It’s all smoke and mirrors 99% of the time
The Reality is there a lot of self made hype on this service.
The bot claims things that the subscriber isn’t actually getting…
So, in total transparency, and as part of our research, a group of us have tracked his results for 6 months in 2025 (so far), and it’s struggling to break even, maybe even at a small loss once you factor in the cost of the service – £49.99 pcm. Depends on the size of your 1pt EW.
Subscriber numbers have reduced from 1000 to around 850. This is no doubt partly bc the summer and winter 2025 has been so poor.
His each way bets (the main service) are a strange approach because many of them don’t place. So a lot of wasted place stake money could be better used. We are analysing this too.
On an example month there was around 45 selections (always 1pt E/W, so that’s 90points outplayed).
Results: 2 or 3 horses win, 3 or 4 horses place. and 35+ selections lose. The return was 1.2%.
So you have to look at it and work out if you’d be better putting your money into a 5% saver account 
In other months ROI was also circa 1%.
He will claim that is profit. (It is, but the juice is not worth the squeeze). October and November were losing months. December was break even.
He calls the losses ‘variance’. Fancy word for losing your money.
Over the year the analysis is predicting a range of only -2.5% losses to +5% profit as ROI.
But I’ll report back once research is complete
Then we have the issue of price. Most prices are fairly reported but some are not. It’s never under reported where he claims 12-1 and it was 16-1. So factor that in. It’s usually over exaggerated.. like a cake and eat it situation that so many of these claimers make the error of baking in.
not all races are BEST ODDS GUARANTEED (BOG).
Other observations:-
He aims at smaller meetings where he claims that many horses are not trying. He often Ignores the bigger weekend meetings (he says very emotional things like leave those for the mug punters or constitution hill fan boys)?!!!
But then gets very excited about Cheltenham? Go figure.
He’s an emotional wreck it would appear. But tells all customers to stay level headed and business like. He’s more emotional than most!!
One strange trope is he gets very exercised about constitution hill getting beat. No idea why, it’s a horse mate. Calm your skin down.
This year he’s introduced a new feature called ‘steamers’. It’s basically usually two horses a day which he expects to go off shorter. Sometime they do, sometimes they don’t. They win about as often as a news paper tipster. Nothing exciting to see here.
Steamers isn’t very insightful or successful, and it’s really just distracted from the main each way, ‘large odds’ service he claims to base his profession on.
They often don’t go off smaller, all odds change so it’s a non event the steamers. It’s also losing money since its inception this autumn.
Our view is he knows the info horse Each way, is losing subscribers and he needs to feed his crack habit customer base. (That he claims he has no time for).
Overall, if you like 30-40 horses a month of which 80% will be unplaced, 5-10% win and a few place. Then give it a go.
Heres some basic maths to demystify it for you.
Average 35 horses selected per month.
All selections are 1 point each way.
So that = 70 points invested per month.
= 840 points per year
If we take £50 each way as your average bet, that’s an outlay of £42,000 per year.
The service at 2% ROI = £840 profit.
The service at 5% ROI = £2,100 profit.
So Monthly you’re laying out £3,500 to potential make £70 to £175 profit.
Finally, this tipster doesn’t provide full excel figures, with transparent proof of his results. This is always a red flag. He mentions he will now and again, but non of our group has ever seen it.
He claims 18,000 profit in 3 years. All very flakey.
As a research piece it’s been interesting, luckily for us, the money is irrelevant to our group, we are all healthy, wealthy, and wise. We do this for people who get sucked in.
Most of us own racehorses, have decades of connections, and the truth is most people know nothing, but claim to. Jockeys are salt bad judges, so are many trainers.
It’s all smoke and mirrors 99% of the time.
Gambles do happen, I’ve been involved in a handful in decades, however they take months or more to line up, they don’t come around every day! and they certainly don’t give them to some bloke who used to work in IT support at betfair!!
Think about it.
Take care people.

