Betting Mastermind Re-Review

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

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.

Back of the Net – Full Review

 

Back of the Net is a football laying service run by Andrew David, the man behind the long-running and highly rated Little Acorns system.

With that kind of pedigree, we were eager to see how his football service would fare—and we’re glad to report it lived up to expectations.

The service sends out automated alerts via e-mail for lay the draw opportunities in-play on the exchanges, typically late on in football matches.

The idea is to take advantage of games where a goal is statistically likely, allowing you to lay the draw at low odds (typically 1.40 to 1.90), limiting liability.

Staking System

The advised staking is a modified Fibonacci sequence—starting with 1pt and increasing through 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6.5 and so on until a winner is hit. At that point, the sequence resets.

This approach helps claw back losses when there’s a losing run, but as with any progressive staking system, it’s not for the faint-hearted.

However, we also tracked the performance using level staking (laying each selection to win 1 point), to give a clear picture of the profitability of selections in themselves rather than due to any staking system used.

We believe given the results discussed below level stakes may be a more appealing route for many subscribers due to their simplicity and lower risk.

Results Analysis

Looking at the final results for Back of the Net using level stakes, the performance was very encouraging.

Over the course of our six-month trial, the service produced a steady stream of profits, showing good consistency.

A 34-point profit to level stakes is an excellent return, particularly for a laying system where liabilities are typically kept low (due to laying at odds between 1.40 and 1.90, with the average being 1.6).

The 41% strike rate is right around the sweet spot for lay the draw betting—high enough to keep drawdowns manageable, but not so high that it raises questions about sustainability.

It’s clear the system is good at identifying games where a goal is likely in the closing stages.

Meanwhile, a return on investment (ROI) of 9% is strong, especially for a service laying at odds-on. 

That shows this isn’t just a case of chipping away slowly—it has real potential to build a bank over time.

Speaking of which, the 113% bank growth is one of the standout figures from the trial. More than doubling your bank in six months is a great result, particularly if you were following level stakes and keeping your risk profile lower.

These figures suggest that Back of the Net doesn’t rely solely on its Fibonacci-style staking plan to generate profit—the selections themselves are solid, with the stats to back them up. That’s a big tick in the box for the underlying quality of the service.

The results using the adjusted Fibonacci staking were also very good, with a profit of 45 points made for our trial. 

All in all, the final results point to a well-performing system that offers both profitability and manageable risk, particularly when using the more conservative level staking approach.

Odds Availability

One of the key points we monitored during the trial was odds availability. As these are in-play alerts, getting matched at the advised prices can sometimes be tricky, especially in lower-liquidity markets.

We found that in most cases, the actual odds available on Betfair were a few ticks higher than the official advised prices—nothing too dramatic, but still something to be aware of.

Importantly, the service does exclude any wins from their official results if a goal is scored within five minutes of the alert being sent, which is a fair and transparent policy.

It also gives you a bit of leeway if you want to wait for slightly better odds before placing your lay bet.

For matches not available on Betfair, the alternative is to back both teams to win at the bookies, effectively creating a lay-the-draw position.

However, we found that in these cases, the effective odds were sometimes less favourable, so it’s generally better to stick to Betfair where possible and to avoid these games in general.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out via e-mail and can come at any time as they are in-play in matches around the globe. This means that inevitably you won’t be able to follow every selection but it’s okay if you miss a few – there are plenty more and results should average out over time. 

Availability of prices: As discussed above, price availability was an issue during the trial. Generally we were getting a few ticks worse than the official results on average. Over the course of hundreds of selections this will dent your returns, so we would say be prepared to take perhaps a third to a half less profit overall than the official results. That still leaves very healthy profits, however, given that 34 points profit was made during our trial. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was good at 41%, which kept things ticking along nicely and meant a strong profit was made at the odds tipped at.  

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point bank is recommended if you are using the adjusted Fibonacci, which seems reasonable to us. For level stakes we used a 30 point bank which given the average stake of 0.6 points and the solid strike rate of 41%, was more than sufficient during our trial. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £19.87 for the first month then £29.87 per month thereafter. 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Overall, Back of the Net has proven itself to be a reliable and well-thought-out football laying service. It combines smart use of in-play data, automated alerts, and a decent strike rate to produce consistent profits.

The results over our six-month trial were impressive, with 34 points profit made using level staking and over 100% bank growth. Using their adjusted Fibonacci staking system, the service also made 45 points profit our trial. 

The only real downside is the occasional issue with odds availability, particularly on more obscure matches. It was tough to match the official results as the odds were typically a few ticks worse than they record in their results, so in reality you would have to expect to make a little less profit than the official results.

Given the excellent profits made though, this gives quite a bit of leeway to still make a decent return following the service. 

If you’re looking for a simple, well-run lay-the-draw system with a good track record, Back of the Net is definitely worth checking out.

Back of the Net – Results Update

4th March 2025

It’s been a good month for football laying service Back of the Net, with a profit of 4 points made to advised staking since our last update.

That means they are now 14 points up for our trial overall using advised staking (which is a form of adjusted Fibonacci – i.e. betting 1pt, 1.5pt, 2pt, 2.5pt, 3pt, 4pt, 5pt, 6.5pt etc until you hit a winner and then starting again).  

You can view full results here.

To one point level stakes (i.e. laying each selection to win one point), they have made a profit of 3 points since our last update, meaning they are now 15 points up for our trial to date at 1 point level stakes. 

So it looks like level stakes are a more favourable option here for following these picks, both from a profitability/ROI standpoint and from a simplicity/risk perspective.

Just a reminder, this is a service that sends out automated alerts via e-mail for lay the draw bets in-play late on in football matches.

In previous updates we have mentioned our concerns about price availability and we have been tracking the prices we have been able to achieve in the second tab of our results spreadsheet.

One thing that we do note is that for the picks that are not available on Betfair, the effective odds available at the bookies (i.e. by backing both teams to win) do not appear to offer value as the effective odds are significantly higher for those selections. 

For those matches that are available on Betfair, we are still recording higher odds than the official ones, but given the overall profits achieved the service should still be worth following – it’s just that the profit would be somewhat lower than the official results.

Back of the Net – Results Update

30th January 2025

There has been a slight drop for football laying service Back of the Net over the last month, with a loss of 5 points made to advised staking since our last update.

That means they are now 10 points up for our trial overall using advised staking (which is a form of adjusted Fibonacci – i.e. betting 1pt, 1.5pt, 2pt, 2.5pt, 3pt, 4pt, 5pt, 6.5pt etc until you hit a winner and then starting again).  

You can view full results here.

