USA Racing Tipster – Full Review
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.

USA Racing Tipster – Results Update
13th August 2022
It’s been a good month for the USA Racing Tipster, with 9 points profit made at advised prices since our last update.
That means they are now 109 points up for our trial overall at advised prices.
You can view full results here.
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.

A small dip for the American racing expert the USA Racing Tipster recently, with 6 points lost at advised prices since our last update.

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.

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?

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.

USA Racing Tipster – Results Update
1st July 2021
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.
You can view full results here.
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.

USA Racing Tipster – New Review
14th May 2021
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.
