Diamond Racing Lays Review: Horse Racing Lay Tips

Diamond Racing Lays is a horse racing laying service which is yet to record a losing year since 2013.

Run by Jason Matthews, the service is available on the Bets For Today network and shows an impressive a strike rate of 69.3% banking £5096.40 to £20 stakes at an ROI of 8.8%.

Emails are sent out each morning with a list of selections that we are to lay on Betfair at BSP, as long as the odds are below the maximum specified. To save time, the selections should be loaded on to a bot, such as The Bet Engine.

We are using a bank of 100 points and will be laying each selection with a 1 point stake, so liability will depend on the odds but will never be more than 3 points. We will include a deduction of 5% commission in our results.

Below is a table of results up to the start of our review.

Our Diamond Racing Lays review ended with a neutral rating.

Please feel free to continue reading the full review below, though we recommend checking out some of the betting system reviews which ended in a pass instead. There's a small selection below or you can click here for the full list.

Top Tennis Tips Review: Tennis Value Betting Software
Top Tennis Tips is a must-have tool for finding tennis value bets and comes highly recommended. We recorded 31.74 points during our review and gave it a pass.
Golf Value Tips Review: Golf Betting Tips Service
We almost doubled our betting bank in our Golf Value Tips review with 94.87 points profit banked. This top class golf betting tips service earned an easy pass.
Value Tips Review: Horse Racing Value Bet Scanning Software
The Value Tips service identifies horse racing value bets. During our three month review, we banked 32.68 points profit with most of it coming from the scanning software.

Month One Results

The first month of our Diamond Racing Lays review lost 12.22 points at an ROI of -11.6%. 

We had been loading the selections into The Bet Engine, so it had taken very little time to follow the service, but unfortunately the results were not going the right way.

The bot automatically discards selections at a higher BSP of 3.99, but we have recorded results including these lays just out of interest. We found that keeping them in would have lost us an additional 5.59 points.

Month Two Results

A much better second month as we banked 14.61 points profit leaving us 2.39 points up overall. As with last month, we were still recording the discarded selections above 3.99 to compare results. 

We found that if we had left them in, we would have made a slightly smaller profit of 11.32 points, so leaving them out did seem to work for the better.

Month Three Results

A loss of 10.6 points left us back in the red with an overall loss of 8.21 points for the overall review.

As mentioned in our earlier updates, we were monitoring the discarded selections below 4.0 just out of interest. Had we kept them in over the last month we would have faced a hefty loss of 92.98 points and bust the 100 point bank. There was not much point in us recording these so we decided to leave it there.

Month Four Results

We decided to extend our Diamond Racing Lays review for a further month to help us make a decision on our final rating.

However, it turned out to be a scratch month with a small profit of 0.77pts which did not really help.

Diamond Racing Lays Review Graph

Review Summary

We were unable to make a profit from Diamond Racing Lays over four months. While were not left with a huge loss and our bank was never in any danger, a few good months could have seen things turn around quickly.

It was certainly worth keeping an eye on this one; you can follow the results as they are uploaded to the website or take advantage of the 30 day trial for £1 if you prefer to follow live.

We think that a "Neutral" rating is fair.
