Today we are starting a trial of something a little bit different here at Honest Betting Reviews…
Whilst our bread and butter tends to be tipsters in sports like football, horse racing and golf, we do like to venture into other arenas where we see the potential for profit.
And the service we are looking at today is certainly one that ticks that box!
It is called Entertainment Odds and specialises in betting markets on TV events like the Eurovision Song Contest and Strictly Come Dancing as well as awards ceremonies like the Emmys and Oscars.
The site is run by a guy called Rob Furber who is a journalist by trade, writing for some of the UK’s most well-known sites including The Sporting Life, the Daily Telegraph, Britain’s number one women’s magazine, Glamour, and men’s lifestyle magazines Arena and Maxim.
Rob’s keen eye for value in the TV betting markets started in 2005 when he picked Darren Gough to win Strictly at odds of 25/1 and he has never looked back since. He is now a professional trader specialising in TV markets, as well as continuing his journalism work.
If you want to read more about Rob’s remarkable story, he has just published a book about his journey as a pro trader – and another “gamble” he took in his love life – that is well worth a read.
Rob’s record in the arena of entertainment betting is second to none, with a profit of +1,019pts made to 1pt level stakes since 2014.
His particular specialisms are the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) and Strictly Come Dancing, with a very consistent record in both over the years:
As you can see, only one losing year in both and many years of huge profits.
We often say it’s in niche markets that you can find the most value and exploit bookie weaknesses and Rob certainly seems to have done that here over the years.
It looks like a really interesting service and one we are looking forward to reviewing.
We have just received the initial bets for Strictly so it will be intriguing to see how this year’s series unfolds. There are also some bets for the Emmys that have just been sent too.
Today we’re launching a new review of a service called Football Pro Picks, a football tipster service hosted by Betinfo24.
This is a service that provides tips across a range of markets, but mainly focusing on the over/under, match odds and both teams to score (BTTS) markets.
The basic figures are compelling: since January 2025, the service claims an average monthly profit of £1,716, a strike rate of 73.7 %, and an ROI of 23.24 %, for a total six-month profit of £10,350.20, all calculated at a £20 stake per point.
The man behind the advice is David, a football analyst with over five years of professional experience—particularly strong at spotting value in lesser-known leagues, which keeps the service running throughout the year.
Here’s how it works:
Subscribers get up to 10 selections per day, delivered by 9:00 am UK time, giving plenty of opportunity to place bets
The approach is deliberately steady and data-driven, relying on multiple prediction models rather than chasing high-risk punts
The package includes fully proofed results, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and daily support via email and members area
New users also benefit from a free five-day trial, before moving onto a subscription priced at £29.99 per month (plus tax)
The performance metrics look promising, but what counts is whether they hold up in real time.
We begun tracking the tips on 13th July so will record results from then. We’ll monitor consistency, risk management, and long-term value as well as the overall profit/loss.
Watch this space for updates as we update results as we go along.

We’re kicking off a fresh review today of a cricket betting service known as Cricket Betting Tips.
This tipster is based at the Betting Gods network, which has hosted successful tipsters like The Bookies Enemy, the Outside Edge and Quentin Franks Racing in the past.
It’s been quite a while since we tested out a cricket service. In fact we are yet to come across a successful cricket tipster so it would be nice to have one in the portfolio.
Cricket Betting Tips presents itself as a specialist in the sport, with a reported return on investment (ROI) in the region of 21%, accompanied by a win rate of approximately 48%—figures that certainly catch the eye.
As ever, we won’t be rushing into judgement—positive numbers can look impressive on paper, but they only matter if they hold up over time.
That said, betting under the Betting Gods umbrella always carries a certain level of pre-vetting confidence, so anticipation is high that this one might be a goodun’.
We’ve begun tracking all tips starting from 19th July, so we will record results from then onwards.
Whether cricket’s seasonal variation or betting market shifts will have an impact remains to be seen—but we’ll record everything, update performance as results come in, and bring you an honest verdict at the end.
In any event, it’s good to have a cricket tipster to trial and we will record results here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on.
We are starting a new review today of a horse racing service called Raid The Sand Syndicate.
This comes from the Matthew Walton stable of tipsters, which has provided us with such luminaries as the Golf Insider, Racing Intelligence and the Irish Cash Consortium, all of which have passed reviews here at HBR.
Matthew has a keen eye for tipping talent so we always take note when he brings another tipster in to his stable.
Raid The Sand Syndicate is an all-weather specialist who has over 20 years experience of picking horse racing winners.
The return on investment (ROI) since the service started is apparently over 25% which is very impressive.
Equally noteworthy is the strike rate, which stands at 40% to date.
So the combined stats for ROI and strike rate would make this a very strong performer if they could be repeated in the long run.
As ever we will reserve judgement until our review is completed, but given Mr Walton’s history of picking top-class tipping talent we are hopeful at least this one might be a goodun’.
We started receiving tips on 3rd June so we will record results from then. Inevitably with it being the summer, most flat horse racing is on the turf rather than the dirt so the action will be a little light until the all-weather season kicks in again in the autumn.
We will continue recording results anyway for the tips that are posted and will update things here as we go along.

