The Form Guy won two monthly tipping competitions, followed by the overall grand prize, before launching his betting service.
All tipsters have their own way of sourcing selections that they deem to be good value, with the main focus being to find bookmaker's odds that look to be higher than they should be.
Stevie Vee, who runs this horse racing tips service, says that in order to maximise betting profits you need to spend a lot of time researching the form of the horses.
His strategy is to find horses that have an advantage that most punters or even bookmakers haven't spotted.
Stevie has been studying form for most of his adult life and has even been a bookmaker in the past. He says that he finds being a tipster is actually harder, but he finds it far more enjoyable and loves sharing his winning bets with his clients.
To date, the results for the service show 160.66 points profit since proofing started in October 2021.
The bets are a mixture of win and each-way and going by the past results, they are staked between 0.5 to 2 points each.
They are sent out by email the evening before the racing and are also posted to a member's area of the website.
While Stevie says that maximum profit will be achieved by using "Best Odds Guaranteed" bookmakers, he says that strong profits can still be made without that concession, or alternatively at Betfair.
We don't include BOG in our results, so we will be recording profit/loss at the advised and available odds and Betfair SP.
Month One Update
It was a terrible start to our review of The Form Guy with 38.88 points lost in the first month, which was more than a third of our starting bank. It seemed like it would be quite a battle to recover what was lost, but we had our fingers crossed.
