National Hunt Specialist Review Sports World Publishing

Offered by the Sports World Publishing tipster group, National Hunt Specialist is a relatively new horse racing tipster service that draws heavily on statistics.

What is the product?

National Hunt Specialist is a relatively straight forward tipster service in so much as it ticks all the usual boxes. It is an email based service with bets typically sent out on the day before 10am. Selections are for national hunt races (as the name National Hunt Specialist implies) with week days typically yielding up to 3 selections and Saturdays potentially providing as many as 5. All the selections that Sports World Publishing provide through National Hunt Specialist are based purely round analysis of statistics, however Sports World Publishing claim that the statistics that National Hunt Specialist uses are somehow the best set of statistics available. Given the nature of this claim I was disappointed to find out that this is never explored any further outside of a comment about the “fact” that it has taken National Hunt Specialist years to gain access to this information. Staking for National Hunt Specialist is a level staking system of 2 points which are placed on either 2 point win bets or 1 point win, 1 point each way (typically the latter). Occasionally there may be a bet where you are staking only on each way however I believe there is just one example of this to date. Unfortunately Sports World Publishing have not released a strike rate for National Hunt Specialist however a look at the data does show that the longest losing streak for the service is recorded at 9 races.

Carl’s Winning Tips Review Carl Hepworth

Created by Carl Hepworth, Carl’s Winning Tips is a horse racing tipster service that offers independent selections directly to your email.

What is the product?

Carl’s Winning Tips is a horse racing tipster service that offers its users daily selections for horse races across the UK. Carl Hepworth says that he will typically submit 2-3 selections to subscribers. Selections will also carry details of staking which will be 1 or 2 points to BSP (averaged at 4.1 to date). Since May 2013 Carl’s Winning Tips has encountered an average strike rate of 34.73%. The selection process for Carl’s Winning Tips is kept very much under wraps which is disappointing with the closest to an explanation being that old staple that having tried a number of different approaches and systems bought off other tipsters, Carl Hepworth decided to make his own. The result was Carl’s Winning Tips. On top of this Carl Hepworth claims to have over 12 years of betting experience. Read more

Gratips Review Theo Kournis

Created by Theo Kournis, Gratips is a website that offers a number of different sports betting and horse racing based tipping services.

What is the product?

Gratips offers two things to users. The first is a number of different tipster services but for the purposes of this review, we will be looking at the general Gratips tips that are made available. The way Theo Kournis handles this is actually very interesting, especially when compared to most standard tipster service. They are sold in bundles of 100 tips with the selections coming from the various tipsters that Gratips employs. Based off what information that is available it appears that Gratips has achieved a strike rate of 43%. It is difficult to discern the selection method for Gratips because they come from so many different sources. On the plus side this does bring a few advantages. For example the number of sports that Gratips covers is substantially more varied than a typical tipster service which focuses on just the one sport. Read more

Created by Paul Thistlewood, Odds on Ron 2 is a piece of betting software that is the electronic equivalent of the original Odds on Ron betting system.

What is the product?

Paul Thistlewood released iteration one of Odds on Ron a few years ago and since then the system has gone on to receive generally favourable reviews. Now the system has been programmed into Odds on Ron 2, a piece of software that simplifies the process of picking selections massively as the programme does most of the work for you. The original system involved backing horses based around a specific bookmakers odds on certain races. Odds on Ron 2 has automated this process so that selections are generated for you making Odds on Ron 2 a much more user friendly option than following the original PDF. Whilst there are unfortunately no published results, one of the testimonials for Odds on Ron 2 claims that the software was picking bets with a 70% win rate. Read more

The Golf Banker Review

Created by Steve, Golf Banker is a long standing golf tipster service. The tips offered cover all major tournaments as well as bonus head to head picks.

What is the product?

Golf Banker is an email based golf tipping service. The selections are based on creator Steve’s knowledge of the game which should be rather extensive as he claims to have been an avid fan of golf for the last 9 years and that he has undertaken extensive analysis of the game during this period. Golf Banker has been operational for 8 years now (since 2006) and according to the results on the sales page, it has produced a solid profit every year. Read more

The Network Review Matt Houghton

Created by Matt Houghton and backed up by his team of tipsters, The Network is a sports betting tipster service that primarily provides selections for football games.

What is the product?

The Network is a tipster service that is both email and SMS based, advising selections for football bets across the world. Created by Matt Houghton, the system is backed by a team of specialists. These are Richie Forbes, Jake Eaton, Jim McDonald and ‘The Matador’. Each brings something to The Network varying from statistical analysis to a firm understanding of Scottish football and an export in European football. Matt Houghton himself also provides selections with his emphasis being on form. The selections obviously draw heavily on this combination of experience. This is further evidenced when Matt Houghton discusses how many tipsters try to cover too many angles and end up losing their core service. Unfortunately it is hard to compare The Network to other services as there is no proofing provided for previous results. Read more

Doubling for Dummies Review Francis Kingsley-Meyer

Created by Francis Kingsley-Meyer, Doubling for Dummies is an investment guide for sports betting that will allegedly allow you to double your investment each time.

What is the product?

Doubling for Dummies is a guide to investment authored by Francis Kingsley-Meyer, an alleged winner of the ECF Merit for Modern Day Economics and Online Wealth Award (more on this later). It comes as a downloadable PDF and features insight from a host of statisticians, professional gamblers and self made millionaires. Given the fact that Doubling for Dummies deals mainly with sports betting one of these options seems rather out of place. Francis Kingsley-Meyer says that Doubling for Dummies will show you how to successfully bet on a number of sports from football to tennis and even volleyball and basketball. Doubling for Dummies appears to utilise trading although from the claims made about contributors, one would also anticipate a wealth of experience going into Doubling for Dummies as well. Read more

Bookie’s Enemy No. 1 Review Gary Poole

Created by Gary Poole, Bookie’s Enemy No. 1 is a horse racing tipster service that provides near daily selections straight to your inbox.

What is the product?

Bookie’s Enemy No. 1 is a tipster service that provides selections for horse racing up and down the UK. All bets provided are for turf and all weather flat racing with the selection process being down to the vigilance of creator Gary Poole. He claims that when making selections for Bookie’s Enemy No. 1 he will watch hundreds of reruns of a race with a view to identifying a horse that lost due to bad luck or an unfortunate circumstance. From here he will then refer to his notes about race conditions and if a bet represents value. Bookie’s Enemy No. 1 has been operational for free on Twitter for some time now but Gary Poole feels that it is the right time to go live as a paid service. All selections are sent out the night before the race and come with staking advice as well as whether to bet on a straight win or each way. Read more

Daily Winning Club Review Robbie Jennings

Created by Robbie Jennings, Daily Winning Club is an independent horse racing tipster that is a relatively new service having been operational since 2013.

What is the product?

Daily Winning Club is a horse racing tipster service that typically sends out selections to subscribers most days. On the occasions where Daily Winning Club doesn’t have a bet, Robbie Jennings will notify users via email. Selections are rather varied in quantity and quality with anywhere from 18 bets a month to 74 and strike rates that are as low as 20.7% and go all the way up to 45.7%. Bets for Daily Winning Club are win bets and are advised to BSP with recorded results going back to January of this year (although Robbie Jennings says he has been using the system successfully for longer than this). Interestingly, the system behind selections for Daily Winning Club is rather frustratingly never explored. Whilst this isn’t typically a must have, you are at least dealing with something rather than the nothing that Daily Winning Club offers. Read more
