We are starting a new review today of a tennis betting service called Lucrative Rackets.
This is a service that started up on 1st January this year and it comes from the same team behind the Lucrative MMA Betting Tipster service, which passed a trial here at HBR with flying colours back in 2022.
The new tennis service has produced some impressive results so far, with 92 points profit made at a strike rate of 60% and a return on investment (ROI) of 18%.
Those are really strong stats in tennis betting, where an ROI of between 5 and 10% is typically considered very good.
The tips come in a variety of tours, including the main ATP and WTA Tours but also the smaller ITF events and in doubles matches as well as singles.
A variety of markets are also used, including match odds, game handicaps, set betting, breaks of serve and more.
Members of the service receive the tips via the Telegram app, with advised odds and lowest acceptable odds included.
We have been looking out for a good tennis tipster for a while so let’s hope this one can deliver the goods under live trial conditions.
We started receiving tips on 30th August so will record results from then.
As usual we will update results here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on.
We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing service called Blue Chip Naps.
This comes from the Matthew Walton stable of tipsters. Matthew has a keen eye for tipping talent and we always take note when he introduces a new tipster.
The latest one to be introduced to his stable, Blue Chip Naps, is relatively new, having been tipping since April this year.
As the name suggests, this is a service that focuses on selective, high class horses, generally at short odds – like “Blue Chip” stocks, these are the cream of the crop.
The P/L so far stands at 16 points since starting up in mid-April.
The service aims to achieve a high strike rate and so far has done that, with 44% of the selections having been winners.
The return on investment (ROI) has been particularly strong at over 30% and every month so far has been a winning one.
The tipster is apparently a full-time professional with 20+ years of experience who has access to industry contacts but also conducts their own in-depth form analysis.
We tend to like services that achieve a high strike rate because the losing streaks are normally shorter and there is the possibility of staking at higher levels and growing the bank more quickly then low strike-rate services.
So we look forward to seeing how this service gets on under live trial conditions and will kick off the review today.
Results will be updated here as we go along as usual so you can see how they are getting on.
As we so often say with golf betting, it only takes one winner at a big price to turn things around and given they tip at prices up to 300/1 and 400/1, one of those coming in really would turn things around!
Whether it’s at a huge price like that or something smaller, they could certainly do with a winner or two soon.
We are starting a new review today of a golf tipping service called the Golf Betting Club.
This service is run by Duncan and Neil, two brothers hailing from Scotland. They developed a keen interest in tour predictions and golf betting during their upbringing, influenced by their father’s career as a golf journalist for renowned UK newspapers.
Their summers were often spent attending events at prestigious venues such as Loch Lomond, Gleneagles, Wentworth, and various Open Championship locations, immersing themselves in the sport.
Their journey in golf betting spans over two decades, but the inception of the Golf Betting Club occurred in March 2020, amidst the temporary halt in professional golf caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. Utilizing this hiatus, they pooled their extensive knowledge to craft free golf betting tips accessible to all.
Drawing from years of experience, they meticulously crafted over 100 player profiles of the world’s top golfers, constantly refining and expanding their database.
This has resulted in very strong performance to date, with a profit of 779 points made so far since starting up in 2020.
That has been achieved with a return on investment (ROI) of 16%.
Each year so far has been profitable, with the standout year being 2020 when they made 366 points profit.
Last year was also a good one with 167 points profit made and this year has started well too with 22 points profit made so far.
Tips are provided in the PGA, DP World and LIV tours and include both pre-tournament and in-play tips (normally between rounds).
With a strong reputation this is a service we are looking forward to reviewing so we will kick things off (or should that be tee things off?) today.
Results will be updated here as we go along as usual so you can see how they are getting on.
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 it is still up overall – but a large portion of that profit is gone.

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.
We are starting a new trial today of a football betting service called Soccer Bank Builder.
This is a strategy that claims to have turned £100 into £926 in just 9 months.
