<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Betting Mastermind 2.0 is the most powerful betting system I&#8217;ve ever released. I first launched Betting Mastermind back in 2016. It was a huge success. Now I&#8217;ve made it even better for this year.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">I&#8217;ve taken all the best bits from the original system. Then I threw out anything that wasn&#8217;t making serious money. And I&#8217;ve added 5 brand new systems that are absolutely crushing it this year.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">This isn&#8217;t about gambling or hoping to get lucky. This is about using proven systems that find profitable bets like clockwork.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Inside Betting Mastermind 2.0 you get 15 different betting systems all working together. Each one is powerful on its own. But when you combine them all together that&#8217;s when the magic happens.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">You don&#8217;t need any betting experience. The software does all the heavy lifting for you. It finds every profitable bet automatically. And it tells you exactly what bets to place right down to the penny.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">All you do is log in. Look at what the software tells you to bet on. And place those exact bets. That&#8217;s it. No guessing. No stress. The profits start rolling in.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Imagine opening your laptop each morning. Spending 20 minutes placing bets. And watching your betting bank grow day after day. That&#8217;s exactly what Betting Mastermind 2.0 does.</p>
<h2>5 New Powerful Systems Added</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve added 5 new systems to Betting Mastermind 2.0. These are absolute game changers.</p>
<p>First up is the Price Boost Software. This finds enhanced odds and price boosts from all the bookies. It shows them all in one place ranked by profit. The highest value boosts show at the top. No more searching through forums or missing out on value. The software updates constantly so you never miss a profitable boost.</p>
<p>Next is the Each Way Sniper Advanced Algorithm. This is massive. It creates its own fair value Exchange odds to compare against bookmaker prices. You don&#8217;t have to wait for real Exchange markets to form anymore. While other bettors are waiting for Exchange markets to settle you&#8217;re already locking in profits. Our tests showed a whopping 19.3% ROI from 12000 bets.</p>
<p>The third new system is the Lucky 15 Maximiser. This takes your edge over the bookies and explodes it. When you find bets with value why place them as singles? Bundle four of them together in a Lucky 15 and watch your advantage multiply. Your edge doesn&#8217;t just add up it compounds.</p>
<p>Fourth is the 20 Minute System. This is for golf betting and it absolutely crushed it in testing. It achieved a mind blowing 54% ROI in independent testing. That&#8217;s not a typo. While others gamble you&#8217;re using mathematics to bank consistent profits.</p>
<p>And fifth is the 20 Minute System Advanced Algorithm. Just like the Each Way Sniper algorithm this creates fair odds for golf markets before they properly form. This gave us an extra 320 betting opportunities in testing with a massive 35.1% ROI.</p>
<p>These five new systems have taken Betting Mastermind to a whole new level. My members are making more money than ever before.</p>
<p><a href="https://projectprosperity.co.uk/mm/2.0/">Click Here To Unlock All 5 New Systems Now</a>.</p>
<h2>How The Project Prosperity Training Works</h2>
<p>Project Prosperity is the secret sauce of Betting Mastermind 2.0. It shows you exactly how to turn a small starting bank into £20000. Then how to withdraw a monthly profit after that.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the problem with most betting systems. They give you loads of strategies but no roadmap.</p>
<p>Project Prosperity solves that problem completely. It shows you exactly which systems to use based on your current bank size.</p>
<p>You start with simple matched betting to build your bank safely. These are the easiest profits you&#8217;ll ever make. No gambling. No risk. Just follow what the software tells you.</p>
<p>Then as your bank grows you move up to finding value bets. This is where the serious money starts. You&#8217;re finding bets where the bookies odds are too high. The software spots all of these opportunities for you.</p>
<p>And when your bank gets bigger you can start using the advanced strategies. That&#8217;s when your profits can really explode.</p>
<p>If bookies start restricting your accounts no problem. Project Prosperity shows you how to move onto pure Exchange betting. No bookmaker accounts needed. Just pure profit potential.</p>
<p>The beauty of Project Prosperity is you&#8217;re always focusing on the strategies that make you the most money with the least effort. You don&#8217;t need to learn all 15 systems at once. Just follow the roadmap and your betting bank will grow step by step.</p>
<p>This is exactly how hundreds of my members have built life changing betting banks. Now it&#8217;s your turn.</p>
<p><a href="https://projectprosperity.co.uk/mm/2.0/">Click Here To See The Complete System Now</a>.</p>
<h2>Start With Match Betting Then Move To Value Betting</h2>
<p>The road to serious profits has a clear path with Betting Mastermind 2.0. You&#8217;ll see exactly when to use each system for maximum results.</p>
<p>Match betting is where everyone begins. It&#8217;s risk free money. The software finds every offer automatically. It calculates all your stakes down to the penny. You&#8217;re basically turning bookmaker bonuses into cold hard cash.</p>
<p>This builds your bank safely. No gambling. No hoping for luck. Just guaranteed profits. It&#8217;s the perfect way to grow your starting bank no matter how small.</p>
<p>Once your bank hits a certain size you level up to value betting. This is a whole different ball game. Now you&#8217;re finding bets where the bookies odds are simply too high.</p>
<p>The software spots these mistakes instantly. Each Way Sniper finds horse racing value. The 20 Minute System finds golf value. Price Boost software spots boosted odds with real value. You&#8217;re now making bigger profits from each bet.</p>
<p>Then comes the really powerful stuff. Advanced algorithms that find value hours before other bettors. The Lucky 15 Maximiser that compounds your edge to astronomical levels. Exchange systems that need no bookmaker accounts at all.</p>
<p>Every step of the way the software tells you exactly what to do. No complex maths needed. No betting experience required. Just follow what it says and watch your bank grow.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the beauty of Betting Mastermind 2.0. It grows with you. From beginner to professional you always know exactly what to focus on next.</p>
<h2>Advanced Algorithms That Find Value Others Miss</h2>
<p>The real secret weapon inside Betting Mastermind 2.0 is the breakthrough algorithms. They give you a massive edge over other bettors.</p>
<p>Think about what happens when bookies first release their odds. The Exchange markets aren&#8217;t formed yet. Most bettors have to sit and wait for hours until they can spot value.</p>
<p>But you won&#8217;t be waiting around. The advanced algorithms create their own fair value Exchange odds instantly. They compare these against bookmaker prices. Then they show you all the value selections right away.</p>
<p>This is like betting from the future. You&#8217;re seeing value that others won&#8217;t spot for hours. Sometimes they never spot it at all.</p>
<p>Our Each Way Sniper algorithm found an extra 500 profitable bets every month in testing. Bets the standard software never spotted. And it delivered a 19.3% ROI.</p>
<p>The Golf algorithm is even more powerful. It found 320 extra betting opportunities with a mind blowing 35.1% ROI.</p>
<p>Imagine being first to these opportunities. While everyone else is twiddling their thumbs waiting for Exchange markets to form you&#8217;re already locking in the best odds.</p>
<p>By the time other bettors finally jump in the best opportunities are gone. You&#8217;ve already grabbed them all.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t random betting. This is systematic value extraction using cutting edge technology. The kind of edge professional bettors would kill for.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s all working for you automatically inside Betting Mastermind 2.0.</p>
<h2>No Experience Needed The Software Does Everything</h2>
<p>Worried you don&#8217;t have enough betting knowledge? That&#8217;s the beauty of Betting Mastermind 2.0. The software handles everything for you.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to understand odds. You don&#8217;t need to know about horse racing or football. And you don&#8217;t even need to have placed a bet before.</p>
<p>The software finds every profitable opportunity automatically. It runs all the calculations instantly. And it tells you exactly what bets to place down to the penny.</p>
<p>Take Each Way Sniper for example. It scans hundreds of races in seconds. It compares every bookmaker price against the betting exchanges. Then it shows you exactly where the value is hiding. The highest value bets float right to the top.</p>
<p>The Price Boost software works the same way. It scans every major bookmaker. Finds all their enhanced odds and price boosts. And displays them in one place ranked by profit. One click and you&#8217;re right where you need to be on the bookmaker&#8217;s site.</p>
<p>Even the notification system is designed to make things dead simple. It watches all 15 systems for you. When a profitable bet pops up it alerts you instantly. No more wasting hours checking different websites.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like having a professional betting expert watching the markets 24/7. Finding only the most profitable bets. And handing them to you on a silver platter.</p>
<p>All you do is follow what it says. No guessing. No complex calculations. Just follow the simple instructions and watch your bank grow.</p>
<p>Click the link below to see everything that&#8217;s included. This could be the most important betting decision you ever make.</p>
<h2>Why This Is Different From Standard Matched Betting</h2>
<p>Standard matched betting barely scratches the surface of what&#8217;s possible. It&#8217;s like trying to build a house with just a hammer.</p>
<p>Betting Mastermind 2.0 is the complete toolkit. Standard matched betting only focuses on welcome offers and basic reloads. But there&#8217;s so much more profit waiting to be unlocked.</p>
<p>Most matched bettors miss out on 90% of the profits. They don&#8217;t know about each way value. They miss price boosts. And they ignore extra places in golf. And they never graduate to pure value betting.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s exactly why I created Betting Mastermind 2.0. It gives you every profit making tool you&#8217;ll ever need. All integrated perfectly. All designed to maximise your returns.</p>
<p>One day it might be a red hot price boost that&#8217;s literally giving away free money. The next day you&#8217;re turning value bets into supercharged Lucky 15s. The following day you&#8217;re tapping into those rare high value casino bonuses.</p>
<p>The notification system watches everything for you. When it spots something good you get an instant alert. No more refreshing odds software all day. No more missing profitable bets.</p>
<p>And best of all you don&#8217;t need dozens of different subscriptions. Everything is under one roof. One login. One simple system that evolves as your betting bank grows.</p>
<p>When you have access to ALL the most profitable opportunities your betting bank doesn&#8217;t just grow. It snowballs. That&#8217;s what makes Betting Mastermind 2.0 completely different.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Quentin Franks Racing Review</strong></h1>
<p>Beating the bookies on horse races is notoriously difficult to do. After all, this is one of their strongest sports. Finding a bit of <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/value-betting/">extra value</a> in their odds is really tough. Yet, people will keep on trying to outsmart them.</p>
<p>One of the most popular approaches is to use tipsters. In this way, you just follow their advice on which horses to choose. The quality and reliability of <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/horse-racing-tipsters/">horse tipsters</a> varies hugely, though.</p>
<p>This Quentin Franks Racing review looks at one of the top tipsters around. Can they help you to earn money on races? Or will the bookmakers still come out ahead? Let’s see what this service offers and whether you should try it.</p>
<h2><strong>What Is Quentin Franks Racing?</strong></h2>
<p>You will find this tipster on the <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betting-gods-review/">Betting Gods site</a>. This is one of the best tipster sites. They gather together a lot of the most <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-paid-tipsters/">popular tipster services</a>. So the fact that he is on here is a good sign right away.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-28497" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-review-1024x257.png" alt="Quentin Franks Racing review" width="1024" height="257" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-review-1024x257.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-review-300x75.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-review-768x193.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-review.png 1408w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>He has been on there since July 2014. In that time, he has become one of the industry’s top names. This is due to the consistent success he has seen.</p>
<p>Enter the Betting Gods website and you will see he is one of their main men. We will look at the exact figures for profits in a minute. For the moment, it is worth mentioning a £15,293.40 total profit to date.</p>
<p>At the time of this Quentin Franks Racing review, his ROI is close to 18%. The monthly profit is £209.50. These are all excellent figures for any tipster to have.</p>
<p>So, he has decent profit levels over a period of time. What else can we find out about him?</p>
<h2><strong>What Does It Provide?</strong></h2>
<p>This is a tipster who focuses solely on horse racing. In fact, he looks at British, Irish and French races. You can expect an average of 88 tips each month. These tips are sent out by email on the morning of the races. If he doesn’t have anything for a certain day, he will usually let you know the previous evening.</p>
<p>Tips come through between 8.30 and 9.30 in the morning, from Monday to Sunday. As well as by email, you can see them on the site’s member’s area and mobile app. There should be no problems in getting hold of his tips.</p>
<p>The average adds Quentin Franks Racing uses are 7.15. So, he isn’t just backing favourites at short odds all the time. Some tipsters do this to boost their numbers. Expect a mixture of different odds from Quentin Franks. He doesn’t just concentrate on one type of bet all the time.</p>
<p>The odds that he mentions will always be available with at least 3 bookies. He tends to use Bet365, Betfred, BetVictor, Black Type and William Hill.</p>
<p>The stakes that are used are £10 per point. He suggests that you kick off things with a 200 points bank. As with any tipster, there is a risk of losing your money.</p>
<h2><strong>Who Is Behind It?</strong></h2>
<p>The Betting Gods site has a picture of (presumably) Quentin. He wasn’t well-known in the industry until the last few years. Since then, he has become a popular figure in the industry.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28498 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing.jpg" alt="Quentin Franks Racing" width="400" height="400" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing.jpg 400w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-300x300.jpg 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-150x150.jpg 150w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-256x256.jpg 256w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>He has a good reputation for being likeable and approachable. If you join the service, you can expect to be informed and treated well. But what could I find out about him for this Quentin Franks Racing review?</p>
<p>Well, he has an active Twitter account. He doesn’t tweet every day, but does so fairly regularly. The account has over 1,000 followers. He tweets about horses and a variety of other things too.</p>
<p>He has also <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/blog/">written a series of articles</a> for Betting Gods. His Horses to Follow in 2020 pieces are fairly short but interesting.</p>
<p>Quentin is also behind the QF Value Tips service. This is an evening tips service he started in February 2016. This has also had terrific success. Over £5,600 profit and more than 19% ROI in that time.</p>
<p>I couldn’t find out any more about the tipster’s background. Is he from a horse racing background? Or maybe he had a career with the bookies? Does he work out his tips using a mathematical formula? Or does he have inside knowledge?</p>
<p>I don’t even know if this is his real name. For many people, this won’t be a problem. They just want to see winning tips. But for others, it is important to know more about the tipster.</p>
<h2><strong>H</strong><strong>ow Much Does It Cost?</strong></h2>
<p>If you want to try this service, you will need to sign up at Betting Gods. He does mention some <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-free-twitter-tipsters-to-follow/">fancied horses on Twitter</a>. But you won’t want to hang around waiting for this.</p>
<p>You can sign up easily and quickly on Betting Gods. It costs £1.99 for the first 15 days. After that, the cost works out as £47 per month. You can cancel at any time. There is also a 30-day money back guarantee on this site.</p>
<p>This isn’t exactly a <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/olbg-review-will-the-tipsters-make-you-any-money/">cheap tipster service</a>. You can get others that cost less. Some even give out daily free tips. But the cost is the reflection of his strong track record. The more you pay for a tipster, the better you can expect them to be.</p>
<p>His QF Value Tips service starts off at £1.99 for 15 days too. After that, it is £17 per month. It seems to be cheaper because it provides fewer tips. 36 per month compared to 88 on the main service.</p>
<p>As we have seen, his average profits are over £200 each month. So, there appears to be scope to come out ahead. But before we can say this for certain, we need to take a closer look. Will you make money based on what we can see?</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Make Money?</strong></h2>
<p>There is no doubt that Quentin Franks has made money in the past. He has a good, solid record of wins. This is no guarantee of the future, of course. But tipsters with great records are worth looking closely at. Quentin seems to have found ways of winning regularly over a long time.</p>
<p>A closer look shows that Betting Gods carried out proofing on him. This was done over 18 weeks in 2014, before he went public. Since then, his record has been excellent. His starting bank of 200 points has grown by 764.67%.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28499 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-results-1024x388.png" alt="Quentin Franks Racing results" width="1024" height="388" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-results-1024x388.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-results-300x114.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-results-768x291.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-results-1536x582.png 1536w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Quentin-Franks-Racing-results-2048x776.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>Out of the 73 months he has run, most have seen a profit. At the time of this Quentin Franks Racing review, 56 months have been profitable. This means that he had ended 76.71% of months in profit. His win rate is just over 23%, which is excellent.</p>
<p>Obviously if you want similar results, you would need to get the same odds.</p>
