the most you can lose for each sequence. So it’s not like loss-recovery (aka martingale) in which stakes can become ridiculous quite quickly.
In any event, for the purposes of our review we recorded the results at both the advised staking and 1 point level stakes, to aid comparison and to be sure the tips are profitable in themselves and not just because of the staking system.
The bets come in a variety of markets including match odds, handicaps, over/under games and more. The vast majority of bets are on the main ATP and WTA Tours.
We ran an extended 18 month review which gave us a very good sample size of 409 bets.
At the end of our trial, The Rolling Aces finished with a commendable 93 points profit at their advised rolling staking.
That was achieved with a high strike rate of 61% and a solid return on investment of 9%.
At one-point level staking, the returns were a little more modest, with a profit of 11 points made over the course of our trial.
So really it looks like if you are following this service then the rolling staking is the way to go.
As mentioned above, we don’t see this as a problem as it is not loss-recovery staking or really any more risky than one point level staking.
The profits were pretty steady during the trial, as you can see here:
Overall then we are happy to award The Rolling Aces a PASSED rating.
It finished just under the 100 point profit mark which is good going and was solidly in profit for pretty much our entire trial.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, at different times of day depending on when the matches are. Either way there is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1 bet per day on average the workload is very manageable.
Availability of prices: We didn’t notice a huge impact on prices so you should be able to get close to the recorded results without too much problem.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was good at 61% so there was a reasonably steady rate of returns and drawdowns were kept to a minimum.
Advised Betting Bank: A 150 point bank is recommended for following the service which seems reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during the course of our 18 month trial.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £0.99 for the first ten days then £37 per month.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
It’s been quite a while since we passed a tennis service here at Honest Betting Reviews as good ones are hard to come by.
So we are pleased to see The Rolling Aces come through an extended 18 month trial with a commendable 93 points profit at advised staking.
With decent metrics of a 61% strike rate and 9% ROI, it’s a clear PASSED rating from us for this innovative tennis tipster.
This service uses an unusual “rolling accumulator” staking system. In essence this means they roll on the stakes and profit from the previous bet until a sequence of winners is completed, or there’s a loser. The aim in each sequence of bets is to turn 1pt into 20pts for each attempt.
We are also recording results at level stakes for the purpose of comparison and to be sure the tips are profitable in themselves and not just because of the staking system.
Using flat stakes there has been no change since our last update, meaning they are still 13 points up for our trial overall.
So good to see the flat staking also in profit, but if you are following this service then clearly the advised staking is the better option to use.

So as mentioned last time a bit of a divergence in results depending on which staking system you use, but the rolling staking isn’t a loss recovery system so doesn’t come with inherently more risk — you are only ever rolling on winnings, not chasing losses.

This service uses an unusual “rolling accumulator” staking system. In essence this means they roll on the stakes and profit from the previous bet until a sequence of winners is completed. So much like an accumulator but doing it manually because the bets are over a few days. The aim in each sequence of bets is to turn 1pt into 20pts for each attempt. Normally it takes 4 or 5 winning bets in a row to successfully complete.
If a sequence loses you go back to the beginning and start with 1 point staked. In that sense it is good because you aren’t risking more than one point of your stakes for each sequence – that is the most you can lose for each sequence. So it’s not like loss-recovery (aka martingale) in which stakes can become ridiculous quite quickly.
In any event, we are also recording results at level stakes for the purpose of comparison and to be sure the tips are profitable in themselves and not just because of the staking system. They are 3 points down for our trial to date at level stakes.

Today we are starting a new trial of a tennis tipster called The Rolling Aces.
Over the years we have come across very few high-quality tennis betting services. In fact to date we only have one approved tennis service – Tennis Goldmine.
Yet tennis is one of the most gambled-on sports in the world and with matches pretty much year-round it does offer lots of opportunities to bet on.
So we are always eager to check out any promising new tennis services and The Rolling Aces looks like it fits the bill.
It’s only been proofing to the Betting Gods site since August last year but has made a profit every month since then, with total profit of over 110 points made so far.
That has been achieved at a massive return on investment (ROI) of 42% and an excellent strike rate of 66%.
The bets tend to come in more niche markets like handicaps, number of games, breaks of serve etc.
There is a twist with this service though and that comes with the staking. In essence they roll on the stakes and profit from the previous bet. So much like an accumulator but doing it manually because the bets are over a few days so it wouldn’t be possible to place them in an acca as the odds wouldn’t be available.
It’s a little unusual to be honest and not a staking system we have seen used too often. It’s not inherently risky though because you are starting with one point stakes and only rolling on previous gains, so it’s totally different to loss-recovery staking systems that we are not normally fans of.
As ever though we will see whether it works in practice under a live trial. We started receiving tips on 20th January so will record results from then and will update progress as we go along here.

