Let’s dive into our updated review of OddsMonkey, a service we first looked at back in March 2016 when it was primarily an odds matching tool.
Fast forward to today, and the platform has evolved into a comprehensive matched betting service with a suite of tools designed to maximize your betting profits.
After spending a month testing all the new features, here’s how it stacks up.
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 Matcherand setting up your matched bets.
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.
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.
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.
OddsMonkeyis 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!

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.
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.
The tough times continue unfortunately for horse racing tipster the Ten Pound Tipster, with a loss of 15 points made to Betfair SP since our last update.
That means they are now 40 points down for our trial overall at BSP.
Just a reminder this is a service that advises all bets to Betfair SP, so there are no separate results at advised prices.
A shame to see the loss of form over the last month as they had been doing well up until then; let’s hope they can turn it round again over the next month.
Horse racing tipster the Ten Pound Tipster has bounced back nicely over the last month, with a profit of 8 points made to Betfair SP since our last update.
That means they are now 23 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
There’s been a slide backwards over the last month for horse racing tipster the Ten Pound Tipster unfortunately, with a loss of 21 points made to Betfair SP since our last update.
That means they are now 15 points up for our trial overall at BSP.
Just a reminder this is a service that advises all bets to Betfair SP, so there are no separate results at advised prices.
The highlight so far has been Sharona, a horse that won at a BSP of 60, which obviously helped things along. A few more winners like that would be very welcome!
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.
One of the first services we reviewed back when launching this website was a horse racing service called Racing Consultants.
In our original review back in 2015 (see below) it made an excellent 135 points profit, earning a deserved PASSED rating.
Regular followers will know one of the most important qualities we look for in a service is longevity – the ability to produce a long-term profit over the course of many years.
That proves a service is not just a flash in the pan or had a lucky run, but has a genuine edge over the bookies.
It is these time-tested services that tend to prove their worth in the long run, whilst other services fall by the wayside.
So with the service continuing to perform very well after our original review ended, we though it was time for a follow-up review to track the results fully again and see what they could deliver.
When we did our original review there were two tipsters – Rory Delargy and David Massey, but now it is just Rory.
So perhaps the name should be changed to “Racing Consultant” (singular) rather then “Racing Consultants.”
In any event, Mr Delargy is well known in racing circles, being chief British racing correspondent for the Irish Field newspaper, and also writes a daily column for the Irish Daily Star, having previously been a regular pundit on Timeform Radio and William Hill Racing Radio – so clearly knows his stuff.
He provides detailed write-ups and analysis of the tips so you can see the level of knowledge and insight Rory has.
We proofed the tips for over two years in our re-review, which gave us a very good body of data – over 1700 bets in fact.
At the end of all that, Rory finished with a profit of 91 points at advised prices.
That came with a solid strike rate of 24% (including placed horses) and a return on investment of 4%.
Overall then across our two reviews, the service has made 226 points profit, which is highly commendable.
The results at Betfair SP weren’t quite as impressive, with a loss of 7 points made for our re-review.
Since starting up ten years ago, the Racing Consultants have made 1100 points profit, results which we have no reason to doubt given the accuracy of their reported results across our two extensive proofing periods.
That puts them right up there with the top tipsters in the sport.
Whilst the results in our re-review were solid rather than spectacular, what you get with this service is consistency and long-term profitability, which is what counts most in the end.
There are very few services out there that are still going after ten years, let alone making over 1,000 points profit.
That proves a clear edge over the bookies and puts them in elite company.
At the end of the day, it’s this consistency and standing the test of time that is far more valuable than a tipster that shines bright for a short time then fizzles out.
So it’s a clear PASSED rating for the Racing Consultants from us and a service well worth adding to the portfolio.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: There are around 2 bets per day on average, with tips are normally sent out in the morning of racing.
Availability of prices: Some prices do get pushed in initially and as mentioned above the Betfair SP results did not generate a profit for our re-review so it is advisable to take the early prices if you can.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was solid at 24%. That means there are some drawdowns to cope with so a bit of patience is required if you want to follow this service.
Advised Betting Bank: The advised betting bank is 100 points which is perhaps a little on the low side as we did go 67 points down at one point in the trial, which would be two thirds of the bank and a little too close to comfort for some. So if you wanted to be on the safe side we think a 150 point bank would be advisable.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are fair considering the consistent results they have achieved, at £29.99 per month or £199 per year at the time of writing.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Racing Consultants is a horse racing tipping service that has been going for ten years. It was originally made up of two tipsters but for the last few years it has just been Rory Delargy providing the tips.
We reviewed the service back in 2015 when it made 135 points profit and in our re-review it added another 91 points profit.
In total the service has made 1,100 points profit since 2014, putting it into the elite group of tipsters who have made over 1,000 points profit.
For longevity and consistency, this ranks as one of the top tipsters out there and is well worth adding to the portfolio.
There’s been a bit of a retracement lately for horse racing tipster Racing Consultants, with a loss of 25 points made at advised prices since our last update.