<p>There are few tipsters with this sort of profits record. It is why he is so well-respected in the industry. Getting that kind of track record is very difficult. Maintaining it over years is even more difficult to do.</p>
<p>If you look at the evolution of his profits, it has been fairly steady. His <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/bankroll-management/">bank has only had a few minor bumps</a> along the way. There appear to have been no really serious <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/losing-streaks/">losing streaks</a>. However, it is clear that there have been losses. No tipster can avoid this.</p>
<p>This isn’t all good news, though. It looks as though the bookies have rumbled him. When he releases his tips, the odds are cut quickly. You need to be fast if you want to get a decent price.</p>
<p>This is one of the big problems with all tipsters. It is incredibly difficult for them to keep on beating the bookies. Of course, his figures show the odds that he found. But unless you are swift off the mark, you won’t get the same odds.</p>
<p>This is the big problem here. If you get the right odds, you will make money. But there is a good chance that you don’t get the right odds. The odds quoted aren’t obtained using BOG bookies. So if you can get prices like this, it is going to help you.</p>
<h2><strong>How Many Bookies and How Many Sports / Markets Are Included?</strong></h2>
<p>As far as I can see, you can use any bookie with these bets. However, as mentioned earlier, the site does point out a few bookies Quentin typically uses. These are Bet365, Betfred, BetVictor, Black Type and William Hill.</p>
<p>The service’s details point out that the price quoted is always available. It can be found with at least 3 bookies. But this is when the tips are released. The odds soon drop after this.</p>
<p>We have seen that the biggest challenge is in finding the best odds. You need to <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/top-5-odds-comparison-sites/">be prepared to look around</a>. This adds a degree of effort to something that would otherwise be simple. Unless you are really fast, you might need to hunt around a bit.</p>
<p>He only ever gives tips on horse racing. It seems to mainly be races in the UK. But you will see Irish and French tips too.</p>
<h2><strong>What Are Other People Saying About It?</strong></h2>
<p>The high profile of this service means that there are lots of online reviews. I chose a few Quentin Franks Racing reviews to go through. The overall feeling is that it is highly thought of. No one seems to suggest that it is a scam or otherwise untrustworthy.</p>
<p>The results seem to tie in with the Betting Gods’ figures. Quentin Franks Racing reviewers all come up with similar results. They speak of regular, consistent profits. Naturally, the ROI varies. It really comes down to the months that are covered in the trial.</p>
<p>I see ROI ranging from about 20% to 50%. The average ROI in the Quentin Franks Racing reviews seems to be about 25%. This ties in fairly closely with the 17.93% ROI given in his official figures.</p>
<p>All of this points to a remarkable degree of consistency. There is very little of the poor spells most tipsters suffer from. This is even more impressive considering that he often gives fairly long-odds tips.</p>
<p>Of course, we need to look at the issue of getting the right odds. Some reviews mention that using BOG bookies helps a lot in this respect. This is his biggest issue right now. In some ways, Quentin has been a victim of his own success.</p>
<p>In terms of individual user reviews, the results are generally very positive too. Most people seem to have a very high opinion of the service. I did see a few complaints. You can’t keep everyone happy, after all.</p>
<p>These negative reviews tend to mention <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/dealing-with-losing-runs/">losing streaks</a>. A couple say that they <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/bankroll-management/">went bust and had to increase their bank</a>. This doesn’t tie in with what we have seen elsewhere in this Quentin Franks Racing review. Perhaps they were really unlucky with their timing when they started out.</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Get Gubbed Using Quentin Franks Racing?</strong></h2>
<p>Normally, using a tipster won’t get you <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/gubbing/">gubbed</a>. This is because you will lose a lot of bets. The bookies will only take an interest in you if you win consistently. It is very difficult to do this using tips</p>
<p>Yet, the high win rate we have seen in this Quentin Franks Racing review may be an issue. Sure, he loses bets too. But the win rate is very good. It is going to look worse if you win regularly with the same bookies.</p>
<p>The bookmakers clearly have seen what this tipster does. They seem to alter their prices as soon as his tips come out. It’s not out of the question that they target those who win with his tips. However, I can’t see any evidence that this is the case so far.</p>
<p>On balance, it seems unlikely you get gubbed. I can’t say I have seen anyone say that this has happened to them. You will want to be careful about it. But it shouldn’t be a major concern.</p>
<h2><strong>Advantages of Quentin Franks Racing</strong></h2>
<p>In this Quentin Franks Racing review, we have discovered some strong areas. These are the things that make it stand out from the crowded market. The following are some reasons for considering using the service.</p>
<ul>
<li>It has an excellent track record in wins. The win rate is higher than normal for tipsters.</li>
<li>Has achieved consistent profits over a long period. It isn’t a flash in the pan success by any means.</li>
<li>Fairly large number of tips provided each month. There are enough tips to keep you busy. They are sent out each morning, so easy to get into a routine.</li>
<li>Decent odds are used. Quentin doesn’t bump up his record with strong favourites. There is a good mixture of bets at different odds.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Disadvantages of Quentin Franks Racing</strong></h2>
<p>It’s not all perfect, though. There are also some negative points to bear in mind. Here are some of the disadvantages that you know about.</p>
<ul>
<li>The odds tend to shorten very quickly, so difficult to get the recommended odds. This could have a big effect on your profits.</li>
<li>The service is quite expensive. You need to win a lot each month just to pay for it.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Who Might It Suit?</strong></h2>
<p>There are a lot of people looking for a good tipster. They each look for different things. Some people want easy profits. Others want as little risk as possible. Then there are people who want excitement and the chance for huge wins.</p>
<p>For many of them, this service will probably tick a lot of boxes. It gives fairly consistent profits. So the risk of losing money is reduced, but not completely removed. This makes it suitable for a lot of people, but not everyone.</p>
<p>When you get started, it easy to use. You don’t need to be a betting expert to place these bets. Just wait for the day’s tips to arrive. Then place them at the best price you can get.</p>
<p>The only tricky part can be in finding good value prices. This is where a bit of experience in looking at bookie prices can be useful. You need to be fast too. The quicker you are, the more chance you have of getting worthwhile odds.</p>
<p>Who won’t it suit? We have seen during this Quentin Franks Racing review that wins aren’t guaranteed. A couple of users have even said that they went bust. This seems to be a rare occurrence. But there is no denying that you will lose a lot of bets over time.</p>
<p>Therefore, it won’t suit you if you want constant profits with no risk. No tipster can promise you this. You need a system like matched betting to remove all of the risk from betting. With any tipster, the risk is always going to be there. You need to be comfortable with this thought.</p>
<h2><strong>Quentin Franks Racing Review: Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>During this Quentin Franks Racing review, we have seen why it is so highly respected. This is one of the best horse racing tips service around. Quentin has been producing great profits for a number of years now.</p>
<p>That doesn’t mean that it is right for everyone. We don’t all want to bet on tips. But if you are looking for a reliable tipster, this is one of the first names to consider.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Who Are the Best Golf Betting Tipsters?</strong></h1>
<p>Golf is a great sport for playing and watching. But can it also be a good choice for betting on? With so many players capable of winning each tournament, it isn’t the easiest sport to bet on. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible, though. Finding the best golf tipsters could help you to win more often.</p>
<p>Which sites should you be looking at? The truth is that there are some excellent choices right now.</p>
<p>We will look at some of the top names in a moment. First of all, here are some of the main things to bear in mind when betting on golf.</p>
<h2><strong>Why Bet on Golf?</strong></h2>
<p>There are plenty of reasons for betting on golf. Maybe you just love the sport. Or perhaps you feel that you have good knowledge of the players. It can add excitement when you watch a tournament.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-27073 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1-1024x351.jpg" alt="golf betting system" width="1024" height="351" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1-1024x351.jpg 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1-300x103.jpg 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1-768x263.jpg 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/golf-betting-system1.jpg 1400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>What about the chance of making a profit? Well, there are often players at big odds. And it certainly isn’t unknown for an outsider to win a tournament. If you get it right, you could win a lot of money.</p>
<p>It isn’t as competitive a market as <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betfair-football-strategies/">football betting</a>. So you have fewer options to choose from. But some of them regularly return good profits.</p>
<p>Each way betting makes sense in golf. After all, it is incredibly tough to predict the outright winner. It becomes a bit easier when you choose someone to finish in a place.</p>
<h2><strong>Why Choose a Golf Betting Tipster?</strong></h2>
<p>Betting on golf is easy to do but difficult to get right. In a tournament like the British Open, over 150 players take part. Among them are the world’s best players, any one of who is capable of winning.</p>
<p>You can probably also remember some famous victories by outsiders. It isn’t as easy as, say, football. There are far more possible winners to take into account. You might also find special bets. These include one player vs another. Or a selection of players vs the field. These are good ways to increase the chance of winning. The odds won’t be as good as on a straight winner, though.</p>
<p>Of course, an expert will know who the course suits. They will know who is in form and who is struggling. They will also take into account the players’ records at this course and tournament. All of this information lets them make an informed choice.</p>
<p>Many tipsters will <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/value-betting/">look for value</a> on this basis. Is a certain golfer over-priced? Have the bookies judged the market well enough. Bookmakers have to put odds on many different players. So they won’t always get it right either. They might neglect to take something important into account.</p>
<p>A good tipster can’t guarantee profits. They can only point to their track record as a sign of their expertise. Expect them to lose a lot of bets too. The main thing is that there is a clear pattern of profits there.</p>
<p>In this respect, it is like any type of sports betting. The more you know the better your chances of winning. But you can never be 100% certain that your pick will win. So let’s take a look at few of the best options when it comes to golf tipsters.</p>
<h2><strong>Mike Cruickshank Golf Betting System</strong></h2>
<p>This isn’t the best golf tipsters site in the conventional sense. Rather, it gives you a way of generating value bets that give you an edge. How does this work? It is very similar to <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/each-way-sniper-advantage-play/">each way arbitrage</a> on sports like football or horses. It looks to exploit a loophole with bookie prices on each way betting.</p>
<p>Basically, you are looking for value each way bets. They need to offer more for the place than the odds for that player winning suggest. <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/golf-betting-system/">This guide covers how it works</a> in more detail.</p>
<p>So, your bet will pay out if they win the whole thing. But it will also pay if they finish in one of the other top places. You only lose if they finish further down the leader board. As mentioned earlier, this makes sense in golf betting.</p>
<p>You are giving yourself a far better chance of winning something. Remember that predicting the outright winner is incredibly difficult in golf. With this approach, you will earn more for doing this. But you will also cover yourself with the each way aspect.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, it is a tactic that only works when the odds stack up. This is why you need an excellent strategy. The <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/golf-betting-system/">golf betting system</a> proposed here takes you through things step by step. You then use a simple each way calculator to work out if a bet is worth it.</p>
<p>Depending upon the numbers, you might want to lay off the bet. But it can also be done without a lay bet if you prefer. It is a good choice if you want to lower the risk of betting. With so many entrants in major tournaments, it helps you to narrow the field considerably.</p>
<p>You don’t need to be a golf expert to use this method. Just learn how to understand the numbers and you will place smarter bets. It is a lot easier than trying to do it manually.</p>
<h2><strong>The Golf Insider</strong></h2>
<p>This is one of the best golf betting tipsters. It is run by a golf expert who has been giving tips on the sport for several years. The latest reviews suggest that he has earned a profit of over 700 points since 2014. An ROI% of over 28% in this period is certainly impressive.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28490 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Golf-Insider-tipster-1024x362.png" alt="Golf Insider tipster" width="1024" height="362" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Golf-Insider-tipster-1024x362.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Golf-Insider-tipster-300x106.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Golf-Insider-tipster-768x271.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Golf-Insider-tipster.png 1522w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>How does he work? The site says that he uses a complicated set of algorithms. The Golf Insider is also said to have extensive contacts in the game. He uses his knowledge to work out the correct odds on each player. Of course, this only works if he is more accurate than the bookies. Which is a tall order.</p>
<p>It isn’t clear who the person behind the site is. However, we know that he joined forces with betting market expert Matthew Walton. It is Matthew who runs the site.</p>
<p>The tipster services have been proofed by third parties. And the numbers seem to stack up. It is suggested that you are best using a level stakes plan with this tipster. He seems to send out plenty of tips each month too.</p>
<p>At the time of writing, the Golf Insider Tournament Winners service costs £37.00+VAT for 30 days. They also mention a 30-day money back guarantee and annual subscription rates. He certainly gets a lot of long-odds winners right, it seems. But tipsters will also get stuff wrong too.</p>
<h2><strong>Betting Bias</strong></h2>
<p>This is a wide-ranging sports betting site that has been going since 2010. It covers sports like football, horse racing, tennis and rugby. A look at the golf section shows us a list of the recent tips and articles.</p>
<p>We get a fairly detailed analysis of their top picks. This means that you can see why each golfer is chosen. It is a nice approach. But it doesn’t seem to take advantage of any loopholes. So, you can probably expect to win some and lose some.</p>
<p>The tips are free. And independent reviews suggest that they have a decent track record. However, most reviews focus on their tips for other sports. It is difficult to say how successful you would be with their golf tips.</p>
<p>It is difficult to earn money consistently with free tips. This applies in any sport. Simply put, if the tips were really profitable they would probably charge for them. However, this is one of the best free options around.</p>
<p>It seems that this service might be best used together with another. Their analysis and look at the current odds could help you to make a decision. But you might not be convinced enough to blindly follow their tips.</p>
<p>Personally, I would recommend looking through the tips here before making bets. This will let you use their information in your betting process. But I’m not so sure that just following their tips would be particularly profitable.</p>
<p><strong>Sporting Life Golf (Ben Coley)</strong></p>
<p>Sporting Life is a popular publication that covers lots of sports. They have a golf section, but what is it like for tips? Ben Coley is their main man and he writes excellent previews of big tournaments. He is also a <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-paid-tipsters/">highly profitable tipster</a>.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28491 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Sporting-Life-Golf-Tipster.png" alt="Sporting Life Golf Tipster" width="448" height="106" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Sporting-Life-Golf-Tipster.png 448w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Sporting-Life-Golf-Tipster-300x71.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px" /></p>
<p>For instance, at the time of writing, he has covered the 2020 USA PGA Championship. At the start of the article, you can see his each way tips. He mentions 6 players and the number of points he suggests putting on them.</p>
<p>There is then a long article analysing the main contenders. He is clearly an expert on the sport and makes a lot of good points. This is the sort of betting service where you can just stick money on his picks if you prefer. He always offers sensible tips that are well researched. It is clear that Ben puts a huge amount of effort into his tips.</p>
<p>But, you could also use it more like educational content. You will find out a lot about the current form and historical factors. This means that you can learn more about each tournament’s favourites.</p>
<p>Therefore, it makes sense if you want to learn about the tournaments. You can then look at his tips and see if you agree with him on one or more of them. On this basis, who does it suit? Probably someone who loves golf and wants to become an expert. But it is also a decent choice for someone looking to follow easy tips.</p>
<p>I saw him noted as the most profitable golf tipster in 2020. According to Betting Kingdom, Ben has earned £3,625 to date. This is based on £10 per point. Those are great figures and it will be interesting to see how he ends the year.</p>
<h2><strong>OLBG Golf Tipsters</strong></h2>
<p>The <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/olbg-review-will-the-tipsters-make-you-any-money/">OLBG site</a> provides free tips on different sports. Their golf section typically covers the most popular, high-profile tournaments.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-27957 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/OLBG-logo.png" alt="OLBG logo" width="622" height="214" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/OLBG-logo.png 622w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/OLBG-logo-300x103.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px" /></p>
