Blue Sky was founded in 2006 by racing expert David Lyons and has brought considerable pleasure and financial gain to its members ever since. Blue Sky is in it for the long haul – being a Blue Sky member is a long-term investment strategy, not a quick way to a fast buck.
How does it work?
The Blue Sky philosophy focuses on waiting for real investment opportunities. Winners evolve by practicing patience and stealth and acting upon accurate information. Take a close look at the results to see how we practice what we preach.
The club operates by sourcing the very best inside information and using it in combination with astute form analysis and regular market monitoring to determine the selections. Using the information in this way ensures the tips are up-to date, accurate and yield a good return from favourable odds. In a nutshell – if it’s not worth betting on, David won’t release the tip.

How do the results work?
- Each bet is a £100 stake
- £100 represents a 1 unit bet
- Therefore a winner at 3/1 = £300 or 3 point profit
How can I access the tips?
The members enclosure of the website is updated daily to let members know whether there will be a tip. The tips are then distributed to members via SMS and email, at the most appropriate time for that race. It could be any time from 10am, to take advantage of a morning price, or 30 minutes before the race once David has seen the horse and the opposition in the flesh.
Does that mean I have to be available all day or I miss out?
For members who are too busy to place the bets themselves, or don’t want the responsibility of being available when the tip comes through, we operate a bet placement service. As long as members have an account with a bookmaker and are happy to give us their account details, we can place the bet for them, as soon as we have distributed the tips. All they have to do is sit back and watch their money grow! Click here for bet placement service prices.
Will my chance of making money diminish as more people join?
To enable our members to reap the maximum rewards from the club, Blue Sky membership is capped at 300. This means that when a bet is given out the price is there for all clients to get on.

Does it really work?
Don’t just take our word for it – Steve Rayner has been with Blue Sky since day one and has found the service to be so successful that he has changed his work schedule so he can concentrate on racing in the afternoons. He only invests in Blue Sky and believes that you can turn it into your main occupation, “as long as you get the psychology right and you’re disciplined about it”.
“If you were investing in shares and they went down, you’d expect it to happen occasionally and you’d wait for things to pick up, but you certainly wouldn’t panic and pull all your money out. The same approach needs to be taken with horse racing. People need to look at it long term: not every selection will win, you are going to have losing months, but I don’t think you’d ever have a losing year with Blue Sky.
I’m from a betting background so I’ve got the right mindset, but anyone can do it you just need to approach it in the right way. I started with a £3,000 betting bank and bet £100 on every point, but since then I’ve increased my stake five times.
I bet on every tip, I always bet a level stake and get on every bet as early as possible. If the early price has gone too quickly or is too different from what it should be, I hold fire and wait for the on course betting to start. I also don’t take my money out of the betting bank all the time, I take chunks out when the time’s right and leave the rest where it is.
My advice would be: Don’t worry about losing runs, they happen. If you start with the right betting bank, the losers shouldn't really concern you. As long as your graph goes up over the year, then you’re doing well - a 50% strike rate is incredible! Plus you need to bet on every tip with a full level stake, otherwise you can never judge whether it works… And it really does work”.
