Football Edge – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , , /by

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

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

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

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

Football Edge – Results Update

18th April 2024

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

That means they are now £1183 down for our trial overall to advised stakes. 

You can view full results here. 

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

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

Football Edge – Results Update

6th March 2024

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

You can view full results here. 

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

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

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

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

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

Football Edge – New Review

10th January 2024

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

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

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

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

         Total: +£14,827

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Winning Post Profits – Full Review

 

Winning Post Profits is a horse racing tipster based at the Sure Win tipster platform and they have been going since June 2021. So just over 3 years now.

The tips are provided by a chap called Sam Darby and come with detailed write-ups explaining the reasoning behind the selections. 

Sam uses a variety of bet types including singles, doubles, trebles, forecasts and the like. These multiple bets can be at very large odds of 500/1+ so there is the opportunity to land a massive winner.

As mentioned during our review, the staking is more variable than with most tipsters we review, with up to 14 points per bet being staked.

Some bets for example are 4pts e/w or 5pts e/w.

Sam says the reason for using this staking is: “to try to make it less confusing for people when recommending very small stakes forecasts or multis. I took the view that people are more likely to be confused by 0.05 points stakes than 0.5 points stakes, so I made the stakes for standard singles higher to hopefully make it clearer/less confusing.”

That makes sense really in view of the multiple bets the service uses, to keep everything in proportion. 

Anyway, we followed the service for 6 months which gave us a good sample size of 194 bets. 

At the end of our review they finished with a solid profit of 13 points. 

That was achieved with a strike rate of 27% (including placed horses) and a return on investment (ROI) of 2%. 

The service advises using a 300 point betting bank, so the growth in the bank over the course of our trial was only 4%.

At Betfair SP the results weren’t quite as good, with a loss of 41 points made, so it looks like you will need bookie accounts to make the most of this service. 

Overall then given just a small profit was made and the low bank growth and ROI over our trial, it only seems fair to award Winning Post Profits a NEUTRAL rating. 

A decent effort to have made a slight profit, but it’s not quite enough in context of the overall metrics to warrant a passed rating at this stage. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out e-mail, usually in the afternoon or evening before racing. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1 bets per day on average the workload is pretty manageable. Most bets come at the weekends, so there are often no bets for a few days during the week then around 4-5 bets on a Friday/Saturday. 

Availability of prices: We didn’t experience too many issues with price availability during the course of our trial. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 27% (including placed horses).

Advised Betting Bank: A 300 point betting bank is recommended for following the service. That seems fairly reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during our trial. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £39 per month or £327 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

After a six month trial, horse racing tipster Winning Post Profits finished with a profit of 13 points at advised prices.  

With an ROI of 2% and bank growth of 4%, the service receives a NEUTRAL rating from us.

A solid effort but not quite enough to merit a passed rating at this stage.

Winning Post Profits – Results Update

12th September 2024

Things have picked up nicely for horse racing tipster Winning Post Profits, with a profit of 42 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 9 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

Things have also picked up at Betfair SP, with a profit of 39 points made since our last update. However, they are still 28 points down for our trial overall at BSP. 

As mentioned before, the staking with this service is more variable than with most tipsters we review, with up to 14 points per bet being staked so that is to be borne in mind when viewing the results and when choosing an appropriate betting bank for the service if you have signed up.

Winning Post Profits – Results Update

9th August 2024

It’s been a tough time lately for horse racing tipster Winning Post Profits, with a loss of 41 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 33 points down at advised prices for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

They have fared somewhat worse at Betfair SP, with a loss of 48 points made since our last update and a loss of 67 points made for our trial overall at BSP. 

In our last update we mentioned that the staking with this service goes up to 14 points per bet, which we described as “quite aggressive.”

However, Sam who runs the service points out that “The points totals used will be higher than what most are used to and that doesn’t mean the £ stakes should be higher but more that followers will want to adjust their £ per point staking that they have used elsewhere.

The reason I’ve always used a higher points total is to try to make it less confusing for people when recommending very small stakes forecasts or multis. I took the view that people are more likely to be confused by 0.05 points stakes than 0.5 points stakes, so I made the stakes for standard singles higher to hopefully make it clearer/less confusing.”

So in light of this information – and a 300 point bank being recommended for the service – it is perhaps better to describe the staking as more “variable” rather than “aggressive” than other services. 

Anyway, hopefully that clears things up and the staking used makes sense in context of the multis etc being used. It also should be noted that this makes the current results look worse than they actually are, as at 1pt stakes the loss would be obviously much lower.

Winning Post Profits – Results Update

6th May 2024

It’s been a better time lately for horse racing tipster Winning Post Profits, with a profit of 56 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 9 points up at advised prices for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

They have fared a little worse at Betfair SP, with a profit of 40 points made since our last update but a loss of 19 points made for our trial so far at BSP. 

It’s worth pointing out that staking is quite aggressive with this service at up to 14 points per bet, with some 8 and 10 point bets so far, so it can be quite volatile with this tipster. 

A 300 point bank is recommended for following the service, but it could be prudent to go with a slightly larger bank to be on the safe side here.

Winning Post Profits – Results Update

6th May 2024

It’s been a tough start to our trial of horse racing tipster Winning Post Profits, with a loss of 47 points made to advised prices for our trial to date.