<p>The site points out that they have 25 tipsters with level stakes profits. This figure is from the start of 2020. In addition, their top 6 tipsters have profits of over 30 points.</p>
<p>You start by choosing an event. At the time of this research, the Ryder Cup is at the top of the list. I can see that 7 out of 9 tipsters picked Europe to win. 1 picked the USA and the other went for a tie. Below this summary, you can read more about the tournament.</p>
<p>For the US Open, most tipsters have opted for Tiger Woods. But it would be nice to see some more comments from them. A few tipsters don’t say anything. Others just put some short comments beside their selections.</p>
<p>The information isn’t really as in-depth as what we have seen on some other sites. But it is good to see how many tipsters choose each option. You can also look at the site’s top tipsters list, although there are few golf experts on it.</p>
<h2><strong>SJP Golf Tips</strong></h2>
<p>This highly thought of tipster can be seen on Sports Betting Stars. He is also <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-free-twitter-tipsters-to-follow/">active on Twitter</a>. How do his results stack up?</p>
<p>To be fair, his results are good so far. He is said to have a 45 point profit per month. And on 4 different months he got over 100 points. He gave his first tips out at the start of 2015. Since then, he has a profit of more than £10,000 from £10 bets.</p>
<p>He was second in that list of 2020’s best golf tipsters mentioned earlier. With £435 profit, he was quite far being Ben Coley.</p>
<p>SJP sends tips to your inbox. So all you need to do is follow the instructions. The first 14 days of the service are free. After that, it costs £29.99 each month. You can also pay £79.99 a quarter or £299.99 for a full year.</p>
<p>His record is very good, but the service is expensive. A look back at his full results is interesting. There are very few negative months. This is good news, but you could still lose money. It is a risk with any type of tipster.</p>
<p>This seems like an option for someone looking for an easy approach. You just need to look out for his emails. You also need a decent bank to cope with any losing bets.</p>
<h2><strong>The Golf Profiteer</strong></h2>
<p>This is the resident golf expert on <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/tipster-street-review-are-they-worth-following/">Tipster Street</a>. He looks at US and European tour events. His tips are based on 2 points, with 1 point each way. Anyone who signs up gets an average of 8 tips each week.</p>
<p>So far so good, what are his results like? The details on Tipster Street give a £2,903 profit since January 2020. The strike rate is 12.34% and the ROI is 7.13%. He recommends that you start with a bank of £500. The recommended stake per point is £10.</p>
<p>The Golf Profiteer turns an overall profit. But not all of his months are profitable. You can expect a bit of an up and down performance with him. His best month was +87.52 and his worst was a loss of 52.33 points.</p>
<p>The monthly cost is £10, although the first month is just £2. You can also pay £25 a quarter or £85 for a full year of the service.</p>
<h2><strong>Which One Should You Choose?</strong></h2>
<p>As we have seen, there are various factors to take into account. We can’t simply compare one tipster to another. They each have different approaches. So it more about choosing the method that you prefer.</p>
<p>Do you prefer to just get a straight tip? Or would you like to get all of the information you need to make a decision? Another alternative is to look for loopholes that let you get value bets.</p>
<p>The truth is that everyone needs to make their own choice. This is why each of these services is popular. There are enough people out there who want to try each approach.</p>
<p>Of course, there are other golf tipsters out there too. It isn’t as crowded a market as football or horse racing. Yet, you will find a decent selection of them online. As with any sport, most tipsters won’t earn you much profit.</p>
<p>However, the average profits in golf are very reasonable. Could it be that there is a higher percentage of experts in this sport? There are certainly fewer unreliable sites than in football or horse racing, it seems.</p>
<h2><strong>Best Golf Betting Tipsters Summary</strong></h2>
<p>Do you want to give golf betting a try? If you do, the tipsters we have looked at here could help you to do so. They each offer interesting ways of doing this. This will let you choose the approach that suits your needs and personality. Often the best golf tipsters are free.</p>
<p>If you enjoy golf, betting will add to the pleasure. Just ask yourself a question first of all. Is getting a profit the most important thing? Or do you just want to add an extra edge to watching the action? On the basis of this point, you can work out which one to go with.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Trade Your Bets Review</strong></h1>
<p>The Trade Your Bet system is based on the simple fact that you can’t beat the bookies. The introduction tells us all the reasons why this is the case. But what can be done about it? One option is to try trading.</p>
<p>Trading on sports is a popular choice these days. But not everyone is comfortable getting started on it. Some people think that is might be too complex, risky or time-consuming.</p>
<p>This site promises to let you do it better. Let’s takes a look in the Trade Your Bets review at what it offers. Could it help you to make money on a sustainable basis?</p>
<h2><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28479 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets.png" alt="Trade Your Bets" width="660" height="150" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets.png 660w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets-300x68.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></strong></h2>
<h2><strong>What Is Trade Your Bets?</strong></h2>
<p>This is a tool to help you to trade on sports. The idea is that it gives you everything that you need. Of course, one of the big issues with trading is getting started. Many people are put off by the thought of learning numerous strategies.</p>
<p>All you need do is sign up for their advice. You can then start using a <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/smarkets-review/">betting exchange</a> to make smart bets. You don’t need to be an expert or spend a huge amount of time on learning what to do. So, it is <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/what-is-betfair-trading-all-about/">suitable for newcomers</a> as well as people who already know a bit about trading.</p>
<p>It is based purely on <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betfair-football-strategies/">football bets</a>. Having said that, they cover a variety of leagues and markets. You can also choose between simple bookie bets and Betfair trading. This is a crucial point. Firstly, because it means that it appeals to different people.</p>
<p>These varied ways of betting also give you added flexibility. You might like to trade sometimes and keep it simpler at other times. It lets you choose the right approach for your lifetime and schedule.</p>
<h2><strong>What Does It Provide?</strong></h2>
<p>There are a few different things here for you to use. The Member’s Area is where you will find the tools that you need to make successful trades.</p>
<p>A 10-year database is used to ensure that you get solid selections. When you enter, you will see the day’s selection listed by league. For example, the day of this Trade Your Bets review, I saw matches from Australia, Austria, Paraguay and several other countries.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28480 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-your-bets-10-year-database-1024x516.png" alt="Trade your bets 10 year database" width="1024" height="516" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-your-bets-10-year-database-1024x516.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-your-bets-10-year-database-300x151.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-your-bets-10-year-database-768x387.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-your-bets-10-year-database-1536x775.png 1536w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-your-bets-10-year-database-2048x1033.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>There were 13 leagues listed for today. Each one says beside it how many games are mentioned that day. The total number of matches was close to 50 today. However, you almost certainly won’t be trading on all of them. You can filter on certain leagues and other criteria if you want to. This lets you see the most suitable and interesting matches.</p>
<p>Each league has a symbol and a percentage next to it. This lets you see at a glance how attractive it is for trading. I could see the following signs:</p>
<ul>
<li>A green tick. The league has settled form for trading.</li>
<li>A green warning sign. The league is still settling into form. Trade with caution.</li>
<li>A red warning sign. This is used in different situations. For example, if the league has just started and teams have no current form. In other cases, it is used when some teams have nothing to play for.</li>
</ul>
<p>This system lets you quickly see which leagues to focus on. Clearly, the green tick is what you want to see. If you choose one with a green warning sign you will want to do some research. The red warning sign leagues are best avoided. In some leagues, there will be no suitable bets. In other cases, you might have options on all of the matches.</p>
<h2>Trade Your Bets 10 Year Database</h2>
<p>If you click on the + sign next to a league it will open up. This shows you the games taking place, including the teams and the kick-off time.</p>
<p>You will also see 7 columns for each match. These are Home / Draw / Away / BTS / O 1.5 / 0 2.5 / O 3.5. There are the different markets that you can trade on. If a certain one isn’t recommended, it will show an x. A tick is used to show that it is a good trading prospect.</p>
<p>The bets are calculated on 1 year, 3 year and 10 year data.  Each is shown with an individual tick, cross or question mark. The three sets of data often coincide, but not always. Finally, the current Betfair price is shown at the bottom. As this changes during the day, the green ticks may appear and disappear.</p>
<p>The set-up is pretty simple. It looks kind of basic and maybe even a bit old-fashioned. Yet, there is no doubt that the information is useful and clearly presented. For many people, this will be more important than the style aspect.</p>
<h2>Trade Your Bets Members Area</h2>
<p>Further down the member’s area, some different picks are listed. At the time of this Trade Your Bets review, I could see a decent amount of variety. We will look at them now.</p>
<p>The website recommends using the KLOver selections as set-and-forget bets or as trades. These are very simple trades based on the Over 2.5 goals market. It is clearly explained how to get out with a profit, provided at least one goal is seen.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28481 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-bets-KLOver-trades-1024x215.png" alt="Trade Your bets KLOver trades" width="1024" height="215" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-bets-KLOver-trades-1024x215.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-bets-KLOver-trades-300x63.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-bets-KLOver-trades-768x161.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-bets-KLOver-trades-1536x323.png 1536w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-bets-KLOver-trades-2048x430.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>David&#8217;s &#8216;ESTW&#8217; (Either Side To Win) selections are also recommended on the site. This is where you use the lay the draw strategy. Like the previous picks, they are simple to place.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28482 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets-Davids-ESTW-Value-Bets-1024x365.png" alt="Trade Your Bets David's ESTW &amp; Value Bets" width="1024" height="365" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets-Davids-ESTW-Value-Bets-1024x365.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets-Davids-ESTW-Value-Bets-300x107.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets-Davids-ESTW-Value-Bets-768x274.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets-Davids-ESTW-Value-Bets-1536x548.png 1536w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trade-Your-Bets-Davids-ESTW-Value-Bets-2048x730.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>Another option is to look at the 10-year database. Simply following the green ticks shows you the games to bet on. Ideally, a match will have a series of three of these ticks. This will give you more confidence to bet on it.</p>
<p>They also say that the customer support is excellent. I didn’t test this, and I couldn’t see any feedback from other members.</p>
<h2><strong>Who Is Behind It?</strong></h2>
<p>The Trade Your Bets site is run by a man called Kevin Laverick. He describes himself as a professional football trader. Kevin says that in 2016 he decided to completely switch to trading. He had seen that the bookies had swung the market too far in their favour.</p>
<p>As for his background, he mentions a degree in Pure Maths and Statistics. Kevin also mentions working with <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/goal-profits-review/">Steve Brown at Goal Profits</a>. Together, they developed the algorithms that the system uses.</p>
<p>Kevin says that he has been using Betfair since it started. He mentions 2005 as being the key year in which he realised how to make a profit from it.</p>
<p>As a youngster, he loved playing football. Yet, he ended up working as a chartered surveyor. When he tried Betfair in 2000, he lost £40,000 in 4 years at first. He learned how to trade. Then he started blogging about strategies and went back to Betfair in 2005.</p>
<p>You might see it mentioned that he has also sorted up <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/value-betting/">Value Football Betting</a>. This looks like the same site, with the name changing to Trade Your Bets as some point in the past. But the way it works is now different, so it isn’t just a name change.</p>
<p>You can still see the database from the earlier service. But it probably suits someone who is happy doing a lot of research. It isn’t as simple to use as the new site is.</p>
<p>Kevin also works as a tipster on some other sites. For example, he is mentioned a lot in connection with Goal Profits. However, it appears that Trade Your Bets is his main focus right now.</p>
<h2><strong>H</strong><strong>ow Much Does It Cost?</strong></h2>
<p>The monthly cost at the date of this Trade Your Bets review is £25. If you sign up for a quarter it is £65. A full year costs £200. You can pay by PayPal or Skrill, with the former recommended on the site for ease.</p>
<p>You can cancel at any time, although no refund options are stated. So I think you just stop your membership in terms of future payments. There is no free trial either, so you need to sign up for at least a month.</p>
<p>As for the starting bank, a figure of £1,000 is mentioned as being ideal. It is pointed out that some members have started with £500 or less. However, £1,000 will give you the basis for 100 points at a value of £10 each. It probably isn’t worth paying for if you don’t have a decent bank to use.</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Make Money?</strong></h2>
<p>The variables here make it impossible to put a figure on potential profits. For a start, there are lots of different trades to choose from every day. You won’t be placing them all. So, it depends which ones you choose to place. You might get lucky and choose the day’s best bets, or make a poorer decision.</p>
<p>Then the exact strategy comes into play. Will you cash out at the right time or not? The site gives no indication on potential profits to base this Trade Your Bets review on.</p>
<p>One thing that is shown is the record for a certain selection of games. It is pointed out that 12 out 12 selections won on Danish games a certain day. This led to a 14.36 profit. This is impressive, but is it likely on a regular basis?</p>
<p>We will look in a moment at other Trade Your Bets reviews. The concept of finding winning trades sounds good. But most people probably want some solid profit estimates to go with.</p>
<p>I could see mention of the set and forget Over 2.5 goals tips. They say that the bank on here increased by 22% in the first month using them. This was February 2020, but the lockdown straight after this put it on hold.</p>
<p>There is also a summary of the double and treble bets from James Leadbetter. He apparently tripled his bank with the tips he shares. The other section is David Heaton’s bets and trades. 121.84 points and a 29.43% profit was gained in the first two months. It is pointed out that the members who staked £10 per point gained £1,218.40 profit in this time.</p>
<p>Persoanlly I would focus on the trades and bets provided rather than using</p>
<h2><strong>How Many Bookies and How Many Sports / Markets Are Included?</strong></h2>
<p>As we have seen in this Trade Your Bets review, it is all about football. A variety of football markets and leagues all over the world are included. So there is a good degree of variety here, even if it is just one sport.</p>
<p>The key is in using Betfair to make trades. You will need an account with this exchange. It is their prices that are shown on picks. However, not all of the tips need a trading approach.</p>
<p>The use of simple bets you can place with a bookie adds more variety. These are what they call set and forget bets. They are faster and simpler to place than trades on the exchange. However, it is pointed out that your account might get restricted if you are successful.</p>
<p>As noted earlier, there are many different leagues. You might choose the divisions that you are most comfortable with. Or you might decide to follow the ticks. Simply betting on matches with three ticks on a certain market is an option.</p>
<h2><strong>What Are Other People Saying About It?</strong></h2>
<p>This trading service has been about for a while now. So I took a look to see if I could find many Trade Your Bets reviews. To be fair, there is a lack of independent reviews of it just now.</p>
<p>Certainly. Kevin Laverick is quite well respected in the industry. He is well-known because of this service and his work on Goal Profits. His previous Value Football Betting has a couple of decent reviews. However, he points out that the focus was more on stats and it was less user-friendly.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/footyip">Kevin is fairly active on Twitter</a>. He sends out a few tips each day, although there is nothing new from May to July. He keeps his messages short and simple. Although he has close to 1,800 followers, there aren’t enough replies to judge the reactions.</p>
<p>There is nothing to suggest that Trade Your Bets is a scam. It seems to be an honest, reliable service. The big question is whether you can make money. This is where seeing some Trade Your Bets reviews might have helped.</p>
<p>Overall, there isn’t enough information out there to decide what people think about it. A lack of Trade Your Bets reviews leaves us short of information. However, the only real worry I have is over the amount of the profits.</p>
<h2><strong> Will You Get Gubbed Using Trade Your Bets?</strong></h2>
<p>This site is very clear on bookies restricting your account. It is one of the reasons that they adopted a trading approach in the first place.</p>
<p>The site gives you the option of placing bets with bookies. But it notes that you might get <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/gubbing/">gubbed</a> eventually. This is where moving to Betfair will help. They won’t restrict you on the exchange.</p>
<p>Therefore, there are a few different approaches you could try. You might decide to stick to just Betfair trades. Or you could start with the bookies and move to the exchange if needed. The other possibility is to switch between both types of bet from the start.</p>
<h2><strong>Advantages of Trade Your Bets</strong></h2>
<p>With this Trade Your Bets review, we have looked at a number of positive points. The following are some of the main ones to bear in mind.</p>
<ul>
