2 Seasons Football Tipping = 12.2% ROI From 2000+ Bets

Posted on by

>
If you are looking for tipsters to help you make money betting then 1 of the 4 experts we reviewed in the latest SBC Magazine (Issue 97) will be right up your street (Especially at the moment during Euro 2016!)

This particular football tipster has a very impressive record with a 12.2% ROI from over 2000 bets from the first 22 months of their service – up to Mid-April 2016, which was the cut-off point for our initial review.

The even better news is that since then, this service has thrived – adding a further 20.79 points profit at 14.58% ROI from their most recent 152 bets. This includes advice so far during the Copa America and Euro 2016 tournaments, where they are also sitting on a host of good looking ante-post bets.

And this added to the fact they are offering ALL Smart Betting Club members 35% off the cost of the service before the 1st August 2016 – makes it an ideal service to consider joining.

If subscribing to their service for 6 months or more, the discounts on offer can save you more than the cost of joining the Smart Betting Club itself – making it a total no-brainer if interested in how they can help you.

Full details on this service, including our in-depth 8 page review scrutinising everything from type of bet performance, staking, betting banks, odds availability and practicality can be found in SBC 97.

Real-Life Story: £20k In Profit In 2015….

Over the course of the past 10 years we have helped many people with their betting, such as ‘Pendo’ who has been a Smart Betting Club member since 2012.

After following our advice not just on the best tipsters but setting up his betting banks properly, he is now cashing in – making a 20k profit in 2015 alone.

He was happy to pen a few words to help explain just how SBC has helped him with his betting…

‘I Am Hugely In Profit’

“The Smart Betting Club has completely changed my whole outlook on the way I bet. I follow four really genuine hard working tipsters all of whom have been recommended by SBC and can confirm that everything that they print is 100 percent true. They never hide anything.

You can never predict how a tipster is going to do in the next 12 months, but SBC’s reports help point out those they feel offer the best chance of success. What I can say is that I personally won 20 grand last year in 2015. This year (2016) hasn’t been as good yet as I’m down about £1000 but its very early days. Overall I am hugely in profit and thats vitally important.

Another very important thing I can advise is to keep a record of all your bets and have a betting bank of a good size (follow the SBC recommendations!). Its easy to be a good winner, anyone can do that but it’s when thing go wrong that you have to trust the guy or guys that you use and I trust SBC and the tipsters they recommend.

It has taken me a few years to actually learn how to manage my betting bank as I never used to have a spreadsheet to keep a record of my bets .So when I was on a bad run which happens a lot I thought I was losing in the long run when I wasn’t! I was actually in profit but the most recent losses skewed my feelings from reality!

I still make mistakes myself but I’m not perfect, yet im still showing a very large profit. If you want to make money it isn’t easy but if you put the time and effort you will get the rewards if you keep at it.”

‘Pendo’. SBC Member since 2012

970x60_V2May16off

Why Ten Years Matters In The Tipping World

Pendo’s story is similar to many other Smart Betting Club members I have had the pleasure of speaking to over the years who continue to make money betting.

After all, over 85% of those surveyed in our end of year members poll told us they made a profit in 2015 – far greater than the usual 1% or so who make a profit betting usually.

So why not take the plunge, save yourself £16 and enter the world of professional betting.

Why Ten Years Matters In The Tipping World

Ten years is a long time in any business, yet it is a lifetime in the tipping world – so how have we lasted the test of time?

We like to think this is down to our independent review stance and the unique way in which we are funded, which allows us to tell it like it is.

So rather than making a cut from sales of the tipsters we review (which is how all other review sites work), instead we charge you a membership fee for access to our reports and magazines, which allows us to be independent.

Ultimately this means we can tell you the truth where others won’t. If we don’t rate a tipster, we will tell you – regardless of how much money they might offer us to say otherwise.

Thus ensuring you can trust our opinion at all times on just which tipsters can make you money betting.

