DG Tips is a horse racing tipster from the Tipsters Empirestable of tipsters.
They entered our trial with a strong reputation, having amassed over 400 points profit in just 18 months of tipping.
Often we find that strong performances prior to our trial don’t always translate into strong performances under live trial conditions.
Fortunately though, we are pleased to say that was certainly not the case with DG Tips, which performed admirably during our trial, notching up a solid 22 points of profit at advised prices.
That was achieved with a good strike rate of 36% (including placed horses) and a decent return on investment of 8%.
And since our trial ended, they have racked up a further 28 points of profit, meaning that since we started following the tips at the beginning of January this year, they have made a very impressive 50 points of profit.
That is a strong performance from a tipster whose tips are nearly all 1-point level stakes.
As you can see from the graph below, it was a little bit of a roller-coaster ride over the trial, but we were always in profit and things have continued positively since the trial ended.
The only downside to the service is that based on the evidence of our trial, it doesn’t appear practical to follow at Betfair SP, as it actually made a 20 point loss at Betfair SP compared to the 22 point profit made at advised prices.
So overall we are happy to award DG Tips a RECOMMENDED rating and four stars.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: There are around 3 tips per day which are sent out the night before racing, so enough time to place the bets and not too time-consuming either.
Availability of prices: The prices get pushed in significantly between when tips are sent out and the off, so early placement of your bets is imperative. As we state above, it does not appear on the basis of our trial that using Betfair SP will be a viable option with this service.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 36% (including placed horses), so a decent proportion of bets giving a return.
Advised Betting Bank: We used a 50 point bank for the trial which we think should be sufficient in the long run, bearing in mind the vast majority of stakes are 1 point and with a 36% strike rate.
Subscription costs: The subscription fees are £30/month, £75/quarter, £135/6 months or £250/year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
DG Tips has performed very well during our trial, notching up 22 points of profit. Since our trial ended they have been in stellar form, adding another 28 points of profit.
That means in just over four months of following the tips, they have made 50 points of profit.
All that with the vast majority of tips to one point stakes is impressive stuff.
The only downside is that the service does not appear practical to follow at Betfair SP, so to get the most out DG Tips you will need access to bookmaker accounts.
As long as you have that, then this is one we would recommend adding to your betting portfolio.
At Betfair SP we are 4 points up, so a bit of a gap opening up there. We will keep an eye on things to see if that remains the case over the rest of the trial.
The vast majority of bets are to 1 point stakes, so that keeps things nice and simple.
So far so good then from DG Tips – let’s hope they keep up the good work.
We are pleased to be getting a new trial underway of a very promising-looking horse racing tipster.
This is our first trial of a tipster from the Tipsters Empire stable and it is always nice to find a new source of tipping talent.
The tipster in question is called DG Tips and from the results so far, looks the most impressive of the tipsters on the Tipsters Empire platform.
In eighteen months of tipping they have made over 400 points profit, which is excellent stuff. The last six months have all been profitable, with July being particularly outstanding with 75 points of profit and October also very good with 40 points profit.
Their winners have included Saigon City at 40/1, Calvinist at 33/1 and Wall of Fire at 28/1.
This does seem to be a service that tips at longer odds so patience may be required, but if you are someone who likes the big wins then this could be for you.
The tips include detailed write-ups which we always like to see and clearly DG knows his horses.
We are quite excited about this trial as we think we could be onto something special here. Only time will tell of course but the previous results are pretty phenomenal.
Just a note that we started receiving tips on 5th January so that is when we will record results from.

Profit Accumulator Full Review
Profit Accumulator is a matched betting product that promises to make you £1000+ per month with no risk. So does it work?
We are pleased to say the answer to that question is an emphatic “yes!” This can certainly make you a very good monthly income with little or no risk.
It uses the free bets that bookmakers and other gambling websites likes casinos and bingo sites offer to encourage our custom to create risk-free bets.
This is done using betting exchanges, which basically allow you to bet against other people and crucially, bet against the outcome you have backed with the bookmaker, thus using the free bet element to create risk-free profit.
The bookies are in fierce competition for our custom so are constantly offering new incentives to entice both existing and new customers with free bets and bonuses.
That means there are daily opportunities to take advantage of these offers and make risk-free cash. Can’t say fairer that that!
What do you get with Profit Accumulator?
Profit Accumulator is a complete package for taking advantage of all the free bets and bonuses offered by online gambling sites to make a risk-free income.
It is suitable for total beginners and provides a complete package to guide you through the process of making money risk-free, including:
Training videos that explain on a step-by-step basis how to set up the risk-free bets.
Lists of both the introductory offers – for opening a new account with a bookmaker or other gambling site like a bingo site – and ongoing offers for those already with accounts.
E-mails containing the best ongoing offers are sent out to members by Sam at Profit Accumulator.
A forum with a great deal of useful information and helpful discussions where you can learn from people who have been doing this a long time and have made it work.
Support should you have any questions about the offers and how they work.
What Marks Profit Accumulator Out from other Matched Betting Sites
Profit Accumulator is undoubtedly one of the very best matched betting sites out there, with some clear advantages over the competition. This includes:
1) Significantly more offers.
– 55 Sportsbook Offers
– 150 reload offers
– 39 Casino Offers
– 17 Bingo Offers
As you can see, that’s a huge number of offers and a great opportunity to make some low-risk cash.
2) Profit Tracker software to help PA members track their profits without needing separate spreadsheets.
3) New Oddsmatching software with odds that update on the fly (so you don’t need to refresh to pull in the latest odds).
4) More (and better) video tutorials
5) Significantly more active forum buzzing with knowledge and advice.
How much money can you make?
Down to the nitty gritty then, just how much money can you make with Profit Accumulator?
As we said in our reviewof Profit Maximiser, the answer to that question really depends on how much time you are willing to put in.
There are people on the forum claiming to have made over £25,000 from being members – amusingly there are various threads corresponding to how much people have made – “the £25k club, “the £10k club,” “the £5k club” and so on where people quote their total winnings and discuss how it has been made etc.
Now we can’t verify if any of those stories are true, but we would say it is possible to make that kind of money – there are enough offers out there to do it, if you have the time to do them.
What would probably be more useful to know is how much money you could make realistically if you took the introductory offers and then what you would make per month from a few hours work per week – probably what most people are able to put in.
To make things easier, I will deal firstly with the introductory offers and then go on to the ongoing offers.
So in terms of the introductory offers that the bookies and casinos etc provide for opening a new account, here is what you could make:
Type
Deposited
Profit
Risk
Notes
Bookies’ Free Bets
£2115
£1334

£110
Risk-free
For new spread bet accounts
Bingo
£270
£270
Not risk-free
Returns estimated – will vary
TOTAL
£3,210
£2,167
As you can see, a really good of amount of money can be made from these introductory offers.
This covers all the bookies including the well-known high street names like William Hill and Ladbrokes, so if you already have accounts with them and others, you should deduct the value of their offers from the totals above.
Whilst the offers with the bookies, some of the casinos and the spread betting firms are risk-free the bingo offers and some of the casino offers are not risk free, so you could actually lose money playing those.
However, given how much free money you are given to gamble with, you would have to be fairly unlucky not to come out with a decent profit from even the offers that do include risk.
It is all up to you of course and what your aversion to risk is – you may prefer just to take the risk-free money and be done with it.
I would say it is worth doing some of the bingo offers even though they carry risk as some of the bonuses are very good (often with 300% bonuses for example) and you really should make money out of them.
Anyway, the bottom line is you can make plenty of cash from the introductory offers and pay for the cost of subscription many times over in just your first few weeks. Then you get onto the ongoing offers…
Ongoing Offers
After you have done the introductory offers it is then on the ongoing – or “reload” offers. This is a great opportunity to add free cash to your bank account on an ongoing basis.
Having done the introductory offers, you will have a pretty good idea of how the offers work by now and it should be like second nature. You will be able to roll through things much more quickly and build up that bank.
There are two methods of finding out about the ongoing offers:-
The e-mails that are sent out by Sam from Profit Accumulator, which list the best offers of the day, with links to the offers so you can click straight through.
