CorrectScores.net Full Review

 

CorrectScores.net is a service that involves laying the current score at half time in selected matches in the hope that there will be more goals and hence the bet will win.

At the start of our trial they advised laying any current score at half time as long as the odds were under 6.0. 

However, during the trial they changed this to only laying if the score is a certain scoreline, normally 1-0 or 1-1. 

That approach means there are less bets but has proved effective for the short time it was in operation.

Overall however, the trial finished with a slightly disappointing 4 points lost.

They also introduced a “lay the 0-2 scoreline” system part way through the trial, but that was also slightly down by the end of our trial.

All in all then we feel like a neutral rating is the fairest judgement here – a small loss was no disaster and there were signs the new approach was proving more effective.

So we will keep an eye on things for a while longer and see if this turns out to be the case.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Generally good, bets are sent out in good time before matches and there are usually just 1-3 matches to bet on any one day. You obviously need to be able to monitor the matches and place your potential lay bet at half time if the criteria are met, so may not suit everyone. 

Availability of prices: There are no prices advised as such, just whatever the price is at half time and presuming it is below 10.0, which it nearly always is. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 82%, which on the face of it is good but with laying systems when you hit a loser it does hit the bank quite hard so you need to be prepared for that. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 50 point bank for the trial, which seemed plenty enough to take account of any losing runs. 

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £30 per month. The good thing is though that if they have a losing month then you get the next month free (or you can get a refund for the month instead). 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Correctscores.net takes an interesting approach to betting on football, by laying the current score at half-time if it meets certain criteria.

Sadly the results haven’t turned out quite as expected over our trial however.

With 4 points lost, it is certainly not the worst trial we have run though and there were signs the new approach to laying only if the score is certain scorelines appears to be improving things.

So we will keep our eye on things for a while longer and see if results can turn around for them.

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

8th August 2016

It has been a tough time for CorrectScores.net, who have dropped 12 points since our last update to be 14 points down for the trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

The methodology for the selections was changed recently. Instead of laying any HT score (apart from 0-0) as we have been doing up until now, they now only say to lay the score at HT if the score is one of certain scorelines (e.g. 1-0, 1-1 etc).

And the maximum lay odds have changed from 6.0 to 10.0

So perhaps this change of approach will lead to an improvement in results – and with the main football season just a week away, there will be more action to choose from. 

Back soon with more updates.

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

11th July 2016

There has been a slight improvement for CorrectScores.net since our last update a month ago.

They have picked up 4 points of profit to sit at -2.5 points so far for the trial. 

You can view full results here.

To be honest though, things have been very quiet for them, with only nine bets over the last month.

It is probably a better idea to monitor this service when the main footy season is in progress rather than during the Summer months when there are very few bets.

It’s not long to go now – just one month until the Premier League kicks off again – so we will continue following them into the new season.

The other thing to mention is that they recently started up a second service involving laying the 0-2 scoreline (i.e. laying the underdog to win 2-0).

Unfortunately that second service has not started well and is 15 points down so far after three weeks.

Still, it is very early days so plenty of time to turn things around.

Back soon with more updates.

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

14th June 2016

It’s been a slow start to our trial of CorrectScores.net, a service that provides matches to lay the current score at half time in.

So far they are 6 points down after three weeks.

You can view full results here.

To be fair, things have been quiet with the end of the football season and there haven’t been very many selections so far.

Interestingly they have recently added a second service to their repertoire, which involves laying the 2-0 in selected matches.

It has apparently made 165 points profit in 4 months, with a strike rate of close to 99%.

The average lay odds for the 2-0 are 30 though, so this is not for the feint-hearted.

We will monitor how the 2-0 service gets on now and see if they can match the impressive pre-trial results.

Back soon with more updates.

CorrectScores.net – New Review

21st May 2016

Alas the main footy season is over – excluding the Champions League final of course.

So you may be feeling withdrawal symptoms already, wondering where you can get your fix of betting on the beautiful game whilst Europe’s big leagues take a break.

Fear not though, just because we are into the Summer, it doesn’t mean football betting has to stop. 

Not by a long shot.

The Euros are just around the corner and there are a good number of leagues that play during the Summer including in Scandanavia, Russia, South America and Ireland amongst others.

So strap yourselves in for a new football betting system to keep us footy addicts going over the Summer.

The system is question is called CorrectScores.Net and it follows a very simple strategy.

Basically you get a list of games to potentially bet on in the morning.

Then you lay the current scoreline at half time. as long as two criteria are met:

  • The score is not 0-0 at half time; and
  • You can get odds of less than 6.0. 

So a pretty simple setup, there should be no problems following this one. 

The published results on the website look very good, albeit over a fairly short period, with 42 points profit made to 1 point level stakes since the service started in February this year.

The system has supposedly been developed over 3 years, so plenty of work has gone into it by the sounds of things.

And to top it off, there is a profit guarantee of 5 points profit per month, so if you don’t make that much profit they will refund your subscription fees.

That shows great confidence in their service and must mean they believe at least 5 points profit will be made per month on a consistent basis.

We ran a trial of similar system a while ago called Half Time Hero that sadly didn’t pan out, but let’s hope for better things from CorrectScores.net

We will return soon with our first update on how things are coming along for this one.

In the meantime, you can check out CorrectScores.net here.

Alex Hammond Tips – Full Review

 

Alex Hammond is the resident tipster on Sky Sports News and she provides one tip per day for the punting public.

At the start of the trial, we were curious to see whether her tips were any good and would deliver any profit.

Well at the end of three months we are pleased to say that Alex has managed to rack up an impressive 38 points of profit to 1 point level stakes.

Here are the results for the trial in graph format:

Alex Hammond Tips Profit Graph

As you can see, pretty steady profit growth throughout the trial.

And that was with a strike rate of 32% and using a 50 point bank, meant a 76% growth in the bank over the three months.

And best of all, the tips are completely FREE! 

You just need to check the Sky Sports site each day for the tips.

So with some stellar results and being super-easy to follow, we are happy to give Alex Hammond’s tips a recommended rating.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: As stated above, very simple to follow with just one tip per day. 

Availability of prices: The advised prices were under no great pressure and this is certainly no Tom Segal or Hugh Taylor situation. Indeed, at Betfair SP we actually slightly beat the advised prices, with 41 points profit being recorded.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 32%, which is pretty decent and means losing streaks were kept to a minimum.   