You can view full results here.

It’s a similar story at Betfair SP, with a loss of 59 points made for our trial so far. 

It’s worth pointing out that staking is quite aggressive with this service at up to 14 points per bet, with some 8 and 10 point bets so far, so the results are certainly not as bad as they at first seem. 

A 300 point bank is recommended for following the service, so most of the bank is still in tact.

Winning Post Profits – New Review

2nd April 2024

We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing service called Winning Post Profits. 

They are based at the Sure Win tipster platform and have been going since June 2021, so just under 3 years now. 

The reported results in that time have been stellar, with over 1,000 points profit made in total. 

That has been achieved with a solid strike rate of 36% and an excellent return on investment of 29%. 

The staking is quite aggressive with this service at up to 14 points per bet, so that needs to be taken into account both in terms of the profit total and the betting bank needed to follow the service. 

A 300 point bank is recommended for following the service which takes this larger staking into account. 

It is somewhat more of a selective service than many horse racing tipsters out there, with around 5 bets per week on average. 

Tips are normally sent out the evening before racing, giving plenty of time to get the bets on. 

The service is flat only and normally runs from March through December so it is a good time to be starting a review. 

We will kick things off today then and will report back here soon as how things are going. 

In the meantime you can check out Winning Post Profits for yourself here.

Second Class Racing – Full Review

 

Second Class Racing is a horse racing laying service run out of the Betchat stable of tipsters, with tips provided by a chap called Mel Gee. 

Mel and Betchat are the same team behind another service we are currently reviewing – First Class Racing. 

Whilst that service focuses on selective back bets in top class racing, Second Class Racing does the opposite – it provides lay bets at a higher volume and in all classes of racing.

Over the years we’ve found very few successful laying services – really the only one being Little Acorns – and its complimentary service, Little Acorns Gold, which passed a review back in October 2022. 

So we approached this review with a bit of trepidation to see whether another laying service could finally pass a review.

We wanted to give the service a proper look as there can be quite a bit of variance in laying services, so we followed the service for just over 6 months and proofed more than 500 bets in that time. 

Selections are sent out via Telegram, where Mel posts a screenshot from Betfair with this picks, which looks like this:-

So you take a look at those and then try to place lay bets at the same price Mel has got. 

The rules of the service are to lay at the advised price (always between 3.0 and 6.0) and not to take a larger price.

If a lay isn’t matched at the advised price, then it’s no bet. 

You do not select “keep in play” or “take SP” on Betfair and there is no trading – it’s a “set and forget” approach. . 

Not all of your lay bets will be matched but that’s okay – Betchat say that over the long run it should balance out in terms of missing both winning and losing lays. 

In our own experience that was very much the case – we did have a few selections that we weren’t matched on over the course of the trial but a few of those were losers (as in the horse won), so it was actually a relief to have missed them. 

There were also a few winning lays we weren’t matched on so overall it pretty much balanced out. 

Anyway, after six months and 500 bets, how did it pan out?

Well we are pleased to report that a profit of 70 points was made, which is no mean feat in laying terms. 

That was achieved with a very high strike rate of 85%, so the vast majority of lays were successful. 

As is often the case with these things however, the unsuccessful lays did tend to come in batches. 

Call it “natural variance,” “bad luck” or whatever you prefer, but either way it can be a little testing when you get a bunch of losers close together and your bank takes a significant hit. 

However, in the long run Mel always bounced back and produced good runs of successful lays to rebuild the bank and ultimately finish the trial with a very healthy profit.

Whilst they do NOT advise following the service at Betfair SP, we also tracked the results at BSP just out of interest. 

Laying all the selections at BSP would have given a profit of 70 points, exactly the same total as taking the advised prices.

Laying only those selections with a BSP below 6 (Mel’s cut-off point for a selection), would have given a profit of 52 points, which is mainly due to having less bets – only 334 compared to 500 following the recommended approach. 

Whichever way you skin it then it’s been a very good trial and we are pleased to award Second Class Racing a PASSED rating. 

That’s only the second laying service to have passed a review here at HBR (and still be operational), so well done to Mel Gee and the Betchat team! 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out by Telegram, usually around midday UK time on the day of racing. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 2-3 bets per day on average the workload is very manageable. 

Availability of prices: As discussed above, there were some instances of prices being missed but overall this balanced out and wasn’t really an issue. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was very good at 85%, meaning a very high proportion of winning lays. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point bank is recommended for following the service which seems reasonable to us and was more than enough to cope with the ups and downs during our trial.

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are quite high at £199.97 per quarter or £599.97 per year, so realistically to make it worthwhile you would probably need a betting bank of at least £2,000. 

That’s based on a recommended betting bank of 100 points, so that would be £20 per lay. 

For our review period that would have produced £1400 profit, minus just under £400 in subscription costs if paying quarterly.  

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Making a profit from lay betting is very tough. Testament to this is the fact that only one laying service has passed a review here at HBR and is still going – Little Acorns. 

So it’s great to be able to say we finally have another successful trial of a laying service, with Second Class Racing producing 70 points profit at both advised prices and BSP. 

It achieved that with a very high strike rate of 85% and gets a firm thumbs up from us with a PASSED rating. 

