Templegate Tips – Full Review

 

So we have completed our trial of “Britain’s No.1 Tipster.” Is Templegate deserving of that title following his efforts over the last three months?

Well not quite – with a total of 11 points lost over the trial, it has not exactly been award-winning stuff.

However, it has not been a disaster either and considering as a newspaper tipster he is forced to tip pretty much every day, they are certainly not the worst results in the world.

So we think a neutral rating is the fairest verdict for Templegate.

Here are the results for the trial in graph format:

Templegate Tips Profit Graph

As you can see, things got off to a bad start but he managed to battle back and only finished slightly down in the end.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: A relatively straightforward service to follow. Tips are normally posted well before racing on the Sun website and there are 3 tips per day on average, so the workload isn’t too great.

Availability of prices: There was a bit of a difference between the advised prices and Betfair SP results, with the former making 11 points loss but the latter made 39 points loss. However, there is not a stampede for prices in the same way as with other popular tipsters like Pricewise and Hugh Taylor, so you should be able to match the prices or get close to them.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 23%, so a little bit of patience will be required in following this service.

Advised Betting Bank: A betting bank is not advised for the service but we used a notional 100 point bank, which seemed more than adequate with a maximum drawdown of 34 points during the trial.

Subscription costs: The good thing is that the tips are provided free through the Sun website.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

We started out this trial by saying we were sceptical of newspaper tipsters and that most of them make a loss in the long term.

However, Templegate seems to be one of the few exceptions to this rule and has apparently made over 200 points profit at a return on investment of 10% over the long run.

He didn’t quite manage to achieve those levels during our trial, but a loss of 11 points was no calamity either. 

So we think a neutral verdict is a fair verdict for Mr Jones and we will keep an eye on things to see how he progresses.

Certainly if you going to the races and are looking for some newspaper tips to go on then you could do worse than using Templegate’s.

Templegate Tips – Results Update

22nd March 2016

There has been a bit of return to form for Templegate – at advised prices at least – since our last update in February. 

He has managed 13 points of profit at advised prices in that time, although at Betfair SP he has actually lost 3 points.

So that puts Templegate on -5 points overall at advised prices and -29 points at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

So quite a difference there between the advised prices and Betfair SP, but good to see things picking up for Mr Jones. 

Back soon with our final review.

Templegate Tips – Results Update

1st February 2016

It has been a rough start to our trial of “Britain’s no.1 Tipster.” After three weeks, Steve Jones, aka Templegate of the Sun, is 18 points down at early prices and -26 points at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

As we said at the outset of the trial, we are normally very sceptical of newspaper tipsters, primarily because they are forced to tip every day and to have “winners” for their readers rather than selectively making tips to achieve long-term profits.

However, Mr Jones has apparently achieved long-term profits, so perhaps deserves some acclaim for that.

It hasn’t been an ideal start to the trial, but to be fair things have been tough lately with the weather and changeable conditions, so hopefully things will pick up for the remainder of the trial.

We will return soon with further updates.

Templegate Tips – New Review

8th January 2016

One of the most famous names in horse racing tipping is Templegate – aka Steve Jones of the Sun.

Modestly calling himself “Britain’s No.1 Tipster,” Templegate provides tips each day in the Sun Newspaper, with Naps and then picks for each race on the day, as is normal for newspaper tipsters.

You would be forgiven for being sceptical about newspaper racing tipsters, who typically make a substantial loss over the long term. This is partly because they are forced to tip in every race and invariably just pick favourites so that they can talk about having “winners,” with their newspaper rarely tracking their overall profit and loss.

However, Templegate has actually proven quite adept at tipping, have apparently made over 200 points profit on his naps over the last couple of years.

We are always on the lookout for free tipsters who provide consistent profit, so with a strong record we thought it would be interesting to put Templegate under the microscope of a live trial here at Honest Betting Reviews.

We will also be intrigued to see how prices stand up and whether there is a stampede for his tips in the same way as there is for the likes of Pricewise and Hugh Taylor.

So with that in mind we kick of our live trial of Templegate’s tips and will report on progress soon.

Greyhound Racing Tips – Final Review

We have come to the end of our three month trial of Greyhound Racing Tips and here are the final results:

 

Profit/loss:    +13 points 
Strike Rate:    33%
Bank Growth:    17%
Cost:   £1 for 7 days then £29.99/month 
ROI:   3.8%

Greyhound Racing Tips – Full Review

 

It has been a good trial for Greyhound Racing tips, the second greyhound tipster we have reviewed here at Honest Betting Reviews.

The trial finished in a profit of 13 points, which is a respectable total to have accumulated.

However, we felt with a bank growth of 17% and a return on investment of 3.8%, it was just slightly under the level needed for a recommended rating. 

There is a good deal to like about the service though and if the dogs are your thing, then this may be worth having a go.

Here are the results for the trial in graph format:

Greyhound Racing Profit Graph

As you can see, things got off to a difficult start and they were over 25 points down at one stage, but picked up well over the second half of the trial to finish in profit.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Quite a simple service to follow. There are an average of two tips per day and there is plenty of time to get the bets on. If the tips are sent out earlier in the day then sometimes prices aren’t available yet, so you have to wait until later in the day for prices to be posted. 

Availability of prices: There was good availability in terms of prices and no problems getting the advised odds.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 33% which is good and means losing runs shouldn’t be too severe when following this service. 

Advised Betting Bank: A betting bank is not advised for the service but we used a 75 point bank for the trial, which seemed about the right level given that we were 27 points down at one stage.

Subscription costs: The costs are reasonable at £1 for the first 7 days then £29.99 per month. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

It is always commendable when a service finishes in profit over the course of a three month trial and Greyhound Racing Tips has finished with a decent 13 points of profit here.

