3 Top Tipsters Consistently Beating The Bookies

Last week saw the release of the very latest Smart Betting Club Tipster Profit Report – containing everything you could ever possibly need to know to consistently take money off the bookmakers.

This report contains the finer details on the 55 best performing tipsters that we have uncovered in the eight and a bit years we have been monitoring the tipping industry.

Each of the 55 tipsters are proven to have an edge over the bookies over several years. Including the likes of the free racing tipster with a tipping record in excess of 40% since 2013 (more about him shortly…)

Via the report you can read our analysis on each service, view our tipster league tables, independent ratings and rankings plus much more besides

To give you an idea on how valuable this latest report is – here are a few highlights from what you can find this month….

1) The Free Racing Tipster Up 40% ROI in 2014

It’s always pleasing to see a tipster with an outstanding track record at the big race meetings and this expert certainly does that!  He has been churning out tremendous profits recently, with winners at 25/1, 25/1 and 18/1 in the last few weeks alone.

In fact, since the start of the year, this FREE racing specialist is running at a stunning 40% return on investment! And this is no one off…2013 rewarded followers with an overall 47% return on investment.

We think this guy is better than Pricewise and what’s more a heck of a lot easier to follow and of course totally free.

2) The One-A-Day Double Your Bank Horse Racing Specialist

In each Tipster Profit Report we put great emphasis on those tipsters who have the ability to grow your betting bank on a regular and consistent basis. Which is why this particular racing expert we track ranks so high in our tipster tables, despite providing just one tip a day.

Members of this service have literally doubled their initial starting bank from the start of the year, as they benefit from a regular supply of winners at good odds.

What’s more this service is flying at present, producing a return on investment for followers of 73% over the past two months. Yet it’s not just short term bursts we’re interested in at the SBC.  This service has quadrupled its bank since proofing to us, over four years and 1,781 bets. And yep all from placing just 1 simple bet a day – It’s almost too easy!

3) The Rugby and Racing Expert with 170% Growth Through 2014

Riding high in all of our league tables – including in the “Best All Time Sports Betting” category, is this proven rugby and racing service that provides strong profit with incredible consistency.

A bank of just £1,000 invested on 1st January 2014 would now be worth an amazing £2,700 as at the end of September 2014. £1,700 profit in just 9 months is not to be sniffed at.

This is no flash in the pan either as that same £1,000 bank invested in January 2012 would have grown into £6,369, so you can see the massive boost this service can give to your betting profits.

The SBC forum tipster up £604 profit at just £2.50 stakes

.
One of the lesser-known perks of being a Smart Betting Club member is the access this grants you to our exclusive betting forum, where a number of top tipsters continue to post up their best tips each day.

One tipster in-particular, Sandy, continues to impress and since I last blogged about him back in September, he has made another 55.74 pts profit from his most recent 68 bets (the majority of bets are at 1pt stakes).

In fact, since this racing expert starting putting his ‘All Weather Bets’ up on the SBC Forum in January, he has racked up a 241.64 pts profit at a whopping 50% ROI. Check out his vital stats…

All Weather Bets_3

If you followed each and every bet in – at £2.50 stakes alone you would be over £600 in profit…and if upping this to £15 per point – it works out at way over £3,600 profit in just over 10 months.

These are outstanding figures whichever way you look at it – and best of all, you can follow these tips in each day for the next few months as an SBC member. Here’s how…

All Weather Bets_4

How You Can Follow This Tipster

If Sandy’s All Weather Tips interest you then you can follow his tips each day by logging onto our members-only Smart Betting Club Forum (access to which is granted with either a Silver or Gold subscription).

Not only this but Sandy has also agreed to post his tips up for free on the SBC forum until at least January 2015, so if joining today you will get just under 3 months access to his expertise.

As a further added benefit, as an SBC Silver or Gold member you can also sign-up to receive these tips via email as well as finding them on the Forum.

Hopefully a nice little added bonus to your time with us – and a great way to get started on your path to making more money betting!

Have You Fallen Into This Tipster ‘Advised Odds’ Trap?

.
So you’ve decided to take the plunge.  That advert you saw for the ‘Inside Job’ racing tipster service in one of the racing papers or magazines, with its boasts of big-priced winners and a seriously sexy monthly income which is practically guaranteed….

Well, it’s drawn you in and you’ve signed up.  You’ve sent over a fair wad of cash for a subscription to the tipster and you now wait, expectantly, for the first email containing their hot tips to hit your inbox.

Its nailed on you will make money with these tips…isn’t it?

You’re full of anticipation and excitement.  Perhaps you’ve never followed a ‘professional’ tipster before, yet you’ve long hoped to put your betting on a more serious footing. No more just the couple of fivers you usually stick on a pair of outsiders in the big Saturday handicap or the six team accumulator you whack on the footie.

This is the first step of what will be an exciting journey in taking money off the bookies.  After all, that tipster service you’ve signed up to – it must be expensive for a reason, and you’ve noticed their big adverts for what must be years now in the papers. It must all be genuine, mustn’t it?

When The Odds Are Odd…

The first email comes through.  20/1 shot in the 3.30!  You quickly log in to your Ladbrokes account, find the race, find the horse, and….12/1!  12/1…that can’t be right? It’s very strange as the tipster said it was 20/1, although this admittedly was with a different bookie.

So you open up an odds comparison site to check the best odds from all the bookies you know – only to find the best price overall is now 12/1. The 20/1 was with Boylesports for what seems just 2 minutes! Oh, well.  12/1 is 12/1, so you strike the bet.  It loses.

As does the next one which was tipped at 8s but you could only get on at 5s, and the next, and the next, and so on.  After a week you do bag a winner finally but you only get 10/1, whilst the tipster is claiming 18/1. Surely that isn’t right as you were as quick as you could be to get your bet down.