To one point level stakes (i.e. laying each selection to win one point), there was no change to the net P/L since our last update, meaning they are still 12 points up for our trial to date at 1 point level stakes. 

Just a reminder, this is a service that sends out automated alerts via e-mail for lay the draw bets in-play late on in football matches.

In previous updates we have mentioned our concerns about price availability and we have been tracking the prices we have been able to achieve in the second tab of our results spreadsheet. 

So far these show we have been getting an average of 0.09 ticks worse than the official results. However, we do need more data on this before drawing any conclusions so will continue tracking available odds going forward.

Back of the Net – Results Update

30th December 2024

A slight step backwards lately for football laying service Back of the Net, with a loss of 2 points made to advised staking since our last update.

That means they are now 15 points up for our trial overall using advised staking (which is a form of adjusted Fibonacci – i.e. betting 1pt, 1.5pt, 2pt, 2.5pt, 3pt, 4pt, 5pt, 6.5pt etc until you hit a winner and then starting again).  

You can view full results here.

To one point level stakes (i.e. laying each selection to win one point), they have made 1 point profit since our last update and are 12 points up for our trial to date. 

Just a reminder, this is a service that sends out automated alerts via e-mail for lay the draw bets in-play late on in football matches.

In our last update we noted some issues with odds availability, with some of the draw odds being considerably higher on Betfair than the advised odds contained in the e-mails from Back of the Net. 

It is worth noting that in their official results, they do record the lay odds as around 10 ticks higher than contained in their e-mail, which seems reasonable. 

We have started tracking the available odds in games where we are able to (which you can see in the second tab of our results spreadsheet) and sometimes they are more than 10 ticks higher than the e-mail and a few ticks higher than the official results.

However, generally it only seems to be a few ticks higher than the official results so in the main it shouldn’t make too much difference to your overall results. It is something we will aim to keep tracking in any event.   

It is also worth noting that in their official results they exclude any wins where a goal was scored within 5 minutes of the alert being sent out, which is pretty fair of them and means you could wait a few minutes for the odds to tick down a bit before taking the lay bet. 

Generally odds availability seems to be more of an issue in low-liquidity matches than in the big games, which is understandable really given lots of people are queuing up to place lay bets on the draw.

In any event, as we say we don’t think the odds availability is a huge issue but just something to keep an eye on moving forward.

Back of the Net – Results Update

19th November 2024

It’s been a good start to our trial of football laying service Back of the Net, with a profit of 17 points made so far to advised staking (which is a form of adjusted Fibonacci – i.e. betting 1pt, 1.5pt, 2pt, 2.5pt, 3pt, 4pt, 5pt, 6.5pt etc until you hit a winner and then starting again). 

You can view full results here.

To one point level stakes (i.e. laying each selection to win one point), they are 11 points up so far. 

Just a reminder, this is a service that sends out automated alerts via e-mail for lay the draw bets in-play late on in football matches.

We have noted some issues with odds availability so far, with some of the draw odds being considerably higher on Betfair than the advised odds contained in the e-mails from Back of the Net. 

This may be due to weight of money from subscribers to Back of the Net all entering the market at the same time and pushing the odds out – particularly on some very illiquid markets that the bets are sometimes in. 

In any event, even allowing for this the results have been so good you would still be well up so far.  

Also just to note that most of the selections are to be laid on Betfair but there is the occasional one that isn’t available on the exchanges. In such cases you can just use the bookies and back the home and away teams to win.

Back of the Net – New Review

15th October 2024

We are starting a new review today of a football betting service called Back of the Net (or Back of the Net Profit Bundle to give it its full title).

This is a service from Andrew David who regularly readers may know from Little Acorns fame.

Little Acorns is a horse racing betting system that Andrew developed over 10 years ago and has won multiple awards over the years, including our very own Best Horse Racing service a few times.

So Andrew knows what he is doing and we are always keen to hear about anything new he is developing.

Well his latest offering, Back of the Net, uses in-play data and statistics to identify lay the draw opportunities late in football matches.

The system uses filters that consider multiple factors, indicating when a goal is likely.

When it finds an opportunity for the deadlock to be broken in a game, subscribers receive an alert by e-mail.

The alerts come with clear step-by-step instructions, making it easy to follow, even for beginners in lay the draw betting.

Typically, the lay prices of the selected bets range from 1.40 to 1.70, meaning liabilities are low.

Since launching in May 2023, the reported results for Back of the Net are impressive, with over 70 points profit made using a modified form of Fibonacci staking.

Fibonacci staking, in case you are not aware, is where you bet 1 point, then 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 points and so on until you either hit a winner or keep losing until the sequence is completed. Either way you go back to the beginning.

They use a slightly modified form of the sequence, but the process is the same.

For someone staking £25 per point using their Fibonacci staking, that equates to over £1,750 in profit.

The strike rate has also been strong, standing at a notable 41% so far.

Crunching the numbers from their results spreadsheet, our calculations are that the selections would have produced around 50 points profit at level stakes aswell, which is very good indeed. 

So for those who find Fibonacci staking a little hair-raising, it looks like level stakes have also worked well.  

All in all then this looks like a very promising service and we are eager to put it through its paces under a live trial. 

We have been receiving alerts for around a week now so will record results from when we started receiving alerts and will update things here as we go along. 

In the meantime you can check out Back of the Net for yourself here.

 

 

Corner Betting King – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Please note this service has been discontinued. We will therefore end our review here after what has been a disappointing review considering the results coming into our trial. 

It just shows once again how hard it is to make a profit in this game over the long-term and that only a very few elite experts manage it. 

So we will consign this one to the failed pile unfortunately and move on to the next review.

Corner Betting King – Results Update

8th May 2024

It’s been a good start to our trial of football tipster the Corner Betting King, with a profit of 14 points made for our trial to date.

As the name suggests, this service provides tips on the corner markets – specifically, Half-Time corners. 

Unfortunately these markets are only available on Bet365 (or Mars Bet, if that is available to you).

They say you can try the “build a bet” function at other bookmakers but we have not been able to find a bookie who does this (please let us know if you have).  

So it rather limits the scope of this service, which otherwise looks quite promising.

Corner Betting King – New Review

19th February 2024

We are starting a new trial today of a football betting service called the Corner Betting King.

This is based out of the Betting Gods stable of tipsters and as you have probably guessed from the name, focuses solely on corner markets in football matches.

In fact, his focus is even more specialised than that – his bets are solely on the numbers of corners in the first half of matches.

So the markets used are typically Under 4.5 HT Corners or Under 5.5 HT Corners.