<li>It is easy to find the current recommended bets.</li>
<li>Lots of picks from around many different leagues.</li>
<li>Choose from straightforward bookie bets or trading on Betfair.</li>
<li>Good level of support offered to members.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Disadvantages of Trade Your Bets</strong></h2>
<p>Not everything is good news, though. We have seen the following negatives in this Trade Your Bets review too.</p>
<ul>
<li>Not clear how much you could win with it.</li>
<li>No free trial or short-term membership plan.</li>
<li>The site looks a little bit dated.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Who Might It Suit?</strong></h2>
<p>It is clear that different betting sites appeal to different types of people. Who is likely to give Trade Your Bets a try?</p>
<p>The fact that simple bets and trades are both offered is interesting. This means that it might be a good idea for newcomers. Especially those who want to learn as they go. It seems possible to start off gently and then learn about trading.</p>
<p>It won’t suit someone who wants to win every time like <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-book/">Matched Betting</a>. They have a big database and a clear strategy. But you can still expect to suffer losses. This isn’t a recipe for sure-fire wins on every match. So you need to be comfortable with the idea of losing sometimes.</p>
<h2><strong>Trade Your Bets Review: Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>This Trade Your Bets review has covered a decent football trading service. It is clearly explained and anyone can start using it without any training.</p>
<p>The big question left unanswered is whether you would win money with it. My feeling is that you would in the long run. The big database and the clear presentation mean that you will be making informed decisions.</p>
<p><a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betting-system-reviews/">Like any betting or trading system</a>, it isn’t perfect. You could suffer a bad losing streak. But overall it is well thought out approach. It is easy to imagine a newcomer to trading getting off to a nice start with it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Betrush Review</strong></h1>
<p>If you love sports betting, you might be keen to get some extra help. Tips and advice from the experts could help you to boost your winnings. But how do you know who to trust and who to avoid? How do you know what the <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-paid-tipsters/">best tipsters are</a>?</p>
<p>This Betrush review looks at a site that promises lots of picks. They do this by bringing together many tipsters. You can choose from free or paid tips.</p>
<p>Will they increase your chances of beating the bookies? I had a good look at the service, to find out the answer. Let’s see what I found out.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28471 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-review.png" alt="Bet Rush review" width="558" height="164" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-review.png 558w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-review-300x88.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px" /></p>
<h2><strong>What Is Betrush?</strong></h2>
<p>To put it simply, Betrush gives you a selection of picks from tipsters. When you first open the site, a huge amount of information jumps out at you. For a start, there is a long list of free picks. Everything you need to place a bet is right there on the home page.</p>
<p>Another section mentions Premium Picks, which cost money. We can also take a look at the tipsters. Then there is a list of bookies and some <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-book/">information on bonuses</a>. If you are new to sports betting some of the details are quite useful.</p>
<p>I could see a few different sports covered. The odds and type of bet also vary quite a lot. The use of many different tipsters helps to add variety here too.</p>
<p>It is a promising start. If you want to see lots of tips, that is exactly what you will find. Let’s go a bit deeper in this Betrush review and see what exactly they offer.</p>
<h2><strong>What Does It Provide?</strong></h2>
<p>The home page starts off with the Betrush Top 5. It turns out that these are their top tipsters. They are listed in three categories; all-time, last 90 days and this month. At the time of researching this Betrush review, no one was on more than one list.</p>
<p>The figures for these tipsters are decent but not spectacular. I will look at them in depth a bit later in the review.</p>
<p>The next section is called Active Picks. These are tips for games today in the next few days. I could see about a dozen for today (it is quite late in the day). Then there were 4 already up for tomorrow as well. So a shortage of tips doesn’t look like being a problem here. In fact, choosing the best ones is probably a bigger issue.</p>
<p>Each tip has the following headings.</p>
<ul>
<li>Game. A symbol at the start shows you the sport, followed by the name of the participants. I could see mainly football, with UFC and some baseball. The variety was quite good, with footie from Italy, Brazil, the Faroe Islands and Sweden coming up.</li>
<li>Pick. This tells you what to bet on. Some are straight home/away or draw bets. Others cover over/under goals, both to score etc.</li>
<li>The tipster. You can see who is offering the tip. This gives you a link to their own profile. I could see a variety of tipsters, rather than just the same names on all the tips.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you click on the game link, you can see a preview of it. The previews are decent but don’t really suggest inside knowledge. In the main, they seem to have been put together by someone who has done some research. So, they offer a reasonable starting point. Other users can also add in comments below the preview.</p>
<p>After that, we can see the list of how recent tips worked out. For this Betrush review, I counted roughly 50% correct predictions and 50% wrong. On the face of it, those results aren’t too bad. Hovering over each one shows the odds on the bet too.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28472 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-tips-1024x680.png" alt="Bet Rush tips" width="1024" height="680" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-tips-1024x680.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-tips-300x199.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-tips-768x510.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-tips.png 1506w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>Most of the successful bets were at pretty short odds. I didn’t see any stand-out successes. It seemed to be more of a case of earning small profits fairly regularly.</p>
<p>Down the side, I could see In Focus. These are links to blogs on their site. They seem to publish about one a day or a bit less some weeks. The subjects are fairly interesting to be fair. But a few more posts would be nice. Some of them are also pretty general filler content about sports betting and offers.</p>
<p>If you are looking for in-depth analysis, you won’t find it here. These are light, interesting articles that may help you get a general feel for a sport. But you won’t pick up any great insights, I would suggest.</p>
<p>They also have links to bookies and to a couple of other betting services. This is usually a sign that the site is an affiliate. It isn’t a guarantee of it being a scam or unreliable. But it does suggest that they earn money from bookies. This could mean that their main interest is in simply get you to place bets.</p>
<p>It works by giving the website owner commission on the bets you place. So the more wagers you make the better for them. This is a common enough system on tipster sites. However, it should make you wonder about their motives. Does it suit them to just fill the place with as many tips as they can?</p>
<p>The Premium Picks part of the site is where you can pay for tips from “carefully selected tipsters”. Betrush say that this is a profitable service running since 2011. You need to pay a subscription fee for these picks, which I will look at in a moment.</p>
<p>Betrush Verified is the section of the site where past results are verified. Basically, it is a tipster proofing service. Finally, a Betting Forum is where you can discuss a range of betting matters with other members.</p>
<h2><strong>Who Is Behind It?</strong></h2>
<p>The Betrush site doesn’t provide a lot of details about the people behind it. They seem to be based in Bulgaria. A couple of forum posters mention the person who is possibly the owner. But I couldn’t see this confirmed anywhere.</p>
<p>They have a <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-free-twitter-tipsters-to-follow/">Twitter account</a> but with no recent activity. It was started in 2010 but nothing has been posted since 2019. They have just under 1,000 followers. It’s a similar story on Facebook.</p>
<p>It would be nice to know more about the people behind it. This is always a way of feeling more confident about a betting site. However, I guess it’s the tipsters that really matter in this case. Can we find out more about them?</p>
<p>Clicking on a tipster give you details of their stats. You can also see their chosen avatar, which is usually a club badge, favourite player etc. I couldn’t find out anything about the people behind the tips.</p>
<p>Does this lack of transparency matter? It might to some people and not to others. I guess it just depends upon whether you like to know who is giving you tips. Some people have accused this site of using computer-generated tipsters. I can’t confirm or deny this, due to the scant information provided.</p>
<h2><strong>H</strong><strong>ow Much Does It Cost?</strong></h2>
<p>We have seen in this Betrush review that most tips are free. It seems that they mainly make their money from affiliate fees by sending members to bookie sites.</p>
<p>The Premium Picks section is where you need to subscribe. This costs from €9.90. For this price, you get access to all of their tips.</p>
<p>The €9.90 price is for 7 days of access. 1 month costs €29.90 and 3 months €79.90. 6 months has a price of €149.90.</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Make Money?</strong></h2>
<p>With so many tips on here, you need to be selective. If you adopt a scattergun approach and select lots of them, you are unlikely to win much.</p>
<p>The key is in finding a method that helps you. An example is if you investigate the tipsters. You might find one that you trust. Perhaps they have a strong record on certain types of bet or game.</p>
<p>Another approach is to use the tips to back up your own feelings. You might have an idea what to bet on. Finding a tipster here for that same game can help you to make up your mind.</p>
<p>A look at the recent picks earlier in this Betrush review suggested a 50% strike rate. I decided to look at a few individual tipsters. Their tip all-time tipsters is called fpicks00 and had a total profit of 1181.3. They have only been sending 1 tip each month in recent times. This means big swings, from a 100% monthly loss to profits over 60%.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-28473" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-profit-1024x337.png" alt="Bet Rush profit" width="1024" height="337" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-profit-1024x337.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-profit-300x99.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-profit-768x253.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-profit-1536x505.png 1536w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Bet-Rush-profit.png 1556w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>Perhaps a better example comes from FollowMe. This is the top tipster in the last month. They have a total of 1066 picks. This has given a yield of +2% and a profit of +242.6 over close to 5 years.</p>
<p>The highest on the list in the last 90 days is franeq. This tipster has over 90 picks to their name. A +17% yield and +136.1 profit is pretty decent. But the sample size is still quite small.</p>
<p>The service has over 700 tipsters just now. If you randomly choose your bets, I reckon you are more likely to lose money than win it. Picking the right tipster could reverse this situation. But it still feels like a bit of guesswork. None of the tipsters really convinced me that they are experts who will consistently win me money.</p>
<p>Their paid tipster service is fairly expensive. They say that it has provided more than 15,000 picks since 2011. It is also said to be “proven profitable”. But no figures are mentioned to back that up.</p>
<p>The Premium Picks are partially hidden until you pay for the service. All you can see is the date of the match and the tipster. When I looked, there was 3 for tomorrow and 2 for the next day.</p>
<p>Also listed are recent wins but not losses. There are usually a few wins each day but it isn’t clear how many bets lose. These picks seem to be mainly on football, from different countries and markets. They say that they only use Pinnacle and the main Asian bookies on these picks.</p>
<p>Most of the listed picks came from tipster abdulalhazred. I had a look at this tipster’s profile. They have a yield of +4% and a profit of +39.1. This is on close to 900 tips over the last year. Average odds are 1.94.</p>
<p>I can’t see anything to justify the price of Premium Picks. They may be more selective than <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/olbg-review-will-the-tipsters-make-you-any-money/">their free tips</a>. But it still feels like a bit of a scattergun approach. They choose fairly low odds, so a reasonably high strike rate is to be expected. There is no clear sign that these are expert tips worth paying for.</p>
<h2><strong>How Many Bookies and How Many Sports / Markets Are Included?</strong></h2>
<p>The Betrush website confirms that they cover “popular sports as <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betfair-football-strategies/">football / soccer</a>, basketball, tennis, hockey and more”. The others include tennis, snooker and UFC.</p>
<p>At the time of this Betrush review, most of the upcoming games are in football. These cover many different leagues and cups around the world. I guess their tipsters come from all over. Which means that it makes sense that they have varied expertise.</p>
<p>In terms of bookies, the home page has a list of 12 of them. They include the likes of Bet365, Betsafe and Rivalo. So it is a mixture of big names and others that aren’t so well-known. Click on “see all” to see a total of over 30 of them.</p>
<p>Presumably, most of their tips use these bookmakers. For this Betrush review I checked out quite a few of them. The only bookie mentioned not on their list appeared to be BetVictor. But clicking on the bet still took me to the bookie’s own site.</p>
<p>They use Pinnacle and Bet365 a lot. I guess this comes down to the tipster’s choices. The paid picks are mainly on Pinnacle who do not ban winning players.</p>
<h2><strong>What Are Other Betrush Reviews Saying About It?</strong></h2>
<p>This service has been around for quite a few years now. So I was hoping to see a lot of Betrush reviews. Yet, there isn’t a lot of solid information to go on.</p>
<p>A couple of short, positive reviews don’t go into many details. Other Betrush reviews call it a scam but don’t back it up with any evidence. This is where they even claim the tipsters are computer-generated.</p>
<p>In short, there are no truly independent Betrush reviews. They either swing too much one way or the other. It would have been nice to see someone use the site for a while and track their results.</p>
<h2><strong> Will You Get Gubbed Using Betrush?</strong></h2>
<p>You don’t want to get <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/gubbing/">gubbed by bookies</a>. This is because it is something that severely restricts your access to offers. The good news is that a tipster service won’t normally get you gubbed.</p>
<p>The main reason for this is that you will lose bets. Using tips isn’t a secret to constant success. This means that bookies will view you as a regular punter. They will be quite happy to see you lose more than you win.</p>
<p>Your problems with bookies will only begin if you start to win regularly. With tipping services, this usually isn’t a problem.</p>
<p>The risk of gubbing is also lowered by using different bookies. This means that there is less chance of a particular bookie restricting you.</p>
<p>As we have seen, the Premium Picks are on Pinnacle. This means that there is more risk of you getting gubbed. But the results to date don’t suggest that this should be an issue anyway.</p>
<h2><strong>Betrush Review &#8211; Advantages</strong></h2>
<p>In this Betrush review, we have seen some interesting information. What details can be classed as being advantages to their service?</p>
<ul>
<li>Easy to find tips.</li>
<li>A good number of tips each day.</li>
<li>Fairly detailed information on tipsters and their records.</li>
<li>Match previews.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Betrush Review &#8211; Disadvantages<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>There are also some drawbacks here to take into account. The following are issues highlighted in this Betrush review.</p>
<ul>
<li>Paid service is quite expensive.</li>
<li>Difficult to see how you could make a sustainable profit.</li>
<li>Generally low odds.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Who Might It Suit?</strong></h2>
<p>Taking everything into account, this looks like it is designed for someone who just wants some fun. Maybe you love sport and would like to be a bit better informed. This service will highlight some of the bets you might like to try.</p>
<p>On the other hand, it won’t suit you if you want to <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/profit-maximiser-review/">make serious money</a>. This isn’t the sort of service where you will win huge sums. There is a mixture of wins and losses here. Plus, the winnings odds are often pretty modest.</p>
<p>Therefore, it seems right for someone who isn’t looking for a money-making scheme. They just want to enjoy betting. This is fair enough, as we don’t all want the same thing. As long as you go into with the right attitude, it can be a lot of fun.</p>
<p>Looked at in this light, it is easy to see who might like this site. For others who want regular wins, <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-book/">matched betting</a> remains a solid choice.</p>
<h2><strong>Betrush Review: Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>During this Betrush review, we have seen a lot of interesting details. It is clear that this is a service that sports fans could find interesting.</p>
<p>I’m not convinced by the profitability of their free tips. Their Premium selection also seems unlikely to make you much money. However, it is always good to remember that we don’t all look for the same things.</p>
<p>If you want to have some fun betting, this site will help you. If you want to make regular profits, I suggest looking elsewhere.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Pyckio Review</strong></h1>
<p>One thing the world isn’t short of right now is tipsters. Pyckio is one of numerous tipster sites that you can choose from these days. Can it help you to choose your bets more wisely? Above all, will it help you to <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-paid-tipsters/">win more money from betting</a>?</p>
<p>In this Pyckio review, we will take a good look at what it offers. You can then decide whether to follow their tips from now on. There is a lot to look at here. So let’s see what it is all about.</p>
<h2><strong>What Is Pyckio?</strong></h2>
<p>This is a service that brings tipsters and punters together. The website is available in England and Spanish. When you sign up, you can use both types of service it offers. This means that you can load your own tips and also follow other tipsters.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28464 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Pyckio-review.png" alt="Pyckio review" width="654" height="188" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Pyckio-review.png 654w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Pyckio-review-300x86.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px" /></p>
