In this article, I’ll be crunching the numbers for my August tips on Betting.co.uk. Thankfully, it’s another month of extremely pleasant reading. The end of August also marks six months of me being the resident horse racing tipster here, so I’ll be looking at the overall figures for you too. If you have been following my tips since I first started, it’s safe to say it will have been well worth your while!
If you haven’t read my articles before, I typically produce four each week. The majority are daily betting tips. However, I do also publish other types of content like big race trends, guides and antepost betting tips. In terms of antepost content, I have selections for the St Leger later this month, the Cesarewitch Handicap next month and the King George VI Chase in December. I have even looked ahead to next year and have tips for the 2026 Cheltenham Festival and 2026 Aintree Grand National too.
Having a selection of bookmakers at your fingertips is always a good move, and finding an offer like the one at Unibet makes the brand well worth signing up with! If you bet £10, they’ll give you £40 of bonuses. With £20 to bet on the sport of your choice, and another £20 to spend in the casino, this is a very generous deal.
When following a tipster, you want to know one thing above all - are their betting tips any good? Today I can confirm that my free-to-access tips here on Betting.co.uk have been doing very well indeed! In the next sections of this article, I’ll go through the full numbers with you, based on the five months since the partnership began.
I am happy to see every winner come in, knowing that I have backed it, but that my Discord members and many Betting.co.uk readers have too. Of course, the big-priced winners are always the most special. Of the five winners I tipped during August, two of them came in at at double-figure prices, and were advised as follows:
These two stand out from the others due to their prices. However, we also enjoyed wins with Whathappensinvegas, Cancan In The Rain, and Tronido at prices of 9/1, 10/3 (20p Rule 4) and 8/1 (10p Rule 4) respectively. In addition to that, we made a profit on places from Dancing In Paris, Frost At Dawn and Couer d’Or at prices of 11/2, 18/1 and 14/1. All of those successful runners gave us an overall profit of +28.637pts for the month!
With a healthy plus figure for August, we’ve enjoyed five out of six profitable months. Our only losing month was April, where we had plenty of hard luck stories, yet only finished 4.25pts down. That figure is dwarfed when compared to the profit achieved during the other five months, especially August!
If you have been following my betting advice consistently, you would have seen a profit in March, May, June, July and August. Over those months, as well as your total stakes back, you would have also enjoyed profits of +1.99pts, +8.44pts, +4.675pts, +10.04pts and +28.637pts respectively.
As always, you cannot win them all. Ups and downs must be expected when betting. The key to success is making a long term profit, and now that I have six months of results for my Betting.co.uk tips, I can prove that I am doing that.
If you’re looking to get rich quickly, betting is not the answer. In fact, if you are forcing bets, especially accumulators, and trying to make a profit, rather than being selective, betting is a quickfire route to the poor house. Sure, you may land the odd multiple, and the odd person may make a profit, but as a rule, bookmakers love accas, as there is almost always one or more legs that will let you down. The way to hurt the bookies is with singles, and gradually grinding away with steady, value bets.
I have a full six months worth of results now since becoming the resident horse racing tipster here, and proof that my tips have produced a profit of 49.532pts. If you are lucky enough to have access to Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) that overall profit increases to 55.042pts.
You may have heard the phrase Return On Investment (ROI). My tips over the last six months have produced a ROI of 41.28% which increases to 45.87% for those with BOG available. What this means, is that for every £100 staked on my advised bets, you would have seen £141.28 returned. To give this some further context, if you followed the points advised, with £10 allocated per point, you would have generated a very healthy profit of £495.32 over the last six months.
Here is my results breakdown for August only:
| Excluding Best Odds Guaranteed | Including Best Odds Guaranteed | |
| Staked | 16pts | 16pts |
| Returned | 44.637pts | 44.687pts |
| Profit | 28.637pts | 28.687pts |
| ROI | 178.98% | 179.29% |
And here is the full breakdown covering March to August:
| Excluding Best Odds Guaranteed | Including Best Odds Guaranteed | |

I’m absolutely over the moon with the results to date. Hopefully you are enjoying following my betting tips, and putting them to good use too. I put in a lot of work to make these results happen, and it’s always nice to see that my efforts are proving worthwhile. My work will continue into September, and hopefully I’ll have more fantastic results to report at the end of the month.
Below you will see some of the fantastic free bet offers currently available from our recommended bookmaker brands. Make sure to check them out, there’s plenty of value to be had from these deals! You can use the free bets on offer to give yourself an edge over the bookmakers this week!
While I typically produce four articles each week for Betting.co.uk with free access to my betting tips, the majority of my selections are exclusively for my Discord members.
We enjoyed amazing results in August, recording an overall profit of +48.374pts. That followed on nicely from July, which ended with a profit of +29.239pts!
The Discord has seen an overall profit since I launched it in January 2024, and it has been particularly profitable over the last two months, as you can see. Results should be judged both short term and long term, but especially the latter and fortunately, both are looking great!