Now regular followers will know we are keen on services that focus on a particular niche. Beating the bookies is very tough if you spread yourself too thin across a range of different markets, but focusing on one or two markets and becoming an expert in them can pay dividends. 

The results so far look very promising, with 184 points profit made so far since starting up in July 2022. 

Most of the staking is 2 points per bet, so that would be more like around 90-100 points on 1 point level stakes. Still an excellent total to have achieved in football betting. 

The return on investment (ROI) sits at just above 10%, which is also very impressive for a football service, where anything above 5% we normally consider to be a good ROI. 

The strike rate (or win rate) is a little over 50% which is very solid and there have been a very high proportion of winning months so far, with 18 out of 20 months having been profitable. 

This month is already £380 up to £25 per point stakes. 

So it all looks very promising as we say and let’s see if this specialist corner betting service can deliver the goods under live trial conditions. 

We will kick the trial off from when we started receiving tips (13th February) and will update things here as we go along as usual. 

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

Soccer Bank Builder – Full Review

 

We have completed our seven‐month live trial of Soccer Bank Builder, a football betting service that aims to grow your bank steadily using a simple one-bet-a-day strategy.

It focuses on high strike-rate, low odds selections typically priced between 1.15 and 1.40. The service covers a range of markets including match odds, over/under goals, double chance and more. 

They recommend an approach of staking 10% of the bank on each selection.

We tracked results for both this staking approach and one point level stakes. The results recorded above are for one point level staking. 

The 10% staking is an aggressive approach and one we were cautious about from the start. While it can grow a bank rapidly during a winning streak, it also magnifies losses during a downturn – and that volatility certainly played out during our trial.

Performance Summary

In terms of strike rate, the service did exactly what it set out to do – maintaining a very healthy 75% win rate during our trial.

However, despite this, the service ended 3 points down overall at level stakes and recorded a 15% loss in bank using the advised 10% staking.

There were several swings throughout the trial, with the 10% staking approach showing impressive growth at times (up as much as 29 points at one stage), but ultimately a run of losers hit hard, and the bank steadily declined in the final few months.

This confirmed what we suspected going in – while high strike rate systems using percentage staking can be appealing, they’re very sensitive to short losing runs, especially with something as aggressive as 10% stakes.

The recalculation of stakes after every bet meant that even a small dip could lead to disproportionately larger losses, which is exactly what we saw during the trial. 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out via e-mail, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon on the day of matches. 

On the plus side, the service is very easy to follow, with just one bet a day and no confusing write-ups or complex analysis.

It’s also time-friendly – ideal for those who don’t want to be glued to their phone or computer waiting for multiple bets.

Availability of prices: Price availability was not an issue during our trial as the markets tipped in are very liquid and it would take a huge amount of money to shift markets when you backing big favourites at odds of around 1.2-1.4 in football matches. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was good on the face of it at 75% but would have needed to be a little higher to generate a profit at the odds tipped at. 

Advised Betting Bank: As discussed above, a 10% staking approach is recommended for following the service, which we consider a little too aggressive and did result in some sustained losses.

Utilising a one-point level stakes approach, we used a 20 point bank which seemed more sensible to us. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are a free 7 day trial followed by a subscription of £19.99 per month. 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Overall then, Soccer Bank Builder proved to be a solid but ultimately underwhelming performer during our trial.

The high strike rate is commendable and the simplicity of the service is certainly attractive, but it made a loss at both level stakes and 10% staking, with the latter performing notably worse during our trial. 

We’re awarding Soccer Bank Builder a NEUTRAL rating for now. With some tweaks – such as lowering the stake to 5% or switching to level staking – this could be a service worth revisiting in the future. But as things stand, it simply did not perform well enough in our trial to warrant a higher rating.

Soccer Bank Builder – Results Update

8th February 2025

Just a slight decline for football betting service Soccer Bank Builder over the last month, with a loss of 0.66 points made to 1-point level stakes since our last update. 

That means they are now 0.13 points up for our trial overall at 1-point level stakes.

You can view full results here.

Starting with a 100 point bank and staking 10% of the bank on each bet, they have made a loss of 11 points since our last update and are 19 points down for our trial to date. 

As mentioned in previous updates, this shows again the greater volatility you get with a percentage staking approach versus level stakes.  

It’s great when it’s going well but the dips will be greater when things turn against you.

Soccer Bank Builder – Results Update

4th January 2025

There’s been a small drop for football betting service Soccer Bank Builder lately, with a loss of 2.38 points made to 1-point level stakes since our last update. 

That means they are now 0.79 points up for our trial overall at 1-point level stakes.

You can view full results here.

Staking 10% of the bank on each bet, they have made a loss of 29 points since our last update and are 8 points down for our trial to date. 

So this illustrates once again what we have been talking about in previous updates in terms of a run of losers hitting the 10% staking approach more than level stakes.

Whilst level stakes has made just a small loss since our last update, the 10% staking has suffered a significant hit. 

That’s the risk you take with it – when things are going well it can really snowball but a few losers can hit the bank quite hard.

Soccer Bank Builder – Results Update

25th November 2024

Very little change for football betting service Soccer Bank Builder, with a loss of 0.09 points made to 1-point level stakes since our last update. 

That means they are now 3.17 points up for our trial overall at 1-point level stakes.

You can view full results here.

Staking 10% of the bank on each bet, they have made a loss of 7 points since our last update and are 21 points up for our trial to date. 

So this illustrates what we were talking about last time in terms of a run of losers hitting the 10% staking approach more than level stakes.

Whilst level stakes has more or less broken even over the last month, the 10% staking has suffered a bit of a hit. 

That’s the risk you take with it – when things are going well it can really snowball but a few losers can hit the bank quite hard.

Soccer Bank Builder – Results Update

21st October 2024

It’s been a good time lately for football betting service Soccer Bank Builder, with a profit of 2.75 points made to 1-point level stakes since our last update. 

That means they are now 3.26 points up for our trial overall at 1-point level stakes.

You can view full results here.

Staking 10% of the bank on each bet, they have made 28 points profit since our last update and are 29 points up for our trial to date. 

So you can really see the difference now in the 10% staking approach versus level stakes. When you get on a run of winners like they have done lately then the bank can really grow quickly with the 10% staking approach. 

Obviously on the downside a run of losers can hit the bank hard but for the moment the 10% staking approach is working well. 

 

 

 

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Soccer Bank Builder – Results Update

18th September 2024

It’s been a pretty level start to our trial of football betting service Soccer Bank Builder, with a profit of 0.51 points made so far to 1-point level stakes after one month.

You can view full results here.

Using 10% of the bank on each bet, they are 0.77 points up so far. 