<p>If you want to find better bets, this could be a decent solution. There are loads of tipsters on here to choose from. Some are free and some charge a regular fee for their services. If you want to make money with your own tips, it depends how successful you are.</p>
<p>It is also worth noting that they classify their tipsters by their success. So it is fairly easy to see how successful any tipster has been. The truth is that there is a big difference between the most successful and the least successful.</p>
<p>You can use the desktop site or mobile app. Both are neatly presented and easy to navigate.</p>
<h2><strong>What Does It Provide?</strong></h2>
<p>We can look at the services for punters first of all. You might want to start by looking at the tipster ratings. They use an algorithm to give each tipster a rating of between 0 and 5.</p>
<ul>
<li>User. This is a tipster who hasn’t yet submitted any tips to the site.</li>
<li>Trainee. This is someone who has got a negative yield. Or else they have a positive yield but with under 100 picks so far.</li>
<li>Rookie. In this case, their rating is between 0 and 1.0. This generally applies to newcomers.</li>
<li>Promise. This tipster sits at somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0.</li>
<li>Coach. The rating in this case is from 2.0 up to 3.0.</li>
<li>Master. This tipping expert has reached 3.0 to 3.5.</li>
<li>Grand Master. Somewhere between 3.5 and 4.25 has been achieved by this person.</li>
<li>Pro. This is awarded for a score of 4.25 to 5.0. In addition, they need to have made 500 or more picks. And have a minimum yield of 4.5%. They are clearly the best tipsters on the site.</li>
</ul>
<p>Only tipsters who reach 4.25 can charge fees. It isn’t clear if this is an automatic switch once they reach this level. I imagine that it is, as the whole thing is automated and pretty slick.</p>
<h2><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28466 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pyckio-tipster-rankings-1024x750.png" alt=" pyckio tipster rankings" width="1024" height="750" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pyckio-tipster-rankings-1024x750.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pyckio-tipster-rankings-300x220.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pyckio-tipster-rankings-768x563.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pyckio-tipster-rankings.png 1414w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></h2>
<h2>Free Picks</h2>
<p>You might want to start by looking at the <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/can-you-trust-tipsters-and-should-you-follow-them/">Free Picks page</a>. As the name suggests, this is where you can find no-cost tips. You won’t be surprised to see a lower level of quality here. Many of the free tipsters are new or have relatively poor records. But you might find something that interests you.</p>
<p>Some have good yields from a small sample size. For example, I can see the user bot4c with a yield of over 13%. But this is from just 4 picks. Anything you choose from this section is going to be a bit of a gamble in terms of quality. You need to see a good sample of 100 &#8211; 200 bets before they are worth looking at.</p>
<p>If you look at Pro Picks, you will see the top tipsters on the site. But you will have to pay to get their tips. At the time of writing this Pyckio review, the top tipster’s name is André Cunha (motaliz). He has a rating of 4.78 and a 7.7% yield to date. This tipster looks at football using match odds (1&#215;2), Asian handicap and over/under markets.</p>
<p>Next is Nishi Kori (nishikori) with a 4.7 rating for tennis tips. This tipster has an impressive 8.4% yield right now. Their strategy is to look for value at fairly high odds. They look at markets like 1<sup>st</sup> set winner, match odd and over/under.</p>
<p>The third best tipster on here is called Jurgen Tischer (nietzsche). He looks at volleyball, which is something you won’t find many other tipsters for. His yield is 4.6% from over 7,000 picks. Some lower placed tipsters have better yields, but the Pyckio algorithm has rated him higher.</p>
<p>You can go through the full list of Pros in this way. There is a lot of details on each of them. As well as their results, you can see the odds used. The number of bets and types of bet are all listed for each of them too.</p>
<p>So, you won’t want to just choose the first one you see. If you want a good strategy, you need to look more in-depth. This will allow you to see the full details to take into account.</p>
<p>There are a total of 18 tipsters with a rating of over 4 in here. It is in this section that you are likely to make some money. There is no guarantee of this. But these tipsters all have a pretty strong track record.</p>
<h2>Tipster Analysis</h2>
<p>A nice touch is the option to only see tipsters with analysis included. Some of them have fairly details analysis included. Others cover this area very briefly. It is up to you to decide whether it matters to you.</p>
<p>Another option is to filter by sport. The following different sports are all covered on Pyckio.</p>
<ul>
<li>Football</li>
<li>Tennis</li>
<li>Basketball</li>
<li>Baseball</li>
<li>Hockey</li>
<li>Volleyball</li>
<li>Rugby</li>
<li>American Football</li>
<li>MMA</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also choose the match you are interested in. You can then see what tipsters are working on it.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28467 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Pyckio-sports.png" alt="Pyckio sports" width="998" height="788" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Pyckio-sports.png 998w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Pyckio-sports-300x237.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Pyckio-sports-768x606.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px" /></p>
<p>There are actually a couple of ways of choosing your picks. One is to enter your personal timeline on the site. You will see in there the activity of your selected tipsters. The other option is to enter the match or event page. This is where you will see all of the tips and analyses made on it, in one place.</p>
<p>When you sign up to a tipster, you will see how many tips they produce. You will also see when they send tips and the odds they tend to use. When they publish a new tip, you get an email advising you.</p>
<p>A Betting University section gives you lots of information to get started. They also have a blog. Here, you will find posts from some of their top tipsters. The site is well thought out so that you can find out a lot of good information very easily.</p>
<h2><strong>Who Is Behind It?</strong></h2>
<p>The Pyckio site lists 4 main members of the team. Daniel Mateos is mentioned as being the co-founder and CEO. He is from a financial markets background. He is a pro tennis tipster too and also follows football. Daniel also writes most of their blogs.</p>
<p>Fernando Montero is co-founder and CTO. He is their technology expert and worked as a senior developer before this site. Andrés Barge is listed as a partner and advisor. He is a big sports fan and technology expert. Finally, Alfredo Hiernaux is another partner and advisor. He appears to be mainly involved in statistical analysis.</p>
<p>It isn’t clear how many other people work for them. According to LinkedIn, they have between one and ten members of staff.</p>
<h2><strong>H</strong><strong>ow Much Does It Cost?</strong></h2>
<p>As we saw earlier in this Pyckio review, free tips are available. However, you might prefer to pay for tips from more proven tipsters. It is really just down to personal preference how you do this.</p>
<p>The charging system is a bit unusual, as you pay for the number of Pro picks. For example, the top-rated Pro charges €1.72 per pick. You are offered packages of 50, 20 or 1,000 picks. This means that the top package costs a whopping €1,723 and a few coins. With an average of about 30 tips a month, this would last you around 3 years, though.</p>
<p>The price falls as you move down the list of Pros. The second placed tipster costs €1.62 per pick and the next one €1.56. The cheapest Pro I could see at the time of the Pyckio review was €0.63 per pick. This for a tipster with a 4.03 rating.</p>
<p>The tipster earns 50% of the revenue that they generate. You can <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/how-much-money-do-tipsters-make/">earn this too with your own tips</a>. But you need to move up to the Pro level to do so.</p>
<p>If you select a couple of packages of 1,000 then you get 10% extra on each. You can also change your picks from one tipster to another if you want to, once a month. Picks that are at odds under 1.10 are free to choose.</p>
<p>When a tipster drops below a 3.75 rate they stop being Pro. So you can switch to another tipster with your picks that are left if this happens.</p>
<p>A different option is to sign up for Grand Master tips. Remember that this is the level below Pro. This subscription gives you access to all of the tipsters on this level. One month costs you €257. A yearly subscription is just over €925 at the time of researching this Pyckio review.</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Make Money?</strong></h2>
<p>Really, there are two possible ways of making money here. The first one is to post your own tips. If you climb up the rankings, you will earn part of the revenue you generate. They encourage tipsters with profiles on other sites to switch over to them too.</p>
<p>Yet, most people will be looking to subscribe to a tipster. The <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-free-twitter-tipsters-to-follow/">free tips</a> are interesting but it is difficult to see how to make money. Most of these tipsters are unproven or have patchy records. You could lose money just as easily as win it.</p>
<p>With free tipsters, the only way I can see is by catching an emerging star. You might spot someone who is moving up the ranks. In this way, you can get free tips before they become a Pro.</p>
<p>The Grand Master selection is pretty expensive. It is going to give you a decent amount of picks. But these aren’t from the site’s best tipsters. It may suit you if you have a lot of time, I guess. You will want to do some research and choose the best picks from here. For some people, it will be just too much hassle and too much time.</p>
<p>Choosing a Pro tipster is the easiest approach. You could simply bet on whatever they tip. These are tipsters with a decent track record. It doesn’t guarantee that you will win, though. Given that each pick costs money, you could struggle to make a profit.</p>
<p>Either way, any profits are likely to vary. Some tipsters can keep up their winning records for a while. But others may suffer big swings in their fortunes. You never know what will happen next.</p>
<h2><strong>How Many Bookies and How Many Sports / Markets Are Included?</strong></h2>
<p>Earlier in the Pyckio review we saw that it covers a variety of sports. Football is the most popular, but there is quite a strong focus on tennis too. There are several other sports to look at as well.</p>
<p>Different tipsters look at varying types of bet. For instance, we can look at the Grand Masters category. For football, we can see the likes of match odds (1&#215;2), Asian handicap and over/under. A similar, varied approach applies in other sports too.</p>
<h2><strong>What Are Other </strong><strong>Pyckio Reviews </strong><strong>Saying About It?</strong></h2>
<p>I had a look for other Pyckio reviews and feedback. To be fair, there isn’t a lot to be found on it. As always, comments on forums and social media are varied. Their top tipsters attract the most positive reviews. In particular, the tennis tipster Nishi Kori has been well spoken of online.</p>
<p>The lack of reliable reviews is a worry. Pyckio has been around for a while, so hopefully there will be more soon. For the moment, we need to rely on the site’s own figures.</p>
<p>They say that the statistics and ratings are automatically calculated. So there is no chance for tipsters to cheat on their own results. This is good news, but it would also be nice to see some third party verification.</p>
<h2><strong> Will You Get Gubbed using Pyckio?</strong></h2>
<p>You can get <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/gubbing/">gubbed by bookies</a> for a variety of reasons. The bookies are quite secretive about how they do this. So you can never be sure whether you will get gubbed or not. Even when you get an <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/stop-bookmaker-accounts-being-limited-and-restricted/">account restricted</a>, it might not be clear why it has happened.</p>
<p>Generally, following tipsters isn’t that risky in terms of getting gubbed. This is because you are going to lose some bets and win some. To a bookmaker, you might not look all that different from a regular punter.</p>
<p>The more you win, the higher the risk of getting gubbed. But it probably shouldn’t be a major concern for you if you use this service.</p>
<h2><strong>Pyckio Review &#8211; Advantages</strong></h2>
<p>In this Pyckio review, we have looked at some positive issues. The following are a few of the key advantages to take into account.</p>
<ul>
<li>Easy to get started on.</li>
<li>Choose your tipster.</li>
<li>Lots of statistics, blog posts and other useful information.</li>
<li>Covers a variety of sports, including some not commonly seen on tipster sites.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Pyckio Review &#8211; Disadvantages<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>We have also covered some negative areas in this Pyckio review. Here are some of the main disadvantages of the service to take into account.</p>
<ul>
<li>It is quite expensive to subscribe to.</li>
<li>No free trial period is offered at the time of this Pyckio review.</li>
<li>There is also no option of signing up for a very short period, to give it a try.</li>
<li>Following the tips can be time-consuming.</li>
<li>Lack of independent reviews tracking their results.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Who Might It Suit?</strong></h2>
<p>Tipster services are generally popular with different types of bettor. You might want to find an easy way to place some bets. Or you could be looking for lots of stats and information to help you out.</p>
<p>This site seems best suited to someone who wants to dedicate a lot of time to betting. This is because there is a lot of information to plough through. It is especially true if you choose the Grand Master subscription. You will have access to a lot of tipsters in this case.</p>
<p>You could spend a lot of time looking at the data on here. Of course, this is something that some people enjoy and others don’t.</p>
<p>As always, tipster services don’t guarantee wins. You could get lucky with a winning streak or you could lose a few in a row. It isn’t something that suits someone who wants to always win. A strategy like <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-book/">matched betting</a> is more suitable in this case.</p>
<h2><strong>Pyckio Review: Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>This Pyckio review has looked at an interesting tipster service. If you want to place some bets it is worth taking into account.</p>
<p>Tipster sites like this aren’t right for everyone, though. You will want to have a think about whether it suits you. If you have time for it, then it could make betting a bit more enjoyable. But you probably shouldn’t expect to make a fortune in this way.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Can You Trust Tipsters and Should You Follow Them?</strong></h1>
<p>There are many different ways of deciding what bets to place. You may decide to do this by following tipsters. This is one of the most popular ways of betting. But does it make sense to do so?</p>
<p>There are loads of tipsters out there. They cover all different sports and have varying approaches. Some offer free tips and others charge handsomely for it. Some will provide numerous tips each day and others just one or two.</p>
<p>So what do you need to know about this to be able to trust them?</p>
<h2><strong>Why Do Tipsters Provide Tips?</strong></h2>
<p>What is the first thing you need to understand when deciding whether to trust someone? It is probably what their motivation is. What is this person gaining from me? You need to stop and think why a tipster is giving away or selling potentially valuable information. Wouldn’t it be smarter to keep it to themselves and make more money?</p>
<p>The first answer is to make money. If they can get a few hundred punters paying them each month, it makes sense. They can make a lot of money regularly with no risk. Even if their predictions are wrong, they still earn money.</p>
<p>Compare this to placing huge bets on their own tips. This would be extremely risky. Getting paid to provide tips lowers their exposure. Of course, if they lose consistently then the subscribers will eventually dry up.</p>
<p>You might think that a <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-paid-tipsters/">good tipster</a> makes millions from their knowledge. But the truth is that <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/how-much-money-do-tipsters-make/">most of them don’t</a>. One of their biggest problems is in placing bets. If they are known in the industry or win a lot, their <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/stop-bookmaker-accounts-being-limited-and-restricted/">bookie accounts will be suspended</a>. Selling tips might be their only way of benefiting from what they know.</p>
<p>Others like the adulation. Just imagine how great it would be to have people thanking you every week. Every time a tipster gets its right they are praised on forums and on social media. This must be very satisfying for them.</p>
<p>The previous points are the good reasons. These are tipsters whose interests align with your own. But there are others to be aware of.</p>
<p>For example, some tipsters are bookmaker affiliates. These are people whose main interest is in getting you to sign up with a bookie. They then get a percentage of your losses. You can’t expect a great service from someone who operates in this way.</p>
<p>So, the first step is to understand what category a tipster is in. If they are affiliates, the alarm bells should start ringing. Even if they aren’t dishonest as such, their motivation isn’t what you would want it to be.</p>
<h2><strong>Why Do People Trust Tipsters?</strong></h2>
<p>It is fairly easy to see why tipsters offer their services. But to know whether to trust them we need to dig deeper. The next step is to understand why people follow tipsters.</p>
<p>After all, there are plenty of other ways of betting these days. You could look for <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/value-betting/">value bets</a> or <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-book/">matched betting offers</a>. Isn’t tipping a bit old-fashioned?</p>
<p>The truth is that there are still a range of reasons for doing this. The following are some of the main ones.</p>
<ul>
<li>It is an easy way to place bets. You normally just wait for a daily email to come through. You then place your bet on the tip, if you want to. Some of them will even tell you how much to place and what odds you should get. If you aren’t convinced, just do nothing. This method can fit in with just about any lifestyle.</li>
<li>They tend to win more often than without tips. Or at least punters might think this. It is easy to remember the wins and forget the losses. So you might think that a tipster is more successful than is really the case. This is why it is so important to keep a good record of the bets placed and the results.</li>
<li>It is usually fairly low cost. Most tipsters offer a <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betting-gods-review/">reasonably priced service</a>. Some are even free. This means that it isn’t a big deal to subscribe to one of them. You are hoping to get more or less pure profit out of it. Even a losing month loses a bit of its edge when the information cost you little.</li>
<li>The feeling of being in the know. A lot of bettors like the feeling of getting tips. This is like getting one over the bookies with secret knowledge. You might feel as though you have your own secret source of insider info. Of course, this is only a benefit if you win more than you lose.</li>
