Rainbow's End is a low risk horse racing betting system developed by professional investor Val Harrison. The system is detailed in a physical book that is mailed out after subscribing and comes with access to software that automates the selection process.
Using the software does make it easier as it scans through the races and automatically calculates the required stakes, but it is not necessary as doing everything manually only takes a few minutes. Access to the software costs a monthly payment of £50.00 that can be cancelled at any time.
Without giving too much away, the system is a form of arbitrage betting that requires access to Best Odds Guaranteed bookmakers.
Races need to be scanned to see if they meet the set criteria and then bets are placed across a number of bookmakers. Sometimes races that weren't suitable on the first check may become valid later on in the day, so by checking at various times of the day it's possible to find more selections.
Ideally you need access to at least 10-15 different bookmakers and there should be funds available in each of them, to save time when putting bets on. If odds change whilst you are placing bets it can affect the overall profit, so it is a case of trying to get bets on as quick as possible.
There is some guidance on staking that states you can risk as little as £2.00 per race, but you would still need to fund each bookie with enough money to cover all of the bets. According to the sales page, with a risk of £2.00 per £100 staked, the return could be as high as £94.00 so increasing the risk to £10.00 could give a potential return of £478.00.
The main issue is the high the stakes, the more chance that the bookies will flag your account up and limit stakes or close it, so it's advised to keep stakes low and build steady profits. There's still no guarantee that the accounts won't be flagged up but unfortunately, that is the case when using any betting system that depends on using online bookmakers.
Our reviewer Barry has chosen to use the lowest staking plan and is using a bank of £3000 spread across bookies to cover the liabilities, however a lower bank of £1000 would most likely be enough.
Rainbow's End Automation Software
There is also software to go with the system that automates the selection process, which can certainly save time each day, but isn't necessary. Please be aware that the software does not physically place any bets, it is purely built to scan races and notify you of any that are suitable for betting on. It also calculates the correct stakes for you.
After paying the initial £50 for the system and one month's software access, a continued subscription to the software costs £50 per month.
The software is web-based but once the settings have been entered, there is really no need to use it on a daily basis as any selections are emailed out or alternatively, Facebook messenger notifications can be set up. From the email there is a handy link that goes directly to the race on Oddschecker.
At the time of writing there are 35 bookies to select from within the software, so if there are any that you don't have access to they can easily be deselected and excluded from the scan. Of the 35 listed, there are 19 that have Best Odds Guarenteed (BOG) so there are plenty to choose from.
Things To Be Aware Of
Guest reviewer Barry has been testing out the Rainbow's End horse racing system for just over six weeks now and has reported back with some impressive results. He has bet on a total of 221 races and made a profit of £623.95, which is a 20.8% increase to his betting bank.
The system is based on a low risk strategy using Best Odds Guaranteed bookies. Barry used stakes of £100 per race and although this might seem high, there is approximately only £2.00 at risk for every £100 staked.
We received a copy of the system in the form of a physical book written by professional investor Val Harrison, who also developed the Day B4 system that we are currently reviewing. It does give a sense of high quality having a book as opposed to a digital copy and it is very well put together with clear instructions and examples.
However, since launching the Rainbow's End automation software the system is now bundled as a downloadable PDF file. There are also further instructions such as how to operate the software which are available to view after logging in.
For a limited time only, the vendor has kindly offered to include a copy of the physical book along with access to the software - click here.

Summary
Rainbow's End is an easy and low risk way to build up a bank, but it is by no means a "get rich quick" scheme. It is clearly a profitable system but after prolonged use there is no doubt that bookies will close or limit accounts.
Barry chose to stake £100 per race, but even dropping stakes to £20 per race with a risk of around 40p per race would have made a steady profit of £124.79 over six weeks.
As with other matched betting and arbitrage systems, if used carefully this can provide a good side income.