This is a service that provides just one bet per day and at odds-on, normally around the 1.15-1.40 mark. 

So a quiet start so far but no damage done to the bank so let’s see if they can get things moving forward over the next month.

Soccer Bank Builder – New Review

16th August 2024

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. 

In the meantime you can check out Soccer Bank Builder for yourself here.

Hanbury Racing Tips – Full Review

 

Hanbury Racing Tips is a horse racing tipping service providing selections – often at high odds – for UK and Irish racing.

The selections for Hanbury Racing Tips are provided by a chap called Richard Hutchinson who won the Tote Ten To Follow Jumps competition in 2020. In doing so he captured the £10,000 March monthly prize and also the £177,000 first prize, so in total over £188,000 for his syndicate.

We followed his tips for an extended seven month trial, in which time we proofed over 450 bets.

And after that extended trial we are pleased to report that the results were excellent, with a total profit of 238 points made at advised prices.

That was achieved with an excellent return on investment (ROI) of 27% and a solid strike rate of 21% (including placed horses).

Richard has a penchant for high odds selections and there were a number of 100/1 shots picked and a lot at 66/1 and other big prices too.

Amazingly, one of the 100/1 shots actually won during our trial and a 150/1 came second towards the end of our trial – but tipped each way it still returned a healthy 29 points profit.

So in terms of the results at advised prices, this was one of the best horse racing trials we have run for a while.

One thing to be aware of though is that there was a wide discrepancy between the results at advised prices and those at Betfair SP, with the latter actually making an 89 point loss for our trial.

That difference was down in large part to one tip – Danilo D’Airy – which won at advised odds of 100/1. With a small rule 4 deduction included, it returned 106 points at advised prices from a one point each-way bet.

However, at Betfair SP it went off at just 12.53, returning just under 14 points profit, so a massive difference there.

Excluding this rather exceptional selection from the results though, you would still get results of 132 points profit at advised prices versus a 103 point loss at BSP.

So whichever way you slice it this doesn’t look like a service you can follow at Betfair SP and is one you would need bookie accounts for.

If you do have bookie accounts though it has been an excellent trial as we say and well worthy of a PASSED rating.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The tips are sent by e-mail, normally the evening before racing with a few early in the morning on the day of racing. With around 2-3 bets per day on average it’s not too onerous to follow.

Availability of prices: As Richard tips at very big odds the prices tend to be pretty sensitive so it is advisable to get your bets on as soon as possible. Quite often the big prices get smashed in by the time of the race. And as mentioned above, it does not look like the service is practical to follow at Betfair SP so you will need access to bookie accounts to make it practical to follow the service.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 21%, which is pretty good when you consider the odds tipped at.

Advised Betting Bank: A 210 point betting bank was advised for following the service and that seems about right to us.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £4.99 for the first 14 days then £36.99 per month.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Hanbury Racing Tips is a horse racing service that provides tips at high odds on UK and Irish racing. They came into our trial with a strong reputation and for once we can say they fully lived up to it, amassing a superb 238 points profit at advised prices. The ROI was also excellent at 27%.

The only thing to note is that it doesn’t look like the service is practical to follow at Betfair SP, as they actually made a loss at BSP for our trial.

Please note they are offering a 25% discount on subscriptions for Honest Betting Reviews visitors – please use the code honest25 at checkout.

As mentioned in previous updates it’s not quite such a bright picture at Betfair SP though, with a profit of 17 points made since our last update but 81 points lost for our trial overall at BSP. 

There have been excellent winners over the last month at prices of 25/1, 16/1, 14/1 and 33/1, as well as lot of big-priced place finishes. 

Top stuff and well done to Richard who runs the service.

Hanbury Racing Tips – Results Update

25th August 2021

Yet more profit for Hanbury Racing Tips this month with another 12 points profit made at advised prices since our last update. 

That means they are now an impressive 136 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.

You can view full results here.

As mentioned in previous updates it’s a very different picture at Betfair SP though, with a loss of 48 points made since our last update and 98 points lost for our trial overall at BSP. 

Even taking into account the one selection that was tipped at 100/1 but went off at 12.53 BSP, that is still one of the biggest differences we have seen between advised prices and BSP in one of our trials. 

That may be down in part to them tipping the evening before racing and looking for value at big prices which then get punted in by the off. 

Whatever the reason though this is definitely looking like a service you need bookie accounts to follow.

Hanbury Racing Tips – Results Update

23rd July 2021

As mentioned in previous updates it’s a very different picture however at Betfair SP, with 21 points profit made since our last update but 50 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.

In fact we can’t remember seeing such a big discrepancy between results at advised prices and those at Betfair SP before, although as mentioned last time a large part of this is due to one winner which was advised at 100/1 but went off a BSP of just 12.53.

Anyway, just to mention as well that Hanbury Racing won our tipster of the month award last month, belatedly added after they were mistakenly overlooked in our original post. So congrats to them on the win.

Hanbury Racing Tips – New Review

17th April 2021

Today we are starting a new review of a horse racing service called Hanbury Racing Tips. 

This comes from a new tipster platform called Mega Tipsters. 

The selections for Hanbury Racing Tips come from a chap called Richard Hutchinson who won the Tote Ten To Follow Jumps competition in 2020. In doing so he captured the £10,000 March monthly prize and also the £177,000 first prize, so in total over £188,000 for his syndicate.

In addition, Richard finished 9th in 2009 and had a runner in the Grand National. With these kind of results, it was only natural for him to turn his attention to running a professional tipping service, and that is what he has done at Mega Tipsters.

Richard has been following racing for over 30 years and studies form the closely, watching a huge amount of racing to aid his selection process. He specialises in both grade 1 horses and well-handicapped types. Either way Richard spends many hours studying the form before sending out his tips.  

The results since Richard starting tipping in May 2020 look very impressive, with a profit of over 660 points made at a superb ROI of 39.5%. 

That works out at over £16,000 profit at £25 per point stakes and over £1500 per month profit. 

The focus at Hanbury Racing is on long-shot selections, with massive winners at prices of 66/1, 50/1, 33/1, 28/1, 22/1 having been achieved to date. And amazingly they just hit a 150/1 winner a couple of weeks ago!

Whilst that has provided exceptional returns – and plenty of excitement – to date, it also means a substantial betting bank is needed and a 225 point bank is recommended. 

Overall then this looks like a very promising service and we are looking forward to seeing how it gets on. We started receiving tips on 13th April so will record selections from then. As usual we will update things as we along here.

In the meantime you can check out Hanbury Racing Tips for yourself here. 

 

 

 

Renegade Racing – New Review

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We are starting a new review today of a service called Renegade Racing.