It’s nice to go back and see one of the old favourites still going and performing well, let’s see if it can kick on now after a tricky month.
The results at Betfair SP are slightly lagging but still in the green, with 10 points profit made for our trial so far at BSP.
Tips are normally sent out late morning/early afternoon, so the markets are well formed by that stage. They also come with detailed write-ups so you can see Rory who provides the selections has really done his homework.
One of the first services we reviewed back when launching this website was a horse racing service called Racing Consultants.
In our original review back in 2015 (see below) it made an excellent 135 points profit, earning a deserved PASSED rating.
We then updated our review back in 2017, at which point it had made 255 points profit since we began following the service.
Regular followers will know one of the most important qualities we look for in a service is longevity – the ability to produce a long-term profit over the course of many years.
That proves a service is not just a flash in the pan or had a lucky run, but has a genuine edge over the bookies. It is these time-tested services that tend to prove their worth in the long run, whilst other services fall off and disappear.
In this spirit it is noteworthy that the Racing Consultants have continued to produce impressive results after our last review update and are now a massive 1,000 points up in total and have a body of work going back over eight years.
That puts them in a very exclusive club of tipsters and always makes us sit up and take notice.
So it is high time to take another look at the service and update our original review from a few years ago.
Just a note that when we did our original review there were two tipsters – Rory Delargy and David Massey, but now it is just Rory.
That hasn’t harmed the results at all – in fact since Rory took solo charge in 2017 the results have been just as impressive, if not better.
Mr Delargy is well known in racing circles, being chief British racing correspondent for the Irish Field newspaper, and also writes a daily column for the Irish Daily Star, having previously been a regular pundit on Timeform Radio and William Hill Racing Radio.
What you get with the service is detailed write-ups and analysis of the tips so you can see the level of knowledge and insight Rory has.
Anyway, without further ado we will get this re-review underway and hopefully we haven’t jinxed things with our build-up here…
It’s worth pointing out there is currently a half-price trial for the first month, which is a decent offer given the results achieved.
Here at Honest Betting Reviews, we don’t like to just review a service for three months and then forget about it.
No, we like to keep monitoring services to see if they continue meriting the original rating we gave them.
So in that spirit, today we are updating a service we have been following for close to 20 months – theRacing Consultants.
This is a horse racing tipping service with tips provided by two industry experts, Rory Delargy and David Massey.
They originally gained an approved rating from us, notching up a very impressive 135 points of profit during the three month trial back in 2015.
It has been something of a rollercoaster ride since then though, with good profits made in the remainder of 2015 following our trial, but then a tough 2016, with a loss of 17 points made on the year.
Thankfully 2017 has started off more positively, with 60 points of profit having been made to date.
Overall then since we have been following them, theRacing Consultantshave made 255 points profit, which is a decent total.
And since the service started in June 2014, they have made 545 points profit. The yearly totals are as follows:-
2014 – 197 points profit
2015 – 305 points profit
2016 – 17 point loss
2017 to date – 60 points profit
So if you had been following them right from the start, you would have done very well.
However, we can only speak of how they have done from when we started monitoring the tips, so what is our feeling now after 20 months?
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
We believe that having made profits of over 250 points since we started following them, theRacing Consultantsare still deserving of a recommended rating.
We recognise however that many people will have found the going very tough during 2016 and to have made a loss over the course of a whole year is disappointing.
The majority of punters will have deserted them during 2016, which is understandable given that you would have to pay subscription fees on top of having lost money.
So we are downgrading them from 4.5 stars to 3.5 stars to take the rocky year of 2016 into account.
We will continue monitoring things and hopefully results will continue in the positive fashion they have started in 2017.
Normally when we hear the words “industry insiders” we make sure our wallets are firmly closed and head for the exit as quickly as possible.
It is usually the fastest way to the poor house to follow so-called “experts” who claim to have some kind of inside knowledge that will make you untold riches. The vast majority of the time it is either lies – they don’t have any special insights – or the info they do have is worse than useless.
So we have been pleasantly surprised by the achievements of two well-known racing industry professionals, Rory Delargy and David Massey, during our trial of their Racing Consultants service.
Rory commentates on William Hill Radio and Timeform Radio and is also an Irish Field Naps Correspondent.
David Massey – aka “Chutney Dave” – is also a commentator on William Hill Radio and works for Bet Racing Nation.
To be fair, their “industry insiders” tag is more to do with the fact that they work in the business and so living and breathing it every day has given them a great depth of knowledge, rather than being given any mysterious “inside info” about horses supposedly due to run well.
The hard work they put in has clearly paid off as they amassed a superb 135 points profit during our trial at advised prices and 129 points profit at Betfair SP.
Here are the results in graph format:
Profit graph for Racing Consultants
As you can see, a very dramatic jump occurred around half way through the trial, when they landed an audacious 66/1 double – whilst backing the selections as singles as well.
That gave the results a boost of about 80 points in one fell swoop. Even taking that out of the equation though, they still made over 50 points profit from all their other selections, which is none too shabby.
You will note the very close totals there between advised prices and Betfair SP, which is very encouraging. So you should be able to just about match the published results just using Betfair.
You can view a full reasoning behind the tips each day via the website and it is reassuring to see the amount of work that has gone in to producing the selections.
Looking at their performance overall, they have made just under 400 points profit since the service started in June 2014. That equates to 25 points profit per month.
Now we haven’t officially proofed the previous results prior to our three month trial, but we have been subscribers to the service since late 2014 so can testify that the published results are accurate.
They have shown a decent level of consistency too, with 12 out of 16 months being winning months.
So a definite pass rating for the Racing Consultants. Let’s have a look now at how the service breaks down.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: OK – there are on average 3.4 bets per day, so a bit of time is needed each day to put the bets on.
Availability of prices: OK – tips are normally sent out in the morning, with best bookies prices quoted. Some of those prices do get pushed in initially. But with the Betfair SP results nearly equaling the advised prices, that should not be a problem.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial might be a little low for some people’s tastes at 15%. That means there are some losing runs to cope with and patience is required if you want to follow this service.
Advised Betting Bank: The advised betting bank is 100 points which we think is just about OK. There have been a couple of 40-odd point drawdowns over the lifetime of the service, so if you wanted to be on the safe side we think a 150 point bank would be advisable.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are very fair considering the quality of results they have achieved, at £39.99 per month or £199 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Overall we have been very impressed with the results achieved by the Racing Consultants. We were perhaps a little lucky to hit them at their best time, with a double that added 80 points to the bank landed during our trial.
At the same time though, they do advise quite a few of these special bets, a number of which have been close, so were maybe due one coming in for them.
Even leaving that aside however, they still made over 50 points profit during the trial. And the fact that the Betfair SP results almost matched the advised price results means you should be able to achieve close to the published results – which is not something you can say about every service we review here.
So in summary we are delighted to find some “industry insiders” who actually know what they are doing for once and put in genuine hard work to achieve great results for their subscribers.
TheRacing Consultants have been in fantastic form since our last update, producing a superb 88 points of profit at advised prices and 96 points profit at Betfair SP.
That means their totals for the trial now stand at:
Their results were helped greatly by a magnificent double a couple of weeks ago at Catterick, where they firstly landed Di’s Gift at 5/1 and then followed it up with Llewellyn at 10/1 an hour later.
They backed not only the singles but also a double at 66/1 to give 78 points profit on the day. Awesome stuff!
That now means they have more than doubled the bank since the beginning of our trial two months ago. Highly commendable work from the lads.
We have just under a month to go on this one, but barring some kind of dramatic collapse a la the Australian batting line-up, this one looks headed for the winning systems list.
After following JPW Racing Tipster for an extended trial of 16 months, it’s time to deliver our final verdict on this horse racing service.
JPW – or James P Walsh to give him his full name – has been a long-established name in the world of racing tips, boasting a large following and a reputation for delivering consistent profits.
We monitored selections for the weekend tips only, although there are options to follow just festivals, Saturdays, weekends or a combination of those.
Coming into our trial JPW had made a profit of 344 points profit on the weekend selections so we were eager to see how he got on in our live trial.
Performance Over the course of our trial, JPW Racing Tipster delivered a solid performance, with a profit of 60 points made from 583 tips.
That was achieved with a decent ROI (Return on Investment) of 9% and a strike rate of 32% (including placed horses).
Those are commendable figures, especially considering the service focuses on high-quality racing at the weekends with strong liquidity.
A good profit of 42 points was also made at Betfair SP, so it looks like a viable service for those restricted to the exchanges.
The only thing slight downside is that service did hit a high point of over 110 points profit at advised prices in September 2023, so there was a bit of a decline between then and the end of our trial.
However, the overall results are more than respectable so we are happy to award JPW Racing Tipster a PASSED rating after a solid trial.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out e-mail, some the evening before racing and some the morning of racing. There is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 8 bets per weekend on average the workload isn’t too bad.
Availability of prices: We didn’t notice too much price pressure overall over the course of our trial. The tips target the bigger races at weekends, where liquidity is usually high.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 32% (including placed horses).
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 50 points at one stage so a 150 point bank could be advisable here.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are reasonable at £25 for 60 days, £30 for 3 months, £50 for 6 months or £90 for 12 months.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
JPW Racing Tipster is a long-running horse racing service from renowned tipster James Walsh.
There are a few different options in terms of following the tips but we focused on the weekend tips only.
After a 16 month trial the service made a solid profit of 60 points so we are happy to award the service a PASSED rating. A commendable effort.
The results at Betfair SP continue to run slightly behind the results at advised prices, with a loss of27 points made since our last update and 37 points profit made for our trial overall.
Just a reminder for the purposes of this trial we are only following the weekend tips of JPW Racing Tipster rather than the other options that are available.
The results at Betfair SP continue to run slightly behind the results at advised prices, with a loss of11 points made since our last update and 64 points profit made for our trial overall.
Just a reminder for the purposes of this trial we are only following the weekend tips of JPW Racing Tipster rather than the other options that are available.
The results at Betfair SP continue to perform well too, with a profit of 8 points made since our last update and 75 points profit made for our trial overall.
Always nice to see a tipster break through the 100 point barrier as they have done here at advised prices. Let’s hope they can keep it going.
The results at Betfair SP have followed a similar path to those at advised prices, with a loss of 16 points made since our last update but 67 points profit made for our trial overall.
The jumps season is in full swing now and with NH racing being specialty are hopeful of getting things moving in the right direction again soon.
The results at Betfair SP have followed a similar path to those at advised prices, with a loss of 16 points made since our last update but 83 points profit made for our trial overall.
The jumps season is their real speciality so as that gets going over the next few weeks hopefully we will see results pick up again.
The results at Betfair SP have also been outstanding, with 99 points profit made for our trial so far.
Just as a reminder, as mentioned in our review introduction below we have verified the tips going back to January, which has given us 278 bets so far.
For a service that only tips at weekends, these results really are superb. To have made over 100 points at advised prices and 99 at BSP for such a minimal workload is worthy of high praise indeed.
Just to note as well that they are running a special offer at the moment for membership for the full National Hunt season, which runs from Friday 6th October 2023 – Saturday 27th April 2024.
The package is normally £129.99 but you can get a £30 discount by using the code HBRNATHUNT2023 at checkout.
So that’s the full National Hunt season for just £99.99 when you use the code HBRNATHUNT2023.
James who runs the service says National Hunt is what he really excels at so this looks like one not to be missed!
We are starting a new trial today of a service called JPW Racing Tipster.
This is one of the longest-running and most established tipsters in the business, having been around for over 14 years now. It may well be a familiar name to you if you have been around the tipping world for a while.
The service is headed by a chap called James Walsh (hence the initials JPW), who also heads up the Tipsters Empire tipping platform.
The JPW Racing service just concentrates on quality racing these days, as they say they don’t have the passion for low grade racing anymore, so during the week for example they concentrate on spending all their time looking ahead to Weekends and Festivals, which they are very passionate about.
In terms of the results, those have been very impressive, with a profit of 344 points made since 2020 for the Weekend selections.
That has been achieved with a return on investment of 23% and a strike rate of 31%, which are excellent combined metrics over a period of three and a half years.
There are an average of 3 tips per weekend which makes it very manageable to follow.
It is worth noting that they offer a number of different services including the National Hunt Package, Flat season package, Festival Only, Saturday Only, Weekend Only or the Option to combine everything, in a joint packages.
For the purposes of this review we will be recording the weekend results. We have six months of tips already verified so will include those in our trial updates.
As always things will be updated here as we go along.

