Introduction
QF Value Tips, run by well known tipster Quentin Franks is a horse racing tipping service that focuses on finding great value in the racing markets.
The service has averaged an impressive 20.04% ROI since starting back in 2016 and has showed consistent bank growth to hit £5495.60 to £10 bets (to date of this review).
Quentin sends his tips out daily between 5.30-7.30pm and averages around 36 tips per month.
He recommends a starting bank of 200 points, so £10 bets will require a bank of £2000. That's what I will be using for my QF Value Tips review over the next 3 months.
Results
Week 1 and no winners so far. One race was abandoned due to poor weather but it is still very early days and I am hoping for better weeks to come.

Review Conclusion
I extended my review of this service, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, to 16 weeks and I wasn't disappointed!
My QF Value Tips review ended with 30.36 points profit and a great winner at odds of 17.00 in the very last week.
With consistent profits banked over the 16 weeks I will be adding this tipster to my list of recommended services.