With the subscription costs being quite high however we would recommend at least a £2,000 betting bank to make it worthwhile signing up. 

For those that are able to stake at or above that level, Second Class Racing has produced excellent results over a six month trial and is well worth checking out.

Second Class Racing – Results Update

25th April 2024

It’s been an excellent month for horse racing laying service Second Class Racing, with a profit of 35 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 60 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.

You can view full results here.

The rules of the service are to lay at the advised price (always between 3.0 and 6.0) and not to take a larger price. If a lay isn’t matched at the advised price, then it’s a no bet. 

There is no trading – it’s a “set and forget” approach. 

Whilst they do NOT advise following the service at Betfair SP, we have also tracked the results at BSP just out of interest. 

Laying all the selections at BSP would have given a profit of 40 points since our last update and a profit of 59 points for our trial overall thus far.

Laying only those selections with a BSP below 6 (Mel’s cut-off point for a selection), would have given a profit of 53 points so far.

So all in all the results have been pretty similar whichever approach you’ve followed.

Second Class Racing – Results Update

21st March 2024

Whilst they do NOT advise following the service at Betfair SP, we have also tracked the results at BSP just out of interest. 

Laying all the selections at BSP would have given a profit of 21 points since our last update and a profit of 19 points for our trial overall thus far.

Laying only those selections with a BSP below 6 (Mel’s cut-off point for a selection), would have given a profit of 30 points so far.

Second Class Racing – Results Update

12th February 2024

It’s been a tough time lately for horse racing laying service Second Class Racing, with a loss of 33 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 10 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.

You can view full results here.

The rules of the service are to lay at the advised price (always between 3.0 and 6.0) and not to take a larger price. If a lay isn’t matched at the advised price, then it’s a no bet. 

There is no trading – it’s a “set and forget” approach. 

Whilst they do NOT advise following the service at Betfair SP, we have also tracked the results at BSP just out of interest. 

Laying all the selections at BSP would have given a loss of 36 points since our last update and a loss of 2 points for our trial overall thus far.

Laying only those selections with a BSP below 6 (Mel’s cut-off point for a selection), would have given a profit of 22 points so far.

Just a note to say I’ve seen a few comments in the group chat about the recent losses and whilst it’s fully understandable to be disappointed, it’s important to take a long-term view of the results. 

That’s why we always advise allowing for the full review to be completed before deciding whether to sign up to a service or not.

We tend to run reviews for at least six months these days – and often much longer – which allows us to get a really good look at a service and a big sample size of bets. 

Reviewing over these extended periods allows us to cut out the “noise” of short-term fluctuations and see whether a service has a clear edge over the market. 

So we have to give this one a little more time to play out before reaching a verdict. The recent losses have been tough to take but let’s see where they end up at by the end of the review.

Second Class Racing – Results Update

9th January 2024

More strong progress lately for horse racing laying service Second Class Racing, with a profit of 16 points made to advised prices since our last update.

Whilst they do NOT advise following the service at Betfair SP, we have also tracked the results at BSP just out of interest. 

Laying all the selections at BSP would have given a profit of 17 points since our last update and 34 points profit for our trial overall thus far.

Laying only those selections with a BSP below 6.0 (Mel’s cut-off point for a selection), would have given a profit of 37 points so far.

Whichever way you’d been following the selections then would have given a very healthy profit since our trial started.

11th December 2023

It’s been a strong start to our trial of horse racing laying service Second Class Racing, with a profit of 27 points made to advised prices so far after six weeks.

The rules of the service are to lay at the advised price (always between 3.0 and 6.0) and not to take a larger price. If a lay isn’t matched at the advised price, then it’s a no bet. 

There is no trading – it’s a “set and forget” approach. 

Whilst they do NOT advise following the service at Betfair SP, we have also tracked the results at BSP just out of interest.

However, laying only those selections with a BSP below 6.0 (Mel’s cut-off point for a selection), would have given a profit of 29 points so far.

So will be interesting to see if that’s maintained during the rest of the review.

Second Class Racing – New Review

3rd November 2023

Today we are starting a new trial of a horse racing service called Second Class Racing. 

This comes from the same guy (Mel Gee) behind another service we are currently reviewing – First Class Racing. 

Whilst that service focuses on selective back bets in top class racing, Second Class Racing kind of does the opposite – it provides lay bets at a much higher volume (up to 12 bets per day) and in various classes of racing, not just top class racing. 

The results of the service so far have been very impressive:-

After 24 weeks the selections have:

  • Made £1,421 to 10 stakes…
  • Made an average of £59 per week…
  • Made a Return On Investment (ROI) of 17.5%…
  • And achieved a strike rate of 85% (691 bets won out of 811).

So pretty strong results there, although it is still early days.

To find the selections Mel looks at Betfair between around 11 and 12 in the morning UK time and then posts the lay bets on Telegram with a screenshot of the lays placed on Betfair. 

Not all of the selections will be matched and Mel’s advice is not to go chasing the prices – if a selection isn’t matched at the advised price, he says to just leave it. 

All prices are between 3.0 and 6.0 so there is no risk of one unsuccessful lay wiping out your whole bank at huge odds as is the case with some laying services.

