European Basketball Tipster Demetrio Giotti Delivers 22.3% ROI in 2024/25

Posted on by Peter Ling

Beating Pinnacle and the market on a sharp sport is no easy task — but once again during the 2024/25 season, Demetrio Giotti, SBC’s expert European basketball tipster, has done exactly that.

Since launching his service in 2016, Demetrio has delivered exceptional returns in one of the toughest betting arenas out there. Across his official bets he has produced:

  • 259.5 units profit
  • 15% ROI from over 925 bets

In 2024–25, he once again proved his edge:

  • +40.4 units profit on official bets resulting in an 80.8% ROC (Return on Capital)
    With the average recommended bankroll of €4,000, that translates to a profit of € 3,232 (before subscription fees)
  • 22.3% ROI across 103 bets
  • +11.3 units profit on extra unofficial bets at a 24.0% ROI


His Edge At Advised & Closing Prices

But it’s not just headline results that impress. His value is backed by hard data, including the fact that even betting at closing odds with Pinnacle, his ROI is 7.82%.

Of course – it’s better to bet on Demetrio’s selections earlier than this, and at his advised prices (where he had a 22.3% ROI and 80.8% ROC last season) , yet it showcases 1) his edge on closing prices and 2) his knowledge of European Basketball leagues and competitions.

In other words, even if you couldn’t grab the advised prices, just betting close to tip-off would still have made you a 62.4% ROC at the very least!  With the average recommended bankroll of € 4,000, that translates to a profit of € 2,496 (before subscription fees)

Demetrio’s approach is built on discipline, precision, and patience — and it shows in his end-of-season message below. More than just a recap, it’s a roadmap for how to think like a serious bettor. It explains how to ride out drawdowns, why bankroll discipline matters, and how to judge whether you still hold an edge. It’s well worth your time.

If you want to join Demetrio for the 2025–26 campaign, now’s the time to join his waiting list.

End-of-Season Message from Demetrio Giotti:

Hello,

A great season comes to an end with both official (40.4u / 22.3% ROI) and unofficial bets (11.3u / 24.0% ROI) performing superbly, as we bounce back from a break-even 2023-24 campaign.

When the season ends, I usually prepare a small review highlighting key facts and metrics, but this time, I decided to do something different. I will take you back exactly one year when I posted last season’s (2023-24) review. Please do yourself a favor and read the following carefully. Even better, save this email and when the next drawdown hits, read it again. I promise, it will make you a much more successful bettor and investor.

So, here’s an excerpt from that review:

“If you joined in early 2024 as I know a few of you did, it was obviously really bad luck and timing. It’s probably the second worst thing that can happen to a bettor. Joining a tipster service right after a very hot start, only to experience a big drawdown the following period. I’m saying it’s the second worst thing because there’s something even worse. That’s quitting altogether and taking the loss after a poor start, only to see the service recover and reach new highs a few months later.

Personally, I try to view periods of the inevitable drawdowns in sports betting as unrealized losses. You lose only when you decide to quit. You win when you stay the course following a proven and profitable long-term strategy. Easier said than done obviously in times when emotions are running high. I know how psychologically draining drawdowns can be, but in periods such as these, you need objective facts not letting emotions take over.

Speaking of objective facts, as the following numbers (during this drawdown) indicate beyond any doubt, the edge of the service remains intact. In other words, nothing more than negative variance at play.

In terms of drawdowns, we slightly exceeded the 2020 levels (25.1 units in 2020, 26.7 units now in 2024), so nothing out of the ordinary really. And you can see what followed right after. Cumulatively a little over 97 units won during the 2021-2023 period. I don’t have a crystal ball to predict the future but there is nothing to suggest that we won’t bounce back sooner or later…”

Fast forward one year, and that message aged like fine wine — 100% accurate, zero guesswork. Still no crystal ball though… Just cold math and stubborn patience!

