The Away Days – Results Update

12th April 2023

Not a great deal of change for footy tipster The Away Days, with 2 points lost at advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 10 points up for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here. 

Just a reminder this is a tipster that bets on away teams to win where they see value and the odds are ideally greater than evens (but not always). 

It’s been solid rather than spectacular so far but a profit is a profit so is not to be sniffed at.

The Away Days – Results Update

1st February 2023

It’s been a strong start to our trial of footy tipster The Away Days, with 12 points profit made for our trial to date at advised prices. 

You can view full results here. 

Just a reminder this is a tipster that bets on away teams to win where they see value and the odds are ideally greater than evens (but not always). 

It’s pretty simple to follow with just a couple of bets per day on average (although more on weekends), so lots to like about this service so far.

The Away Days – New Review

3rd January 2023

Today we are starting a new review of a footy betting service called The Away Days. 

This is a service from the Tipstrr platform of tipsters and is relatively new on the block but has an interesting approach that offers some promise. 

The tips come from a chap called Rob, who says his strategy involves “Betting on away teams to win where I see value and the odds are ideally greater than evens but not always.”

He says he mainly take the bets at the Betfair Exchange although he occasionally uses a bookie. 

As we say the results so far look promising with an average profit of £183 per month at a return on investment of over 10%. 

The strike rate is good too at 43% meaning a fairly high proportion of winning bets. 

Although it’s still early days with this service we are intrigued by the approach of taking away sides when they are favourites, as it’s a trend we’ve noticed ourselves so will be interesting to see if turns out to be profitable. 

It’s a relatively low volume service with as there won’t be bets every day, but enough action to keep things ticking over at least. 

So without further ado we’ll get our first review of 2023 underway with this footy service and will report back soon on how they are getting on.

In the meantime you can check out The Away Days for yourself here.

BSP Racing Tipster – Results Update

A step backwards again lately for the BSP Racing Tipster unfortunately, with 14 points lost since our last update.

That means they are now 80 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder that this is a service that only recommends bets at Betfair SP, so there are no separate results at BSP. 

It shows just how hard it is really to make a profit at Betfair SP and how those who do manage it deserve a lot of praise.

Just a reminder that this is a service that only recommends bets at Betfair SP, so obviously there are no separate results for this one at BSP. 

It’s been a bit disappointing so far as there was a lot of excitement at the launch of the service around the idea of finding a service that’s profitable on Betfair, but it is very early days so far too early to draw any conclusions.

BSP Racing Tipster

30th July 2022

We are starting a new trial of a racing service called the BSP Racing Tipster. 

As you may have guessed from the name, this is a service that tips solely at Betfair SP. That means no worrying about whether you will obtain the advised prices or having bookie accounts restricted etc. 

We often refer to it as the “holy grail” of betting to find a tipster that is profitable at BSP. There are a few of them out there thankfully (see our list of top horse racing tipsters here for examples), but very few that are actually built around tipping at BSP.

That is where this tipster comes in and their record to date looks very promising. They have been proofing to Betting Gods for over a year, which is an extensive proofing period, and the total profit made to date stands at just under 200 points. 

The return on investment has been excellent at over 33% whilst the strike rate is pretty good too, also at 33%. 

Most of the bets are in the win market but there are a few in the place market as well. 

Out of 14 months so far, 13 have been profitable which is very impressive consistency. 

There is currently an offer to get the first month for just 99p, but we understand it is due to close very soon. 

In any event, we are looking forward to getting this trial underway as it is rare to find an opportunity like this of a tipster that is based around tipping at BSP.

As ever results will be updated here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on. 

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

PGA Profit – Full Review

 

PGA Profit is a long-running golf tipster that had amassed some exceptional results coming into our trial, with over 1200 points profit reportedly made. As the name suggests, it focuses on the PGA Tour (with recently some tips on the LIV Tour as well). 

The service is run by a maths expert who uses various algorithms to give him an edge over the markets. He uses various statistics, such as driving distance, driving accuracy, putting average, G.I.R (greens in regulation percentage), strokes gained, ball striking, etc.

He also has over five years of data on each course on the PGA Tour and uses that build up a picture of the kind of player a course will suit and who is likely to thrive there.

Put that together with his detailed knowledge of all the players on tour and any meaningful personal events such as births, marriages, caddie changes etc and you have a very robust approach to taking on the golf markets.

That was the theory coming into our trial anyway.

Sadly though after 18 months of following the tips, the results during our trial went completely the other way to those prior to our trial, with a loss of 289 points made. 

That equated to a loss of 58% of the bank and and a -25% return on investment, which is quite considerable.  