It is a “set and forget” strategy so once you have entered the lay bet on Betfair that is it – there is nothing further to do like trading or monitoring the market, your work for the day is done. 

So a very novel approach here and it will be interesting to see how this one fares under a live trial. It would be good to have a profitable laying service as they have been few and far between over the years.  

We will kick things off today then and will report back here soon on how it’s all going.

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

 

 

 

 

Scottish Confidential – 4 Year Update

/2 Comments/in , , , /by

We originally reviewed Scottish Confidential (previously known as the Scottish Football Income Booster) back between 2020 and 2022. 

It performed solidly in that trial but didn’t set the world alight and finished with a NEUTRAL rating. 

However, we have continued to proof the selections since our trial ended and there has been a significant improvement in performance over the last two years. 

Since our review ended, they have added a very impressive 65 points profit. 

That would be £6,500 profit at £100 per point stakes or £1,625 profit at £25 per point. 

You can view full results here.

In football terms that is top notch, where grinding out any kind of profit is typically very hard. 

They have really excelled over the last couple of years, accruing that profit at a return on investment of 10% and a strike rate of over 40%. 

As mentioned in our original trial, it’s a pretty simple service to follow. The selections are sent by e-mail, normally on Thursday and Friday ahead of the weekend’s games, giving plenty of time to get the bets on and there are around 15 bets per week.

With some of the bets coming in the Scottish League 1 and 2, prices can be a little sensitive so it is advisable to have as many bookie accounts available as possible and to get your bets on as quickly as you can.  

As long as you have access to that though we are happy to upgrade Scottish Confidential to a firm PASSED rating. 

The overall results for the service now stand at over 200 points profit, which have been proofed extensively here and elsewhere. 

That puts it in the elite level of football tipsters who have stood the test of time and produced strong profits across many years of tipping.

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

So in summary it’s a firm thumbs up from us for Scottish Confidential which has really stepped up its game over the last couple of years with 65 points profit made at a ROI of over 10%, putting it up there with the very best football tipsters.

A service well worth adding to the portfolio.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Full Review

 

The Scottish Football Income Booster (or SFIB for short) is a tipster that focuses solely on Scottish Football. The tips are provided by a chap who is known solely as “the Scotsman,” to keep his identity secret. 

The Scotsman is a university educated maths whizz based just outside Glasgow (yes, he’s Scottish!) and his CV screams “Scottish football expert“.

With previous stints at leading bookmaking firms and an Asian-based private investment syndicate as a proprietary trader, in addition to acting as a quant-based hedge fund’s go-to Scottish betting consultant after he was head-hunted because of his vast local knowledge about players, teams and motivational issues likely to affect results.

So it is quite a resume for a tipster and as we often say, the results coming into our trial looked strong with a profit of over 180 points made since starting tipping in 2015/16.

We followed the tips for 20 months, which gave us some of the period when covid lockdowns were still in place and football results were a little skew-whiff, but then a full season of post-lockdowns when things went back to normal. Overall it gave us a good sample size of just over 300 bets in total.

Most of the bets are in the match odds 1X2 market, with a few in other specialist markets such over/under 2.5 goals, draw no bet (DNB) and double chance (DC).

They provide tips across the Scottish leagues, with everything from the Premiership down to League Two. 

Whilst we gave the service a good long period to prove itself, unfortunately across the trial period it never really got going and in the end finished four points down.

That was only a -1% ROI and represented just 4% of our bank, so for all intents and purposes it pretty much broke even during our review.

On that basis we think a fair verdict here is a NEUTRAL rating, as the betting bank was still largely in tact by the end of our trial, so no damage done really.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent by e-mail, normally on Thursday and Friday ahead of the weekend’s games, giving plenty of time to get the bets on.

Availability of prices: Prices are generally available and we didn’t see any problems obtaining the recommended odds.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 44%, which isn’t too bad in itself but would need to be a little higher to achieve a profit.

Advised Betting Bank: We couldn’t see a betting bank recommended for the service but used a 100 point bank for the purposes of our trial.

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £37+VAT per month.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

We followed the Scottish Football Income Booster for a 20 month period in the hope they could produce the kind of profits reported prior to our trial, but unfortunately at the end of our trial they finished 4 points down.

That still left the vast majority of the bank in tact and the ROI was only -1%, so no damage done but overall it’s a NEUTRAL verdict for this service.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

5th May 2022

The Scottish Football Income Booster continues to move along without any great drama, with just one point lost since our last update.

That means they are now 3 points down for our trial overall.

As the season draws to a close soon we will be looking to wrap this review up shortly. Hopefully they can get into profit by the end.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

It’s been a quiet time for the Scottish Football Income Booster recently, with no change to the overall position since our last update.

That means they are still 2 points down for our trial overall.

Would be nice with just a couple of months left in the season if they could get into profit for our trial overall. Fingers crossed.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

The Scottish Football Income Booster has continued their slow and steady fightback, with a profit of 10 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 3 points up for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

This has been something of a slow-burner of a trial but it’s good to see them finally get into the green after having been behind for most of our trial.

Hopefully they can carry that form into the new year and start to build some decent profits.

 

 

 

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

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

23rd November 2021

A small improvement for the Scottish Football Income Booster over the last month, with a profit of just 1 point made since our last update.