Do realize that drawdowns in sports betting are inevitable no matter how profitable the strategy or tipster you follow are. So, instead of panicking and acting irrationally when the next one hits, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to deal with them:

Step 1-> Establish how deep a drawdown can get beforehand. In the case of my service, 20 to 30 units of drawdown are completely normal and will INEVITABLY happen once in a while. In fact, using the advanced analytics from the SBC review of my service, we can see there is a 1% chance of even hitting 40 units. Sure, it’s very unlikely, but still within the realm of possibilities.

Now, because 20 or 30 units may sound abstract, always calculate what that number would look like in your currency. So, if you are using for example a $4000 bankroll, then your stake per unit is $80, which means a 25-unit drawdown equals a 25 X $80 = $2000 (temporary) loss. Be prepared mentally for drawdowns like that (or even worse!), so you don’t get caught by surprise or spooked when these happen.

One last thing to keep in mind. I’ve been betting for nearly 15 years and I can tell you from experience that drawdowns are ALWAYS tough. Sure, they become a bit easier to handle over time, but extended losing runs test your patience and mental strength. But like any challenge, if you’re prepared, you’ll get through it and come out ahead. If not, it can be a really tough lesson. Just ask those who gave up last season during a perfectly normal drawdown. They’re probably kicking themselves now. Don’t let that be you!

TLDR-> Understand the inevitability of drawdowns and be prepared mentally and financially for the worst-case scenario.

Step 2-> During any drawdown, it’s important to assess whether the bets you’re placing are still +EV—that is, profitable over the long term. While not a perfect metric, the most reliable way to gauge this is by looking at Closing Line Value (CLV). This means checking how often and by how much, the odds you bet at are better than the closing odds at Pinnacle. If most of your bets are still consistently beating the closing line, that’s a strong sign you’re on the right track. In that case, you should keep placing those bets as usual and simply wait for the laws of probabilities to eventually work in your favor.

TLDR-> Make sure you are still betting with an edge.

Step 3-> It probably goes without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway. We are using a bankroll and precise stakes for a reason and that is to absorb any drawdowns without going bankrupt. So, if you are not using one by now, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Finally, when the next losing streak comes, don’t try to use “creative” strategies like doubling your stakes to gain back losses faster. Sure, it might work once or twice, but it will eventually backfire. So, stick to the plan, and don’t overcomplicate things or try to fix what isn’t broken.

TLDR-> Always have an appropriate bankroll and follow the staking plan religiously.

Follow these steps and you won’t fail when the next drawdown hits.

Finally, to drive the point home, please read this short article.

https://bettingiscool.com/2017/11/09/the-single-biggest-mistake-punters-make-by-russell-clarke/

Now, regarding next season, we will have an early start, as EuroBasket 2025 (27 Aug. – 14 Sept.) takes place in late August. This means that subscriptions for the 2025–26 season will open sometime in early August.

After a strong season, demand for a spot will most likely increase, although the cap will still remain at 50 spots. Naturally, priority will be given to those who have been with me for the past two years, followed by members who joined during the most recent season. I believe this is only fair.

That’s all for now. Enjoy your summer, and I’ll see you in August!

Best regards,

Demetrio Giotti

 

Looking Ahead to 2025–26

This is a no-nonsense service with proven results — and it’s limited to just 50 members per season. With EuroBasket 2025 starting in August, demand is already building.

A Deep Dive Into How To Examine A Tipster – Real World Example On This Flawed Service

Posted on by Josh P

The ​August SBC Magazine​ featured two major tipster reviews of services which could not be more different.

The first review was a look at the very impressive NFL service that ticked a lot of boxes. ​You can read more about that here​.

The second review presented a very different challenge as on the face of it, this looked to be a promising racing service, yet it was only when we ran our detailed analysis that several flaws were revealed.

In today’s post I want to talk a little bit about them, the review process and how you need to be careful judging based on initial appearances and let the data speak for itself.