The results are quite a dramatic reversal of form and illustrate what can happen to even the best of tipsters sometimes. Even using the same techniques and form study can lead to very different results as those seen previously. 

Sometimes this can just be due to “natural variance” – or just really bad luck in simple terms. 

Over a sustained period of 18 months as seen here though you have to wonder if something fundamental has changed in terms of the way the markets operate or the continuing viability of the methods used by the tipster. 

We can only speculate on this and those questions are for the tipster to answer ultimately, but sadly it does mean that we have to award this service a FAILED rating at the end of our trial. 

It is worth noting that the results prior to our trial (proofed elsewhere) showed over 1200 points profit, so overall they are still well up. 

Having made a significant loss over the course of 18 months though it remains to be seen if the service can still be profitable in future. We will keep an eye on things and see if they can turn it around – a few big-priced winners can do that in golf betting.   

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, usually with plenty of time to get the bets on. With just five bets per week on average it is a simple service to follow. 

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice any discernible impact on prices after tips were sent out, with the PGA Tour normally having good liquidity. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was low (even for a golf service) at 8%, which just reflects really that they didn’t hit enough winners during our trial. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 500 point betting bank is recommended for following the service which seems reasonable, although 58% of it was lost during our trial so a larger betting bank could be considered. 

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are quite high given the results achieved over the last 18 months, at £54 per month, £246 for 6 months or £418 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

We ran an 18 month trial of golf tipster PGA Profit and despite some excellent long-term results coming into our trial, sadly at the end of our review it finished 289 points down. 

On that basis it can only be a FAILED rating unfortunately, although we will keep an eye on things to see if they can regain the form shown prior to our trial.

PGA Profit – Results Update

The tough times continue for Golf tipster PGA Profit unfortunately, with a loss of 70 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 160 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

Just a note that this service was previously on the Betting Gods platform but is now tipping on its own stand-alone site.

We have given things a chance here in the hope they can turn it around with one or two big winners – as can happen in golf betting – but at some point will have to call it day if we don’t see a notable improvement soon.

Not much cheer lately for Golf tipster PGA Profit unfortunately, with a loss of 38 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 90 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

This service hasn’t quite lived up to the very stellar long-term results it had posted prior to our trial, which is a shame.

However, 2023 is a new year so hopefully they can really get things going this year. And as we say so often with golf tipsters, it only takes one big winner to turn things around.

PGA Profit – Results Update

26th November 2022

The yo-yo trial of Golf tipster PGA Profit continues, with a loss of 80 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 52 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

It’s been an extraordinarily up-and-down trial, with things swinging from positive to negative quite regularly.

Unfortunately the latest swing has been to the downside, with every tip since our last update losing. 

There is just one official event left on the PGA Tour schedule this year so will be a little quiet before the action gets underway in earnest again in January, when hopefully they can get things moving to the upside again.

PGA Profit – Results Update

20th October 2022

Golf tipster PGA Profit has bounced back nicely lately, with 68 points profit made since our last update. 

That means they are now 28 points up for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

The major improvement is thanks to Mackenzie Hughes, who captured the Sanderson Farms Championship at odds of 100/1. 

As we have said in this trial and so often in other golf ones, just one winner can really turns things around. It requires patience to stick with a golf service sometimes when it is having a tough run, but those who stuck with this one have been richly rewarded.

There was a winner recently in the shape of Rory McIlroy at the Tour Championship at 9/1, but sadly that wasn’t enough to cancel out the recent losses.

The new PGA Tour season has just got underway so hopefully they can land a slightly bigger winner soon and get things moving back in the right direction.

20th August 2022

The rollercoaster ride continues for golf tipster PGA Profit, with 43 points lost since our last update. 

That means they are now 8 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

As we say this trial has been very up and down, going over 100 points down at one stage before bouncing right back to being over 50 points up and now being down again. 

Golf betting by its nature is highly volatile but this trial has been a wild ride even by golf’s standards!

In any event, overall they are only slightly down for our trial and one winner can make all the difference, so it’s still all to play for.

PGA Profit – Results Update

A bit of a dip lately for golf tipster PGA Profit after a run of recent success, with 23 points lost since our last update. 

That means they are now 35 points up for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

This trial has been something of a roller-coaster but it’s good to see them nicely in profit now and they keep banging on the door, with a few placed finishes since our last update.

Although the majors are finished for the year now after last week’s Open at St Andrews, there is still plenty of top class PGA Tour action to look forward to, including the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Hopefully PGA Profit can pick up a few more winners before the season’s over.

PGA Profit – Results Update

22nd June 2022

They say patience is a virtue and that’s certainly been the case for followers of golf tipster PGA Profit, with those who have showed faith in the service being rewarded with a further 80 points profit since our last update. That’s on top of 98 points profit the previous month.