The offers that are listed in the Platinum Forum in the members area. There are lots of great additional offers in here, where the members discuss the terms and how to maximise the gains from the various offers.
Having gone through the two sources of the ongoing offers for the month, these are the amounts we calculated you would have made from them over the last month:
Type
Deposited
Profit
Risk
E-mails
£780
£475
Risk-free
Other offers
£320
£180
Mixture of risk and risk-free
TOTAL
£1100
£655
So very positive amounts over the course of the month. There is the possibility of making more – and certainly some people on the forum claim to be making over £1,000 per month from the offers.
Having looked through the offers, we can see it is possible to make that kind of money, but you will have to devote quite a bit of time to it if you want to join this elite league of Profit Accumulator members.
Things to be aware of
Whilst we think Profit Accumulator is a fantastic product and is capable of making you a good tax-free income every month for years to come, there are some things to be aware of before purchasing:-
If you already have Profit Maximiser, it is not worth getting this as well as they offer pretty much the same thing.
It does take quite a bit of time to learn the ropes and understand how everything works. There are excellent training videos provided, so we recommend you watch those first and really let it all sink in before launching into all the offers.
If you just use the offers and don’t place any other bets, the bookies will shut down or limit your accounts pretty quickly. But there are tricks you can use to bet and keep your accounts open without risking money – basically the same method used for the offers themselves – using the exchanges to lay off your bets. There are good sections on the website and forum explaining how best to do this.
The offers vary greatly in quality – to be honest some are not worth doing because they involve huge rollover requirements. Again, there is useful guidance on the website as to which are the best offers and what the value of the various offers is – called the “estimated value.”
If you live outside of the UK and Ireland, you may not be able to do as well as shown in the totals above – please contact Profit Accumulatorfor any questions in this regard.
Profit Accumulator is a superb product and we are delighted to give this a firm recommended rating.
You should be able to make between one and two grand from the introductory offers (depending on how many bookie accounts you already have) and then around £500 per month from the ongoing offers.
The vast majority of this money will be risk-free, which is pretty amazing stuff. There is even the possibility to make considerably more money than that if you are prepared to put the effort in.
It will take a bit of time to learn, but once you have learned the ropes and got the hang of it, Profit Accumulator can keep making you money month after month risk-free, to spend on whatever you like!
Good luck and of you do join up, please let us know how you get on with it.

Little Acorns is a low-liability laying system for use solely on Betfair (or other suitable exchange).
It has been around for some years and has amassed quite a following, leading to it winning numerous awards as a top horse-racing betting system.
We have just completed our trial, which took a little longer than the normal three months in order for us compile the minimum 100 bets we require before judging a system.
So how did it get on during our trial?
Well we are pleased to say it has performed admirably, racking up 189 points of profit at the advised staking (which is progressive and not for the feint-hearted – but more on that later).
At level staking, it also made a more-than-acceptable 116 points of profit.
How Does it Work?
The system has just four rules and is fairly simple to understand and operate for anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of betting.
You should only need 10-15 mins per day to find the selections, you then place your bets and you are done. Just come back later to check your winnings (or losings).
It could even be possible to programme a bot to find the selections for you, but this is certainly not necessary.
Staking
The staking is a significant element of the system and if you follow the progressive staking, then you need to make sure you have a big bank – they recommend a 176 point bank – and nerves of steel!
This was illustrated during our trial when at one point we had a losing run of eight selections and had to stake 34 points on the next selection – just to win back most of what we had lost!
So things can quickly get out of hand and had that ninth selection lost, we would have dropped over 70 points on the losing run.
For many people, enduring a losing run like this and having to stake massive amounts will simply not be palatable.
But do not despair if this is you, there is level staking which will be much less heart-attack inducing, whilst at the same time not delivering quite the same returns as the progressive staking over the long run.
There are also staking systems in between these two that can be used now.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: When you sign up, you receive a 24-page PDF which explains the system clearly. You then need to find the selections yourself. This takes a little bit of time to start off, but once you get the hang of it should not take longer than 15 minutes per day.
Availability of prices: N/A – as there no “advised selections” as such, there is no question of advised prices either.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 51%, so pretty decent and around what we would expect in the long term.
Advised Betting Bank: A 176 point betting bank is advised for the service, which is one of the few instances of us seeing a sufficient bank being advised by a service!
Subscription costs:For a one-off fee of £97 you get access to the system and that is it, no further payments are required.
OVERALL VERDICT:
Little Acorns made a good profit of 189 points at advised staking during our trial, which is a nice total for 100 bets in just over three months.
It was a rollercoaster ride at times and you have to be prepared for that if you use the progressive staking. If you like things more stress-free, then we recommend level staking – but you should also be prepared to accept lower returns with that approach.
The system itself is remarkably simple but one we believe is fundamentally sound and does appear to have stood the test of time with a good few years of results behind it.
Please understand that this requires patience to build a bank gradually over time and it’s not going to make you rich overnight.
But then the best investment opportunities never do, because they are genuine and not just based on slick marketing.
With dedication and sticking to it over the long term, we think you can do well with Little Acorns and are therefore happy to recommend it.
Little Acorns is a very good betting system and well worth adding to your portfolio.
Little Acorns is a low liability laying system for use on Betfair.
It is a system where you must find the selections yourself, but this usually only takes a few minutes a day.
We have now been running a live trial of this system for over two months and are pleased to report that it is currently 173 points up* to the recommended staking system.
There has only been a one point change since our last update a couple of weeks ago, although it has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride over that period, with a run of losers followed by some winners.
At level staking, we have lost 26 points since the last update, meaning we are 49 points up overall for the trial.
We have just a week left in the trial so will be wrapping things up shortly on what has been a positive trial.
*Update 9th March 2017: Please note there was previously an error in the results that had a losing selection at Ludlow on 25th January as +19.2 points where as it should have been -19.2 points. The results and the update above have been amended to reflect this.
At level staking, it has been a bit slower as we have made just 5 points profit since our last update. But we are still 75 points up at level staking for the trial overall, which is pretty decent.
We have less than a month left in our trial, so will be wrapping things up in not too long.
At level staking things have been a little slower, with 13 points lost since our last update, taking us to 11 points up overall.
As we have mentioned before, it depends on what time you make the selections, so you results may differ slightly from ours.
At recommended staking, things can get a little hairy as we did get up to 80 points per bet at one point.
But that is the nature of progressive staking – you need to have the stomach to place some pretty hefty bets if you have a few losers in a row. If you are comfortable with that, then this system should be fine for you.
Using level staking, the loss on the week was 27 points taking total profits for the trial so far to 24 points.
There were only three bets this week, all of which lost. We are now having to ramp up the staking using the Fibonacci staking plan, so hopefully we will have a winner before the staking goes crazy!
You can find out how it went at the time of our next update…
More profits to report for Little Acorns since our last update. They have made an additional 25 points profit over the last week, bringing them to 81 points up overall for the trial at advised staking.
Little Acorns is an award-winning low liability laying system for horse racing that recommends using a ratcheting (Fibonacci) staking system.
For this trial, we are recording results using both the recommended Fibonacci staking system and level stakes, for the purposes of comparison.
We are pleased to report that results so far have been very good, with the recommended staking bringing 56 points of profit and level stakes bringing 45 points of profit.
We can’t record the actual selections on the spreadsheet as it would become obvious what the system is, so we have just noted down the track and the result.
There are quite a small number of selections, with often just one bet per day and some days even with none.
The selections have to be found manually, which can take a bit of time (e.g. 15-20 minutes per day).
So far so good for Little Acorns, let’s hope for more of the same over the rest of the trial.
“Mighty oaks from little acorns grow” so goes the saying.
That is the theory behind the latest betting system we are testing here at Honest Betting Reviews – called Little Acorns.
It is a low-liability laying system for the horses that aims to build your bank up gradually and slowly until it become very big – much like a mighty oak.
The idea is to grow your bank just 10% each month. And if you can do that, then you would turn £1,000 into £3,138.39 in just 12 months – and a staggering £30,911.80 in 36 months.
So as you may have gathered, it relies on compound investing to build up that kind of profit.