It says it has done this through a careful one bet a day strategy aimed to steadily grow the betting bank.
It uses a staking system of 10% of the bank on each bet and then recalculating the stake after every bet.
That is quite an aggressive approach and whilst on the one hand we can see how that might be able to turn £100 into over £900 in the space of 9 months, it is also risky.
We have seen similar approaches go close to going bust so it might be more prudent to use a lower stake (say 5%) on each bet.
In any event, for the purposes of our review we will use the 10% staking approach and also record results to one-point level stakes as usual.
It looks like the bets will be mainly at very short odds, which makes sense with the staking plan so hopefully the strike rate will also be high.
At one bet a day it should be nice and simple to follow so let’s see how it gets on under live trial conditions.
We will kick things off today and will report back soon here on how it’s getting on.

Let’s dive into our updated review of OddsMonkey, a service we first looked at back in March 2016 when it was primarily an odds matching tool.
Fast forward to today, and the platform has evolved into a comprehensive matched betting service with a suite of tools designed to maximize your betting profits.
After spending a month testing all the new features, here’s how it stacks up.
It compares odds between bookies and betting exchanges like Betfair, making it easy to find the best value bets.
This tool saves you hours of manual work by showing you the top opportunities in a simple table format.
When you’re matched betting, finding close odds between the bookies and exchanges is crucial.
The Odds Matcher helps you do just that, maximizing your profit from free bets and bonuses.
Below is a look at the live table for using the Odds Matcherand setting up your matched bets.
In the table above you can see the date and time of the event, the sport, the race or match time and the selection.
Then in red you have the rating, which tells you how much value there is in the bet. The you have the relevant bookmaker and betting exchange and the odds, which you can click through to.
Where the rating is above 100, this means the betting exchange odds are above the bookies’ odds for that selection.
The Betting Calculator
The Betting Calculator is another handy tool that takes the guesswork out of matched betting.
It tells you exactly how much to bet and how much you’ll make, ensuring you get the most out of every opportunity.
Racing Matcher
For horse racing enthusiasts, the Racing Matcher is a fantastic tool. It identifies the best odds matches for upcoming races and highlights available offers.
So for example below, you have the 12.45 at Southwell, with three offers available – £50 free with Bet365, £25 free with Betfred and £25 free with Totesport.
Then you click on one of the offers and it opens up the odds matcher with the best odds available with the exchanges to execute the offer.
This is a nice way of working your way through the racecard in an afternoon and taking advantage of lots of free bet offers.
The Eachway Matcher
The Each Way Matcher is perfect for those looking to place value each-way bets in a risk-free manner.
This tool helps you identify bets where the place odds are favorable enough to guarantee a profit, regardless of the outcome.
You can typically make £5-£10 per bet, with multiple opportunities daily. Just be cautious—bookies don’t like this strategy and may limit your account if you overdo it.
The Acca Matcher
Football fans will love the Acca Matcher, which helps you profit from accumulator offers.
By backing an accumulator with a bookie and laying each leg on an exchange, you can lock in a profit—usually around £10 per offer, with several available during the football season.
Dutching Tool
The Dutching Tool allows you to back all possible outcomes of an event across different bookies, guaranteeing a profit no matter what.
While this sounds great, be aware that bookies don’t take kindly to this strategy, and it could lead to account closures.
Tennis Matcher
Finally, the Tennis Matcher is designed to help you find value in tennis betting offers.
While there aren’t as many offers for tennis as there are for racing or football, this tool can still be useful during major tournaments like the US Open.
Premium Membership versus All Access Membership
For just £29.99 per month, the Premium Membership gives you access to all these features for bookmaker offers, which is a very good deal considering the potential profits.
The All-Access membership, at £49.99 per month, includes everything that comes with Premium Membership but also includes casino offers as well as those from bookmakers.
The Free Trial, on the other hand, is more of a taster, offering limited access to a few offers and guides.