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 50 point bank for the trial, which seemed plenty enough to take account of any losing runs. 

Subscription costs: The best thing about the service – FREE! 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

It is not often we have a positive trial of one of the popular tipsters in the press or on TV, so we are pleased to say that Alex Hammond has passed with flying colours.

Managing to amass 41 points profit at Betfair SP is no mean feat and with a return on investment of 44%, it was a strong trial for Ms Hammond.

With just one tip per day it is a very easy service to follow and with it being free, you really can’t complain.

Let’s hope Alex can continue this kind of form in the long run, but for now we are content to give her tips a recommended rating.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

3rd August 2016

Alex Hammond has continued her excellent form, adding another 21 points profit at advised prices and 15 points of profit at Betfair SP since our last update.

That means she is now 35 points up for the trial as a whole at advised prices and 36 points up at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Alex had a very good Goodwood festival, netting winners five days in a row to land over 13 points of profit. Pretty awesome stuff!

So just a few weeks to go in our trial and nice to see some really decent results from a free tipster.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

9th July 2016

There has been good progress by Alex Hammond since our last update, adding a further 9 points profit at advised prices and 13 points at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

That means she is now 14 points up at advised prices and 21 points up at Betfair SP.

Alex had an excellent Royal Ascot, bagging winners in the form of Ribchester at 8/1 and Even Song at 11/4.

It is good to see the Betfair SP beating the advised prices, which you rarely see from tipsters.

We are just over halfway through the trial now, so let’s hope for more of the same from Ms Hammond in the second half of the trial.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

12th June 2016

It’s been a good start to our trial of Alex Hammond Tips, with the resident Sky Sports News tipster sitting 5 points in profit at early prices and 8 points in profit at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

The tips are available for free on the Sky Sports site here and of course Alex features on Sky Sports News as well.

It is tough to make a profit when you are obliged to provide just one tip per day, every day, but we have been impressed with the start made by Alex Hammond and hopefully it will continue in the same vein.

Back soon with more updates.

Alex Hammond Tips – New Review

20th May 2016

If you have watched Sky Sports News over the years, you will no doubt have seen the lovely Alex Hammond providing expert analysis and tips for the day’s horse racing.

As I was sitting watching the other day, I wondered how successful Alex was with her tipping.

Certainly she seems to have a very thorough knowledge of the sport and is clearly not just there to brighten up our screens.

However, can her horse racing knowledge translate into success in the tipping game?

Well we thought it was time to find out by running a trial of Alex Hammond’s tips here at Honest Betting Reviews.

So we will record her tips each day and see how she performs under the spotlight of a live trial.

Alex’s involvement with horses began at an early age, competing in showjumping events as a junior. She worked in the Shadwell stud of Sheikh Hamden, before moving to the yard of trainers Jack and Lynda Ramsden. 

She also has some experience as a jockey, having ridden in over 50 amateur flat races and was placed in a race at Royal Ascot.

And of course she has been married to jockey Richard Quinn since 2007.

So all in all Alex seems to have excellent “pedigree” as they say and should have good prospects of making a profit in the tipping game.

However, we have seen lots of examples over the years of horse racing experts who sadly haven’t been able to find a winning edge when it came to providing tips.

Let’s hope Alex Hammond is an exception and can put all her horse racing expertise to good use by finding us some winners over the trial.

We will provide regular updates on how things go during the trial.

In the meantime you can check out Alex Hammond’s tips here.

Cost:   £60/month, £150/quarter or £250/6 months

Classic Racing Gold – Full Review

 

It’s been a spectacular trial for Classic Racing Gold, who have delivered some superb profits for us over the last three months.

Specialising in Irish Racing, they provide 1-2 tips per day, that are normally sent out the evening before racing or early in the morning.

The results coming into our trial were very impressive and so we had high expectations at the outset of our testing period.

And boy they did not disappoint!

Just under 100 points profit at advised prices, at an exceptional return on investment of 37% are some of the best results we have ever seen from a horse racing tipster.

And with a strike rate of 59%, the rate of winners was very high and the drawdowns have been minimal to non-existent.

As you can see from the profit graph below, it was very smooth and steady progress during our trial:

Classic Racing Gold Profit Graph

With the tips being virtually all in Irish racing, the liquidity isn’t quite as strong as in UK racing and prices do get hit quite significantly, so if you still have access to bookie accounts then you want to get your bets on as soon as possible after you receive the tips.

However, even if you’ve lost all your bookie accounts, then you can still use Betfair, as the results at Betfair SP were good too, with 48 points profit made over the trial – so exactly half of the profits achieved at advised prices.

All in all then Classic Racing Gold is undoubtedly one of the best services we have come across in the dozens of systems we have tested here at Honest Betting Reviews.

So it’s no surprise to say this receives a passed rating – with bells on!

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Good customer service, with warnings about when tips will be sent out and consistent timings – normally in the evening around 8 or 9pm or in the morning around 7am or 8am. 

Availability of prices: As mentioned above, the prices do get squeezed in quite significantly between when they are sent out and the off, so you want to get your bets on asap or you will risk losing some of the value. However, a good profit was still made at Betfair SP, testifying to the edge over the market they have.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 59%, which is exceptionally high for a horse racing service and means lots of winners and minimal losing streaks. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial, which was always comfortable and we think should be sufficient with such a high strike rate.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are good value for a service of this quality at £60 per month, £150 per quarter or £250 for 6 months. Certainly we have seen services charge much more than this without having results of this quality. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

It has been a magnificent trial for Classic Racing Gold, who have amassed just shy of 100 points profit at advised prices during our three month trial.

That comes on the back of 350 points profit made prior to our trial.

Amazingly the return on investment of 37% during our trial matched very closely their long term level of 34%, which means our results are very similar to what they have achieved over the last year.

With a strike rate of 59% meaning a high number of winners and minimal losing streaks, this ticks just about all the boxes in terms of a top tipster.

Results at Betfair SP were quite a bit lower, but were still close to 50 points profit at a return on investment of 18%, which is mighty impressive in itself.

This goes right in at the top with the very best tipsters we have ever come across and needless to say gets a recommended rating.

Get yourself signed up as soon as possible just in case they decide to close the doors anytime soon!