The results on the sales page show some remarkable monthly profits, with an astonishing 955 points profit going right back to 2009.
That is one of the best profit totals we have ever seen.
The system has won numerous awards as well, so clearly has it fans and is very popular.
Laying horses is not an easy way to make money – indeed if you look at our list of winning systems, there is only one laying system in there (Cudworth’s Racing Lays).
However, just because it is unusual does not mean it does not work very effectively.
And if our results can match those on the sales page and our bank grows in the way they suggest, then we may have found something very special here.
We have to say we are intrigued by this system as it offers a very different approach to betting to those we have reviewed so far.
Only time will tell under our trial conditions to see if things turn out as hoped though.
So without further ado we will kick off a live trial today and will report back soon on how things are going.
Grant analyses hundreds of US stocks and then sends spreadsheets by e-mail with details of his analysis.
He uses colour-coding to indicate a possible buy (in yellow) or a recommended buy (in green).
The depth of his analysis is very impressive and you can see Grant really knows his stuff. This is definitely not one of those fly-by-night, pump and dump merchants you see so much of on the internet these days.
What you are getting here is very high quality research with all aspects of a stock examined.
Results
For the review, we bought all those stocks that were recommended (i.e. those in green), plus those that Grant bought himself.
The results were very impressive over the course of the six month trial.
We recorded results for two different approaches to following the recommendations:
If you had bought all the stocks and held them, you would currently be 98% up, an excellent total and one that you would struggle to match anywhere. So if you had invested $2,000 in each of the shares recommended, you would have made $1,960 profit over the trial using this approach.
If you had taken the approach that Grant advises on his message board – to sell stocks when they are 5% in profit and to hold the others until they hit that point – you would have made 50% of realised gain and be holding three stocks, that are a combined 20% down currently. So in effect you would be 30% up – also very good for quite a conservative approach.
Plus these figures don’t include dividends – although they don’t include dealing costs either, but we would imagine the dividends would exceed the dealing costs slightly, depending on the amount of your investment of course.
Here are the results in graph format:
As you can see, very impressive growth throughout the trial.
Patience Required
This is the kind of service that requires patience – over the course of six months we only bought 13 stocks.
So if you are looking for instant thrills and loads of trades, this probably isn’t for you.
However, frankly the stats on day trading are pretty horrendous, with over 98% of people losing money, so you are better off avoiding it altogether!
If you are looking to make money though, this seems like a great way of doing it. Grant follows the value approach of Warren Buffett and the results show without doubt that this is very effective.
In our experience, the best way of making money in the stock market is to buy and hold stocks for a good period of time. The shorter a period you trade over, the more likely you are to lose money.
The approach to picking stocks is very selective, with only those that tick all the boxes being recommended.
If you have some money to invest in shares and want to experience excellent returns – the like of which you would struggle to match through any mainstream investment trust or a typical fund manager – then we can highly recommend this.
You will be getting a first class service, with tonnes of research done for you and only the very best value stocks recommended.
The BTMA Wealth Builders’ Clubhas progressed along nicely – albeit quietly – since our last update just over a month ago.
The recommended buys are now 55% up if holding the stocks, very decent returns indeed.
If you had taken the approach of selling stocks when they achieve a 5% gain and holding the others, you would still have +25% of realised gains and be holding three stocks currently.
Grant also sold Chevron (CVX) on 29th June for a 5% gain plus dividends, although the stock was bought before our trial started so won’t be included in our results.
There has been one recommended buy since the last update – Parker-Hannifin Corp – which has moved up nicely since being recommended.
Good to see this one progressing steadily and results are very much in line with those advertised.
There has been good progress for BTMA Wealth Builders’ Club since our last update a month ago, with an increase of 13% on the stocks bought.
That means we are now +11% for the trial taking the approach of holding all the stocks.
If you had taken the approach of selling stocks when they achieve a 5% gain and holding the others, you would have +20% of realised gains and be holding three stocks currently.
Grant also sold Exxon on 15th June for a 5% gain plus a 3.31% dividend per year, although that was bought on 4th March 2015 so well before our trial started.
Just to say again we really like Grant’s no-nonsense approach and straight, honest advice. There is no hyped sales-y rubbish here nor any inflated results to make himself look better than he is, like you see from a lot of supposed stock market “gurus.”
So far what we have seen is very thorough analysis and only shares that tick all the boxes receive a “recommended” rating.
That means there aren’t many that are recommended, but those that are have performed well to date.
It has been a quiet time for BTMA Wealth Builders’ Club, with just 2 stocks bought (plus one that Grant bought himself, so you had the choice of copying him on that as well).
Overall, if you bought all the recommended stocks and held them, at the time of writing your net position would be a loss of 2%.
As one of the first stockmarket products we have reviewed here at Honest Betting Reviews, we were intrigued by Beat the Market Analyzer (BTMA) Wealth Builders Club as it looked like a very promising product.
And we have to say that so far we have not been disappointed.
Frankly there are a lot of rubbish stockmarket products out there that either make ridiculous claims that they will make you untold riches or that are just waffle that is incomprehensible.
This is not the case though with BTMA. What you get with this is genuine, in-depth research on stocks that is clear and very well informed.
Grant who runs the service gives regular analysis on stocks in the following indices:
S&P 500
S&P 400 Mid Caps
NASDAQ 100
DOW 30
Russell 2000 Small Caps
Biggest decliners amongst the entire market
52-week low stocks amonsgt the entire market
What you get with the service is regular weekly spreadsheets with hundreds of stocks analysed in amazing detail.
Each stock Grant looks at gets a thorough analysis which is based on the Warren Buffett ethos of “value investing.”
Grant uses a range of indicators to look at whether a stock is a bargain price, including:
Companies must have been around for 10 years
Good and consistent fundamental data
Do you understand what this company does?
Will this company’s product still be successfully sold within the next 10 years?
Does the company have a durable competitive advantage?
Reviewing financial statements and annual reports
Then having done this analysis, on the spreadsheet there are stocks that Grant considers “possible buys” which are highlighted in yellow and then good buys which are highlighted in green.
So how have things been going so far?
Well there have only been three recommended buys so far, but they have all done very well.
The three stocks that Grant has rated as good buys have made profits at the time of writing of:
10%
5.4%
1%
So excellent progress and well in line with the kind of gains advertised.
Although it is early days and only a small number of stocks have been recommended to buy, we are impressed both with the thoroughness of Grant’s approach and the results.
That’s a rhetorical question really, of course everyone would. He is one of the richest men in the world and an all-time legendary investor.
Now you may not be able to emulate the billions that Buffet has made, but there is a new strategy we have come across that promises to follow his value investing strategy.
The system is called Beat the Market Analyzer (BTMA) and is run by a guy called Grant Gigliotti.
The results on the sales page show that the system has consistently – and convincingly – beaten the S&P 500 over recent years.
From 2013 to present, the S&P 500 has made 38.61% profit, where as BTMA has made 392.06% profit.
In that period it has beaten the S&P 500 in all but 2 months (with four months having no stocks sold), which is a very healthy monthly success rate.
The explanation on the sales page about how Grant developed the strategy is very logical and as I say, is based closely on the value investing approach of Warren Buffett and the mentor of Buffett, Benjamin Graham.
You can get a 14 day trialfor a very reasonable $14, which is a good opportunity to get a feel for the system.
By signing up you will receive the Wealth Builders Club System and your bonus “Company Analysis Reports,” as well as daily recommendations of the most profitable, safest stocks to buy along with thousands of analyzed stocks each week.
So we will be interested to trial this one and see if we can build our stockmarket portfolio in the style of Warren Buffett!
We will return soon with updates on how things are going.

When people ask us what is the most important thing to look for in a betting system or tipster, we normally reply longevity.
Any tipster or system can do well over the course of a few months.
But very few can do well over the course of say a year. Even fewer can continue to deliver consistent profits over the course of a number of years.
And only the very best can sustain profit-making over 5 years or longer.
Horse racing tipster Bet Alchemist is one of those who has done this and really stood the test of time.
Since starting tipping in 2011, they have made over 750 points profit, with an average staking of 1 point per selection.
