Footy Doubles – Full Review

 

Footy Doubles is, as the name suggests, a football tipping service which provides doubles to back across various world leagues. It comes from the reputable Betting Gods tipster stable.

There is on average just one bet per day, although sometimes this means you will get two or three one day and then none the next.

The trial finished with an excellent profit of 44 points, which represented a 44% increase in the bank when using a 100 point bank.

Here you can see the progress of Footy Doubles over the course of the trial:

Footy Doubles Profit Graph

After a little bit of a slow start it quickly moved into profit and stayed there for the remainder of the trial. 

It is notoriously difficult to make a profit in football so we are happy to have found a tipster who has passed a three month trial.

And with a return on investment of 14%, which is very impressive in football terms, plus a solid strike rate of 48%, there is much to like about the service.

Overall then we are happy to award Footy Doubles a PASSED rating and is one we will be continuing to monitor in the hope they can keep up the excellent results achieved during the trial. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: A pretty easy service to follow, with an average of one double per day. Tips are sent in the evening for matches the next day, so plenty of time to get the bets on.     

Availability of prices: We didn’t have any trouble getting the advised prices, although to get those you will need access to bookies like Marathonbet, 188Bet, Bet Stars etc who seem to offer better odds these days than the traditional bookies.

Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 48%, so very solid and meaning nearly half the bets were winners. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point bank was advised for the trial and that seems reasonable. Bear in mind though that staking is between 1 and 6 points, with the average being 2.7 points, so a little higher than your average footy service. 

Subscription costs: The costs to sign up are £1 for 30 days then £39.95 per month, £99.95 per quarter or £479.95 for a lifetime subscription. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

There is a real dearth of top quality football tipping services so we are always pleased to find a new one of promise.

Footy Doubles fits that bill with a healthy 44 points of profit during our trial at a return on investment of over 14%.

With strong results like those Footy Doubles is worthy of a PASSED rating is certainly one to consider adding to the portfolio.

We will be keeping an eye on it to see if it can replicate those results over the long term.

As the name suggests, this service focuses on finding value double bets to be placed on the football. A wide variety of leagues are used – everything from China to the USA to all over Europe. 

A very simple service to follow then with just one bet per day and so far results have been in the right direction.

Back soon with more updates.

Footy Doubles – New Review

25th July 2017

With the start of the footy season just a couple of weeks away, it seems like a good time to start a trial of a new football tipster.

The tipster in question is called Footy Doubles and comes from the reputable tipster platform Betting Gods.

Footy Doubles is showing a decent return having been achieved to date, with a profit of 65 points since March of this year. That would equate to over £650 profit to £10 stakes. 

That has been achieved with a strike rate of bang on 50% – so exactly half the bets have been winners.

The return on investment so far has been a healthy 13%, which is very respectable in football tipping where we expect a benchmark of around 10%.

Interestingly, the service is not just about placing one double bet per day. Often there will be four selections per day, which you combine into six doubles. On other days there are three selections, which you combine into three doubles.

The key thing is that all bets are doubles, that is the main feature of the betting advice.

As with all Betting Gods services, the good news is that you can get a 30 day trial for just £1, which is a good way to test out the tips and see if they are for you.

We will run our normal three month trial here and will update results here periodically as the trial progresses.

In the meantime you can check out Footy Doubles here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hat Trick Hero – Final Review

We have completed our six month trial of Hat Trick Hero and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:    -5 points 
Strike Rate:   29%
Bank Growth:     -10%
ROI:   -3%
Average number of bets:     One per day
Cost:    £1 for 30 days then £39.95/month, £99/quarter or £479.95/year  
VERDICT:   NEUTRAL

Hat Trick Hero – Full Review

 

Hat Trick Hero is a mixed sports tipster that provides one treble bet per day. Most of these are in football but they also cover a range of other sports including tennis, basketball, baseball and more.

We have followed the service for an extended period of six months so have had a good chance to see if it could deliver the goods.

So how did it get on?

Well things started off pretty well and we did go 14 points up at one stage, but eventually in the end we finished the trial 5 points down.

You can see a visual representation of how things went in the graph below:

Hat Trick Hero Profit Graph

Using a 50 point bank to follow the service that represented a 10% loss of the bank, not terrible but not brilliant either.

So overall we think Hat Trick Hero is deserving of a NEUTRAL rating. It made a small loss but nothing to get too concerned over.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: A super-easy service to follow with just one treble per day, so it shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes to place the bet each day and you are done.     

Availability of prices: We didn’t have any trouble getting the advised prices. Anthony who runs the service gives prices from a range of bookies so you can see which price to take if the best one isn’t available. 

Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 29%, which is solid enough but ideally would need to be a little higher to turn a profit at the average prices of selections so far.  

Advised Betting Bank: We used a 50 point bank for following the service, which seemed reasonable given the strike rate and was never in jeopardy.

Subscription costs: The costs to sign up are £1 for 30 days then £39.95 per month, £99 per quarter or £479.95 per year. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Hat Trick Hero is a nice simple concept of a treble bet each day on a variety of different sports.

The trial started off well and went nicely into profit, but gradually things slipped over the remainder of the trial and we finished 5 points down in the end.

Although that was a loss, it was only a small one so we think a NEUTRAL rating is fair for Hat Trick Hero.

Not a service we will be adding to our portfolio at the moment but one to keep an eye on in any event.

 

 

 

 

Hat Trick Hero – Results Update

21st September 2017

We seem to be saying this a lot lately – but is has been a tough time for Hat Trick Hero since our last update.

Yes it seems a lot of tipsters are struggling in their trials at the moment unfortunately.

Multi-sports tipster Hat Trick Hero has lost 19 points since our last update, putting him on 7 points down for the trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

We aren’t sure why so many tipsters are struggling at the moment, must be just one of those strange periods that happen occasionally.

Hopefully things will pick up soon, both for the Hat Trick Hero and for other tipsters are are trialing. 

