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.
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.
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.
Cleeve Racing is a well-established horse racing tipping service that offers professional-grade tips from a seasoned expert.
With a long history in the industry, they aim to provide punters with consistent profits by leveraging their in-depth knowledge and experience of racing.
We originally reviewed the service back in 2020 when it received a failed rating unfortunately.
However, a change of tipster in 2022 seemed to have resulted in dramatically improved performance, with 340 points profit reportedly made at an ROI of 20% from starting up in May 2022 to the start of our trial in October 2023.
So we were eager to take a look at this new tipster for Cleeve Racing and commenced a live trial of their tips last year.
Results
When it comes to the numbers, the new tipster has unfortunately underperformed across several key metrics however.
Over the review period, Cleeve Racing recorded a Loss of -128 points, which is a substantial decline for any betting service.
This negative outcome is mirrored in their Bank Growth, which stands at -64%—a pretty big hit to the betting bank.
The Strike Rate of 41% (including placed horses) suggests that while nearly half of their bets were successful during our trial, the winners weren’t enough to offset the losses, leading to a negative return.
Their ROI (Return on Investment) was a concerning -22%, meaning for every £100 staked, there was a loss of £22 on average.
These figures highlight the challenging reality for subscribers who have seen their betting bank diminish rather than grow during our trial period.
In light of the results, it’s clear that Cleeve Racing has not lived up to its reputation during our review period.
The combination of a significant points loss, a negative strike rate, and a declining betting bank culminates in an overall disappointing performance.
For now, we have to give Cleeve Racing a FAILED verdict unfortunately.
Unless there is a remarkable turnaround in their results, we could not recommended this service at the current time.
Service Breakdown
Ease of Use: Cleeve Racing is straightforward to follow, with an average of 1 bet per day, making it a manageable service for most punters. Bets are sent out on the day of racing usually, but with plenty of time to place the bets. The tips come with detailed reasoning, providing a good level of transparency and insight into the selection process.
Availability of Prices: One of the service’s strengths is the availability of prices. The tips are usually advised at odds that are widely available across the major bookmakers, which means that subscribers should be able to secure the same odds without too much difficulty.
Strike Rate: The strike rate during our review period was 41% (including placed horses), which is respectable and suggests that Cleeve Racing can find winners on a consistent basis.
However, despite this relatively solid strike rate, the winners have not been enough to counterbalance the losses, resulting in a significant loss overall.
Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised that we could see, so we used a 200pt bank for the purposes of our review. With a loss of -128 points during the review period, that represented a 64% reduction in the bank which is quite a substantial hit.
Subscription Costs: The service is priced at £40 per month or £329 per year at the time of writing. These are relatively high subscription fees, especially considering the results achieved during our trial.
OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED
Cleeve Racing has been a well-regarded name in the horse racing tipping industry and with a new tipster installed in 2022 reporting very promising results, we had high hopes for our re-review of the service.
Despite such hopes however, the service sadly struggled during our review period, recording a loss of -128 points and a troubling ROI of -22%.
Given these results, we must unfortunately give Cleeve Racing a FAILED verdict at this time. We will keep an eye on the service to see if they can turn it around, but for the time being it is not a service we can recommend.
It continues to be a bit of a struggle unfortunately for horse racing tipster Cleeve Racing, with a loss of 6 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 112 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
There’s been a slight improvement at Betfair SP, with a profit of 13 points made since our last update. However, they are still 123 points down for our trial overall at BSP.
Small signs of a recovery lately with 3 winners in the last 5 bets and quite a few seconds over the last month, so hopefully they can build on that and start to reduce the deficit.
Not much sign of an improvement unfortunately for horse racing tipster Cleeve Racing, with a loss of 4 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 106 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
Things just can’t seem to get going for horse racing tipster Cleeve Racing at the moment, with a loss of 15 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 53 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 20 points made since our last update and 64 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.
We are starting to think we are a jinx for this service. When we reviewed it a few years ago it struggled, then when our review ended they went and made 340 points profit. Now when we are reviewing again they are down. 🙁
Well it’s just bad luck of course rather than a jinx but hopefully it turns around for them soon.
Still a little bit of a struggle for horse racing tipster Cleeve Racing recently, with a loss of 8 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 38 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 3 points made since our last update and 44 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.
Just a reminder that this is a service we originally reviewed a few years ago, but they got a new tipster in May 2022 and the results since then have been greatly improved, so in many ways this is like a new review.
Somewhat of a step backwards for horse racing tipster Cleeve Racing over the last month, with a loss of 32 points made to advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 30 points down for our trial overall at advised prices.
It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 33 points made since our last update and 41 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.
Just a reminder that this is a service we originally reviewed a few years ago, but they got a new tipster in May 2022 and the results since then have been greatly improved, so in many ways this is like a new review.
At Betfair SP it’s been a little bit of a worse start, with a loss of 9 points made to BSP for our trial to date.
Just a reminder that this is a service we originally reviewed a few years ago, but they got a new tipster in May 2022 and the results since then have been greatly improved, so in many ways this is like a new review.
In any event, a solid start so far – let’s see if they can push on from here.
Every once in a while here at Honest Betting Reviews we like to give services we have reviewed in the past a second look.
This could be because they have had a significant reversal in fortunes, a change of strategy or have revamped their service altogether.
An example of this is a service we reviewed some time ago but that has come up on our radar once again after major changes – and much improved results – and that is Cleeve Racing.
This is a horse racing tipster we originally reviewed back in 2020 and to be frank, it had a pretty horrible time during that trial.
Despite being a respected service with strong results coming into our trial, unfortunately they finished over 100 points down at the end of our review.
Now 2020, as you will no doubt remember, was a tough time for racing (and just about everything else!) as racing was cancelled due to covid and then had a revised and condensed schedule.
Whatever the difficulties faced however, sadly the service just didn’t perform.
However, in May 2022 Cleeve Racing got a new tipster and since then it has looked like a completely different service.
In many ways of course, getting a new tipster is like starting a new service, so perhaps it isn’t even accurate to call this a “re-review” at all and calling it a “new review” would be more accurate.
In any event, we don’t want to get too bogged down in semantics so let’s get down to the brass tacks instead.
Since the new tipster – a chap called Mike with many years of experience as a professional punter – took over in May 2022, he has made a superb 340 points profit.
That has been achieved with an excellent return on investment (ROI) of just over 20%.
Fifteen out of the seventeen months Mike has been tipping have been profitable, which is the kind of consistency we like to see!
[In case you missed it, Mike & Cleeve have also produced a FREE Ten to Follow Guide for the jumps season, which you can grab here].
With such solid results under their belts we are keen to see how the new revamped Cleeve Racing gets on under a live trial. Hopefully we won’t jinx it this time…
Anyway, we will kick off the trial today and will update results here as we go along as usual.

