We remarked the other day about sounding like a broken record regarding services closing down before we had even finished our review of them. Well today we sound even more like a broken record!
Yes unfortunately we received an e-mail last Thursday from MK saying that he had decided to fall on his sword and close down the service as things had clearly gone wrong.
Well to be fair things hadn’t gone that wrong as he was still 20 points up since July – many tipsters lose hundreds of points before considering closing their service.
But sadly in the tipping world sometimes treading water is as bad as losing from the point of view of maintaining subscribers, so it is understandable if MK decided it wasn’t worth continuing.
Either way it’s another service on the scrapheap unfortunately and we are getting to the point where we will be glad just to complete a review at the moment!
Interestingly they are doing better at Betfair SP than at advised prices so far, with a profit of 22 points made at BSP.
You don’t see that very often so will be interesting to find out whether it persists for the remainder of our trial. A good start though anyway and let’s hope it continues.
Today we are starting a trial of a horse racing tipster with a bit of a twist.
This tipster bets not just on singles on the horses but also does doubles, trebles and 4-folds.
They are called MK Horse Racing Tips and come from the Betting Gods network of tipsters.
Results so far look pretty decent, with over 57 points profit made to a return on investment of 22% and a strike rate of 26% since starting tipping back in July.
That equates to over £114 per month profit on average to £10 stakes and bank growth of over 75%.
So it looks like a promising service, plus it has the added bonus of potentially winning big if one of their multiples comes in!
Hopefully it will still be profitable just on the basis of the single bets but we will see.
We will run our normal three month trial and will report back soon on how things are going.

At the start of this trial we were excited that we may have found the “holy grail” of horse racing services – something that was consistently profitable at Betfair SP.
Certainly the results published prior to our trial suggested that was the case, with over 3,000 points profit made to BSP according to the Tipster Street website.
Sadly though our trial of Racing Exchange ended up dashing those hopes, with a loss of 122 points made over the course of our three month review.
With a return on investment of -10% and a loss of nearly a quarter of the bank (or half of the original bank advised), it is rather stating the obvious to say this was a very tough trial.
As you can see below, it went into loss straight away and never recovered, despite a small rally towards the end.
So there isn’t much to say other than this receives a FAILED rating and our elusive search for a tipster who can consistently generate a profit at Betfair SP continues.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A high-volume service with around 13 bets per day on average, although the good news is you can place all the bets at Betfair SP which means a lot less time spent than placing the bets at the bookies. Bets are normally sent out in the morning at around 9-10am UK time.
Availability of prices: No issue on this one as all bets can be placed at Betfair SP.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 20%, which is a little on the low side and would mean a degree of patience is required for following this service.
Advised Betting Bank: A 500 point betting bank is now advised for following the service, which has increased from the 250 point bank that was advised when we started our review. Given the results we think that is a sensible move.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are £9.99 for the first month then £19.95 per month after that.
OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED
Unfortunately it was a very tough trial for Racing Exchange with a loss of 122 points made. With results like those it is perhaps no surprise that this receives a FAILED rating from us.
It will need something pretty spectacular to turn this around given the losses accrued to date.
It’s another example though of why it’s a good idea to wait and see how something performs under a live trial before risking your own money on it. Certainly it would have been pretty painful if you had risked your own money on this so far.
One thing we can say is that at least they advise a reasonably-sized bank at 250 points, so the bank has not been wiped out yet.
Certainly though this is a lot worse than we were expecting, with their previous worst month prior to our trial losing just 12 points.
We had high hopes for this one with supposed profits of 3,000 points coming into our trial, but sadly so far it is not living up to those expectations.
Many people would have given up by now (and understandably so) but we will continue our trial for the full three months – or until the bank is wiped out if that ends up happening.
One of the perks of running a review site like this is that we get contacted about all manner of interesting and innovative new betting systems and strategies.
A lot of the time these come with lots of hype but turn out to be a load of rubbish, whilst some are so obviously scams they aren’t even worth taking seriously.
But occasionally something lands in our inbox that looks truly exciting.
And we have just received one such e-mail this week.
It concerns a new betting service called Racing Exchange that boasts what are some of the best results we have ever seen.
Since early last year they have made a phenomenal 3,000 points profit to 1 point level stakes. That would be an amazing £30,000 profit to £10 stakes or £15,000 to just £5 stakes.
That has been achieved with a solid strike rate of 22% and an almost unheard of ROI of 68%.
On a monthly basis that would work out at an average of over £1,400 per month profit to just £10 stakes, which is an outstanding return.
Not only that, but the results are all at Betfair SP! Yes that’s right, you don’t even need bookie accounts to follow the service.
Really the results are quite amazing and they are on the borderline of being too good to be true to be honest. However, the service is run out of the Tipster Street stable of tipsters who say they have proofed the results since early last year. We know the Tipster Street team and have always found them to be honest so we don’t doubt the published results and what they say.
Of course we don’t just take their word for it though – that is why we are here, to test these systems out and see if they live up to expectations.
So we will run a live trial of Racing Exchange and see if they can replicate the phenomenal results published on the website for the last 20 months or so.
Looking at the results, it is interesting that they have an incredible record backing horses over 100/1, with over 1500 of their points coming from those, including one at over 800/1!
Those at smaller prices are also profitable though, so it is not just a question of them having picked a few lucky long-shots.
In any event, this does look very promising so we can’t wait to see how they get on under live conditions. So please check back here for regular results update on how the trial is going if you are also interested in finding out.
In the meantime you can check out Racing Exchange for yourself here.

We seem to be saying this quite a lot lately – but unfortunately the Top Tennis Tipster service has been discontinued. It hadn’t been going long so a shame to see it go so quickly, particularly as results weren’t too bad.
But there you are, the world of tipping as ever is a very tough one and consistent profits are needed to maintain a membership base.
Anyway, it’s into the failed/defunct pile for this one we’re afraid and time to move onto the next review…
They have continued tipping through the off season with bets in challenger and lesser events, which can be a little trappy. However with the main season getting underway in under a couple of weeks hopefully that will help things to pick up.
The bets come in quite a variety of tournaments, from the top ones down to Challenger events so you have to do a little bit of shopping around sometimes to find the best odds in the more obscure events.
With the tennis season effectively ending today, there may not be a huge number of bets over the next few weeks but we will see if they provide selections in some of the end of season stuff.
Well today we have another one and it is rather appropriately called Top Tennis Tipster.