That means they are now 7 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

As mentioned last time, they have been very unlucky with late goals this season. If games only lasted 88 minutes they would have cleaned up!

That reminds of us another football service we reviewed previously that recommended trading out at 85 minutes. By that time the odds will be around the 1.2-1.3 range so liabilities are quite small in doing so.

Something to think about anyway.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

19th October 2021

A small decline for the Scottish Football Income Booster over the last month, with a loss of just 3 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 8 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

They have been bedeviled with late goals this season. Saturday’s late one in the Kilmarnock game was a 3.8pt swing, which obviously stings a bit. Results could have a somewhat brighter look to them if not for those late goals. 

In any event, it hasn’t been a disaster or anything but the trial has just failed to really get going yet. 

 

 

 

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

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

14th September 2021

Not much change for the Scottish Football Income Booster over the last month, with a profit of just 1 point made since our last update.

That means they are now just 5 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

Most of the bets so far this season have been outside of the Scottish Premiership and it seems to be paying dividends concentrating on the lower divisions with positive progress made for this season so far.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

10th August 2021

The Scottish football season has already kicked off and it’s been a good start to the campaign for the Scottish Football Income Booster, with a profit of 7 points made so far.

That means picking up where we left off at the end of last season, they are now just 6 points down for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder that this is a football tipster focusing solely on Scottish football. They bet across the Scottish leagues and mainly bet on the match odds and over/under markets.

The long-term results are very good with over 174 points profit made, so let’s hope they can kick on after making a good start to the season.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

28th April 2021

It was a tough end to the season for Scottish Football Income Booster unfortunately, with a loss of 12 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 13 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

We will put this review on hold for the time being, as they are taking a break for the Summer with no Scottish football on. We will picks things up again at the start of next season. 

Hopefully they can get back on track next season when things are back to normal and crowds are back etc.

That means they are now 10 points down for our trial overall.

This trial has struggled to get going so far really. It’s been very much a case of one step forwards, two steps back as each time it looks like they are moving into the green they fall back again. 

Anyway, let’s hope they can get moving forward over the remainder of the season now and at least finish our trial in profit.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Results Update

A small step backwards for Scottish Football Income Booster lately, with a loss of 8 points made since our last update just over a month ago. 

That means they are now just one point up for our trial overall.

The Scottish leagues have been a little weather affected lately so that may have thrown the form off a tad, but hopefully as we move into the spring we will see some better returns for this tipster, also known as “The Scotsman.”

It’s been a better month for Scottish Football Income Booster, with a profit of 16 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 9 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

The bets are spread around the Scottish leagues, with some coming in the Premiership whilst a good portion are in the lower leagues. On the lower leagues the odds can get pushed in quite a bit so it’s best to get your bets as soon as possible. 

Good progress here, we’ll see if that continues.

29th November 2020

It’s been a bit of a slow start to our trial of Scottish Football Income Booster, with a loss of 7 points made after one month of following the tips.

Most of the bets are either in the match odds or under/over 2.5 goals markets, so pretty simple to follow. Let’s hope they kick on over the next month and put some profit on the board.

Scottish Football Income Booster – New Review

23rd October 2020

When it comes to betting on football, finding an edge or angle to beat the bookies can be tough. The main markets on the big five leagues – the Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1 – have huge liquidity and are generally difficult to make a profit on. Eking out a narrow 1 or 2% edge is about the best many professional gamblers hope for on the top leagues. 

One alternative approach is to focus on other leagues that don’t get such huge coverage and where things like team news, injuries, players’ form etc isn’t covered so extensively and known to everyone. 

Well the service we are looking at today is one that does exactly that, focusing solely on Scottish football and using their expert knowledge and ear to the ground to make a decent profit from the beautiful game north of Hadrian’s Wall.

The service in question is called the Scottish Football Income Booster (or SFIB for short) and the tips are provided by a chap who is known solely as “the Scotsman,” to keep his identity secret. 

The Scotsman is a university educated maths whizz based just outside Glasgow (yes, he’s Scottish!) and his CV screams “Scottish football expert“.

With previous stints at leading bookmaking firms and an Asian-based private investment syndicate as a proprietary trader, in addition to acting as a quant-based hedge fund’s go-to Scottish betting consultant after he was head-hunted because of his vast local knowledge about players, teams and motivational issues likely to affect results…

Suffice to say this guy is a bona fide expert in his field and a source of highly sought-after information. 

His retutns back that up, with results proofed elsewhere showing a profit of over 180 points since starting tipping in 2015/16.

That would be over £18,000 profit to £100/point stakes or £3,600 to more modest £20/point stakes.

Those results have been achieved with a very decent strike rate of 47% and a return on investment of over 11%, which is more than respectable in the world of football betting. 

The service comes out of the Matthew Walton stable of tipsters, who also has two of the best tipsters we have reviewed in their respective sports, namely Racing Intelligence and the Golf Insider in horse racing and golf respectively.

So from what we can gather Matthew has another hidden gem and top quality tipster this time in the sport of football. 

As we always say though, the ultimate test will be a live trial here at Honest Betting Reviews so we are looking forward to getting our review underway. 