 

 

 

 

Hat Trick Hero – Results Update

22nd August 2017

It was a particularly good week last week with three trebles being hit, so hopefully that is a sign of the service getting into its stride with the new footy season getting away.

Hat Trick Hero – Results Update

16th May 2017

Hat Trick Hero is a multi-sports tipster that bets solely on trebles – just one treble a day to be precise.

It is a super-simple service to follow and so far has had a quiet start to our trial here at Honest Betting Reviews.

After just over a month of proofing the tips, we are 1 point up to advised prices.

You can view full results here.

So nothing too dramatic either way so far for the Hat Trick Hero, but let’s hope we have more positive news to report at the time of our next update.

 

 

Hat Trick Hero – New Review

13th April 2017

Regular followers of Honest Betting Reviews will know one of our favourite services is the tipster platform Betting Gods.

They have provided some of the best tipsters we have come across, including Quentin Franks Racing, Master Racing Tipster and the Golf Betting Expert.

However, it has been a while since a new tipster made it through Betting Gods’ rigorous proofing process and made it onto their website.

Such are the difficulties of making money from betting that whilst many will try, the cold hard statistics are that only around 2% will manage it.

The good news though is that one tipster has made it through the gruelling testing process at Betting Gods and is now live on the site.

The tipster in question is called Hat Trick Hero and has a very impressive-looking record.

The tips come in a range of sports, mainly on football but also on US sports and tennis.

Although you may be forgiven for thinking the tips are bets on people to score hat-tricks in games, it is actually all about treble bets.

Each day you receive one treble bet to place and that is it.

So a very easy service to follow and a simple to understand.

You are given a range of bookie prices for the bet, with the best available and the next best two, so you should have a good chance of matching the advised prices or getting close to them.

As we mentioned, the results so far are very impressive, with over 80 points profit made to 1 point level stakes on each treble since starting the service on 1st January this year – or over £800 to just £10 stakes.

That translates into an awesome return on investment of over 84%, which means for every £1 invested in the service, you would have made 84p profit so far (plus of course got your £1 back!).

As with all Betting Gods services, you can get the first month’s tips for just £1, which is a good way of testing the service for yourself. 

We have been proofing the tips for a week now, so we will record results from when we started receiving the tips and run our normal three month trial.

We will report back soon on how things are going for the Hat Trick Hero and hopefully it will be positive news.

Until then, you can check out the Hat Trick Hero for yourself here.

Gold Signals – Final Review

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

We have reached the end of our seven month trial of Gold Signals from 123 Free Signals and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:    -35 pips
Strike Rate:   45%
Bank Growth:     -18%
ROI:   -11%
Average number of trades:    5 per month 
Cost:   $89/year
VERDICT:   FAILED
Rating:  

 

You can view full results here.

 

Gold Signals – Full Review

 

Gold Signals is a gold trading service from the people behind 123Freesignals.com, a service we have reviewed here at Honest Betting Reviews and given a passed rating to. 

They don’t select the gold signals themselves, those originate from someone else, but the 123 team send out the signals to members who have paid for the gold signals service.

To sign up, you will need to contact the 123freesignals team – or use this link. 

It is a very simple service to follow, with on average just 5 signals per month. 

As a member you will receive an e-mail like this:

BUY GOLD $1267 – $1268
STOP $1252
PROFIT $1296

So you would then just buy gold at the recommended price of $1267-$1268, put in your stop loss at $1252 and your take profit price at $1296 and then leave it to run – until it either closes or you are given further instructions.

For example you may receive another e-mail shortly afterwards saying:

GOLD HOLD, MOVE SL TO ENTRY

So you are advised to move your stop loss to the entry level – in this instance the price would have moved in a favourable direction.

We were optimistic coming into this trial on the basis of the results achieved by 123Freesignals and were hopeful that things would turn similarly well for the gold signals.

Unfortunately though they have ended up somewhat disappointing, with a loss of 35 pips being made.

We used 10 points (or pounds in our case) per pip, which sounds like a lot but actually when most signals have a potential move of 10-20 pips, it isn’t actually very much and some people no doubt are using considerably higher stakes than that.

In any event, we feel that for a seven-month period, making a 35 pip loss isn’t too good and it is a narrow FAILED rating from us.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: A very simple service to use which is good news. With just 5 signals per month on average, the time commitment needed here is extremely low.   

Availability of prices: The prices did tend to move quite quickly from when the signals are sent, which can be any time, to us getting the trade on. That meant we often missed the recommended price, so our results are a little worse than the official ones. 

Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 45%, which on the face of it is good but would obviously need to be higher to make a profit, probably above 50%.

Advised Betting Bank: We used a 200 pip bank for following the service, which seemed reasonable given the strike rate and average risk level. 

Subscription costs: The costs are $89 per year, which is very reasonable. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

Gold is one of those seductive commodities that you can’t help but be drawn to. It has an enduring quality and feel that has appealed to people from across the world and throughout history. 

So we were rather drawn to the prospect of a service that trades in gold signals, perhaps partly because there aren’t many gold services out there and perhaps also just because its general allure.

We also had high expectations given that it comes from 123freesignals, whom we have a lot of respect for.

It is therefore a little disappointing to finish with a loss of 35 pips (or 345 points in our case), particularly after following the service for 7 months.

So we are forced to award this a narrow FAILED rating as we cannot recommend it at this time. Hopefully results will pick up over time and if they do we will update this review.

By the way, if you do want to sign up, you will need to contact the 123freesignals team – or use this link.

Still not much positive news to report for Gold Signals from 123 Free Signals unfortunately, with more losses since our last update.

We have a lost a further 170 pips since our last update, meaning we are now 505 pips down for the trial overall.

We have been following the signals for coming up to six months now, so will wrap things up here shortly.

17th August 2017

It continues to be a bit of a struggle for Gold Signals from 123 Free Signals, which have lost a further 200 pips since our last update just over a month ago.