Classic Racing Gold – Final Review

15th July 2016

The superb form continues for Classic Racing Gold, who are looking mightily impressive so far.

They have added a further 38 points of profit at advised prices since our last update a month ago.

That means they are now 63 points in profit for the trial so far.

You can view full results here.

There have been some fantastic runs for them lately, including nine winners (and a place) out of ten bets and they have just come off 4 winners and 2 places out of their last six bets.

The Betfair SP results have been a little lower – although still impressive – having made 26 points profit so far.

So you do need to get your bets on quickly after tips are sent out. The nice thing is that they don’t just quote the best price available but one that is available with more than bookies, so you have a good chance of matching their results. 

Anyway, fantastic results so far and we may have found something special here in the form of Classic Racing Gold.

Back soon with more updates.

Classic Racing Gold – Results Update

16th June 2016

There has been excellent progress from Classic Racing Gold since our last update three weeks ago. 

They have added 26 points of profit in that time to stand at 25 points up for the trial so far to advised prices and 6 points up at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Results were helped with a very nice winner at Royal Ascot on Tuesday in the shape of Jennies Jewel, who won at 10/1 for them in the Ascot Stakes.

As we said in our last update, there is a lot to like about this service. Warning is given when bets will be sent and they don’t always just record the best available price, but what is generally available amongst the bookies.

So if you take into account the 350 points profit made prior to our trial starting, this is looking awfully good so far.

Back soon more updates.

 

 

 

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

Classic Racing Gold – Results Update

26th May 2016

It’s been a quiet start so far to our trial of Classic Racing Gold. After two weeks they are 1 point down at advised prices and 5 points down at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

It’s very early days as we are only two weeks into the trial, so far too early obviously to start making any judgements.

However, what we do really like is that in terms of their published results, Classic Racing Gold don’t always record the best available bookie price, but often the next price below that.

Very few tipsters do that and it is great to see. It means on the one hand you are getting a more realistic sense of what the results you might obtain when following the service are, but on the other hand if you are really fast on the buzzer then you could actually beat their published results.

It is also nice to see that they normally give you a heads up as to when bets will be sent out and which bookies you need.

Excellent then so far in terms of customer service and the past results are superb, so all we need is to see that kind of form replicated and we could be in for something special.

Back soon with more updates.

Classic Racing Gold – New Review

10th May 2016

A while ago we reviewed a service called Racing Gold here at Honest Betting Reviews and gave it a firm thumbs up after it amassed 158 points profit during our trial.

Well today we have a similar-sounding service called Classic Racing Gold – which shouldn’t be confused with the other Racing Gold mentioned above.

The two services are in fact completely separate and have nothing to do with one another.

However, the one thing they do have in common is outstanding results!

Classic Racing Gold has been around since August 2015 and to date has made a superb 350 points profit at a return on investment of 33%.

Eight out of the nine completed months so far have been profitable and to be fair the losing month only lost 5 points, where as some of the winning months have been over 70 points in profit.

The service specialises in Irish racing, which is a first for us here at Honest Betting Reviews as all the other tipsters we have reviewed have specialised in British racing.

So it will be interesting to see how prices hold up for Irish racing and if there are any significant differences to betting on British racing.

There looks like just 1-2 bets per day, so the workload should be fairly low with this service.

We will run our normal three month trial for Classic Racing Gold and will report back on how things are going shortly.

In the meantime you can check out Classic Racing Gold here.

 

 

Back and Win – Final Review

Strike Rate:    87%
Bank Growth:    58%
Cost:   £49 + VAT/month for one service or £69 + VAT/month for both

Back and Win – Full Review

 

We were quite skeptical at the outset of our trial of Back and Win, primarily because it is a “stop at a winner” system, which we would normally dismiss out of hand.

Added to that, in the information given after you sign up, they talk about not being interested in value but instead finding winners, which is against conventional wisdom in betting.

However, we always let results speak for themselves and give every system a chance to prove itself.

And we are pleased to say Back and Win has overcome our initial skepticism and achieved success during our trial.   

The two systems delivered 87 points overall over the course of the trial, which is most commendable.

The bank grew nicely over the course of the three months we used the systems and was never in danger of being lost. 

Our only real criticism of the service is the lack of clear instruction on how to utilise it.

This is a fairly major omission, as it would really not be hard to provide some instructions and would save users a lot of time figuring out how to operate the stop at a winner systems – but we will delve into that further below.

Overall, despite this one criticism, we do think Back and Win has delivered some impressive results during our trial and are happy to give it a recommended rating.

 

How it Works

When you join Back and Win, you can choose from three options:

  1. Get the Sure Certs Selections, which are 3 bets per day at £49 + VAT per month
  2. Get the Fire and Forget Selections, which are 6 bets per day at £49 + VAT per month
  3. Get both sets of selections for £69 + VAT per month

Then you need to login to the site each day to get the selections.

The selections – unusually – aren’t for a particular horse but for a given race and you just back the favourite in that race regardless of who it is and what the price is. 

 

Instructions – or lack thereof – on how to operate

Now when you join up and log in to Back and Win, there is some guidance on how to use the selections.

However, these are quite vague and do not contain any details of how to follow them on a “Stop at a Winner” basis.  

Given that the results on the website are presented on a stop at a winner basis and in the guidance it says “The best staking plan we have found to use since using these selections is the ‘Stop At A Winner’ staking plan,” you would expect there to be some instructions.

We can’t imagine anyone is going to sit at their laptop each day recalculating the stake for each selection, which is going to be very difficult when you don’t know until the off exactly what the SP will be, or in some tight races even who the favourite will be.

What was more frustrating for us was that when we e-mailed them asking for instructions on how to follow the selections on a stop at a winner basis, they had no explanation!

This is amazing as we would have thought they would be following the selections themselves or at least investigated for their members how to do this.

But alas not, so we were left to figure it out for ourselves.

Thankfully the good folk (i.e. Alistair) at the Bet Engine were more helpful and gave us pointers on to how to set up the bot.

So you can set things up to be automated and you just need to enter the relevant races each day and the bot will do the rest and place the bets for you on Betfair.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

We are pleased that our initial skepticism with Back and Win seems to have been misplaced and that they have generated decent returns during our trial.

A profit of 87 points across the two systems is very good going and our bank was never in jeopardy during the trial.

However, the lack of instructions on how to set up the stop at a winner system from them is poor frankly and leads us to downgrade this by at least half a star.

