The Betting Mastermind is a horse racing lay betting service which emails out easy to follow daily lay selections.
Stuart Neill who runs The Betting Mastermind, sends out the bets with the current lay odds, but, as liquidity can often be an issue, he records his results using Betfair SP.
The early prices of most bets are between 2.00 and 4.00. There is no odds limit for laying the selections, but Stuart said that having maximum odds of 6.0 wouldn't adversely affect the bank long-term and could be a good option for those who prefer a lower risk style of betting.
The advised starting bank is 150 points and each lay is for a level 1 point stake, meaning that the average liability will be approximately 2% of your bank.
We followed The Betting Mastermind for four months and banked 17.23 points profit at 2.8% ROI. We have shared our full results below, alternatively click here to get started with The Betting Mastermind.

Month Two Results
Month two ended with a small loss of 3.83 points, but there was an interesting development from Stuart who runs the service.
After analysing the results of his past selections, he had discovered that the horses that started the race as 4th, 5th or 8th+ favourite based on their Betfair SP had been the most profitable. Based on this he advised his subscribers to only lay these horses moving forwards.
Without using a bot this meant that the races had to be monitored close to the off to determine whether the selection was a qualifying lay, but Stuart was working an on automated solution.
Looking at our results since starting the review, we can see that by laying all of the selections we would have made a small profit of 0.25 points, but following the new strategy (named V1) we would have banked 14.23 points profit.
More information on the V1 Stategy can be found below.

Month Three Results
Laying all of the selections produced a small profit of 0.61 points, but the new V1 Strategy banked 5.58 points profit.
Since implementing Stuart's new V1 strategy there had been a notable improvement to results.
Our total profit now stood at 8.03 points, but we calculated that by using the V1 strategy from the start we would have had a much improved 19.81 points profit.

Review Summary
We finished our review of The Betting Mastermind with a total profit of 17.23 points (ROI of 2.8%) using level 1 point stakes.
Since the new V1 filters were put in place, we saw a great improvement in our results and it definitely seems to be the way forward. It is important that a tipster is able to adapt and change things around to ensure they still have an edge.
We're happy to recommend The Betting Mastermind as a steady bank builder - it's a 'pass' from us.