That means we are now 335 pips down for the trial overall.

You can view full results here.

You could say we have been a little unlucky, with a couple of trades that were doing well before the Trump/North Korea situation developed and sent them to a loss.

There also appeared to be some e-mail problems from their end so we may have missed a trade or two. 

In any event, we are not quite seeing the returns we had hoped for here, but things can always turn around and let’s hope they do soon.

Gold Signals – Results Update

12th July 2017

A quiet time lately for Gold Signals from 123 Free Signals, with our last five trades ending up being cancelled.

Since our last update we have lost 140 pips, although we did seem to miss one profitable trade due to e-mail problems.

Overall for the trial we are now 135 pips down after three and a half months.

You can view full results here.

The gold price has dropped quite considerably over the last month, so a few sells would have done well but obviously that is with the benefit of hindsight!

Hopefully we will see a few more completed trades this month and some movement in the right direction.

Gold Signals – Results Update

30th May 2017

It’s been a tricky trading period for Gold Signals from 123 Free Signals, with quite a bit of volatility in the markets leading to a 90 point loss since our last update.

That means we are now 5 points in profit for the trial as a whole, trading at £10 per pip.

You can view full results here.

As we mentioned previously, this is a fairly low volume service, with only 14 signals given since we started following the service two months ago.

Overall then we are more or less where we started at around break even. Hopefully things will pick up for Gold Signals now.

Gold Signals – Results Update

5th May 2017

It’s been a steady – if unspectacular – start to our trial of Gold Signals from 123 Free Signals.

Since starting on 27th March, the service has only provided 10 signals, so this is a low volume service.

The good news though is that we are in profit – having made 95 points profit to 10 pounds per pip (or £10 per dollar in the case of gold). 

You can view full results here.

It is worth mentioning that you may have done slightly better than us if you had been following the service, depending on how quickly you had got your trades on after the signal was sent out.

We have been a little slow on a couple of occasions (only by an hour or so) and the price had already moved a couple of dollars by the time we had executed the trade.

But all in all a good start and let’s hope for more of the same going forward.

Gold Signals – New Review

27th March 2017

Trading gold is a tantalising prospect.

It’s one of the world’s most valuable commodities.

It has a certain glamour that most other commodities just cannot match.

It’s something we can all identify with.

And a few years ago it enjoyed a mammoth bull run that made some people very wealthy. Very wealthy indeed.

Back before the financial crisis of 2008, gold was valued at around $400 per oz.

As markets crashed around the world however, investors flocked to the safe haven of gold and its price shot up to around $1900 per oz by 2012.

You may even have had your grandad telling you he had been hoarding little gold trinkets for decades in the hope that its value would soar in the event of a financial meltdown. 

Now grandpops might not have made quite the fortune he was hoping for, but certainly some people did very well and it shows you the potential of the commodity.

Anyway, gold has fallen quite a bit since 2012 to around $1255 per oz at the time of writing, but that is still a huge uplift on its price before the crash.

So gold has enjoyed some huge fluctuations over the years and even has some big fluctuations from day to day as well, making it ideal for traders.

It is also one of the most liquid markets to trade, with generally small spreads available.

Gold is something we have always wanted to trade but have never really had time to look at properly.

So we were very excited when we heard about a new GOLD signals service from the people behind the best forex service we have ever come across, 123 Free Signals.

Basically they have been receiving gold signals from a lady who works as a full time gold trader and allowed them access to her signals as a trial. They have apparently seen her profit for many months and years on GOLD and recently came into proper contact with her where she gave them more information and promised some trial signals.

Now after her trial ended – and in their opinion very successfully – they were interested in signing up to her service.

She doesn’t supply signals to individuals but has agreed to supply them to 123 Free Signals in a kind of “bulk package.”

Subscribers to 123 Free Signals can then get the signals for a ridiculously low cost of just $49 per year.

Amazingly, they actually hope to provide the signals free in future years.

Either way, it looks like exceptional value if the signals continue to be as good as those seen during the trial.

So far the signals are about 20% up for the year, which we understand is fairly typical for the service and the lady supplying the signals makes around $300 – $500 per successful trade apparently. 

Although we have only been privy to the signals for a short period, they do look promising – certainly promising enough for us to sign up to the year’s subscription and to run a live trial here on the site.

So we will commence the trial today and aim to follow the signals for three months for the purpose of the trial.

There are expected to be just 1-2 signals per week, which is very manageable.

If you are interested in getting these signals as well, you will first need to sign up to 123 Free Signals (which as the name suggests, is free), as the gold signals doesn’t have its own website at the moment. Then they will send you details of the GOLD subscription.

Anyway, it is nice to get to trade something new as opposed to football and horse racing all the time, so let’s see how this one gets on.

You can check out 123 Free Signals here.

Spartan Trading Tips – Full Review

 

Spartan Trading Tips is a tennis betting service from Patrick Ross, a tennis expert who has been around for a number of years.

His other service, Tennis Trading League, received a failed rating here at Honest Betting Reviews after unfortunately racking up a loss over a three month trial. 

We are pleased to report however that Spartan Trading Tips has done much better under a live trial and has notched up a very respectable 71 points of profit.

This is an interesting approach to betting on tennis and focuses on cashing in on the price movements in a tennis match. As anyone who has traded a match on Betfair has seen, the odds can fluctuate around significantly during a match as things ebb and flow.

Patrick also uses his own form study and knowledge of the game to aid his selection of where he thinks the odds will go.

So for example you will receive a selection like this:-

–> Back Federer @1.21, Lay 1.08

So you place a back bet before the match begins at 1.21, then request a lay at 1.08.

For most matches, Patrick recommends a stop loss of 4 points (out of 10 – or 40% in other words).

To set up stop losses without having to follow the match live in-running, you will need some trading software such as Geeks Toy or Fairbot.

There are instructions on the site on how to set these up.  