So if you’d backed all those tips at just £25 per point, you would have made £18,750 – not bad going at all!
With an average of 8 profitable months per year, you are talking very consistent tipping here.
These are very impressive results over a long period of time and we are pleased to say that they have lived up to that record during our trial.
With a profit of 38 points achieved at a return on investment of 26%, this is very much what we were expecting from Bet Alchemist.
Here is a look at the profit graph for the trial:
Other than a bit of a dip half way through, it was fairly steady upward growth and finished well up in the end.
The only downside of Bet Alchemist was that the results at Betfair SP were considerably lower than at advised prices, with the trial finishing just 3 points up compared to 38 points up at advised prices.
So it doesn’t look like Bet Alchemist is viable to follow at Betfair SP and this is a service for those with bookie accounts still available to them.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: Tips are sent out normally the evening before racing or in the morning, so plenty of time to get bets on. With an average of just over 1.5 bets per day, there is not a huge amount of work involved in following the service.
Availability of prices: Prices do tend to get smashed in by the time of the race – hence the much lower results at Betfair SP – so you need to get your bets on quickly. Prices are quoted from a variety of bookies and are normally available for a short while after tips are posted, so it is just a case of moving as quickly as possible and certainly within an hour or so if you can.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 33% (including placed horses), so pretty respectable stuff and returns will be frequent enough.
Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial and it was never in jeopardy during the trial. There was a 60-point drawdown in 2015 though, so you might want a 150 point bank to be really safe.
Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £30 per month or £79 per quarter, which is very reasonable for a service of this quality.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Bet Alchemist has shown itself to be a very consistent performer over a long period of time – with over 750 points of profit made in 5 years of tipping.
And that consistency was demonstrated during our trial as well, with 38 points of profit racked up to 1 point stakes and with a return on investment of 26%.
The only minus point is that it doesn’t seem practical to follow the service at Betfair SP, so this is probably one for those who still have some bookie accounts available to them.
As long as you fit that bill, then Bet Alchemist comes highly recommended and should definitely be added to any betting portfolio.
That is with staking of generally 0.5pts e/w, so is probably actually better than it sounds when you consider most tipsters use higher staking than that.
At Betfair SP however, things have been moving more slowly, with 5 points actually lost since our last update, meaning they are 3 points down at Betfair SP for the trial.
Prices are fairly obtainable and they quote odds from a number of different bookies when giving out the tips, not just the single best one.
So you should be able to get close to matching the results at advised prices as long as you have a few bookies account open.
At Betfair SP though, the jury is out at the moment.
Alchemy – the process of turning base metals into gold.
In betting terms, that probably means just making a long-term profit – which for the vast majority of punters and even most tipsters is seemingly just as difficult as creating gold from metal.
The latest horse racing tipster we are about to trial here at Honest Betting Reviews has been able to do just that over the last 4 years though, racking up close to 700 points in profit in that time.
So perhaps the title of Bet Alchemist is richly deserved in this case.
Their impressive profit totals have been achieved with an average stake of just 1 point – so no mad staking system used to inflate results like some tipsters are known to have done.
There are apparently 6-8 bets per week, so a reasonably selective approach is taken to betting.
On average they have managed 8 profitable months out of 12 per year, which is a very decent level of consistency.
The average odds of the tips is 12/1, so we are talking about needing a degree of patience to follow the Bet Alchemist. But with results like theirs, it sounds like that kind of patience has been richly rewarded.
So far in 2016 they are apparently 91 points in profit, so seems like a good time to join them.
Anyway, without further ado we will get the trial underway and hopefully see some decent returns over the next three months.
We will be back soon with our first update on how things are going.
The Z Code System is a suite of betting tips and systems across a range of sports including US sports such as basketball, ice hockey and NFL as well as other sports such as tennis and soccer.
It is probably more accurate to describe the Z Code as a “betting community” rather than a system.
There are a huge range of options to potentially use and it can be a little overwhelming when you first join up.
As there a literally hundreds of systems and tipsters to choose from, this has been a difficult service for us to review and we didn’t think there would be any point in us of following a given number of systems – say 3 or 5 – and giving the results of those, as that would only give a sense of a tiny fraction of what is on offer.
So instead we think it would be more useful to give a rundown of the service, what if offers and our overall verdict on it.
What do you get with the Z Code System?
The Z Code System has been around since 1999 and has been one of the best-known and bestselling systems in the world over that time.
After you join up and log in, there are a number of helpful tutorial videos to get you up to speed with how the platform works.
There is instruction on the various features of the Z Code System, what tools are available, as well as general advice on betting, including paper trading, using sensible betting banks and not over-betting.
In the main there are two different types of selections you can follow:
Expert Picks
These are tips from specialist tipsters in a range of sports and the top 30 are listed in order so you can see who is performing best.
The screenshot below shows an example of the top expert picks table.
This is where you can focus your time to find some of the most successful tipsters on the Z Codeplatform.
Here is a look at what you get when you click through to one of the tipsters. In this case it is the no.2 tipster, Brendan.
As you can see, it is done in forum style, with the tipster posting their picks for today’s matches with the odds and stakes and then other people can post questions or comments.
This is an example of what we mean by the Z Code being as much a betting community as a set of systems.
Members are able to post their own picks, share ideas with others and chat on the forum as well as use all the systems on the website.
Automated Systems
The other type of betting option in addition to the tipsters are the automated betting systems.
These are based on data, stats and trends with full histories of each system’s selections, broken down by season, last 30 days, last 7 days, sport, day of the week and a host of other metrics.
As you can see from the above screenshot, some of these systems have great records, a number of them with over $100,000 profit since inception (although that is with stakes ranging from $100 up to $1800 or so).
The profit lines on a number of them are very solid and indicate impressive consistency over the long term.
At the time of writing there are currently 171 systems to choose from, with a combined profit of over $420,000.
Picks for Every Game
In the VIP picks area you have tips for every game in major US sports, together with comments and a recap of the previous day’s matches.
However, the Z Code System’s authors are keen to stress that you should definitely not be betting on every game as that would be the fastest way to the poor house.
Instead it is more of a starting point for the day where you can have a look at matches and get thinking about potential angles and systems to follow.
The Daily Recap Wall is like the hub of the community with lots of discussion and debate on sports picks and the performance of systems and tipsters within the Z Code platform.
Other Tools Available
There are a range of other tools available with the Z Code, including:
Contests – for things like the best betting bot, a $500 fan contest, a famous 5 Premiership Competition for predictions in the Premier League each week and an all-round Hall of Fame.
Almanac – an additional product that allows you to create your own betting system using 11 years of data for the purposes of backtesting.
Fantasy – there is a fantasy sports optimal lineup generator tool plus links to some of the major fantasy sports sites.
Bookmakers – details of some bookmakers and those that accept US customers.
Forum – a comprehensive forum with a huge range of topics covering everything from the various sports you can bet on to trading stocks, support, exploding betting myths and much more.
Overall Verdict
The Z Code System has been a difficult service to review because there are such a huge range of options and tipsters available on the platform.
There didn’t seem much point in reviewing say one or two of these tipsters because it would only give a small sense of the service.
This is something we would describe more as a betting community, membership of which gives you the possibility to use some very good systems and tipsters as well as rub shoulders with other gamblers, learn from others’ expertise and share betting knowledge.
Some of the systems available through the Z Code System have very impressive records, so from that point of view there is good potential to make money from this.
Overall then we feel this is worth a recommended rating, as there is a great deal on offer and we would think using a portfolio of the tipsters and systems on the platform should provide good prospects of making a profit.
Well it’s a portfolio of betting system and tips from a range of tipsters across US Sports including baseball, NHL, football and basketball.
The system claims to have made over $181,000 profit from its portfolio of top 7 systems, proofed in front of a live audience.
Very impressive stuff.
With the sporting calendar being as it is, there are picks all year round so you should never be in want of a bet.
The Z Code has been around 1999 so seems to have stood the test of time and there are a good deal of results that appear to have been proofed on their home page.
There are automated systems you can follow, the top 10 of which have apparently made some very impressive profits.
There does appear to be a wealth of information available with the Z Code, so it will be interesting to see what the best way of following it is.
