A Masterclass in Golf Betting – 80/1 Winner This Week!

Posted on by Peter Ling

With the US Masters just around the corner, Weekly Golf Value has been delivering a Masterclass of its own—consistently uncovering incredible betting value week after week.

Just yesterday, Viktor Hovland landed at 80/1 for WGV subscribers, adding to an already impressive 2025 run. Other big winners this year include Russell Henley (40/1), Joe Highsmith (100/1), and Harris English (80/1), alongside several strong placed finishes.

30.57% ROI Each Way Betting With Bookmakers

Dating back to when the service began in 2019, a £1000 starting bank at that point would have made a £18,407 profit. That is based on 4014 each way bets (to be placed with bookmakers) which have achieved a ROI of 30.57% during that time!

41.63% ROI Win Betting With Betfair

For those of you limited to exchanges, the ‘win-only’ strategy, whereby you back the same players but to win at Betfair, has also made a profit of £12,749 profit at a higher ROI of 41.63% from the same 4014 bets.

You can see the full breakdown of performance via this results sheet​

Where To Find Out More

Each Wednesday, subscribers receive 5-8 top-value bets directly to their inbox, carefully selected using the advanced ‘Golf Tracker’ tool.This streamlined approach requires just 10-15 minutes of your time weekly. ​

You can then either back them each way with the advised bookmakers OR if you are restricted/closed by them – instead back the same players to win on Betfair and/or other exchanges.

⛳PGA Profit: 55/1 and 80/1 Winners From The Two PGA Tournaments Over The Weekend!⛳

Posted on by Josh P

PGA Profit was already having an excellent 2025, with three winners and four places from 42 selections in nine tournaments.

Over the weekend this incredible performance was somehow improved upon, with Matt finding the winners of both PGA tournaments at advised odds of 55/1 and 80/1 (and a 55/1 place for good measure!)

Reading The Tournaments

This means that in the calendar year, PGA Profit’s subscribers have had the following results from just 50 bets:

  • Nick Taylor – winner at 125/1
  • Nico Echavarria – placed 2nd at 80/1
  • Sepp Straka – winner at 66/1
  • Justin Rose – placed 3rd at 150/1
  • Ludvig Aberg – winner at 25/1
  • Aaron Rai – placed 4th at 30/1
  • Stephan Jaeger – placed 6th at 28/1
  • Russell Henley – winner at 55/1
  • Keegan Bradley – placed 5th at 55/1
  • Karl Vilips – winner at 80/1

In all, the headline figures for 2025 are quite remarkable, with over six-hundred-and-seventy-seven points of profit achieved for members from advised stakes.

A Long-Term Edge

Is this level of returns sustainable over the long-term? We wish, but probably not! That’s why taking a look at PGA Profit’s long-term results is useful – here is a summary:

As you can see, over 2,000 bets from over seven years have yielded a 31.55% ROI to advised prices and all but one of PGA Profit’s years of operation have been profitable.
​
By focusing in on one tour, it is evident that the service’s brains, Matt, knows the players and the courses inside out, allowing him to find consistent value.

Exchange Friendly

Some services struggle to translate their performances on exchanges but Matt has developed a separate staking plan to help mimic or imitate each-way betting and this has been extremely successful, as we can see in this table:

In general, winners will see greater returns than bets with bookmakers, whilst placed golfers will generally return less profit. Depending on bookmaker access, your tolerance for greater variance and the exchange outlets available to you, this option may be for you!

Sign Up Now

You can learn more about PGA Profit on the service’s SBC page and that is also where you can find links to sign up and get instant access, with this week’s PLAYERS Championship next on the schedule.

This service is available to all but like most of our Premium Services, there are discounts for SBC Members so getting a paid subscription (which you can find options for here).

If you are interested in getting bets from this long-term winning service then the costs are as follows, with three different options:

  • 1 month – £50 + VAT (£45 for SBC Members)
  • 6 months – £219 + VAT (£205 for SBC Members)
  • 12 months – £379 + VAT (£349 for SBC Members)

As ever, if you have any questions about signing up with us and/or PGA Profit then please reach out and I will get straight back to you. The PLAYERS Championship is one of the best tournaments in the golfing calendar so if you are considering it, please get in before Thursday!

Sign Up To The SBC For INSTANT Access To This Cheltenham Winner’s Exchange Tips!

Posted on by Josh P

With Cheltenham the main focus for most bettors next week, I thought it would be good to let you know about the SBC Hall of Fame rated tipster that has racked up some incredibly impressive results at Prestbury Park down the years!

Last year for example he made a £407 profit (18% ROI) at Cheltenham advising bets on the exchanges to backup his long-term profitable record.

…And the really good news is that just like in 2024, all of his tips next week will be supplied to SBC members free of charge!

Either visit this special Cheltenham 2025 page to learn more or read on…

Sys Analyst: Exchange Expert

One of our top rated Hall of Fame tipsters is Sys Analyst, which is run by Allan Darke and has a long history of beating the bookmaker and these days, the exchanges.

Allan has a phenomenal long-standing ability to win on horse racing and our review of his exchange service in May 2023 outlined this in extensive detail.

Well, the great news is that once again, Allan has agreed to supply ALL his Cheltenham Exchange bets free of charge to SBC members this week.

All bets will be advised at around 1pm each day of Cheltenham (Tuesday 11th to Friday 14th) and come with staking and minimum price guidance for betting on the exchanges.

Performance Records

Allan’s Exchange based tips have racked up some excellent numbers, both at Cheltenham Festival and beyond.

Last year, bets were advised in 27 of the 28 races and a strike rate of 14.7% produced £407.50 of profit from £2,268 of advised staking – a ROI of 18%:

 

You can view a line-by-line record of these excellent Cheltenham bets from last year by clicking here and the Sys Analyst Cheltenham page has more long-term data available.

Here is an overview of his bets prior to 2024 at Cheltenham at Betfair SP, with an even better ROI delivered since 2013!

 

The likelihood is that a 75.4% ROI is a significant overperformance in terms of what we can realistically expect, yet given Allan’s long-term ability to make a substantial profit on horse racing, it is betting with a distinct edge in your favour.

Follow During Cheltenham 2025

To access all of System Analyst’s exchange tips for Cheltenham week, you will need a Smart Betting Club membership.

Different sign up options are available to view here, and with dozens of excellent offers, discounts and trials, any sign up cost can quickly be ‘saved back’ and then some!

Once you are a member, simply visit the Sys Analyst Cheltenham 2025 Page and there you will find the Telegram Group to access his tips next week.

Cheltenham can be a minefield for punters but we have some of the very best tipsters to help you make some serious profit – we would love for you to join us!