Apparently it is run by someone who is a full-time, professional tennis bettor standing by to share his personal bets and experience with you.
They cover match winners and correct score bets on action all around the world.
The results so far look pretty strong, with over 50 points profit made since June at a return on investment of over 9%, which represents a more than doubling of the bank in just a few short months.
Bets come in a variety of different markets including Challenger events and doubles matches as well as the more established ATP and WTA events.
There is quite a high volume of bets, with around 80-100 per month, but that should be manageable for most punters to place a few bets per day.
So we now have three promising tennis betting services to get stuck into and it will be interesting to see which, if any, of them, emerge as winners.
We will post results here periodically during the trial so you can see how things are going.
Exponential Bet In-Play Betting System – Full Review
Exponential Bet is a series of betting systems and strategies run by a guy called Ryan Phillips who is a professional gambler.
We previously reviewed another of Exponential Bet’s systems, their Dutch Betting System which delivered excellent results over the course of more than a year we followed it for and received a passed rating.
This review looked at their In-Play Betting System, which is essentially a system for betting on the horses in-play on Betfair. It was in beta-testing mode for our trial.
It is recommended to use a bot to operate the system – any of Fairbot, BF Bot Manager or Bet Engine can be used. We used Bet Engine for the review and found it to work fairly smoothly.
During the review period the option of making the system fully automated rather than having to find the potential qualifying races yourself was added, which was also helpful.
The recommended approach is to follow a “stop at a profit” strategy, whereby once you have reached a target profit for the day, you stop and don’t place any more bets. If the target profit isn’t hit then you continue through eligible races until the end of the day. This can all be programmed into the bot.
At the end of our three month trial we finished with a profit to 341 points to 10 point stakes (or 34 points to 1 point stakes), which represented a 34% growth of the bank.
As you can see from the graph below, it was pretty steady upward progress during the review:
That was achieved with a healthy strike rate of 56% in terms of the races bet in and 80% of the days on which the system operated finished with a profit
So overall the system performed very well during our trial and we are happy to award it a PASSED rating.
At first it can seem quite complicated and that there is a lot to take in, but once you have got the hang of it and everything is set up, you can just let the bot run and do its thing which is great. Ryan’s customer service is also first class and we found him very helpful in dealing with any queries or issues we had.
The only small point to note is that sometimes there were different results reported by members as liquidity means some bets may not have been matched by everyone, but we believe those issues were ironed out and any discrepancies should even out over the long run anyway.
Anyway, all in all we were impressed with the system, which operates solely on Betfair and doesn’t need any use of the bookies. We look forward to its general release following the beta testing.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: As mentioned above, it can seem quite complicated at first and there is a bit of work to do in terms of setting everything up, but once you have done that you can just let the bot run and do its thing. We recommend using a bot because finding the selections yourself and monitoring all the races manually would be very time-consuming.
Availability of prices: As also mentioned above, there were some small discrepancies in matching the bets on occasion but we understand these have been ironed out and would not affect the overall results to any significant degree anyway.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 56%, which is very good and meant drawdowns were minimal.
Advised Betting Bank: A 1000 point betting bank is advised for following the service (i.e. on the basis of 10-point stakes per bet), which seems a sensible and appropriate level to us to cope with any losing runs.
Subscription costs: The costs are currently a one-off fee of £74.99 to purchase the system, which includes all the set up instructions so you can operate it on an ongoing basis.
OVERALL VERDICT:
This is the second of Exponential Bet’s betting systems we have tested and also the second one we have given a PASSED rating to, with a profit of 341 points made during our three month trial.
The system can be operated via a bot on Betfair, which although takes a little bit of effort to set up will save a lot of time in the long run and means the system can be operated on auto-pilot.
The name of all Ryan’s systems is to steadily build a bank over the long term and we can certainly see that being done with this excellent In-Play Betting System.
With the addition of automated betting via a bot this is running nicely and looking like a top system from what we have seen so far. Let’s hope the strong results continue.
Exponential Bet In-Play Betting System – Results Update
12th November 2018
It’s been an excellent start to our trial of Exponential Bet’s In-Play Betting System, with a profit of 188 points made so far to 10 point stakes (or 18.8 points to 1 point stakes).
This is an approach that lays horses in running that fit certain criteria.
There are a few things to note about the system – firstly, for practical purposes you will need a betting bot like the Bet Engine or Fairbot to run it.
Secondly, it is a “stop at a target profit” staking system, so you stop either when you have made at least 1 point profit (or £10 in our case) or you run out of races for the day.
Thirdly up until now you have to had to manually select which races the bot should operate in for the day, but they have been working on automating this and it looks just about ready (for the Bet Engine at least), which is good.
So far this has been running well and delivering steady profits and with the addition of automating the process it’s looking like a top notch betting product.
Exponential Bet In-Play Betting System – New Review
15th October 2018
We recently posted a one-year updateon our review of Exponential Bet’s Dutch Betting System and gave it a continued passed rating after a strong performance over the last 12 months.
The Exponential Bet platform is run by a guy called Ryan who is a professional gambler himself and we have been impressed by both the profitability of Exponential Bet’s various systems and Ryan’s honesty and transparency.
So today we are starting a review of one of Exponential Bet’s other services, namely their In-Play Betting System.
The results of this system so far look extremely impressive, with over £640 profit made to just £10 stakes since March of this year.
That has been achieved with a 56% strike rate, so the majority of selections have been winners and the losing runs have been minimal so far.
Essentially the system is for betting on the horses in-play. It is recommended you use a bot to operate the system – any of Fairbot, BF Bot Manager or Bet Engine can be used. Personally we are using Bet Engine for the review because we are familiar with it and can be programmed to be “set and forget” for this system.
There is a list of selection criteria you need to go through each day to see which races qualify. Then you tell the bot which of the races to operate in and let it do its thing. This process may be automated in future so you don’t need to find the races, but for now you do.
It is worth pointing out that the system is currently in beta mode for testing purposes. Given the outstanding results achieved to date though we can’t see it being too long before it goes from beta into being officially launched.
In any event the good news is that you can still get access to the beta mode for a 25% discount at the moment so you don’t miss out on the excellent performance of the system.
Anyway, without further ado we will kick off the review and will report back here soon how things are going.

Overpriced Horse Tipsis a horse racing tipster from the Sports Betting Stars platform, with selections to be backed to win at one-point level stakes in UK and Irish races.