Whilst this is a positive total, it was just a little below the level we look for to give a strong recommended rating, with a return on investment of 3.8%.

However, if you are a greyhound fan and looking for a tipster to follow, you could certainly do worse than following this one. 

It is straightforward to follow and Shaun who runs the service really knows his stuff – a greyhound aficionado for sure.

Greyhound Racing Tips – Results Update

16th December 2015

It has been a bit of a slow start to our trial of Greyhound Racing Tips, which is 13 points down at advised prices and 14 points down at Betfair SP after five weeks.

You can view full results here.

There are generally 2-3 bets per day with staking between 1 and 3 points, so fairly manageable to follow.

Hopefully things will pick up and start to move towards profit soon.

Back soon with further updates.

Greyhound Racing Tips – New Review

16th December 2015

We are always keen to expand our range here at Honest Betting Reviews and take in as many different sports as we can in our efforts to find some winning betting systems and tipsters.

So we are pleased to be getting just our second trial of a greyhound tipster under way today.

The tipster comes in the form of Greyhound Racing Tips, a long standing tipping service from a supposed greyhound racing insider using the alias Shaun Murphy. 

Fortunately you are offered the option of trying the tips out for 7 days for just £1, so a nice cheap introduction to the trial, followed by £29.99 per month.

Greyhound Racing Tips

You also apparently receive race analysis to accompany the tips, which we always like to see as a guide to how the tipster is coming up with their selections – and not just sticking a pin in their Racing Post.

The past results are now published on the website with full selection details and the total profit/loss for the month.

Update – we are pleased to see that Shaun has also now added the overall totals for profit and loss, which stand at:

  • 2014: +42.7 points
  • 2015: +7.7 points

So it will be interesting to see how this gets on under the spotlight of our trial. We have been impressed so far with our other greyhound service under review, Premier Greyhound Tips, which has shown excellent levels of consistency.

Whether Greyhound Racing Tips can live up to that example remains to be seen, but please check back here for regular updates during the trial.

In the meantime, you can check out Greyhound Racing Tips here. 

 

Free Super Tips – Final Review

Free Super Tips Full Review

 

The first thing we would say about Free Super Tips is that it has not been an easy service to review.

There are so many tips posted on the site that it would be very difficult to follow them all. We have focused on the football bets and excluded the American sports, tennis and golf tips.

And even when talking about the football bets, we have focused on four of the main types of bets: Accumulator bets, Both Teams to Score (BTTS) accas, Both Teams to Score & Win and Daily Doubles, plus the “£10 to £1,000” Challenge.

Whilst the main accumulator bets finished in a loss of 53 points, they did land one of their  “£10 to £1,000” Challenges over the trial, which was impressive.

So on that basis, we think a fair rating is neutral in that following all their bets to £10 stakes probably would have left you with a small profit when you take into account the other £10 to £1,000 challenges that lost.

The nice thing about the website of course is that all tips are free, which is refreshing in this age of some very overpriced tipsters.

Plus everything is very nicely presented and there are quick click-throughs to bet slips with Bet 365 below the tips.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: It all depends on how many of their tips you want to follow. If you want to follow all of them, then this would be a time-consuming process as there are a large number of tips, plus quite a lot of them are accumulators which take more time to place than individual bets. 

Availability of prices: The prices are generally widely available, although there are some more niche bets in obscure leagues where odds can be pushed in, but the most of the time you should be ok to match their prices.  

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 13% so you will need some patience if you are following their various accumulator bets. 

Advised Betting Bank: A betting bank is not advised for the service but we used a 200 point bank for the trial given the kinds of odds they tip at. Of course you may want to use separate banks for each of the types of bets you follow.

Subscription costs: This is the good news: FREE!

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Free Super Tips is quite a novel website that provides a large number of tips, focused mainly on football but also including other sports as well.

They provide lots of different accumulator bets, meaning you would need a decent sized bank to follow these tips.

Unfortunately their football accumulator tips finished in a 53 point loss over the trial. 

However, they did land one of their “£10 to £1,000 Challenges” over the trial as well, an impressive feat.

Overall, if you’d followed all the acca tips plus those Challenges, you would have a small profit, so we think a neutral rating is fair verdict for them.

The great thing is the tips are provided for free, which is good to see in this day and age.

This might be a service for you if you like the buzz of winning big accas and the like, but for the time being this doesn’t quite make it on to our list of the top footy tipsters.

Free Super Tips – Results Update

1st March 2016

Our trial of Free Super Tips had started off very well but sadly things have gone somewhat south for them recently. 

They have dropped 59 points since our last update just over a month ago. 

That puts them at -45 points for the trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

We would stress that this is just covering their football accumulators and not their tips on US sports, tennis or golf.

Just covering their football accumulator tips has been quite a lot of work, so we can’t imagine what it must be like to follow every one of their tips!

Anyway, let’s hope for a couple of big winners before the end of the trial to get things back into the positive.

 

 

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

Free Super Tips – Results Update

26th January 2016

There has been a small loss for Free Super Tips since our last update a few weeks ago. They have dropped 11 points in that time to stand at +14 points for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

The results take into account their various football betting tips including the regular accumulators, the BTS accas, the BTS & Win accas and the Daily Doubles.

However recently they have also landed one of their “£10 to £1,000” Challenges. This is basically where they start with £10 and then with each bet they place their stake and winnings onto the next bet, so the stake becomes progressively larger until you are betting a few hundred quid at the end.

Once you reach the £1,000 then the challenge is done and you start again. We weren’t proofing these at the beginning but there were bet slips on the website showing the bets so we are fairly sure it was genuine. We will be proofing the £10 to £1,000 Challenges from now on.