That means they are now 58 points up for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

Recent winners include Justin Thomas at the PGA Championship at 16/1 and Sam Burns at the Charles Schwab Challenge at 33/1, which brought in a whopping 99 points profit at 2.5pt e/w stakes.

As we say there’s been a big turnaround for this service and those who stuck with it have been richly rewarded. It does take a strong constitution (and betting bank) to follow golf services but the payoffs can be substantial if you have the stomach to deal with the drawdowns.

PGA Profit – Results Update

18th April 2022

There’s been a big turnaround for golf tipster PGA Profit recently, with a profit of 98 points made since our last update.

That means they are now just 22 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

We often say it only takes one winner to turn things around for a golf tipster and that’s exactly what happened for PGA Profit this month with Max Homa winning the Wells Fargo at 45/1, bringing home 135 points profit in the process.

It illustrates once again the importance of having a large betting bank and a good deal of patience when following a golf tipster. Those who stuck with the tipster would have been rewarded in this case. Hopefully now he can push on and get into profit for our trial.

Fortunately the advised betting bank is 200 points with this service so there is some juice still left in the tank. And as mentioned previously there have been a few close shaves, with another one at the Arnold Palmer recently as Billy Horschel missed out by a shot at 55/1. 

It goes without saying though that they could really do with a winner – let’s hope one arrives sooner rather than later.

Things could have looked very different for them though as they were very close to a winner at the Phoenix Open with Patrick Cantlay narrowly missing out in a playoff, having had makeable putts to win in normal time and extra holes.

That’s the way it goes sometimes unfortunately, but had one of those putts dropped they would be looking at an extra 42 points profit and be close to evens now for our trial.

There has been something of a reversal of fortunes for golf tipster PGA Profit lately, with a loss of 67 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 40 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

We often say with golf tipsters – and apologies to regular readers if we sound like a broken record on this – but it is to be expected to go on long losing runs when betting on golf. This is because the odds tipped at are very high so the strike rate is much lower than horse racing or football services for example.

So you need a big betting bank – 200 points is advised in this case – and a good deal of patience. When the winners do come though it can change everything round in an instant and be very rewarding. Let’s hope a winner is coming soon for this service.

The highlight so far was Hideki Matsuyama winning the Zozo Championship at 15/1 and there have been some placed finishes too.

As we remarked on one of our other golf reviews recently, things will be a bit quiet now as there’s no golf until the New Year but we’ll pick things up when the tour gets going again with the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January.

PGA Profit – New Review

25th October 2021

Today we are starting a new trial of golf tipster called PGA Profit.

This is a long-running service that has amassed some exceptional results and a formidable reputation. 

The service is run by a maths expert who uses various algorithms to give him an edge over the markets. He uses various statistics, such as driving distance, driving accuracy, putting average, G.I.R (greens in regulation percentage), strokes gained, ball striking, etc.

He also has over five years of data on each course on the PGA Tour and uses that build up a picture of the kind of player a course will suit and who is likely to thrive there.

Put that together with his detailed knowledge of all the players on tour and any meaningful personal events such as births, marriages, caddie changes etc and you have a very robust approach to taking on the golf markets.

The results PGA Profit has achieved certainly back that up, with a phenomenal 1200 points profit made since they began tipping in 2018 at a return on investment (ROI) of 34%.

The yearly totals are as follows:-

  • 2018: +274 points profit
  • 2019: +286 points profit
  • 2020: +208 points profit
  • 2021: +500 points profit

As you can see a superb level of consistency to have achieved, with over 200 points profit each year for four years now. All of this has been independently proofed to the SBC, a source we trust. Plus the last year’s results have also been proofed to Betting Gods, another source we trust.

Needless to say then we are very much looking forward to this review as it’s one of the most promising tipsters we have come across in some time.

We shouldn’t tempt fate or get ahead of ourselves though – let’s see how they get on in a live trial. 

We started receiving tips on 19th October so will record results from then. Results will be updated here as we go along as normal.

In the meantime you can check out PGA Profit for yourself here.

 

 

 

Under Par Golf Tips – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Unfortunately after a bad run of results this service has been discontinued. 

It had shown some promise early on, going 88 points up at one point in our trial. However, it was quite volatile and with some hefty staking used there was always a risk of a significant drawdown. 

Sadly that ended up happening towards the end of last year and with most of the recommended betting bank blown, it has been withdrawn from the Betting Gods tipster platform. 

It therefore goes into the FAILED/DEFUNCT pile unfortunately. 

Once again it shows how hard it is to make a consistent profit as a tipster, but thankfully there are some good ones out there we have found through our reviews over the years and our quest to find more will of course continue.

