Cleeve Racing have achieved 16 out of 18 profitable racing seasons, including National Hunt and Flat racing.
At the time of my review, the results for this service showed 426.65 points profit since November 2014. The 2017/18 flat season alone showed a profit of more than 63 points.
The Cleeve Racing team focus on analysing Class 2 races and above using 12 different form components to produce a rating for each runner. Once they have picked out the top rated runners, they analyse the race conditions and the prices of the selections to identify value bets.
For my review, I tracked Cleeve Racing's selections for three months and finished with 56.94 points profit at 30.9% ROI. This resulted in a 142% growth of my starting bank.
The tips were even more profitable at BSP, with 80.3 points profit at a 43.6% ROI.
It's not often that you find a tipster that has been around for close to a decade and that speaks for itself. For long-term profit, I highly recommend considering this service as part of your betting portfolio.

Review Update - Latest Results
It has been a terrible time for Cleeve Racing with poor results during the past year. Not only that, the service is at around the same running total that they were at in 2018.
Whether starting with 40 points, as it was advised when I first carried out my review, or with a more conservative 100 points, it would have been wiped out this year.
My rating has been downgraded to a "Fail".

Month One Update
I had a terrific start to my Cleeve Racing review with 27.63 points profit banked at 41.9% ROI.
The Cheltenham meeting turned out to be fruitful for the service with a profit of 14.55 points made, but I was already comfortably ahead before the festival started.
Based on the advised 40 point bank, I had already seen an increase of just under 70%.
Even better than that though, recording results at Betfair SP had doubled my bank!

Month Two Update
The second month of my Cleeve Racing review was a step back, though I was still well ahead thanks to the amazing start.
I ended month two with a loss of 11 points at the odds available when the tips were sent out. That left my overall trial with 16.63 points profit, which is a 42% increase to my starting bank.

Even better, the tips also proved to be profitable at BSP with a total of 80.3 points profit at a 43.6% ROI.

I found Cleeve Racing to be very professional with in-depth race analysis, not just for the races that had advised tips, but also for other notable races that had ended up being a "no bet".
The tips are posted to a private member's area each day, but there is also an email sent out to notify when they are ready.
My review had been a great success and I had no hesitation in awarding Cleeve Racing with a pass.
Hi, just had a question around the profit made on these using BSP prices as I’m keen to find more services that use BSP and this looks a contender.
A number of the selections put forward by Cleeve are EW and often suggest particular bookmakers that have an extra place; for example the Cleeve tip for Give Me A Copper at 15:35 at Sandown on 27th April 2019 suggested a couple of bookies offering 5 places. I’ve often found Betfair Exchange to offer less places, in this race it was likely to be 3 or 4. The horse came in 4th so was an EW win had you gone with the bookie, but potentially a loss at BSP on the Betfair Exchange due to less places.
I just wondered how this was handled in your paper trading? Did you always opt for a bookie offering the same number of places as Betfair Exhange?
Thanks,
JP
Hi Jon, There are extra place markets available on Betfair for the majority of races, but I believe Betfair paid out 4 places here.
So there are! I’d never even noticed that before, thank you!