We have just received the tips for this weekend and are raring to go, so will kick off the review today and will hopefully be toasting (with a glass of whiskey and some shortbread perhaps) a good few winners and a positive result in a few months’ time. 

In the meantime you can check out Scottish Football Income Booster (SFIB) for yourself here.

Betting Gods Premium Tips – Full Review

 

Betting Gods Premium Tips is a service that provides daily tips from a portfolio of tipsters on the Betting Gods network, across a range of different sports.

Tips come from the full suite of Betting Gods tipsters, which when we started our review was 17 expert tipsters and is now 15.

The lineup of tipster evolves over time but at the moment includes the likes of:-

  • The Bookies Enemy
  • The Footy God
  • The Outside Edge
  • The Saviour
  • Daily Footy Doubles

Some top services there with a number on the list having passed trials here at Honest Betting Reviews in their own right. 

As a member of the service you receive 4-5 tips each day, from a variety of the tipsters depending on who has strong selections for that day. 

We followed the tips for 14 months which gave us an excellent sample size of 1645 bets. 

At the end of our trial then they finished with a profit of 86 points, which is a pretty decent total. 

That was achieved with a strong strike rate of 42%, although the ROI was a little on the low side at 3%. 

That is not unusual though to have a low ROI when you have a high strike rate.

It is just a little lower than you would like to see with a 42% strike rate – somewhere in the 5-10% range would be getting towards the top range in tipping terms. 

In any event, with 86% bank growth over the course of the trial (on a 100 point bank basis – although see below on this) it’s been a strong trial and with the cost of the tips being just £7.99 per month or £69 for lifetime access (at the time of writing), it represents excellent value. 

There are many tipping services charging a lot more that deliver a lot less. This is actually one of the best value tipping services we have seen in a while. 

A couple of things to note with the service:

  1. At the moment the tips come in just football and horse racing. This is due to the nature of the tipsters on the platform at the moment and could change if tipsters in other sports join the Betting Gods network.
  2. All the profit made during our trial in effect came from the horse racing tips, which made 89 points profit. So you could choose to focus just on those. 

Overall then we’re happy to award Betting Gods Premium Tips a PASSED rating. Well worth adding their portfolio of tipsters…to your portfolio! 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out e-mail, usually around 8am UK time each day. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 4-5 bets per day on average the workload is reasonable, but manageable. 

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice too much price pressure overall over the course of our trial. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 42% (including placed horses), which kept things ticking over nicely. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank is advised for the service but we used a 100 point bank for our trial. The bank was never in jeopardy during our trial, although we did experience a drawdown of around 70 points at one stage so a 150 point bank might be more prudent here.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are very reasonable at £7.99 per month or £69 for lifetime access

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Betting Gods Premium Tips is a portfolio of tipsters providing daily tips from the betting experts across the platform’s stable.

After a 14 month trial they finished with a profit of 86 points, which is a good total. Whilst the ROI was a little on the low side at 3%, that is not too unusual to see when the strike rate is 42%. 

With a low cost of just £7.99 per month, this is a very good value service to have as part of your betting portfolio.

Betting Gods Premium Tips – New Review

25th May 2023

We are starting a new review today of a service called Premium Tips from Betting Gods.

This is something slightly different to most tipping services we review here as it is actually a portfolio of tipsters.

Tips come from the full suite of Betting Gods tipsters, which at the time of writing comprises 17 expert tipsters.

That includes luminaries such as:-

  • The Bookies Enemy
  • The Basketball Geek
  • The Outside Edge
  • NHL Betting Master
  • Euro Football Punter

So a variety of sports covered and a group of tipsters who have made over £136,000 collectively!

As a member of the service you receive 4 tips each day, from a variety of the tipsters depending on who has strong selections for that day. 

The service only went live recently (15th April) but has already produced a very healthy 64 points profit to date.

That would be £1600 profit to £25 per point stakes. 

So it’s early days but looks promising. 

We started receiving the tips on 5th May so will record results from then. As ever, results will be updated here as we go along. 

In the meantime you can check out Betting Gods Premium Tips for yourself here.

So, What Does OddsMonkey Offer Now?

If you remember OddsMonkey as just an odds matching tool, you’ll be amazed at how much it has expanded.

It’s now a full-fledged matched betting package, similar to what Outplayed offers.

The real beauty here is that you get everything in one place, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro.

When you sign up to OddsMonkey, you will get all of the following included:

  • List of New Account Offers
  • List of Existing Account Offers
  • Odds Matcher
  • Betting Calculator
  • Racing Matcher
  • Each Way Matcher
  • Acca Matcher
  • Dutching Tool
  • Tennis Matcher

Let’s break down what each of these tools brings to the table.

 

Free Bet Offers for New Accounts

As a subscriber, you’ll get full access to an extensive list of free bets and offers for opening new accounts with various bookmakers.

Right now, there are 38 offers available, all neatly categorized into sections like “bet x get x,” “risk-free bet,” and “rollover bonus.”

Each offer comes with a detailed guide on how to claim it, making the process straightforward even for beginners.

Odds Monkey Summary

You can easily track which offers you’ve completed by ticking them off the list. The clear layout and helpful guides make this a breeze.

Odds Monkey List of Offers

This feature is a goldmine if you’re regularly involved in matched betting.