Under Par Golf Tips – Results Update

29th November 2022

Something of a step backwards for Golf betting service Under Par Golf Tips this month, with a loss of 20 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 11 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder this is a service that bets mainly on two-ball and three-ball markets rather than tournament outrights. 

Even though the main golf seasons have finished now on the PGA and European Tours, there are still a few events going on around the world. This week there are actually three tournaments – the Hero World Challenge and Australian & South African Opens – so still plenty of action to get stuck into before the principal action gets underway again in January.

Under Par Golf Tips

21st October 2022

It’s been a better month for Golf betting service Under Par Golf Tips, with a profit of 31 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 9 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder this is a service that bets mainly on two-ball and three-ball markets rather than tournament outrights. 

They do like to bet in doubles which means when things go right they can really rack up the profits, particularly with the quite aggressive staking used. 

The question now is if they can keep it going and continue landing those doubles.  

 

 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Under Par Golf Tips

15th September 2022

It’s been a tough month for Golf betting service Under Par Golf Tips, with a loss of 110 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 22 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

We did mention last time that we thought with the high staking, a 150 point bank might not be enough and given they have lost 110 points since our last update, we would reiterate that a 200 (or even a 250) point bank would probably be more appropriate here. 

Anyway, it’s been quite a rollercoaster ride with this service so far but lets up the next phase is an upward one.

Under Par Golf Tips

13th August 2022

Golf betting service Under Par Golf Tips continues its excellent form, with a profit of 59 points made since our last update a month ago.

You can view full results here.

Just a word on the staking for this service – it is quite high, at an average of 3.6 points per bet for our trial so far. 

They advise a 150 point starting bank but given the high staking a 200 point could be more appropriate here.

Under Par Golf Tips

16 June 2022

It’s been a good start to our trial of Under Par Golf Tips, with a profit of 29 points made so far after one month.

Just a reminder this is a service that bets on two-ball and three-ball matches rather than outright winners, which means the strike rate (or win rate) is much higher than most golf services. 

Off to a strong start and although it’s still early days we are liking the look of this one.

Under Par Golf Tips

16 June 2022

We are starting a new trial today of a golf service called Under Par Golf Tips.

The service is run from the reputable Betting Gods tipster platform and has been going since September last year.

The interesting thing about this service is that unlike most golf tipsters, it doesn’t bet in the outright market but instead focuses on the threeball and twoball markets.

The advantage of such an approach is that it means you are likely to have a much higher strike rate with shorter losing runs, which tend to be the bane of golf services.

And that is reflected in the stats, with the service having achieved a strike rate of 37% so far.

Many of the bets are combined into doubles to give a bit of a boost to results, which has worked quite well so far.

The total profit stands at +259 points to date, which works out at £2,590 profit to £10 stakes.

That has been achieved with a return on investment of 20%, which is more than respectable together with the decent strike rate.

It has shown solid consistency so far with eight of ten months having been profitable, including this month which is £290 up at the time of writing.

We are always keen on checking out services that take a slightly different approach so it’s good to see this one attacking the two- and three-ball markets and it will be interesting to see how it gets on during our trial. 

As usual we will update results here as we go along and fingers crossed for a good trial.

In the meantime you can check out Under Par Golf Tips for yourself here.

Bet Focus – Full Review

 

We have previously reviewed a number of different systems from Exponential Bet, a service that specialises in developing betting systems and strategies for horse racing. 

In more recent times they have switched their service to focus on the use of automatic software to place selections directly on Betfair, using software called Cloud Bet Bot, developed by Level Software. 

We have been very impressed by the development of this software, as mentioned in previous reviews. The fact that you don’t need a VPS or to keep your computer running day and night is a real bonus and it works pretty much seamlessly these days.

The subject of this review is a system called Bet Focus which concentrates on the top to middle of a race market targeting horses with better than average connections and top jockeys.

We followed it for over a year and in that time the software made over 1500 bets, a very good sample size.

A few months in we we switched from the “target profit” approach to the “exchange straight,” which has the potential of greater profits. It also carries greater risk so each approach has its pros and cons.

In any event, after over a year of using the system unfortunately we finished 251 points down.

It is worth noting that our results are a little different to the official ones. The main difference concerns May when we had a -31 point loss where as they had a -1 point loss. 

That difference seems to be down to two things – one was a bet we missed, which could be down to a Cloud Bet Bot or Betfair outage; the second is staking in that our staking setup was different to the official one (i.e. we changed it during May). 

All users will have slightly different results anyway based on what approach they are using and when bets are placed.

Even taking that difference into account, unfortunately the results were still disappointing so it has to be a FAILED rating for this system.