This is a horse racing tipster from the Betting Gods stable of tipsters and although it has only been going a short time, has caused quite a stir in the tipping community.

The results since starting up in November last year have been stellar, with a profit of 54 points made to date.

That has been achieved with exceptional stats of a 36% ROI and 62% strike rate. 

Those metrics are pretty outstanding and will be hard to maintain in the long run – although anything even vaguely close to those will still be very impressive. 

Follow the service at Betfair SP and you would have boosted the profits by a further 55% so far. We are interested to see if that continues during our trial. 

The service has been on red hot form since launch, with 26 of the last 35 bets having won. 

We haven’t seen a tipster start off this well for quite some time. 

However, it’s important not to get too carried away with these promising early results and to see how the service performs over the next few months under live trial conditions. 

So we will get things underway today and will include results from 14th February when we started receiving tips.

We will update things here as we go along as usual. 

In the meantime you can check out Renegade Racing for yourself here.

Golf Betting Club – Full Review

 

The Golf Betting Club is a well-established golf tipping service, having been in operation since 2020.

This service is run by Duncan and Neil, two brothers from Scotland. They developed a keen interest in golf betting during their upbringing, influenced by their father’s career as a golf journalist for well-known UK newspapers.

Tips are sent out via Telegram and cover the PGA, DP World and LIV tours and include both pre-tournament and in-play tips (between rounds). 

Over the years, they have built a strong reputation for their in-depth player profiling and detailed tournament analysis.

Prior to our trial, their historical results were impressive, with profits totaling 779 points and an ROI of 16%.

However, our nine-month review painted a more mixed picture.

Performance During the Trial

The trial got off to a rough start, with significant losses accumulating early on. At one point, they were down by 196 points, making it a tough period for subscribers.

Golf betting, by its nature, can involve long losing streaks, particularly when betting at high odds, and this was certainly the case here.

Things did improve towards the end of the trial, with a couple of big-priced winners such as Paul Waring at 50/1 and Nick Taylor at 100/1 helping to claw back some of the losses.

Despite this late rally, the service still ended the trial 17 points down overall.

However, they had numerous heartbreaking near-misses, including two in just the last couple of weeks. Pablo Larrazabal only needed to two-putt the final green to win the Bahrain Championship for them at 200/1, but managed to three-putt and then lost in a playoff. 

And just this past weekend, Aldrich Potgieter looked a dead-cert winner at 60/1 in the Mexico Open whilst in a playoff, as his opponent’s ball looked to be sailing well out of bounds, which would have handed Potgieter victory. However, the ball somehow miraculously ricocheted back into play and the opponent produced a career-defining birdie to win.

There were numerous close shaves like this throughout the trial and whilst you can’t expect all of them to go your way, if just one of them had done so it would have ended in a profitable trial – well in profit in fact given the prices tipped at.  

And if two or three of them had done so we could easily be looking at a very profitable trial. 

As it is they have finished with a small loss of 17 points, but out of a 500-point bank that represents just a 3% loss of the bank nothing to get too downhearted about. 

Overall we think the only fair rating here can be a NEUTRAL rating, but it could have so easily been a very profitable trial so we will keep an eye on the service going forward as we do think the brothers have an edge on the golf markets given their long-term results and they could be due an upgrade in future if the luck starts to go their way a bit. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out via the Telegram messenger app, usually on a Wednesday for pre-tournament bets and then on an ad-hoc basis during rounds. There are around 12 bets per week, so a reasonable, but manageable, workload. 

Availability of prices: Price availability was not an issue during our trial as they generally tip on Wednesdays when there is plenty of liquidity and the markets have settled (and then during the event when there is also usually plenty of liquidity).

As with most golf services, there is also the option to beat the win part of each-way bets by using the exchanges, with Betfair often offering much higher prices for the win on 100/1+ shots. You generally get a little worse odds on the place part, but that is more than compensated by the occasional winner at huge odds. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was quite low on the face of it at 11% (including placed golfers), but that isn’t unusual for golf services and as we discussed above, just one or two breaks going their way and they would have finished well in profit even with an 11% strike rate.

Advised Betting Bank: A 500 point betting bank is recommended for following the service. That seems very reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during our trial. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are free until the 30th March 2025.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

The Golf Betting Club had somewhat of a tough trial, but the fine margins of golf betting were evident, with several close calls that could have significantly changed the results.

While they finished slightly down with a 17 point loss, the overall deficit was minor in the context of their betting bank.

Given their strong long-term record and in-depth analysis, they remain a service to keep an eye on, and with a bit more luck, could easily return to profitability in future.

Golf Betting Club – Results Update

21st January 2025

Golf tipster the Golf Betting Club has continued their good run of form lately, with a profit of 27 points made since our last update.

However, they are still 73 points down for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here.

We’d been saying for a while that just landing one big winner could turn things around and they have now done it not just once but twice, with Nick Taylor winning the Sony Open in a playoff for them at 100/1, following on from 50/1 winner Paul Waring in November.

The profits from that 100/1 winner have been somewhat eroded by other losses on the month, but they are still making steady progress on reducing the large deficit they racked up earlier on in our trial. 

Just to also note that given last year’s losses they are currently offering free membership until 30th March 2025.

Golf Betting Club – Results Update

18th December 2024

It’s been a much better time for golf tipster the Golf Betting Club lately, with a profit of 95 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 100 points down for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here.

Recent highlights include Paul Waring winning the Abu Dhabi Championship at 50/1 and Ryan Van Velzen placing at the Alfred Dunhill Championship at 350/1. 

However, things could have been so much better with Van Velzen needing a birdie up the par-5 last to win, or a par for a playoff but managing to finish with a bogey. 

The week before they also had Aldrich Potgieter at 100/1 who had a three shot lead on the back nine but somehow failed to win. 

It’s often fine margins in sports betting but it’s particularly jarring in instances like this when you’re backing 350/1 and 100/1 shots who just miss out. They can really make or break a year’s betting.

There isn’t much to say really other than that they could really do with a big winner or two…

That’s golf betting though in a nutshell – the losing streaks can be pretty savage, especially when tipping at average odds of over 100/1 as these guys do. 

It can all turn around quickly though with a big winner so fingers crossed they can land one (or two) soon.

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.

Golf Betting Club – New Review

14th May 2024

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.

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

N.B. – sign up to a 6 or 12 month membership of Golf Betting Club quoting ‘HonestBettingReviews25’ and they’ll refund £25 as a discount.

Insider Edge Bets – Full Review

 

We have come to the end of our four-month trial of Insider Edge Bets and it’s time to wrap up with our final thoughts.

