Away Wins – Full Review

 

Away Wins is a football betting service from renowned football tipster Steve Hudson, operating out of the Phil Rushton stable of tipsters.

The service involves backing away teams in major European leagues. It initially focused on backing away teams in doubles, before switching to single bets partway through our trial.

The service also adjusted its staking strategy, starting at 5-point stakes before moving to 2.5 points per bet.

While there were signs of improvement after these changes, the overall performance remained poor.

The final results show a loss of 102 points, equating to a 50% reduction in the starting bank. This is obviously a very disappointing outcome for those following the service.

Performance Analysis

The trial began with a particularly tough period, with 76 points lost in the first two months.

The shift from doubles to singles and the reduction in staking helped to limit losses somewhat, but it was not enough to turn things around.

Even when analyzing results at a more conservative 1-point level stakes, the service was still showing a loss, albeit a smaller one.

A 52% strike rate is not terrible, but the key issue was the odds and selections failing to deliver enough value to overcome the bookmaker’s margin.

The ROI of -11% confirms this, showing that over the long run, following the tips would have resulted in consistent losses.

So unfortunately with such a large loss and poor stats, unsurprisingly it’s a FAILED rating for this one. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out via e-mail. There is normally plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 5-6 bets per weekend on average (and sometimes bets for the midweek fixtures aswell) the workload is pretty manageable. 

Availability of prices: Tipping in the match odds market in big leagues means there is plenty of liquidity and there was no issue with prices during our trial. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid on the face of it at 52% but it obviously wasn’t high enough to generate a profit. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 200 point betting bank is recommended for following the service. That seems fairly reasonable to us given the staking, although half the bank was lost during our trial so a larger bank may be advisable here. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £15 per month or £67 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

While football tipster Away Wins had some logic behind it – attempting to capitalise on undervalued away teams – the execution ultimately fell short. The losses were too significant with over 100 points dropped during our trial, and even with adjustments, the service did not show enough promise to warrant continued use.

For those looking for a profitable football tipster, there are better options available. You can check out our list of top-performing football tipsters here.

As always, we will continue to review tipster services to find the best and most profitable options for our readers. Stay tuned for more updates!

A slight step backwards for football tipster Away Wins recently, with a loss of 9 points made since our last update.

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

Worth noting that they started off tipping in doubles but have now switched to just single bets. They also started off at 5 point stakes and are now tipping at 2.5 point stakes. 

Since they switched to single bets and 2.5 point stakes, they are around 33 points down for our trial.

That would be around 13 points down at one point level stakes, so not as bad as the headline results but still with some room for improvement for sure.

Away Wins – New Review

8th November 2023

We are starting a new trial today of a football service called Away Wins. 

This service comes from the Phil Rushton stable of tipsters. The tips are provided by Steve Hudson, who also supplies the tips for the Goal King service which passed a review here at Honest Betting Reviews back in 2021.

As the name suggests, this service focuses on backing the away teams in football matches. 

Steve says he feels that home advantage can be overstated in football and there is therefore value to be found in backing away teams in certain circumstances when they are playing well. 

The twist with this service however is they are backed in doubles rather than singles. 

Steve feels this can increase his edge over the bookies when he identifies value on away teams. 

The results published on the Away Wins website look very promising, with 180 points profit made since May of this year. 

That would be £1,800 profit at £10 per point or £4,500 profit at £25 per point stakes.

Equally impressive has been the strike rate of 43% for the winning doubles and a huge return on investment (ROI) of 33%. 

If those results can be repeated over the course of a live trial and in the long run that would certainly be very impressive and would make this a valuable addition to anyone’s betting portfolio.

The bets come in the major European leagues including the Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1, as well as other leagues such as the Swedish Allsvenskan and Belgian Jupiler League. 

With bets being on the match odds market – and being placed in doubles – there shouldn’t be too many issues with liquidity or achieving advised prices. 

So it all looks encouraging but as ever we will wait to see how this one performs under a live trial before delivering a verdict.

We will update results here as we go along as usual so you can see how they are getting on.  

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

Just to confirm that this service has been discontinued so this will be our final update. 

The writing looked to be on the wall for a while as they had been closed to new members on the Betting Gods platform, with only existing members still receiving the tips.