Ease of use: In order to access the system, you need to set up an account with Cloud Bet Bot and connect it to your Betfair account. This is fairly straightforward and there are video tutorials to help you, plus support from Ryan at Exponential Bet whose customer service is amongst the best in the business.

Availability of prices: As you are using Betfair and betting automatically, there is no need to worry about obtaining bookie prices. You have the choice of using BSP or “Exchange Straight,” which is taking the price shortly before the off.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 10%, which is a little on the low side and obviously needed to be a bit higher to make a profit.

Advised Betting Bank: A 300 point betting bank is recommended for the service, which may not be enough given that we were 251 points down during our trial. A 500 point bank could be used here to be on the safe side.

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £29.99 per month or £62.98 per quarter.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

It’s been a tough trial for auto-betting system Bet Focus, with a 251 point loss made after a one-year review. It has to therefore be a FAILED rating for this one unfortunately, but it’s a strategy we will keep an eye on to see if things improve going forward.

Just a reminder that Bet Focus is a horse racing betting system that places bets automatically on your Betfair account using cloud software. It operates at the top to middle of a race market and targets the horses with better than average connections and typically top jockeys.

It is worth noting that our results are a little different to the official ones. The main difference concerns May when we had a -31 point loss where as they had a -1 point loss. 

That difference seems to be down to two things – one was a bet we missed, which could be down to a Cloud Bet Bot or Betfair outage; the second is staking in that our staking setup was different to the official one (i.e. we changed it during May). 

All users will have slightly different results anyway based on what approach they are using and when bets are placed.

Bet Focus – Results Update

12th July 2021

Not much change for auto-betting system Bet Focus over the past month, with a loss of 2 points made since our last update.

Just a reminder that Bet Focus is a horse racing betting system that places bets automatically on your Betfair account using cloud software.

There are different options for how you can this strategy and so far we have been using the “target profit” approach, which as the same suggests is about aiming for a daily profit target. This is a conservative approach which has its advantages, but having looked at the results we have decided to switch to the “Exchange Straight” staking. 

When comparing the results of the two approaches, the Exchange Straight has made over 560 points profit, compared to 56 for the target profit. Whilst the former is more volatile, the potential to make significantly more profit is appealing so we are going to try that for the time being and see how we get on. 

We will report back in the next update on how it is going.

Bet Focus – New Review

4th May 2021

We have previously reviewed a number of different systems from Exponential Bet, a service that specialises in developing betting systems and strategies for horse racing. 

In more recent times they have switched their service to focus on the use of automatic software to place selections directly on Betfair, using software called Cloud Bet Bot, developed by Level Software. 

We have been very impressed by the development of this software, as mentioned in previous reviews. The fact that you don’t need a VPS or to keep your computer running day and night is a real bonus and it works pretty much seamlessly these days.

Ryan who runs Exponential Bet is constantly working on new systems and strategies and one of his most promising recent projects is a system called Bet Focus. 

It places multiple back bets for members in qualifying races, operating at the top to middle of a race market, but targeting the horses with better than average connections and typically top jockeys.

The results so far look very good, with over 440 points profit made at BSP at a strike rate of 37% and an ROI of 13%.

That is from over 3,000 bets dating back to last June, so a good sample size. 

Those results are from straight staking, although there are other options such as target profit and ratchet staking. Using the alternative staking tends to reduce the drawdowns but also the overall profit, so it depends on your particular attitude to risk as to which one is best for you. 

Anyway, whichever staking used the results have been very positive so we are looking forward to getting this review underway. 

We will return soon to provide an update on how things are going.

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

Bargain Punter – Full Review

 

Bargain Punter is a horse racing tipping service developed by the Back Lucrative betting team.

We have previously reviewed a number of Back Lucrative services including their main one, plus Hidden Winners and Flat Flyers, all of which achieved positive results. 

The theory behind Bargain Punter is to find “bargain punts” or value in other words, something Michael and his Back Lucrative have specialised in across their various services over the years.

With such a positive betting history behind them, we came into this trial with high hopes.

Sadly though after a six month trial, it didn’t live up to our expectations.

Finishing with a net loss of 56 points to 1 point level stakes came as quite a surprise. We had been expecting much better as we say.

That meant over 50% of the betting bank was lost and the return on investment was negative thirteen percent.

Whilst it was disappointing, it should of course be remembered that not every service Michael and the Back Lucrative come up with necessarily be profitable, even with their stellar long-term record. Or it could just be that we caught this service at a bad time and results improve in the long run.

That being said we can only base our review on the results achieved during our live trial and on that basis it is a FAILED rating for Bargain Punter unfortunately. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The tips are available via logging in to the Back Lucrative website, usually by 10am (UK time) on the day of racing. 