OddsMonkeyis a top-notch resource for matched bettors, offering a wide array of tools and guides to help you maximize your profits.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive matched betting service, it’s hard to go wrong with OddsMonkey.
That said, if you’re already using a similar service like Outplayed, there’s no need to switch since they offer similar features.
Also, if you’re outside the UK and Ireland, OddsMonkey might not be as valuable due to the limited availability of free bets and bonuses.
Overall, OddsMonkey is an excellent choice, and we’re happy to give it a full 5 out of 5 stars.
So, why not give it a try? After all, they offer a free trial, so you’ve got nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain!
Rating: 5 out of 5
FAQs about OddsMonkey

These tools simplify the process of finding and placing value bets, ensuring you can lock in profits from bookmaker offers.

However, results can vary based on the number of offers available and how actively you participate.
4. How much does OddsMonkey cost?
OddsMonkey offers a Premium Membership for £29.99 per month which includes bookie offers and a All-Access Membership for £49.99 per month which includes bookie+casino offers.
5. Is there a free trial available?
Yes, Odds Monkey offers a free trial so you can explore the platform and its features before committing to a paid subscription.
6. What types of offers are included in OddsMonkey?
Odds Monkey provides lists of free bet offers for both new and existing bookmaker accounts.
These include “bet x get x” offers, risk-free bets, rollover bonuses, and more.
Additionally, it covers casino, games, and bingo offers.
7. How does the Odds Matcher tool work?
The Odds Matcher tool compares the odds offered by bookmakers and betting exchanges like Betfair.
It helps you find the best matched betting opportunities, where the odds are close enough to guarantee a profit from free bets and bonuses.
8. What is the Racing Matcher?
The Racing Matcher is a tool that identifies the best odds matches for upcoming horse races.
It highlights available offers and helps you place matched bets to take full advantage of these promotions.
9. Can I use OddsMonkey outside the UK and Ireland?
While you can use some features of Odds Monkey from outside the UK and Ireland, the availability of free bets and bonuses can be limited in other regions.
Therefore, the service is most beneficial to users within the UK and Ireland. If you are outside these regions, it is best to check the availability of free bets and bonuses in your region before signing up to a package like OddsMonkey.
10. Is OddsMonkey better than Outplayed?
OddsMonkey and Outplayed offer similar tools and services.
If you’re already a member of Outplayed, there’s no significant benefit to switching to Odds Monkey. Both platforms are highly regarded in the matched betting community.
11. Are there any risks with using OddsMonkey?
Matched betting is generally considered low-risk, but there are some considerations.
For example, if you are doing EV (expected value) betting rather than matched betting, you can still experience losing bets and losing runs. So ensuring you have a sufficient betting bank is important for EV betting.
Equally, using strategies like Dutching or Each Way Matcher excessively can lead to bookmaker account restrictions or closures.
It’s important to use these tools wisely and not draw too much attention to your betting patterns.
12. What is EV (Expected Value) Betting in Matched Betting?
EV (Expected Value) betting in matched betting refers to the process of evaluating the potential profitability of a bet over the long term.
It calculates the average amount you can expect to win or lose if you were to place a similar bet multiple times.
In matched betting, understanding EV helps you assess whether a free bet or promotion is worth pursuing, as it quantifies the likely profit from the offer, guiding your decision-making towards consistently profitable bets.
13. Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes, you can cancel your OddsMonkey subscription at any time. However, it’s recommended to use the free trial first to see if the service meets your needs before committing to a subscription.
The Ten Pound Tipster is a horse racing tipster with the aim to make good profits on UK and Irish racing using just £10 per point stakes.
Ten pounds per month is also the cost of the subscription (at the time of writing). “Winning tips – cheap as chips” as they say.
The tipster started out as many punters do, following all kinds of tipsters and systems in the hope of finding riches, only to be disappointed after much-hyped services failed to deliver.