We have wondered for a while whether trying to take advantage of the movement in odds in volatile markets like tennis would be a good idea and this has been borne out in this case.

Overall we have been impressed by the results and bank growth of 71% is highly commendable. 

Here are the results in graph format:

Spartan Trading Tips Profit Graph

A very nice graph with steady growth pretty much all the way through.

The strike rate was high at 63% and the return on investment was 12% which is good for a trading service.

So we are happy to give Spartan Trading Tips a PASSED rating and to commend Patrick on creating an innovative service.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Good – there are on average 1.5 bets per day. The tips are sent by e-mail in the evenings. As we have said above, you will want to use a bot to set up the trades unless you can trade the matches live. 

Availability of prices: As we are talking about tennis markets, the liquidity is generally very high and you should have little problem matching the advised prices or getting very close to them. 

Strike rate: The strike rate during the trial was 63%, so a good proportion of winners.  

Advised Betting Bank: The advised staking is 10% on each trade, so that equates to a 100 point bank as each selection is 10 points. This seemed a sufficient bank to us. 

Subscription costs: The costs are fairly reasonable at €24.95 per month, €49.95 per quarter or €149.95 for a lifetime subscription.  

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

We have struggled to find profitable tennis betting services over the last few years, with only one other service passing mustard to date.

So we are pleased to have found Spartan Trading Tips, which is a service that capitalises on the big movements in odds you often see in tennis matches.

It made a commendable 71 points profit during our trial and therefore certainly warrants a PASSED rating from us.

If you are going to follow it then you will probably want to set up a bot to trade the tips if necessary as most people won’t have time to follow the matches live.

Other than that though there isn’t much else to say and this is a service you could well consider adding to your portfolio.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spartan Trading Tips – Results Update

31st July 2017

It’s been a very good run lately for Spartan Trading Tips, with another 30 points profit added since our last update a month ago.

That means we are now 32 points in profit for the trial overall.

You can view full results here.

Just to recap, these are trading tips at preset levels for tennis matches. So for example: 

–> Back Federer @1.21, Lay 1.08

So you place a back bet before the match begins at 1.21, then request a lay at 1.08.

For most matches, Patrick recommends a stop loss of 4 points (out of 10 – or 40% in other words).

To set up stop losses without having to follow the match live in-running, you will need some trading software such as Geeks Toy or Fairbot.

So, impressive stuff so far from Spartan Trading Tips, let’s hope things continue in the same fashion.

 

 

 

 

Spartan Trading Tips – Results Update

4th July 2017

It’s been a solid if unspectacular start to our trial of Spartan Trading Tips from Patrick Ross. 

So far after nearly a month we are 2 points in profit.

You can view full results here.

Just to recap, this involves placing trades at defined levels before a match starts and hoping the odds swing in your favour during the game. It is based on the great volatility you see in odds in tennis matches.

So a quiet start so far, but hopefully things will pick up now with Wimbledon underway. 

 

 

 

Spartan Trading Tips – New Review

8th June 2017

Some time ago we did a review of Patrick Ross’s Tennis Trading League and unfortunately it received a failed rating after notching up a nine point loss over our trial.

However, that was two years ago and we are always prepared to revisit things and take another look.

So we are going to embark on another trial of Patrick’s tennis tipping.

This time we are taking a look at a different aspect of the service – his Spartan Trading Tips.

These have an impressive-looking long term record, having apparently notched up over 1,000 points profit since the service started in late 2013.

That is from risking an average of 4 points on each trade, so not an unreasonable staking system and very good results over an extended period.

Each year so far has made a good profit and there are generally around two bets per day.

The Spartan Trading Tips service is about looking for the odds to move between two given points – so for example if Murray was playing Nadal, you would lay him at 1.8 and back him at 2.5, thus giving a profit whatever happens if the odds move in that way.

If they don’t move in that way, then you obviously lose your stake.

The thing we like about this idea is that you are trading on the general volatility in odds you see in tennis – which is huge. You just need some fluctuations in the match to see your trades win.

Patrick is also using his knowledge and experience to identify players with particular traits and match-ups that suit a swing in odds.

The approach appears to have worked very well to date if the results are to be believed. So much so in fact that Patrick was offering to give subscribers their money back if he didn’t make 200 points profit on the French Open.

We aren’t sure if he’s on course to achieve that, but either way it is a bold objective.

Anyway, it’s nice to have another tennis service to review as there aren’t many around. We will run our standard three month trial and will report back soon on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Spartan Trading Tips here.

Racing Wins – Full Review

 

Racing Wins is a horse racing tipping service provided by a chap called Pete Thomson.

The service was unveiled a few months ago to quite a bit of fanfare so we were eager to check it out and see if it could live up to the hype of the launch.

So we subjected to a live three month trial here on the site, recording all selections to both advised prices and Betfair SP.

After three months then, how has Racing Wins got on? Has it lived up to the hype of the launch?

Well if you’ve seen the results above then you will know it has ended up somewhat disappointing us, with a loss of 21 points being made to advised prices and a 25 point loss at Betfair SP. 

With the 100 point bank that we used for the trial, that worked out at a loss of 21% of the bank – so about a fifth.

As you can see from the graph below, things were going ok for most of the trial but tailed off badly towards the end. 

Racing Wins Profit Graph

The return on investment was -7%, so not too great either unfortunately.

Overall then Racing Wins was somewhere between a failed and a neutral rating, but given it certainly wasn’t a washout by any means, we will err on the side of caution of plump for a NEUTRAL rating.

Hopefully they can turn things around and move into profit in the coming months, so we will keep an eye on things and see if they can manage to do that.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use:  Tips are normally sent out in the morning between 9 and 10 am. There are four tips per day when there are some tips, although some days there are no tips. Overall a fairly straightforward service to follow.   

Availability of prices:  There was no problem at all getting the advised prices and little difference between them and the BSP results.  

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was a solid 29%.