However, with a loss of 29 points made over our two year review period the results were just weren’t up to scratch so we can understand the decision to wrap things up at this stage.

So we will also call it a day here and put this one in the failed/defunct pile. 

On to the next review then and hopefully a bit more luck in finding a top football tipster!

Euro Football Punter – New Review

29th November 2022

We are starting a new trial today of a footy tipster called the Euro Football Punter. 

This is a new service from the Betting Gods tipster platform and has some strong results since starting up in May 2021. 

According to the results on the Betting Gods site, they have made over 130 points profit so far, which is an impressive haul. 

That has been achieved with an excellent 67% win rate – meaning a high proportion of winning bets, something we always like to see. 

The return on investment is also good at 16%. For football services anything around 10% is considered a strong ROI so to be up at 16% with a high strike rate is notable. 

A variety of markets are utilised for the bets including match odds, first half goals and over/under 2.5 goals. 

Leagues across Europe are used, including Ireland, Belgium and Scandinavian leagues, so not the biggest leagues but it’s often these lesser leagues where value can be found as there is less focus on them and information is not so readily available. 

One of the nice things about the service is that there have been some long winning streaks – quite a few over ten and some even 16+ match winning streaks. 

It’s in those instances that the bank can really grow quickly. 

Hopefully we’ll see those kind of streaks repeated during our trial but only time will tell. As ever results will be updated here as we go along so you can see how the tips are getting on. 

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

 

 

 

Football Edge – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Just to say that following our last update below, the service said they would be taking a break and reviewing things after a poor run of form, with a view to starting again at the start of the new season (’24-’25). 

Well we are a couple of months into the new season and are yet to see any tips posted. Nor have they responded to e-mails we have sent them and when trying to log in to the website it gives an error message. 

So we can only presume they have decided not to recommence the service and we will therefore put this review into abeyance. 

If they do restart the service at some point in the future we can look at recommencing our review but for the time being we will put a halt to things here.

Football Edge – Results Update

18th April 2024

The tough times continue for football betting service Football Edge, with a loss of £135 made to advised stakes since our last update.

It’s been a bit surprising to see the results so far as this service came into our trial with very promising long-term results. 

We’ll just have to see if they can manage to recover over the rest of our trial and make back those losses.

Football Edge – Results Update

6th March 2024

It’s been a rough start to our trial of football betting service Football Edge, with a loss of £1048 made so far to advised stakes.

This is a service that advises bets from across the European leagues and are mainly in the match odds and Asian handicap markets. 

They stated that they have been testing a second algorithm for the last two years which they had planned to integrate into the service at the beginning of March but in light of recent results, went live with in the last week of February.

This means that there will be a lot more selections and some of them will be backing the away team to win.

They also stated that this (i.e. February) was their worst month in four and a half years, which is what we sometimes refer to as “reviewer’s curse.” 

Hopefully it was just bad luck and they can get things going in the right direction again soon. 

 

 

 

 

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

Football Edge – New Review

10th January 2024

We are starting a new trial today of a football service called Football Edge. 

It is based on a betting algorithm that identifies value in the football markets and then posts bets to members accordingly. 

They went live with the system in 2019 and the results reported on their website since then look very impressive: 

  • 2019: +£1,969
  • 2020: +£3,656
  • 2021: +£3,224
  • 2022: +£3,935
  • 2023: +£2,044

         Total: +£14,827

Each of those yearly totals is from a starting bank of £2,500 at the beginning of the year, which is reset at the end of the year. 

They say they have achieved over 120% return on investment (ROI) each year, although technically what they mean is 120% return on capital (ROC) rather than return on investment ROI.

The staking is based on the Kelly Criterion and is calculated for you on the website based on your starting bank. 

Looking at the results, some of the stakes are very hefty, with stakes at some point getting up over £350 per bet.

Most of the bets are on heavy favourites so in theory the strike rate should be high and losing streaks short, but those are still pretty big stakes. A few losses in a row could impact the bank quite considerably.

Bets are from across the European leagues and are mainly in the match odds and Asian handicap markets. Results are recorded from Betfair, which is good so hopefully it should be possible to match their official results (or close to them anyway). 

This is an intriguing service with very encouraging results so we are keen to see how it performs under live trial conditions. 