And a warning that if you want to automate this – which we would very much recommend – then you will need a subscription to a bot on top of the subscription to the service.

We use the Bet Engine, which currently costs from £12.50 per month after a free 7 day trial.

All in all we are happy to give Back and Win a recommended verdict but do think some improvements need to be made in terms of customer service.

Back and Win – Results Update

10th July 2016

It has been a good time for Back and Win, who have added a further 33 points profit since our last update to sit at 63 points profit overall for the trial.

You can view full results here.

That breaks down as 23 points profit for the Sure Certs and 40 points profit for the Fire and Forget Selections.

Just to recap, Back and Win is a “stop at a winner” system with two sets of selections (as above) with the former having 3 potential selections per day and the latter 6.

You always bet on the favourite and keep increasing your stakes until you hit a winner.

So far, the worst loss we have had for is -15 points when all the selections lost for both services on the same day (16th May).

Just a short note as well that we missed the selections on 2nd July, when apparently the F&F Selections won but the SC selections lost.

Back soon with our final review of Back and Win.

Back and Win – Results Update

13th June 2016

It’s been an up and down time for Back and Win since our last update just over a month ago. 

Our results have them on 30 points in profit overall, a six point improvement over last time.

You can view full results here.

However, unfortunately our reviewer was travelling on 23rd May (well, it was fortunate for him!) and missed the selections that day. Those selections both lost, with the Sure Certs losing  2 points and the Fire and Forget Selections 15 points we understand.

So in fact, the results should actually be 13 points in profit overall from using both services. Not bad by any means, but not as good as our results spreadsheet shows.

Anyway, back soon with more updates.

 

 

 

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

Back and Win – Results Update

9th May 2016

After getting a series of e-mails about a betting system called Back and Win, we decided to test it out.

The e-mails claimed some fairly incredible results, with a 99% strike rate for one of the systems and 100% for the other!

So how has it performed in testing?

Well so far the results have stacked up against the claims made in their e-mails.

We have had 12 betting days so far with both systems – the “Sure Certs” and “Fire and Forget” systems – and both have won each day, so 12 points profit has been accumulated for each system.

So that’s 24 points profit in total so far. 

You can view full results here.

But – and you may have sensed there was a “but” coming – these are essentially “stop at a winner” systems whereby you are increasing your stake until you hit a winner.

You are always backing favourites, so to recover your stakes on previous selections and still win 1 point, by the end of the day you can be backing 50 or 60 points on the final selection if you haven’t had a winner yet.

So let’s say you are making 25 points profit per month. Just one bad day could wipe out two months’ work.

That is the risk you are taking, on the Fire & Forget Selections at least, where there are 6 selections per day.

The risk isn’t as high on the Sure Certs Selections, where you are backing just three selections per day.

The test of the systems will be to see how long they can go before hitting a losing day and then the question will be seeing how we can deal with losing a big chunk of the bank in one go.

We also found the instructions for the systems a little confusing.

In the information provided when you log in, there is a table provided with a £2 – £4 – £10 – £20 staking plan. 

However, this would not allow you to match their results of 1 point profit each day. 

Below the table it says:

“The best staking plan we have found to use since using these selections is the ‘Stop At A Winner’ staking plan, whereby you take into consideration any losses from previous selections, with you then staking sufficient money on the next selection, this allowing you to recover your previous losses, and at the same time win your intended daily profit.”

Upon e-mailing them, they supplied a stop-at-a-winner calculator and said I could use a bot to follow the selections, but did not provide instructions for how to set up the bot to follow their systems.

It would be much more helpful if the stop-at-a-winner calculator and bot instructions were provided when signing up, either by e-mail or through the website login.

Anyway, that is just our opinion. So far we would say that the systems are performing well but come with a significant health warning.

We will of course keep monitoring results for three months and will be back with another update soon.

In the meantime, you can check out Back and Win here.

Back and Win – New Review

We have been getting lots of e-mails about a service called Back and Win, which claims some pretty astonishing results.

It has two categories of selections: The “Fire and Forget” selections which they claim have a 100% strike rate and the “Sure Certs” selections which they say have a 99% strike rate.

Going back to August 2015, the former have supposedly amassed 186 points profit, while the latter have made 175 points profit. 

Having had a look at the results published on the website, this appears to be a “stop at a winner” system that requires you to back a number of horses until you hit a winner and then to stop.

We are not sure what kind of staking system is used but imagine it must be some kind of ratcheting system.

Such things are normally dangerous and not for the risk-averse, but given the results we think this one is at least worth checking out and seeing if it lives up to the rather spectacular billing.

So we will get a trial underway and will report back soon with our findings.

In the meantime you can check out Back and Win here.

Consistent Forex Trades – Full Review

 

We recently decided to expand our range here at Honest Betting Reviews and start looking at some forex and stockmarket systems in an attempt to find some money-making strategies.

So we started a trial of Consistent Forex Trades back in March and have just come to the end of our three month trial.

What are our findings then? Have we uncovered a forex trading gem?

Well sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case.

After three months we have finished 286 pips down, which when you add in the subscriptions costs of £100 + tax per month (following the first month at £1) then it has been quite an expensive trial.

What’s more, we have received no signals since 17th June, so well over two weeks which is a little strange and frustrating when you are paying over £100 per month to receive them.

We should stress that we were just trading the weekly “set and forget” signals and not the intraday signals. 

So all in all we have to give this a FAILED rating and to move on elsewhere.

Consistent Forex Trades Profit Graph

As you can see from the graph above, things were badly in the minus for most of the trial before making a recovery at the end.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The service is fairly straightforward to use, with signals sent out on a Sunday and then you can just set up the trades and forget about them. Simples!

Availability of prices: The recommended prices were generally always available or a tick or two either way.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 38%, which is well below the advertised 75% success rate.

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 1500 pip bank for the trial which seemed sufficient at the outset but did get threatened when we were 1200 pips down at one stage.  

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are quite high at £1 for the first month then £99.99 per month.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

We had fairly high hopes coming into our trial of Consistent Forex Trades. 

They had been averaging over 400 pips per month prior to our trial, which is pretty impressive stuff.

But sadly as we see so many times, that kind of performance wasn’t achieved during our live trial and in fact a loss of 286 pips was recorded.