Availability of prices: Prices are generally available and we didn’t see any problems obtaining the recommended odds.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 21%, which isn’t too bad by itself but not where it needed to be given the odds tipped at.

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point betting bank was recommended for the service which seems reasonable on the face of it, although with 56% of that being lost during our trial there could be an argument for a 150 point bank instead.

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs are a 10 day free trial then £37 per month, £97per quarter or £197 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

Having had very positive results from reviews of other Back Lucrative services we were hopeful coming into this trial that we would have another winner on our hands.

Unfortunately though it didn’t turn out that way in the end and after a six month trial it was a loss of 56 points for Bargain Punter, so it’s a FAILED rating for this service sadly.

It’s a little worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 15 points made for our trial to date. 

This is a trend we’ve noticed across the Back Lucrative tipping services, in that the BSP results are generally quite a bit lower than the advised ones.

That might open up some trading angles for the shrewd punter potentially – something to keep an eye on anyway.

Bargain Punter – New Review

1st September 2021

If you are a long-term follower of ours here you may well be familiar with Back Lucrative. It’s a long-running and highly respected horse racing service managed by a chap called Michael Carr. 

Over the years we have reviewed their original Back Lucrative service, as well as their Flat Flyers and Hidden Winners services and have been impressed by the long-term results they have achieved. 

Michael is not resting on his laurels however and has developed what looks like another very promising service, called Bargain Punter.

It has apparently generated over 211 points profit at level stakes over the course of 11 months, which is very good going.

That was achieved with a 32% ROI and 27% strike rate. 

Using a bank builder (or compounding) method, the performance improved to over 531 points which means over £10,620 at just £20/point.

Plus, by combining their selections as advised in multiple bets they claim it would have made an additional 803.81 points profit.

The theory behind it is to find “bargain punts” or value in other words, something Michael has clearly demonstrated he is an expert at over the years. 

He reckons this is his most powerful strategy yet, which given the results he’s achieved is quite something. 

Anyway, the proof is in the pudding as we always say so let’s wait to see how it performs under a live trial. 

Just a note to say they are offering a 10 day trial of the service if you fancy checking it out. 

We will run a review as normal and record results as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out Bargain Punter for yourself here.

BP Racing – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

This is just a quick update to say we are wrapping up this review as BP Racing has been discontinued.

The service had struggled throughout our review, going around 100 points down at one stage so it’s no surprise really to see this one has given up the ghost. We had been planning to wrap up the review soon in any event given how things had gone.

It did have very promising results coming into our trial and it would have been great to have a service that was profitable at Betfair SP, but sadly it wasn’t to be.

Just to note that Punt Hub who ran the service posted a message saying:

“Those that are still paying members here or have subscription left will be moved over to the bet Professor today.

If you have already paid and do not wish to move over please let me know asap so I can arrange a refund for you.”

Anyway, not much more for us to add other than to say it’s another one for the defunct/failed pile unfortunately and it’s on we go with the next review…

Let’s hope they can get things moving in the right direction by the time of our next update.

BP Racing – New Review

22nd July 2021

Today we are starting a new trial of a service called BP Racing. 

Despite the logo on their website, the “BP” doesn’t in fact stand for British Petroleum, but rather for “Betfair Price.”

From the Punt Hub stable of tipsters, this is a service that tips at Betair SP and for that reason is one we imagine will be popular with those of you who have had your bookie accounts restricted. 

Yes, there is no need to worry about being gubbed, or having to react like lightning when tips are released to grab the advised prices before they get smashed in. 

With this service you can just put the bets on at Betfair SP and go about the rest of your day. 

It is a relatively new service having only been running since 24th April, but the results so far look very impressive.

Over 200 points profit has reportedly been made at one-point level stakes at a return on investment of 18%. 

Those are exceptional results to have achieved at Betfair SP where it is notoriously hard to eek out any kind of profit at all. 

There is quite a large volume of bets, with a few given out each day normally before 10am daily via Telegram. 

Just to say there is currently a special discounted rate of just £10 for the first month (normally £25 per month) so a pretty decent offer there.

We would like to see this one do well as we know a lot of you are keen for a service that is profitable at Betfair SP. As ever though we will reserve judgement until we have conducted our trial. 

Results will be updated here as we go along.

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

CH Footy Tips – Final Review

We have reached the end of our seven month trial of CH Footy Tips and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:  -109 point loss
Strike Rate:   28%
Bank Growth:   -100%
ROI:   -18%
Average number of bets:   2-3 bets per day
Cost:   N/A
VERDICT:   FAILED

You can view full results here.