Cotswold Racing is a horse racing tipster covering UK and Irish racing, from the Tipsters Empire stable of tipping experts.
The tipster himself comes from the Cotsworlds near Cheltenham (hence the name) and grew up with horse racing.
He says he uses “a selection of databases and information sources that are helping me to find even more winners and gain even better results. The key is not to get overwhelmed with it all, find the sources that work for you and be diligent.
“When punting I tend to shy away from the obvious and am always on the look out for value, often recommending a horse that will be a lot shorter than its early price.”
That strategy appears to have set him in good stead, with very substantial profits made coming into our trial and a formidable reputation.
So how did it go in the live trial?
Well we followed the tips for a period of nine months, which gave us a decent sample size of over 540 bets.
It took things quite a while to get going and we were slightly in deficit for a fair part of the trial.
However, this was one of those instances where patience was rewarded, as the service eventually came good and got the trial into profit.
In the end they finished 36 points up at advised prices, which was a solid return.
That was achieved with a return on investment (ROI) of 6% and strike rate of 32% (including placed horses).
Here you can see how things really came good towards the end of our trial after a bit of a struggle through the middle part:
The service didn’t perform quite so well at Betfair SP however, with a loss of 31 points made at BSP for our trial.
Overall then it was a solid, if unspectacular, trial.
A profit is still a profit and is not to be sniffed at so we award Cotswold Racing a narrow PASSED rating at the end of our nine month review.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, either in the evening before racing or at around 9am on the morning of racing. Either way there is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 2 bets per day on average the workload is very manageable.
Availability of prices: There was a little bit of pressure on prices as this is a popular service and it is able to identify value and the beat the SP quite frequently, so it is advisable to get your bets on as soon as possible after bets are sent out. A wide spread of bookie accounts is also recommended for following the service.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was good at 32% (including placed horses) so there was a reasonably steady rate of returns throughout the trial.
Advised Betting Bank: A 150 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: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £45 per month, £120 per quarter, £200 for 6 months or £350 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Cotswold Racing is a horse racing tipster covering UK and Irish racing and produced a solid, if unspectacular, 36 points profit during our nine month trial.
It was a decent enough profit to warrant a narrow PASSED rating from us and given the results posted prior to our trial, it is a service to keep an eye on for the long term.
The results at Betfair SP continue to lag those at advised prices, with a profit of 18 points made since our last update but 26 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.
Although the BSP results have struggled a little in our trial so far, as noted in previous updates it is actually the case that since the service began, the BSP results have outperformed those at advised prices, so it may just be a temporary phenomenon that they have lagged so far in our trial.

Things just can’t quite get going for horse racing tipster Cotswold Racing at the moment, with a loss of 3 points made to advised prices since our last update.

The results at Betfair SP continue to lag those at advised prices, with a loss of 11 points made since our last update and 82 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.

