Premier Greyhound Tips Review – Why It Didn’t Work for Me
Quick Summary
Introduction
Introducing Michael, who has been providing greyhound racing tips at Betting Gods since 2014.
On starting my review, I checked the latest statistics for the service and found that they had reported some of the best results that I had ever come across, delivering an average monthly profit of 25.24 points over the previous 12 months.
Aside from the amazing results, I was also pleased to see that all of Michael’s bets come with a detailed explanation behind them, so you can understand why the runner has been selected.
I find that this makes all the difference in a tipping service, as you can see that the bets have been thoroughly researched and that the tipster has good knowledge of the sport.

Putting It to the Test
The stats on the sales page were jaw-dropping, but as always, I needed to see how the service would perform for myself. I put together a plan to track around 200 bets at the bookmaker odds that were readily available.
The bookies often cut Greyhound racing odds quickly, so to test the service in a way that’s fair to punters, I recorded results at what odds were available five minutes after the bets were posted.
I also made sure that they were available on at least two bookie sites, as that is what it stated in the member’s area of the Betting Gods website:
“Results will be recorded using odds available with at least 2 bookmakers (if 2 bookmakers are not available we will use SP)“
With notifications set up for the Betting Gods app, I hoped that would give me enough time to get bets on, as long as my bookmaker accounts were funded ahead of time.

Review Notes
For this tipster trial, I aimed for 200 bets in order to be able to analyse the results fairly.
However, I reached 160 bets, and at that point, I felt that there was a clear problem with the service and there was no point continuing my trial any longer.
My review ran from 2nd May to 28th September 2023.
The period from 28th to 31st July was not included in my results due to an annual break, and I just so happened to miss several winning bets totalling 63.52 points profit.
This was unfortunate, but ultimately would not change the outcome of my review.
My results include profit and loss at the odds that the tipster provided, as well as odds that I could find at multiple bookmakers. I also recorded results at Betfair SP for good measure.
Premier Greyhound Tips Review Results
I had a very interesting set of results for Premier Greyhound Tips after recording 160 bets, as there was a vast difference in my results and the tipster’s results.
That is not to say that his figures are wrong, it is just that a lot of the time the odds that he quoted when he sent his tips out seemed to be cut almost right away.
Early into my review, I felt that it was going to be a big problem for those following the service, and as it went on, it became clear that it definitely would be.
At the odds advised, the service lost 21.85 points during my trial. However, at the odds that I could find within five minutes of the tips going out, it turned out to be a loss of 101.54 points.
That was a difference of 79.69 points!
In terms of money, that works out as a loss of £1,015.40 based on £10 per point.
I found that the service did not record odds at SP where they were not available at more than one bookmaker, which was disappointing, as it was a factor that really skewed the results.
Put simply, if you don’t have a Bet365 account, you will likely struggle to match the odds in the long run, and if you do have one, you probably won’t have it for long!
And even then, you have to be ultra quick before the odds are cut at the one bookie that is available.
I found that on a Saturday, the odds tended to hang around for longer and were more readily available across bookies, so perhaps a Saturday service could be an idea.
It is a shame, as it is clear that the tipster is on to something, but the bookies are obviously on to him too.
Final Verdict
To sum up, the difference in results between the quoted prices and the odds available was huge and would render the service useless for most punters.
On that basis, I cannot recommend Premier Greyhound Tips.
If you’re curious despite my verdict, there is a £5 trial available here. Just be aware of the issues that I experienced.