We will get things going today and will report back soon on how they are getting on.

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

 

 

 

 

Cleeve Racing – Final Review

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

We have reached the end of our ten month re-review of horse racing service Cleeve Racing and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:   -128 points
Strike Rate:   41%  
Bank Growth:   -64%
ROI:   -22% 
Average number of bets:   1 bet per day
Cost:   £40 per month or £329 per year
VERDICT:   FAILED
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

Cleeve Racing – Full Review

 

Cleeve Racing is a well-established horse racing tipping service that offers professional-grade tips from a seasoned expert.

With a long history in the industry, they aim to provide punters with consistent profits by leveraging their in-depth knowledge and experience of racing.

We originally reviewed the service back in 2020 when it received a failed rating unfortunately.

However, a change of tipster in 2022 seemed to have resulted in dramatically improved performance, with 340 points profit reportedly made at an ROI of 20% from starting up in May 2022 to the start of our trial in October 2023.  

So we were eager to take a look at this new tipster for Cleeve Racing and commenced a live trial of their tips last year.

Results

When it comes to the numbers, the new tipster has unfortunately underperformed across several key metrics however.

Over the review period, Cleeve Racing recorded a Loss of -128 points, which is a substantial decline for any betting service.

This negative outcome is mirrored in their Bank Growth, which stands at -64%—a pretty big hit to the betting bank.

The Strike Rate of 41% (including placed horses) suggests that while nearly half of their bets were successful during our trial, the winners weren’t enough to offset the losses, leading to a negative return.

Their ROI (Return on Investment) was a concerning -22%, meaning for every £100 staked, there was a loss of £22 on average.

These figures highlight the challenging reality for subscribers who have seen their betting bank diminish rather than grow during our trial period.

In light of the results, it’s clear that Cleeve Racing has not lived up to its reputation during our review period.

The combination of a significant points loss, a negative strike rate, and a declining betting bank culminates in an overall disappointing performance.

For now, we have to give Cleeve Racing a FAILED verdict unfortunately.

Unless there is a remarkable turnaround in their results, we could not recommended this service at the current time. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of Use: Cleeve Racing is straightforward to follow, with an average of 1 bet per day, making it a manageable service for most punters. Bets are sent out on the day of racing usually, but with plenty of time to place the bets. The tips come with detailed reasoning, providing a good level of transparency and insight into the selection process.

Availability of Prices: One of the service’s strengths is the availability of prices. The tips are usually advised at odds that are widely available across the major bookmakers, which means that subscribers should be able to secure the same odds without too much difficulty. 

Strike Rate: The strike rate during our review period was 41% (including placed horses), which is respectable and suggests that Cleeve Racing can find winners on a consistent basis.

However, despite this relatively solid strike rate, the winners have not been enough to counterbalance the losses, resulting in a significant loss overall.

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised that we could see, so we used a 200pt bank for the purposes of our review. With a loss of -128 points during the review period, that represented a 64% reduction in the bank which is quite a substantial hit.

Subscription Costs: The service is priced at £40 per month or £329 per year at the time of writing. These are relatively high subscription fees, especially considering the results achieved during our trial. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

Cleeve Racing has been a well-regarded name in the horse racing tipping industry and with a new tipster installed in 2022 reporting very promising results, we had high hopes for our re-review of the service.

Despite such hopes however, the service sadly struggled during our review period, recording a loss of -128 points and a troubling ROI of -22%. 

Given these results, we must unfortunately give Cleeve Racing a FAILED verdict at this time. We will keep an eye on the service to see if they can turn it around, but for the time being it is not a service we can recommend.

Cleeve Racing – Results Update

9th July 2024

It continues to be a bit of a struggle unfortunately for horse racing tipster Cleeve Racing, with a loss of 6 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 112 points down for our trial overall at advised prices. 

You can view full results here.

There’s been a slight improvement at Betfair SP, with a profit of 13 points made since our last update. However, they are still 123 points down for our trial overall at BSP. 

Small signs of a recovery lately with 3 winners in the last 5 bets and quite a few seconds over the last month, so hopefully they can build on that and start to reduce the deficit.

It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 18 points made since our last update and 136 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.

All we can do is hope they manage to turn things around soon with the flat season proper about to get underway.