So overall this looks like a promising service, particularly as it is free.

Back soon with more updates.

Free Super Tips – Results Update

30th December 2015

It has been a good start to our trial of Free Super Tips, who are +25 points in profit so far after nearly a month of tipping.

You can view full results here.

They tip only in accumulators and have a variety of different categories they provide selections in. So for example there are match betting and over/under accumulators, BTTS (both teams to score) and BTTS & Win accumulators, as well as daily doubles.

They have landed three nice accas so far, at odds of 35/1, 51/1 & 22/1. Two of those have been in the BTTS markets and one in the BTTS & Win market, so that seems to be their specialism based on the evidence so far.

We have only been recording their football tips, but they also tip in American sports including NBA, NHL and College football.

A good start so far and always nice to see a service that provides free tips. Let’s see how things go for them over the next two months.

 

 

 

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

Free Super Tips – New Review

11th November 2015

We always welcome a service that provides free tips here at Honest Betting Reviews, given the extortionate prices that some tipsters feel justified in charging.

So we are pleased to commence a trial of Free Super Tips, a website offering free tips on football. They offer tips primarily on televised matches and big games, with daily doubles and accumulators as well. 

They provide full match previews for the big games, with comprehensive stats and analysis. As ever though, the key thing is the results they produce, so we will be interested to see how they get on during our trial.

There are no results published on the website, which can be a worrying sign but does not always indicate that a service isn’t profitable. Probably worse than that is a service that claims great results that seem too good to be true – normally they are!

Anyway, with detailed match previews and the use of statistics, it appears they have a solid grounding on which to build a potentially profitable service. 

And as we say, it is nice to come across a service that offers its tips for free. If their tips are anything like as good as another free service we are trialing at the moment in the form of Betting Bias, then they will be doing well.

We will run our normal three month trial and see how they get on. Please check back here for results updates as the trial progresses.

In the meantime you can check out Free Super Tips here.

Max Racing Tips Full Review

 

There have been quite a few neutral ratings for horse racing tipsters here at Honest Betting Reviews and Max Racing Tips joins the club.

This is a tipster from the reputable Betting Gods stable that tips quite selectively with approximately one bet per day.

Things were a bit of a struggle for them at one stage, as they were 68 points down midway through the trial, made an abortive attempt to get back in the black but made a decent recovery towards the end, as you can see below.

Max Racing Tips Profit Graph

Somewhat of a rollercoaster ride I think they call that!

Overall they finished 18 points down, which from a 100 point bank is a slight disappointment but nothing hugely alarming.

For now we think a neutral rating is a fair rating and we will keep an eye on things at Maxing Racing tips for a while to see if they can recapture the form shown prior to our trial.

 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: With just 1 bet per day on average, the workload is low and selections are normally sent out in the morning so plenty of time to get the bets down.

Availability of prices: There was no issue with the availability of prices and there was little difference between the results at advised prices and Betfair SP, which is a good sign. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 29%, which is somewhat below the long term average of 34%.

Advised Betting Bank: No bank was advised when we signed up so we used a 100 point bank, which was more than comfortable for the trial.   

Subscription costs: You can get a free 14 day trial – as with all Betting Gods services – followed by subscription costs of £94.95/per month; £69.95/quarter or £149.95 for life.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Max Racing Tips had made over 200 points profit coming into our trial, but as is so often the case, they failed to match that level during a live trial, dropping 18 points overall.

Things were much worse than that at one stage, as they were 68 points down at one point but made a good recovery towards the end.

A loss of 18% of the bank isn’t the end of the world and we think a neutral rating here is fair for this one. 

As ever we will keep an eye on things and see if matters improve over the coming months. 

 

 

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

Max Racing Tips – Results Update

11th February 2016

There has been a bit of an improvement for Max Racing Tips, who have added 26 points of profit at advised prices and 19 points profit at Betfair SP since our last update a month ago.

That has started to turn things around for them, as they were 56 points down last time so are now 30 points down at advised prices and 36 points down at Betfair SP for the trial as a whole.

You can view full results here.

Let’s hope the turnaround continues and they can finish the trial in profit.

Back soon with our final review of Max Racing Tips.

Max Racing Tips – Results Update

12th January 2016

It has been more pain for Max Racing Tips since our last update a month ago. They have lost an additional 9 points to stand at -56 points at advised prices and -55 points at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Staking is quite high here, with an average of 2.75 points per selection, so at 1 point level stakes it would be more like 20 points down, which is more palatable.

With a month to go it will be a very decent effort indeed for this one to get back into profit.

Back in a month with our final verdict on Max Racing Tips.

Max Racing Tips – New Review

20th November 2015

It’s over to Betting Gods again today for another one of their promising horse racing tipsters.

This time it is Max Racing Tips, who began tipping back in May and since then have amassed over 200 points of profit.

Apparently high levels of painstaking research go into the tips and that certainly appears to be reflected in the results.

The strike rate so far is a healthy 36% and the return on investment is an impressive 26%.

There are on average about 40 bets per month, so just over one per day which sounds manageable.

We will put this one through its paces and see how it gets on under the spotlight of our trial. It will be subjected to a three month trial as usual, so plenty of time to get a feel for the service.

Our trial will include looking at the results at Betfair SP and how obtainable the advised prices are.

So let’s hope the promising form continues and we get another winning horse racing tipster from the Betting Gods stable.

We will report back soon with the first results update.

In the meantime you can check out Max Racing tips here.

Bookie Blowout Full Review

 

Bookie Blowout is a betting system from Mike Cruickshank that provides horse racing selections in the evening to be backed with the bookies and then traded out the next morning on Betfair, hopefully for a profit.