<li>No training or experience is needed. Anyone can sign up and start betting on the tips received. You don’t know to know anything about the sport or about betting. If you are busy then this is a definite advantage. You don’t even know to know anything about how the tips are obtained.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Are There Good Tipsters?</strong></h2>
<p>There are tipsters out there with good track records. Some of them appear to have genuine insider info. Others use systems and databases to work out who to bet on. You can choose from sites that have a range of tipsters if you want to. This makes it easier to compare them.</p>
<p>The best ones are generally well-known in the industry It is almost impossible for a successful tipster to stay low profile. Many of them also come from a racing background and know a lot of the industry’s key figures.</p>
<p>People will be talking about them all over the internet before long too. If a new tipster starts ripping up trees you will see them mentioned a lot. More established tipsters can usually be researched online. You might find an old interview or a LinkedIn profile or something.</p>
<p>This doesn’t mean that a good tipster will always win you money. There is no such thing as a fail-proof tipster. They will all have losses. Some might even have long losing streaks.</p>
<p>It isn’t unknown for a big-name tipster to completely <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/dealing-with-losing-runs/">lose their mojo either</a>. Maybe the sources of information dry up. Perhaps their system stops working. You will probably never know why you stop winning if this happens.</p>
<p>In fact, this is one of the big issues with nearly all tipsters. You don’t know how they get their tips. If you don’t know how they do this, how can you trust them? All you can tell is that they have produced good figures in the past. Going forward, who knows?</p>
<p>You are really just trusting them based on past results. It is a sort of blind faith, as you don’t know how they are doing it. This is something that not everyone is comfortable with. It does add some extra excitement to the whole business, though.</p>
<h2><strong>Are These Scams and Fakes?</strong></h2>
<p>It’s time to look to the other side of the coin now. We know that there are good, genuine tipsters out there. But are there bad ones too? Of course there are. Just as there are poor choices in every industry. The key is in being able to spot them.</p>
<p>Before we look at scams and fakes, what about poor tipsters? These are people who genuinely try their best. But for whatever reason they lose more than they win. This sort of tipster isn’t going to make you money. Although they will probably win you some bets now and then.</p>
<p>These poor tipsters probably won’t try and fool you. But they still need to sound like confident winners. So they will try and show their results in the best possible light. They might be slow to update the details of a losing streak, for example.</p>
<p>Scams and frauds are less common but you should be wary of them. We saw earlier the type that is a bookie affiliate. This is probably the worst kind of tipster you will come across. You may also find dodgy offerings on social media or in your inbox.</p>
<p>The best approach is to be suspicious at first. Especially if they contact you out of the blue. Any tipster has to gain your trust. If you have doubts, just forget about them. There are plenty of others out there.</p>
<h2><strong>Should You Trust Tipsters Results?   </strong></h2>
<p>No tipster is going to tell you how bad they are. Even if they are low on confidence just now, they need to convince you otherwise. The results on their site can’t lie though. Or can they?</p>
<p>They all want you to believe that they give an easy way of making money. There are a number of ways that they do this.</p>
<ul>
<li>Selective use of results. It is impressive when you see a tipster holding a big winning cheque. Or when they tell about how many wins they have had in the last year. But how many bets have they lost? Anyone who places a lot of bets will eventually win some of them. You can only judge a betting service on its overall profitability. So you need to see all of their results for all of their rips.</li>
<li>Using old figures. Some tipsters have a hot streak for a month or a year or whatever. This is great, but you can’t judge them on just this. What has happened since then? What about before then? If a tipster shows old data or there are no dates on it, ask yourself why. If they had been as successful recently, you can be sure they would have updated their site.</li>
<li>Choosing lots of short odds favourites. Tipster can boost their figures very easily. Just choose lots of short odds favourites and some of them will win. There is no skill in this, as anyone can do it. Crucially, you won’t make any money from just choosing the favourites all the time. There has to be more to their offering than this.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>How to Choose One</strong></h2>
<p>As we have seen, there are a few factors to take into account. It can seem almost impossible to choose a tipster at first. They will all tell you how great they are and how much money you will make with them.</p>
<p>But we now know that the results will vary greatly. Choose the right tipster and you will probably stick with them for a while. Make the wrong choice and you will be looking for a new one before long.</p>
<p>Thankfully, there are some ways of making a good decision on this matter.</p>
<ul>
<li>Check out <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betting-system-reviews/">independent reviews</a>. What are other people saying about them? Some reviews will include details of a trial period with full results. This lets you see exactly how they perform. Does it match the tipster’s claims? Of course, the trial period might cover a particularly lucky or unlucky spell. But it is still a decent approach to seeing whether to expect a profit or not.</li>
<li>Read betting forums and social media. People usually aren’t slow to praise or criticise tipsters. You can find out a lot on social media and betting forums. Everyone’s experience is different, so don’t just take someone’s word for it. But this is a good way to get a feel for a service. If the majority are all saying the same thing it is probably true.</li>
<li>Use a free trial period. A lot of good tipsters offer you a free trial service. It might just be for a few days, but it can help you to decide. Take a look at what they offer. Does it look right for your needs? Above all, does it inspire confidence? You can then decide whether to pay for a longer period of tips.</li>
<li>Try their <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/olbg-review-will-the-tipsters-make-you-any-money/">free tips</a>. Another possibility is that they offer different levels of service. For example, some offer free tips. You can then upgrade to a paid subscription if you are impressed. This isn’t particularly common these days. And the free tips will be limited. But it is a good idea that is worth trying if you can.</li>
<li>Fully research their figures. If the tipster has listed their results, took a look at them. Are they recent and do they appear genuine? You will want to find regular wins at decent odds. The more details that are provided the better.</li>
<li>Take a look at their customer service. A good, professional tipster will probably give a high level of service. Look for customers praising the speed of their replies. You might even see their replies on the site or on social media. On the other hand, a poor level of service means they should be avoided.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Will You Make Money?</strong></h2>
<p>This is the most important point of all. And it is also the most difficult to answer. No tipster can guarantee you future wins. If they do then they aren’t being completely honest with you.</p>
<p>The nature of their business means that you never know what is around the corner. Last month’s wins are history and you need the same again this month.</p>
<p>All you can do is assess what they offer and their track record. If they have a good system it should be clear from past profits. In this case, you would expect the wins to keep on coming. Some tipsters manage to maintain a high level of consistency. Others will vary greatly from one month to the next.</p>
<p>This is the main reason that tipsters don’t suit everyone. Most people want to see wins pretty much all the time. They get disappointed with a run of losing tips. It is easy to then think that you would be just as well choosing your own bets.</p>
<p>You can’t look on this as a guaranteed way of making money. You will lose from time to time. So your bankroll management is extremely important. Some tipsters will give you guidance on this but others won’t.</p>
<h2><strong>Can You Trust Tipsters?</strong></h2>
<p>Let’s go back to the initial question. Can you trust tipsters? We have seen that some can be trusted and some can’t.</p>
<p>But let’s narrow it down further. What can they be trusted to do? They can’t be trusted to always give you wins. No one can promise you this.</p>
<p>All that a good tipster can do is promise to deliver an honest service. They will do their best to make you money. They will try and look after your interests and give you honest advice in good faith.</p>
<p>What if you find a tipster like this who also has a decent track record? To be fair, it is about as much as you can expect.</p>
<h2><strong>Can You Trust Tipsters &amp; should you follow them?</strong></h2>
<p>Having discussed this subject at length, we finally reach the key point. Should you follow a tipster? It really comes down to personal preference. It is clear that winning bets like this is pretty exciting. But making a profit is difficult to do. Especially when you need to pay a membership fee each week or month.</p>
<p>If you are tempted to use a tipster then just remember what we have looked at. All you can do is find one that inspires your confidence and seems profitable. After that, it is all about trying to make money and getting through the losing streaks.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Templegate Racing Tips Review (Sun Newspaper)<br />
</strong></h1>
<p>Do you want regular, free tips that are easy to follow? If you do, then you might decide to follow a newspaper tipster. Templegate is one of the best-known tipsters of this type in the UK.</p>
<p>His tips are featured every day in The Sun. So, you can easily give him a try. However, it worth checking the full details first of all. Is this the kind of service that will make you money? Take a look at this Templegate Racing tips review and see whether this tipster is worth following.</p>
<h2><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-28407" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Templegate-racing-review-1024x505.png" alt="Templegate racing review" width="600" height="296" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Templegate-racing-review-1024x505.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Templegate-racing-review-300x148.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Templegate-racing-review-768x379.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Templegate-racing-review-1536x758.png 1536w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Templegate-racing-review.png 2046w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></strong></h2>
<h2><strong>What Is the Templegate Tipster Service?</strong></h2>
<p>This is a <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-paid-tipsters/">tipster service</a> that is featured in The Sun. At the time of the Templegate Racing tips review, he is mainly covering French and Hong Kong races. In normal times, he looks mostly at UK and Irish racing, though.</p>
<p>With no British racing on the go due to the <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-and-coronavirus/">lockdown</a>, Templegate is looking further afield. However, his style is still pretty much the same. He briefly looks at the main contenders in each race.</p>
<p>You will see who he thinks will win. And then the others that should be in contention. That’s all there is to it. Anyone can look at this column and follow the tips.</p>
<h2><strong>What Does It Provide?</strong></h2>
<p>This is a very simple <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/horse-racing-tipsters/">horse tipping service</a>. Templegate provides his opinion on the day’s big races. He is usually pretty clear on which horse he thinks will win. The other main contenders are then briefly mentioned. Expect to see about half a dozen races most days.</p>
<p>The first horse in his preview is the one he thinks will win. He doesn’t tend to talk about price, though. This is probably because he knows that punters will all read the tips at different times. There is no way that he can give exact prices to everyone.</p>
<p>These aren’t <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/value-betting/">value bets</a>. So time isn’t really of the essence. You aren’t trying to grab good odds before they change.</p>
<p>The analysis isn’t particularly detailed. Just two or three lines about the form for each horse. There is nothing complicated or too technical about it. You will then see the full list of expected winners at the bottom.</p>
<p>This tipster’s format has changed a bit in recent times. As we look further, we will see why this happened. It turns that there is a rather obvious reason for this happening</p>
<h2><strong>Who Is Behind It?</strong></h2>
<p>For this Templegate Racing tips review, I did some research on who this tipster is. The Sun website doesn’t seem to mention his real name anywhere in the columns.</p>
<p>With a bit of digging, I found the name of Steve Jones. He says that he is Templegate. This information is on his LinkedIn profile. He says on there that he has been doing this since 2004. Before that, he was a race analyst and a writer for Sporting Life.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28409 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/templegate-Tipster-Steve-Jones.jpg" alt="templegate Tipster Steve Jones" width="400" height="400" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/templegate-Tipster-Steve-Jones.jpg 400w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/templegate-Tipster-Steve-Jones-300x300.jpg 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/templegate-Tipster-Steve-Jones-150x150.jpg 150w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/templegate-Tipster-Steve-Jones-256x256.jpg 256w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>However, this information is now out of date. Steve is now in charge of the Value Scope of the Daily Mirror. He was Templegate but has now handed over the baton to someone else.</p>
<p>I then found some interviews with Steve at the end of 2019. He says in them that he left the role just before that. He seems to have started with The Mirror at the start of October 2019.</p>
<p>Therefore, it seems that someone else is now providing the tips under the Templegate name. And has been doing so for the best part of a year.</p>
<p>In the Betfair forum, some users confirm that Steve moved over to The Mirror. I then found <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/horseracing/9728175/steve-mullen-ready-to-help-you-beat-the-bookies-as-the-new-templegate/">this article in The Sun</a> confirming the switch. In August 2019, Steve Mullen took over as the new Templegate.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28410 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Steve-Mullen-Templegate-Tipster-1024x564.png" alt="Steve Mullen Templegate Tipster" width="1024" height="564" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Steve-Mullen-Templegate-Tipster-1024x564.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Steve-Mullen-Templegate-Tipster-300x165.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Steve-Mullen-Templegate-Tipster-768x423.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Steve-Mullen-Templegate-Tipster.png 1210w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>He had previously worked for The Sun as their Wizard of Odds. Steve says that he has had a life-long love of horse racing. This started when he won at 13-1 as a 9 year old kid at Aintree.</p>
<p>It turns out that he is the seventh Templegate tipster in half a century. The new tipster has written for Raceform and his own horse racing magazine. He also worked briefly in a bookies. Steve puts his strategy down to hard work rather than racetrack whispers.</p>
<p>Therefore, Templegate is simply a nickname that passes from one tipster to another. There is no single person that uses this name to publish their horse racing tips.</p>
<h2><strong>H</strong><strong>ow Much Does It Cost?</strong></h2>
<p>This is a completely free tipster service. There is no subscription fee and no obligation. You don’t even need to sign up, give them your email address or do anything similar.</p>
<p>Basically, you can just choose to follow his tips whenever you choose to. If you to place a bet on a certain day, just look up the column. There, you will see a list of tips to choose from.</p>
<p>Of course, if you buy the newspaper solely for his tips there is a cost. The Sun currently costs 55p during the week and 75p on Saturdays. However, you can find these tips online too. What I couldn’t see is whether there is a substantial time lag before they go on the site.</p>
<p>There are no additional services you can pay for. It is just a once size fits all approach covered in this Templegate Racing tips review. Everyone who reads the newspaper gets exactly the same information.</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Make Money?</strong></h2>
<p>No tipster can guarantee to give you constant wins. Even the best of them have losing streaks. If the tips are free, the chances of winning money reduce slightly. The tipsters with the best track records charge for their predictions. This is not <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-book/">Matched Betting</a>.</p>
<p>In terms of this Templegate Racing tips review, it is fair to say that many of his picks are at fairly short odds. You won’t see too many big priced horses in this column. So it suits someone with a low risk approach. It also means that the strike rate is higher than you might expect.</p>
<p>One point worth noting is that there isn’t a huge drop in prices for his tips. This is commonly seen with the biggest tipsters. When they publish their choices, punters rush to bet on those horses. This causes the price to drop before the race starts.</p>
<p>It seems a little strange that this doesn’t happen with Templegate. After all, he is the tipster on the most popular paid-for newspaper in the country. It suggests that there isn’t a stampede to follow his tips.</p>
<p>There is a feeling that there are too many tips covered. It can’t be easy for any tipster to research several races every day. Most will offer fewer tips than this one provides. Some of them will only give you one a day.</p>
<p>It could be that fewer tips would provide higher quality. Giving so many tips could lead to a scattergun approach. It is also probably also tempting to take the easy approach and pad out the numbers with some easy wins.</p>
<p>You may very well come out ahead financially. But most trial periods I could see ended with a small loss. There probably isn’t a huge difference between using these tips and simply look for the best-priced horses.</p>
<p>If you are smart about it, you could use these tips together with other sources. This might help you to narrow down the choice. Certainly, betting on every Templegate tip isn’t a great idea. If you can use them as a guide it might work, though.</p>
<h2><strong>How Many Bookies and How Many Sports / Markets Are Included?</strong></h2>
<p>This tipster service is all about horse racing, with no other sports covered. The Sun has other tipsters that look at different sports like football.</p>
<p>Normally, the Templegate selection only covers British races. However, with no races here at the time of writing, he is looking elsewhere.</p>
<p>The day I finished this Templegate Racing tips review, he was looking at French races. Before that it was Hong Kong. I could also see his American race predictions online. So there has been a lot of variety lately.</p>
<p>It can’t be easy jumping between markets like this. I don’t know much research he puts in to each of his tips. But it seems unlikely that he – or anyone – is an expert in all of these markets.</p>
