Andre Gomes NBA Tipster
The Smart Betting Club are delighted to present to you a special deal to follow in top NBA tipster – Andre Gomes until the end of the current 2014/15 NBA season. This follows on from a very successful trial month in November 2014.
With a profitable record betting on the NBA dating back several years and a high-volume approach to betting, Andre offers what we believe to be an excellent opportunity to make money on the sport.
As part of this unique offer, we have negotiated a special deal so that SBC members can follow his NBA tips until the end of the 2014/15 NBA season.
Introducing Andre Gomes (& Read Our Exclusive Interview)
Andre is an Economics Graduate who has been a professional handicapper (or tipster) since 2006, with a clear edge betting on the NBA.
During his first few years, Andre was developing his tipping skills to really understand how to make money betting on the NBA. This hard work has generated its rewards as during the last 2 seasons (2012/13 and 2013/14) he has made significant profits over a statistically viable number of bets.
To the advised 220 pt betting bank, he has made a 153% ROC over the past 2 seasons – a record we expect can be improved upon due to Andre’s very fair odds policy.
To help introduce Andre and his approach to betting further, we also interviewed him recently, which you can download via the link below
The interview reveals plenty on everything including his background, how he bets, his past performance and the practicalities of following him in.

His Betting Record
Below you can find just how Andre’s NBA betting record stacks up over all-time and the last 2 seasons to ‘European Odds’.
(Please note – we expect the actual profits in subsequent seasons to European based decimal odds to be slightly higher in reality due to the more competitive odds you can obtain beyond those Andre quotes – more on this later on)
As we mentioned above, it is during the last 2 seasons that Andre has really started to make significant NBA profits as he explains
“The main reason for the excellent seasons over the last two years was a considerable improvement on my advanced stats and mathematical models/systems. I found an amazing winning formula and with the tweaks that I’ve made on it during this off-season, I expect this upcoming season to be my best NBA season ever!”
Yearly Record
For completeness, here is the yearly breakdown of Andre’s NBA betting history where you can see the difference over the past 2 seasons as explained by his improved stats and mathematical modelling.
To showcase his success, Andre has supplied the following record of his NBA betting performance.
You can also access a spreadsheet record of performance here (Google documents link)
Andre keeps records to 2 main methods as follows:
Eur 3-4-5: Each bet is for either 3, 4 or 5 point stakes and is recorded at traditional European odds such as 1.91 (10/11). Effectively risking £100 to win £91.
USA 3-4-5: Each bet is for either 3, 4 or 5 point stakes as is recorded at USA based odds such as -110. Effectively risking $110 to win $100.
Andre also keeps the 3rd following record as well:
USA 1-2-3: This is the same as USA 3-4-5 except the staking is adjusted to 1,2 and 3 points
Each of these bets were archived and proofed with a time stamp via the Pre Game website. We have also been proofing Andre ourselves directly for several months and he has come highly recommended to us via a number of other trusted sources.
2014/15 Season Record
To showcase Andre’s service we offered a special trial package to all SBC members during the month of November, during which time Andre impressed with the quality of his tipping. Following on from this trial month, we subsequently are now offering a membership package to follow him in until the end of the 2014/15 NBA season.
Up to and including the 18th March 2015, Andre’s record at the best available European odds so far this season is as follows:

It has been a very good start to the season, although we do have to expect some variance at some point and a reduction in overall ROI. Like all tipsters, Andre is not exempt from losing runs so we need to be realistic here.
How Andre’s Service Works
As a member of Andre’s service, you can expect to receive all of his NBA tips via email.
As Andre is a high-volume tipster, you can expect to receive several bets most days, because as he states…”there is no such thing as too many good bets“.
The average expectancy is for around 40 NBA bets each week, which are released at different points throughout each afternoon/evening, with the final update being released generally no later than 11pm CET.
Please be aware this is a service best followed by those with the time to follow several bets each day and who prefer a high-turnover approach to betting.
Improving Profits With European Odds/Bookies
It is our belief that those of you who back Andre via traditional European Decimal Odds (i.e. Placing bets at odds of 1.91 rather than the Americanised line of -110) will be able to improve upon the profits listed.
This is because the majority of Andre’s existing clients are American citizens, and they are restrained when it comes to using the “best” sportsbooks in the market. Thus to avoid any kind of potential confusion regarding the recorded picks odds, Andre only quoted USA bookie odds (as taken from either Bookmaker, The Greek, 5 Dimes or Betonline) that usually set their lines @ -110 / 1.91 odds for Handicaps and Totals.
Therefore a European client that can use the likes of Pinnacle Sports, 5 Dimes or Matchbook in their portfolio, would often get better lines around 99% of the time as Pinnacle usually set their lines @ -105 / 1.95.
This fact alone (1.91 odds vs. 1.95 upwards) is enough to boost considerably the profits, especially because we are dealing with almost 1000 picks per season in the NBA.
You can of course also simply follow Andre’s tips using these American style odds, backing $110 to win $100 on each bet.
From the 2014/15 season, Andre is also keeping a record of prices to the best European odds to provide a fair comparison.
Bookmakers
As mentioned above, in previous seasons, Andre has advised all bets with the following bookmakers and quoted USA bookie lines only: Bookmaker, The Greek, 5 Dimes or Betonline.
This season, Andre is quoting odds from Matchbook for UK based clients keen to take European Odds. Those of you who have access to a Pinnacle Sports account will also be able to utilise their sportsbook to place bets.
Here is an example as to how you can expect to receive bets:
NBA Pick #1: Atlanta Hawks @ San Antonio Spurs
Rating: 3 units – Single Dime Play
Pick: San Antonio Spurs (-11)
Odds: -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker OR -103 / 1.97 on Matchbook
