Horse Racing Systems – Early Season Trainers to Follow in April

March 26, 2021 By Steve Adams

The flat turf season got underway in Ireland last weekend and things kickoff in the UK at Doncaster tomorrow.

I thought it would be good to take a look and see if there are any trainers who like to be quick out of the stalls and bag a few winners in the first month of the season.

For my research I used the HorseRaceBase system builder to analyse the past data.

Past performance isn’t necessarily a good guide to current circumstances and with last seasons Covid lockdown, there isn’t any 2020 data to work with.

Never the less, trainers will often stick with what’s worked for them in the past, so those who’ve had their string fit and ready for the start of the season in previous years, are likely to do so again. At a time when there’s little recent turf form to work with, it’s an angle that may pay dividends.

Speculate 2 Accumulate Review – Proofed Tips

March 13, 2021 By Steve Adams

Speculate 2 Accumulate (SP2A) is run JMI Publications. They have been proofing selections to Racing-Index since 2011.

From the start of January 2021 I’ve also been monitoring their Placespotter tips based upon early advised prices. I verify all their prices via Oddschecker to see if it’s possible to get on at the price they advise. If not I use the available prices when recording results.

In order to get the most from the SP2A service you’re going to need an account with several of the bookmakers that offer enhanced place terms on the big races.

In the video I illustrate the difference it makes, being paid out on the extra places, with Best Odds Guaranteed prices, rather than backing their selections at Betfair SP.

Northern Monkey Punter Review – Proofed Tips

February 25, 2021 By Steve Adams

Northern Monkey Punter has been run by Wayne Finter since 2010. He mostly focuses on the better quality races, Class 4 and above.

He has been proofing selections to Racing-Index since he first started the service.

To get the most out of his selections, you’re going to need bookmaker accounts, rather than betting his selections on the betting exchanges.

The majority of his bets are singles in both the win and each-way markets, but he also includes doubles and occasional trebles, often with a view to roll-up stakes on ante-post selections.

Wayne gets heavily involved in the Cheltenham Festival and the turf season is his main focus over the summer, so if you’re interested in joining his Northern Monkey Punter service, now is as good a time as any to join.

Bet Alchemist Review – Proofed Tips

February 19, 2021 By Steve Adams

Bet Alchemist is a tipping service run by Nicky Doyle. He’s been proofing his Value Betting Service tips to Racing-Index since March 2013.

With his selections Nicky looks to find value in the market, from bigger priced selections, in better quality races from both the UK and Ireland.

Since the start of 2021 I’ve been monitoring the selections based upon bookmaker best odds guaranteed prices and enhanced each-way place terms.

The majority of selections are advised to be backed each-way, so the enhanced places can make a significant difference to profits.

I take a look at the Bet Alchemist web site, look at the past results and say why I feel now could be a good time to join Nicky’s service.

Free Horse Racing Tipsters Review – Can You Make Money Backing Free Tips?

February 12, 2021 By Steve Adams

At the end of last year I posed the question “Are Free Tips Worth Backing?“. Since then I’ve been monitoring the selections of several tipsters, who provide tips for free.

In this video I provide the latest performances figures on 3 of them. That’s Lucky Loader’s 15, Lucky Lisa’s horse racing tips and bettingexpert Stephen Harris’ top horse racing tips.

I explain a little about each of the services and then look at how their tips have fared since the start of the year.

Spoiler alert. 2 out of the 3 tipsters have done really well since I started monitoring them at the beginning of the year.

2020 Racing High Strike Rate Review – Proofed Tips

February 9, 2021 By Steve Adams

2020 Racing have been proofing their back and lay bet selections to Racing-Index since 2012.

They provide 2 services where they back horses to win and 2 where they lay them to lose.

In addition to the regular proofing to Betfair SPs, from the start of January 2021, I’ve also been monitoring their High Strike Rate selections, based upon early advised prices. These prices are verified using the Oddschecker website.

Watch the video I look at the 2020 Racing web site, look back at their past proofed results and see how much more profitable the selections can be, taking the early prices, rather than backing at SP or Betfair SP.

Tic Tac Tips Review – Proofed Bets

February 5, 2021 By Steve Adams

Tic Tac Tips have been proofing their selections to Racing-Index since 2006 and are the longest serving tipster. They’ve stood the test of time, with many tipping services having come and gone during the time they’ve been proofing.

The proofing area shows results based upon SP and Betfair SP, which isn’t really the best way to get the most from the Tic Tac Tips selections They advise backing their selections each-way and the Betfair place SPs are usually not as good as the each-way equivalent percentages.

From the beginning of January 2021, I’ve also been manually proofing the selections, based upon bookmaker best odds guaranteed prices, available at the time they send out selections.

Watch the video, where I take a look at the Tic Tac Tips web site, look back at their past proofed results and see how much more profitable the selections are when taking the bookmaker early prices, rather than backing at Betfair SP.

Cheek Pieces Review – Proofed Tips

February 2, 2021 By Steve Adams

Cheek Pieces have been proofing their selections to Racing-Index since March 2017. Proofing is automated and results are shown for all selections submitted, based upon SP and Betfair SP (see link below).

From the beginning of January 2021 I’ve also been manually proofing the selections, based upon early advised prices.

Prices are verified using Oddschecker, based upon the time the selections are received (usually around 6:00 – 7:30 pm, the evening before racing.

Prices are also recorded at 8:00am, based upon bookmakers best odds guaranteed.

Watch the video, where I take a look at the Cheek Pieces web site, look back at the 4 years of proofed results and see how much more profitable the selections are when taking an early price, rather than backing at Betfair SP.

A Look At – GeeGeez Gold

January 25, 2021 By Steve Adams

In the first of a series of “A Look At” videos on the new Racing-Index YouTube channel, I take a look at Matt Bisogno’s GeeGeez Gold.

I’ll be using the A Look At videos to show in greater detail some of the web sites linked to from Racing-Index.

In the video I take a walkthrough the horse racing racecards, form reports and analysis tools, designed to help you analyse horse racing form as quickly and efficiently as possible.