UPDATE – Please note this service has been discontinued so our review is also terminated.
Although the service had been going along okay and was in profit for our trial, on 25th May a message was sent out via Telegram saying: “Those that have paid this month will be refunded, all payments cancelled, and service terminated. Simply not reached the form he had and doesn’t warrant continuation.”
So another service bites the dust sadly. Been quite a few lately that have been discontinued before our trial has even finished.
Just shows once again how hard the tipping game is and how few actually master it in the long run. Thankfully there are a few that do though!
However, it’s been a better month at Betfair SP, with a profit of 4 points made since our last update and 16 points profit made for our trial to date at BSP.
So it looks like this service is actually better to follow at BSP than advised prices.
Just a reminder this is a laying service on the horses, normally providing up to one selection per day.
The maximum lay price is 4.0, so taking the BSPs would mean quite a few of the selections have gone over 4.0 by the time of the race and would therefore be no bet.
The results at Betfair SP continue to outperform those at advised prices, with a profit of 1 point made since our last update and 12 points profit made for our trial to date.

There have now been 18 winning lays in a row, which is quite an effort considering the lay prices are under 4.0. Impressive stuff.

The maximum lay price is 4.0, so taking the BSPs would mean quite a few of the selections have gone to over 4.0 by the time of the race and would therefore be no bet. One even drifted from a recommended price of 3.95 all the way out to 12.24!
In any event, it’s far too early to draw any conclusions so far on advised prices vs BSP, especially as this is a very low volume service so we have only had 10 bets thus far. Will need to get a good deal more in the bank before we can make any judgements on that.
Sometimes we refer to the “London buses” scenario here at Honest Betting Reviews – you wait ages for one and then two come along at once.
Well that is the case this week for horse racing laying services. We’ve waited a while for any promising ones to review but this week we’ve got two!
First up was The Lay Bet Tipster which we started a review of on Tuesday. And today we have Lay2Win – a horse racing laying service from the Punt Hub tipster platform.
This is a service that has been going since January 2021 and according to the results on its website has amassed an impressive 86 points profit since starting up.
That has come with a very strong strike rate of 84% and an equally impressive return on investment (given the high strike rate) of 15%.
Since they started, 16 out of 18 months have been profitable which is the kind of consistency we like to see.
It’s a very selective service with usually just a few bets per week, so the workload looks to be pretty minimal with this one.
The highest odds they lay at is 4.0, so that keeps the liability down on each bet.
It looks quite interesting then and quite similar in terms of results to the Lay Bet Tipster. Which one will come out on top though? We’ll have to wait until the end of the trials to see!
Don’t worry though, you don’t have to wait that long to find out how this one is getting on – we will provide regular updates here as we go along.
Today we are starting a new review of a footy betting service called The Away Days.
This is a service from the Tipstrr platform of tipsters and is relatively new on the block but has an interesting approach that offers some promise.
The tips come from a chap called Rob, who says his strategy involves “Betting on away teams to win where I see value and the odds are ideally greater than evens but not always.”
He says he mainly take the bets at the Betfair Exchange although he occasionally uses a bookie.
As we say the results so far look promising with an average profit of £183 per month at a return on investment of over 10%.
The strike rate is good too at 43% meaning a fairly high proportion of winning bets.
Although it’s still early days with this service we are intrigued by the approach of taking away sides when they are favourites, as it’s a trend we’ve noticed ourselves so will be interesting to see if turns out to be profitable.
It’s a relatively low volume service with as there won’t be bets every day, but enough action to keep things ticking over at least.
So without further ado we’ll get our first review of 2023 underway with this footy service and will report back soon on how they are getting on.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Away-Days-pic.png400881Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2023-06-16 08:54:152023-06-16 11:47:51The Away Days – Final Update
Just a reminder that this is a service that only recommends bets at Betfair SP, so there are no separate results at BSP.
It’s been a rough old time for this service since our review started. The results looked very promising coming into our trial but sadly it may have hit the curse of the reviewer, as it has only gone one way since. A turnaround is needed quickly.
Just a reminder that this is a service that only recommends bets at Betfair SP, so obviously there are no separate results for this one at BSP.
It’s been a bit disappointing so far as there was a lot of excitement at the launch of the service around the idea of finding a service that’s profitable on Betfair, but it is very early days so far too early to draw any conclusions.
We are starting a new trial of a racing service called the BSP Racing Tipster.
As you may have guessed from the name, this is a service that tips solely at Betfair SP. That means no worrying about whether you will obtain the advised prices or having bookie accounts restricted etc.
We often refer to it as the “holy grail” of betting to find a tipster that is profitable at BSP. There are a few of them out there thankfully (see our list of top horse racing tipsters here for examples), but very few that are actually built around tipping at BSP.
That is where this tipster comes in and their record to date looks very promising. They have been proofing to Betting Gods for over a year, which is an extensive proofing period, and the total profit made to date stands at just under 200 points.
The return on investment has been excellent at over 33% whilst the strike rate is pretty good too, also at 33%.
Most of the bets are in the win market but there are a few in the place market as well.
Out of 14 months so far, 13 have been profitable which is very impressive consistency.
There is currently an offer to get the first month for just 99p, but we understand it is due to close very soon.
In any event, we are looking forward to getting this trial underway as it is rare to find an opportunity like this of a tipster that is based around tipping at BSP.
As ever results will be updated here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on.