Whilst that was not a huge loss in itself, when coupled with the high subscription costs of £100 + taxes per month, we felt this wasn’t a service we could continue following.

So it is unfortunately a FAILED rating for Consistent Forex Trades and on to the next system…

Consistent Forex Trades – Results Update

22nd May 2016

Things have continued to be a bit of a struggle for Consistent Forex Trades, who have lost a further 106 pips since our last update to sit at 479 pips down for the trial as a whole.

You can view full results here.

These results are for the set and forget trades, which are sent out on Sunday and then you can just put the orders in on your account and sit back and see what happens.

Sadly so far things during our trial haven’t matched the results coming into it, so hopefully things will pick over the remainder of the trial.

Back soon with further updates.

Consistent Forex Trades – Results Update

26th April 2016

It’s been a tough start to our trial of Consistent Forex Trades, a forex signals service from a guy called Roger Elliot.

The service has two different types of signal – intraday signals that are designed to be primarily traded each day, and the weekly “set and forget” signals that are sent out on Sunday and set up for the week, then you can just forget about them. 

We have just been following the “set and forget” signals for reasons of time constraints and these are 373 pips down so far after just under one month.

You can view full results here.

We understand the intraday signals are 328 pips down, so it has been a disappointing start for Consistent Forex Trades overall.

However, it is still early days and plenty of time to turn things around, so let’s hope for an improvement from the service soon.

Consistent Forex Trades – New Review

28th March 2016

Today we are starting a new trial of a forex signals service called Consistent Forex Trades.

What I initially liked about this service was the lack of over-hyped sales nonsense that you see with so many forex and trading services.

It just explains straight up what the service is and what it is not.

So no scammy and annoying videos and attempted up-selling, just an explanation that you are provided with weekly forex and equity price reaction trading levels and signals.

The service is run by a guy called Roger Elliot and there are basically three parts to it:

  1. The Pullback – this is where Roger expects a price to pull back to a certain level, then move off in the original direction it was going in before the pullback. You need to wait for the price to reach the pullback level before executing the trade.
  2. The Direction – this is when Roger sees the price moving in one predominant direction for the week and trades are normally on a 1:1 ratio in terms of risk to reward.
  3. Set and Forget – Roger will provide selections on a Sunday and you just input the orders and forget about them – until they have either won or lost. Simples!

So plenty of options there for you to play around with depending on your preferences for trading.

We will focus on the set and forget signals as those will be the most straightforward to monitor and where there should be no ambiguity in terms of the results.

Consistent Forex Trades

With the other ones, there will be a degree of personal judgement as to where to enter and exit trades so two people could get quite different results. 

You can get a 4 week trial for just £1, which is a very good way to see which of the methods is best for you.

Apparently the signals have a 75% success record, which is very impressive.

In the 10 months it has been running, the service claims to have made just under 4,000 pips profit, which is just under 400 pips per month. Not bad at all, even if you are just trading at £1 per pip.

So hopefully the trades will continue to achieve consistency and deliver decent profits over the trial.

Back soon with our first update on how things are progressing.

In the meantime, you can check out Consistent Forex Trades here.

Ultimate Horse Power – Final Review

Oh dear.

What can we say really?

Sometimes everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.

This has been the case for Ultimate Horse Power sadly, who on 26th May reached the disappointing point of having blown the whole advised 100 point bank.

You can view full results here.

Any service that reaches that point has to be an automatic fail really. 

You can debate whether the advised bank should have been bigger, and with a strike rate of 17%, there is an argument that it should have been quite a bit more substantial.

However, we can only go with is advised at the outset of our trial and on that basis the whole bank was lost.

Sometimes that just happens in betting, occasionally any service can hit a horror run.

But in the sink-or-swim world of tipping, anything that doesn’t excel sadly falls by the wayside and so with 100 points lost in a month, Ultimate Horse Power is one such service.

OVERALL RATING: FAILED

Ultimate Horse Power – Results Update

13th May 2016

It seems like the reviewer’s curse has struck again.

So often it seems like a tipster or betting system has a brilliant record and promises great levels of return.

But then for some reason, as soon as you start a review of said product, things go pear-shaped.

This has been the case so far with Ultimate Horse Power, which had made a superb 230 points profit coming into our trial, with an average monthly profit of 59 points.

However, unfortunately after three weeks of the trial we are 44 points down.

You can view full results here.

All bets are placed at Betfair SP and a bot can be used for placing the bets, as there are a large number of bets each day. 

It is early days of course, so plenty of time to turn things around and get back to winning ways for Ultimate Horse Power.

Back soon with more updates.

Ultimate Horse Power – New Review

25th April 2016

There are generally two approaches to betting on the horses.

One is to take a very selective approach, scanning the races very carefully and only choosing those one or two bets each day that really stand out.

Then there is the other approach that focuses on high volume betting, backing 10-20 horses per day and looking to take advantage of a small edge over the market that repeated many times, will add up to big profits over time.

There is no “wrong” or “right” approach as such – both can work well.

However, the latter can certainly build a bank more quickly and tends to lead to higher profit levels at the end of an extended period of say a year.

And it is into this latter category that our latest trialist falls.

Ultimate Horse Power is a relatively new service to the reputable Pro Betting Club stable and has amassed an impressive record so far.

After 4 months, the service is over 230 points in profit.

That works out at 59 points profit per month, a very decent average.

And April is going well so far too, with over 30 points profit accumulated to date in the month.

The good thing is that the results are recorded at Betfair SP, which is reassuring and means you know you can match their results.

As we say, there are a large number of bets each day – often between 20 and 30 – so if you were doing things manually then it could take a bit of time to place the bets.

However, if time is an issue then you can use a bot to place the bets for you. Full instructions of how to set up the Bet Engine bot to place bets for you are given on the Pro Betting Club website.

A 100 point bank is advised for the service, so hopefully that will be enough to cover losing runs and give us steady returns.

Anyway, without further ado, we are pleased to get our trial of Ultimate Horse Power underway and we will return soon with our first update.

In the meantime, you can check out Ultimate Horse Power here.

The Aussie Method – Avoid this Scam

We recently did a review of the Brit Method, a system that promises to make you hundreds of thousands of pounds per month at no cost.

We revealed that system was a scam and warned you to stay away from it.

So the other day when we received an e-mail about something called the Aussie Method, we were keen to check out what it was all about.