Then they started to develop their own systems, with long periods of proofing and testing.
Confident in the systems they had developed, they have been running them live for over a year now and we proofed the tips for nine months.
That gave us a good sample size of just under 500 bets.
They calculate results at Betfair SP and stake 1 point to win and 1 point to place (where there are 5 or more runners, 1 point win only when 4 runners or less).
It was somewhat of an up-and-down trial to be honest, as they went 50 points up early on, before falling to over 50 points down and then rallying to finish our trial 33 points up.
So it was solid rather than spectacular, but we always say any profit is not to be sniffed at.
That’s particularly the case when that profit has come at Betfair SP and at a very reasonable subscription cost.
Many tipsters struggle to make a profit at all, let alone at BSP so that is to be commended.
Overall then we’re happy to award the Ten Pound Tipster a narrow PASSED rating as it has delivered a solid profit over the course of our trial.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out e-mail, usually around 6am UK time on the day of racing. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1-2 bets per day on average the workload is very manageable.
Availability of prices: As above, the bets are all to be placed at Betfair SP so there is no issue with price availability.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 39% (including placed horses).
Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank is advised for the service but we used a 100 point bank for our trial. Given the fluctuations we experienced during our trial as described above however, a 150 point bank may be more appropriate here.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are very reasonable at £10 per month or £69 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
The Ten Pound Tipster is a horse racing tipster who bets at Betfair SP on UK and Irish racing.
They made 33 points profit during our nine month trial, which was solid rather than spectacular, but considering that was at Betfair SP it is not to be sniffed at.
This could be an option for those who have had their bookie accounts restricted and are looking for a low-cost tipster on the horses.
The tough times continue unfortunately for horse racing tipster the Ten Pound Tipster, with a loss of 15 points made to Betfair SP since our last update.
That means they are now 40 points down for our trial overall at BSP.
Just a reminder this is a service that advises all bets to Betfair SP, so there are no separate results at advised prices.
A shame to see the loss of form over the last month as they had been doing well up until then; let’s hope they can turn it round again over the next month.
Horse racing tipster the Ten Pound Tipster has bounced back nicely over the last month, with a profit of 8 points made to Betfair SP since our last update.
That means they are now 23 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
There’s been a slide backwards over the last month for horse racing tipster the Ten Pound Tipster unfortunately, with a loss of 21 points made to Betfair SP since our last update.
That means they are now 15 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
Just a reminder this is a service that advises all bets to Betfair SP, so there are no separate results at advised prices.
The highlight so far has been Sharona, a horse that won at a BSP of 60, which obviously helped things along. A few more winners like that would be very welcome!
We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing service called the Ten Pound Tipster.
The name comes from the idea that even at just £10 stakes, this tipster has reportedly made very good profits.
It is also the current cost of subscription, which is set at just £10 per month (at the time of writing). “Winning tips – cheap as chips” as they say.
The tipster started out as many punters do, following all kinds of tipsters and systems in the hope of finding riches, only to be disappointed after much-hyped services failed to deliver.
Then they started to develop their own systems, with long periods of proofing and testing.
Confident in the systems they had developed, they have been running them live since January 2022 and have now made a reported 394 points profit at Betfair SP.
That is quite a total to have amassed and certainly piqued our interest. Any service that can make a profit at BSP is worthy of attention and to have made that much profit in less than two years is quite remarkable.
Tips are sent out early in the morning and there is always the option to use bookies if you wish, which the tipster says are likely to beat the Betfair SP prices.
On average there are around 2-3 tips per day, with some days having four. All tips are one point each-way bets.
Without further ado then we will get this review under way of a refreshingly cheaply-priced tipster and keep our fingers crossed they can maintain the strong results reported on their website.
Results will be updated here as we go along as usual so you can see how they are getting on.
Cleeve Racing is a well-established horse racing tipping service that offers professional-grade tips from a seasoned expert.