At first we were rather confused by the title of this tipster – we thought initially it referred to the tips being overpriced (or too expensive) but of course it refers to horses whose odds are higher than they should be.
That appeared to be an appropriate name given the results reported on their website coming into our trial, with over 750 points profit made at a return on investment of over 25%. Clearly they have shown an ability to identify value horses to back.
And our trial started off very well, going over 30 points up at advised prices early on.
Sadly though from mid-October onwards they hit something of a tough spell, finishing 23 points down at advised prices for the trial.
Here are the results for the trial in graph format:
As we say, whilst things started off well, there was a pretty steady decline from around the mid-point onward.
However, as we noted with another review we just completed, there was a big discrepancy between the results at advised prices and those at Betfair SP, with the latter making a profit of 23 points.
So whilst the results at advised prices are somewhat disappointing, with Betfair SP making a profit and more and more people using BSP for their horse racing bets these days, we feel like a NEUTRAL rating is fair in this instance.
Either way the results weren’t too dramatic so it’s one to watch for the time being in any event.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A pretty simple service to follow with an average of around one bet per day, normally sent out in the evening for the next day’s racing.
Availability of prices: There was not much of a problem in getting the advised prices and as discussed above, the Betfair SP results actually beat advised prices.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 11%, which is a little on the low side and would mean a degree of patience is required for following this service.
Advised Betting Bank: A 75 point betting bank is advised for following the service, which we think could be a little on the low side given that there was a 60-point drawdown from mid-September to the end of our trial. We think at least a 100 point bank should be advised for following the service.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are free for the first 14 days then £29.99/month, £79.99/quarter or £299.99/year.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
It was a slightly disappointing trial for Overpriced Horse Tips as we had been expecting something special from them based on past results. With a loss of 23 points to advised prices over the course of our six-month trial, it didn’t really live up to expectations.
However, a 23 point profit was made at Betfair SP for our trial which is encouraging so overall we feel this warrants a NEUTRAL rating and it’s a watching brief for now.
It’s been an interesting start to our trial of Overpriced Horse Tips. On the one hand, results at advised prices have been reasonable, with a profit of 4 points made so far.
However, the unusual thing here is that the Betfair SP results are actually considerable better, with a massive 58 points profit made so far.
The difference between the two is down in large part to one horse, Super Kid at Wolves, which was advised at 20/1 but won at a huge Betfair SP of 75!
That is probably something of an anomaly and it is unlikely you will see such a massive difference between the advised price and BSP very often. However, if you’d had Best Odds Guaranteed available to you then you would have got the 40/1 official SP, which is still a significant improvement over the advised 20/1.
Also a note that although we launched this review on 23rd September, we were actually started receiving the tips privately on 27th June so have recorded results from then on.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this one progresses and whether we continue to see such a strong performance at BSP going forward.
You could be forgiven for being a little confused over the name of the service we are starting a trial of today – and that is Overpriced Horse Tips.
At first we though they were suggesting the service is overpriced, which would be a little strange to suggest that they are overcharging people for their service. Then we realised however they meant that the horses the service picks tend to be overpriced – or higher odds than they should be. That makes a little more sense!
Little matter about our confusion though, what counts is how good the service is at making profit and by the looks of things, they are very, very good at that.
The service has been running since 2013 and in that time has made over 750 points profit to 1 point stakes, which is superb stuff and the kind of results that very few services have ever achieved.
The return on investment in that time has been over 26%, which is an exceptional level to have maintained over such a long period.
There are around 40 tips per month, which works out at just over one per day, so a pretty simple service to follow.
With average odds of 7/1 this is all about identifying value at decent odds rather than picking obvious favourites, as is the case with most successful horse racing tipsters we have come across over the years.
We have actually been following this privately for the last couple of months so can verify the results published on the website for that period are accurate.
We are genuinely excited about trialling this service as it has one of the best long-term records we have seen and could join those rare few top-level tipsters that consistently beat the bookies and deliver bumper profits for their members.
So without further ado we will get things underway and will report back here soon on how things are going.
Revolution Racing is a horse racing tipster from The Better Punter stable which is based down in Australia.
The Revolution Racing service provides tips in UK and Irish racing and is one of the premier tipsters on the platform.
This was a slightly difficult review to give a final verdict on as although the advised price results finished pretty much break even – with just one point profit in the end – the Betfair SP results finished with a profit of 68 points.
That is very unusual and whilst we always base our official results on the advised prices, it made us consider awarding this a passed rating.
Here are the results at BSP in graph form:
As you can see, after a difficult start it made nice progress moving well into profit by the end.
However, we have slight reservations in awarding this a passed rating as we don’t know whether the improved BSP results would be maintained in the long run and a large part of the difference between the two sets of results was from one winner, which made up 30 points difference.
The other thing to bear in mind is that with an average stake of 3 points per bet, the 68 points profit would equate to around 23 points profit at one point level stakes.
So all in all we feel like a NEUTRAL rating is fair in this instance, but with a proviso that if the strong BSP could be maintained in the long run this could be worth an upgrade to a passed rating.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A pretty easy service to follow with just one or two bets per day, usually sent in the morning of racing at around 10-11am.
Availability of prices: We didn’t experience any problems getting the advised prices and as discussed above, the Betfair SP results for our trial were actually better than the advised prices.
Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 35% (including placed horses), which is pretty decent for a horse racing service and meant a fairly steady flow of returns.
Advised Betting Bank: Although a bank wasn’t advised for following the service, we think a 300 point bank would be appropriate given the average stake of 3 points per bet.
Subscription costs: The service works on a pay-as-you-profit model and is quite complicated but in essence you end up paying a proportion of your winnings to The Better Punter as you go along.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
Our trial of Revolution Racing was quite an unusual one in that it produced better results at Betfair SP than it did at advised prices.
As we base our reviews on results achieved at advised prices, this would normally be a fairly straightforward NEUTRAL rating, as it finished with just one point profit at the end of our three month trial.
However, we feel it would be remiss not to recognise the 68 points profit made at Betfair SP, which is a decent return.
Whether that was just an anomaly though or can be maintained in the long run remains to be seen, but if it can this could well be worthy of an upgrade. Certainly a service that is profitable at BSP is a much sought-after commodity so it is worth keeping an eye on.
It’s been an impressive turnaround for Revolution Racing since our last update a month ago.