Now you may well be wondering, having seen the results above, why we have given a neutral rating to a system that made 141 points profit over the course of a three month trial.

And certainly you would not be amiss for asking this question. 

The system is certainly accurate in predicting which selections will reduce in price, being correct over 60% of the time and producing a consistent weekly profit.

But in our view, for a system to achieve a recommended rating, it has to not only provide profit but be practical and sustainable in the long run as well.

And unfortunately we have concerns on both of these fronts with regard to Bookie Blowout, which we discuss further below.

 

Practicalities

Firstly in terms of the practicalities, this is not an easy system to follow. 

The selections are posted on the Bookie Blowout website in the evening before racing. 

The problem is that selections are posted over a long period of time – usually the course of a few hours – and you have to be at your computer for that period to make sure you get the advised odds.

The system is basically about exploiting situations where the bookies have higher odds for a horse than Betfair has, which can therefore be expected to reduce in price.

So the odds will be under pressure and often disappear very quickly.

That means you really have to be on the ball and back the selections as soon as they appear on the website.

So that is our first concern – whether most people will be able to devote between approximately 6 and 10.30 pm each evening to following the selections.

 

Sustainability 

Secondly we look at whether a betting system can work in the long term. 

We have significant question marks in this regard with Bookie Blowout. 

The bookies have software to identify what the Betfair market is doing and will be well aware if you are consistently taking their prices when they are above the Betfair prices.

So it will only be a matter of time before your accounts are limited or closed outright.

I was doing something very similar to this last year and had one of my accounts (that I had held for over 10 years) not just limited, but closed outright.

Another account was limited as well. I can tell you it is very frustrating when that happens.

The trouble is that not only would account closures affect your ability to follow this system, but it obviously affects all your other betting as well.

With the volume of betting you are doing with Bookie Blowout – at an average of 15 bets per day – you are going to alert the bookies pretty quickly to what you are doing.

The likes of Bet365 may let you do this for a while, but bookies like Stan James and Betfred will likely come down on you like a tonne of bricks.

So you may make a few hundred quid with Bookie Blowout to start off with, but we would question if you could keep doing so in the long term.

With the other products from Mike Cruickshank, you can quite happily do just a couple of offers per day and make a nice profit and the bookies won’t take too much notice, as long as you are throwing in some mug bets as well to balance things out.

But here, with 15 bets per day and so targeted around early prices, the risks of the bookies taking action are much greater. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

On the one hand it feels a bit harsh giving a system that makes 141 points profit a neutral rating.

On the other hand, the standard we always use in giving our verdicts on systems is whether you would recommend a system to a friend.

If we were in the pub and a friend asked us if they should buy Bookie Blowout, we would probably say to them – “You would probably make a good few hundred quid to start off with, but then you would have a big risk of the bookies closing your accounts. Plus you have to sit in front of your computer from 6 until around 10 most evenings.”

And then we would let them make up their own minds.

So that is what we will do here – give you the risk warnings and then let you make up your own mind on whether it is something for you.

Some people may be happy to accept the downsides and others not. In the words of Rick Nelson, it’s up to you…

More positive results for Bookie Blowout, which has added another 39 points profit and is now 106 points up overall. 

You can view full results here.

As we said last time, we still have concerns over your accounts with the bookmakers being limited or closed if you use this system and you do need to be at your computer in the evening to get the selections, so it’s a case of buyer beware with this one. 

Back in a couple of weeks with our final review.

Our comments remain the same as in our last update that you need to be at your computer in the evening to pick up the selections and you need to act quickly to get the prices.

We do still have concerns about potential bookie limitations, but in itself this system is working well. 

 

 

 

 

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

Bookie Blowout – Results Update

7th December 2015

It has been a good start to our trial of Bookie Blowout, with 15 points of profit accrued to date.

You can view full results here.

This is an interesting product from Mike Cruickshank in that it is not about risk-free profits. Instead it is about predicting which horses will reduce in price from the evening before racing to the morning.

So you log in to the site in the evening and back the recommended horses with the bookies, then lay them in the morning on Betfair. This is pure trading, you will have traded out before the race starts so have no interest in the actual result.

So far the results have been good – trading with £10 stakes we are £152 up.

However, we do have some concerns about this service. Firstly, you have to be glued to your computer screen from about 6pm to 10pm each evening to see the selections being posted on the Bookie Blowout website. It is crucial to back the selections quickly because the prices tend to disappear quickly.

This has been made a little harder by the fact that Mike no longer sends e-mails out (as he was having delays with g-mail sending) so you now have to keep an eagle eye on the website to see selections posted rather than just waiting for e-mails to be sent.

So if you aren’t able to be at your computer in the evenings, this service probably isn’t for you. 

Secondly, we also worry about the impact on bookie accounts of continually taking early prices that are above Betfair prices – the bookies apparently have software that tells them when this is happening, so no doubt they will see the patterns in your betting and could hit you with account limits or closures.

Thirdly, when prices drift on Betfair to higher prices in the 30s and above, it can be difficult to get your stake matched. We are using £10 stakes for the trial which seems fine to get matched with, but if you are staking much higher you may find yourself having to take odds a bit higher than those shown on our results spreadsheet.

So those are our thoughts so far on Bookie Blowout. On the face of it, the results have been good but there are a few things to be mindful of when using this service.

Back soon with more updates.

Following on from our successful trials of Bonus Bagging and Profit Maximiser, we have another Mike Cruickshank product to try out here at Honest Betting Reviews.

This one is called Bookie Blowout and is slightly different to Mike’s other products.

Rather than focusing on free bets and risk-free profits, this is more of a trading system. There is risk involved as you can lose money – essentially it is about predicting horses that will reduce in price and trading them for profit.