Cleeve Racing – Results Update

It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 20 points made since our last update and 64 points lost for our trial overall at BSP. 

We are starting to think we are a jinx for this service. When we reviewed it a few years ago it struggled, then when our review ended they went and made 340 points profit. Now when we are reviewing again they are down. 🙁

Well it’s just bad luck of course rather than a jinx but hopefully it turns around for them soon.

Cleeve Racing – Re-Review

30th October 2023

Every once in a while here at Honest Betting Reviews we like to give services we have reviewed in the past a second look. 

This could be because they have had a significant reversal in fortunes, a change of strategy or have revamped their service altogether.

An example of this is a service we reviewed some time ago but that has come up on our radar once again after major changes – and much improved results – and that is Cleeve Racing. 

This is a horse racing tipster we originally reviewed back in 2020 and to be frank, it had a pretty horrible time during that trial. 

Despite being a respected service with strong results coming into our trial, unfortunately they finished over 100 points down at the end of our review. 

Now 2020, as you will no doubt remember, was a tough time for racing (and just about everything else!) as racing was cancelled due to covid and then had a revised and condensed schedule. 

Whatever the difficulties faced however, sadly the service just didn’t perform. 

However, in May 2022 Cleeve Racing got a new tipster and since then it has looked like a completely different service.

In many ways of course, getting a new tipster is like starting a new service, so perhaps it isn’t even accurate to call this a “re-review” at all and calling it a “new review” would be more accurate. 

In any event, we don’t want to get too bogged down in semantics so let’s get down to the brass tacks instead.

Since the new tipster – a chap called Mike with many years of experience as a professional punter – took over in May 2022, he has made a superb 340 points profit. 

That has been achieved with an excellent return on investment (ROI) of just over 20%.

Fifteen out of the seventeen months Mike has been tipping have been profitable, which is the kind of consistency we like to see!

[In case you missed it, Mike & Cleeve have also produced a FREE Ten to Follow Guide for the jumps season, which you can grab here].   

With such solid results under their belts we are keen to see how the new revamped Cleeve Racing gets on under a live trial. Hopefully we won’t jinx it this time…

Anyway, we will kick off the trial today and will update results here as we go along as usual. 

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

 

 

 

 

The Source – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Please note that this service has been discontinued so our review will end here. 

They were well down when tips stopped being sent on 26th June, so it is not a huge surprise to see this one come to an end. 

So we will call it a day here and move on to the next review.

The Source – Results Update

13th May 2024

Very little movement for horse racing tipster The Source recently with no change to their P/L made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are still 47 points down for our trial overall to advised prices.  

You can view full results here.

They continue to fare somewhat worse at Betfair SP, with a profit of 7 points made since our last update, but 76 points lost at BSP for our trial to date. 

So still a lot of work to do here to turn things around.

Also of note is that they have upped the staking over the last month or so from 1 point each-way bets to 2 point each-way bets. So members’ betting banks would need to adjust accordingly.

The Source – New Review

16th October 2023

Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing tipster called The Source from the Betting Gods tipster platform. 

They have been tipping since March 2022 and in that time have made an impressive 236 points profit. 

That would be £5900 profit at £25 per point stakes or £2,360 profit at more modest £10 per point stakes. 

The results have been achieved with a strong win rate of 41% and a commendable return on investment 0f 21%. 

Most of the selections are each-way with a few win bets and the staking ranges from 0.5pts e/w to 2pts e/w. 

On average there is around one bet per day, although that can vary quite a bit with more bets on weekends or big racedays for example. 

They have achieved an enviable record of consistency, with 14 out of 20 months so far having been profitable – and that includes 6 of the last 7.

So the results look very promising and it will be interesting to see if they can maintain those during a live trial. 

We will kick things off today and update results here as we go along as usual. 

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

All Weather Place – Results Update

1st June 2024

It’s been a tough start to our trial of horse racing service All Weather Place, with a loss of 24 points made for our trial to date. 

You can view full results here.

This is a service that advises place bets on the Betfair exchange at Betfair SP, so there are no separate results at BSP. 

Worth noting that they stake 2 points per bet, so to one point level stakes they would only be 12 points down so far. 