With a long history in the industry, they aim to provide punters with consistent profits by leveraging their in-depth knowledge and experience of racing.
We originally reviewed the service back in 2020 when it received a failed rating unfortunately.
However, a change of tipster in 2022 seemed to have resulted in dramatically improved performance, with 340 points profit reportedly made at an ROI of 20% from starting up in May 2022 to the start of our trial in October 2023.
So we were eager to take a look at this new tipster for Cleeve Racing and commenced a live trial of their tips last year.
Results
When it comes to the numbers, the new tipster has unfortunately underperformed across several key metrics however.
Over the review period, Cleeve Racing recorded a Loss of -128 points, which is a substantial decline for any betting service.
This negative outcome is mirrored in their Bank Growth, which stands at -64%—a pretty big hit to the betting bank.
The Strike Rate of 41% (including placed horses) suggests that while nearly half of their bets were successful during our trial, the winners weren’t enough to offset the losses, leading to a negative return.
Their ROI (Return on Investment) was a concerning -22%, meaning for every £100 staked, there was a loss of £22 on average.
These figures highlight the challenging reality for subscribers who have seen their betting bank diminish rather than grow during our trial period.
In light of the results, it’s clear that Cleeve Racing has not lived up to its reputation during our review period.
The combination of a significant points loss, a negative strike rate, and a declining betting bank culminates in an overall disappointing performance.
For now, we have to give Cleeve Racing a FAILED verdict unfortunately.
Unless there is a remarkable turnaround in their results, we could not recommended this service at the current time.
Service Breakdown
Ease of Use: Cleeve Racing is straightforward to follow, with an average of 1 bet per day, making it a manageable service for most punters. Bets are sent out on the day of racing usually, but with plenty of time to place the bets. The tips come with detailed reasoning, providing a good level of transparency and insight into the selection process.
Availability of Prices: One of the service’s strengths is the availability of prices. The tips are usually advised at odds that are widely available across the major bookmakers, which means that subscribers should be able to secure the same odds without too much difficulty.
Strike Rate: The strike rate during our review period was 41% (including placed horses), which is respectable and suggests that Cleeve Racing can find winners on a consistent basis.
However, despite this relatively solid strike rate, the winners have not been enough to counterbalance the losses, resulting in a significant loss overall.
Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised that we could see, so we used a 200pt bank for the purposes of our review. With a loss of -128 points during the review period, that represented a 64% reduction in the bank which is quite a substantial hit.
Subscription Costs: The service is priced at £40 per month or £329 per year at the time of writing. These are relatively high subscription fees, especially considering the results achieved during our trial.
OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED
Cleeve Racing has been a well-regarded name in the horse racing tipping industry and with a new tipster installed in 2022 reporting very promising results, we had high hopes for our re-review of the service.
Despite such hopes however, the service sadly struggled during our review period, recording a loss of -128 points and a troubling ROI of -22%.
Given these results, we must unfortunately give Cleeve Racing a FAILED verdict at this time. We will keep an eye on the service to see if they can turn it around, but for the time being it is not a service we can recommend.
It continues to be a bit of a struggle unfortunately for horse racing tipster Cleeve Racing, with a loss of 6 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 112 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
There’s been a slight improvement at Betfair SP, with a profit of 13 points made since our last update. However, they are still 123 points down for our trial overall at BSP.
Small signs of a recovery lately with 3 winners in the last 5 bets and quite a few seconds over the last month, so hopefully they can build on that and start to reduce the deficit.

That means they are now 106 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
Things just can’t seem to get going for horse racing tipster Cleeve Racing at the moment, with a loss of 15 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 53 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 20 points made since our last update and 64 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.
We are starting to think we are a jinx for this service. When we reviewed it a few years ago it struggled, then when our review ended they went and made 340 points profit. Now when we are reviewing again they are down. 🙁
Well it’s just bad luck of course rather than a jinx but hopefully it turns around for them soon.