This service covers both horse racing and greyhounds, with bets sent out via Telegram, typically around 4 selections per day.

It claims to be based on “insider” information from a network of industry contacts, including trainers and owners.

While we’re often sceptical about such claims, this time we may have found a rare case where it’s actually worth taking seriously.

So how did it get on during our live trial?

Results

Over the course of the trial, the service delivered some very strong results.

A total profit of +148 points was made at advised prices, representing a bank growth of 99% and an ROI (return on investment) of 26%.

The strike rate came in at 33% (including places selections), which is perfectly respectable given the kind of prices they’re tipping at – often in the 3/1 to 6/1 range and higher.

These are very impressive figures as we say. Nearly doubling the bank in just four months is no mean feat and puts this service firmly in the “serious profit-maker” category.

However, there are a few important things to break down in the results.

Greyhounds vs Horse Racing

Perhaps the most striking aspect of this trial was where the profits came from:

  • Greyhounds: +139 points
  • Horse Racing: +9 points

So, while the service covers both sports, it’s fair to say that the greyhound tips have done the heavy lifting.

Now, this brings us to one of the main caveats with Insider Edge Bets…

The Price Crash Problem

The prices on the greyhound tips get smashed in very quickly. We’re talking some of the fastest price moves we’ve seen in a trial here at HBR.

A dog tipped at 9/2 can be cut to 9/4 in a matter of minutes after the tip is released. That means you need to:

  • Have a spread of active bookmaker accounts (Bet365, Skybet, Ladbrokes, Coral etc are key).
  • Be fast – have the greyhound markets open and ready before tips are posted.
  • Ideally be set up to act the moment the alert comes through.

They do provide a short warning before a tip is released, which is helpful, but if you’re slow or only using Betfair SP (BSP), your results could be very different.

There is also the risk of bookie account restrictions or closures with tips such as these that are heavily backed – particularly the greyhound tips. 

Betfair SP Results

We tracked BSP alongside advised prices during the trial. Here’s how that looked:

  • Greyhounds BSP: +11 points
  • Horses BSP: -7 points

So, while BSP has been profitable on greyhounds, it’s only a fraction of the advised price profit.

It’s a possible fallback if you don’t want to use bookies, but clearly not ideal.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Insider Edge Bets delivers selections via a private Telegram channel, at various times during the day. The tips are easy to follow and clearly laid out with the selection, odds, bookmaker, and stake.

There’s usually a short alert a few minutes before tips are posted, which gives you time to log in to your bookie accounts and get prepared.

That said, you do need to be available at the time tips are released and act quickly, particularly for greyhounds, as prices move extremely fast. If you’re someone who can’t be at your phone or computer at those times, you may struggle to match the advised prices consistently.

Availability of prices: This is probably the biggest challenge with the service. As mentioned in the main review, the greyhound prices get hammered within minutes of being released – in some cases slashed by as much as 50%.

If you’re not lightning-quick or if you only have access to one or two bookie accounts, it’s unlikely you’ll consistently get the advertised odds. Over time, this could result in a significant drop in your profits compared to the official results. 

That said, some members have reported still doing well even when getting a few ticks worse, and the BSP results for greyhounds did show a modest profit.

But to match the headline results, quick reactions and multiple bookmaker accounts are essential. The other issue you may face is having your bookie accounts restricted or closed if you are following these tips for an extended period of time.  

Strike rate: The strike rate during our trial was 33%, which is quite solid considering the prices tipped are often in the 3/1 to 6/1 range and beyond.

It helped keep drawdowns fairly manageable and ensured a good rhythm of regular winners. It’s not a high strike-rate service, so there will be losing runs, but the average odds mean the profits soon catch up.

Advised Betting Bank: No official bank size is advised by the service, so for the purposes of our trial we used a 150-point bank, which we feel is reasonable given the volume of bets and the range of odds.

The maximum drawdown during our trial was around 24 points, so a 150-point bank would have provided ample cover for variance while allowing for healthy compounding as profits grew.

Subscription costs: The service offers a free 3-day trial, after which it’s £25 per month. There are also options to sign up for £50 for 3 months or £250 for lifetime.

Given the results achieved during our trial – and even allowing for some reduction in returns due to price movement – this represents good value for money. Just bear in mind you’ll need to be actively engaged and ready to bet quickly to get the most from your subscription.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

There’s no question this is a high-quality service with serious profit potential – particularly on the greyhound side.

If you can get the advised prices, this is one of the most lucrative tipsters we’ve trialled in recent times. The ROI of 26% and bank growth of 99% speak for themselves.

However, it does come with a warning: to follow the service successfully, you’ll need fast fingers, unrestricted bookie accounts, and preferably access to multiple firms. And there is always the risk of bookie account closures or restrictions when following heavily-backed tips like these. 

As long as you aware of those things going in and can handle them though, Insider Edge Bets is a service well worth adding to your portfolio.

Insider Edge Bets – Results Update

Yet more strong progress (at advised prices at least) for horse racing & greyhound service Insider Edge Bets, with a profit of 29 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 148 points up at advised prices for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here. 

As mentioned in previous updates, it’s important to break down the results here as there are some key points to note.

Firstly, the discrepancy between the horse racing and greyhound results at advised prices continues, with the net P/L for both for our trial so far being: 

  • Horse racing: +9 points
  • Greyhounds: +139 points

(You can see the results broken down by sport in the tabs at the bottom of our results spreadsheet). 

So as you can see, virtually all the profit for our trial to date has come from the greyhounds.

And as mentioned last time, the prices on the greyhounds do get hit very hard. 

The Betfair SP results for the two sports for our trial to date are:

  • Horses: -7 points
  • Greyhounds: +11 points

So the jury is still out on whether it is viable to follow the greyhound selections at Betfair SP, but what is clear is that there is a big advantage to being able to use bookie accounts – presuming you can get the prices of course. 

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Insider Edge Bets – Results Update

10th January 2025

Things continue to move along nicely (at advised prices at least) for horse racing & greyhound service Insider Edge Bets, with a profit of 58 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 119 points up at advised prices for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here. 

As mentioned last time, there’s a lot to unpick with this service. 

Firstly, there has been a big discrepancy thus far between the horse racing and greyhound results at advised prices:

  • Horse racing: +3 points
  • Greyhounds: +115 points

(You can see the results broken down by sport in the tabs at the bottom of our results spreadsheet). 

So as you can see, virtually all the profit for our trial to date has come from the greyhounds.

And as mentioned last time, the prices on the greyhounds get absolutely pulverised. 