Advised Betting Bank: No betting back is advised for following the service, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are £14.95 per month or £79 per year which are very reasonable by today’s standards. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Racing Wins was released a few months ago to a good deal of interest from the betting community in what looked on paper like a very promising tipster.

As is so often the case though, the results in a live trial haven’t lived up to the pre-trial billing and we have ended up 21 points down after three months.

Whilst that’s not the end of the world, we were hoping for more so can only award this a NEUTRAL rating for the time being.

We will keep an eye on things for the time being and see if results improve over the coming months.

Racing Wins – Results Update

1st September 2017

A reversal of fortunes for horse racing tipster Racing Wins since our last update a few weeks ago.

They have dropped 11 points in that time to advised prices, meaning they are now 10 points down for the trial overall at advised prices.

You can view full results here.

At Betfair SP it is a fairly similar picture, with 14 points dropped since our last update to put them 12 points down for the trial overall.

Just a few weeks left in the trial here, so we will need to see some really good results in that time for this to achieve a passed rating.

We will see…

At Betfair SP it has been pretty similar, with 10 points won since our last update putting them on 2 points up for the trial overall.

Good to see the positive momentum, let’s hope it continues for Racing Wins.

Racing Wins – New Review

13th June 2017

Today we are commending a new trial of horse racing service called Racing Wins. 

This a new service and one which we have been asked to proof as part of their venture out into the tipping world.

The results prior to the official commencement of the service look promising, with four profitable months out of four and 164 points profit made.

In terms of the strike rate, that is pretty good too at over 33%, so it should be a reasonably sensible service to follow.

There are four different tip types as part of Racing Wins, including the Nap (i.e. best bet of the day), Next Best, Third Best & Outsider Bet.

Interestingly from the results published to date, the Third Best and Outsider have produced the most profit. Although perhaps that isn’t such a surprise when you consider that 

The tips are provided by a guy called Pete Thomson and he tips five days per week, i.e. taking Sundays and Mondays off – when the racing doesn’t tend to be much good anyway.

Subscriptions are very reasonably priced at just £14.95 per month or £67 per year, which if the live results match the pre-launch ones would represent excellent value.

Now just a quick note that Racing Wins doesn’t officially start until Monday 19th June – which as luck would have it is the start of Royal Ascot – but you can get your name down before then to make sure you get a place as this is the kind of thing that may sell out.

Anyway, we are looking forward to testing this out and will get going with proofing the results as soon as the service commences on 19th June.

In the meantime you can check out Racing Wins here.

FA Racing Full Review

 

FA Racing is a horse racing tipping service from the same team behind the popular Football Advisor service (hence the initials FA).

It is based on the bets that John (who runs the service) has been placing himself for a number of years and apparently does rather well off.

John decided a few months ago to start making these selections public via the new FA Racing service and the results prior to our trial looked very promising indeed. 

But how would it get on under the spotlight of a live trial?

Well the first thing to say is that there are a large number of bets! There were nearly 400 bets in just two months, which is one of the highest bet volumes we have seen.

Sadly in this case though, quantity didn’t necessarily translate into quality and we ended the trial 15 points down to advised prices.

Here are the results over the trial in graph format:

FA Racing Profit Graph

As you can see, it was quite an up and down trial! However, most of the time it fluctuated from down back towards even and was only in surplus for a brief period early on. 

Using a 100 point bank, the final results represented just a 15% drawdown so it was certainly no disaster, therefore we feel a NEUTRAL rating is fair in this instance. 

Although it has not excelled during our trial, it hasn’t done too badly either so we don’t feel FA Racing warrants a failed rating.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use:  With an average of six bets per day this is a high-volume service and with some of the bets being multiples like Yankees and Trixies, there is quite a bit of work involved in following the service. 

Availability of prices:  Prices were generally fairly obtainable. There was an 18 point difference between the advised prices and BSP results, so a little bit of a gap but with over 400 bets being placed, it is actually a fairly small difference. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 23%, which is fairly reasonable. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point bank is advised for following the service, which seemed adequate to us and was never in jeopardy during our trial.  

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are £57 per month, £137 per quarter or £425 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Football Advisor is a respected football tipping service and as the results of FA Racing prior to our trial looked very promising, we were optimistic that this could be a real winner.

Unfortunately though results during the trial were a little disappointing, with a 15 point loss being made to advised prices.

This isn’t the worse service we have come across and a 15% loss of the bank was no catastrophe, so we are awarding FA Racing a NEUTRAL rating.

It may be a service to keep an eye on to see how it develops in future, but for the moment it isn’t one we can recommend.

At Betfair SP it has been considerably worse, with 8 points lost since our last update and 37 points lost overall, so it is looking questionable as to whether the service is practical to follow at Betfair SP.

It’s been a solid if unspectacular start for horse racing tipster FA Racing, which is a trial service being tested out by Football Advisor (so doesn’t have its own separate website yet). 

We started receiving tips on 5th July and since then we have made 7 points profit at advised prices. 

You can view full results here.

To Betfair SP it hasn’t been quite so good, with 7 points lost so far.

This is a high volume service, with a good number of bets per day and normally an additional Trixie or Yankee on top.

FA Racing – New Review

28th June 2017

A while ago we ran a review of the popular football betting service Football Advisor.

Although it only managed a neutral rating during our trial, it is a well respected service and has made over 300 points profit overall since starting a few years ago.

So our interest was piqued when we saw their new potential service – FA Racing – undergo a beta launch at the start of June.

Jon Robertson, who runs the Football Advisor service, started out his days with the racing website systemlays.co.uk which took a systems-based approach to horse racing betting and was a well-liked site.

Jon decided to sell the site in 2012 to concentrate on new avenues, including starting Football Advisor. Unfortunately the new owners of systemlays did not keep it going and it is now defunct. 

However, Jon has continued to bet on the horses himself over the years and to do rather well at it.

So with him making a nice additional income from horse racing, Jon thought it was time to run a three month trial to see if he could launch a new horse racing service based on his bets.