The results at Betfair SP continue to lag those at advised prices, with a loss of 24 points made since our last update and 37 points lost for our trial overall at BSP.
Partly that is due to an each-way double which was advised across two weekends, with one of the legs being punted down from an advised price of 7.0 to a BSP of 2.95 (please note that the BSP price of the each-way double is estimated based on the BSP win prices).
It is also down to the fact – as mentioned before with other horse racing services – that when tipping each-way bets with extra places at the bookies, quite a few of these will finish fifth and sixth etc and produce returns with the bookmakers but be losing bets on Betfair.
The third factor is simply horses being backed and their prices at BSP being lower than the advised prices.
Although the BSP results have struggled a little in our trial so far, as noted in our previous update it is actually the case that since the service began, the BSP results have outperformed those at advised prices, so it may just be a temporary phenomenon that they have lagged a little so far in our trial.
The results at Betfair SP are lagging somewhat however, with a loss of 13 points made for our trial so far.

Anyway, we will have to see more results to see how the BSP results hold up over the long term. It is worth noting that since the service began, the BSP results have actually outperformed those at advised prices, so it may just be a temporary phenomenon that they have lagged a little so far in our trial.
We are starting a new review today of a horse racing service called Cotswold Racing.
This is a very prominent tipster from the Tipsters Empire stable who has built up a very respected reputation as one of the best tipsters out there over the last couple of years.
The tipster himself comes from the Cotsworlds near Cheltenham (hence the name) and grew up with horse racing. He says he uses “a selection of databases and information sources that are helping me to find even more winners and gain even better results. The key is not to get overwhelmed with it all, find the sources that work for you and be diligent.
“When punting I tend to shy away from the obvious and am always on the look out for value, often recommending a horse that will be a lot shorter than its early price.”
That approach appears to have served him very well, with a profit of 430 points made since starting up in 2020.
That has been achieved with a solid strike rate of 31% and a good return on investment of 15%.
What is perhaps even more impressive though is the return achieved at Betfair SP, which is even better than the results at advised prices, with 555 points profit made at a return on investment of 19%.
That means it could perhaps be the “holy grail” of horse racing – a service that is profitable to follow at BSP over the long term.
Looking at the profit graph from the last couple of years is something to behold and the kind of smooth upward progress most tipsters can only dream of:
So it’s with great anticipation that we get this trial of one of the most promising tipsters we’ve come across in some time underway. As ever, results will be updated here as we go along.

The Rolling Aces is a tennis tipster from the Betting Gods stable of tipsters.
This service uses an unusual “rolling accumulator” staking system.
In essence this means they roll on the stakes and profit from the previous bet until a sequence of winners is completed.
It is much like an accumulator but doing it manually because the bets are over a few days.
The aim in each sequence of bets is to turn 1pt into either 10pts or 20pts for each attempt. Normally it takes 4 or 5 winning bets in a row to successfully complete a sequence.
If a sequence is completed – or loses – you go back to the beginning and start with a 1 point stake.
In that sense it is good because you aren’t risking more than one point of your bank for each sequence – that is the most you can lose for each sequence. So it’s not like loss-recovery (aka martingale) in which stakes can become ridiculous quite quickly.
In any event, for the purposes of our review we recorded the results at both the advised staking and 1 point level stakes, to aid comparison and to be sure the tips are profitable in themselves and not just because of the staking system.
The bets come in a variety of markets including match odds, handicaps, over/under games and more. The vast majority of bets are on the main ATP and WTA Tours.
We ran an extended 18 month review which gave us a very good sample size of 409 bets.
At the end of our trial, The Rolling Aces finished with a commendable 93 points profit at their advised rolling staking.
That was achieved with a high strike rate of 61% and a solid return on investment of 9%.
At one-point level staking, the returns were a little more modest, with a profit of 11 points made over the course of our trial.
So really it looks like if you are following this service then the rolling staking is the way to go.
As mentioned above, we don’t see this as a problem as it is not loss-recovery staking or really any more risky than one point level staking.
The profits were pretty steady during the trial, as you can see here:
Overall then we are happy to award The Rolling Aces a PASSED rating.
It finished just under the 100 point profit mark which is good going and was solidly in profit for pretty much our entire trial.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, at different times of day depending on when the matches are. Either way there is plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1 bet per day on average the workload is very manageable.
Availability of prices: We didn’t notice a huge impact on prices so you should be able to get close to the recorded results without too much problem.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was good at 61% so there was a reasonably steady rate of returns and drawdowns were kept to a minimum.
Advised Betting Bank: A 150 point bank is recommended for following the service which seems reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during the course of our 18 month trial.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £0.99 for the first ten days then £37 per month.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
It’s been quite a while since we passed a tennis service here at Honest Betting Reviews as good ones are hard to come by.
So we are pleased to see The Rolling Aces come through an extended 18 month trial with a commendable 93 points profit at advised staking.
With decent metrics of a 61% strike rate and 9% ROI, it’s a clear PASSED rating from us for this innovative tennis tipster.

There’s been something of a setback for tennis tipster The Rolling Aces recently, with a loss of 25 points made since our last update at advised staking.
That means they are now 25 points up for our trial overall at advised staking.
This service uses an unusual “rolling accumulator” staking system. In essence this means they roll on the stakes and profit from the previous bet until a sequence of winners is completed. So much like an accumulator but doing it manually because the bets are over a few days. The aim in each sequence of bets is to turn 1pt into 20pts for each attempt. Normally it takes 4 or 5 winning bets in a row to successfully complete.
If a sequence loses you go back to the beginning and start with 1 point staked. In that sense it is good because you aren’t risking more than one point of your stakes for each sequence – that is the most you can lose for each sequence. So it’s not like loss-recovery (aka martingale) in which stakes can become ridiculous quite quickly.
In any event, we are also recording results at level stakes for the purpose of comparison and to be sure the tips are profitable in themselves and not just because of the staking system. They are 3 points down for our trial to date at level stakes.

Today we are starting a new trial of a tennis tipster called The Rolling Aces.
Over the years we have come across very few high-quality tennis betting services. In fact to date we only have one approved tennis service – Tennis Goldmine.
Yet tennis is one of the most gambled-on sports in the world and with matches pretty much year-round it does offer lots of opportunities to bet on.
So we are always eager to check out any promising new tennis services and The Rolling Aces looks like it fits the bill.
It’s only been proofing to the Betting Gods site since August last year but has made a profit every month since then, with total profit of over 110 points made so far.
That has been achieved at a massive return on investment (ROI) of 42% and an excellent strike rate of 66%.
The bets tend to come in more niche markets like handicaps, number of games, breaks of serve etc.
There is a twist with this service though and that comes with the staking. In essence they roll on the stakes and profit from the previous bet. So much like an accumulator but doing it manually because the bets are over a few days so it wouldn’t be possible to place them in an acca as the odds wouldn’t be available.
It’s a little unusual to be honest and not a staking system we have seen used too often. It’s not inherently risky though because you are starting with one point stakes and only rolling on previous gains, so it’s totally different to loss-recovery staking systems that we are not normally fans of.
As ever though we will see whether it works in practice under a live trial. We started receiving tips on 20th January so will record results from then and will update progress as we go along here.