 

CH Footy Tips – Full Review

 

CH Footy Tips is a football tipster from the Betting Gods tipster platform. The tips are provided by a guy called Chad from Atlanta in the US.

Most of his bets are handicap bets, involving using the -1.5 handicap line (so sides that are strongly fancied) and then putting the bets into singles and doubles. 

We followed the service for seven months, which gave us a good sample size of over 500 bets.

Sadly though the trial did not go as hoped and in the end it finished 109 points down, more than wiping out the recommended betting bank of 75 points. Even extending the bank to 100 points would not have avoided a wipeout.

Midway through the trial the service was removed from the Betting Gods website and the service was closed to new members, with just existing members receiving the tips.

We would imagine there aren’t many existing members still following the tips though given the results.

So it’s probably no surprise to learn that it’s a FAILED rating from us for CH Footy Tips unfortunately.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The tips are sent out by e-mail at various times of day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon UK time.

Availability of prices: Prices are generally available and we didn’t see any problems obtaining the recommended odds.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 28%, which is clearly quite a bit below where it needed to be to make a profit.

Advised Betting Bank: A 75 point betting bank was recommended for the service but that was completely wiped out and even expanding that to a more standard 100 point bank would not have been enough to stave off a bank wipeout.

Subscription costs: The service is not currently available to new members.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

After losing 109 points in our trial and blowing the entire recommended starting bank, unfortunately there can only be one outcome for CH Footy Tips and that is a FAILED rating.

CH Footy Tips – New Review

18th June 2021

Today we are starting a new review of a football tipster called CH Footy Tips from the Betting Gods tipster platform. 

The tips are provided by a guy called Chad who is  a professional football gambler from Atlanta in the US. Although he is from America, having grown up around Europe his betting is mostly centred on UK and European leagues.

Most of his bets are handicap bets, involving using the -1.5 handicap line (so sides that are strongly fancied) and then putting the bets into singles and doubles. 

It’s an approach that’s worked well for Chad so far, with a profit of 170 points made since joining the Betting Gods platform in December 2020. 

The strike rate is good at a shade over 36% whilst the return on investment is solid at 8%. 

We tend to like tipsters who stick to a systematic approach and have a niche angle, which this tipster seems to do with their focus on the handicap markets, so we are interested in seeing what kind of results they can produce under a live trial.

We will kick things off today then and post results updates here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out CH Footy Tips here.

Beth Bet – Final Review

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Unfortunately we regret to report that this review is coming to an early end as the service is being discontinued.

Here is an excerpt from the e-mail we received from Beth Bet:

“Dear members of Beth Family,

We’ve come a great journey together but it is now the time our paths split. Unfortunately, Beth ceases her work due to circumstances beyond our control and some external factors.

Every day of Beth’s life we strived to give our players everything we have to become successful punters and always have been by your side. As much as we desire and aspire to continue developing Beth, there are unforeseen reasons that we cannot withstand.

The whole Beth Team wants to say thank you for sharing our passion for horse racing, for being with us every day, for making Beth better every day.

Starting from the 1st of February website beth.bet and app.beth.bet will not be available.”

So it’s a bit vague really on what exactly has happened, other than that it is due to circumstances beyond their control.

They say they will be issuing refunds though for subscribers with current plans that should have been active this year starting from February month so we hope they honour that.

It’s a shame as the system had actually been doing quite well, but in any event it goes in the FAILED/DEFUNCT pile unfortunately.

Beth Bet – Results Update

21st December 2021

AI software Beth Bet has continued to perform well, with a profit of £430 made to £10 stakes since our last update.

That means it is now £512 up for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder that this is an AI powered piece of software that analyzes a range of factors on horse races and identifies value selections to be placed with the bookies.

You have to place the bets yourself, although the software does include a link through to the race in question to make it easier. 

It is advisable to have alerts turned on so you get a ping every time a new bet is issued.

Beth Bet – Results Update

18th November 2021

It’s been a good start to our trial of Beth Bet, with a profit of £82 made so far to £10 stakes after one month of testing.

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder that this is an AI powered piece of software that analyzes a range of factors on horse races and identifies value selections to be placed with the bookies.

You have to place the bets yourself, although the software does include a link through to the race in question to make it easier. 

Essentially you turn the software on before racing (morning is best) and let it churn out the selections. You need to place the bets as quickly as possible after they are issued, before the odds decrease. 

They recommend trying to place at least 20 bets per day which is what we have been aiming for, although some days it has not always been possible to use the software due to outside circumstances. 

In any event, it has been working well so far as we are in profit, so is looking promising.

Beth Bet – New Review

16th October 2021

Today we are starting a trial of a new piece of horse racing software called Beth Bet. 