<p>It looks like covering other markets is just a helpful move for readers. This is a way to give punters something to read and to bet on during these times. Once things settle down in the UK, I expect him to go back to British racing.</p>
<p>It also isn’t clear what tools the tipster uses. The Templegate section has been going for 50 years. So I would expect The Sun to have a big database. This should cover results and other data. You would think that he has one of the best sets of data in the business.</p>
<h2><strong>What Are Other People Saying About It?</strong></h2>
<p>Other Templegate Racing tip reviews are mixed, to be honest. Most reviewers appear to have lost money slightly during their trial periods. However, he is given leeway due to the fact that he has to produce so many daily tips. The results could certainly be a lot worse with such a high volume.</p>
<p>I mentioned earlier in this Templegate Racing tips review that the tipster has changed. Some forum comments talk about the tips format changing. The general feeling is that the tips are a bit poorer now too.</p>
<p>Yet, the strike rate has remained very similar over time. The number of winners hasn’t declined with the new guy behind the desk.</p>
<p>Before the switch, it was usually between 23% and 26% each month. Since then, it is a very similar strike rate. So, the difference is minimal.</p>
<p>Perhaps the biggest issue in Templegate Racing tip reviews is that some people feel the tips are more rushed. They mention a tendency to use fairly obvious favourites. This leads to poorer odds and smaller wins than before. It does seem a bit harsh to use this against such a prolific tipster, though.</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Get Gubbed using Templegate Racing Tips?</strong></h2>
<p>You certainly don’t want your bookie accounts to get <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/gubbing/">gubbed</a>. This can rob you of the chance to get hold of offers and bonuses. Will it happen to you if you use Templegate tips?</p>
<p>The truth is that it probably won’t. For a start, there is no guarantee that you will win more than you lose. If you make the bookmaker more money then they will be happy to keep you. They don’t tend to restrict losing punters.</p>
<p>This is true for most tipster services. Since there aren’t guaranteed wins, the bookie won’t fear you.</p>
<p>It is difficult for any bookie to know if you are using this service too. The large number of tips means you are unlikely to follow them all. So, it won’t be clear that you are following Templegate’s tips. You will also be mainly betting on short odds horses.</p>
<p>All in all, I wouldn’t be too concerned about getting gubbed. Winning enough money to trouble the bookies is a bigger concern.</p>
<h2><strong>Advantages of Templegate Racing Tips</strong></h2>
<p>This Templegate Racing tips review has looked at both good and bad points. It is now time to weigh them up. This will let us make an overall judgement on the tips service. We can start with some of the positives.</p>
<ul>
<li>This is a free tipster service. You don’t need to sign up for anything or pay a penny for it.</li>
<li>It is very easy to understand. The daily tips are short and simple. If you have never bet before, you will have nothing to fear.</li>
<li>The tips are available online and in print. You can find the same tips in both places.</li>
<li>He has a decent strike rate. The number of winners is good, and fairly consistent too. You shouldn’t lose too much money with these horses.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Disadvantages of the Templegate Tipster<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>There are also some negatives in this Templegate Racing tips review. The following are some of the main drawbacks to bear in mind.</p>
<ul>
<li>The tips typically feature low odds. You won’t see many selections at long odds. So don’t expect to win a fortune on any race. They are all solid, sensible selections rather than inspired bets.</li>
<li>The column doesn’t feature recommended odds. You need to make your own decisions on this. This may be awkward for newcomers.</li>
<li>No starting bank or recommended stakes are mentioned. Again, you will need to work this matter out on your own. Paid tipsters will usually give you some guidance on this subject.</li>
<li>No detailed analysis is provided. You might prefer a tipster who gives you detailed analysis on their choice. This one tends to be short and fairly generic.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Who Might </strong><strong>Templegate Racing Tips </strong><strong>Suit?</strong></h2>
<p>It isn’t clear how many punters currently use this service. The fact that the tips don’t seem to greatly affect the odds is a surprise. Perhaps readers of The Sun just pick the odd selection rather than follow all of his tips.</p>
<p>My research shows there is approximately 26,000 searches for Templegate Racing Tips each month showing it&#8217;s popular.</p>
<p>Who don’t more people use these tips? We have seen in this Templegate Racing tips review that the strike rate is decent. The truth is that it doesn’t suit all of us.</p>
<p>It is clear that not everyone will find it suitable. For example, you might prefer to always win your bets. This means that you will lean more towards matched betting. No tipster can compete with the guaranteed profits it brings you ever time.</p>
<p>Or you might like to see more detailed analysis on the horses. There are other services you will prefer in that case. Some tipsters give you page after page of analysis. Other sites give you lots of advanced tools to use, or an extensive database.</p>
<p>What about the type of person who might find this ideal? It probably suits a casual punter. This is someone who doesn’t take betting too seriously. They just want to find easy tips without too much hard work.</p>
<p>What if you like betting but don’t want to spend a lot of time on it? This is a decent choice. You can very quickly get a feel for a race. The analysis is straight to the point. So, in a matter of minutes you have a reasonable grasp of the favourites.</p>
<p>Since Templegate is in The Sun and their website every day, it is very simple to use. You just need to look for the column. You will know that all of his selections have a reasonable chance of winning.</p>
<p>A certain horse or race might catch your eye. You are unlikely to want to bet on all of the selections. But there is nothing to stop you from doing this.</p>
<h2><strong>Templegate Racing Tips Review: Conclusion<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>This is one of the UK’s best known tipsters. With free daily tips in The Sun, millions of people see it. As such, it is difficult to compare it with other betting services. This is a light, easy to digest tipster that sometimes gets it right.</p>
<p>We have seen in this Templegate racing review that you aren’t going to get rich by following these tips. But you probably won’t lose too much either. So, it is a service that you might decide to try now and again. However, if you are serious about making money this isn’t the way. You need to look at something like matched betting or value bets instead.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Proform Racing Review<br />
</strong></h1>
<p>Proform Racing is described as being the UK’s leading provider of horse racing software. It is certainly a well-respected service. But does it deserve this title? And is it right for you? To find out, we need to look at in depth.</p>
<p>Let’s take a look at what is offered and what it costs in this Proform Racing Review. This will let you see whether it is worth giving a try.</p>
<h2><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28400 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform-Racing.png" alt="Proform Racing" width="558" height="208" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform-Racing.png 558w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform-Racing-300x112.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px" /></strong></h2>
<h2><strong>What Is Proform Racing?</strong></h2>
<p>This service covers UK and Irish horse racing. The Proform Racing software is packed with details and statistics on races. You can use it to select horses and find bets to make. You can also read through lots of information and updates.</p>
<p>In fact, at first sight you might find it a bit overwhelming. There is a lot of information to take in and to use. However, you could start by looking at just one aspect. For instance looking for the fastest horse in a particular race.</p>
<p>The site also has quite a lot of informational content to get you started. If you have time and patience, you will get to grips with it.</p>
<p>In fact, the service is probably ideal for someone with a lot of time on their hands. If you want to really delve deeply into horse racing, you will find plenty of useful information here.</p>
<p>It is mobile-optimised too. So, you can search through their giant database of form and results wherever you are. We will go into more detail on what they offer in the rest of this Proform Racing Review.</p>
<h2><strong>What Does It Provide?</strong></h2>
<p>There is a lot to go through here. The service is divided into different sections. You don’t need to use them all if you don’t want to.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28401 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform_Form_Book-1024x576.png" alt="Proform Form Book" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform_Form_Book-1024x576.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform_Form_Book-300x169.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform_Form_Book-768x432.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform_Form_Book-1536x864.png 1536w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform_Form_Book.png 1599w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>We can start this Proform Racing Review with their race guide. This gives you the Proform power ratings. These are said to offer a reliable way of finding the winner. According to their site, 60% of race winners are in their top 3 rated horses.</p>
<p>You can use this guide to identify those horses that are most suited to the race. Which horse is most likely to enjoy the distance and going? What jockey and trainer stats do you need to know?</p>
<p>The power ratings are probably the most useful aspect for those who want to analyse races. They give you a quick guide to who is most likely to win. But there is a lot more to it than that.</p>
<p>There are tons of other details here for you to go through. For example, you can see a draw bias and a pace map. The sheer volume of data is a bit of a shock at first. But it is all neatly presented and easy to read. You should soon get the hang of the simple, graphical displays.</p>
<h2>Proform Racing Speed Ratings</h2>
<p>The speed ratings give you one of the most important sources of information. This is a non-weight adjusted rating of how fast they are. It lets you see how quickly each horse ran the last time out. You can see this on a scale of 0 to 100.</p>
<p>You can also see whether the handicapping on a horse is right. A simple figure tells you if the current handicap is above or below what it should be. By now, you should start to get a more complete picture of each race.</p>
<p>Their daily stats give you a regular source of hundreds of reports. Free members can only see part of this. If you have a paid membership then you will have loads of new statistics every day.</p>
<p>You don’t need to go through all of these details to make a bet, though. A simpler option with Proform Racing is to use their bet, lay and trade finder. This is a tool that lets you find possible bets very quickly.</p>
<p>It includes hundreds of filters, to narrow down your selection. Some of the features on this bet finder are pretty interesting. These include a way of seeing how your current filters would have fared on previous races.</p>
<p>Once you have found the bets to make, you can follow the action here. They will automatically give live updates and results. As with the guide section, there is a massive amount of stats here for you to use.</p>
<p>Paid members on the platinum level get access to years of historical data. Again, this is probably only useful for certain users. Not everyone has the time or inclination to go through so much information.</p>
<p>Details are updated each night. This means that it is recommended that you place your bets the night before races. Hopefully, this will give you the best odds.</p>
<h2>Who Is Behind It?</h2>
<p>For this Proform Racing review, we took a few steps back in time to see its beginnings. This company has been around for about 20 years. The man behind it is called Simon Walton. He started Proform when he was 30 but says that was betting long before that.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-28402 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/simon-walton-Proform-Racing.jpg" alt="simon walton Proform Racing" width="157" height="157" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/simon-walton-Proform-Racing.jpg 157w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/simon-walton-Proform-Racing-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 157px) 100vw, 157px" /></p>
<p>Walton is a computer programmer when he started working. He later discovered that his programming skills could be used for horse racing analysis. The breakthrough came when he read how analysts manually wrote out speed rating cards. This let him combine his work with his love for horse racing.</p>
<p>He realised that he could use the same manual process but make it computerised. This led to the first version of Proform being created. It was free to use and gained a decent degree of popularity in the 1990s.</p>
<p>It was only after being made redundant that Walton decided to get serious. At this point, he set up a company to offer a paid version of Proform Racing. The product has grown a lot since those early days, of course.</p>
<p>Walton says that he still uses the Power Ratings to bet every day. He is based in Yorkshire and lists golf as one of his other main passions.</p>
<p>The company was incorporated in 2000. It is based in Halifax. You can find Proform on Twitter and Facebook, as well as on their own site.</p>
<h2><strong>H</strong><strong>ow Much Does It Cost?</strong></h2>
<p>You could use Proform Racing for free. However, this gives you a very limited set of features. If you prefer a paid subscription, there are a few different ways of doing it.</p>
<p>The free option is a decent starting point to give it a try. But if you are serious about making the most of this service, you will probably want a paid subscription.</p>
<p>There are a few different levels to choose from.</p>
<ul>
<li>24 hour access. You pay £10 to get access to the service for a day. This gives you speed ratings, form ratings, daily stats and more.</li>
<li>1 week access. £20 gives you the visual race guides. This is similar to the previous package. But it doesn’t include the bet finder or the daily stats.</li>
<li>4 week access. At the time of this Proform Racing review, 4 weeks costs £50. This is the same package as the previous one.</li>
<li>Platinum membership. This is their most complete package. It costs £195 for 8 weeks.</li>
</ul>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-28403 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform-Racing-price-1024x307.png" alt="Proform Racing price" width="1024" height="307" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform-Racing-price-1024x307.png 1024w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform-Racing-price-300x90.png 300w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform-Racing-price-768x230.png 768w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Proform-Racing-price.png 1162w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>The Platinum level is clearly quite expensive. It is something that isn’t right for everyone. However, it does add in some very useful extra details. For example, you get access to their 17 year database.</p>
<p>Platinum members also get other features. These include their form book, horse watcher and ratings importer. This level might be too complete and too pricey for a lot of people. It is aimed at people who are pretty serious about horse racing.</p>
<p>This is the sort of package a pro punter or tipster would use. It is arguably the most complete horse racing data service around.</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Make Money?</strong></h2>
<p>The big question is whether you will make any money with Proform Racing. This is something that is difficult to give a straight answer to. No Proform Racing Review can guarantee how much you will win. This is not <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-book/">Matched Betting</a>.</p>
<p>The software is designed to let you find out lots of relevant details. You can then choose which horse to bet on. Therefore, there is no profit level that every user can expect to get.</p>
<p>There are so many different ways of using this. The variety of filters means that you will get unique results. You aren’t just looking for tips here.</p>
<p>Therefore, the first point to bear in mind is what information you look for. If you choose the right factors, you have more chance of success. But if you filter on the wrong details, the results won’t be so useful.</p>
<p>Then there is the question of interpreting the information that comes back. You need to know how to choose the right horse eventually. All the data in the world won’t help if you make a poor decision.</p>
<h2>Bet Finder</h2>
<p>The bet finder makes the process of choosing a horse quicker. But you are still using filters to narrow things down. So we can’t see a simple ROI figure the way you can with tipsters.</p>
<p>Since this service has been around for so long, it seems safe to assume people use it. Their site has some user testimonials on it. But no one mentions exact profits.</p>
<p>I found an interview with Simon Walton from 2018. He mentioned over 1000 points in profit when backing all top-rated horses in 2017.</p>
<p>Other Proform Racing Reviews mention a variety of results. Most show good ROI and strike rates. The ROI seems to average out at between 12% and 20% or so. The strike rate is typically 25% upwards.</p>
<p>Naturally, your results depend upon numerous factors. These include the filters you use, the final decisions you make and how many bets you place. Having said that, it seems that profits can be made if you use it wisely.</p>
<h2><strong>How Many Bookies and How Many Sports / Markets Are Included?</strong></h2>
<p>This service focuses purely on <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/horse-racing-tipsters/">UK and Irish horse racing</a>. No other sports or markets are included. However, it covers a huge number of races every day. These include the flat season and jumps too.</p>
<p>Once you identify a bet, you need to place the bet yourself. This means looking for the bookie with the best odds. You can’t just link directly to the betting slip from this tool.</p>
<p>The latest version of the software includes Betfair prices. This can be especially useful if you planning to trade or place a lay bet.</p>
<p>Overall, it gives a pretty independent way of betting. All you are doing it using the service to find horses that you think will win. You then search for the best odds.</p>
<h2><strong>What Are Other People Saying About It?</strong></h2>
<p>The long-running nature of this service means that there are plenty of Proform Racing Reviews. Most of them are pretty positive. It is clear that this is a highly respected tool.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier in this Proform Racing review, their site also has testimonials on it. As you would expect, these are all positive.</p>
<p>In terms of independent Proform Racing reviews, we can spot some trends. For example, people tend to be impressed by the range of filters. Reviewers like to be able to search for exactly what they want.</p>
<p>Of course, these reviewers are generally horse racing experts. So it is natural that they are excited with such powerful software. Newcomers also enjoy it, although some have noted that it takes time to get used to.</p>
<p>On the negative side, the cost is sometimes mentioned. This isn’t a cheap option. Instead, it is a fairly expensive and comprehensive approach. So, it is more suited to people who are serious about betting.</p>