 

 

 

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

All Weather Place – New Review

28th March 2024

We are starting a new review today of a horse racing service called All Weather Place. 

This is a tipster based at the Betting Gods tipster platform and they take a rather different approach to betting than most horse racing tipsters out there. 

As the name suggests, they focus solely on all-weather racing and just on the place market. 

It’s an interesting approach and not one we’ve seen tried successfully before – although very few tipsters have tried it in fairness. Most focus on the win or each-way markets. 

However, we have often wondered if there could be value in the place markets, with for example certain horses who tend to perform consistently and grab a place but rarely win. 

The service has been going for just over a year now and the results have been solid, with a shade under 50 points profit made in total. 

That has come with a good strike rate of 40% and a decent return on investment (ROI) of 9%. 

The good news is that all results are at Betfair SP, so there are no worries for those who have had their bookie accounts restricted. 

We are always open to new ideas and approaches to betting so will be interesting to see how this one gets on in our live trial.

Results will be updated here as we go along as usual so you can see how they are getting on. 

In the meantime you can check out All Weather Place for yourself here.

The Lay Bet Tipster – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Just a note to say this service has been discontinued. They had rather been labouring for a while and not quite producing the hoped-for results so it’s not a surprise to see it be discontinued. 

In fact it had been closed to new members for a while so the writing did look like it was on the wall. 

In they end they finished our trial 9 points down, which wasn’t a total disaster and probably would have warranted a neutral rating in the end. 

We have often said that lay betting is hard and there are very few profitable laying services out there – with the notable exception of those such as Little Acorns. 

However, for The Lay Betting Tipster it wasn’t to be so this goes on our defunct pile and we move on to the next review.

The Lay Bet Tipster – New Review

4th October 2022

Here at Honest Betting Reviews we have scoured the market far and wide over the last seven years in search of good lay betting services. 

Sadly to date we have only really uncovered one good laying service that is still going and that is Little Acorns.

In theory it sounds easy to bet on horses to lose – surely anyone can find horses that aren’t going to win today, or any other day for that matter if you consider some horses we have backed over the years.

It is actually much more difficult in practice and just like any other form of betting, it relies on finding value. 

One service that looks like it may have cracked the code of laying however is The Lay Bet Tipster, which we are starting a review of today. 

It has been proofing to the Betting Gods platform for six months now and in that time has made a highly creditable 74 points profit to 1 point lay bets. 

That’s a more than decent total to have amassed from lay betting and it has come with a high strike rate of 84%, which means a very high proportion of winning bets. 

In terms of the ROI, that currently sits at just over 8% which is pretty good considering the very high strike rate.

The monthly profits have been very stable and consistent too which is something we like to see. 

Tips are provided by a chap called Darren who is an accountant-turned-full-time professional bettor. 

He says he “started betting on horses part-time to gain a second income. Fast forward a few years and clearly, my accountancy skills paid off as I found a lucrative way to profit from the horses and make it my full-time income.”

Making an income from betting is no easy feat so it probably helps to have the skills and attention to detail of an accountant to make it work. 

In any event, the true test will be whether he can produce the goods under live trial conditions so we’ll get our review underway today and will update results here soon so you can see how he’s getting on. 

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

Golf Tips Checker – Full Review

 

Golf Tips Checker brings together golf betting tips from over 150 sources (i.e. tipsters) and finds the players that have been tipped the most across all those tipsters.  

They then publish the most popular tips in the handy form of a pie chart – which you can view on the website or on their Twitter here.

This is an example of their charts:

So you can see at a glance who the most tipped players are for an upcoming PGA Tour or DP World Tour event. 

It’s kind of a betting interpretation of the “wisdom of crowds” –  a novel theory popularised in this book by James Surowiecki.

Now not all the tipsters will be good of course, but the idea is that with over 150 experts and proven specialists with track records included, you should get a good deal of valuable knowledge in there.

We tracked the tips for over 15 months which gave us a very healthy sample size of 792 bets. 

Sadly in that time the tips didn’t deliver the results hoped for, with a loss of 122 points made at the end of our trial. 

That was achieved with a strike rate of 14% (including placed golfers) and a return on investment of minus 8%. 

So whilst this is a very interesting idea in theory and one we would have liked to see succeed, unfortunately it just hasn’t quite worked out in practice.

