Carl Nicholson has earnt pass ratings for several of his services in the past, but will Value Backing Naps be just as good?
His ITV Racing Tips service produced some fantastic results in our three month review, with a profit of 51.55 points at an ROI of 29.8%.
In his former "Value Backing" service he mainly tipped big priced value selections, but he has recently decided to refine his selection process. He is now taking a different approach to reflect the horse race punting landscape, with shorter priced selections and a higher strike rate.
Introducing Value Backing Naps, a service offering a daily "Nap" bet and a "Next Best" selection.
In the first five months of this new format, he has reported a profit of 54.18 points and 50.28 points at Betfair SP with a 45% strike rate.
The staking is either 2 points win or 1 point each-way for the main selection and 1.5 points win or 0.75 points each-way for the next strongest.
Tips are sent out around 10am each morning so there's plenty of time to get bets on.
We will be following the service over the next few months and will report back each month with an update of our results.

Our Value Backing Naps review ended with a fail rating.

Month One Results
After one month of betting, our Value Backing Naps review almost broke even with a small loss of 0.83 points, which worked out as 1.7% of our starting bank.
There were a few near misses with each-way bets just missing out on the win. Unfortunately, as the odds were below 5/1 on the bets that placed we still made a small loss from them. However, it did help to keep losses down.
The each-way bets seemed to simmer out towards the end of the month, with the final week of tips all being straight win bets. This improved results dramatically with a 16.95 point profit in one week.

Month Two Results
Month two of our Value Backing Naps review ended with a loss of 6.01 points at the available odds. Things weren't quite going to plan and our bank had decreased by 13.7% in two months.
We hoped that the return of UK and Irish racing would see the service get back on track.

Month Three Results
With UK and Irish racing back up and running, the Value Backing Naps service had reverted back to their expertise and were no longer sending out tips for US racing.
We weren't quite sure what to expect with results after the break to racing, but the service managed to break even. At the odds that we could find, we made a small profit of 1.25 points.

Month Five Results
Month five of our Value Backing Naps review finished with a disappointing loss of 31.5 points, which was more than half our bank in the space of one month.
Unfortunately our subscription had ended in August so we didn't receive some tips during that month and began recording again from September. It seems we missed some winners during this time, but given the poor results after this, it wouldn't have made a difference to our final rating.

Review Summary
Our Value Backing Naps review was a struggle from the start with three poor months on the bounce. We had decided to keep the trial running as the UK racing had just returned and perhaps needed time to settle in.
Carl did manage to pull things back but it wasn't long before we experienced a terrible month, losing 63% of our bank in one month.
As we explained above, we did miss out on August's tips due to a mistake with the subscription finishing too early, but this wouldn't have made a difference to our final rating of the service.
It's disappointing as we had awarded pass ratings to Carl Nicholson's tips services before. It hasn't been the easiest of times for him to navigate with the pandemic going on, however, there have been other services that have flourished during that time.
Sadly, it is a "fail" on this occasion.