<h2><strong>Will You Get Gubbed using Proform Racing?</strong></h2>
<p>Getting <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/gubbing/">gubbed</a> is one of the great fears with any betting tool. What are the possibilities of this happening with Proform Racing?</p>
<p>The good news is that it would be virtually impossible for bookies to know you are using this tool. You aren’t just blindly following a set of tips. Instead, you are using their tools to find horses to bet on.</p>
<p>If you win a lot then the bookies might still restrict you, of course. Therefore, we can’t say that you will never be gubbed. However, it would be as a result of your success rather than directly because of this tool.</p>
<p>Most people will still lose enough to avoid this, though. If you use it wisely, you can make money without getting gubbed.</p>
<h2><strong>Advantages of Proform Racing</strong></h2>
<p>This Proform Racing review has covered quite a few positive points. The following are the most important.</p>
<ul>
<li>An extremely comprehensive range of information. This tool has an incredible amount of racing information.</li>
<li>Free membership lets you get started. This can be a good way of getting to grips with the system.</li>
<li>Good support. This site is known to offer a professional support service. It is available by email and they respond quickly.</li>
<li>A strong history of wins. The statistics for this service show that they can be trusted to find regular winners.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Disadvantages of Proform Racing<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>The advantages above are just part of the story. We now need to look at some disadvantages in this Proform Racing review.</p>
<ul>
<li>It can take some time to get used to it. The amount of statistics can make this awkward to get started with.</li>
<li>The cost for the full membership is quite high. Free membership is quite rather limited, though.</li>
<li>Fairly time-consuming to use. This is possibly the biggest drawback for a lot of people. It requires quite a lot of time if you want to research races fully.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Who Might It Suit?</strong></h2>
<p>There is no <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/betting-system-reviews/">betting system</a> that is perfect for everyone. This is because we all look for different things from this sort of service.</p>
<p>In this Proform Racing review, we have seen factors that help us work out who it suits. For instance, someone who loves going through stats will enjoy it. It will suit someone who has the time to do this thoroughly too.</p>
<p>Maybe you like the idea of hunting for the <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-paid-tipsters/">best bets</a>. You are more likely to use this system if you are comfortable interpreting results. You make the final decision on each wager.</p>
<p>The fairly high cost means that it only makes sense for frequent bettors. You will want to place enough bets to come out ahead. So you need a <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/build-your-bankroll-from-scratch/">big enough bank</a> to deal with the <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/dealing-with-losing-runs/">inevitable losses</a> now and then.</p>
<p>Who won’t it suit then? From the previous points, we can narrow it down to the following. Someone who wants to be given tips and doesn’t want to spend too much time on it. Or someone who never wants to lose and doesn’t place too many bets.</p>
<h2><strong>Proform Racing Review: Conclusion<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>For some horse racing fans, this is a tool that is interesting as well as useful. It gives them a chance to get huge amounts of data in one place. For serious bettors with big banks, this is a solid approach.</p>
<p>Yet, it is also easy to see in this Proform Racing Review why it isn’t right for everyone. Casual bettors and those looking for easy profits probably won’t be so impressed. The free membership option means that it may be worth a try, though.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Twitter offers a great platform for receiving instant, concise messages.  What about sports tipsters, though? You might have already seen a few of them using this platform. Twitter also gives you a way of following them too.  However, it is important to be aware that not all Twitter tipsters are reliable. We can start with some horse racing tipsters on Twitter. After that, we will move on to look at some tipsters who advise on football matches. </p>

<p>Twitter offers a great platform for receiving instant, concise messages. This means that it is useful on a wide range of subjects. People typically use it for staying up to date with current trends and debates.</p>

<p>What about <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/best-paid-tipsters/">sports tipsters</a>, though? You might have already seen a few of them using this platform. Twitter also gives you a way of following them too. The speed and the short nature of tweets certainly make this a suitable medium.</p>
<p>The fact that many offer free information is also important. You can find free tips that let you bet without subscribing to a paid service. This gives you flexibility to move between Twitter tipsters as you see fit, too.</p>
<p>However, it is important to be aware that not all Twitter tipsters are reliable. There are many on here that you should steer clear of. Therefore, you might like to see which of the following recommended tipsters suit you best.</p>
<p>We can start with some <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/horse-racing-tipsters/">horse racing tipsters</a> on Twitter. After that, we will move on to look at some tipsters who advise on football matches. Before that, let’s see why I suggest avoiding some types of tipping service on Twitter.</p>
<h2><strong>Avoid Scams and Poor Tipsters</strong></h2>
<p>There are lots of poor tipsters out there. Many of them are simply scam artists. Others are just not as good at predicting outcomes as you want them to be. You can’t just rely on any account because it looks professional.</p>
<p>These tipsters also include bookie affiliates sites who just encourage you to place more bets. This is the type of account to avoid. They are just interested in getting you to sign up with a certain bookie. You might get some wins from them. But you are unlikely to receive the best advice overall.</p>
<p>You can spot an affiliate account pretty easily. They will always give tips based on odds from a certain bookie or two. All they are really interested in is earning commission from that bookie.</p>
<p>Others are newcomers with no valuable information to pass on. They might have good intentions. However, a serious tipster needs to have a lot of experience and contacts. You can’t just start giving tips because you like the sport.</p>
<p>Others fake their supposed results to make them look more impressive. Be careful about following anyone who blows their own trumpet too much. The best tipsters are used to getting it right. It is easy for anyone to claim to be a tipster on Twitter. But you need them to prove it.</p>
<p>If a Twitter account has very few followers, this is a bad sign. A good tipster with a strong reputation should have a decent amount of followers. Word gets around about reliable tipsters. Even a relatively new user will quickly gain followers if they are good.</p>
<p>In the same way, most long tipsters have been around for a long time. If the Twitter account is new then ask yourself why it has now appeared. Where have they been all this time before now? If the tipster has just moved to Twitter, they should bring their existing followers over.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Choose a Twitter Tipster</strong></h2>
<p>How do you know which Twitter account to follow? There are so many to choose from it can be confusing.</p>
<p>We have already seen a few of the main points to bear in mind. Let’s put them together in a list to make it easier to follow.</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose a well-respected tipster. These people are generally industry experts who appear on TV or in newspapers columns / blogs. If you have never heard of a tipster it is difficult to trust them. Look for someone you have heard of. If you know who the person behind it is, it will be easier to trust them. You can also see how highly regarded they are.</li>
<li>Look for the number of followers. If the tipster has few followers, it is a sign that they aren’t well-known. However, if they have a lot, it will be hard to get the best prices on their tips. You should look for a reasonable number of followers.</li>
<li>Research them. The best accounts in this field are from people who are active in the industry. They may have their own sports website. Or maybe they regularly appear on TV or in the newspapers. This means that you should be able to find some useful information on them. Are they generally considered to be experts in their field or not?</li>
<li>Choose more than one account to follow. If you plan on placing a lot of bets, you will want more than one tipster. This lets you compare how you fare with each of them. You can then stick with the best one. It takes a bit more time to do this but it is worth it.</li>
<li>Don’t dive in. I wouldn’t recommend finding a tipster and then starting to place bets right away. You should check out their past results and read some reviews. This will let you proceed with confidence when you are ready.</li>
<li>Be open to change. This is a flexible way of following tipsters. You can easily switch between them at any point. There is nothing to tie you to any one in particular. This gives you a lot of freedom to operate in the way that suits you.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>The Best Horse Racing Tipsters on Twitter </strong></h2>
<h2><strong>@HughRacing</strong></h2>
<p>The first account to look at here is from Hugh Taylor. He uses the Twitter handle <a href="https://twitter.com/HughRacing">@HughRacing</a> for his tips. At the time of writing he has over 36,000 followers. Hugh has been on Twitter since 2010 and is very active.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-27056 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/horse-racing-tipster.jpg" alt="horse racing tipster" width="620" height="413" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/horse-racing-tipster.jpg 620w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/horse-racing-tipster-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></p>
<p><a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-and-coronavirus/">With no races just now</a>, he has been posting quiz questions and memories. This makes for some entertaining posts. When racing is going on, he regularly posts tips on Twitter. These come in the form of links to the At the Races website that he is featured on.</p>
<p>His results are mixed, to be fair. However, it is worth pointing out that part of this is due to this huge fanbase. When we posts a tip, the markets move very quickly as many people follow him.</p>
<p>This makes it difficult to get the recommended price on his horses. You will only want to use Hugh if you are quick. You need to be ready to place your bet as soon as he tweets it. Otherwise, the opportunity for a good price will be gone.</p>
<h2><strong>@kevinblake2011</strong></h2>
<p>The next name to add to the list is Kevin Blake. Posting as <a href="https://twitter.com/kevinblake2011">@kevinblake2011</a>, he has close to 40,000 Twitter followers. He has been using the social media platform since 2010.</p>
<p>Kevin is a big name in the horse racing world. He has written for Betfair and appears on ITV Racing too. You can find him on At the Races as well. So he is a well-known and highly-respected tipster worth listening to.</p>
<p>His Twitter feed covers a lot of ground. For example, you will see links to varied articles and interviews. It is clear that he is very knowledgeable about horse racing. He also has a lot of top contacts in the industry. So his tips are usually built on something pretty solid.</p>
<p>This is a good Twitter account to follow if you want more than just tips. You can learn a huge amount about racing just by reading his tweets. It’s a good choice for a newcomer to racing or someone who wants to delve deeper.</p>
<h2><strong>@RacingTrends </strong></h2>
<p>Tony Keenan runs another Twitter account for you to look out for. He tweets as <a href="https://twitter.com/racingtrends">@RacingTrends</a> and currently has about 14,600 followers. He opened his Twitter account in 2009, but perhaps isn’t yet as well-known as the previous experts.</p>
<p>Tony has a good record on predicting the outcome of horse races. He appears to be especially good on Irish races. Away from his tweeting of tips, he also writes for various sites. These include Betfair, At the Races and GeeGeez.</p>
<p>He has claimed some excellent wins with his tips in the past. In fact, he might be the best option on this list for some people. Part of the reason for this is that he has a smaller set of followers. So, fewer people see his tips and act on them. This stops the price being affected and value being lost.</p>
<h2><strong>The Best Football Tipsters on Twitter &#8211; @MarkOHaire</strong></h2>
<p>Footie analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/markohaire">Mark O’Haire</a> has gathered over 26,000 Twitter followers since 2010. He is behind the WeLoveBetting site and also writes for sites like 188bet.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-27542 aligncenter" src="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/football-betting.jpg" alt="football betting" width="524" height="350" srcset="https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/football-betting.jpg 600w, https://mikecruickshank.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/football-betting-300x201.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px" /></p>
<p>He points out a lot of useful tips in different football betting markets. For instance, he has covered a lot of Asian handicap tips. He tweets regularly too, so expect a lot of information in this way.</p>
<p>Mark is clearly someone whose opinion is worth listening to. It’s not all tips on his feed, though. You will see lots of interesting statistics and throwback videos too. This means it is pretty entertaining to follow him.</p>
<h2><strong>@</strong><strong>WeLoveBetting</strong></h2>
<p>We looked at Mark O’Haire earlier. Well, <a href="https://twitter.com/welovebettinguk">this is the account</a> for the betting company he runs. This account started in 2012 and has 21,000 followers to date.</p>
<p>There is a lot of useful information and tips on here. With no football going on in most leagues, there is mainly throwback fun just now. However, they are also keeping up with the action in the Belarus league.</p>
<p>There are various contributors to this account. It isn’t just a copy of Mark’s own Twitter. This means a nice variety of opinions and tips are to be seen here. You could easily follow this and his personal account too if you want to.</p>
<h2><strong>@Matchbook</strong></h2>
<p>This one is a bit different, as it isn’t really from a tipster. Matchbook is a betting exchange that also has a Twitter account. They have over 28,000 followers and have been active since 2011.</p>
<p>While they aren’t tipsters, they tweet some interesting stuff. They cover different sports and are strong on football. This means that you can find good previews in their insights section. If you like to research games, you will enjoy reading their stuff.</p>
<p>Among their panel of writers is football expert Mark Stinchcombe. He writes interesting articles looking forward to upcoming games. You are most likely to find simple value bets on this account. It is a sensible, straightforward approach.</p>
<p>With football off the table, they are focussing on the NFL just now. Most of their current tweets are about the NFL draft. If you look further back, you will see a variety of subjects covered.</p>
<h2><strong>@Pinchbet</strong></h2>
<p>This is one of the newer tipsters on the list. Pinchbet started on Twitter in 2015 and now has over 20,000 followers. They tend to stick to in-play bets in football matches. They also take their odds from Bet365 more often than not.</p>
<p>While this is an affiliate-based approach, it appears trustworthy. We looked earlier at why affiliate tipsters aren’t great in general. But this looks like it goes further than most in choosing tips.</p>
<p>The experts seem to put time into finding good bets for you to place. You can expect at least one tip a day when the leagues are up and running. It is worth taking a look at, for these reasons.</p>
<p>It is interesting to note that they tend to work outside the big leagues. Expect to find bets on less-glamorous matches from lower leagues around Europe.</p>
<h2><strong>Advantages of Twitter Tipsters</strong></h2>
<p>There are some reasons for giving this approach a try. The following are a few of them to bear in mind.</p>
<ul>
<li>It is free. There is no need to sign up to a contract or pay any monthly subscription fees. This means that you get to keep the full profits on any wins.</li>
<li>Pick and choose your accounts. You are free to look around and switch between tipsters. With many different Twitter accounts offering tips, you can move about. There is no need to stick with one that lets you down.</li>
<li>It is fun. They will tend to tweet videos and articles as well as tips. For a sports fan, this is a great way to stay informed.</li>
<li>Fast information. You can latch onto a fresh tip and bet on it instantly. This means that new information can be used before it is widely known.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Disadvantages of Twitter Tipsters</strong></h2>
<p>This way of following tipsters has some advantages. Yet, it isn’t perfect. To fully understand it, we need to look at some of the disadvantages as well.</p>
<ul>
<li>Not a tips-only service. This isn’t a service where you are sent a certain number of tips each day. Some tipsters are more reliable than others. But you might still need to wait for new tips. They will often tweet on a variety of other subjects as well.</li>
<li>Difficult to see their track record. When you sign up on a tipster site, you can normally look back over their past results. On Twitter, this isn’t so easy. You might need to go through their old tweets. You will then need to work out how their predictions got on.</li>
<li>Lots of followers mean odds change. A tipster who tweets to a lot of people can affect the market. The price that they suggest won’t last for long if thousands all bet on it. You need to be fast to get a good price.</li>
<li>You will lose some bets. There is no tipster that can guarantee you a win on every tip. The more tips you bet on, the greater your chance of losing some of them.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>What to Do Next?</strong></h2>
<p>If you have the time to follow some of these accounts then I suggest doing so. There is a lot of information to go through. So it makes sense to get used them just now, when there is little or no action taking place.</p>
<p>Don’t start acting on all of their tips at once, though. It makes more sense to see how they perform for a while. You can then settle on which ones appear to be the best fit for you.</p>
<p>Even then, you don’t need to follow all of their tips. Work out a method that lets you choose the tips you are most convinced by.</p>
<h2><strong>Is This Right for Everyone?</strong></h2>
<p>Not everyone will be comfortable using a Twitter tipsters. You might prefer an approach that has less risk. For instance, with matched betting you aren’t running the risk of losing money.</p>
<p>Don’t forget that no Twitter tipster will always win. If you place bets on their tips, you will suffer losing streaks. This is simply unavoidable with any sort of tipster. This is not <a href="https://mikecruickshank.com/matched-betting-book/">Matched Betting</a>.</p>
<p>Having said that, these accounts can be a lot of fun too. If you love horse racing or football, you will find plenty to watch and read on here.</p>
<h2><strong>Best Free Twitter Tipster Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>There are some trustworthy Twitter tipsters worth following. As long as you don’t expect constant wins, this is an easy and enjoyable way of receiving tips.</p>