The Betfair SP results for the two sports for our trial to date are:

  • Horses: -5 points
  • Greyhounds: +18 points

So on the one hand that illustrates how severely prices get hammered, but on the other hand indicates there might be some scope to follow the greyhound selections at Betfair.

We stress “might” because +18 points isn’t conclusive so far, but is something to be monitored in any event.

As to following the tips at the bookies, whilst the headline results are very good it does come with a health warning that you would be at risk of bookie restrictions if following these tips, particularly the greyhound ones. 

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Insider Edge Bets – Results Update

4th December 2024

It’s been a good start to our trial of horse racing & greyhound service Insider Edge Bets, with a profit of 61 points made for our trial so far to advised prices. 

You can view full results here. 

This is a very interesting service and there’s a lot to unpack so we’ll do our best to summarise our findings so far: 

Firstly, there has been a big discrepancy thus far between the horse racing and greyhound results at advised prices:

  • Horse racing: -17 points
  • Greyhounds: +78 points

(You can see the results broken down by sport in the tabs at the bottom of our results spreadsheet). 

So as you can see, all the profit for our trial to date has come from the greyhounds.

Secondly, the prices on the greyhounds get absolutely hammered. And quickly.

These are some of the fastest price cuts we have seen in a review for quite a while. 

It is not unusual to see a dog recommended at 9/2 for example get cut to 9/4, 2/1, even 6/4, within minutes of the tip being posted. 

So to get anywhere near the advised prices, you need a good spread of bookie accounts (e.g. Bet365, Skybet, Ladbrokes/Coral, Wills etc) and you need to work very fast once tips are posted on Telegram.

You really need to have your bookie sites open on the greyhound page and accounts funded ready for the tip to be sent. Fortunately they do post a warning that a tips is coming a few minutes before to give you the chance to prepare.

Thirdly, the Betfair SP results for the greyhound tips – whilst significantly below those at advised prices, have still been profitable so far with 22 points made at BSP for our trial to date.

It will be very interesting to see if they continue to be profitable at BSP because this could be a viable way to follow the service for those without bookie accounts (or those not wanting to risk their bookie accounts being restricted). So watch this space on that one.

Finally of note is that the horse racing results have actually been doing better at Betfair SP than the advised prices in our trial to date, with a loss of 11 points made at BSP versus -17 points at advised prices. 

So again it will be interesting to see if that holds up for the remainder of our trial.

Insider Edge Bets – New Review

16th October 2024

We are starting a new review today of a horse racing and greyhound service called Insider Edge Bets. 

Insider Edge Betting was apparently born from a collective vision among a group of industry professionals, aiming to give bettors a clear edge over bookmakers.

They saw the demand for a trustworthy platform where betting becomes a calculated, strategic pursuit, driven by expert knowledge and thorough analysis.

Leveraging years of experience from both the betting industry and ownership side, they say they’ve developed their expertise and built a vast network of respected contacts, including trainers and owners of horses and greyhounds.

They say these contacts regularly supply them with insider information on key ‘gambles’ in a sport where such opportunities are abundant.

Regular readers will know we are usually sceptical about tipsters claiming to be in receipt of “insider information,” as most of the time the claims are false, or if the tipsters are receiving inside info then that info isn’t very good, as they still make a loss.

However, this might just be one of those occasions when it should be taken seriously. 

We have heard good things about this service from trusted sources and the results to date look very encouraging. 

Since starting up at the beginning of the year, they have made over 360 points profit. 

Every month so far has been profitable and some have seen over 50 points profit made. 

It’s quite unusual to see a service covering both horse racing and greyhounds but they seem to make it work. 

It provides more bet volume of course and perhaps the chance to accumulate more profit than just focusing on one sport. 

In any event, this is certainly one of the more intriguing services we have come across in a while so it will be very interesting to see how it performs under a live trial. 

So we will get things underway and will report back here soon as usual on how they are getting on.

In the meantime you can check out Insider Edge Bets for yourself here.

Lucrative Rackets – Full Review

 

Lucrative Rackets is a tennis betting service launched in early 2024 by the team behind Lucrative MMA Betting, which previously passed a trial here at Honest Betting Reviews with flying colours.

Tips are provided across various tennis tours, including down to the lower levels of Challenger and ITF events.

Most of the bets are in the match odds market but some side markets such as set score, handicap and the like are used. 

Bets are sent via the Telegram messenger app. 

We were hopeful that this service would deliver strong results, and overall, we are pleased to say that it has performed well.

During our four-month trial, Lucrative Rackets generated +17 points profit at a solid 59% strike rate and a 12% ROI.

These are commendable numbers in tennis betting, where achieving consistent profitability can be challenging.

Our Experience During the Trial

Our major concern with this service was price availability however.

Just over half the bets during our trial were in Challenger/ITF events and over half were in doubles matches, with quite a small proportion in singles ATP/WTA events.

There were some major odds movements on these more illiquid markets. For instance, prices could drop significantly within minutes on ITF doubles and Challenger-level matches. 

Betting on these markets also brings the risk of account restrictions from the bookies and these markets are not typically available on the exchanges – or have very little liquidity if they are available. 

So we do have a question mark about how practical this service is to follow. Certainly if you are following the service you need to be lightning fast to get the bets on and be prepared for some possible account restrictions. 

It is also worth noting that on the – albeit limited – sample size of our trial, the profit for the trial did come from the Challenger/ITF events, whilst the ATP/WTA events ended up breaking even. 

As we say, this was a relatively small sample size so may not be the case in the long run, but is something to note from our trial in any event. 

Overall, we are prepared to give Lucrative Rackets a narrow PASSED rating as it did achieve positive results during our trial. 

The strike rate, ROI, and overall bank growth were all commendable and clearly the tipster does  have an edge in the markets tipped in. 

However, this does come with a major health warning that a lot of the markets tipped in are illiquid and odds crash quickly. 

So it is important to bear this in mind and be prepared to act quickly when receiving the tips if you want to get close to the advised prices. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out via the Telegram messenger app. There is normally plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1-2 bets per day on average the workload is pretty manageable. 

Availability of prices: As discussed above, price availability was an issue during our trial, with over half the tips coming in illiquid, lower tier events and doubles matches.

The first thing you will need is a good spread of bookmaker accounts (especially Bet365, but also the likes of Ladbrokes, DraftKings, Neds, Bovada & 10Bet would be useful), secondly to be able to act very quickly once tips are posted on Telegram, and thirdly be prepared that you may suffer account restrictions if using soft books like Bet365.  

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was impressive at 59% and we didn’t experience any extended drawdowns during our trial which was good. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point betting bank is recommended for following the service. That seems fairly reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during our trial. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £67, so this is probably a service for serious bettors in the main. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Lucrative Rackets delivered a solid performance in our trial, generating +17 points profit, a 12% ROI, and a 59% strike rate.

