The Golf Insider Review Matthew Walton

April 3, 2015 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews One comment

Created by Matthew Walton, The Golf Insider is a sports betting tipster service that offers golf tips based around the idea of value betting.

What is the product?

The Golf Insider is a golfing tipster service that creator Matthew Walton claims is able to turn pretty substantial profits in a relatively small space of time. This is achieved through betting on value bets as identified by Matthew Walton’s “insider”, an alleged ex bookie. This insider says that golf is the most oft overlooked sport by bookies and as such, the best odds are often available. The Golf Insider on this ex bookies own calculations of odds and when there is a large enough discrepancy, a selections is offered. This is in turn based on a spreadsheet he keeps that analyses statistics and data to show “true odds”. This allows The Golf Insider to offer bets that go as high as 80/1 and 125/1 (and I you believe the testimonials, a double that a The Golf Insider  user made based off selections that resulted in over 10,000/1). Being a golf service you are going to get somewhat sporadic selections although the marketing for the system claims that 272 bets over a 17 week period. Bets themselves are varied and range from Top 20 finishers and tournament winners to 3-Ball bets in the early rounds. Staking carries a high range with The Golf Insider advising stakes that start at £20 and go as high as £200 per bet. The service has an alleged strike rate of 32.35%. Read more

Greyhound Lay Top Form Software Review Horse Racing Rates

April 2, 2015 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews One comment

Created by Kevin of Horse Racing Rates, Greyhound Lay Top Form Software is a piece of software that makes selections of greyhounds to lay against.

What is the product?

Greyhound Lay Top Form Software comes in the form of a piece of downloadable, Windows compatible only, software that identifies lay betting opportunities. As the name suggests Greyhound Lay Top Form Software covers greyhound racing with the software simply requiring the click of a button to scan all UK and Irish race cards for that day (this can be one from 12am UTC). Whilst the details of how selections are made is kept secret, there are some hints involved. Kevin says that in his 10 years making this kind of software he analyses betting systems before automating the process. It is also apparent that Greyhound Lay Top Form Software is based around assigning dogs their own ratings and working out the likelihood of a win. Given the fact that the maximum odds for Greyhound Lay Top Form Software are 4.0, it also seems unlikely that you are laying on rank outsiders who you will struggle to lay.  This kind of thing is rather common for systems from Horse Racing Rates however. At this point it is worth stating the obvious and saying that Greyhound Lay Top Form Software is a lay betting system so an account will be required with a betting exchange with Kevin advising Betfair. In terms of results, there is limited information available however based off this Greyhound Lay Top Form Software has achieved a strike rate of around the 83% mark. Read more

Ante-Post King Review

April 1, 2015 Gambling / Tipsters, General Reviews No comments

Provided by the Tipster Warehouse stable of tipsters, Ante-Post King is a tipster service that provides selections and predictions for future events.

What is the product?

Ante-Post King is a tipster service rather unlike any other in so much as it does not concern itself with day to day selections but instead looks at long term bets such as winners of major tournaments. This understandably means that Ante-Post King will not issue selections every day although you can expect 3-4 per week. The bets that Ante-Post King advises are typically win or place bets with stakes of 1-2 points. According to the Tipster Warehouse proofing this has generated a 30% strike rate. In terms of the selections for Ante-Post King, Tipster Warehouse unfortunately do not go into detail on how they are made. Given the nature of Ante-Post King and the length over which bets can be placed, my inclination is that there is a lot of analysis of statistics and form. Read more

Kevan Minter The Colonel Review

March 30, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by known horse racing personality Kevan Minter, Kevan Minter The Colonel is the latest horse racing tipster service under the Betfan umbrella.

What is the product?

Kevan Minter The Colonel is a horse racing tipster service that provides users with selective tips, all of which are win or each way bets. The selections come from the knowledge and experience of the eponymous Kevan Minter who has a lot of experience in horse racing (claimed to be over 25 years). During this period he has held a number of positions but now operates as an announcer and also providing hospitality and talks for several large UK race tracks including Ascot and Cheltenham. This makes it entirely feasible that as well as drawing on knowledge, Kevan Minter The Colonel also has some insider information, something alluded to when Kevan Minter says that he is in the know. Bets are pretty high stake going as high as 10 points per bet whilst the service has achieved a strike rate of 50% to date. Read more

Weekend Speed Ratings Review Paul Fowlie

March 30, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by Paul Fowlie and provided under the Sportsworld Publishing brand, Weekend Speed Ratings is a tipster service providing selections mostly on the weekends.