Real-Life Story: £11,595 net profit in 2015 & finally credit-card debt free

Over the course of the past 10 years we have helped many people with their betting, yet recently one member emailed in with details on his own unique journey from perennial loser to long-term winner.

His name is Steve and he has been a member of the Smart Betting Club since May 2014.

Here is his story in his own words…

£11,595 net profit in 2015 & finally credit-card debt free

“For me it all started back in January 2014 when I received a glossy item of junk mail from a ‘racing club’ offering me a 4 week trial to include a ‘HUGE GAMBLE’ at Chepstow on 22nd February – all for the massive discount of £49 – saving me a huge £71.

I took no action and ignored it – but I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I started to wonder if there was some organisation that rates/monitors these racing clubs/tipsters. A month or so later I started to ‘scratch that itch’ and did some research on-line and eventually stumbled on a blog called ‘The Portfolio Investor’ written by Rowan Day.  Here for the first time – I learnt that following a portfolio of carefully chosen tipsters could be profitable – with a fair degree of patience and discipline.  Rowan also mentioned ‘The Smart Betting Club’ in fairly glowing terms, so I looked them up.

It’s worth pointing out that I’ve not been a fan of horse racing – or gambling for that matter and up to this point – had only dabbled with very small stakes (up to a fiver). So the idea of parting with £79 to join ‘The Smart Betting Club’, wasn’t an easy decision – £79 was (and still is) a lot of money to me!  But after a couple of month’s deliberation and further reading of Rowan’s blog, I took the plunge on 1st May 2014 and paid my £79 to join. There was a money back guarantee after all, so what had I got to lose?

I opened a separate bank account and email account as recommended and then joined 3 horse racing tipsters including the ‘Northern Monkey Punter’ and have to admit that I got lucky with some good returns in my first couple of months – it all seemed to be too easy! Towards the end of the year I hit a losing run and ditched a couple of tipsters in favour of SBC ‘Hall of Fame’ recommendations.  Losing runs are horrible, but provide a useful reality check – and I found myself re-reading the SBC’s ‘Professional Gambler Blueprint’ over and over to make sure I wasn’t making silly mistakes (I was) !

2015 started slowly and I didn’t make a penny of profit for the first 10 weeks.  Then came Cheltenham and at last – a chink of light !  Sadly Cheltenham was followed by another 4 barren weeks until Aintree when another good 3 days produced a little profit.  With this profit, I took the plunge and joined another Hall of Fame tipster. That was back in May of last year and I haven’t looked back since!  I currently follow 5 racing tipsters, all of whom are SBC reviewed and recommended.

During 2015, I managed an incredible net profit of £11,595 (after £1,764 of tipster subscription and SBC fees were deducted).  I’m now free from credit card debt for the first time in years and am planning a cruise with my long suffering wife for our Silver wedding anniversary in October this year – happy days!

I know it all sounds easy – but it does require a daily commitment to follow my chosen tipsters – every day of every week – the novelty has long since worn off!  Patience and discipline are also attributes that you cannot have too much of. Keeping a record and checking the latest Tipster Profit Report are also essential steps towards making some money and staying profitable.  So in 2 years I’ve come a long way –  I’ve made some mistakes and learned from them.  And I’ve really started to enjoy horse racing and went to my first race meeting last June at Royal Ascot – great fun !

Could I have done it without ‘The Smart Betting Club’?  Not a chance.”

Better than Betfair? The betting exchange offering low commission & good football odds!

Posted on by


As part of our preparation for the new football season, we spoke to the betting exchange, Smarkets, to get the very latest on their service and just why punters should consider them when football betting.

With some extremely competitive odds, 2% commission rates on winning bets only and a wide range of markets on offer, they are fast becoming the must-have betting account for punters everywhere.

Smarkets Betting Exchange

Special 1% Commission Deal: The great news is that as an SBC reader, you can pay 1% commission on your first week of betting with Smarkets PLUS enjoy a £10 risk free bonus. Click here to open a new Smarkets account.