Ultimately it looks like you are still better off focusing on one or two top tipsters with proven track records like the Golf Insider of Ben Coley.

Perhaps there is just too much “chaff” in there amongst the 150 tipsters and not enough “wheat.”

Credit to the Golf Tips Checker service for tracking, posting and collating all those tipsters though. It is no easy feat and worthy of praise to do that for free.

The information can also be used to identify promising individual tipsters who crop up in their Twitter feeds, so there are other potential benefits to it. 

So we certainly wouldn’t want to knock their efforts nor to suggest Golf Tips Checker are not worth a follow in general. 

In terms of following the “most tipped players” charts though, it just didn’t work out for us during the course of our trial so that aspect has to go down as a failed rating sadly. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections can be found via their Twitter feed or website. They tend to post the “most tipped” pie charts on Tuesday with a reminder on Wednesday, leaving plenty of time to get the bets on. With around 10-15 bets per week on average it’s a pretty standard workload for a golf service. 

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice any discernible impact on prices after tips were posted.

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was quite low at 14% (including placed golfers), and would need to be higher to generate a consistent profit. 

Advised Betting Bank: No bank is recommended for the service, but we used a 200 point bank for the purposes of our trial. As 60% of that bank was lost during the trial, a 300-400 point bank may be more advisable here to be on the safe side. 

Subscription costs: The tips are free to follow on the Golf Tips Checker Twitter (now X) and website. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

Golf Tips Checker brings together golf betting tips from over 150 sources (i.e. tipsters) and finds the players that have been tipped the most across all those tipsters.  

They then publish the most popular tips in the handy form of a pie chart. It is a golf tipping version of the “wisdom of crowds.” 

We were intrigued by the idea and whether it could work in practice but sadly at the end of a 15 month trial it just didn’t produce the hoped-for results with a loss of 122 points made. 

However, the Golf Tips Checker service deserves credit for tracking and amalgamating all the information, which can prove useful in other ways – for example in identifying promising individual tipsters. So hats off to them for that.

Just shows once again how up and down golf betting can be and the importance of having a large betting bank and lots of patience.

Golf Tips Checker – New Review

30th August 2022

We are starting a new review of something a little bit different today…

Whilst we normally look at individual tipsters and betting systems, this time we are going to be looking at a slightly different approach. 

The service we are looking at today is actually an amalgamation of tipsters.

It’s called Golf Tips Checker and it brings together golf betting tips from over 160 sources (i.e. tipsters) and finds the players that have been tipped the most across all those tipsters.  

They then publish the most popular tips in the handy form of a pie chart – which you can view on the website or on their Twitter here.

For example this was from last week from the two main events on the PGA and DP World Tours – the Tour Championship and Omega European Masters:

So you can see at a glance who the most popular players that have been tipped are (and last week they had a winner with Rory McIlroy plus some placed finished with Im, Xander and Rozner). 

It’s kind of a betting interpretation of the “wisdom of crowds” –  a novel theory popularised in this book by James Surowiecki.

Now not all the tipsters will be good of course, but the idea is that with over 160 experts and proven specialists with track records included, you should get a good deal of valuable knowledge in there.

Will it work though? Well, they have apparently had 17 winning weeks out of 20 since starting up in May. Although it’s a small sample size, it does show some promise. 

In addition to the pie charts for the most tipped players, they also have a premium option for the first round leader (FRL) and early access to the most tipped players from £2.50 per month + VAT. 

So will be interesting to see how this one gets on. As we say, it’s something different and a bit of fun in one sense but also looks like it could be quite effective on the other hand. 

As usual we will update results here as we go along so you can see how the amalgamated tips are getting on. 

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

 

 

 

Football Multiplier – Final Review

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

We have reached the end of our 12 month review of Football Multiplier and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:   -120 point loss
Strike Rate:   45%  
Bank Growth:   -60%
ROI:   -10%
Average number of bets:   4-5 bets per week
Cost:   £15 per month or £67 per year
VERDICT:   FAILED
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

Football Multiplier – Full Review

 

Football Multiplier is a football tipping service provided by Steve Hudson, who also provides the tips for another service we have reviewed (and passed), the Goal King. 