You’ll also find offers for casinos, games, and bingo, ensuring there’s always something to take advantage of.

The Odds Matcher

The Odds Matcher tool is a game-changer.

It compares odds between bookies and betting exchanges like Betfair, making it easy to find the best value bets.

This tool saves you hours of manual work by showing you the top opportunities in a simple table format.

When you’re matched betting, finding close odds between the bookies and exchanges is crucial.

The Odds Matcher helps you do just that, maximizing your profit from free bets and bonuses.

Below is a look at the live table for using the Odds Matcher and setting up your matched bets.

Odds Matcher Screenshot

In the table above you can see the date and time of the event, the sport, the race or match time and the selection.

Then in red you have the rating, which tells you how much value there is in the bet. The you have the relevant bookmaker and betting exchange and the odds, which you can click through to.

Where the rating is above 100, this means the betting exchange odds are above the bookies’ odds for that selection.

 

 

The Betting Calculator

The Betting Calculator is another handy tool that takes the guesswork out of matched betting.

It tells you exactly how much to bet and how much you’ll make, ensuring you get the most out of every opportunity.

Betting Calculator Screenshot

 

Racing Matcher 

For horse racing enthusiasts, the Racing Matcher is a fantastic tool. It identifies the best odds matches for upcoming races and highlights available offers.

So for example below, you have the 12.45 at Southwell, with three offers available – £50 free with Bet365, £25 free with Betfred and £25 free with Totesport.

Then you click on one of the offers and it opens up the odds matcher with the best odds available with the exchanges to execute the offer. 

This is a nice way of working your way through the racecard in an afternoon and taking advantage of lots of free bet offers.

 

The Eachway Matcher

The Each Way Matcher is perfect for those looking to place value each-way bets in a risk-free manner.

This tool helps you identify bets where the place odds are favorable enough to guarantee a profit, regardless of the outcome.

You can typically make £5-£10 per bet, with multiple opportunities daily. Just be cautious—bookies don’t like this strategy and may limit your account if you overdo it.

 

The Acca Matcher

Football fans will love the Acca Matcher, which helps you profit from accumulator offers.

By backing an accumulator with a bookie and laying each leg on an exchange, you can lock in a profit—usually around £10 per offer, with several available during the football season.

 

Accu Matcher Screenshot

 

Dutching Tool

The Dutching Tool allows you to back all possible outcomes of an event across different bookies, guaranteeing a profit no matter what.

While this sounds great, be aware that bookies don’t take kindly to this strategy, and it could lead to account closures.

 

Tennis Matcher

Finally, the Tennis Matcher is designed to help you find value in tennis betting offers.

While there aren’t as many offers for tennis as there are for racing or football, this tool can still be useful during major tournaments like the US Open.

 

Premium Membership versus All Access Membership

For just £29.99 per month, the Premium Membership gives you access to all these features for bookmaker offers, which is a very good deal considering the potential profits.

The All-Access membership, at £49.99 per month, includes everything that comes with Premium Membership but also includes casino offers as well as those from bookmakers.  

The Free Trial, on the other hand, is more of a taster, offering limited access to a few offers and guides.

Overall Verdict

OddsMonkey is a top-notch resource for matched bettors, offering a wide array of tools and guides to help you maximize your profits.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive matched betting service, it’s hard to go wrong with OddsMonkey. 

That said, if you’re already using a similar service like Outplayed, there’s no need to switch since they offer similar features.

Also, if you’re outside the UK and Ireland, OddsMonkey might not be as valuable due to the limited availability of free bets and bonuses.

Overall, OddsMonkey is an excellent choice, and we’re happy to give it a full 5 out of 5 stars.

So, why not give it a try? After all, they offer a free trial, so you’ve got nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain!

Rating: 5 out of 5

OddsMonkey offers various tools like the Odds Matcher, Betting Calculator, Racing Matcher, Each Way Matcher, Acca Matcher, Dutching Tool, and Tennis Matcher.

These tools simplify the process of finding and placing value bets, ensuring you can lock in profits from bookmaker offers.

3. How much can I earn with OddsMonkey?

The amount you can earn depends on the time you invest. During our month-long trial, we made just over £1,000.

However, results can vary based on the number of offers available and how actively you participate.

4. How much does OddsMonkey cost?

OddsMonkey offers a Premium Membership for £29.99 per month which includes bookie offers and a All-Access Membership for £49.99 per month which includes bookie+casino offers.

5. Is there a free trial available?

Yes, Odds Monkey offers a free trial so you can explore the platform and its features before committing to a paid subscription.

6. What types of offers are included in OddsMonkey?

Odds Monkey provides lists of free bet offers for both new and existing bookmaker accounts.

These include “bet x get x” offers, risk-free bets, rollover bonuses, and more.

Additionally, it covers casino, games, and bingo offers.

7. How does the Odds Matcher tool work?

It helps you find the best matched betting opportunities, where the odds are close enough to guarantee a profit from free bets and bonuses.

8. What is the Racing Matcher?

The Racing Matcher is a tool that identifies the best odds matches for upcoming horse races.

It highlights available offers and helps you place matched bets to take full advantage of these promotions.