To benefit from our incisive tipster reviews, betting expertise and real world knowledge on how to win betting – ​join my team and I at the Smart Betting Club today.​

Independent review stance

This racing tipster review was a few years in the making and it’s worth a little insight first of all into the process behind it all.

Initially the tipster was in touch in late 2021 asking if we would promote them for a fee.

Unaware of ​our independent stance​, we gave them a firm NO (they actually asked this a few times over the past few years and always got the same answer) but encouraged them to proof if they would like to be independently reviewed in the future, which they started in 2021.

Moving forward to late 2023 and at that point the service had advised 2,000 bets and had made a circa 8.5% ROI so we kickstarted the review process, which included:

  • Looking at the record and how data is captured
  • Extensive proofing of bets to gauge things like odds availability, price sensitivity and the reliance on certain bookmakers
  • Watching the bets arriving ‘live’ to see how things operated in real time
  • Checking our proofing results against any records kept on site
  • Examining against Betfair SP to judge market advantage

All Is Not As It Seems

There is a sizeable portion of the tipster market, especially on social media, who are out and out con men. Faked records, deleted losers, closing down and opening again under a new name – there is a list of dodgy strategies that are worthy of a book.

What we have in this review is none of those things. The record ‘on site’ is accurate and the bets that are sent out to members are reflected in the publicly accessible spreadsheet.

So, why do we not rate this service? This table provides the first clue as more than half the bets advised had worse prices come 9.30am:

This is because a sizeable portion of bets by this tipster are advised the night before racing into very weak betting markets and in the current climate, this just isn’t practical to follow or to quote as ‘fair’ odds.

By the time the odds on 11am of the day of racing arrived, these bets actually showed a loss, so any edge was reliant on ‘ricks’ or stand out prices from the evening before.

Whatever the sport, betting into weak markets is not a sustainable approach that paid customers can realistically use long-term. Be it NFL, racing, football, golf or any other you choose to bet on.

Soft bookmakers will quickly kick you out if constantly beating them in weak markets and often there is not enough liquidity to bet on them on betting exchanges and/or sharp bookmakers.

Another issue was the use of concessions. Many bets were advised with extra places that were only available with one or two bookmakers (e.g. SkyBet). These bets may well be profitable on paper but how many of them will you get on before your account disappears? How scalable are they?

Thirdly, Best Odds Guaranteed (Also known as BOG – a very specific horse racing betting boost) was also used in the service’s record keeping for bets advised on the day. Whilst this may be attainable for some followers (if they are long-term losers who don’t beat prices), not all accounts have this available to them.

Finally, the service also made changes to the markets they targeted in early 2024 and that, alongside a sizeable loss so far this year, has reduced the ROI to just 6.06%.

That 6.06% ROI requires the customer to:

  • Place bets immediately. There was a 5.79% ROI reduction on overnight bets come 11am.
  • Require extra place concessions only available with specific bookies. If you didn’t have them, you would not match the results. Shave perhaps 2-3% ROI off that 6.06% ROI for this alone.
  • Need the extra edge from the Best Odds Guaranteed concession. Again most accounts that win have that removed at the same time as staking limits. Another shaving of perhaps 2-3% ROI on that 6.06% ROI

Ultimately it left us with no confidence that there was any edge for this tipster as it was reliant on 1) weak markets 2) extra boosts and concessions and 3) the need for very specific bookmakers.

Betfair SP Quirk

For every horse racing tipster we also look at Betfair SP results, which are easy to place on the Betfair Exchange as this can often be an angle with certain tipsters.

Betfair SP is also a great ‘closing line’ comparison tool to work out any tipster’s edge over the market. For this service we were able to match 93% of the advised bets to Betfair SP win and place market odds.

What we found in terms of Betfair SP revealed that despite the average odds being significantly higher (12.61) vs the advised odds (9.763) there was actually a loss being made of circa -0.93% ROI on these bets.

Suggesting that they had no edge over the closing market.