Bets for Today VIP Tips is a combined football and horse racing service providing a range of different bets from singles to doubles, accas, lucky 15s, odds boosts and more.
You can get different sets of tips depending on which level of membership you go for.
The most basic are the free tips, which include the horse racing daily each-way bet and the football daily double, right up to the Platinum VIP membership which comes in at just £16.99 per month (at the time of writing) and includes all the tips.
We ran an extended 18 month trial of the service – incorporating all of the tips in the VIP service – which gave us a very thorough and extensive look at their performance.
In total we proofed over 2,000 tips – one of the largest sample sizes of a trial we have done here at Honest Betting Reviews.
Whilst we have summarised all the results collectively in the table at the top of this page to give the total profit figure of £1593 profit to £20 stakes (or 80 points profit), it is probably more meaningful to take a look at each of the systems separately. Certainly the ROI figure of 4% across all the systems does not reflect that some had considerably better than this.
Here are the results then for each strategy over the course of our trial:-
Footy Doubles: +£223
Footy Trebles: +£107
Footy Accas: +£3
Racing Each Way Earner: +£64
Racing Nap: +£287
Racing Double: +£474
Racing Lucky 15: +£18
Odds Boosts: +£417
What’s really impressive is that they made a profit across each one of the strategies, which is no mean feat.
However, some made significantly more profit than others so really it looks like the ones to focus on are the Footy Doubles, Racing Naps, Racing Doubles and Odds Boosts.
In some ways we are not surprised that some of the systems involving larger multiples – trebles, accas, lucky 15s etc did not do quite as well.
We have often written on this site about how tough it is to get value on multiple bets (accas) – hence why the bookies love them and entice customers to place such bets with all kinds of special offers and bonuses. On a double you can probably just about secure value but much beyond that it becomes tough.
In any event, the performance of the better systems was strong enough over the course of 18 months to suggest they are worth following.
And with very reasonable subscription costs compared to many other services we have reviewed here at HBR, all in all Bets for Today VIP Tips has proven itself well worthy of a PASSED rating from us.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, usually late in the morning (UK time), with a reasonable amount of time to get the bets on before racing starts (and plenty of time for football). If you are following all the systems there are quite a lot of bets to place but you can narrow this down by just focusing on certain systems.
Availability of prices: There appeared to be a slight impact on some of the prices of the horse racing tips after they were posted, although the effect was not uniform so it could have just been general weight of money. We didn’t notice any impact on prices on the football tips.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 35% across the systems and there weren’t any noticeable drawdowns during the review.
Advised Betting Bank: We couldn’t see any betting bank is recommended for following the systems, but would have thought a 100 point bank for each one would be sufficient and this proved to be the case for our trial.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are very reasonable given the results achieved over the last 18 months, starting at free for the daily each-way horse racing tip and daily football double up to £16.99 per month for the VIP Platinum Tips which includes all the systems.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Bets for Today VIP Tips is a combined football and horse racing service providing a range of different bets from singles to various multiples.
We ran an extended 18 month trial of the service and in that time it delivered an impressive £1593 profit to £20 stakes (or 80 points profit). All of the systems finished in profit, although some performed considerably better than others so it is probably a good idea to focus on the best performing ones.
Overall though with very reasonable subscription costs and strong results we are happy to award this service a PASSED rating and a place on our best football tipsters list.
As mentioned previously there are a lot of bets to put on if you follow every system so you may wish to pick and choose – and there are various price tiers depending on how many services you wish to follow.
All the systems are in profit now which is good to see. It has been a particularly good time lately for the Racing Doubles, Racing Each Way Earners and Odds Boosts, which have all added healthy amounts of profit over the last month. Long may it continue.
Horse racing and football service Bets for Today VIP Tips has suffered a slight retracement lately, with a loss of £172 made to £20 stakes since our last update.
However they are still an impressive £1022 up for our trial overall at advised prices.
That is made up of the following results across their various systems:-
As mentioned previously there are a lot of bets to put on if you follow every system so you may wish to pick and choose – and there are various price tiers depending on how many services you wish to follow.
Interestingly all the systems are now in profit, apart from the Odds Boosts. So the tips themselves are doing very well for both horse racing and football, which is good to see.
As mentioned previously there are a lot of bets to put on if you follow every system so you may wish to pick and choose – and there are various price tiers depending on how many services you wish to follow.
Previously the horse racing tips had been doing quite a bit better than the football ones but those positions somewhat flipped this month, thanks to a series of bets that all came in on the same day, including a double and treble involving Gronigen beating PSV at odds of 10/1.
So that put the footy doubles and trebles well into profit, whilst some of the racing bets didn’t have quite such a good month.
In any event, the bets as a whole are well up – including every bet type now – which is the main thing.

Something of a split has emerged between the football and horse racing results, with the former now all down (apart from the odds boosts) whilst the latter are well in profit overall.
In some ways that doesn’t surprise us as it is notoriously difficult to make a profit from betting on football, particularly when betting in multiples.

So far though all but one of the systems is ahead for our trial so it’s been a very impressive start to our trial from this service.
We are starting a new trial of a combined football and horse racing service called VIP Tips from the Bets for Today tipster platform.
They’ve been giving out free racing and football tips since September 2016, and according to the results published on the Bets for Today website, they have performed ridiculously well!
In May, they coupled them with other great value betting opportunities and created different levels of tips:
– VIP Free
– VIP Silver
– VIP Gold
– VIP Platinum
Visitors/members can still get free racing and football tips, and they can get even more now too for an excellent introductory price.
The results as we say are top notch, with the breakdown as follows (all based on £20 stakes):-
Football Tips
Profit/Loss
Double
+£3,748
Treble
+£4,267
Accas
+£3,065
Racing Tips
Each Way Earner
+£371
Nap of the day
+£2,301
Double
-£64
Lucky 15
+£76
Price Boosts
Value boosts
+£108
You can get different groups of tips depending on which level of membership you go for.
The most basic are the free tips, which include the horse racing daily each-way bet and the football daily double, right up to the Platinum VIP membership which comes in at just £19.99 per quarter and includes everything.
If they can repeat the previous results in our trial then this would be an extremely cheap option for top quality betting tips.
As ever we will have to see how they get on under live trial conditions but it does look very promising anyway.