Sadly our suspicious that this is a close relation to the Brit Method were confirmed and we would make the same comments as we did about that system – stay away from the Aussie Method, it reeks of a scam.

Here we go through things and look at the rather glaring warning signs.

 

Hmm, haven’t I seen this before somewhere?

The e-mail itself leaves quite a lot to be desired. 

Instead of addressing it to me or a generic “Dear Investor,” it starts “Hi {first name}.” Not a great start.

Then I am told that a guy called Louis apparently made $764,050 from the system.

So let’s say you suspended your disbelief and clicked through to the Aussie Method in search of untold riches. What would you find? 

Well the first thing you notice when you click on the Aussie Method website is it looks exactly like the Brit Method. Same layout, same colour scheme – and even the same bloke in the top right hand corner.

Except this time he isn’t called Jason Taylor – he’s called Jake Pertu!

Maybe that’s meant to be more of an Aussie-sounding name than Jason Taylor, I don’t know.

And these aren’t the only two versions of this system – before that there was the Canuck Method, with the same guy again but that time he was called Jake Mason.

For some reason they seem to like the guy’s name to start with a J…

Anyway, the picture of the guy is actually just a stock image that you can purchase from a picture site and it features across the internet on everything from “Kelly Clarkson’s unborn child” to “Top 10 grocery shopping mistakes,” and the “Lucky Rich Kid Method,”   plus a bunch of other sites that have nothing to do with the Aussie Method.

 

Implausible Sales Claims

Sometimes we see horse racing or football betting systems that claim to make thousands of pounds per month and it immediately sets alarm bells ringing if the results seem too good to be true.

So when you receive an e-mail that claims to make you “20 years wages in 29 days,” you would be foolish not to be very suspicious.

Then when you click through to the Aussie Method, you are greeted with video messages (which you can’t pause or stop – argh!) from people claiming to have made $500,000 in a month from using the system.

Now if you haven’t already dismissed it as a scam before now, you certainly should be upon seeing these ridiculous claims.

Firstly, the videos are from paid actors from the contracting website Fiverr.com.

Secondly, if these people were really making half a million dollars per month, why on earth are they making videos in cheap-looking sets instead of partying on their yachts in the Caribbean?

In fact, maybe it would be a bit more believable if they did have videos of people in yachts or driving their new Ferraris rather than sitting in rather basic accommodation.

And then let’s just think – half a million dollars per month, that would be 6 million dollars per year.

Do you think if people were really making six million dollars per year through an internet system, it might have been on the news or lots of people would be talking about it?

The simple lesson is that if something seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is. With this one, you don’t need to be a genius to see this is too outlandishly good to be true.

 

Fake Testimonials

An obvious way to try and make yourself look legit is to have lots of success stories and testimonials from people apparently testifying to the quality of your system.

However, it doesn’t take a great deal of interrogating to see that these testimonials are not genuine.

Firstly, we have the success stories.

These are pretty lame, let’s face it. Just some pictures of text messages on an iphone. Anyone could set up some text messages saying a system is good – not the toughest thing in the world.

The same thing with the Twitter and Facebook posts below. What’s interesting is that the posts are all weirdly one minute apart – could that just be a coincidence?

But then we have the “Live Third Party Verified Results.”

Now these results, if they were real, could actually be meaningful.

However, we are not told what the “Third Party” site is – nor can you click through to it!

So how are we to know if these are results are real or verify them for ourselves? Well sadly we can’t, which rather defeats the purpose of having so-called “verified” results.

 

How it Claims to make you Money

In the same way as the Brit Method, the Aussie Method promises to make you money through Binary Options trading. 

The system is supposedly fully automated software for trading such options, so you just have to switch it on and “hey presto” you will be making $800 – $1,000 daily.

It doesn’t explain how exactly the software works and how they came up with a system that makes this much money, but hey, who are we to question?

Although it says the system doesn’t cost anything, in order to use it you will need to deposit money into accounts with Binary Options brokers and then trade with that money.

The people who make the Aussie Method will then cream off commissions from the money you have deposited to these brokers – and you will then be inundated with phone calls from the brokers encouraging you to trade more. That is perhaps more annoying than the system itself.

Anyway, you are highly unlikely to make $800 – $1,000 daily from this. In fact you will probably lose money and possibly quite a lot.

There are quite a few scams involving binary options trading at the moment. It seems that this little-understood form of trading is ripe for wheeling people in to scams and the like.

Our final advice is to keep your money in your wallet and avoid this like the plague. 

We just wait to see what the next version will be – the Kiwi Method? The French Method? The Turkish method?

Who knows…but perhaps they will have another actor with a name beginning with J.

Profit/loss:    -8 points

Cost:   €4.95 for 1st month then €24.95/month or €49.95/quarter

Tennis Bett Full Review

 

It has been a difficult job finding a winning tennis tipster, despite tennis being supposedly one of the most punter-friendly sports to bet on.

So we were interested to come across Tennis Bett, a service that had a good record coming into our trial of having doubled a 50 point bank over the year before our trial started.

Unfortunately things didn’t quite take off during our trial, with a loss of 8 points being recorded over the three months. That represented a small loss of 16% of the bank. 

However, we were impressed with the professional way the service was run and our results matched those on the Tennis Bett website, so we can reasonably presume the previous results are accurate too.

Here is the profit graph for the trial:

Tennis Bett Profit Graph

Things were going reasonably well but unfortunately just trailed off towards the end to finish in a loss overall.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: With tips sent by e-mail and normally provided early in the morning, there is plenty of time to get the bets on. There is an average of just over 1 bet per day, so the workload is minimal.

Availability of prices: There is excellent liquidity in tennis, so by using the exchanges you can normally at least match, if not beat, the advised prices.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 52%, which is solid enough and means losing streaks should be short, with the ability to bet at reasonably high stakes.

Advised Betting Bank: A 50 point betting bank was advised, which seems adequate to cover drawdowns with a strike rate above 50%.

Subscription costs: You can get the first 30 days for just €4.95, then the costs are €24.95/month, €49.95/quarter or €149.95 for a lifetime subscription.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

There aren’t too many tennis tipsters around when you compare them to the number of football and horse racing tipsters.

So it follows that there aren’t too many profitable tennis tipsters either.

We were hopeful we had found one in the shape of Tennis Bett, but unfortunately they didn’t quite achieve a profitable trial here at Honest Betting Reviews.