We also can’t recall seeing such a sizeable average odds difference between advised and Betfair SP odds before.

Proper Edges For Sustainable Profits

So whilst we didn’t uncover a profitable racing tipster in this review, what it does outline is our process and reinforces what makes a good service. This helps to empower our members and explain what to look for when they come across a tipster.

This includes many important factors such as attainable odds, bets that aren’t going to destroy your accounts and demonstrable edges that manifest themselves in CLV or long-term profits.

The service in question had none of these things but we have reviewed plenty of services that do.

​Join SBC today​ and you will be able to find out about these services, with our full back catalogue instantly available. In addition, there are many other benefits to membership with us that you can read about ​here​!

Brand New Tipster Review – The NFL Tipster With a Great 5 Season Record +13.39% ROI

Posted on by Peter Ling

Following on from my appearance on the Circles off Podcast about using SBC to bet in North America, here at SBC we have just published a brand new tipster review about an NFL tipster with a significant edge!

It’s available to read now with an SBC membership!​

NFL – GET TO THE END ZONE FOR PROFIT

This particular NFL Tipster Review is one that has been 5 years in the making.

The reason for this elongated time period is that this service only averages around 60-70 bets a season, due to the fact the NFL season isn’t the biggest and it only bets when it finds real value (naturally!).

Now that we have enough data to work with, here is what we’ve found:

  • Return On Investment (ROI) stands at 13.39% from just under 300 bets
  • Targeting major markets only – Spreads and Totals, which have huge volume traded on them and are very easy to get on
  • Advising bets on a Thursday or Friday when markets are resilient (not simply scraping early value as we see so many do)
  • 52.5% of bets have beaten the closing line, with a further 26.5% going off at the same price. Only 21.2% of bets have a worse closing line – this is important as it suggests they are ‘beating the market’.
  • Bets are profitable with various outlets, including soft bookmakers, sharp bookmakers and exchanges
  • Up to a £50 discount on the service for SBC members.

The Practicalities Of Betting in these markets

What is especially smart about this service is how easy it is to get on at value prices .

Both myself and SBC’s Rowan Day have used it extensively over the last two to three years and we have found ourselves beating the prices on a consistent basis by using exchanges and sharp bookmakers.

Liquidity is deep and market coverage is comprehensive for these markets, so if you struggle to get bets down or want to boost the ROI further, they are great ways to make some profits.

Best of all its affordably priced at just £275 for a full season and £225 for SBC members courtesy of an exclusive discount we have negotiated.

SBC Membership provides some excellent benefits and this service alone encapsulates many of them. As a member, you get:

  • A deep-dive into everything you need to know to decide whether this service is for you, including P & L tables, CLV analysis, Monte Carlo simulations and all of our other advanced analytics

🎾My Personal Journey Using This Recommended Tennis Service🎾

Posted on by Peter Ling

Long-priced golf winners and horses that steam before winning on the bridle are very exciting but when it comes to making profit, slow and steady services are the cornerstone of any profitable betting portfolio.

For me, the SBC recommended Winner Odds encapsulates this as despite having a Return On Investment (ROI) of ‘just’ 5.15%, I have made a colossal £55,122.30 profit using it.

These returns come after over 11,425 bets and the old betting adage this reminded me of was: ‘ROI for show, ROC for dough!’

In the video below (click here to watch), I introduce the service, using the context of our process at SBC to show how and why it has become central to my portfolio. I recorded this back in September 2023, when my profits were only £39,852.26 – since when they have risen by a further 15k in 8 months.

  • The profits I have made
  • The software behind the site & simple results tracking
  • Bookmakers, Exchanges and Sharp Bookmakers
  • Tips and tricks to add extra value to the service’s offering

As I touch on in the video, SBC Membership offers so much value when it comes to services such as this one.