Different from the rest
Following Neil since August, been solid.
Like his breakdowns – actual stats and tactics not just hype. Sticks to normal markets (Asian handicap, goals) so easy to get on. Up about 18 units in 6 months.
Had a rough Nov but hes transparant about results. Worth it if you want proper analysis.
7.5/10

Low bankroll to start
What stands out is how beginner-friendly everything is. You don’t need a huge bankroll to start, and the instructions are crystal clear. The odds are available at nearly all bookmakers, and the long-term yield is absolutely real. I’m consistently up and honestly the level of support is something you don’t see anywhere else.
Review by Vaklin Nikolov
Liquidity
I was shocked how quickly the service paid for itself. The bets are easy to get on, limits take a long time to appear, and the liquidity is perfect even during busy match days. I’ve never seen a service with such a stable edge—month after month the profits stack up effortlessly.
Review by James Dimov
Quick profit
After trying several services, this is the first that got me into stable profit so quickly. The tips are high-value, easy to follow, and available at almost every bookmaker. The guidance and support are brutal in a good way—they push you to succeed. I started small and still built a steady bankroll without pressure.
Review by Stoyan
Edge
I love that the bets have genuine, repeatable edge. You get on them easily, and the liquidity is more than enough. Some odds drop fast, but that just proves the value is real. Considering the quality, the subscription price is ridiculously low. Best betting investment I’ve made so far.
Review by G. Dragomanov
Transparency
The transparency of this service is unmatched. They publish stats based on actual customer results, not fantasy numbers. The picks appear in nearly all sportsbooks, and limits don’t hit quickly, so I can scale without stress. Overall, incredibly trustworthy and rock-solid.
Review by Mihail
Transparent
I like how they write about everything – the odds, the value, the last line to bet on etc. They have very transparent stats.
Review by Svetoslav
Amazing service
Really amazing detail goes into the selections from KJ, highly reccomend to anyone, not just a good tipping service but also educational. I’ve selected my own ones off the back of it and had some amazing winners. Top top guy.
Review by Sandy
Great find
I am new and considerably up from Kris’s tips so cant complain. There will be from time to time a week that isn’t great but the number of positive profitable weeks is astonishing!
Review by Ajay
Be very wary
Be wary of this tipster. He has a history for plagiarism and fiddling his P&L – ask to see his betting history and you won’t get a response, what is he hiding? I tracked every bet and found big discrepancies in each of the four months so can only presume that’s a regular occurrence whilst any losing bet is always put down to luck and variance. He also crows about not taking early prop lines to protect account health and what do you know, the next week all the bets are coming in 4+ days in advance – lines crash, accounts get marked and followers have little to no chance of getting the advertised prices.
Review by John
Worth the money
Really enjoyable service, Giving it 4 stars as it could do with some tweaks but I’m beyond happy with it, for the money I pay. I am on both of the pages. Unlike some comments on here. I think both are worth the money but that is just my opinion.
Results are good, tips are solid. Enjoyable.

This tipster is perfect for my situation
This tipster really works for me and my situation.
I have a job where I am mostly on a plane or inside a meeting room (spare time is minimal) but that doesn’t stop my love of sports (and betting).
I have tried other tipsters but to no success. Nothing to do with profits but just mainly timing of bets.
These are a few things I enjoy about the service.
1) I have enough time to get bets on and with the outcome usually being long term. I can check results when time allows.
2) I use it as an investment (+23% since I joined), but that is just personal to me.
3) The profit margins are solid enough.
4) The number of tips are not too high to where it becomes unmanageable.
5) Small enough service, so you can get on the odds that are tipped.
Also I would like to mention I enjoy the man behind it, he is an approachable likeable guy and one of the reasons I actually signed up.
I enjoy the sports chats I have with him about certain events. If I can’t find a market. I’ll message him and he will send me a link.
I actually get all my tips via email from him (works better for me). Which I can imagine is a pain for him but he does it anyway. All my previous tipsters wouldn’t.
Even if the margins were bigger elsewhere. I don’t think I’d leave. I love how personal this tipster has become with me. It’s rare that they would even engage with you.
One happy customer here and would recommend 100%.
Keep up the good work.

Brilliant Tipster
Raffo is exceptional at his craft. His tips are always well-researched and well-reasoned, and he avoids chasing losses, relying on odds-on bets, or using unnecessary accumulators. I have been following his tips since early December and have tracked their performance properly since January. I am over 130 units in profit since I started, and I hope this continues. Raffo has a unique talent for picking winners in floor tournaments, which are often overlooked by other tipsters. It’s great stuff!

All round great product
Been following GTC since the start of the year and felt compelled to leave a review. There live tip sheet product is one of a kind. It’s just so handy to see who all the top tipsters are backing on a given week and fun to see when there’s a bit of correlation or crossover. In terms of results it’s been excellent. 55% ROI so far this year and 44% ROI in the last two years. Can’t fault the product.