However, we do see potential with the service and liked the way it was professionally run.

With a loss of 8 points during the trial, it was not the end of the world and is certainly recoverable fairly quickly if things get going for them. 

So we will continue to monitor things and see if Tennis Bett can pick up its form as the tennis season gets going over the Summer.

Things have picked up nicely for Tennis Bett with 4 points of profit added since our last update.

That means they are now 4.61 points up overall for the trial.

This is a nice simple service to follow and Jim who runs it certainly seems to know his stuff. 

Let’s hope things continue in positive fashion for Tennis Bett.

It has been a slightly uneventful start to our trial of leading tennis tipster Tennis Bett.

So far they are exactly +0.49 points in profit after around six weeks of our trial.

You can view full results here.

It is a good time for the tennis season now with some top Masters Series events plus the run up to the French Open with the clay court events, so hopefully we will see things take off shortly.

The service is nice and easy to follow, with bets sent out in the morning normally and analysis accompanying the selections.

Tennis Bett – New Review

11th February 2016

We are pleased to be commencing a new trial of a tennis tipster here at Honest Betting Reviews.

Tennis tipsters are a rare breed – indeed, whilst the internet is swamped by legions of horse racing and football tipsters selling their wares to all and sundry, you have to search quite hard to find any tennis tipsters.

The two tennis specialists we have tried so far – Tennis Trading League and Serve It Up Tennis Tips – unfortunately both failed three month trials. 

The other tennis tipster we have tried, Banker Bets, is actually more of a football tipster with some bets on the tennis during big tournaments etc.

So when we were approached to trial Tennis Bett from a chap calling himself just Jim, we were more than happy to take up the offer.

The results on the website look good, with a 50 point bank having more than doubled to over 100 points using level stakes over the past year.

The long term strike rate is over 70% which is pretty healthy and should mean losing streaks are kept to a minimum.

You can get a one month trial for just €4.95 followed by €24.95 per month, €49.95 per quarter or €149.95 for lifetime.

So we look forward to getting the trial under way and seeing how this one gets on.

It is slightly surprising that there aren’t more tennis tipsters out there, particularly as the bookies’ overround on tennis is low, markets on Betfair are very liquid and I seem to remember reading somewhere that tennis is statistically the best sport to bet on from a punter’s point of view.

Anyway, let’s see if we can land our first winning tennis tipster here with Tennis Bett.

Back soon with our first update on how things are going. 

GG Tips – Final Review

Introduction to GG Racing Tips

GG Tips is one of the popular free horse racing tipster services in the UK, offering daily tips for every race held across the UK and Ireland. For horse racing enthusiasts, finding reliable tips is often key to increasing their chances of making successful bets, and GG Tips seeks to fill that need with a comprehensive range of betting options. Whether you are interested in traditional single bets, multiples like the Lucky 15, or more speculative outsider bets, GG Tips provides a wide array of recommendations designed to cater to different betting styles.

The service has grown in popularity over the years due to its accessibility and the fact that it’s completely free. With horse racing being one of the most followed sports in the UK, many punters turn to GG Tips for advice on races ranging from major events like the Cheltenham Festival to smaller daily meetings. Despite offering tips for every race, which can be challenging to profit from consistently, GG Tips also highlights more selective bets like the “Bet of the Day” and “Outsider,” which focus on the highest confidence selections.

In this review, we aim to explore whether GG Tips is a service worth following. Through our trial, we have closely monitored the results to see if the site lives up to its promises or if it falls short of delivering consistent, profitable tips. Read on as we assess GG Racing Tips and provide insights into the potential betting strategies that could help punters maximise their returns.

Our Trial of GG Racing Tips

After two months we thought it was time to call it a day on our trial of GG Tips.

With a grand total of 336 points lost, there didn’t seem much point continuing to monitor results.

As we suspected at the outset, it is virtually impossible to make a profit from tipping in every race and that has proved to be the case here.

So certainly we couldn’t advise that you back all the bets put up by GG Tips.

 

Potentially Profitable Angles

However, is there any aspect of the service that might have potential of generating profit?

Well, here is a breakdown of the results by the type of bet over our trial:

 

Bet Type Profit/loss
Every race    -251.7 points
Bet of the Day     -0.78 points
Daily Double  -23.1 points
Tasty Treble  -59 points
Lucky 15  +4.11 points
Outsider  -7.5 points

 

So there is potential in the Bet of the Day, Lucky 15 and Outsider bets. All of the results are recorded at SP, so using Betfair SP or early prices, you would certainly be able to beat these results.

Using Betfair SP, you would have made a profit on the Bet of the Day selections, which is good news and confirms our initial thoughts that having a “nap” of the day is much more likely to produce a profit than backing in all races.

The other good thing about GG Tips is that it is free and there is a host of other information on the site, including cards and results, news stories, blogs from tipsters and horse racing experts and alerts where you can get notified if a particular horse is due to run.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

So overall we think a neutral rating is a fair verdict for GG Tips.

It is probably best avoiding the tips in all the individual races, but the Bet of the Day, Lucky 15 and Outsider Bets have shown the potential to be profitable. 

And with the service being free and having a number of other features, GG Tips is overall a decent racing site in our opinion.

GG Tips – Results Update

23rd April 2016

It’s been a sorry story for GG Tips, who have dropped another 175 points since our last update.

That puts them 285 points down for the trial so far. 

You can view full results here.

Our worry expressed at the start of the trial was that it is virtually impossible to make a profit when tipping in every race and that certainly seems to have been borne out here.

We may conclude this trial early as it is so far down there doesn’t seem a great deal of point in continuing it much longer.

 

 

 

 

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

GG Tips – Results Update

30th March 2016

It’s been a rough start to our trial of GG Tips. This is a website that provides tips for every race in the UK and Ireland on a daily basis, plus their best bet of the day and some multiple selections.

After a month of following all their tips, they are -110 points down to advised prices.

You can view full results here.

This seems to be proof if ever it were needed that it is practically impossible to make a profit from tipping on every race. 

However, unfortunately their naps and multiples haven’t done very well either. Although yesterday they were very close to going through the card at Southwell, picking 6 out of 7 winners. 

Anyway, hopefully things will pick up for them over the remainder of the trial. 