He did this at the start of June and it has been quite successful to say the least! So far June has given followers a whopping ROI of 45.5% and over 50 points profit.

Winners have included:

Caspian Prince 25/1
Hallings Comet 19/1
Marmajuke Bay 16/1
Artscape 14/1
Theflyingpoet 9/1

Plus just yesterday there was another winner at 5/2. 

So although it’s still early days, this does look like a promising service and one we decided it is worth investigating.

We have therefore paid our £20 and signed up for the final two months of the three month beta trial.

We will record results here for the next two months and if things go anything like as well as June has gone, then we fully expect this will turn into a full service in due course.

In the meantime, you can sign up for the final two months of the trial of FA Racing for just £20 here.

Carl Nicholson’s Stable Whispers – Final Review

Profit/Loss:   -47 points 
Strike Rate:   11%

Carl Nicholson’s Stable Whispers – Full Review

 

After having given horse racing tipster Carl Nicholson’s main Racing Diary service a positive review, we were eager to test out his other service, Stable Whispers.

Stable Whispers is a service that focuses on information received from stables about horses expected to go well.

Prior to our trial, it had apparently amassed a healthy 60 points profit for the year.

Sadly though during our four month trial almost all those profits were wiped out, with a loss of 47 points being made to advised prices.

That equated to a 97% loss of the recommended 50 point bank, pretty shocking stuff.

At Betfair SP the results were even worse, with a 66 point loss being made – so the whole bank would have been wiped out! 

Overall then we have no choice but to award Stable Whispers a FAILED rating with such large losses having been made.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use:  There is an average of just one bet per day, so the workload is extremely low with this service. 

Availability of prices:  The prices weren’t overly under pressure from when the tips were released, although the occasional selection would get smashed in by the off time. Best to get your bets on the evening before in any event. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was a lowly 11%, well below what it needs to be for the service to turn a profit.  

Advised Betting Bank: A 50 point bank is advised for following the service, which clearly is not enough given that we suffered a 47 point loss during the trial. We believe a 100 point bank should be advised. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are £34.98 per month, which includes Stable Whispers and Carl’s main service, the Racing Diary. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

Sadly Carl Nicholson’s Racing Diary has had a horror trial, racking up a loss of 47 points to advised prices.

It could be that we just hit the service at a bad time, but any tipster who loses 97% of their advised betting bank is going to have a tough time convincing followers to stay with them.

On that basis, we have no choice but to award the Stable Whispers service a FAILED rating and time to move swiftly on to the next trial we feel…

Carl Nicholson’s Stable Whispers – New Review

10th May 2017

Hot on the heels of just completing our successful trial of Carl Nicholson’s Racing Diary service, we are now following that up with a new trial of his other offering, his Stable Whispers service.

Just to recap in case you missed our previous trial, Carl Nicholson is a maths and computer science graduate from Harvard University in the USA.

He also worked for the Daily Racing Form in America and has written a book on his method of finding value selections.

Carl’s Racing Diary service performed very well during our trial, notching up 45 points of profit at a return on investment of 29%.

With such impressive results, we thought we just had to follow it up with a trial of his other service, Stable Whispers.

This is a newer service which Carl just started up in late 2016 but in a short time has built up an strong-looking set of results, notching up 61 points profit so far in 2017.

That equates to £1,534 to £25 stakes, a nice little bonus if you combine it with the £1,281 made with the main Racing Diary selections. 

Basically the Stable Whispers service consists of selections that have come in from Carl’s network of contacts around the country.

He apparently gets a lot of ‘news’ each day, and spends his mornings checking out the viability of that info and the best news goes to his Stable Whispers members.

That info looks to be pretty sound so far based on what is published on the website.

Certainly if it turns out to be as good as the main service, then we have found two little gems rolled into one!

The Stable Whispers service is only available as an add-on to Racing Diary service, but you can get them combined for a reasonable price of £34.98 per month. 

We will run a standard three month trial of Stable Whispers and will report back soon on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Carl Nicholson’s Stable Whispers here.

Lucky Multi Bets – Full Review

 

Lucky Multi Bets is a horse racing tipster service that provides four selections each day, which are then placed in a Lucky 15 bet.

There are some bold claims on their website about having won over £18,000 from a £7.50 bet so we were eager to test the service out and see if it could deliver.

So how did it get on during our three month trial?

Well we are disappointed to say that Lucky Multi Bets had a fairly poor trial, racking up a loss of 36 points at advised prices and 28 points at Betfair SP.

A service like this depends to a certain extent on hitting a big-priced winner where all four selections win on the same day, landing a potentially massive prize.

This didn’t happen during our trial unfortunately and we wonder how many people would have the stomach to endure the losing runs whilst hoping for a big winner to be landed.

In truth we doubt it would be very many and so we are afraid it is a FAILED rating for Lucky Multi Bets.

Not so lucky this time…

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use:  There is just one bet per day, which is a lucky 15 bet. So you will need some bookies accounts to place the lucky 15. 

Availability of prices:  The prices were generally freely available, we saw no problems in that aspect of the service. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 28%, which on its own is not too bad, but the service relies on hitting 3 or 4 winners on the same day to really bank some profits, which happens very rarely. 

Advised Betting Bank: There was no betting bank advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial which seemed sufficient.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are £27 per month or £127 per year. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

Unfortunately Lucky Multi Bets has failed to deliver the hoped-for profits during our trial, ending up 36 points down in the end.

On that basis we are forced to award this a FAILED rating for now and will move on in our search to find the best betting systems for you.

A strategy like this does rely on all four selections being hit in one day to land the big prize, so things could turn around for them if they manage to achieve that.

Lucky Multi Bets – New Review

2nd June 2017

Our inbox has been inundated recently about a new service called Lucky Multi Bets.

With so much marketing hype around the system, we thought we would take a look and see what the fuss was all about.

