Hidden Winners Review: Horse Racing Betting Strategy

Hidden Winners is a horse racing betting strategy from the Back Lucrative team that comes complete with daily selections.

The selection process and overall concept of the system is explained in video format and there are several examples that show exactly how to find suitable bets.

If you just want bets picked out for you each day, the service offers daily tips too, so you get the best of both worlds.

The past results show 562.64 points profit at an ROI of 26.1% since October 2019. There have been 1,079 bets to date and 311 winners, which works out as a 28.8% strike rate.

We were pleased to see that the system also works at Betfair SP and has generated a profit of 388.26 points at an ROI of 18%.

It's great to have the option of betting at BSP, but there's also options for those that would prefer to bet at the bookies.

Michael, who runs the service, has listed the bookmakers that offer a minimum bet guarantee, which means they will pay out up to a certain amount whether you are gubbed or not.

We will be following the low risk bank management advice, which is 1% stake per bet and predicts a maximum drawdown of 35% of the bank as a worst case scenario.

During our review, we tracked results at the advised odds, available odds and Betfair SP. Read on to see our full results and final verdict.

Month One Update

We lost 11.05 points in the first month of our Hidden Winners review, despite the service hitting some high priced wins at odds of 12/1 and 16/1. 

We had been in a profitable position at various times through the month, but whenever we gained a bit of momentum there was a streak of losing bets to follow. We hoped to see an improvement in results during the next month.

Review Summary

Our Hidden Winners review didn't go as planned and we ended up losing 39.87 points over the course of three months.

We recorded 203 bets in total and there were 38 that returned a profit, which was a strike rate of 18.7%. This was far lower than the long-term reported strike rate of 28.8%, so it was clear that the system wasn't performing as well as it should have been.

Aside from results, everything else about the service was good. Tips were uploaded to the member's area at the same time each day and it wasn't a struggle to get the advised odds.

It could be that we happened to start our review during a downturn and there's always the chance that results could have vastly improved during the weeks to follow. 

We had to go by what was in front of us though, so sadly Hidden Winners was put down as a fail.