So some of them may actually drift in price and you could lose out – although Mike claims that he is correct in his predictions 90% of the time. We will see if that is borne out during the trial.

Upon joining, you are provided with a 30-page PDF to read explaining how the system works. As ever with Mike’s products, there are also very helpful training videos and a calculator to work out the trades.

You are provided with e-mails in the evening telling you which horses to back and at what price.

Then the next morning you check back and lay off your bets on Betfair or your exchange of choice  – or you can wait until closer to race time if you are able to be at your computer later in the day.

So overall an interesting and imaginative approach to making profits – as we have come to expect from Mike Cruickshank. 

Whether it can deliver, well only time will tell, but we are hopeful. 

Check back here for updates on how the trial goes.

In the meantime, you can check out Bookie Blowout here.

The Racing King Full Review

 

We seem to have a bit of a theme at the moment – neutral reviews. 

We have another one here with the Racing King (formerly the Each Way King). This one is at least a bit more straightforward than the previous two which fell slightly between two stools and were difficult to grade. 

But this has ended up just 3 points down after three months so there seems no other fair verdict than a neutral rating.

Things got off to a promising start as they went over 30 points up early on, but sadly those early gains were given away in a steady trend downwards, as you can see below:

Each Way King Profit Graph

It’s a nice easy service to follow with just two bets per day and betting each way means you have a higher strike rate so the losing runs are shorter.

For the time being though, this is one to watch and to see if results pick up over the longer term.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: There are just 2 bets per day on average and workload is minimal with this service – should only take a few minutes each day to place the bets.

Availability of prices: There was no issue with the availability of prices, although there was a small difference between the advised prices and Betfair SP (14 points over the course of the trial) so it may be best to take early prices to make the most of the service. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 28%, which is just very slightly below the long-term average of 29.5%. 

Advised Betting Bank: No bank was advised when we signed up so we used a 100 point bank, which was more than comfortable for the trial.   

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are £5 first 14 days then £25/month or £60/quarter.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL  

It has been one of those slightly quiet trials for the Racing King where not a great deal has happened to be honest.

Fortunes have fluctuated a little bit during the trial but in the end they finished 3 points down, so very close to breaking even.

It’s a nice easy service to follow and betting each way gives you shorter losing runs, which is always appreciated.

So after just about breaking even, the only reasonable verdict seems to be a neutral rating. We will keep an eye on the Racing King for a while and see where the service ends up going.

You can check out the Racing King here.

 

*Please note this service was previously called the Each Way King and was part of the Betting Gods network.

Each Way King – Results Update

24th January 2016

It’s been a case of treading water really for the Each Way King since our last update, with just one point lost at advised prices and 4 points lost at Betfair SP.

That means for the trial overall they are 1 point up at advised prices and 12 points down at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

With just a couple of weeks left in the trial it will be interesting to see if they can push on and finish in profit.

Back with our final review soon.

Each Way King – Results Update

28th December 2015

There has been something of a reversal for the Each Way King since our last update just over a month ago.

They have dropped 25 points at advised prices and 26 points at Betfair SP over the last month.

That means they are just 2 points in profit at advised prices and 8 points down at Betfair SP for the trial as a whole.

You can view full results here.

Hopefully there will be an upturn for them as we head into the New Year. Back soon with more updates.

Each Way King – Results Update

21st November 2015

It has been a good start to our trial of Each Way King, who are 27 points up at advised prices and 18 points up at Betfair SP after three weeks of results.

You can view full results here.

This is a fairly easy service to follow, with just a couple of bets per day. 

We are noting a bit of a gap opening up already between advised prices and Betfair SP though, so this will be something to keep an eye on.

Anyway, a good start to the trial and let’s hope they continue in the same vein.

Each Way King – New Review

2nd November 2015

It would be fair to say that most tipsters like to bet “on the nose” as it were. It is about picking winners they would say. To be fair there is a certain attraction about the simplicity of that approach.

However, on the other side you have those who would argue that backing each-way allows you to profit when your horses run well but don’t quite get the job done, whether it be due to bad luck, ill-suiting conditions or just not quite being good enough on the day.

Another advantage to backing each-way is that it enables you to build a bank more steadily, with a higher strike rate and shorter losing runs.

Anyway, whichever approach you prefer, sitting squarely on the latter side of the argument is a new service we are trialing, Each Way King from the Betting Gods stable. 

Well so far the each-way style certainly seems to be working for them, with over 170 points profit accumulated since the service started in June.

That has been achieved with a 30% strike rate and 35% return on investment, which is excellent going.

Staking is nice and simple at between 0.5 and 1 points each way on each selection, so no crazy staking system to inflate results.

There are generally around 2 bets per day, so it should be fairly manageable in terms of workload. 

We will run our normal three month trial and see if this can deliver us some royal profits. 

In the meantime, you can check out Each Way King here.

All Weather Profits – Final Review

Profit/loss:   +26 points
Strike Rate:    19%
Bank Growth:   18%
Cost:   £3.79 for first month then £14.95/month or £29.95/quarter

All Weather Profits – Full Review

 

Well after three months and 278 bets our trial of All Weather Profits has come to an end. Overall it has managed a profit of 26 points to 2 point level stakes.

The service is a simple horse racing tipster that bets only on the all-weather (as you may have guessed from the name). 

Bets are sent out each morning and are simply backed at Betfair SP.

The trial got off to a tough start, dipping down to -56 points at one stage but recovered nicely to finish in profit, as you can see from the graph below:

All Weather Profits Graph

This is a difficult one to give a verdict on as it has made a profit over the trial and in some ways we were close to giving this a passed rating. 

However, on balance we feel that a bank growth of 18% over three months isn’t quite enough to merit an approved rating. 