However, the heavy focus on illiquid markets like ITF and Challenger doubles matches makes it tough to obtain advised prices, and account restrictions could be an issue.

While the tipster appears to have an edge, success will largely depend on how quickly you can place bets and whether you have access to the necessary bookmaker accounts.

Overall, we are giving Lucrative Rackets a narrow PASSED rating, but with a strong caution regarding price availability.

Lucrative Rackets – Results Update

23rd December 2024

Tennis tipster Lucrative Rackets has continued their good run, with a profit of 6 points made at advised prices since our last update. 

That means they are now 15 points up for our trial overall at advised prices. 

You can view full results here. 

As mentioned last time, prices tend to get hit pretty hard on the more illiquid markets such as ITF doubles matches. 

You have to move very fast if you want to get anything like the advised prices on those bets. 

Some of the tips are in more mainstream ATP and WTA matches where the odds are more achievable however, so it’s a question of just doing the best you can on each tip with this service really. 

It’s a quiet period for this service at the moment with no bets in December as the tennis season has wound down, but they will be back up and running again in January for the events down under.

We have found issues here with price availability, as some of the bets are on very illiquid markets such as ITF doubles matches. 

The odds on those bets go very quickly and can move in quite significantly. 

For example, a tip given at 1.83 can move into 1.66 in a matter of minutes or a tip given at 1.66 can hit 1.4.

So if following the service you either have to act extremely quickly or accept you may not achieve the advised odds on some of the bets.

Lucrative Rackets – New Review

5th September 2024

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.

In the meantime you can check out Lucrative Rackets for yourself here.

The Bet Professor – Final Review

We have reached the end of our review of horse racing tipster the Bet Professor and here are the final results:

 

Profit/Loss:   +292 points
Strike Rate:   16%  
Bank Growth:   292%
ROI:  11% 
Average number of bets:   1-2 bets per day
Cost:   £10 for first month then £25 per month
VERDICT:   PASSED
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

The Bet Professor – Full Review

 

The Bet Professor is a horse racing tipster that operates under the Punt Hub umbrella, and after an extended review period, it has delivered very impressive results.

With a total profit of +292 points at advised prices, the service has demonstrated strong profitability over the course of our trial.

This equates to an impressive 292% bank growth, meaning that a starting bank would have nearly quadrupled during the trial period.

One of the key metrics we look at is Return on Investment (ROI), and The Bet Professor has managed to maintain a solid 11% ROI, which is a very respectable return for a horse racing service over a period of more than two years.

This suggests that the selections consistently find value, which is a crucial factor for long-term betting success.

Bet Volume and Strike Rate

The service provides a manageable 1-2 bets per day, which makes it easy to follow compared to some tipsters that require placing dozens of bets daily.

The strike rate of 16% is on the lower side, which is typical for a service that focuses on bigger-priced selections. This means there will be losing streaks, so patience and a disciplined staking plan are essential.

Bookmaker vs. Betfair SP Performance

One notable finding from our review is that The Bet Professor performs significantly better at advised prices than at Betfair Starting Price (BSP).

Throughout the trial, we observed a consistent disparity between advised prices and BSP, with the latter lagging well behind.

In fact, Betfair SP followers would have suffered a loss of 66 points, whereas those taking advised prices at bookmakers have enjoyed substantial profits.

This suggests that the service is finding strong closing line value (CLV), meaning odds tend to shorten after selections are tipped, a positive indicator of an edge over the market.

However, it also means that access to multiple bookmaker accounts is necessary to get the best possible returns.

We are also being more mindful these days of price availability and whether those with bookie accounts can achieve the advised prices. 

For the majority of our trial most of the tips were sent out the night before racing, when markets are thin and it can be tough to get bets on.

Over the last few months they have switched to the morning of racing which is a welcome change but it remains to be seen if they can maintain the previous profit levels now they are tipping in the morning. 

Overall we are happy to award the service a PASSED rating as it delivered impressive and consistent results over the course of more than two years. 

However, it does come with the slight caveat that bookie accounts are needed and for most of the trial tips were sent out the night before racing. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out e-mail, as we say on the morning of racing these days. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1-2 bets per day on average the workload is pretty manageable. 

Availability of prices: Price availability was a bit of an issue during most of our trial, as discussed above regarding tips being sent out the evening before racing. Often prices would contract quite considerably by the time of the race. This is less of an issue now that tips are sent in the morning but it remains to be seen if the previous profit levels can be maintained.   

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was a little on the low side at 16% but we didn’t experience any extended drawdowns during our trial which was good. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point betting bank is recommended for following the service. That seems fairly reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during our trial. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £10 for first month then £25 per month or £60 quarter if paying by Paypal or £30 per month if paying by credit card. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Overall, The Bet Professor has produced impressive results and passes our review. The profit of +292 points, combined with strong bank growth and a solid ROI, makes it a very promising tipster service.

The main caveat is that it is not viable at BSP, so bookmaker accounts are required to follow the selections successfully and most of the profits were made from early prices the evening before racing.

So we’ll have to see if the results hold up in the long run now they are taking morning prices, but certainly up to now the results have been impressive overall.

The Betfair SP results continue to trail well behind those at advised prices, with a loss of 34 points made since our last update and 74 points lost for our trial to date at BSP.

So we would not recommend following this tipster at Betfair SP – it is only to follow them at the bookmakers. 

However, the results do indicate they are achieving strong CLV (closing line value) which is a good sign of being able to find value in their selections.

The Bet Professor – New Review

9th August 2022

We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing tipster called The Bet Professor.

Based at the Punt Hub stable of tipsters, they are supposedly “hard at work solving the betting equations and know exactly how to bring you a profit.”

Looking at the results achieved to date, they look pretty good at it too!

Having been tipping for just over nine months now, they have delivered an excellent 288 points profit so far according to the results on the Punt Hub website.

That has been achieved with a return on investment of 22% and a strike rate of a little over 17%.

The Betfair SP profit, whilst not quite as impressive, is still decent at 62 points made so far.

One thing to bear in mind with this service if you are thinking of following it is there quite a lot of tips – often 10-15 per day, so it is more time-consuming to follow than some other tipsters. 

If they can keep producing the same kind of profit it looks like the extra effort could be worth it however. 

We actually started proofing these tips on 21st June so will record results from then. As ever results will be updated here so you can see how they are getting on. 

In the meantime you can check out The Bet Professor for yourself here.

* Just a note that the Punt Hub website is still being redeveloped which is why the info is not all complete on the page.