9. Can I use OddsMonkey outside the UK and Ireland?

While you can use some features of Odds Monkey from outside the UK and Ireland, the availability of free bets and bonuses can be limited in other regions.

Therefore, the service is most beneficial to users within the UK and Ireland. If you are outside these regions, it is best to check the availability of free bets and bonuses in your region before signing up to a package like OddsMonkey.

10. Is OddsMonkey better than Outplayed?

OddsMonkey and Outplayed offer similar tools and services.

If you’re already a member of Outplayed, there’s no significant benefit to switching to Odds Monkey. Both platforms are highly regarded in the matched betting community.

11. Are there any risks with using OddsMonkey?

Matched betting is generally considered low-risk, but there are some considerations.

For example, if you are doing EV (expected value) betting rather than matched betting, you can still experience losing bets and losing runs. So ensuring you have a sufficient betting bank is important for EV betting.

Equally, using strategies like Dutching or Each Way Matcher excessively can lead to bookmaker account restrictions or closures.

It’s important to use these tools wisely and not draw too much attention to your betting patterns.

12. What is EV (Expected Value) Betting in Matched Betting?

EV (Expected Value) betting in matched betting refers to the process of evaluating the potential profitability of a bet over the long term.

It calculates the average amount you can expect to win or lose if you were to place a similar bet multiple times.

In matched betting, understanding EV helps you assess whether a free bet or promotion is worth pursuing, as it quantifies the likely profit from the offer, guiding your decision-making towards consistently profitable bets.

13. Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes, you can cancel your OddsMonkey subscription at any time. However, it’s recommended to use the free trial first to see if the service meets your needs before committing to a subscription.

Ten Pound Tipster – Full Review

 

The Ten Pound Tipster is a horse racing tipster with the aim to make good profits on UK and Irish racing using just £10 per point stakes.

Ten pounds per month is also the cost of the subscription (at the time of writing). “Winning tips – cheap as chips” as they say. 

The tipster started out as many punters do, following all kinds of tipsters and systems in the hope of finding riches, only to be disappointed after much-hyped services failed to deliver. 

Then they started to develop their own systems, with long periods of proofing and testing. 

Confident in the systems they had developed, they have been running them live for over a year now and we proofed the tips for nine months. 

That gave us a good sample size of just under 500 bets. 

They calculate results at Betfair SP and stake 1 point to win and 1 point to place (where there are 5 or more runners, 1 point win only when 4 runners or less).

It was somewhat of an up-and-down trial to be honest, as they went 50 points up early on, before falling to over 50 points down and then rallying to finish our trial 33 points up. 

So it was solid rather than spectacular, but we always say any profit is not to be sniffed at.

That’s particularly the case when that profit has come at Betfair SP and at a very reasonable subscription cost.

Many tipsters struggle to make a profit at all, let alone at BSP so that is to be commended. 

Overall then we’re happy to award the Ten Pound Tipster a narrow PASSED rating as it has delivered a solid profit over the course of our trial. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out e-mail, usually around 6am UK time on the day of racing. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1-2 bets per day on average the workload is very manageable. 

Availability of prices: As above, the bets are all to be placed at Betfair SP so there is no issue with price availability. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 39% (including placed horses).

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank is advised for the service but we used a 100 point bank for our trial. Given the fluctuations we experienced during our trial as described above however, a 150 point bank may be more appropriate here.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are very reasonable at £10 per month or £69 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

The Ten Pound Tipster is a horse racing tipster who bets at Betfair SP on UK and Irish racing.

They made 33 points profit during our nine month trial, which was solid rather than spectacular, but considering that was at Betfair SP it is not to be sniffed at.   

This could be an option for those who have had their bookie accounts restricted and are looking for a low-cost tipster on the horses.

Ten Pound Tipster – New Review

11th October 2023

We are starting a new trial today of a horse racing service called the Ten Pound Tipster. 

The name comes from the idea that even at just £10 stakes, this tipster has reportedly made very good profits.

It is also the current cost of subscription, which is set at just £10 per month (at the time of writing). “Winning tips – cheap as chips” as they say. 

The tipster started out as many punters do, following all kinds of tipsters and systems in the hope of finding riches, only to be disappointed after much-hyped services failed to deliver. 

Then they started to develop their own systems, with long periods of proofing and testing. 

Confident in the systems they had developed, they have been running them live since January 2022 and have now made a reported 394 points profit at Betfair SP. 

That is quite a total to have amassed and certainly piqued our interest. Any service that can make a profit at BSP is worthy of attention and to have made that much profit in less than two years is quite remarkable. 

Tips are sent out early in the morning and there is always the option to use bookies if you wish, which the tipster says are likely to beat the Betfair SP prices.

On average there are around 2-3 tips per day, with some days having four. All tips are one point each-way bets.  

Without further ado then we will get this review under way of a refreshingly cheaply-priced tipster and keep our fingers crossed they can maintain the strong results reported on their website. 

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

In the meantime you can check out the Ten Pound Tipster for yourself here.

Cleeve Racing – Full Review

 

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

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

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

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

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

Results

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Service Breakdown

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

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

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

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

Cleeve Racing – Re-Review

30th October 2023

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Source – New Review

16th October 2023

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All Weather Place – New Review

28th March 2024

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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