Combat sports like MMA and boxing are becoming increasingly popular to bet on these days and there have been more tipsters popping up in these genres recently aswell.
Rob Brown Betting is one such service following this trend and is a service we were pleased to be able to review.
Rob says he takes a long-term approach to his betting and treats it as an analytical, process-driven investment.
The betting is very selective, with an average of just one bet per week.
That meant over the course of a twelve month trial there were only 40 bets to proof.
Taking such a selective approach is fine as long as you can make it work and thankfully Mr Brown was very much able to do so.
At the end of our trial he finished with a profit of 28 points, which was achieved with a very high strike rate of 79% and an excellent return on investment of 36%.
The profit was very steady throughout the trial, as you can see below:-
With such a low bet volume however, the bank growth was steady rather than spectacular at 28%.
Overall though with those impressive results and being such an easy service to follow, we are happy to award Rob Brown Betting a PASSED rating.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are obtained by logging into the Rob Brown website. With just one bet per week on average it is a very simple and low-workload service to follow.
Availability of prices: We didn’t notice any discernible impact on prices after tips were posted.
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was very high at 79%, meaning a large proportion of winning bets and no losing streaks to endure.
Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point betting bank is recommended for following the service which seems reasonable to us.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are quite high given the results achieved over the last 18 months, at $79.99 per month, $199.99 per quarter or $599.99 per year. Given the subscription costs and low bet volume, this is really a service for high-rollers rather than those with a small bankroll.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Rob Brown Bettingis an MMA Tipster that we followed for one year. It is a very low volume service with just one bet per week on average.
The service performed very well in our trial, making a profit of 28 points. That was achieved with a high strike rate of 79% and an impressive ROI of 36%. With stellar numbers like those we are happy to award the service a PASSED rating, although would warn that with high subscription costs (plus the low bet volume) it is probably a service for the high rollers only.
We have mentioned in previous updates that this is a low volume tipster and that has remained the case, with just four bets since our last update.
That is not a problem though and means it is easy to follow with minimal time involved in placing the bets. Good steady profits is all you can ask for really.
There was just one bet over the last month, which was a 3 unit stake at 1.47 which won. That keeps up the high strike rate with 22 out of 25 bets having won now.
Hopefully a few more bets over the next month – although as long as the profits continue that’s the main thing.
We have mentioned in previous updates that this is a low volume tipster and that has remained the case, with just five bets since our last update.
That is not a problem though and means it is easy to follow with minimal time involved in placing the bets. Good steady profits is all you can ask for really.
As we say it’s been a quiet time for this tipster recently, with just one bet placed since our last update. We mentioned in previous updates that this is a low volume tipster but that is very low volume!
In any event, at least the one bet was a winner and the results continue to be impressive with 13 winners from 14 bets for our trial so far (and one void).
It’s quite a selective service with just 1-2 bets per week on average for our trial so far, which means it is easy to follow and doesn’t involve too much work.
With nine out of the ten bets so far having been winners, we couldn’t ask for much more really.
Combat sports like MMA and boxing are becoming increasingly popular to bet on these days and there have been more tipsters popping up in these genres recently too.
We have previously given passed ratings to services like Premium Boxing Tips and Lucrative MMA Betting tips after trials here at Honest Betting Reviews.
The latest service we are looking at today looks promising too and it is called Rob Brown Betting.
Rob says he takes a long-term approach to his betting and treats it as an analytical, process-driven investment.
His tips have been proofed to the bettin.gs site since 2016 and in that time he has made an impressive 237 units profit at a return on investment (ROI) of 12%.
That has been achieved with a very good strike rate of 61%, meaning a high proportion of winners.
Every year since he started has been a profitable one and the results graph shows a nice upward trend.
So this has all the attributes we like to see from a tipping service – strong, consistent long-term results with good metrics in terms of ROI and strike rate.
As ever though we will have to wait to see how it performs under a live trial before we draw any conclusions.
Results will be updated here as we go along so you can see how Rob is getting on.