Back then they were 33 points down for our trial at advised prices, but with a haul of 57 points profit over the last month they are now 24 points up for the trial overall at advised prices.
What is even more notable however is that the results at Betfair SP are actually beating those at advised prices, with 78 points profit made since our last update and 57 points profit made for the trial overall.
Good to see the recent turnaround and let’s hope it continues for them.
It’s not been a great start to our trial of Revolution Racing unfortunately, with a loss of 34 points made so far to advised prices after one month of following the tips.
It’s not quite as bad however at Betfair SP, with a loss of 21 points made for our trial to date.
The one bright spot is that there has been an improvement over the last week or so, with over 25 points profit made, so hopefully that is the sign of a recovery.
We will find out if that proves to be the case when we provide our next update on the service.
Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing tipster from a tipster stable out of Australia called the Better Punter.
Whilst the tipster platform is Australian, the tipster in question actually concentrates on UK and Irish racing and they are called Revolution Racing.
The results published on their website look very encouraging, with over $32,000 profit made to $100 unit stakes.
That has been achieved with a healthy strike rate of 36% and a very respectable return on investment of 17%.
The profit graph looks highly impressive too, with nice solid movement upwards pretty much throughout:
Tips are provided by a chap called Stephen who uses a detailed ratings system along with a cleverly devised staking method to guide his selections.
The idea is to combine value, a solid strike rate & ROI with a discipline staking system and you have a well oiled machine that can put bookies to the wall year in year out.
That’s the theory anyway, but will it hold up under scrutiny?
Well that is what we are here to find out, so we will be undertaking a three month trial to see if they can deliver.
They have an interesting payment method for the tips, which are “pay as you win” rather than a monthly fee. So you only pay if you profit. Commission is 30% of your profit per week, that is all. If you don’t win, you don’t pay.
That sounds fair enough to us and we’re surprised in some ways that other services don’t follow such a model.
Some people prefer the pay as you win model and some prefer the monthly/quarterly subscription, it is down to your own personal choice really.
Anyway, just to note that we actually started receiving the tips on 22nd September so will record results from then onward.
You can check back here regularly for updates on how things are going.
In the meantime you can check out Revolution Racing here.

Ultimate Golf Tips is a golf betting specialist from the Tipsters Empire stable and provides selections in both PGA and European Tour events.
They started off our trial very well with some big priced winners at 20/1 and 16/1 and some good place finishes too, putting them nearly 100 points up at one stage.
Sadly though things went sharply downhill from mid-August onwards and they finished our trial with a loss of 93 points.
That represented nearly half of the 200 point bank and any members who joined in mid-August would have lost nearly the whole bank by now.
That’s the way it often goes in golf betting – where a long losing streak can be turned around by one big winner, but how long do you wait for that winner to come along?
For most people it would be too much to take to lose the best part of 100 or 200 points, so they would be out by now.
Whichever way you look at it though, a loss of 93 points over the course of a six month trial is a pretty disappointing return.
So it’s a FAILED rating from us unfortunately for Ultimate Golf Tips despite the promising start.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: As with most golf services, pretty straightforward to use with just a few bets per week, normally sent out on Tuesday and Wednesday with plenty of time to get the bets on.
Availability of prices: We didn’t experience any problem getting the advised prices and sometimes even beat them using Betfair.
Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 11%, which is actually fairly typical for a golf service but would need to be a little higher to generate some decent profits here.
Advised Betting Bank: A 200 point bank is advised for following the service, which if you joined at the wrong time would be almost gone now. We think a 300-400 point bank would be more appropriate.
Subscription costs: You can get a 90 day trial for £30 (new customers only), then the costs revert to £34.99 per month, £87.50 per quarter, £157.50 for 6 months or £279.99/year.
OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED
Unfortunately with a substantial loss of 93 points during our extended six-month trial, there is little option other than to award Ultimate Golf Tips a FAILED rating.
Following golf tipsters does take a lot of patience and a big betting bank, so it is worth bearing that in mind if you are going to follow this or any other golf service.
As we have said before losing runs like this are not unusual in golf when you are tipping at big odds and it takes nerves of steel to see them out.
But they are going to need a turnaround in form soon or we suspect there won’t be too many subscribers left to see any kind of improvement they do enjoy.
After a difficult August, the tough run continued in September for Ultimate Golf Tips unfortunately, with 31 points lost since our last update just over a month ago.
That means that after going 95 points up for the trial at one point, they are now pretty much back where they started at just 2 points up for our trial overall.
This has shown the typical nature of golf betting, which can often be a very up and down experience, with one big winner followed by weeks or even months of losing bets – and vice versa.
It is crucial to have a big betting bank and plenty of patience when following a golf tipster because this kind of experience is just par for the course really (if you’ll forgive the pun).
We are going to continue our trial of Ultimate Golf Tips because we have seen enough promise to believe they could turn out to be a top tipster and hopefully the last couple of months have just been a bump in the road to success.
We will see anyway, but we have a number of good events over the rest of the season to find out, not least the British Masters at Walton Heath which starts tomorrow and should be a cracking event to get stuck into.
The month started off well with a placed finish on Thorbjorn Olesen at the Bridgestone Invitational at 100/1, but after that there were slim pickings unfortunately.
Still, as we say they are still in profit overall so can’t complain too much and let’s hope they get back to winning ways in September.
The highlights so far include Francesco Molinari winning the Quicken Loans at 20/1, Alex Noren winning the Open de France at 16/1 and a couple of big place finishes at 150/1 and 80/1.
The service is also five out of five for its in-tournament bets, most notably on Sunday with Richard McEvoy tipped to triumph in the European Open at 11/2.
From reading the comments with the tips you can tell the provider of the service really knows their stuff and has a keen eye for value and which players to take on under pressure.
So far we are really liking the look of this tipster and think it could be a top service within the golf betting sphere.
We recently started a trial of a golf tipster after not having reviewed a new one for a while and as so often seems to be the case, almost immediately we have another one to look at.
This one is called Ultimate Golf Tips and it looks extremely promising. We have to say we haven’t had expectations this high heading into a trial for a while.
That’s partly because having started to send out the tips last week, they have not only gone and landed one winner, but actually two winners in their first week of tipping!
Those winners were Alex Noren in the Open de France, with a 2 point win bet at 16/1 netting 32 points profit and then Francesco Molinari at the Quicken Loans National at 20/1, also a 2 point win for 40 points profit.