Consistent, well researched football tips
I’ve been using Kris for a year now, and I will definitely be continuing to use him in the long term. You get around 15 tips a week, all year round, so it is not too onerous in terms of placing bets and you don’t have any quiet periods during the summer as he meticulously researches the lesser-known leagues in Scandanavia. All bets have a thorough write up with backing statistics, so you know you’re in good hands and it’s just just a hopeful punt. I’ve generally had no problem getting the advised odds, averaging around 98% of the suggested price. For those who prefer using Bet365 only, he does give alternative tips using that bookie, which is a great feature.
Most importantly, long-term profits are very evident. Kris tends to go for around evens odds on average with his tips (mostly via bet builders), so the aim is to keep the strike rate above 50%, which given the clear value of the bets is consistently achieved. There’s only been one really bad month in the past year, but I don’t think any tipster can offer 100% winning months. But this service is as close as you can get.
It’s not a get rich quick service, but the regular profits all add up noticably, and following the games has been rather fun too.

Impressive
Having followed Mark’s various blogs and free tips for some time (with a lot of success) I’ve recently joined his VIP service, which now offers two different channels.
The Premium channel has some excellent write ups for all the bets, which is a big plus for me. And the prices seem to be holding (mostly) as well – so you can actually read the write ups and consider each bet for yourself too. I have followed other tipsters where you have to take the bets instantly or the prices are gone.
Bets in the Premium channel are widely available and Mark also explains the various different options available on various books, which can be really helpful if you’ve burned your account with any particular book.
The Pro channel is only new so it’s still evolving but so far it seems to be more akin to the type of bets Mark gives on his podcasts, but there’s more of them, and you get them earlier – which helps you get more value!
There is also an Extra channel, where the tips are not tracked. This I see as a chance to have a bit of fun. There are suggestions for various ACCAs in the win, BTTS & cards markets. I’ve been doing a little bit of mix’n’match with these tips and have had some great success.
P&L figures are consistent and there is definitely transparency. Lots of tipsters are not transparent at all, no matter how much they claim that they are.
Mark is also very approachable and responsive to DM’s so, all in all, a great tipster to follow.

TIPSTERS TO AVOID?
NO TRANSPARENCY
Joined the David Dooley horse racing service back in September for £10 per month out of curiosity after his ‘best horse racing tipster award?> number 1 Turf tipster apparently 🤔
Dooley tips 3 to 5 bets per day with different stake units for his tips, some selections being eachway on telegram.
During my subscription Dave always promised to update his figures regarding long-term results but never did.
I scrolled all his tips in the past 6 months from September to February 2023 to find his service down 50 odd points to advised stakes.
Dooley doesn’t live up to his name of being the top tipster in horse racing but that’s not surprising when your not transparent to the public.
Not worth the subscription fee.

Too Good to be True
I’ve been blocked on Twitter by GBT. I first came across Mike and his service when he signed up to the Betting Kingdom Tipster Competition many years ago. I was super excited to have a premium golf tipster on the site. But his results were very poor, albeit across a small sample size.
I took a closer look at his website. The results were incredible. A ROI of over 100% across 3-4 years of tipping. Now if you have any understanding of how gambling works you’ll know that’s just not possible. I took a delve into the results and there was some suspicious findings.
Firstly each way bets were being settled incorrectly and dead heat rules weren’t being accounted for. You could argue this is a genuine mistake but if you’ve been tipping on golf for 4 or 5 years and your selection finishes T8 with 7 other dudes, you know you’re not getting paid out in full.
Then there were selections showing profit with the phrase CASH OUT. These were tips that GBT had claimed he’d advised subscribers to cash out during the tournament that had then failed to place or win. But checking the Twitter feed there was no evidence of this.
A few other things bother me. The about page. Apparently this service has a team of golf professionals, inside the ropes, even at Majors. So they’re are charging £20 a month and sending the team all around the World with special access? Hmmm. Pretty cool if it’s true. I’ll let you decide.
Finally the reviews page. It’s been changed now but there were 100s of reviews at one stage. Every single one of them was a 5 star review.
I have had chats with Mike in the past and in his defence he did alter some of the results, but not the Each Way Dead Heat mistakes, so the stats displayed on his site and here at Betting Kingdom are likely to be incorrect. The worrying thing is that if you type “Golf Betting Tipster” into google, this service comes up first, so they might still be making money.