This is an AI powered tool that analyzes a range of factors including horse pedigree, history, track conditions, current form of horses and jockeys and even weather reports.

It crunches all this data and identifies situations where the odds of a horse are higher than they should be – and therefore represents value. 

It currently works with 11 bookies, namely:-

– BetVictor
– Bet365
– Coral
– Ladbrokes
– William Hill
– 888 Sport
– Paddy Power
– 10bet
– PokerStars Sports
– BetWay
– NetBet

You can use it with as many or as few of these bookies as you like.

There is no arbitrage between the bookies and/or exchanges and no trading. It is just a question of placing the bets and letting them run. The idea is that over time the positive EV (expected value) in the bets will make a profit. 

The results shown on the Beth Bet website look very impressive to say the least:-

Normally we are sceptical of things like this but we have seen some positive reports about Beth Bet from a couple of sources we trust so thought it would be worth checking out. 

One aspect we are particularly interested in is whether it is profitable to use on Betfair. Now technically it is set up to be used with the bookies but we know lots of you have been limited with the bookmakers so if this was to prove effective on Betfair it would be a real bonus. 

The other fear we have with tools like this that look to capitalise on value at the bookies is that they can end up getting your bookmaker accounts restricted, so that is another aspect we will have to consider.

All in all though this look interesting and certainly worth testing out. 

We will update results here as we along so you can see how Beth Bet is performing for us. 

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

Mercurius Tradr – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We are having to discontinue this review as Mercurius Tradr has been acquired by a European fintech company and they don’t want the software made available to the public.

Please note they are refunding any unused percentages of the yearly maintenance fee.

The refunding procedure will end on Dec 29th, after that date they say they won’t be able to refund you anymore and any credit will be lost. So any members please remember to send them your information with enough time to complete all the operations needed.

It is a shame this is being closed to the public as it looked like quite an interesting project, but we understand they have to make whatever decisions are best for them commercially.

So this review will cease now and go into the defunct pile.

Mercurius Tradr – Results Update

3rd November 2021

Mercurius Tradr is an Artificial Intelligence application that analyses thousands of data points on football matches to find value on the Betfair Exchange.  It places bets automatically on your Betfair account via the cloud.

Unfortunately it has continued to struggle during our trial, with a further £147 lost since our last update.

That means it is now £199 down for our trial from a starting bank of £1,000.

You can view full results here.

So it has not really been going to plan so far, but hopefully they can turn things around soon.

Mercurius Tradr is an Artificial Intelligence application that analyses thousands of data points on football matches to find value on the Betfair Exchange.  It places bets automatically on your Betfair account via the cloud.

So far it is £51.64 down for our trial from a starting bank of £1,000.

The software was easy to set up and has been operating smoothly, with no input required on our side which is good. Just need the results to pick up now!

Mercurius Tradr – New Review

31st August 2021

Today we are starting a trial of a new piece of auto-betting software called Mercurius Tradr.

This is an Artificial Intelligence application that analyses thousands of data points on football matches to find value on the Betfair Exchange.  

It looks at the quality of chances created by each team and simulates matches over 10,000 times. From that data it identifies where the real value lies on Betfair. 

Here is a short video explanation of Mercurius Tradr:

Terms like “AI” are thrown around like confetti these days, often without much basis and in the hope of making something sound more sophisticated and cutting-edge than it actually is. 

However, having been given a lengthy presentation by a member of the Mercurius team (Carlo) about how it works, the brains behind it (PhDs in mathematics) and their plans for developing it further, we have no doubt that the use of such a term is warranted in this case. 

It’s a very impressive piece of software and runs automatically in the background so you don’t need a VPS or to leave your computer on day and night. 

Since it went live at the start of 2019 the Mercurius bot has made 32 points profit, all at the Betfair exchange and including commission. That is a 32% return on capital, which is not bad at all for something that runs on autopilot and places the bets for you.

That’s the least you would have made as well, as they record the minimum odds achieved but some members may have got better odds. 

At the moment they use just the match odds and Asian handicap markets and focus on the main European leagues, but aim to add more leagues and markets in future. Just recently for example they added the Swedish league. The more leagues and markets they use, the more chance there is to make profits – that’s the idea anyway!

We are starting with a £1,000 bank and using 1% stake per bet, so that means £10 per bet. 

At the moment all bets are pre-kick off, but they may add in-play betting in future. 

The costs are structured in such a way that you pay a maintenance fee of 2% per annum and a 30% performance fee per quarter, but only if they make you a profit of more than 5% ROC for that quarter. 

Anyway, we are really looking forward to testing this out as it looks like a very innovative piece of betting software and we think it has great potential. 

As ever we will provide updates here as we go along.