Overall Ultimate Golf Tips made a very impressive 60 points profit on the week. What a start!
But that doesn’t seem to have just been a flash in the pan. The results over the last few months look excellent, with nearly 150 points profit having been at a return on investment of 74%.
And the man behind the service seems to really know his stuff too. Apparently he has been involved in golf betting personally for nearly three decades and has punted golf on a professional basis for nearly 15 years now.
He has worked with several bookmakers and odds compilers during this time and has connections to both the European Tour and the PGA Tour in America. He bets on each of the two main tours and has many contacts on each if he needs to find out course conditions, players form and many other variables; and he gives detailed reasoning and feedback on each selection.
From what we have seen so far and the detailed write-ups that go with the selections, this certainly seems to be the case and he clearly knows his stuff.
Anyway, we don’t want to get too carried away with building this one up and potentially jinx them, but it’s nice to have started off with some winners and it’s rare to find someone who seems to really have expertise in their field.
Let’s hope that turns into some consistent profits over the next few months of our trial. We will be carrying out an extended six month trial here to give it a fair chance as golf betting can be quite volatile when you are betting at high odds.
So please check back here for regular updates on how the trial is going.
It is now a year since we signed up to a contract to mine the cryptocurrency Monero with Genesis Mining and so it’s time to wrap up our review.
Basically Genesis Mining is a company that allows you to “mine” cryptocurrency – or in other words participate in verifying transactions on the blockchain and receive rewards for it. You receive a daily payout and can then transfer the proceeds from your Genesis account to another wallet and convert it to fiat currency (real money).
You can choose to mine a variety of cryptocurrencies but at the time we signed up Monero was the best available so that was the one we chose to mine.
The overall results are as follows:
Amount Invested: $819
Returns to Date: 1.83 Monero (current value = $82)
We still have a year left to run on our contract but even with that we are looking at a substantial loss here. Suffice to say this has been a disaster and one of the worst investments we have ever made.
The main problem in reality has been the crash in the cryptocurrency market that has affected the price of Monero (and just about all other cryptocurrencies).
At one stage, Monero was worth over $400 and at those prices we would have just about recouped our investment by now.
But alas it is currently worth just $45 and the returns have therefore been pitiful.
In terms of the mining itself, it has also been disappointing in that we were projected to receive 6 Monero per year at the start of our contract but have in fact received less than 2 so far.
This is in large part down to increases in the “difficulty” of mining – or in other words more people participating in mining thus reducing the slice of the pie that each person gets.
So there isn’t much left to say other than that this receives an epic FAILED rating from us and is not something we could recommend to anyone.
Looking at the bigger picture, cryptocurrency had an astonishing run last year and those who got in early enough would have made a lot of money, but in reality it is a highly speculative market with most coins having no underlying value and many having no purpose.
It has also been a magnet for scammers and spammers of all kinds which has further tarnished cryptocurrency’s reputation and damaged its long-term prospects.
Will the current slide in the market continue or will cryptocurrency someday recover its lustre?
Who knows, it is anyone’s guess really. But the wild ride experienced over the last couple of years should be a salutary lesson to everyone involved about the risks of participating in an unregulated investment and just how much markets can be driven by hype and hyperbole rather than fundamental value.
No doubt someone will write a book about the whole thing at some point, but for the time being we are definitely out of the crypto markets and anything related to them.
It’s been a while since we updated our ill-fated investment in the cryptocurrency scheme Genesis Mining so we thought high time for an update.
The main news is that we have now mined one Monero in total, which is the equivalent of around $121 at the time of writing. That is from an initial investment of $819.
Last time we reported that Genesis would no longer be able to mine Monero and would be mining other coins instead and converting them to Monero for those of us holding Monero contracts.
Well that all seems to have worked reasonably well, with payouts having resumed and actually increased over the last few days to around 0.006 Monero per day, which is the equivalent of around 2 Monero per year.
However, that is still well below the initial payouts we were receiving when our contract started and nowhere near enough to pay back our initial investment, unless Monero skyrockets in price at some point.
In that case though we would still have been better to just hold Monero originally rather than invest in mining, so either way this is looking like a dead duck and perhaps one of the worst investments we have ever made.
Well our investment in Genesis Mining has descended into farce since our last update.
Firstly, they have set a minimum payout level of 0.4 Monero, in what seems to us a completely arbitrary and unnecessary move. They don’t even show how much Monero we have mined, so we can’t even update our figures here.
Secondly, Monero is undergoing a fork and will switch to a new algorithm, meaning Genesis won’t even be able to mine it anymore. They say it’s ok, they will switch to “mining the best coins available and converting them to Monero for you.” But forgive us if we are a little sceptical.
Finally, the returns from mining have crashed so badly it’s probably all irrelevant anyway.
So the bottom line here is that it looks like we would have been better just buying some Monero at the outset and holding it rather than investing in mining.
We certainly wouldn’t advise anyone to invest in cryptocurrency mining from Genesis or anybody else for the time being, unless things radically change. The bubble has well and truly burst.
We have earned another 0.08 Monero with Genesis Mining since our last update, which means we have now mined 0.81 Monero in total.
Unfortunately they have had problems with recording the payments so we aren’t able to update the daily results.
But the current situation is that we are earning around 0.004 Monero per day, compared to around 0.016 at the outset, so a massive drop.
This is due to the mining difficulty increasing, which is indicative of more and more people entering the mining game, so the mining rewards are shared among a greater number of people.
It’s not surprising really when you have something that’s so profitable and the barriers to entry are as low that every man and his dog wants a piece of the action.
The reality is that if the difficulty keeps increasing then we will end up mining pretty much zero Monero and it will be pointless.
At the moment it is looking like it probably would have been better to just buy six Monero with our $800 at the outset rather than buy a mining contract, because it looks very unlikely we are going to end up with more than six Monero. That is just how the cookie crumbles sometimes though, at the time it looked like a very profitable endeavour.
Anyway, we will keep on monitoring things and see if there is any way to improve our returns going forward.
We have earned another 0.23 Monero from our Genesis Miningcontract, which means we have now mined 0.73 Monero in total since our contract started in November.
For some reason on our Genesis Mining account there are a few days missing, which means the total on our spreadsheet is less than we have actually mined. We have contacted Genesis Mining to ask them why that is the case.