Just a reminder that this is a service we originally reviewed a few years ago, but they got a new tipster in May 2022 and the results since then have been greatly improved, so in many ways this is like a new review.

In any event, a solid start so far – let’s see if they can push on from here.
Every once in a while here at Honest Betting Reviews we like to give services we have reviewed in the past a second look.
This could be because they have had a significant reversal in fortunes, a change of strategy or have revamped their service altogether.
An example of this is a service we reviewed some time ago but that has come up on our radar once again after major changes – and much improved results – and that is Cleeve Racing.
This is a horse racing tipster we originally reviewed back in 2020 and to be frank, it had a pretty horrible time during that trial.
Despite being a respected service with strong results coming into our trial, unfortunately they finished over 100 points down at the end of our review.
Now 2020, as you will no doubt remember, was a tough time for racing (and just about everything else!) as racing was cancelled due to covid and then had a revised and condensed schedule.
Whatever the difficulties faced however, sadly the service just didn’t perform.
However, in May 2022 Cleeve Racing got a new tipster and since then it has looked like a completely different service.
In many ways of course, getting a new tipster is like starting a new service, so perhaps it isn’t even accurate to call this a “re-review” at all and calling it a “new review” would be more accurate.
In any event, we don’t want to get too bogged down in semantics so let’s get down to the brass tacks instead.
Since the new tipster – a chap called Mike with many years of experience as a professional punter – took over in May 2022, he has made a superb 340 points profit.
That has been achieved with an excellent return on investment (ROI) of just over 20%.
Fifteen out of the seventeen months Mike has been tipping have been profitable, which is the kind of consistency we like to see!
[In case you missed it, Mike & Cleeve have also produced a FREE Ten to Follow Guide for the jumps season, which you can grab here].
With such solid results under their belts we are keen to see how the new revamped Cleeve Racing gets on under a live trial. Hopefully we won’t jinx it this time…
Anyway, we will kick off the trial today and will update results here as we go along as usual.

They continue to fare somewhat worse at Betfair SP, with a profit of 7 points made since our last update, but 76 points lost at BSP for our trial to date.
So still a lot of work to do here to turn things around.
Also of note is that they have upped the staking over the last month or so from 1 point each-way bets to 2 point each-way bets. So members’ betting banks would need to adjust accordingly.
They continue to fare a little worse at Betfair SP, with no change since our last update, meaning they are still 83 points down at BSP for our trial to date.
Let’s hope the recent improvement is a sign of larger turnaround in their fortunes.
They continue to fare a little worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 7 points made since our last update and 83 points lost at BSP for our trial to date.
This one could certainly do with a turnaround in fortunes soon.
Things have been going slightly worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 26 points made since our last update and 76 points lost at BSP for our trial to date.
Let’s see if they can start to turn things around over the next month.
Things have been going slightly worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 21 points made since our last update and 48 points lost at BSP for our trial to date.
Hopefully a bit of a break over Xmas will enable them to recharge the batteries and get going again afterwards.
We are starting a new review today of a horse racing service called All Weather Place.
This is a tipster based at the Betting Gods tipster platform and they take a rather different approach to betting than most horse racing tipsters out there.
As the name suggests, they focus solely on all-weather racing and just on the place market.
It’s an interesting approach and not one we’ve seen tried successfully before – although very few tipsters have tried it in fairness. Most focus on the win or each-way markets.
However, we have often wondered if there could be value in the place markets, with for example certain horses who tend to perform consistently and grab a place but rarely win.
The service has been going for just over a year now and the results have been solid, with a shade under 50 points profit made in total.
That has come with a good strike rate of 40% and a decent return on investment (ROI) of 9%.
The good news is that all results are at Betfair SP, so there are no worries for those who have had their bookie accounts restricted.
We are always open to new ideas and approaches to betting so will be interesting to see how this one gets on in our live trial.
Results will be updated here as we go along as usual so you can see how they are getting on.