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.
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
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
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
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 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
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 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
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
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.
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
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.
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.

This is a service that has been around for a few years now and has been on our radar to take a look at for a while so we are glad to have the time now to run a review.
The service is run by a guy called Clive Keeling and was previously known as Delay React Trade, which was a reference to its main trading strategy.
Now it is known as Football Trading Profits and we understand it includes a number of different strategies, although that one is still one of the main approaches used.
Included in the service are:
Daily research bulletins
Live Trading sessions
Telegram alerts
Blog Posts
FAQs
Support
So it’s quite a comprehensive service with a good deal of guidance for members.
There aren’t too many services like this out there despite the popularity of in-play football betting and trading, so it’s good to see a service that tries to guide people in the right direction.
We’ll have to wait and see how good the advice is however before making any judgements.
So we’ll kick things off today and will report back soon on how things are going.
Today we are starting a new trial of a tennis trading service called Tennis Profits.
Those of you familiar with the ever-popular football trading service Goal Profits will not be surprised to learn that they are branching out and bringing their considerable trading expertise to another sport.
The service is a collaboration between Paul Shires – who has run the Trade Shark Tennis service for over ten years now – Matt Bisogno of the excellent GeeGeez racing website – and Steve Brown of the aforementioned Goal Profits.
Paul is the main man doing the trading and he has been a full-time pro tennis trader for a number of years now.
In terms of what the service is all about, it follows a similar structure to Goal Profits. There are:
Trading Guides – getting started etc
A stats database of over 900 male and female players
A live stats tool for trading matches in-play
A set of strategies for trading tennis matches
A live chat room where you can follow along with Paul and his trades
Full support from the team
So it’s pretty comprehensive and the aim is to provide a full set of tools for those who want to trade tennis successfully – much in the same way as Goal Profits does for football.
To kick off the new service, Paul is even giving away a FREE guide which you can pick up. It’s a perfect time to get started with Wimbledon getting underway next week.
Meanwhile we’ll be taking a look at the nuts and bolts of the service and getting to grips with what it’s all about. We’ll report back here soon on what we’ve found.
Today we are starting a new trial of a popular and well-known betting service called Rebel Betting.
It started out as essentially an arbitrage platform but has recently added another tool, value betting, which is what we will be starting out looking at in this review.
According to the website they have had over 125,000 users of their tools since starting up 11 years ago. which shows you the popularity of the platform.
The idea of the value betting software is to identify instances of overpriced odds that are higher than their true probability. But how do they know if odds are overpriced, you may ask?
Well, some bookmakers have proven that they are extremely good at determining odds that reflects the actual probability of an outcome. These are often referred to as “sharp” bookmakers, or “sharps”. These “sharps” can vary by sport but are generally consistent in their efficiency.
So when there is a difference between the sharps odds and those of other bookies, you place a bet at the other bookie and lock in the value.
It could be for example that team news comes out before a game and alters the odds with the sharps who recognise the affect the news has on the teams’ chances, but some bookies are slow to react and adjust their odds, allowing an opportunity to take advantage.
The software constantly crunches the numbers of all these opportunities, comparing the “sharps” with the rest and churns out value bets you can place, in most instances with a link to the relevant market on the bookie’s website.
You then just place the bet and that is it – no trading or other hedging is required.
This is very similar to a product we looked at last year, Trademate Sports. We are not sure who came first but it is not unusual in this genre to see similar products emerge, particularly if they work well!
The disadvantage of value betting versus arbitrage is that the journey doesn’t tend to be quite as smooth, with more ups and downs, but over the course of enough bets (e.g. 1,000+) you are very likely to be up overall. The graph below illustrates how things may go:
In fact, Rebel Betting say the average results of their users is to double their money in three months, if you place 30 bets per day that is.
That would be pretty decent going and you couldn’t complain if those were your results.
Anyway, let’s see how we get on with the software in our review and we will update results here as we go along.
Oh dear – it looks like this service has been discontinued. We haven’t received any tips since they went live and have had no response to our e-mails to them.
Plus now the website appears to have been taken down!
Oh well, sometimes these things happen – people’s personal circumstances can change.
Perhaps if they ever decide to recommence in future, we can run a trial then.
We are starting a trial today of a horse racing service called Racing Bulletin.
This is a service that provides quite a detailed explanation on its website of how selections are arrived at.
Things start off with their speed ratings and some markers to potentially exclude horses based on being poorly handicapped, unproven on the ground or at today’s distance.
Then from this they form a shortlist based on factors such as the going, form and the time of the year.
Finally from this shortlist they will perform their final analysis and select their tips.
The tips focus on turf races but there is also an AW Handicap service adding some selections to the mix, but these don’t come with the same detailed analysis as described above.
Nice to see a tipster that provides detailed explanation for how their choose their bets, although as ever the proof will be in the pudding as they say.
The service is available for a 14 day trial at a cost of £1 but then costs are rather steep to say the least at £79.95 per month.
There are no long term results published on the website so we have to say we are surprised by the level of subscription fees charged. We normally only expect such fees charged for tipsters that have a long track record of proven success.
Anyway, we will see how this one gets on as we are intrigued by the approach.
We will run our normal three month trial and provide regular updates on how this one gets on.
