Systematic Betting Review: Horse Racing Tips Service

Written by Laura Turner

Systematic Betting review

Systematic Betting achieved the highest ROI of any tipster on the Betting Gods network during their five months of proofing.

The service is run by qualified statistician Ellie, who takes a "quality over quantity" approach to horse racing betting, with an average of one or two tips sent out each day. 

When I first commenced my Systematic Betting review, the stats showed 98.43 points profit (or £984.30 to £10 stakes) at an ROI of 29.5%. Ellie also hadn't encountered a losing month and was close to doubling her 100 point starting bank.

Due to the markets being sensitive to fluctuations in prices, Ellie came up with a plan to ensure that her member's were able to get the advised odds more often than not.

She schedules her tips at specific times, so if they're not sent at 8:30am, they'll arrive by 9:00am. This way, everyone knows exactly when to check, giving members a better chance of grabbing the recommended odds.

I recorded my own results from following the service over several months and hoped to see Ellie continue her winning run. Unfortunately, it did not go very well!

The review resulted in a "Fail" rating.

Review Update - Latest Results

Eighteen months after my initial Systematic Betting review, I discovered that the service was still going strong and, to my surprise, had been performing exceptionally well in the long term. By this point, Ellie had grown her bank by an impressive 196%.

Feeling like it deserved a second chance, I decided to give it a re-trial and started tracking the tips again.

However, I quickly noticed some flaws and several weeks into my re-trial, I decided to call it quits.

The main issue I had with the service was the availability of the odds. Many of the selections seemed to be on French racing and the tips were being sent out soon after Bet365 had formed their market. 

I found that they were the only bookmaker available for quite some time after receiving the tips. This would have been a problem for anyone who didn't have a Bet365 account, for whatever reason.

The other thing was, they were niche bets, so anyone who did have account would quickly have their stakes limited. 

I couldn't see it as a long-term viable betting tips service so I decided not to continue.

Wadster Bet Bots is a tips service platform with a difference, as rather than paying a monthly subscription for them, you only pay when the tips make a profit.
Bet Hero Review: Value Betting Software
During my Bet Hero review, I was able to uncover tons of markets where bookmakers have mispriced the odds and was able to make £866.97 profit at an ROI of 8.56%.
Bets For Today VIP Review: Betting Tips Package
Bets For Today VIP turned out to be a profitable set of betting systems, making 30.16 points profit during my three month review at an ROI of 9.3%. It gets a pass from me!

Systematic Betting Review - Trial One Results

Month One Update

My Systematic Betting review didn't get off to a good start with 8.53 points lost in the first month. There were three winning bets and quite a few times where the tipster came close, with eight selections placing.

The tipster had started adding analysis with each bet which was a nice touch. I hoped that the effort that they were putting in on research would start to pay off soon.

Month Two Update

It was another poor month for Systematic Betting with a further 8.01 points lost, which added up to 16.54 points lost overall.

The write-ups that Ellie had been including with each bet had started to fizzle out and it was back to just the basic tip information. This was a little concerning, as it seemed to me that the tipster might have been losing interest in the service.

I had another month to go, as I generally aimed to follow tipsters for three months as a minimum. I hoped that the tipster could get back to producing similar results to those in their proofing period, as things were not looking good as it stood.

Month Three Update

The final month of my Systematic Betting review was the worst of the three with 34.63 points lost.

There was a change of strategy towards the end where there was a much higher volume of bets than there had previously been. Unfortunately this didn't help things and only helped to accelerate the depletion of our bank.

Review Summary

I experienced three losing months in a row following Systematic Betting and finished with a 51.2% decrease to my bank overall. In a few words, it didn't go well!

Towards the end of the third month, the tipster vastly increased the volume of bets, so I went from 2-3 per day to up to 17 on one of the days. It was quite a drastic change and there hadn't been this many bets in the months prior to my review.

There was also the inclusion of some lower odds bets as low as 1.25, which I hadn't seen previously.

The high volume of bets itself wasn’t a problem, but the sudden shift in strategy felt odd. It seemed like the tipster might have been reacting out of frustration or feeling pressured to deliver profits for members.

This left me with a lack of confidence in the service, and based on my experience, it's not one I could recommend.
