Achievable Value – Horse Racing Selections Designed to be Followed at Betfair SP!
Run by a professional gambler with a profitable record dating back to 2005, Achievable Value is a service with a difference – it is consistently profitable at the Betfair Starting Price (or BSP)!
This model was built to make a profit at Betfair SP, because like most shrewd punters, the tipster was long ago closed down by the bookies and Betfair SP is his only way to get bets on.
Hence the name ‘Achievable Value’ as the bets and odds are 100% Achievable!
In a new, exclusive tie-in with the SBC, Achievable Value is now available as one of our Free Tipsters, meaning that SBC Membership is all that you need to follow selections each day!
If you are an SBC Member, we discuss Achievable Value, who it is for and how best to follow it in our ‘5 Stages of Profitable Betting Podcast (Part 2) . You can listen to that here (member log-in required).
A System for Success At Betfair SP
Achievable Value is the cumulation of multiple betting systems that have been fine-tuned to provide the best results.
An in-house handicapping system, video analysis, form study and the use of tracking software are just some of the key variables that lead to the identification of value selections.
The tipster at the head of the service has a wealth of betting experience and has previously run the (extremely) profitable Blenheim Racing that was hosted and proofed by The Racing Post.

Focussing on horses priced in the ‘sweet spot’ range of 4/1 and 8/1 (with 12/1 being a ‘cut-off’ at the higher end in most cases), Achievable Value aims for a strike-rate of around 20% and has long-term historic Returns On Investment of over 30% at Betfair Starting Price (BSP).
Achievable Value’s Proofed Record with the SBC
Proofing of Achievable Value’s record began in September 2022, with all selections analysed at BSP.
A strike-rate of 16.99% has been recorded during this period with a -12.96 point loss providing a Return On Investment (ROI) of -0.53%.
Full results for the period running from the start of September 2022 are as follows:

It is worth noting that Achievable Value has under-performed during this period compared to historical norms. Some of this may be due to variance, but slight adjustments in the software and selection process have also seen a slight drop off. This is part of the continual improvement that makes the service so successful and a return to historical returns are expected.
At the start of 2024, the service assessed performance with a view to tailoring it more to members’ needs. As a result, they reduced the number of bets that are sent out whilst maintaining the use of different systems that have been profitable historically.
Moving forward, we project around 1,000 bets a year being shared – this equates to roughly 80 bets a month. Average prices may well be a little lower than what has gone before but the projected strike rate will remain steady (at about 25-30%).
This reduction in bets was reflected in February’s bet volume (73) and is likely to stabilise around this number moving forward, with a slight increase in the flat season (in line with the number of daily meetings).
