Dark Bet is a sports bet scanner which aims to find value in events with high liquidity.
We were asked by Aleksandr from Dark Bet if we could review his collection of betting tools for Betfair, Pinnacle and Fonbet.
The specific tool that we reviewed was called the “Top Money Way Betfair”, which automatically picks out the best high volume bets and sends them out to you via email in real-time.
We had already received a few bets since signing up to the service, but they were sent out in the early hours of the morning for the Australian Open so we were not able to take advantage.
The day’s fixtures can be filtered by sport (cricket, golf, ice hockey, snooker, soccer or tennis) volume and more. You can also set up notifications for your custom filters.

Read Between The Lines Review: Horse Racing Tips Service
Read Between The Lines pulled off some amazing results during our three month review, netting a huge 305.93 points profit at an ROI of 72.5%.
Dobbin Day Review: Horse Racing Trading Software
After finding our feet in the first part of our Dobbin Day review, we managed to make a steady profit in month two and three, finishing with an overall profit of £26.01 to £5.00 stakes or 5.20 points. This works out as a modest 10.4% increase to our £250 starting bank.
Clear Bonus Profits Review: Matched Betting Service
In just three months, Ollie barely touched the surface of what was available at Clear Bonus Profits but still managed to bank a healthy profit of £1,400.86. That works out at an impressive average of £467 profit per month.
Month One Results
A frustrating start to our review with a loss of 1.49 points. At the given odds, we would have made a profit of 0.65 points.
Many of the "Top Money Way Betfair" selections were sent out when the fixtures were already in-play. This meant that the odds were pretty much guaranteed to have moved by the time we opened up Betfair, especially with tennis matches.
We originally thought that this was a glitch in the software, but were later told that the tool did monitor irregular betting volume in-play as well as pre-match, so we began recording in-play odds.

Review Summary
We did manage to make a small profit using the Dark Bet software, however it wasn't anything to write home about and the return on investment (ROI) was disappointing.
There were several issues with the service:
- Firstly, we were not entirely sure how the software worked. We knew that it scanned Betfair for matches with high volume, but this did not necessarily make it a good bet. Even if there was potential match fixing going on, we could never be 100% sure so we were taking a gamble with every bet, rather than betting with value.
- The results from official testing of the software that were listed at the beginning of the review had since been removed and there had not been any more added to the site.
- The subscription costs were very high, working out at approximately £94.00 per month at the current exchange rates.
- There were instructions on how to use the software and some general advice on what settings to use. Although this section had improved during the review, some more guidance would be useful.
We felt the service a deserved neutral rating as we did manage to make a profit, but not enough to justify paying the membership fees.