Anyway, the 0.73 Monero we have mined so far would be quite good, apart from the fact that the recent cryptocurrency market crash has meant the price of Monero is back down to just $193 whereas it was over $400 a month ago!
Whilst that is disappointing, at the same time prices may well bounce back over the next few months, so unless you are wanting to cash out your earnings then it shouldn’t really be a problem.
Just a reminder that our original investment was $819, so we are nearly a quarter of the way to recouping our investment already.
As you can see from the results, the amount of Monero we are mining each day has dropped quite a lot since the start of the contract (by about half), but that is just a reflection of the price of Monero having more than doubled in that time, so the difficulty of the mining has increased and the two things pretty much cancel each other out.
Anyway, we are quite pleased with this as a passive income stream and once we have earned enough Monero, we could consider reinvesting it into more mining power to increase our earnings exponentially.
That time is quite a way off so we will have to wait and see what we do then, but it is a case of so far so good withGenesis Mining.
We are a couple of weeks into our investment withGenesis Miningand so far things have been going well.
We have mined 0.218 Monero so far, which equates to around $45 at the time of writing with Monero priced at $205 per coin. Our investment at the start was $819.
If the current rates continued, then we would end up with approximately 11.5 Monero at the end of our 2-year contract, which would be a return of around $2,340.
Things aren’t likely to stay at the same rate in terms of the amount of Monero mined though, because as the price goes up, the mining difficulty also goes up and you end up mining less coin.
Roughly speaking though the two things should even themselves out.
Either way, it’s looking like an excellent passive income investment so far as we haven’t had to do anything – just sit back and watch the Monero roll in. Good stuff.
Here at Honest Betting Review we have recently moved into the cryptocurrency space in the hope of landing some of the phenomenal returns that have been generated in it.
As well as buying some Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, we have also participated in ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) of companies like Electroneum and joined lending platforms such as Bitconnect.
Now we are investing in the mining of cryptocurrencies, another way to potentially profit from the crypto world.
We recently started a review of the BitClub Network and will be mining some Bitcoin through that platform.
And today we are starting a new trial of another mining platform called Genesis Mining.
Just in case you aren’t familiar with the idea of mining crytocurrencies, basically what it entails is using considerable computing power to verify transactions made using Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and to ensure their smooth functioning.
For providing these services, miners are provided with a share of the coin that is generated. This can be very lucrative if the coin being mined is valuable, for example with Bitcoin being worth over $7,000 currently.
Genesis Mining has been around for three years and is a reputable and well-known mining company. They apparently have over a million members and are the world’s leading cloud mining platform.
They have a level of transparency often absent from the crypto space, with members able to view their mining farms and there are a number of videos showing their mining operations in action.
By investing in a company like Genesis Mining, you are essentially renting the mining hardware for a fixed period for a given fee.
Then however much coin is mined each day is paid directly to you, which you can withdraw, invest in more mining or convert to another cryptocurrency.
Some of the advantages of Genesis Mining are that:
– The mining equipment is already set up so you can start earning straight away
– You can mine a range of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Monero and Zcash.
– You can choose your payouts in different cryptocurrencies from the one mined in
– You can start mining with as little as $28
– You can pay by credit card so don’t need to go through the complex process of buying a cryptocurrency first
So all in all Genesis Mining looks like a very good offering and one we are looking forward to testing.
Unfortunately at the moment all their Bitcoin mining contracts are sold out, so having done some research we think the next best coin to mine at the moment is Monero.
So we have bought a Monero contract of 1000 H/s for $819.
The H/s is the mining power you are getting – the more powerful, the more coin you will mine.
Using the calculator at cryptocompare it estimates we would receive $825 profit per year, which would work out as a return on investment of over 200% over the 2-year lifetime of the contract.
However, that doesn’t account for the potential increase in the price of Monero over that time, nor for the potential to reinvest some of the earnings into more mining power.
So for example if we mined six Monero coins per year and the price of the coin doubled each year, we would actually receive $4680 worth of Monero and a return on investment of nearly 600%.
Of course, the price of Monero could actually drop and the difficulty of the mining could increase (reducing the amount of coin mined) so these numbers are just rough estimates really, but they give you some guidance as to what is possible anyway.
We will probably look to mine some other coins with Genesis Mining as well. It isn’t clear when Bitcoin will be available again, so we may mine some Ethereum and Litecoin in the meantime.
As we say with all cryptocurrency-related investments, if you are thinking of investing in this please only risk money you can afford to lose. Although Genesis Mining looks about as solid and legitimate as it gets in the crypto world, there is still a risk things could go wrong and you could lose your investment.
Anyway, in terms of th review we will update progress here regularly so you can see how we are doing with our mining.
This is a re-review of Football Advisor Lays for us, having previously reviewed the service back in 2017 when we gave it a neutral rating after it finished with a profit of 7 points.
This time round we gave it an extended seven month review to really give the service a proper look.
At the end of that extended trial we have finished with a profit of 23 points, which is decent going.
However, it is worth bearing in mind that the total of 23 points combines the results from both the lay wins and the draw lays.
Taking them separately, the lay wins made a profit of 37 points where as the draw lays made a loss of 14 points.
So really it looks like the lay wins are the ones to focus on – and they were the original offering of the service after all so perhaps that’s not surprising. And in fact they have recently “retired” the draw lays so in fact it is now just the win lays being provided.
Combining the results of the lay wins this time with those of last time gives a combined total of 44 points profit, which is pretty good going when you consider you are laying at 1 point level stakes.
The strike rate for our trial was high at just under 80% and the ROI respectable too at 7%.
So in view of all that we think the service warrants a PASSED rating, particularly if you just focus on the win lays.
They have shown consistency over a lengthy period of time and that is what we look for when judging a service. Making a profit through laying is notoriously difficult so we are always impressed when a service manages it.
The added bonus with Football Advisor Lays is that you can place all the bets on Betfair and don’t need to rely on bookie accounts.
All in all then it is a service well worth considering adding to your portfolio.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A very simple service to use and that is certainly a plus point. There is an average of just one bet per day, although this tends to work out as having lots of bets at weekends and then some weekdays and international breaks with none. Tips are normally sent out early in the morning (UK time) and you will need access to an exchange (e.g. Betfair, Smarkets) to place the lay bets.
Availability of prices: Most of the time the liquidity held up well, certainly in the big leagues like the Premiership and La Liga etc, although sometimes prices do get pushed in on the smaller leagues.
Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 79%, which is good but actually lower than the historical average for the service which stands at 86% according to their results.