To one point level stakes the profit would be 13 points, which is a bit below what would be required to give a resounding thumbs up. 

Remember we have services like Master Racing Tipster and Racing Gold that have achieved well over 100% bank growth over their respective trials.

Ultimately the question we ask when considering a recommending rating is “would you recommend this to a friend?” 

Certainly we wouldn’t warn a friend off this but we wouldn’t go rushing to them imploring them to sign up either.

You may well want to give this a go and add it to your portfolio, but for us in the end it is a neutral rating, just below a pass. 

There is a lot to like about the service – all tips are simply backed at Betfair SP, which makes it easy to follow and you know you can at least match the published results, if not beat them. Plus the subscription costs are low at under £15 per month, with the first month for just £3.79. 

So perhaps worth giving a go, bearing in mind the long term results of over 500 points profit in two years of tipping.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The bets are sent out by e-mail each morning and with an average of 3 tips per day, the workload is very manageable. Nice and simple to follow.

Availability of prices: With all selections advised at Betfair SP, you are guaranteed at least matching the advised prices and if you wanted to shop around, no doubt you could do a little better. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 19%, so a little bit of patience will be required with this service.

Advised Betting Bank: The advised bank was 150 points, which was plenty and never in threat during the trial, with the low point being 56 points down.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are very reasonable at just £3.79 for first month then £14.95/month, £29.95/quarter or £119.95 for lifetime.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

It’s been a solid performance by All Weather Profits over the course of our trial and any service that finishes in profit after 3 months should be commended.

We were close to giving this a recommended rating, but just felt in the end that 18% growth of the bank over three months wasn’t quite enough.

However, we are mindful that the previous results published on the Tipster Street show over 500 points profit, so it is one we will keep an eye on and see how things progress going forward.

All Weather Profits – Results Update

26th December 2015

It’s been a good turnaround for All Weather Profits, who have banked 83 points profit since our last update just over a month ago.

That is largely down to an impressive 33/1 winner at Kempton on 25th November, which at their standard 2 point stakes netted a whopping 73 points profit.

They now stand at +44 points for the trial overall, which is good stuff.

You can view full results here.

As we mentioned previously, they use 2 point staking for all their selections, so at 1 point level stakes this would be 22 points up so far.

Anyway, good to see the positive progress being made and let’s hope it continues. We will be back soon with more updates.

All Weather Profits – Results Update

20th November 2015

It has been a tough start to our trial of All Weather Profits, who are 39 points down after a month of results. 

You can view full results here.

All bets are 2 point win bets, which is a bit strange because it essentially just means you are doubling everything – whether good or bad. In this case it has been bad, as they would be just 19 points down to 1 point level stakes.

Anyway, all results are recorded to Betfair SP which makes following the service easy and we know we can match the published results. 

The all-weather season is only just getting going so hopefully we will see their results pick up in the coming weeks as the form becomes a bit more established.

Check back here for updates on how things go.

All Weather Profits – New Review

22nd October 2015

As the evenings start to close in and the air turns rather chilly, thoughts in the flat horse racing world turn to the fibresand and polytrack.

What are we talking about you may ask? All weather racing of course.

Yes that gift from our American cousins – racing on dirt – comes in very handy when the weather turns foul and many national hunt meetings are cancelled or run on swamp-like ground.

All weather racing is steadily growing in popularity in the UK and Ireland, with more race meetings, new courses like Chelmsford opening – or at least reopening – greater prize funds and higher quality of horses running.

Certainly with the likes of Godolphin lavishing vast sums of money on their all-weather operation, it appears that racing on dirt is here to stay and will just grow and grow. At least it allows us flat racing fans to continue our betting habit throughout the Winter anyway.

So with the all-weather season about to get into full swing, it is with much relish that we start a trial of an all-weather specialist horse racing tipster.

All Weather Profits

Enter stage right All Weather Profits, a service from the Tipster Street stables with an impressive record of nearly 500 points profit since the service started in January 2014, which works out at 23 points per month. 

That has been earned with an impressive 17% return on investment and a solid strike rate of 22%. 

There are approximately two bets per day, so it should be reasonably straightforward to follow.

Subscription costs are very reasonable at £3.79 for the first month then £14.95 per month or £29.95 per quarter.

We will run our usual three month trial for this one which will give us a nice chunk of the all-weather season to enjoy.

Check back here for updates.

In the meantime you can can view All Weather Profits here.

Daily Nap Full Review

 

Oh dear! Poor old Daily Nap. One minute you are moving along steadily providing your daily tips and then suddenly – whoosh! You are gone.

Sadly the Daily Nap is no longer available on the Betting Gods website and has been pulled from service, so making this review somewhat redundant. The tips are still available to current subscribers but not to new ones.

It seems like it really is law of the jungle out there in tipping – you either need to hit the big time quickly or you are squashed.

We feel a bit sorry for this one, it wasn’t like they were doing terribly, just a 15 point loss so far. 

But there doesn’t seem to be much doing an in-depth review here other than to say there were things to like about this service, including all the results being recorded at Betfair SP and with just one tip per day, it was super-easy to follow.

Things started off promisingly but we have sadly finished the trial in deficit, with 14 losers from the last 15 bets rather putting the kibosh on things. 

Oh well, there you are! I suppose if things improve and this service is re-offered to the public we may update this review. Otherwise it is adios to the Daily Nap – we are off for a siesta…

Daily Nap – Results Update

26th December 2015

A slight decline for the Daily Nap since our last update just over a month ago. They have lost just over 3 points in that time to sit 5.67 points down overall.

You can view full results here.

Whilst we would normally be concluding the trial at this point after 3 months, we are yet to hit the minimum 100 bet mark so will run the trial for another month.