Loophole Trader is a new system for trading the horses, using a hybrid between matched betting and trading.
The main system requires the use of bookmaker accounts and preferably with features such as best odds guaranteed (BOG) and cash-out available (there is a separate “Betfair-only system” which we will look at further below).
Over the years we have come across many systems claiming to have found a betting “loophole,” only for 99.9% of them to have turned out to be a load of rubbish – or just a copy of something that is already out there and well known like matched betting.
So we approached Loophole Trader with a little trepidation in the first instance, but after digging in a little were reassured this wasn’t one of those systems.
Essentially the system is provided by way of a written guide, which is quite in-depth and comes with some tutorial videos. Reading through it all and understanding the information will probably take a bit of time and a few goes, as it’s quite complex to grasp what to do in each scenario with a trade.
At its core though the strategy is quite straightforward and entirely logical. In essence it does work and is quite clever really – we haven’t seen this strategy out there anywhere else.
It is worth bearing in mind that the recommended stakes are £250 for the initial bookie bet, but the full stake is never at risk and a losing trade in most cases should result in losses of £10-£20 max.
We had some issues using the strategy as it does require unrestricted bookie accounts as mentioned above, but following it as best we could be made a total of £39 profit from a sample of ten trades.
That’s pretty good and the results spreadsheet from the trader himself (Al) shows a profit of over £800, which we believe is very achievable after a couple of months of doing this.
The main downsides to the system we can see are that:
a) It is does require you to be at your computer for a period before races start (up to half an hour but at least 15 minutes realistically) to monitor the markets live. In the early part of our trial, Al was sending possible races for the day via Telegram and then updating members with alerts when a suitable trade was available, but has now stopped doing so. That’s a real shame in our view as that made it much more viable to follow the system, but Al felt the subscription model wasn’t working and not enough people were following the alerts. That is understandable, but hopefully if there is demand further down the line that option can be looked at again.
b) You would be likely to suffer bookie restrictions after using it for a little while. How long exactly? Well that’s difficult to tell as it normally differs from case to case but after a few months, or even weeks, the bookies might well restrict your account. There are steps you can take to avoid this, as described here.
There is also, as we have mentioned, a Betfair-only system. This involves trading on a horse if given criteria are met (which have been derived from seeing how markets move based on the main system) and getting out once there has been a move in either direction of around 10%.
After executing a handful of trades, it would seem like this strategy could have legs but it would require detailed testing over a long period to say for certain. Sadly the time to do this, as indicated above, would be quite considerable.
In addition Al has added a couple of extra features recently, one is an each-way system which looks quite similar to Each-Way Sniper previously reviewed here and the other is a bot for trading. We haven’t tested either but those are some extra options for members which are good to see.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Loophole Trader is an innovative system that is hybrid between trading and matched betting. It relies on having certain bookie features available to work.
Having read through the manual and tested it out we can confirm that the system definitely works and has sound logic behind it. We made a decent profit from a small sample of trades made.
It is a little time-consuming to use and does require being at your computer in the lead up to races to operate, so won’t be for everyone. As with any successful system, there is also the risk of bookie account closures.
There is a Betfair-only system as well which looks promising but would require extensive testing to draw a definitive conclusion about.
Overall though we are impressed with the main system which is innovative and effective and are happy to award it a PASSED rating.
Loophole Trader is a system for trading on the horses, using a hybrid between matched betting and trading.
It comes in the form of a training course and there is also a Telegram group where the system author, Al, provides a list of the potential races for the day and posts updates if an appropriate odds match is found.
Although the core concept is pretty simple, there is a lot to work through on the course and a lot to get your head around.
The key thing is understanding what to do in various scenarios if the odds drift, steam etc and there are differences between bookies and Betfair. If you don’t understand what to do in these scenarios and get it wrong then it can cost you, so it is essential to get this right and practice a bit before getting stuck in for real.
So it has taken quite a bit of effort to understand all of that and get into a position to trade.
However, I have taken a few trades – although sadly I am somewhat limited in my bookie accounts and am not able to stake at the recommended amount of £250 nor have all the facilities available (just a note that your full £250 should never be at risk – that is just the amount needed for the initial bookie bet – the actual potential loss should be much smaller at around £10).
Anyway, having taken a few dummy trades I am pleased to report that most have been successful and I am around £25 up so far.
In terms of the system itself, as mentioned in the review introduction it is a genuine system and is quite clever. It’s not something I’ve seen before which is impressive given how saturated the matched betting market has become.
You do need BOG bookie accounts for the main system and additional facilities, which we can’t really say here without giving things away, but suffice to say you need bookie accounts without restrictions.
It’s also fair to say that after doing this for a while, you are likely to lose the facilities needed to make the system work. How long that takes will of course vary in each case, but it could be a few months on average, although some may be able to make it last longer of course.
However, the good news is that Al has also developed a Betfair-only system. This is really good news and gives a greatly extended shelf-life to the system.
I am keen to test this Betfair-only system but want to first get the main bookie version tested properly with some results on the board.
Once that is done, I will move on to looking at the Betfair-only system.
So far though it’s a definite thumbs-up for the Loophole Trader and it is looking like a rare breakthrough in the trading/matched betting sector.
We are starting a new trial today of a system called Loophole Trader.
This is a system for trading on the horses, using a hybrid between matched betting and trading.
It’s an interesting concept and one we haven’t come across before, so does look like it is worth testing out.
Now over the years we have heard the idea of a betting “loophole” many times, and the vast majority of the time it turns out to be a con or scam.
However, in this case having taken a look at the basis of the system it does look genuine to us, although of course the real test will be whether it makes money in practice.
The system author is a guy called Al Gibbs, who has spent a lot of time developing the strategy and has written a full course manual (with accompanying videos) to explain how it works. He claims he made over £3,000 profit from trading the system last summer.
In addition to the course manual there is also a Telegram group where Al sends the trades out each day as they can be quite time-consuming to find yourself apparently.
One thing to be aware of is that you will preferably need BOG (best odds guaranteed) bookmakers to make the system work.
Although the core concept is quite straightforward, there is quite a lot to get your head around in terms of knowing what to do in various situations so will need to spend some time getting to grips with it.
As usual though will report back soon on how we are getting on.
Despite having been running this website for over seven years, we have yet to find any really good tipsters on US horse racing.
Some of this may be to do with the fact that until very recently, gambling was largely illegal in the US, other than at the actual racing tracks or in Las Vegas. Well now that individual states are allowed to legalize gambling it is starting to really take off stateside.
This should in turn see more high quality tipsters (or “cappers” as they’re known in the US) starting to emerge on the scene.
It was in such hope that we launched this trial of the US Horse Racing Tipster. With very strong results coming into our trial, we were intrigued to see how it got on under a live trial.
Well we are pleased to say it didn’t disappoint, notching up a very impressive 107 points profit at advised prices.
That was achieved with one of the highest returns on investment we have seen from a horse racing tipster at 48%.
The advised betting bank more than trebled during our trial, which is impressive growth.
And as you can see from the graph below, the results were very consistent and steady throughout the trial:
So all of that is pretty amazing. However, there is a “but” coming…
Yes unfortunately with a service like this that is both very successful and betting on quite niche markets (sadly US racing markets are still fairly illiquid compared to UK ones), the prices do tend to get hammered.
It is not unusual to prices fall dramatically after the tips are sent out. Indeed the tipster’s own long-term results show he beats the SP by an average of 175%.
So realistically it will be very tough to match the results at advised prices. To get close to them you will need a good spread of bookie accounts and be very fast to act once tips are released.
The other thing to be aware of with a service like this is you could face bookie restrictions after a period of time as the markets are quite illiquid as we say so bets like this tend to stand out. Of course, these days the bookies tend to restrict anyone who has even a suggestion of being successful, so it’s not just limited to this service but the poor and unfair practices of bookies in general.
In any event, sadly there isn’t an option to use Betfair with this service as a number of the races aren’t covered by Betfair. In our experience prices also get moved too much on the races that are covered to make it worthwhile.
The bottom line is you can make a good profit with this service, but will have to accept it will be somewhat below the official results.
That in itself is worthy of praise and for that reason we are happy to award the service a PASSED rating.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent out by Telegram, usually in the early evening UK time with plenty of time to get the bets on. As we say it’s a race to get the bets on so ideally you want your bookie account already open and funded ready for the tips to come through.
Availability of prices: As above, prices are affected severely. You need to act fast and have a good spread of bookie accounts (Bet365, Skybet, PP/BF, Betfred are the main ones).
Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 26% (including placed horses) so there were a reasonably steady rate of returns.
Advised Betting Bank: We didn’t see a recommended betting bank but used a 50 point bank for our trial. That seems sufficient as staking is pretty low with this service and certainly it was never remotely in danger during our trial.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £30 per month, £75 per quarter or £120 for six months.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
We have been searching for a profitable American racing tipster for quite a while and thankfully have finally found one in the shape of the USA Racing Tipster.
They produced an excellent 107 points profit at advised prices during our trial, which came at a phenomenal 48% ROI.
However, due to the service’s top class results and the poor liquidity in US racing markets, sadly the prices do get affected quite significantly after tips are sent out. You need a good spread of bookie accounts and to act very quickly after tips are sent out to make the most of the service.
In reality it will be tough to match the official results, but you should be able to still make a decent profit – we would say at least half the official results – with the appropriate set up.

As mentioned previously the service isn’t practical to follow at Betfair SP, primarily because some of the bets aren’t available on Betfair but also because prices tend to get hammered.
Once again it’s amazing to see how many of their doubles get the first leg but the second one just misses out, or trebles where two of the three legs come in.
In such circumstances it could be worth hedging on the final leg via exchanges if you wanted to lock in some profit, because as we say it does seem to happen a lot.

The highlight of the month was a Yankee bet that very nearly landed a huge coup, with three of the four legs coming in. If all four had come in, the combined odds were 328/1 so the returns would have been huge.
As it was three of them coming in still returned a nice 11 points profit from a 0.66 stake.

