Second Class Racing is a lay betting tips service run by the renowned horse racing tipster and professional bettor, Mel Gee.
You may recognise Mel Gee from his other horse tipping service, First Class Racing, which turned out to be a great success when we reviewed it over a six month period in 2022.
First Class Racing is a more traditional service, backing horses at bookmakers, whereas Second Class Racing is a laying service, where you place your bets against a horse at an exchange like Betfair.
If you are new to laying, it basically means you want the horse to lose instead of win.
The results for the service during proofing look incredible, with £1,421 profit to £10 stakes banked in 24 weeks. The ROI was 17.5% and there was a high strike rate of 85% (691 bets won out of 811).
The bets are sent out on the Telegram app each day and there are up to 12 lays per day. It is set and forget, so once the bets have been placed you can get on with your day.
Lay betting liabilities can often get high on horse racing but with this service the liability is capped at £50 per race based on using £10 stakes. You would need a £1,000 starting bank to bet at those stakes.
We will be following the service for a minimum of three months and we will be betting live on Betfair to make sure our bets are matched at the advised odds.