They continue to fare somewhat worse at Betfair SP, with a profit of 7 points made since our last update, but 76 points lost at BSP for our trial to date.
So still a lot of work to do here to turn things around.
Also of note is that they have upped the staking over the last month or so from 1 point each-way bets to 2 point each-way bets. So members’ betting banks would need to adjust accordingly.
They continue to fare a little worse at Betfair SP, with no change since our last update, meaning they are still 83 points down at BSP for our trial to date.
Let’s hope the recent improvement is a sign of larger turnaround in their fortunes.
They continue to fare a little worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 7 points made since our last update and 83 points lost at BSP for our trial to date.
This one could certainly do with a turnaround in fortunes soon.
Things have been going slightly worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 26 points made since our last update and 76 points lost at BSP for our trial to date.
Let’s see if they can start to turn things around over the next month.
Things have been going slightly worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 21 points made since our last update and 48 points lost at BSP for our trial to date.
Hopefully a bit of a break over Xmas will enable them to recharge the batteries and get going again afterwards.
We are starting a new review today of a horse racing service called All Weather Place.
This is a tipster based at the Betting Gods tipster platform and they take a rather different approach to betting than most horse racing tipsters out there.
As the name suggests, they focus solely on all-weather racing and just on the place market.
It’s an interesting approach and not one we’ve seen tried successfully before – although very few tipsters have tried it in fairness. Most focus on the win or each-way markets.
However, we have often wondered if there could be value in the place markets, with for example certain horses who tend to perform consistently and grab a place but rarely win.
The service has been going for just over a year now and the results have been solid, with a shade under 50 points profit made in total.
That has come with a good strike rate of 40% and a decent return on investment (ROI) of 9%.
The good news is that all results are at Betfair SP, so there are no worries for those who have had their bookie accounts restricted.
We are always open to new ideas and approaches to betting so will be interesting to see how this one gets on in our live trial.
Results will be updated here as we go along as usual so you can see how they are getting on.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/all-weather-place-pic.png3701022Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2024-07-22 10:22:272024-07-22 11:55:17All Weather Place – Final Update
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.
Just a reminder this is a tipster that lays horses on Betfair, up to a maximum price of 8.0. Results are recorded using Betfair SP, although if you take prices earlier in the day you would have slightly different results.
Please note this service is now CLOSED to new members. If the service opens up again we will post an update here.