The service, as the name suggests, provides multiple bets – in the form of trixies as well as single bets. 

Tips come from leagues across Europe and a variety of markets are used including match odds, double chance, over/under goals and both teams to score. 

We ran a full 12 month trial which gave us a good sample size of over 240 bets. 

At the end of our trial, unfortunately the service finished with a loss of 120 points. 

It’s worth bearing in mind however that the staking here is 5 points per bet, so at 1 point level stakes they would have finished 24 points down.  

Even taking that into account though, the metrics were not great either with a return on investment (ROI) of minus 10% and a loss of 60% of the advised betting bank.

It was a pretty steady loss throughout the trial and despite a recovery mid-way through it tailed off again over the second half of our review:

All in all then it can only be a FAILED rating here sadly as this service has not lived up to other Steve Hudson tipping services which have tended to fare much better.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, usually a day or two before matches. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 4-5 bets per week on average the workload is pretty manageable with this service. There are trixie bets advised, which means having access to bookie accounts. 

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice any discernible impact on prices after tips were sent out.

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was reasonable at 45%, but would need to be a little higher to generate a consistent profit. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 200 point bank is recommended for following the service which seemed okay to us on the face of it, but as it was 60% of the bank was lost during the trial so a 300-400 point bank may be more advisable here to be on the safe side. 

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £15 per month or £67 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

Football tipping service Football Multiplier unfortunately failed to “multiply” our profits during our 12 month trial and finished with a loss of 120 points. 

So it’s a FAILED rating from us for this service which has failed to make the grade.

Football Multiplier – New Review

1st November 2022

We are starting a new trial today of a service called Football Multiplier. 

This comes from Steve Hudson, who also provides the tips for another service we have reviewed (and passed), the Goal King. 

Football Mutliplier, as the name suggests, provides multiple bets – in the form of trixies. 

A trixie, in case you are not familiar with the term, is a bet consisting of:

  • 3 doubles
  • 1 treble

It gives some insurance in case all three bets don’t win, you would still get a decent return if two come in. 

The results published on the Football Multiplier website look encouraging, with just over 200 points profit made since tips began in April of this year. 

That has come with a very high return on investment (ROI) in football terms of 27% and a good strike rate of 54%.

Tips come from leagues across Europe and a variety of markets are used including match odds, double chance, over/under goals and both teams to score. 

We know punters do like a multiple bet so this service should be popular – although whether it can be profitable is another question.

We will soon find out as we get our review underway today. As ever results will be updated here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out Football Multiplier for yourself here. 

 

 

 

 

Winner Spreads – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We began this review back in July but after a few weeks stopped receiving tips. 

We have been chasing the tipster but have not received any response to our e-mails nor any tips for quite some time now. 

So we can only presume the service has been discontinued and will call time on this review.

A shame as the previous service had been pretty good but for one reason or another the tipster wasn’t able to continue the service.

So it’s a FAILED/DEFUNCT rating here and we will move on to the next one…

 

 

 

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

Winner Spreads – New Review

10th July 2023

We are starting a new trial today of a service called Winner Spreads. 

This is actually a follow-up to a service we reviewed a few years ago, Sports Spread Betting. 

It was a service run by a guy called Max and focused on spread betting, which is quite a niche these days compared to the more ubiquitous fixed odds betting. 

The service made an excellent 751 points profit in our trial, with a 51% strike rate and 75% bank growth. 

It continued on for a couple of years after our trial ended, performing very well overall and delivering healthy profits.

However, at the beginning of 2020 Max had to discontinue the service due to time constraints and work pressure.

Now though he is back in business, having brought the service back to life at the beginning of this year and things have been going well (485 points profit Jan-Jun 2023).

He says his database of stats has improved massively he is very confident of long-term consistent profits.

Max says the same money-back guarantee that he used to have will be provided for any month that doesn’t clear 25 points of profit.

A variety of sports are used including football, horse racing and tennis. There are generally 1-2 bets per day making it pretty simple to follow. 

You will of course need a spread betting account to place the bets. We would recommend Sporting Index who have some excellent opening offers and generally good spreads across their markets. 

So we will kick this review off today and will record results here as we go along as usual so you can see how the service is getting on.

In the meantime you can check out Winner Spreads for yourself here.