Tutorial videos on how to follow the selections is included however, so hopefully they will give us ample explanation.
Anyway, we are quite intrigued by this product and are looking forward to testing it.

*ROI figure based on average total outlay per accumulator.
Accumulator Generator Full Review
We have reviewed three Mike Cruickshank products so far here at Honest Betting Reviews and all have received approved ratings. So how does Accumulator Generatormeasure up?
Well we are pleased to say it is another excellent product from Mike.
Basically this is a system that allows you to take advantage of the bookies’ free bets on football accumulators.
Most of the bookies now have an offer such that if one leg of your acca loses, then you get your stake refunded as a free bet, up to a maximum of £50.
What Accumulator Generator does is set things up so that you can guarantee yourself a profit whatever happens from these accumulator bets.
As with most of Mike’s products, it takes a bit of time to watch all the videos, understand how it works and get used to using it.
Once you have done that though, it is pretty straightforward to use and it should take no more than 10-15 minutes per day to set up your accumulators.
The main thing you need to do is remember to lay each leg of your accumulator between matches.
Sometimes that can be the next day, but sometimes you will have matches on the same day so will need to log back into the system on the same day.
As long as you remember to do that though, you should be able to make an average of £10 per accumulator, which quickly adds up.
Doing just one acca per day would make £70 per week, or £300 per month.
Doing two per day would be £140 per week or £600 per month – and so on.
Not bad for just 15 minutes work per day is it?
So overall we are happy to give Accumulator Generator an approved rating and add it to the list of top notch recommended products from Mike Cruickshank.
Yes, this definitely works – the logic is sound and as ever, Mike has done all the work for you so just need to enter the amounts into the calculator and place the bets.
How does it work?
Accumulator Generatorbasically takes advantage of the accumulator offers provided by the bookmakers.
So for example, if you place a £25 bet on a five-fold accumulator and one leg loses, then you will get £25 refunded as a free bet. There are currently about 20 bookies offering this type of accumulator refund.
What Accumulator Generator does is to create value from these offers so as to maximise profits. As usual with Mike Cruickshank products, there are extensive and very helpful training videos, as well as a tool for finding the bets and a betting calculator.
So you have everything you need to firstly place the accumulators with the bookies and then to lay them off with the exchanges.
Here is a look at what the main “acca matcher” page looks like, where you can find the offers:
On the left in the red boxes are the “estimated values” of the offers – i.e. how much you can expect to make from each one. Then you have information including how long until the acca will be completed, the bookie the offer is with, the odds to back and lay and then you click on the purple box on the right to go through to the calculator to set up and place the acca.
As you can see, there are over 34 pages of offers – so a massive amount to choose from!
Here is a look at the calculator screen:
The calculator basically works out at each leg how much you need to put on the next match and tells you how much you will win depending on what the overall outcome of the acca is.
Once you have got the hang of things, it really is very simple to use.
The good thing about having so many offers is that it should mean the members of the service are not all doing the same offers and therefore hopefully there shouldn’t be any red flags raised with the bookies.
What if I have two losers?
Now at first we wondered whether this system would work if you had more than one loser in your accumulator, as the bookies only give you a refund if you have one loser.
But as ever, Mike has all bases covered and sets things up in such a way that you cannot lose. Essentially once one leg of the acca loses, you are laying against the potential refund so are still “using” the free bet so to speak.
There are different ways you can play the offers:-
Bet/lay and hope – basically place your acca with the bookies and lay it off with the exchanges. You are hoping one leg loses so that you get the full refund (which can be up to £50). If no legs lose or more than one does, you make a small loss.
Bonuses – you lay off each section of the acca as you go along, making progressively more money the further through the acca you go before you hit a loser.
Lock in a profit – you lay off each section of the acca as you go, but in such a way as that you make pretty much the same profit whatever happens. This is normally about £10 profit for a £25 or £50 bet.
Advantage play – you just play the offers and accept some will lose but you should win overall as you have an edge over the bookmaker (although we are not quite sure why you need Accumulator Generator for this method!)
Of the approaches above, we definitely prefer 3 – locking in the profits and that is the one we used pretty much exclusively over the second half of the trial.
How much money can I make?
To this we would give our standard response for Mike Cruickshank products – it depends how much work you put in. As we say above, if you use the lock in profits method then you are talking about £10 per accumulator.
However, some of the better accas will bring in £12 or even £15, although on other occasions it will be just £1 or £2 if the odds on the later matches change against you.
Then it is a question of how many you can do per week. Most of the bookies have a limit on how many of the offers you can do per week or month – for most of them its once per day but some are as little as 4 times in total.
There are plenty of options available – so for the “once a day” bookies you could do the offers a few times per week. Some days there just won’t be enough matches to make it work and then a lot of the accas take 4 or 5 days to play out. But with a bit of work we would estimate you could do about 10 offers per week without too much trouble.
Are there any drawbacks to Accumulator Generator?
The main drawback is time – if you are using the bonus or profit lock-in versions, then you will have to go back in and lay each leg of the acca as it goes along, sometimes over 4 or 5 days. So firstly, you have to remember to do that! And secondly it is a little time consuming.
However, we would think if you place a lot of similar accas at the same time with different bookies, then it should help to reduce the time and chances of missing a leg, as you can do them all at once when you go to lay a leg.
The other potential drawback, as with all of Mike’s products, is of your bookie accounts being limited or shut down. As ever, the advice is to use “mug bets” and don’t overdo the offers – don’t take the p*ss basically and you should be ok!
Our feeling is also that bookies generally love punters who place lots of accumulators, so you would be at less risk of bookie account closures than with some other forms of matched betting, as long as you don’t overdo it of course.
Please note that Accumulator Generator may not work outside the UK and Ireland – please check with Mike Cruickshank via support@bonusbagging.co.uk to check the situation in your country.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Experienced matched bettors will probably be familiar with the excellent quality of Mike Cruickshank’s betting products and Accumulator Generator is no exception to this.
The software that finds the accumulators really is a great bit of kit and gives you so many potential accas to use – sometimes literally hundreds at any one time!
The main thing to be aware of is the need to lay each leg of your accas between matches – sometimes you can do that all at once and be done within 10 minutes per day, but on other occasions you will need to go back in and lay the next leg on the same day.
Other than that, we really can’t see any downsides to Accumulator Generator and strongly recommend it as part of your matched betting portfolio.
Doing just one acca per day would average you around £300 per month and two per day would average you £600 per month.
We have been testing Accumulator Generator for two months and are really getting into a groove with it now.
We are £387 in profit so far, but to be honest it could be much better than that as it has taken a little time to get to grips with it and find the best strategy.
But now we have settled on using the guaranteed profit method and are just spending 5-10 mins per day and making a nice £10 or so on each acca.
It is so easy, just go to the “reminders” page each day where all your current accas are saved and then lay the next leg, click update and you are done. Simples!
Sometimes you will need to lay more than leg per day, but you just have to set yourself a reminder to lay the next leg between matches.
The software really is fantastic in finding all the best value accas and working everything out for you.
Sadly the “Lay All” option didn’t turn out quite as good as expected as there are only a few of them worth doing each week.
But just sticking to the guaranteed profit option is the way forward for us and now we will put the peddle to the metal as it were over the last month of the trial to really crank out the profits.
Accumulator Generator really is a top notch product from Mike Cruickshank again and definitely gets a big thumbs up from us.
We have taken the approach of guaranteeing approximately the same profits whatever the outcome rather than the variable profit approach.
Our thoughts are generally the same as stated in our previous update below – this is a very good product and certainly does “work”- but does require quite a bit of effort to operate successfully.
And importantly you have to remember to update your acca after each leg. I forgot on one of mine – but fortunately the accumulator came in so I made a tidy profit! 🙂
But really that was a mistake and you shouldn’t allow it to happen because it defeats the purpose of the product.
I haven’t “maxed” this out as much as I could have done – you could certainly do more offers and make more money than I have over the course of a month, but you would also run the risk of the bookies limiting if you did, so I think spreading the offers around and not overdoing it is a good idea.