This second video contains:

  • More advanced tips for how to maximise profits using the service
  • Practical advice on bet placement and notification
  • How to find little known (or connected) bookmakers to use
  • How to extend the length of your bookmaker accounts using some expert tips if following this service
  • How to compound profits using multiple bet strategies – both on this sport and others
  • How to stay strong mentally and understand the pros and cons of using

Paid members also get access to:

  • Tipster Reviews where we take a deep dive into performance by every metric, discussing historical records, bookmaker availability, exchange viability and using a service practically (alongside so much more!)
  • Ongoing Performance Analysis in the form of our regular Tipster Profit Reports where we revisit services and monitor their short, medium and long-term performances with rankings, tables and explainers
  • Detailed Practical Support in the form of videos, FAQs, email correspondence and reports from the SBC Team

⚽️ The In-Play Football Tipster With An Edge From Bet365 & the Betfair Exchange ⚽️

Posted on by Josh P

In the latest tipster review from April’s mega betting magazine! (Issue 141) we continued the ‘football focus’ theme with an introduction to the in-play football tipster that boasts an excellent record over nearly 1000 bets.

Easy to follow with both bookmakers and exchanges, our review of this service has proven to be extremely popular indeed with it being the first in-play tipster we have ever recommended to SBC members.

Especially because in-play betting is viewed very favourably by bookmakers – making it a great way to win without attracting quick account restrictions or closures.

Full details on the service in question and all aspects of what they do is only currently available to SBC Members, Subscribe now to explore the detailed review or read on for some key reasons why it should be of interest to you…

The In-Play Edge

This tipster advises bets in the major in-play markets, concentrating on the 1×2, over/under goal-lines and Asian Handicaps. Their edge comes from the use of data and this marries up perfectly with the experience within their team – the service is run by 4 professional punters!

High liquidity leagues make up a large portion of their action and this is beneficial as bookmakers take lots of bets on these games, especially in-play and there are more layers on the exchanges if you want to take bets there.

As speed is of the essence, they use Telegram to advise each bet to members of their service – which is charged at 40 Euros per month.

The Record

To be as fair as possible, this tipster tracks their bets using Bet365 prices but our review in SBC 141, identified how profitable the service is at various outlets, including the Betfair Exchange:

A 5.38% ROI to bookmaker prices and a 10.15% ROI on exchanges are reasons enough to be impressed, but there are other less obvious benefits to following these selections in:

  • Bookmakers like these bets. They are associated with ‘recreational’ play and have large in-built margins.
  • There is no Closing Line Value (CLV), making it hard for bookmakers to track how sharp these bets are (Note – they are very sharp!)
  • Any checks from the risk department or a trader are likely to be viewed more favourably with these bets on your ‘ledger’.

For those limited solely to exchanges, our analysis shows that around 50% of bets are available at value prices (minus 2% commission) in markets with deep liquidity. To add to this, we have tried placing bets in-play on heavily restricted accounts and have been pleasantly surprised by the amounts we can get on!

📰 SBC Magazine Issue #141: A Football Focus For April! ⚽️

Posted on by Peter Ling

After an extremely busy month at SBC, today we are releasing SBC Magazine Issue #141, which has a strong football betting theme in preparation for the Euros!

Despite a high profile podcast with the CEO of the Gambling Commission, Andrew Rhodes, we have still got plenty of our ‘bread and butter’ content prepared and released in April, with two long-term winning football services put under the SBC review microscope!

We provide a snapshot of what’s inside below. If it sounds like it could be for you, then sign-up for membership to get instant access to SBC 141 and our full back catalogue​

Clocking in at 56 pages long, SBC 141 includes:

  • Analysis on Football Trading Club, the pre-match service that finds value in major markets with both bookmakers and exchanges
    ​
  • A further football tipster review for an in-play service that has major benefits for account longevity (alongside profitability, with exchanges again providing a viable outlet for getting on!)
    ​
  • SBC Member Q & As, with practical advice provided by the SBC team
    ​
  • Two SBC Podcasts, with reflection and reaction to accompany our content
