The Best Betting Mobile Phones & Tablets

Posted on by Mike

Modern technology is undoubtedly making betting easier and quicker, so knowing which mobile phone or tablet to buy for betting with is a crucial question for any gambler.

All of this is why we at the Smart Betting Club have just published the second part of our ‘Betting on The Move’ series of articles, designed to help you pick the right mobile phone or tablet – and all from a betting perspective. It’s also an ideal time to buy or upgrade your mobile or tablet, with all the new models out just in time for Christmas.

Why There Are No Guaranteed Winners When Betting

Posted on by Mike

If you are like me then every once in a while you will receive emails and mail shots from wannabe ‘tipsters’ offering the chance to follow their betting advice and pick up ‘guaranteed winners’. Often it goes along the likes of, “If I send you one tip that I guarantee will win, will you then pay me £50 to send you another’?

Thankfully, I am wise to these scams (as hopefully are many of you) with them often exposed on the SBC Forum for what they are, but it’s easy to understand the appeal of a guaranteed winner. They might come from a ‘well connected source’ who gives you a nod and wink and sounds convincing. After all, we all love the idea of knowing something that others don’t.

But in betting, there are never ‘guaranteed winners’.

Here are some examples of ‘when guaranteed winners go wrong’:

  • Reading V Arsenal & Germany V Sweden: Both Reading and Germany were 4-0 up and cruising to victory against their opponents recently, until conceding a whole host of goals to both lose and draw their games respectively. There were huge sums of money backing both Reading and Germany at 1.01 ‘in-play’ when 4-0 up and those that did so must have lost a small fortune.
  • Senegal beating France in 2002. Massively against the odds, Senegal shocked the world by beating France in the 2002 World cup. I know of at least one person who lost thousands on that match betting on the ‘sure thing’ of a French victory.
  • Horses trading at 1.01 on Betfair…only to lose: Every week (and sometimes every day) a horse will be miles in front only to fall at the final hurdle. Anyone backing the sure thing at 1.01 looking for free money can often end up with egg on their face. Check out this site for stats on 1.01 losers a in 2011 alone, a total of £2.258.695,16 was matched on them to win…and duly lost!

Adopt The Mindset Of A Pro Gambler

Posted on by Mike

For any wannabe Pro Gambler, there are  2 key hurdles to overcome when it comes to making money betting, which are…

1) Having access to winning information and correct money management; and
2) Adopting the mindset of a winner.

In my experience, far too many people rely solely on 1) and expect that 2) will just fall into place as they go along. This is not always the case. After all, its a well known stat that only 2% of all who gamble actually go on to make a profit, leaving the other 98% to swell the bookies coffers.

So how then do you adopt the mindset of a betting winner?

Well for starters understanding how that big lump of grey matter insider our heads actually works can really help. Continue reading →

Understanding Value Betting & Why Its So Important

Posted on by Mike

How much exactly would you pay for a plain old cup of coffee at Starbucks?

  • Nothing, I’ll make may own and I like tea anyway!
  • £2.00
  • £5.00
  • £20.00

Unless you’re particularly desperate, most people will say either A or B. We all have similar ideas of the value of a cup of coffee and so do Starbucks. Charging £20.00 for a cuppa will soon put them out of business, but what has this got to do with betting?

Its All About Value…

Betting has never been more popular and with the Daily Express reporting this week that its likely to get even bigger thanks to Seb Coe and London 2012, more and more people are looking to understand the topic.

Plenty of people therefore are joining us at the Smart Betting Club for help and the biggest change I see in our members is when they stop thinking in just terms of what will win and start thinking about value betting. Continue reading →

How to access the system that made over £5000 last season and more…

Posted on by Mike

Today, I wanted to fill you in a little bit on one of the lesser-known benefits of being a Smart Betting Club member – the performance of the many free, systems, tips & strategies that are posted up on our members forum.

To harness the collective power of our community of clued-up gamblers, we setup the forum as a place where many members can post for free their own tips. The upshot of this is that many of them are performing very well indeed and with our daily ‘best of forum’ email – you can now get them all sent to your inbox for free.

Take for example our Fink Tank system, which made over £5000 at £100 level stakes Continue reading →

Beating The Bookies With Niche Betting

Posted on by Mike

One of the best ways to make money betting is to focus on areas where the bookmakers are vulnerable and what we call ‘niche betting’.

In plain English, this means specialising in areas that the overworked and over stretched bookmaker odds compilers may not have time for.

For example, any bookie worth his salt knows all the inside outs of a Man United – Chelsea Champions League game, but how much would they know about Histon V Darlington, a game only 277 people will attend?

Taking this further:

  • Do you know more than the bookies when it comes to French & Belgium cycling?
  • How much more do you know about minor Golf or Tennis tournaments?
  • How strong is your lower league Scottish Football expertise?
  • National Hunt chase races – Is this a field you specialise in?

Often bookies simply don’t have the resources or depth of knowledge to cover every single sport or league. They still however price many of these events up and so are very vulnerable to ‘niche betting’ experts.

Niche Betting Experts, Tipsters & Forum Advice

We have long since championed niche betting and recently released our ‘Build Your Own Betting Niche’ article, written specifically for the Smart Betting Club by non-league football betting expert – Skeeve.

Skeeve is well known for being perhaps the best non-league football betting expert out and has been making fantastic profits for a number of years betting in the Blue Square leagues. Bookies hate him but SBC members love him!

His special niche betting guide shows you how to replicate his own success and it’s a great place to start learning about putting it all into practice.

That’s not all though as here at the Smart Betting Club we also feature advice from other specialist experts, review niche betting tipsters and feature free advice up on our members forum.

Check some of our Niche Betting features below…