Advised Betting Bank: An 80-100 point bank is advised for following the service, which should be more than sufficient to cover losing runs. The longest draw-down to date has been 21 points.
Subscription costs: The costs are £50 per month, £125 per quarter, £225 for 6 months or £400/year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
This is a re-review of Football Advisor Lays after having reviewed it last year and we are pleased to report that after a second look we are upgrading this from a neutral to a PASSED rating.
With a combined profit of 44 points across our two reviews when betting on the win lays only, this has established a strong record over a lengthy period of time and clearly has an edge on the markets when it comes to laying.
So if this isn’t already part of your portfolio then you may well want to consider adding it at the earliest opportunity.
[Please note there are two tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet for their two separate systems – the win lays and draw lays].
The broad numbers don’t tell the full story however, as the win lays are 22 points up for our trial, whilst the draw lays are actually 11 points down.
Just a reminder that this is a laying system where you place the bets on Betfair (or your exchange of choice). There is no trading needed – just place the lays and then leave them.
Anyway, let’s hope for some upward progress by the time of our next update.
[Please note there are two tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet for their two separate systems – the win lays and draw lays].
The broad numbers don’t tell the full story however, as the win lays are 27 points up for our trial, whilst the draw lays are actually 15 points down.
So it’s looking like the win lays are the ones to follow based on the results of our trial to date, but we will obviously keep a close eye on things to see if that remains to be the case.
[Please note there are two tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet for win lays and draw lays – although the draw lays appear to have been paused for the moment].
It’s nice when you get runs like this in lay betting, with 12 of the last 13 selections successful since our last update, so the profit builds nicely.
Let’s see if that continues once the football season kicks off again in a couple of weeks.
[Please note there are two tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet for win lays and draw lays – although the draw lays appear to have been paused for the moment].
There have been a few selections for the World Cup but it has been a bit of minefield for punters with so many surprising results so far.
Anyway, let’s hope Football Advisor Lays can back to winning ways by the time of our next update.
However, that doesn’t tell the whole story as there are two sets of lays – win lays and draw lays (which you can view via the two tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet) and the former have done very well, with 13 points won, whilst the latter have lost 7 points.
That is in tune with the longer-term trend as well, with the win lays having made 282 points profit, whilst the draw lays are much newer and have made just 9 points profit overall.
So it looks like the win lays are the ones to concentrate on here.
Anyway, with the season over it is going to be a little quiet now until the World Cup starts when we should see plenty more action.
Following on from launching our review of FA Racing Lays last week, today we are turning our attention to another Football Advisor service.
This is one we actually reviewed last year and gave a neutral rating to after it finished our trial with a profit of 7 points.
However, given that we will now be taking a look at all the Football Advisor services, we thought it would only be fair to take a look at this one again too.
Plus when we did our original review last year, they apparently had an issue with the ratings they use and that negatively affected the results during our trial.
So we are happy to take another look at this one and to do a re-review of the service.
Just to recap, these are lay bets on football matches (both in the win market and draw market) across various leagues.
You just need to lay the bets on Betfair (or your exchange or choice) and that is it, you are done.
The results for the service look excellent, with over 50 points profit made since our trial ended in October and 283 points profit made overall since the service started.
That has come with a strike rate of over 84%, so a very high proportion of successful lays.
We are looking forward to trialling this one and to seeing how it gets on. As usual results will be recorded here for you to check.
We originally reviewed Football Advisor’s main backing service back in September last year and gave it a neutral rating after it ended our trial with 8 points of profit.
Now we have just finished trialing their football lays service and we feel like we are repeating ourselves somewhat, but the results have been remarkably similar.
After a three month trial we have finished with 7 points of profit, which again isn’t bad by any means and we are happy to finish any trial in profit to be honest.
The strike rate was a healthy 75%, so the vast majority of lays are successful.
The return on investment (ROI) was a little on the low side at 1.7%. Although you expect ROI to be much lower with laying services than backing ones, we would still like to have seen that ROI a little higher.
The bets are straightforward lay bets in the match odds market and come in a variety of leagues across the world.
So for example you will get an e-mail like this:-
Lays Bristol Rovers at 4.30 with Betfair (League One / Portsmouth)
It is then very simply a case of placing a lay bet at your exchange of choice and then you are done.
Looking at how the trial progressed, it started off well before hitting a very sticky patch in the middle. Apparently they had a technical issue with the ELO ratings meaning they were producing the wrong selections for a part of August.
Once they revised their selection process it certainly seemed to pay off, with a run of 20 straight successful lays at the end.
As you can see from the graph below, it was a roller-coaster ride!
In total we ended up with bank growth of 9% by the conclusion of the trial, which is a respectable total.
But it didn’t quite hit the heights necessary to warrant an approved rating, so for the time being we feel a NEUTRAL rating is fair for Football Advisor Lays.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A very simple service to use and that is certainly a plus point. There is an average of just one bet per day, although this tends to work out as having lots of bets at weekends and then some weekdays and international breaks with none. Tips are normally sent out early in the morning (UK time) and you will need access to an exchange (e.g. Betfair, Smarkets) to place the lay bets.
Availability of prices: Most of the time the liquidity held up well, certainly in the big leagues like the Premiership and La Liga etc, although sometimes prices do get pushed in on the smaller leagues.
Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 75%, which is good but actually lower than the historical average for the service which stands at 86% according to their results.
Advised Betting Bank: An 80-100 point bank is advised for following the service, which should be more than sufficient to cover losing runs. The longest draw-down to date has been 21 points.
Subscription costs: The costs are £47 per month, £112 per quarter or £188 for 6 months, which if the pre-trial results were repeated would be a fair cost.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
We tend to like services that are simple to follow and don’t rely on complex methodologies, ratcheted staking systems or wild hype to justify their existence, so we were looking forward to trialing Football Advisor Lays, which provides simple lay bets in the match odds market.
It is a very simple service to follow and the results prior to our trial looked mighty impressive.
In the trial itself, a profit of 7 points was made, which isn’t bad at all but we feel wasn’t quite high enough to warrant an approved rating, so we are giving it a NEUTRAL rating at this stage.
Given that our trial started in the Summer months when there are less fixtures and taking into account the way things picked up towards the end with a 20-match winning streak and the pre-trial results, this is a service we would like to keep an eye on as to whether it warrants an upgrade.