SBC: First off, can you explain why punters should consider using Smarkets?

Smarkets is the smart choice for price sensitive customers. We offer the lowest industry commission, only on winning bets, and this allows us to consistently offer the best odds on any market we offer.

As a quick comparison of how you would be better off at Smarkets let’s compare the odds for the top 5 to win the premier league title at a selection of bookmakers and Smarkets (odds correct at the time of writing this interview). We are offering the best odds on Chelsea, Man City & Liverpool, even when you account for our low commission, which is on winning bets only.

Smarkets Betting Exchange Odds

SBC: What are your current commission rates?

Smarkets customers pay a flat 2% commission on all winning bets. Customers who sign up through the Smart Betting Club do have a special deal though and receive a week at 1% commission, along with the £10 risk free bonus. This applies to your first week of bet settlement.

SBC:  Can you remind readers of the football markets you offer?

We’re really excited about the start of the new football seasons across Europe. Smarkets offers all the biggest leagues in the world, all the way through the Conference in England with all the regular markets like over / unders, correct score and of course 1×2. The bigger the league, the more liquidity will be available, but football and horses are our strongest areas and we intend to keep it that way.

SBC: What new leagues or markets are you offering this football season?

We’ve just added the Premier League winner and relegation markets, and the Championship outright winner market as well. Customers backing long term markets at a bookmaker aren’t going to see a return for up to 9 months, but trading at Smarkets lets you get in and out of the market and take profit throughout the year without tying your bankroll up.

SBC: One concern punters have with exchanges is the amount of money or liquidity available in your betting markets. How does that stand up on Smarkets?

Liquidity is always improving, we are growing at an incredible rate and with more customers comes more liquidity. We’re especially strong on football and horse racing, but customers should have no trouble getting their trades on and matched in most sports. Essentially we want people to know that they can bet with confidence with Smarkets, that their bets will be matched (at reasonable odds of course!) and that our in-play offering has improved immeasurably since the start of the last football season.

Fink Tank Service

SBC: How exactly have your in-play markets improved?

Since the start of last season in-play has seen a huge lift in liquidity which makes it quicker and easier to get bets down on during the match. We’ve also cleaned up the interface and added a play tracker that shows you which team is attacking, defending and key moments.

SBC: How about betting on a mobile or tablet with Smarkets?

You can use your mobile or tablet to bet with Smarkets. There is an android app available and we’re working on IOS at the moment. There’s also a great mobile version of the site that’s compatible with most handsets and gives you the same great value prices as the desktop site.

SBC: Another concern for exchange punters is site stability, something Betfair continually suffer from a lack of. How stable is the Smarkets website?

Vast improvements have been made to the site stability in the last 6 months. Smarkets has been aggressively hiring which has seen the engineering team increase by 50%. This, alongside investment into hardware has helped to prepare the site to allow for greater scalability as more and more customers join. Like all sites there are some things outside of our control, but we work harder than everyone else to put the customer first and get them back to trading as soon as possible. We’re also open about our stability, it’s there to see on Smarkets for anyone who wants to know what our uptime record is and how many breaks there have been in availability https://smarkets.com/about/status/

SBC: What other developments are new on Smarkets since we last spoke?

There’s been massive investment in the development team to ensure the site is able to cope with the huge upturn in customers and traffic we’re seeing. With every new customer there is more liquidity in the markets and that’s part of the service we want to provide to everyone.

SBC: Finally, can you explain how the £10 risk free bonus works for new customers?

The sign up offer is £10 risk free following an initial deposit of £20 or more. It’s probably the simplest bonus available at any site! Just start placing your trades and the bonus automatically refunds your first £10 in losses, direct to your account, in cash.

We run promotions throughout the year (Wimbledon Men’s Final tickets was a big one over the summer), and this season will be no different with plenty planned to give value back to our customers.

And as the festival draws to a close, we’d like to sweeten any post Cheltenham blues with a discount of up to 15% discount off an SBC membership.