What is the product?

Weekend Speed Ratings is a relatively casual tipster service that provides bets for weekend races only. Selections are made on the back of creator Paul Fowlie’s speed ratings (hence the name) however the actual method that he employs isn’t discussed and there are many variations, usually with each tipster having their own variant. Weekend Speed Ratings has produced a strike rate of 47% for January however it is early days and looking at the performance for 2014, this probably shouldn’t be taken as an indicator of future performance. Sportsworld Publishing recommend placing place and win bets with odds that range from evens into double figures. As well as the core service you also get bonus selections in the form of Paul Fowlie’s “on course” tips which are bets that he is placing at a race course. These will usually be between 2 and 4 bets each week. Read more

Rainbow’s End Betting System Review Val Harrison

March 28, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by Val Harrison, Rainbow’s End Betting System is a horse racing betting system that claims to be able to offer low risk bets.

What is the product?

Rainbow’s End Betting System comes in the form of a downloadable guide over the course of which Val Harrison shows the methods that he employs in his betting system. Given his background as a trade you would expect an analytical and mathematical approach to betting and this is what Val Harrison claims that Rainbow’s End Betting System delivers. The system is for self selection for races from across the UK and involves using the odds that bookmakers offer you to your advantage. Whilst I cannot divulge the exact methods used, Rainbow’s End Betting System wouldn’t seem too unfamiliar to bettors with experience in arbitrage and it doesn’t involve bonus bagging (although you can still use the bonuses that bookmakers offer). Because you make your own selections with Rainbow’s End Betting System this allows you to bet based around your schedule however there may not be bets available for all races. A point that isn’t mentioned on the promotional material for Rainbow’s End Betting System is that it is recommended that in order to get the most from it, you will need accounts through up to 15 different bookies. Also included is a spreadsheet that has been designed to allow you calculate what stakes you should be placing. Read more

Big Race Bookie Busters Review Betting Gods

March 27, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Offered under the Betting Gods umbrella of tipsters, Big Race Bookie Busters is a horse racing tipster service from their blogger Tim.

What is the product?

Unlike the majority of tipster services that you will see, Big Race Bookie Busters chooses not to focus on finding day to day targets but instead offers selections for more important races. This includes “one offs” like the Grand National as well as festivals and weekend events with his limited selection process producing around 18-22 selections per month for Big Race Bookie Busters subscribers. Tim’s bets will be both win and each way bets with staking that ranges from 1 point all the way to six. Unfortunately Betting Gods don’t divulge any information on the selection process for Big Race Bookie Busters however having read Tim’s blog it is clear that he is keen on horse racing (it was actually in this blog that the seeds of Big Race Bookie Busters were sown) and this knowledge presumably plays a big part. If you look at the information that he pulls up it also seems reasonable to suggest that there is an aspect of statistical and form analysis (although his is only speculation on my behalf). All of this comes together in a package that has achieved a strike rate of 28.72% which doesn’t sound great but it is worth keeping in mind that Tim is yet to see a losing month with Big Race Bookie Busters.

Betting Opportunity Review Howard Davis-Shaw

March 26, 2015 Betfair, Gambling / Tipsters No comments

Created by Howard Davis-Shaw and his brother and offered under the Betfan umbrella, Betting Opportunity is a horse racing tipster service that specialises in managing risk for bettors.

What is the product?

Betting Opportunity is a horse racing tipster service by Howard Davis-Shaw and his unnamed brother, both allegedly experts in betting. The bets for Betting Opportunity are a mixture of odds from the longest (as high as 28/1) to much much closer calls with bets coming in the form of singles, doubles and each way bets. According to Howard Davis-Shaw’s statistics this would place Betting Opportunity at a strike rate of less than 25% for 2014 which based off 2-3 bets per day, means that you will potentially have whole days without a winning bet, something that Howard Davis-Shaw feels that you can overcome overall by following Betting Opportunity selections as a longer term strategy. Further to this, the selections that come in on longer odds for Betting Opportunity subscribers comes from an informant network with informants allegedly producing these selections only occasionally.