The idea of the service is to place small stakes on long shot multiple bets in the hope of winning big.

On the sales page, it shows a winning bet slip with a return of £18,849 from a £7.50 stake, placed as a lucky 15 bet.

Now wins like this are obviously extremely unlikely so the question is whether they can turn a profit on smaller wins whilst you wait for the potential big win to come in. 

Apparently the service is run by a team of professional punters who make their livelihood through horse racing betting.

Not much information is given on how the selections are chosen, other than that the experts pore over form guides, ratings and weather forecasts to find the selections.

No long term results are given, so other than the massive win they quote, it is difficult to judge how profitable the service may be.

The joining costs are £27 per month or £127 per year, so about average for this sort of thing.

We will run our normal three month trial and will report back soon on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Lucky Multi Bets here.

The Affluence System – Final Review

/4 Comments/in , , /by

We have taken a look at The Affluence System and since it is due to close its doors to new members on 28th August, we thought it would be a good idea to provide our final thoughts on the system before then.

 

What is The Affluence System?

The Affluence System is based on Accumulator Generator, a system also designed by Mike Cruickshank, that has been around for close to two years now.

You can read our full review of Accumulator Generator here, which will give you the full lowdown on how it works.

In short though, it is about using the bookies’ accumulator refund offers to make regular low-risk profits. You do this by laying off your liability for the acca at the exchanges (e.g. Betfair).

Accumulator Generator contains software which crunches through all the hundreds of potential accas you could put on from dozens of bookies and finds those that represent the best value.

You then choose the best value accas, input them into the calculator that is provided and it tells you how much to stake on the acca and then how much to lay off at Betfair for each leg of the acca. 

The Affluence System includes all this as well, but how it differs from Accumulator Generator is that it is a step by step plan on how best to use the acca software so that you can turn a £500 starting bank into £5,000 and then withdraw £840 per month in profit.

 

Does It Work?

As we said in our original review of Accumulator Generator, the system definitely works – as long as you have access to the bookies’ acca refund offers that is.

If you do, then you should be able to make around £6-£10 per offer on average. You will get the occasional one that makes a small loss and the odd one that makes more than £10, but as we say the average will be £6-£10.

It’s really then just a case of “rinse and repeat” once you have got used to how to set up the accas. The more you can do, the more money you can make. You do have to be careful not to overdo it though or the bookies may start limiting your accounts or withdrawing the acca refund offers from you.

In terms of the specific plan laid out in The Affluence System, if you are able to follow it as set out then yes it should work for you. 

It will be quite time consuming. Mike says that it should take around an hour per day which isn’t too bad, but you have to be willing to dedicate this time.

As we also said in our review of Accumulator Generator, if you want the low-risk approach then you have to remember to go in and lay off each leg of your acca until you hit a losing one (or until the whole acca has won). There is a reminder function as part of the software which is helpful, but you still have to be methodical and ensure you keep on top of each acca.

What we think is interesting about The Affluence System though is that Mike recommends using an approach which although higher-risk, can greatly reduce the time involved and the need to go back in and lay each selection of the acca.

Using this approach – called the “Advantage Play” means you will have some accas that lose you money, but overall because of the refunds, you will make a long-term profit under the law of averages.

We are intrigued by this and think it would be greatly beneficial if you could use the system without having to go back and lay each leg of the acca until one loses. It would free up a lot of time and effort in following the system.

So we are going to have a go at this over the next couple of weeks and see how we get on. There are likely to be more ups and downs than with using the low risk approach, but overall you should still make similar levels of profit.

 

How Much Money Can you Make? 

We can certainly see that if you follow Mike’s instructions, you could turn a £500 bank into £5,000 and then potentially withdraw around £800 per month in profits. This is not “airy-fairy nonsense” that you see some system-promotes claim, but is actually a realistic goal.

As we say though, the plan will only work for those willing to put in the effort to make it work and the discipline to follow it over the long-term.

If you do that though, we think you can make really good profits from this.

 

OVERALL VERDICT – PASSED

Overall most of our comments from our original review of Accumulator Generator also apply to our view of The Affluence System. It is a very good system and clearly does “work” – the underlying logic behind it is sound.

The Affluence System is a step by step programme for how best to use the acca refund offers to make yourself a steady income stream from them. 

What we really like about it is that it gives you a clear roadmap to success and a plan you can stick to.

So often with these things you can lose focus after a while or become a bit overwhelmed with the choices available, but The Affluence System shows you how best to use the offers and gives you a realistic approach to generating a regular income from them. 

Just to reiterate, you won’t need to sign up to The Affluence System if you are already a member of Accumulator Generator.

And you will need access to the bookies’ accumulator refund offers to make it work. These are the offers where they refund your stake on an acca if one leg of it lets you down (e.g. 4 of your teams win out of 5). 

There is the risk of having your bookie accounts limited or the acca offers withdrawn if you abuse the offers, so you need to be a bit careful. Mike does include some guidance on avoiding this however and we have generally found that bookies are less sensitive about the use of their acca offers than other offers – probably because in general they love people who do accas!

Overall then we are happy to give The Affluence System a passed rating and well done again to Mike for coming up with another excellent system.

The Affluence System – New Review

4th August 2017

Anyone who has followed us for a while will know we are big fans of Mike Cruickshank’s betting systems. 

So when we heard he was releasing a new football betting system in time for the new season we were naturally very interested.

The new product is called The Affluence System and is an offshoot of Mike’s popular Accumulator Generator system.

If you are already a member of Accumulator Generator, you don’t need to join The Affluence System, you can just log in and access it via the training section.

But if you aren’t already a member then The Affluence System could well be worth taking a look at.

Basically The Affluence System is a strategy for building a bank from £500 to £5,000 and then withdrawing £840 per month in profit.

That sounds like a tantalising prospect and is one we would very much like to achieve! 

So we are going to give this a look and see whether Mike has come up with another top strategy here.