Please note this service is now CLOSED to new members. This may have something to do with the dip in results over the last few months but either way they are not taking on any new members at the moment.

It’s been a little more active over the last month, with 12 bets taken which is more than average for this low volume tipster.

Although in general this is a very low volume service with just a few bets per week normally, yesterday they broke that pattern and issued six tips in one day!
We are not sure if that will be repeated and we’ll see more bets going forward but it certainly was an increase on the bet volume in any event.
Just a reminder this is a tipster that lays horses on Betfair, up to a maximum price of 8.0. Results are recorded using Betfair SP, although if you take prices earlier in the day you would have slightly different results.
It continues to be a very low volume service with just 43 bets since our trial started in October. There were just two bets in March, both of which were successful lays so you could say a “100% record!” 🙂

It continues to be a very low volume service with just 41 bets since our trial started in October, but results have been solid and they obviously don’t want to recommend a bet just for the sake of it, which is the correct approach to take.

It’s been a fairly quiet month with only a handful of bets, but the tipster is careful to only send out selections they are sure about, which is an approach we would endorse.
Just a reminder this is a tipster that lays horses on Betfair, up to a maximum price of 8.0. Results are recorded using Betfair SP, although if you take prices earlier in the day you would have slightly different results.
Has been a very encouraging start here, with 21 of the 23 bets so far having won, which is what we like to see.
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.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/the-lay-bet-tipster-pic.png419451Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2024-03-28 16:56:332024-03-28 17:12:29The Lay Bet Tipster – Final Update
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.

Obviously the tipping community didn’t have a great September based on these results, but as we always say in golf tipping it only takes one winner to turn everything around…
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.
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.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the staking here is 5 points per bet, so at 1 point level stakes they would only be around 24 points down so far.
As mentioned before, they use a combination of trixies and single bets. A couple of trixies have landed over the last month but sadly those couldn’t quite get them to a profit overall for the last month.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the staking here is 5 points per bet, so at 1 point level stakes they would only be around 20 points down so far.
With the main footy season over now they are still providing bets for the internationals and South American leagues, so enough action to keep things ticking over until the new season kicks off in around a month’s time. Not long to go now!
It’s worth bearing in mind that the staking here is 5 points per bet, so at 1 point level stakes they would only be around 16 points down so far.
With the main footy season over now they are still providing bets for the internationals and South American leagues, so enough action to keep things ticking over until the new season kicks off in a couple of months.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the staking here is 5 points per bet, so at 1 point level stakes they would only be around 16 points down so far.
They provide a mixture of win singles and trixie bets, two of which have come in lately landing 23 and 42 points profit respectively, greatly helping the results.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the staking here is 5 points per bet, so at 1 point level stakes they would only be around 21 points down so far.
They provide a mixture of win singles and trixie bets, which sadly haven’t been firing lately. Could do with a few of them coming in soon to turn things around.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the staking here is 5 points per bet, so at 1 point level stakes they would only be around 7 points down so far.
They provide a mixture of win singles and trixie bets, one of which finally landed last week to bring in a nice 20 points profit. Hopefully a few more of those going forward.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the staking here is 5 points per bet, so at 1 point level stakes it would only be around 10 points down so far.
They provide a mixture of win singles and trixie bets, which so far haven’t really been firing. A couple of the trixies coming in could really turn the results around though so let’s see if they can manage to hit a few by the time of our next update.
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.
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.
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.

Just a reminder that this is a service that only recommends bets at Betfair SP, so there are no separate results at BSP.
It’s been a rough old time for this service since our review started. The results looked very promising coming into our trial but sadly it may have hit the curse of the reviewer, as it has only gone one way since. A turnaround is needed quickly.
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.
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.
