ITV Racing Tips Review: Value Bets for Big TV Race Meetings

Written by Laura Turner

ITV Racing Tips Review

Carl Nicholson has years of experience under his belt in the tipster industry and has been dubbed the "Big Race Value King". 

We've witnessed his quality before, having awarded Carl Nicholson's Racing Diary with a pass after banking 48 points profit at 65% ROI during our review. 

Carl's new tips service, ITV Racing Tips, offers tips solely for races shown on ITV. He analyses every race for the big TV meetings and advises a bet for each one, plus a nap and "next best bet" for each day.

The reported results for 2019 (at the time of this review) showed 98.26 points profit at 26.3% ROI and a strike rate of 50.2%.

With Carl's services, you are not just getting a tip that could have been randomly picked out of a hat. He takes the time to disect each race and provides a detailed write-up for every tip he sends out, so you can see the full reasoning behind the selection.

Access to the tips starts from as little as £5.00 and there are also free tips available here that go out each Friday night.

We tracked results over a three month period at the advised odds, available odds and Betfair SP. 

We finished our review with a profit of 51.55 points and our ROI matched the long-term results at 29.8%. As an added bonus, the service was also profitable at BSP.


Month One Results

It was a phenomenal start to our review of ITV Racing Tips with 52.58 points profit at an ROI of 82.8%. The service tipped a 40/1 winner at the Goodwood festival which sent our profit soaring.

Even without that huge winner, we still would have finished the month in a comfortable position thanks to an impressive 40% strike rate.

Review Summary

We finished our ITV Racing Tips review with an overall profit of 51.55 points at an ROI of 29.8%, which works out as a an average monthly profit of 17.2 points. Based on stakes of £10 per point, that's £515.50 profit in total.

We were also able to make a profit betting at Betfair SP, although not quite as much as betting at regular bookmakers. At BSP we recorded a respectable profit of 29.07 points at an ROI of 16.8%, so that could still be a viable option for those that prefer to use betting exchanges.

One of the great things with this service was that we were only betting on top class races shown either on ITV on a Saturday or sometimes during the week for big meetings such as Cheltenham festival.

Included with each selection was a short analysis of why the horse was fancied, as well as advised stakes and odds.

We had no doubt that it would be a quality tipping service, based on our previous review of Carl Nicholson's other horse racing tips service, the Racing Diary.

It's a straight-forward "pass" rating for ITV Racing Tips.