We will probably wrap up this review in a couple of weeks as there isn’t much to add to what we have said already and you can see from the results that you generally make around a tenner from each of the offers, so that isn’t going to change (unless the bookies change their offers of course).
UPDATE 7TH JANUARY 2016
Just a quick update to say that Mike has added a new method for placing the accas which means you can now “set and forget” – just place them and then leave them, you don’t need to go back in and lay each leg.
This is a big improvement for us and means we really are talking about a top product here.
Basically for the set and forget accas the odds for the acca overall need to be around 2.0 – 2.5 and each leg needs to be around 1.2.
You make more money the more legs that lose – if 3 legs lose you win over £100 and if all 6 lose then over £300! Ok that’s unlikely but still it is very possible that 2 legs can lose and that wins over £30 – completely risk-free.
The good news is that I have just checked the site and there are plenty of these “set and forget” accas available – over 40 at last count.
So Mike has now ironed out one of the key issues we had with the product, which was the time it was taking, so we now think it is a definite big thumbs up.
We will test out the “set and forget” accas of course and include the results in our next update on Accumulator Generator, but all looks good to us.
UPDATE 18TH JANUARY 2016
I have had a go at the “lay all” option but unfortunately it is not quite as good as I at first thought.
I tried a couple of accas, but on one of them only one leg of the acca failed to win, but I still made a loss overall.
I contacted Mike about this and it seems there are only around 3-5 per week of these “set and forget” accas that are worth doing. For the others, you won’t make a profit or will only break even.
So perhaps not quite as good as I first thought in terms of doing all your accumulators like this, but still another option that is there to choose from.
We have had a few enquiries about Accumulator Generatorand so thought we would give a quick update on what we have found so far.
We don’t have any results to report so far, as I have been getting to grips with how it works and also I didn’t have all the bookie accounts needed to take advantage of the offers. However, I can provide my thoughts on the product as a whole.
Summary of Initial Thoughts
So there you have it, our initial thoughts are that Accumulator Generator is another good product from Mike Cruickshank. It certainly works and provides you with a great suite of tools to turn the bookies’ acca offers into risk-free profit.
However, it is a little time-consuming and you have to remember to lay off each leg of the accumulator as it goes along if you want risk-free profit.
Plus there is the risk of accounts being closed or limited, although you can mitigate that risk to some extent with pre-emptive action.
We will provide details of our results in a couple of weeks hopefully now that our reviewer is set up and ready to go, which should give you a bit more of an idea of how much money you can make with this.
In the meantime, drop us a line at info@honestbettingreviews.com if you have any questions.
Accumulator Generatoris the latest product from Mike Cruickshank, the king of exploiting bookies’ bonuses and free bets.
We have been very impressed with Mike’ other products we have reviewed, including Bonus Bagging which we gave an approved ratingto and Profit Maximiser, which we are currently reviewing and have found to be pretty awesome so far.
So the question is whether Accumulator Generator can live up the very high bar Mike has set with his other betting products.
The system – as the name suggests – is about exploiting the accumulator offers that bookies offer.
For example, a number of bookies now offer free bets if you bet on an acca and all the legs come in apart from one. They vary in terms of how many legs you need in the accumulator – some as little as four, some five and some six or more.
But those of you who know Mike’s products will know that when there’s a bookie offer of some kind, there will also be Mike with a way to set it up as a risk-free (or virtually risk-free) opportunity.
So how does he do it here? Well we are commencing a trial to find out.
We are always interested in these angles because as any gambler knows, whilst we all like to win our bets, having a few risk-free opportunities to top up our betting accounts is very welcome.
We will report back soon on our initial findings on this one.
https://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/accumulator-generator-picture.png389859Danhttps://www.honestbettingreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/hbr-logo-new-300x145.pngDan2016-02-28 12:27:222022-01-18 17:19:07Accumulator Generator – Final Review
This is the third Mike Cruickshank product we have reviewed so far here at Honest Betting Reviews after Bonus Bagging and Profit Maximiser and we are pleased to say it is now three for three in terms of approved ratings for his products.
Whilst the aforementioned products are about exploiting the bookies’ free bets and bonuses, Each-Way Sniper is a little different.
As the title suggests, it is about taking advantage of the inherent value you get from the place part of certain each-way bets with the bookies.
Basically you use that inherent value to secure a profit whatever happens by laying on Betfair.
The strategy works very well and you can certainly build a nice bit of profit using Each Way Sniper.
How does it work?
First up you go to the Each Way Sniper software, which is quite an amazing piece of kit. It automatically identifies potential each-way “snipes” where you can guarantee yourself a profit whatever happens.
Here is a look at the software in action:
From the software you can see the best opportunities, the relevant bookie that has the odds for a particular selection and how much you can make from each opportunity.
Then you can click through to the calculator and input the values to work out exactly how much to put on and how much you will make.
Then just place the bets, sit back and you are guaranteed profit, regardless of whether your horse wins or loses! Clever eh?
How much money can you make from Each Way Sniper?
The question of how much money you can make really depends on how much time you put in to it.
This is primarily for people who are able to be at their computer during the afternoon/evening when races are on so that you can access the software and make the selections. If you are able to do that, then you can potentially have a good few “snipes” each day.
How much you make on each snipe depends on your staking. We used £25 each-way stakes for the trial and were making as much as £10 on some snipes, but the average was more like £3-£4 per snipe.
We weren’t able to use the software every day due to time restrictions so you could certainly make more than the £473 we did during the trial – that would very much be the minimum you could expect to make in a 2-3 month period.
Are there any drawbacks to Each Way Sniper?
As mentioned, this is mainly for people who can monitor the software and access their bookmaker accounts whilst racing is on, to find the opportunities and place the bets.
However, you potentially could find opportunities yourself before racing starts, place your bets and be done with it and not need to monitor the software all day. This wouldn’t identify as many bets though so would limit how much you could make.
The other potential drawback is the possibility of having your bookie accounts closed or limited. In order to reduce this possibility, we would recommend not placing bets on races where there is a strong odds-on favourite.
The bookies positively hate such bets and are well aware that these are value opportunities for the punter. Once you have placed a few of them with the same bookie, you will almost certainly be on their radar and it will only be a matter of time before your account is limited.
So our advice would be to avoid these races and go for bets where the favourite is odds-against and so it isn’t such an obvious “arb.” That will keep you off the bookies’ blacklist for much longer. There will still be plenty of bets and it should not limit things much in terms of how much you can make.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Overall we feel Each Way Sniper is a great little product and well worth having as part of your matched betting portfolio.
It isn’t quite as amazing as Profit Maximiser in terms of how much money it can make you, so if you haven’t got that yet we strongly recommend you do.
But Each Way Sniper can certainly make you an extra couple of hundred of quid per month with just a little bit of effort. Most of the hard work is done for you by the software, which is a great piece of kit.
And it is certainly very satisfying taking the “snipes” and making risk-free cash off the bookies.
As long as you are able to access the software during the afternoons/evenings when racing is on and don’t make it obvious to the bookies what you are doing, then this can really add some cash to your bank on a regular basis.
Things have been along steadily for Each-Way Sniper since our last update about six weeks ago. We are now £340 up using £50 stakes, which is pretty good going for a no-risk system.
There are some days without any selections and then some days where you have a few.
Once you get the hang of it then it doesn’t take long to find potential races each day. Then it is just a case of viewing the markets about 20-30 minutes before the off to see if there is a qualifier.
We have just over a month to go in our trial of Each Way Sniper so will be back then with our final thoughts.
We have had an interesting start to our trial of Each Way Sniper from Mike Cruickshank in that we are not quite sure how to rate this product.
On the one hand it does “work” and has made money so far. But on the other hand, we wonder how long it can last and question the amount of time that is needed to produce quite small profits.
Anyway, on with the results update.
This is basically a product that uses the additional place value you get from the bookies in certain races to make a risk-free profit.
These races are typically “top heavy” ones where you have a couple of strong favourites and then a big gap to the rest of the field.
Basically in such races, the place part of an each-way bet can often have better odds than the Betfair place odds, so if you can get instances where the win odds are about the same with a bookie and Betfair, then you can make a profit regardless of the outcome of the race. Clever eh?