 

 

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

GG Tips – New Review

22nd February 2016

Today we are starting a new trial of a free horse racing tipster called GG Tips – or to give them their proper website name, gg.co.uk.

This is a very popular tipping site that offers tips for every race in the UK!

Not bad going, although we usually have reservations about tipsters who do that, as it can often mean you are tipping for the sake of it in races when there isn’t really a good bet.

But fortunately they also have their “best bets” of the day that include a single, double, treble, lucky 15 and an outsider of the day.

So hopefully these more focused bets – their naps if you like – will produce the goods. That’s not to say betting in every race can’t work of course, it’s just that it is hard and we haven’t seen it done successfully before.

It’s always nice to see a tipster that offers their tips for free though, especially as there are some quite expensive ones out there – often who aren’t even very good!

There don’t seem to be any results for their tips published on the site – or at least none that were easy to find – which is usually a small cause for concern, but does not necessarily mean the results aren’t good. We shall find out!

Anyway, this website has a very big following so we doubt people are following them if they aren’t very good. That’s the theory anyhow. 

We will run our normal trial and see how they get on.

Back soon with an update on GG Tips.

 

Cudworth’s Racing Lays – Final Review

We have reached the end of our three month trial of Cudworth’s Racing Lays and here are the final results:

 

Profit/loss:    +22 points
Strike Rate:    83%
Bank Growth:    29%
Cost:    £1 for first 30 days then £29.95/month or £69.95/quarter

Cudworth’s Racing Lays – Full Review

 

The idea of betting on horses to lose has something quite seductive about it.

As any gambler knows, finding winners on a consistent basis is tough. All manner of things can happen in a horse race to derail the chances of a good sort. 

But we’ve all seen horses who we thought “that one can’t possibly win”.

It’s either completely out of form, running in conditions that aren’t suitable or is simply outclassed.

So you would think laying horses would be the ideal way to make some easy cash. 

But sadly it isn’t quite as easy as it seems.

You can have a long run of winning bets and everything seems rosy – but then you hit a loser and it wipes out a substantial portion of your bank.

Over the years we’ve seen quite a few laying systems but sadly none of them have managed to make a consistent profit.

So we were interested to come across Cudworth’s Racing Lays, a laying tipster from the Betting Gods stable who showed quite a bit of potential prior to our trial.

And after completing a three month trial I am pleased to say we were not disappointed.

A profit of 22 points during the trial is decent for lay betting and the strike rate was an impressive 83%.

Here is the profit graph for the trial:

Cudworth's Racing Lays Graph

A big spike early on, but after that it was quite nice and steady bank growth.

The return on investment was also notably high for a laying system at 17%, which is well above what you would expect with a strike rate as high as 83%.

Most of the lays were at tolerable odds as well, with the majority being in the range of 2.0 to 5.0, although there was one loser at 11.33 which hit the bank a bit.

 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: There are just 1-2 tips per day, which makes this is a nice relaxed service to follow. All bets can be placed at Betfair SP which makes things really straightforward. 

Availability of prices: The good thing is that all results are recorded at Betfair SP, so you know you can match their results.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 83%, which is excellent and means you will be winning most of your bets. There has even been a 26-bet winning streak in the past!  

Advised Betting Bank: There is no betting bank advised but we used a 75 point bank for the trial, given most of the lays are up to around a BSP of 6.0. However, be warned that a run of losers could hit the bank quite hard. 

Subscription costs: You can get a 30 day trial for just £1, which is a great way of testing things out. If you want to carry on after that, the costs are £29.95 per month or £69.95 per quarter.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Despite seeming like an easy way to make money, lay betting is actually much harder than most people think and there aren’t too many successful laying tipsters around.

So we are pleased to have completed a successful trial of Cudworth’s Racing Lays, a service that delivered solid profits at a great strike rate of 83% and a very decent ROI of 17%.

It is a straightforward service to follow, with just one or two bets per day and all bets can be placed at Betair SP – so just “set and forget.”

As ever, we will continue to monitor things and update the results periodically.

For the time being though, this one gets a recommended rating and if you like the idea of betting on horses to lose, Cudworth’s Racing Lays looks like one of the best options we have encountered so far.

Cudworth’s Racing Lays – Results Update

12th April 2016

Things have picked up nicely for Cudworth’s Racing Lays since our last update back in February.

They have made 15 points profit since our last update, meaning they are 11 points up overall.

You can view full results here. 

There’s something very appealing about laying horses and having so many winning bets. Profits are of course the most important thing, so we will if things can continue in a positive fashion for Cudworth’s Racing Lays over the remainder of the trial.

Cudworth’s Racing Lays – Results Update

25th February 2016

It has been a bit of a slow start to our trial of Cudworth’s Racing Lays, a horse racing tipster who lays selective bets each day.

So far we are 4 points down, which isn’t too bad by any means but isn’t quite up to the standards set coming into the trial.

You can view full results here. 

Sometimes the losing lays can hit the bank quite hard, as on 6th February when 7.5 points were lost on one lay – ouch.

But then you get nice long winning runs of 6 or 7 in a row, which rebuilds things quickly.

An interesting service so far in any event and one we will be intrigued to see how it gets on over the trial as a whole.

Cudworth’s Racing Lays – New Review

2nd February 2016

Today we are commencing just our second trial of a laying service here at Honest Betting Reviews.

The service in question is Cudworth’s Racing Lays from the Betting Gods stable.

Laying somehow has great appeal to us punters. After previously only ever being able to back horses to win, there is something instinctively appealing about being able to bet on horses to lose.

After all, there must be plenty of stinkers out there, who don’t have the right conditions for them or are just plain rubbish, right?

And the old saying that you never see a poor bookie must be because they are laying the field.

Well sadly laying isn’t quite as easy as it at first seems. When you lay on the exchanges you don’t get the same value as the bookies as they have their treasured overround and you have to pay commission.

Still, with dedicated study (or some inside info) it should still in theory be possible to pick horses to lose and make some tasty profits from lay betting.

So it is with such hopes that we turn to Cudworth’s Racing Lays.

This is a relatively new service, having only been tipping since September 2015 but in that has amassed over 60 points profit, which is no mean feat when laying.

Those results have been achieved with a strike rate over 80%, so we are looking at most bets winning here, which is always a nice feeling.

We are looking forward to the change of approach to laying here and this should prove an interesting trial.

Updates will appear here soon.