So back in a month’s time with our final thoughts on the Daily Nap. 

 

 

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

Daily Nap – Results Update

19th November 2015

Still fairly quiet times for the Daily Nap since our last update three weeks ago – so quiet in fact that maybe they have been having a nap themselves!

No we joke of course, they have still been supplying tips everyday but it has been quiet in terms of the results with just 3 points gained since our last update.

That leaves them 2 points down overall after two months of the trial.

You can view full results here.

So no disaster but more work to be done to get things moving into the black.

Back soon with further updates.

Daily Nap – Results Update

Let’s see if they can pick up the pace a bit during the remainder of the trial – otherwise we may have to go off for a little nap ourselves…

Daily Nap – Results Update

7th October 2015

Now despite what you may be thinking, the Daily Nap isn’t something devoted to describing those late-afternoon snoozes we all think about taking at work when we’ve had a long day – it is in fact a horse racing tipster who provides one selection per day – their “nap.”

The service started tipping in March and has managed a very good strike rate of 44% since then.

We started our trial on 20th September, so how have things been going?

Well, overall they are slightly down, standing at -3.69 points so far.

You can view full results here.

But what is interesting is that it has been something of a mini-roller coaster so far. They started with 7 losers in a row, which was obviously a tough start. 

Then they hit 5 winners in a row – great stuff! 

That was followed by four losers, until we had a winner yesterday. Hopefully that’s the start of another winning run.

The nice thing about this service is that all selections are simply backed at Betfair SP and with only one bet day, it is super-easy to follow.

We’ll return soon with more updates on whether the roller coaster ride continues!

 

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

Daily Nap – New Review

20th September 2015

There is something quite appealing about tipsters that provide just one tip per day.

For starters, it means minimal time on the part of the punter to get the bets on. 

Secondly, it makes you feel like the one tip is the very strongest bet of the day and must have a lot going for it. 

On the other hand, one could argue that there shouldn’t be a pre-set number of tips, whether it be one, two, or any other number and the tipster should just tip as many horses as they believe will win on a given day.

The results of the Daily Nap tipping service so far suggest the former argument wins out over the latter, as they have amassed a very impressive 48 points profit to one point level stakes at a return on investment (ROI) of 26.17% in 4 months.

That is at a high strike rate as well at 44%, which is always good to see. Even more encouraging is that those results are to Betfair SP, so no fantasy prices that are unobtainable. 

As usual, we will conduct a three month trial of this service and see if it can live up to its previous results under test conditions.

We will provide regular updates on its progress during the trial, but in the meantime you can check out the Daily Nap here.

iWinSoccerBets – Full Review

 

Following fast on the heels of our final review of the Football Tipster we have iWinSoccerBets which has just finished its three month trial here at Honest Betting Reviews.

Our comments for both services are quite similar, in that they both finished in a loss for the trial but the losses were small so it was not a disaster.

In the case of iWinSoccerBets, the loss was -8 points, which represented a 16% loss of the bank.

Here is how the trial went in graph format:

iWinSoccerBets Profit Graph

It was quite a steady decline until a bit of a rally late on. 

In general it does seem it’s much tougher to make a profit betting on football than on horse racing.

So far we have only passed one football betting system or tipster (Banker Bets) and that service tips not only on football but also covers tennis and has the odd bet in US Sports.

Compare that to eight horse racing tipsters we have approved and you will get a sense of what we are talking about.

Football is just damn hard to make money out of. Yet it is the most gambled on sport in the world. The bookies must love it!

We get the feeling for a service to make money on football in the long run it has to come up with something genuinely different.

Banker Bets does it with betting at very short odds and identifying value in those selections, which is unusual and not something we had seen before from a football tipster. 

But it’s hard to make money just betting on win selections each week unless you can find a clear edge.

We didn’t really see it here with iWinSoccerBets or with the Football Tipster. That’s not to say it can’t be done, but in our view it’s a tough ask.

So the wait for a winning football-only tipster goes on…

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The bets are sent out by e-mail which is good and there are around 11 bets per week, so the workload is very manageable. 

Availability of prices: Most of the selections are in the main European and English leagues, so there is no problem with the availability of prices. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 53%, which is fairly solid. To make a profit it would probably need to be closer to 60% though. 

Advised Betting Bank: There wasn’t a specific betting bank advised but we used a 50 point bank for the trial, which was more than comfortable. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are a little on the high side – particularly based on the results so far – at £29 for 14 days or £49 per month. There are free tips available though. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Well it’s another football service finishing in a loss and we are seeing something of a pattern here.

The loss for iWinSoccerBets was 8 points, which was disappointing over the course of three months. There have certainly been some strange results lately in the Premier League which may account for some of the difficulties encountered. 

So although this not delivered the hoped-for profits, it is not quite bad enough for us to give it a fail either. A 16% loss of the bank is no disaster.

Perhaps one to keep an eye on as it is a relative newcomer and results may pick up as they get themselves established. 

The good thing is you can join for free and test them out for a while before deciding whether to go to the paid tips, which may be the best option here at the moment.

As we have said elsewhere, it has been a tough time for football tipsters lately with a spate of strange results.

Still time left for iWinSoccerBets to turn it round though and finish the trial in profit.

iWinSoccerBets – Results Update

7th November 2015

It has been a slow but steady start for iWinSoccerBets to their trial, with 2.46 points accumulated after a month of tipping. 

You can view full results here.

It is always harder to make big profits on football than on horse racing as you are betting at much lower odds, so 2.65 points isn’t too bad. We think any service that can manage 5 points per month betting on football to 1 point level stakes is doing very well.

They have had a couple of nice winners at tasty odds, including Liverpool to beat Chelsea at 4.22 and Stoke to beat Swansea at 3.96.