Well as with most things that look to put one over on the bookies, they don’t like it.
In fact, it is fair to say that bookies positively hate bets like this and it is one of the surest ways to get your accounts shut down.
So you have to take rather significant mitigating steps to ensure that doesn’t happen – spreading your bets around, not going overboard with your stakes, using “mug bets” and so on.
If you can avoid getting your bookie accounts shut down, then what kind of money can you make from Each-Way Sniper?
As you can see, on a lot of the races you are making just a couple of pounds per selection, which is quite small fry really.
But then others you can make 8 or 9 quid per selection. And in some races you can back the same selection with a number of bookies, meaning you can really clean up.
There are generally just one or two races per day to play in and it does involve manually checking potential qualifying races and then checking the Betfair market and bookie prices around 20-30 mins before the start of the race.
So it does mean quite a bit of work on the part of the punter and you have to be able to access Betfair and your bookie accounts in the afternoon to make this work.
If you can do that, then there is potential to make money with this, although to be honest we think that Profit Maximiser and Profit Accumulator offer better long-term money making opportunities.
We don’t think it’s necessary to run a full three month trial here because the results don’t vary too much and you will have a pretty good idea how much you can make from a few weeks of results.
We will return with some more results and our final thoughts on Each Way Sniper soon.
Today we are commencing a new trial of a betting system calledEach Way Sniper.
This is another product from Mike Cruickshank, who has produced a number of other betting systems, primarily based around exploiting bookie bonuses.
We are currently trialing two other of Mike’s products, Bonus Bagging andProfit Maximiserand are impressed with what we have seen from those so far.
This is a different approach however and is not based on bookie bonuses. It is based around exploiting the value of each-way betting on certain types of races.
On the sales page the system promises to make you £300 to £500 per month risk-free in just 20 minutes per day.
Sounds pretty good, that would certainly come in handy 🙂
Will this live up to the promises made on the sales page though? We will find out during our trial.

It was a good finish to our trial ofBetting Bias– a tipping service run by a group of professional gamblers who bet on a range of sports including golf, horse racing, football, rugby and tennis –with a further 16 points added at advised prices and 17 points at Betfair SP.
That meant over the course of the trial they amassed a whopping 285 points of profit at advised prices and 284 points at Betfair SP.
That came at a return on investment of 82%, which is pretty incredible stuff.
Breaking things down, it is worth noting that the vast majority of that profit came from one selection – Smylie Kaufman winning the Shriners Open at 250/1, which returned 313 points profit all on its own.
Here are the results in graph format:
Haha quite a graph! Looks like one of those charts you see of a company on the stock market that’s just about to be bought out or has discovered some new wonder drug or something else pretty amazing.
In this case the wonder drug was Smylie Kaufman winning the Shriner’s Open!
Of course there may be some of you saying that if they hadn’t had that one winner, they would have actually finished down for the trial.
However, having followed Betting Bias’s tips for a number of years, we have seen that this is the way they do things and they have had a number of 100/1+ winners on golf, so this is certainly not just a one-off.
As you will see from the list of golf winners at the start of the review below, there have been some fantastic golfing successes for them and that list at the bottom is just a summary; there have been plenty of other golf winners and some tasty-priced each-way shots as well.
So we are happy to give Betting Bias a big thumbs up and a five star rating based on their performance both during our review and over the long-term.
After five years of tipping they are 1600 points up at a return on investment of 28%, which is superb going and there aren’t many tipsters out there with such a great record over a sustained period.
And what’s more, the tips are completely FREE – can’t ask for much more than that can you really?
Sport-by-Sport Breakdown
One thing we did think worthy of consideration is the breakdown of how things went for each of the sports they tip in. Here are the results for each sport in table format:
Sport
Number of Bets
Profit/Loss
Golf
63
+252 points
Horse Racing
114
+32 points
Football
96
+6 points
Rugby
3
-3 points
Tennis
1
-1 points
General
1
-1 points
The table breaks down things very much in the way we have experienced things with Betting Bias over the years: the golf is the most impressive and brings in the lion’s share of the profit; the horse racing is good and seems to do better on the all-weather where their sectional timings come into their own; the football tips more or less break even or perhaps make a small profit and the other sports make up just a tiny portion of the bets so are less significant.
So really there could be an argument for just following their golf tips – and perversely actually staking higher amounts on their long-odds selections (66/1+) because those are the ones that have really excelled and brought home the bacon over the years.
My personal view is that the horse racing tips are also worth following, particularly over the all-weather season and we are seeing that at the moment with some very good results.
Of course, you may not want to pick and choose the bets like this and just back everything instead, which would cover all bases and ensure you don’t miss anything.
Anyway, however you choose to the follow the tips, we think Betting Bias is a great service and it’s amazing that everything is provided for free.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: There is a bit of work to do as there are 3 bets per day on average. The only thing they could do to perhaps improve the service is provide the tips by e-mail, as at the moment you have to visit the site every day to get the tips and it is easy to forget as tips are posted at different times of day – which can be a great shame if you happen to miss one of their big winners!
Availability of prices: The prices are generally widely available and we had no problems getting on. The advised prices and Betfair SP results were almost identical, at 285 points and 284 points profit respectively, which is another plus point for the service.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 16% – so some patience is required to follow this service, particularly on the golf tips which can go lengthy periods without a winner due to tipping at high odds (but patience is richly rewarded if you do stick with them).
Advised Betting Bank: A betting bank was not advised but we used a 200 point bank for the trial, which seemed sufficient for the historic strike rate and was very comfortable as it turned out.
Subscription costs: Completely FREE! Can we say that again? FREE! Amazing stuff for a service that has made over 1600 points profit.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
It’s been a very profitable trial forBetting Biasand we are pleased to give this an approved rating. A fantastic winner at 250/1 winner was the highlight of the review period.
They have an incredible knack of picking long-priced winners on the golf in the last few years and we feel that is the real strength of the service.
The horse racing on the all-weather is also good and worth following.
All you need is a bit of patience to wait for the golf winners and a decent-sized bank to cover the losing periods.
As long as you have those two things, you are all set and can strap yourself for some great long-term profits. And did I mention that it is all provided for free?…
They are still 269 points up for the trial at advised prices and 258 points up at Betfair SP, so no real harm done to the great profits made during the trial.
We have around three weeks to go, so even if every bet loses between now and the end of the trial, we would still be well up, so can’t really see anything other than a massive thumbs up here!
Anyway, will be back with our final verdict on Betting Biasin early December.
Last time we updated the results for Betting Bias a month ago we remarked that things had got off to a little bit of a slow start.
We had also remarked in our opening comments when commencing the trial that they have a habit of landing big priced winners on the golf.
Well late on Sunday night they proved true to form.
GolferSmylie Kaufman, a graduate of the Web.com tour (a satellite tour for the main PGA Tour) had been tipped up by Betting Bias for the week’s tournament – the rather long-winded Shriners Hospitals for Children Open – at a massive 250/1.
“Having highlighted Smylie Kaufman as a rookie to watch in 2015/16 he almost blew his cover with a T10 at the Frys.com last week.
“The 23-year-old finished the week T3 for birdies and more of the same is required at TPC Summerlin.
“Kaufman’s strength is driving and putting (ranked fifth for putting average last season) and like Tony Finau last year he can follow up a good showing at the Frys with an even higher finish at the Shriners.
“Back him each-way at 250/1 with Paddy Power and get 1/4 odds for a top-6 finish.”
And guess what happened? Well he only went and won didn’t he!
Holing a great 20 foot putt on the last, a couple of hours before the leaders finished their rounds, Kaufman posted -16 and no-one could catch him as he finished one shot ahead of six players.
That brought in a whopping 313 points profit in one fell swoop for Betting Bias and skyrocketed the results for the trial to +289 points profit at advised prices and 294 at Betfair SP.
Amazing stuff. The only downside was that we didn’t back Kaufman ourselves! Oh well, we hope a few of you did and got to celebrate the win.
As we said at the start of the trial, this is what Betting Bias tend to do – move along slowly for a while then hit a massive winner.