The good news is that you can get a 14 day trial for just £1, so you can take a look at it with very little risk.

We will update our findings on the system here soon.

In the meantime you can check out The Affluence System here.

Football Value Tips – Full Review

 

We have just completed an extended nine month trial of Football Value Tips, a football tipping service from renowned systems developer Phil Rushton.

We wanted to give it some extra time to gather enough tips to properly judge the service and get a sense of whether it could achieve a passed verdict from a long term trial.

So after nine months, what do we think of Football Value Tips?

Well we are pleased to say this has proved a profitable service and very easy to follow.

There is usually just one e-mail per week containing the bets for the weekend, usually sent out on a Thursday or Friday. You are given the selections, staking and bookie with the best odds.

Having made 44 points profit over the trial, we feel this is worth a PASSED rating. 

The bank growth of 44% over the course of nine months is not earth-shattering, but is solid growth nonetheless and with such little work required to follow the service, you really can’t complain about those returns. 

Here are the results in graph format:-

Football Value Tips Profit Graph

As you can see, although it went into deficit early on, things picked nicely over the second half of the trial to finish in a clear profit. 

Bets during the main season come primarily in the English Premier League, with some bets from the other European leagues.

During the Summer you get bets from international tournaments as well as the MLS, China, Brazil and some of the other Summer leagues.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use:  There are only around 6 bets per week on average, so the workload in following the service is pretty low. 

Availability of prices:  You should have no problem matching the advised prices, or even beat them sometimes using Betfair. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 46%, so a decent proportion of winners. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point bank is recommended for following the service, which seems pretty fair to us. Staking is between 1 and 5 points with an average of 4 points, so it is probably equivalent to about a 25 point bank if you were betting 1 point level stakes. The worst our bank went was 32 points down, so plenty in hand. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are very reasonable at £14.95 per month or £67 per year, with a 7 day free trial available. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Making a profit in football is notoriously hard so we are always glad to find a football tipster who manages to generate a good return during a trial. 

Football Value Tips made a steady 44 points profit during our trial, which also represented 44% growth of the bank. 

It is a simple service to follow and with the majority of bets coming in the major European leagues, you should have no problem getting your bets matched. 

So we are happy to give this a PASSED rating and to say it is worth considering adding to your betting portfolio. 

You can get a free 7-day trial here

Football Value Tips – Results Update

18th May 2017

A bit of a retraction for Football Value Tips recently, with 22 points lost since our last update a month ago.

That means they are now 23 points up for the trial overall.

You can view full results here.

A lot of the recent tips have been in the Premier League and there have been some strange results lately, with the season winding down and some sides not having much to play for.

Still, hopefully they can finish with a flourish over the last couple of weeks of the season.

Back soon with more updates.

With the football season coming to a climax soon there should be some good betting to get our teeth into before the conclusion of the trial.

The good form continues for Football Value Tips, who have added another 17 points of profit since our last update.

You can view full results here.

This is a really easy service to follow, with just a small number of bets each week and most in the Premier League and other big European leagues. 

We only a few weeks left in our six-month trial so hopefully they can push on to more profits for the remainder of the trial.

Let’s hope they can continue the good form for the remainder of the trial.

Football Value Tips – Results Update

7th February 2017

Football Value Tips has been on a decent run since our last update, racking up a healthy 27 points profit. 

That very neatly takes them back to level for the trial, as they were 27 points down last time.

You can view full results here.

We have been following the tips for 4 months and obviously they haven’t set the world alight in that time, but nothing lost either. We have 2 months left in the trial so hopefully things can move forward between now and the trial end.

Football Value Tips – Results Update

17th January 2017

It has been a tough couple of weeks for Football Value Tips since our last update, with another 17 points lost.

That puts them at 27 points down for the trial overall after just over three months.

You can view full results here.

They had a particularly tough time over the FA Cup weekend, with all of their five bets losing. Seems to back up that old adage about not betting on cup football.

Anyway, hopefully things will have picked up for Football Value Tips by the time of our next update.

A Happy New Year from Honest Betting Reviews!

We hope you had a great NYE and any sore heads have recovered by now…

Anyway, on to our first results update of 2017:

It’s been a slow start to our trial of footy tipster Football Value Tips, who are 10 points down so far.

You can view full results here.

We have actually been following the tips since 8th October 2016, so we have nearly three months of results now. 

Things were going well earlier on but they have hit a rough patch of form lately, losing five bets in a row over the Christmas fixture period, which knocked them back somewhat.

Let’s hope things pick up for them as 2017 gets underway.

Football Value Tips – New Review

13th December 2016

With the football season in full swing we thought it would be a good time to start a new trial of a footy tipster.

The tipster in question is called Football Value Tips and is run by a guy called Phil Rushton. 

The sales page claims that the tips have made over £28,500 over the last two seasons, although that doesn’t say to what stake. 

Having a look at the results in a bit more detail, we can see that there has been over 320 points profit so far since tipping started in August 2015.

So that would be over £3,200 at £10 per point and £32,000 at £100 per point. 

The staking varies between 1 and 5 points, although the vast majority of bets are either 2.5 points or 5 points.

The vast majority of bets are in the English Premier League, with a few bets from other leagues such as the Championship, Bundesliga or Serie A, plus some international matches.

A variety of different markets are used, including Double Chance, Both Teams to Score, Anytime Goalscorer and of course the main match odds market. 

The bet volume seems pretty manageable with a few bets per week, so nothing too onerous for the punter in terms of time commitment.

Subscription costs are very reasonable at £14.95 per month or £67 per year, plus there is a free trial for 7 days so you can see if you like the service before going on to one of the paid memberships. 

We have actually been following these tips since 8th October, so we have a couple of months of proofing already in the bank. But we will do our normal three month live trial on top of that, so we will have five months of tips in total by the end, a pretty solid amount to go on.

So without further ado, we will get the trial underway and will report back soon on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Football Value Tips here.