The good thing is that tips are pretty much all in the big leagues, so there is no problem getting the advised odds or getting the bets on.

So a solid start for iWinSoccerBets – let’s hope things continue in positive fashion.

Back soon with more updates.

iWinSoccerBets – New Review

2nd October 2015

Following on from our recent article about who is the best football tipster, today we are commencing another trial of a football tipster.

Our quest here at Honest Betting Reviews is to find the very best football tipsters. So we are always on the look out for new talent and we may have found something promising in the form of iWinSoccerBets. 

This is a relatively new football tipping service that operates both free tips and “VIP” paid tips.

They tip across leagues from around the world and whilst focusing mainly on the match odds market, also tip in markets such as both teams to score and over/under markets.

They use historical and statistical modelling to come up with the selections and you are provided with the historical data behind the tips, which is always reassuring. You do sometimes wonder with some tipping services where there is no reasoning behind the tip whether they are just plucking the selections out of thin air!

We will undertake our normal three month review and see how this one gets on. With the footy season in full swing it’s a good time to get involved with football betting as there is a good bank of results now to go on.

You can check back here soon for results updates, but in the meantime if you want to view iWonSoccerBets, you can click here.

Football Tipster Full Review

It’s been five long months since we started our trial of the Football Tipster and we have finally reached the 100 bet mark.

It has been a rather agonising trial as well in the sense that very little has happened over the five months.

We have finished with an 88 point deficit which represents a small 8% loss of the bank, which is disappointing but isn’t a catastrophe either.

There was something of a recovery for the service as at one point it was over 300 points down, as you can see from the graph below.

Football Tipster Profit Graph

Most of the bets are in the Premiership and major European leagues with only about 5 bets per week, it’s an easy service to follow. 

Rather frustratingly, they haven’t updated results on their website since August 2015 and when you click on the “results” tab it just brings up an error.

It always worries us when results aren’t regularly updated on a website, particularly when a tipster is struggling so that gives us cause for concern here.

Certainly we haven’t seen anything to back up the claim on their website that you can make£19,873.50 per year are realistic. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: There are only around 5 bets per week and the tips are normally sent out on a Friday, giving you plenty of time to get the bets on. With the bets being in the major European leagues, there is no problem with liquidity. 

Availability of prices: As above, there is no problem with the availability of prices. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 47%, which is a bit lower than it needs to be if this service is going to make a profit. We would expect a strike rate of over 50% would be needed in the long term. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 1000 point bank was advised for the trial, which was comfortable and although we went over 300 points down at one point, that only represented about 30% of the bank, so the advised bank seems appropriate.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are reasonable, with a free 14 day trial available followed by £14.95 per month or £67 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

It has been quite a long and agonising trial of the Football Tipster, who after 5 months made an 8% loss of the bank.

Although it is disappointing to make a loss, it hasn’t been a collapse either and so we feel a neutral verdict is fair in the end as we are close to breaking even.

But we do have concerns over the fact that results haven’t been updated on the website for over 5 months and over the claims of being able to make over £19,000 per year from the service, which haven’t been backed up by our trial. 

So this is probably one to leave alone for now and won’t be a service we add to our portfolio.

Football Tipster – Results Update

11th December 2015

Unfortunately there has been a slight downturn for the Football Tipster since our last update a month ago.

He has lost 40 points over that time, putting him 161 points down for the trial so far. 

You can view full results here.

We are slowly creeping towards the minimum 100 bet mark, with 81 bets recorded to date. This is a very selective service, but so far being so choosy doesn’t seem to be doing them much good.

Anyway, still time to turn things around and finish in profit. Check back here for our latest update in about a month’s time.

Football Tipster – Results Update

10th November 2015

The Football Tipster has made something of a mini-revival since our last update, with 88 points profit made over the last month or so.

That takes him to -121 points overall. 

You can view full results here.

As we have said before, 121 points down isn’t as bad as it sounds with average stakes of around 35 points. It actually equates to about 3.5 points down if he was tipping to 1-2 point stakes, so nothing too much to worry about.

Some good winners lately include laying Arsenal against Spurs and laying Chelsea against both Liverpool and Stoke. Laying Chelsea seems like a fairly sensible policy at the moment!

Anyway, let’s hope the revival continues for them over the remainder of the trial.

Just a note to say that although we are nearly at the three month mark when we would normally be concluding the trial, there have only been 60 bets so far and we normally require 100 bets to form a conclusion, so we will be running this trial for a couple more months. 

Back soon with more updates.

It has continued to be something of a struggle for the Football Tipster, who has lost a further 59 points since our last update.

They now sit 209 points down overall.

You can view full results here.

As we said last time though, this sounds worse than it actually is as they tend to bet in 25 or 50 unit stakes.

The good thing about the service is that bets are nearly all in top leagues like the Premiership, Primera Division or Euro qualifiers, so there is no problem getting bets matched etc and no going hunting around for odds from the Kazakhstani second division here!

We will be back soon to see if things have turned around for the Football Tipster.

Football Tipster – Results Update

8th September 2015

It’s been a slow start – in more ways than one – for the Football Tipster.

Firstly, there are very few tips provided, usually only three or four a week. That means it will take a long time to get to our normal 100 bet minimum to judge the service.

Secondly, of the bets provided so far, unfortunately things have got off to a bad start and the service sits 150 points down so far. 

They tend to bet in 25 or 50 unit stakes, so you could say it is about 6 points down so far to 1 point stakes.

You can view full results here.

Most of the bets are in the big leagues like the Premiership or the recent international matches, so you should have no problem obtaining the prices or getting your bets on.

We will have to sit back and see how this slow burner develops, but in the meantime you can check out the Football Tipster here.