So they have been true to form. Let’s hope they can land a few more winners before the end of the trial – although we don’t expect them to be at 250/1! (but wouldn’t complain if they are)…
It has been a little bit of a slow start to our trial of Betting Bias,who after 3 weeks are 19 points down at advised prices but level (+0 points) at Betfair SP.
It is quite unusual for the Betfair SP to be considerably better than the advised prices, but in this case it was down to two winners.
Firstly, Realtra at Doncaster on 10th September that was advised at 25/1 but won at a Betfair SP of 40. Then on 19th September, Tatlisu was advised at 22/1 and won at a Betfair SP of 27.
There have been some massive priced golf selections during the trial so far, including 500/1 Oliver Farr at the Italian Open. If one of those come in then we are really laughing!
It is not often that you find a really good tipster with an impressive record over a number of years. It is even rarer that you find such a tipster who provides their tips FREE.
Well with the tipping team atBetting Bias,that is exactly what you get.
They tip across a range of sports including horse racing, golf, football, tennis and cricket.
Tips are posted on the website daily so you just have to click on the website each day to see the latest tips – couldn’t be simpler. 🙂
They have amassed an outstanding 1324 points profit at a return on investment of 24% since the service started in December 2010. We have followed their tips for a number of years and can verify the results on their website are accurate.
So that’s about 284 points profit a year on average, or 24 points per month.
Probably their most impressive returns have come on golf, where they have tipped some amazing winners over the years, including:
Keegan Bradley to win the USPGA in 2011 at 150/1
Bubba Watson to win the 2012 Masters (ante-post) at 55/1
Patrick Reed to win the Wyndham Championship in 2013 at 80/1
Kevin Stadler to win the Phoenix Open in 2014 at 125/1
Pablo Larrazabal to win the Abu Dhabi Championship in 2014 at 125/1
Alex Cejka to win the Columbia Championship in 2014 at 66/1
Brian Harman to win the John Deere Classic in 2014 at 100/1
Smylie Kaufman to win the United Leasing Championship in 2015 at 66/1
Roope Kakko to win the Madeira Islands Open in 2015 at 66/1
So some pretty incredible winners as you can see. 2014 was a particularly impressive year.
In fact, in January 2014 alone they made 359 points profit. That’s more than some services make in a year – or perhaps ever make!
They also have a decent record in other sports like football and horse racing, although without the huge-priced winners that you get betting on the golf.
In many ways we would be happy to place this straight in the approved systems list,but for the purposes of comparison with our other services we will run a normal three month trial so we can crunch the numbers and look at availability of prices etc.

Bonus Bagging – Final Review
Most of the products we have reviewed here at Honest Betting Reviews have been tipsters of various descriptions so it makes a nice change to review something a bit different likeBonus Bagging.
The system takes advantage of the free bet offers bookies throw our way to try and lure us into becoming new customers.
Normally you have to wager a certain amount first before the bookies will give you a free bet, meaning if you lose that initial stake and then your free bet, you could be out of pocket.
However, the system author, Mike Cruickshank, has designed a way you can set these bets up so they are risk-free. So these offers do become genuinely free bets.
We have tested the system over the last three months and can confirm it certainly works – essentially it involves using Betfair to lay off the bets that you place with the bookies.
We have made over £500 – in fact £572 to be precise – taking advantage of these free bets over the course of the trial, which is good going considering the bets were completely risk-free.
There would be the possibility of making more than this but then we already have accounts with some of the bookmakers the system uses.
However, there were also some bookmakers we had not heard of before so even if you are an experienced gambler we expect there will be offers for you to take advantage of.
Ongoing Offers
Ultimately you will run out of offers to use, but then Mike e-mails out ongoing bookie offers – i.e. offers where you already have a bookie account rather than for opening a new account
Our experience during the trial was that we made around £200 per month out of these ongoing offers, so we estimate this is what you could make per month on an ongoing basis from the system.
“No-Brainer”
For such a low of price of £27, it is something of a “no-brainer” as they say to purchase this system. As long as you don’t already have accounts with all the bookmakers out there, you will make a profit from using it and you should be able to make a few hundred quid for minimal effort.
And even if you do by chance have accounts with all the bookmakers, you can still take advantage of the ongoing free bet offers that Mike e-mails out.
Plus Mike offers a no-questions-asked 60 day money-back guarantee, so you could always ask for your money back if you decided this wasn’t for you.
Can’t say fairer than that really, so we are happy to give this one a firm thumbs up and place it in the winning systems list.
N.B. Just a small note to say that a number of the offers only apply to people in the UK and Ireland, so if you live elsewhere you may not be able to take advantage of a lot of these offers.
You simply click a button requesting a new bet each time you are ready to take advantage of another offer and Mike will e-mail you exact instructions of both the qualifying bet and the free bet, including which bookmaker to use, how much the offer is for, the bet (e.g. horse race or football match) to place it in and even a link. Simples!
Here is an example:
You click “request bet” and Mike e-mails you saying place a bet of £10 on Hearts to beat Aberdeen at 3.0 with William Hill, then lay for the same amount at Betfair at odds of 3.05.
You then click “claim free bet” and Mike e-mails you saying back Man Utd to beat Man City at 3.5 for £30 free bet, then lay Man Utd at 3.5 on Betfair for £21.43 @ 3.55 (£54.65 to cover)
So on these bets you make £20.36 whatever happens!
This may look a little complicated if you are new to betting, but once you have done it a couple of times it is really easy. Getting the detailed instructions – and even the links to where you place the bets – makes it really simple to use.
What do I need to use this betting system? You would probably want £100 – £200 to start with. We used a bank of £200 for the trial and turned it into a bank of £772
It is a good idea to keep a record of all the new accounts you open, together with login details, the bets you have placed and so on.
Ease of use: Good – as we say, if you are new to betting it may look a little complicated but with Mike to guide you through it, you really can’t go wrong.
Customer Service: Excellent – Mike is always quick to respond to questions and deal with any queries you have.
Subscription costs: The product is available for a one-off fee of £27, which is excellent stuff and great value considering what you are getting.
Overall Verdict: Passed
This is a great little product and to be honest what else can you give it other than a passed verdict when it guarantees you profit?
How much you make will depend on how many bookmakers accounts you already have, but even if you have lots of account we expect there are a few here you won’t have heard of that you can take advantage of.
Plus there are also the ongoing offers which Mike e-mails out, so you should be able to make about £200 per month from those.
If it turns out you do already have all the bookie accounts or this is not for you – which we would say is unlikely – then Mike offers a 60-day guaranteed refund, so buying this product literally is “risk-free!”
We imagine most people should be able to make a few hundred quid at least from this product, and with such detailed instructions from Mike it really is made as simple as it could possibly be.
Sign up, grab your bonuses and then start thinking about how you will spend the money! 🙂
We are commencing a trial today of something a little bit different.
It is a betting system calledBonus Baggingby Mike Cruickshank.
As the name suggests, it involves utilising the many bonuses that bookies and casinos throw the way of the willing punter.
It is a very popular product and Mike has built up quite a large following over the years. We think it’s fair to say Mike is the King of bookie bonuses and has a wealth of experience on the topic.
On thesales page,it makes a bold claim that you can make £500 per month risk free using the system.
Sounds quite nice doesn’t it?
Just thinking what I could do with an extra £500 per month. Maybe join a nice golf club? Buy a new car? Move to a nicer pad?
Anyway, we will test this one out and see if it lives up to the hype and really can deliver £500 per month.
I am not sure how long it will take to review, it is often the case that the essence of a system can reveal itself fairly quickly and it is not necessary to run it for three months in the same way as you need to for a tipster.
It will be a question of how long it takes to test all the different options and how many bonuses there are on offer.
I suppose the advantage of a system like this is that supposedly you are not taking any risk so all we can make is profit. The bigger question will be things like how easy it is to claim the bonuses and whether there are lots of terms and conditions for using them.
We will get our teeth into this in the coming weeks and report back when we have got to grips with it and seen what it can do.

There are people on the forum claiming to have made over £25,000 from being members – amusingly there are various threads corresponding to how much people have made – “the £25k club, “the £10k club,” “the £5k club” and so on where people quote their total winnings and discuss how it has been made etc.