It could have actually been much better as they were on a run of 10 winners in a row before they just hit a couple of losers at 5.2 and 4.6.
After the bad spell at the end of August, they had a look at their selection process and concluded:
“The custom team ratings that we use as part of our multi layered selection criteria is a bespoke adaption of the ELO rating model. Regretfully there were some issues with combining the end of season rating with the new season rating, which resulted in what we saw for the last two weeks.
The good news though is that we are confident that we have now fixed this and we have run 100’s of simulations to test this to be sure.”
Results seem to be trending in the right direction, so let’s hope they have sorted things!
Jon who runs the service has apologised for the recent run, which is appreciated as a subscriber – certainly lots of tipsters don’t even bother saying sorry for a poor run. He is also taking a few days off to review the recent results and see where things have gone wrong.
Hopefully he will find the solution and be back on form shortly.
This is a service that advises lays in the match odds market on Betfair. Odds can be quite high, up to 9.0 so far, meaning a decent sized bank is required when following the service.
It has been fairly quiet thus far in terms of bets as we have been in the off season, but with the season getting underway now we should volume pick up.
They say one good turn deserves another. So after recently launching a trial of a Football Advisor service (their racing one), we decided we would start another trial.
It is relatively new, having launched in November 2016 but has established a very favourable record since then.
They capped their initial membership at 50 and over 90% of those original members are apparently still with the 7 months on and for good reason;
– 226 bets since November 2016 – 191 winners at a strike rate of 84.5% – Average lay odds of 5.3 – 38.95 units profit after commission – Largest drawdown of 23.35 units – A record busting 35 winning lay bets in a row
The full 2016/17 season brought in 64.19 units at a similar performance level. Since 2013, their approach has apparently made over 211 units profit.
Now it isn’t a normal time to be starting a trial of a football system with it being the middle of Summer, but the service still has a good number of bets on the Summer leagues and we are only just over a month away from the start of the full season anyway.
We are yet to find too many good laying services, but this one looks interesting so well worth running a review of in our opinion.
We will follow the bets for three months (or until we reach at least 100 bets) and will update results here regularly during the trial.
The Strict Rule System is a tipster from the respected Tipstrr platform of betting systems and tipsters.
The name is suggestive of a systems-based approach but this is in fact more of a straightforward tipping service. The idea of “strict rules” is more that they will only back a horse if it meets the strict rules they set to qualify for a bet, but that comes after form study which is the bedrock of the approach. So the rules keep them disciplined and sticking to clear criteria.
The results during our three month trial were very good, with a profit of 161 points made to advised prices.
The Betfair SP results ended up pretty close to the advised prices, with a profit of 147 points made.
It should be noted that the average stake during our trial was 7 points per bet, meaning that to 1 point stakes the profit would have been approximately 23 points profit.
That is still pretty decent however and came at a very respectable return on investment of 21% and strike rate of 32% (including placed horses).
Below you can see the results for the trial in graph format:
As you can see, although there were a few ups and downs it made a solid profit overall.
It’s a pretty simple service to follow, with an average of just one bet per day – although as with most horse racing services that tends to mean more on weekends and less earlier in the week.
Overall then we are pleased to award The Strict Rule System a PASSED rating after a successful three month trial.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: A pretty simple service to follow with an average of around one bet per day, normally sent out late at night for the next day’s racing.
Availability of prices: There was not much of a problem in getting the advised prices and the Betfair SP results ended up pretty similar to the advised price results, with just 14 points difference between them.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 32% (including placed horses), which is a pretty good level to have maintained.
Advised Betting Bank: A 500 point betting bank is advised for following the service, which we think could be a little on the low side given that there has been a month with a loss of 165 points in the past. With staking at 7 points per bet on average, we would think a 700 point bank would be more suitable here.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are€25/week, €47/month or €109/quarter.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
With a solid profit of 161 points made during our trial at a return on investment of over 20%, The Strict Rule System has proved its mettle and earned a PASSED rating from us.
It’s a nice simple service to follow and with a good strike rate of over 30%, there is a good deal to like about the service.
This is one we will be keeping an eye on for the long run to see if it can maintain a strong body of results.
The results at Betfair SP having been holding up well against the advised prices, with 53 points profit made since our last update and 137 points profit made overall.
Just another reminder that the staking here is quite high with an average of 7 points per bet, meaning that they would be approximately 21 points up at one point level stakes. But that is still very good and has been achieved very steadily over our trial.
Horse racing tipster The Strict Rule System has been on good form since our last update just over a month ago, with 76 points profit made at advised prices in that time.
That means they are now 77 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.
At Betfair SP they are actually doing slightly better, with 96 points profit made since our last update and 84 points profit made for the trial overall.
As we mentioned last time, the staking is between 4 and 10 points per bet, with the average being 7 points, so that is worth bearing in mind when looking at the results.
Still, good stuff from them and let’s hope for more of the same going forward.
It’s been an up and down start to our trial of horse racing service The Strict Rule System, which went into big profit early on but has since fallen back to be just 1 point up so far at advised prices.
At Betfair SP it is actually in deficit for our trial, with 12 points lost so far.
The staking system utilises staking between 6 and 10 points placed on each selection, so that is worth bearing in mind when looking at the results (please note this update previously had Tipstrr’s staking which is unit based on £/€/$ etc so that was not the staking system used by the service itself, which as we say is 6-10 points).
Most of the bets come in Irish racing which is unusual but nice to have a bit of variety as most of the services we follow concentrate on UK racing.
So things pretty much even here so far but early days and plenty of time to get moving in the right direction again.
Today we are going to take a look at a new tipster from the reputable Tipstrr platform and this one is called theStrict Rule System.
It is a horse racing service and although we don’t get details of what the rules behind the system actually are, apparently it is run by a guy called Edward, whose trialled and tested horse racing system has become a staple of the Tipstrr platform.
Edward likes to prioritise helping members improve their level of knowledge with regards to horse racing and giving them all the tools they need to win.
The system appears to work very well, with close to 1800 points profit made since the service started around a year ago.
That has been made with a return on investment of over 17% which is pretty decent and the strike rate is over 32%, which is fairly solid.
There is certainly something to be said for strategies that follow clear rules as it takes out the element of human emotion and bias that can affect the objectivity of some gamblers.
Whether it ends up making profit under live trial conditions remains to be seen but we will find out soon enough.
So we will kick off a standard three month trial and will report back soon on how things are going.