The tipster actually took June off for personal reasons so there have only been a couple of bets since our last update, but they are back in the saddle and aiming to produce the goods again now over the rest of the season. Fingers crossed they can get back to the form of old.

Although May was a tough month, they were quite unlucky with some of the selections. There was a double for example where the first leg won and the second leg went 1.01 in-running on Betfair but still lost.
There were one or two other doubles/multiples that just missed out so it could easily have been a profitable month. Anyway, that’s the way it goes with racing sometimes so it’s best not to dwell on it.

Not much to report once again for the American racing expert the USA Racing Tipster recently, with no change made at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are still 101 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
As mentioned previously the service isn’t practical to follow at Betfair SP, primarily because some of the bets aren’t available on Betfair but also because prices tend to get hammered.
Unfortunately it appears the tipster was sent some insulting personal messages from trolls recently. This is completely unacceptable, particularly when you consider they have been offering their services for free to members the last few months and were actually slightly up for April on their tips.
Some people it seems can’t handle any kind of losing run (in this case it was just 6 bets) and think it is okay to be abusive. We have said before and will say it again: if you can’t handle drawdowns and losing runs then this game is not for you. They happen to every tipster now and then, even the best.
In this case it’s quite ridiculous to send abusive messages given the losing run was only six tips and the tipster was actually up for the month.
The good news is that the trolls are only a small minority and the vast majority of members understand the nature of betting and that the tipster is working very hard to deliver results for members.
The tipster has had a couple of weeks off but is now back in action and raring to go, so hopefully this is the last we will hear of any trolls. As he said himself – if it is that bad, why not just leave?
It’s been a quiet time for American racing expert the USA Racing Tipster in recent times, with a loss of just one point made at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 101 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
They have been quite unlucky lately as they had five doubles in a row where one of the legs won but not the other, so results could easily have been better recently.
As mentioned previously the service isn’t practical to follow at Betfair SP, primarily because some of the bets aren’t available on Betfair but also because prices tend to get hammered.
It also means you have to be very quick getting the bets on and have lots of bookie accounts available, otherwise you will struggle to obtain value.

It was a little quiet over the xmas period which is to be expected but there should be more action now as the new year gets going.

American racing expert the USA Racing Tipster has bounced back nicely in recent times, with a profit of 10 points made at advised prices since our last update.
That puts them 95 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
As mentioned last time the service isn’t practical to follow at Betfair SP, primarily because some of the bets aren’t available on Betfair but also because prices tend to get hammered.
The highlight recently was picking the winner of the Breeders Cup Classic in the shape of Knicks Go, at a tasty price of 7/1 ante-post.
That kicked things back into gear and hopefully they can finish off the year in style and break through the 100 point barrier for our trial.

It’s been a bit of a tough time lately for American racing expert the USA Racing Tipster, with a loss of 9 points made at advised prices since our last update.
With the previous gains however they are still 85 points up for our proofing overall at advised prices.
As mentioned last time the service isn’t practical to follow at Betfair SP, primarily because some of the bets aren’t available on Betfair but also because prices tend to get hammered.
September was actually their first losing month since starting tipping 45 months ago, which is a shame but the loss was only -4.75 points, so not a disaster by any means.
They also had seven doubles were one leg won but not the other, plus two 1.01 shots that were gubbed in-running! So it could have easily been a winning month, but that is racing of course.
Hopefully the luck will turn around soon and they’ll be back to winning ways.

As mentioned last time the service isn’t practical to follow at Betfair SP, primarily because some of the bets aren’t available on Betfair but also because prices tend to get hammered.
It’s worth noting that staking on this service is fairly conservative, often 0.5 points per bet. That means the results might not look quite as good as they actually are, with a long-term ROI of over 50% being one of the best we’ve seen from any tipster.
It’s been a quiet start to September with no bets so far but they certainly don’t bet for the sake of it which is a good thing, preferring to wait for the right opportunities to present themselves.

The costs are very reasonable given the results achieved, at £30 per month, £75 per quarter or £120 for six months.

Having said that, sometimes the prices bounce back by the off time – particularly on big races so you can get a fair BSP in some instances.

In this review of the USA Racing Tipster we are including the results both from when we started this review (14th May) and from last August when we started following the service in a personal capacity.
From last August the service is 70 points up to advised prices, whilst since 14th May it is 4 points up.
As mentioned when opening this review, the excellent long-term results mean prices get absolutely hammered after they are released.
You really need to have multiple bookie accounts open, funded and ready to go as soon as the tips are posted. Thankfully there is a 10 minute warning before tips are posted so you can get yourself ready.
Even then it can be tough to match the advised prices, so realistically you have to expect to achieve slightly less than the official P/L even with multiple bookie accounts and the fastest fingers in the west.
As also mentioned when opening our review, the SP is a whopping 170% below the advised prices on average, meaning the service is not practical to follow at Betfair SP. In any event, quite a few of the selections are not available on Betfair at all, so that removes the option even if prices didn’t get hammered quite so much.

Despite having been running this website for over six years, we have yet to find any really good tipsters on US horse racing.
Some of this may be to do with the fact that until very recently, gambling was largely illegal in the US, other than on the tote at the actual racing tracks or in Las Vegas.
However, with a recent US Supreme Court ruling having opened up the opportunity for individual states to legalize gambling in their territory, the industry is poised to explode in America.
Already established companies like William Hill have been bought out by US casino giant Caesars, and other gambling companies are partnering up with US brands to take forward sports betting in states where it has been legalized.
This should in turn see more high quality tipsters (or “cappers” as they’re known stateside) starting to emerge on the scene.
However, the good news is there is already one very high quality US racing expert we have been following in a personal capacity for the last 10 months or so.
They are not just one of the best US horse racing tipsters we have come across, but one of the best tipsters in general.
Their overall results are pretty incredible:
+350 points profit at over 50% ROI at recommended stakes;
+430 points profit at over 60% ROI at level stakes.
Those are some of the highest return on investment levels we have ever seen from a tipster over an extended period (over 2 years) so are worthy of huge respect.
They have also managed an astonishing 41/41 profitable months, which is an amazing level of consistency.
However, such phenomenal results do come with a drawback. As you may have guessed, prices are very sensitive and you have to be very quick to snap them up.
Indeed, the tipster actually records how much he beats the SP by and it is a whopping 170%. So this is not a service to follow if you are restricted by the bookies and reliant on using Betfair.
In any event, this is a rare occasion where we are prepared to proof a tipster who doesn’t have their own website, so good are their results.
As such if you wish to sign up or find out more, please drop us a line at info@honestbettingreviews.com
The subscription costs are very reasonable for a service of this quality at £30 per month, £75 per quarter or £120 for six months.
In the meantime we will kick this review off today, but will include results from when we started following the service, which was last August, so you get a fuller picture of their results.
As ever we will report back soon with our first update.