After three months, you’ve had a couple of winners, but at odds much shorter than those being shouted out so loudly in the adverts that you still see every week. Instead of the huge profit those ads are claiming, you’re actually running at a loss.  How disheartening.

Does this sound familiar? Sadly for many punters it does, but it needn’t be so…

Book In For A Tipster MOT!

So what can you do about it?  Is this the end of the dream?

Well, what if I said to you that it needn’t be, and in fact all that you’re missing is some proper analysis and research that you can trust and rely upon?

After all, if you buy a second hand car, wouldn’t you get somebody who knows what they’re talking about to give it the once over?  Might you not get the AA or a qualified mechanic to look under the bonnet?  Wouldn’t you test drive it first, before handing over your cash?

That’s exactly what we at the SBC do for the tipping industry.  We look under the bonnet of each tipster we review.  We test drive those services for you so that we can point you towards the most profitable and reliable.

After all, as you might have found with many tipsters and the service you signed up for, it’s very easy to make expensive mistakes.

The tipping world is a minefield populated by a lot of scammers and rip-off merchants.  BUT, there are some golden nuggets amongst the dross.  Good, honest, and talented tipsters who provide excellent levels of customer service and who have a PROVEN, long term track record of making a profit.

Specialist Odds Checking…

Finding these pieces of gold though, is only half the battle.  And as many find out – if you can’t get anywhere near the prices the service tips at, you’re not going to make money in the long run.

This is why for each SBC tipster review, we hire a specialist odds checker, who tracks and records the odds of the service’s bets to see just how realistically achievable they are.

Here is an example from a review published in the very latest SBC Magazine which was released earlier this week…

EXCERPT FROM TIPSTER REVIEW. SBC 89 – SEPTEMBER 2014

Odds Availability: Our trusted odds checker Michael was tasked with tracking the odds of the selections to see just how achievable the advised prices are.  From his research conducted between 16th July 2014 and 30th August, we found that if able to bet as soon as the selections are sent, then the likelihood is that the subscriber need factor in only a small reduction in profitability from that attained at advised prices (1-2%).  However, if betting later in the morning, then a significant reduction in profitability is inevitable as prices are seen to drop by an average of 6-8%.

WW180914

WW180914_2

To get close to the officially recorded results, you need to be able to strike your bets pretty sharpish once the email has hit your inbox.  The positive inference from this though, is that the tipster is consistently identifying strong levels of value in the markets.

How To Find The Good Tipsters…

The above is only a small excerpt from our detailed review of this particular service, but hopefully it goes to show how our analysis can help you genuinely find those tipsters who’s advised odds can be trusted.

If you wanted to follow this tipster – you have all the info at your fingertips to decide if it is for you – that is if you are in a position to get this service’s bets on quickly. If you can, this tipster has produced an ROI 22%+ over 919 bets – all of which were proofed to us here at the SBC (They also offer an exclusive 20% discount to SBC members only)

Mind you, we’re hard people to please, because we’ve assigned a ‘Watch’ rating to this service until we can see more results that will justify a full recommendation. Yes, its good and shows oodles of potential but we only upgrade a tipster service into our Hall of Fame when we are truly satisfied they meet our strict criteria. As yet with this tipster we have yet to be fully convinced.

We don’t just analyse odds movements in our reviews either.  We break down other factors such as yearly performance, monthly performance, performance by odds band, performance by racing code, and performance to Betfair Starting Price.  Like I say, we really do look under the bonnet.

By subscribing, you will get all this information on three or more services in each of our regular SBC magazines, plus our must-read Tipster Profit Reports that help to track the ongoing performance of the very best services.

The Secret Tipster With A 46% ROI & Why I’m To Blame!

.
It’s fair to say that one of the best performing tipsters so far this year is actually probably one of the least well known…and it’s all my fault as to why.

With a set of (proofed) stats revealing a 185.9 pt profit from 351 bets and a Return on Investment of 46% in 2014, you would think people would be falling over themselves to find out more on this tipster.

Yet the vast majority of you reading this won’t know anything about them, who they are or how you can get hold of their tips.

And yep I’m to blame.

It’s because this tipster is only available via the Smart Betting Club Forum (where they have been posting their tips up for free for our members to follow) and I have failed to do my job in raising awareness of their outstanding form and how you can get hold of their tips.

In my defence, I have been preoccupied running the Smart Betting Club itself, but the reality is I should have been made you aware a few months back!

Back presumably in August when they bagged over 80 pts profit in the space of a week with a string of big winners. Before then they were already sitting on a pretty profit with a 33% ROI, yet these figures went through the roof soon after.

The Tipster In Question!

To give a bit more background, the Smart Betting Club Forum is available only to our Silver or Gold subscribers – and is a place designed for our members to discuss anything and everything to do with making money betting.

A few years ago, we also extended the forum’s remit to allow tipsters to also proof their tips there for free (enabling all SBC members to effectively live proof them), which is where the awesome tipster I introduced to you above comes in.

They started a forum thread called ‘All Weather General Bets’ back in January 2014 and they have posted their tips regularly since then…for you guessed it – backing on the All Weather!

Their record has been outstanding as I mentioned above – below you can find the key stats.

All Weather Bets
So good has it been that even if following at a simple £2.50 per point, you would have made £465 – between 5 to 6 times more than the cost of a Smart Betting Club subscription itself!

All Weather Bets 2

How You Can Follow Their Tips Free

With over 350 bets under their belt already, it is clear this tipster has a real edge and I am keen for as many of you as possible to sample their advice. It’s my way of apologising for not making you aware of their amazing form earlier…

So much so, I have agreed with them that they will continue to post ALL their bets on the members-only Smart Betting Club Forum until at least January 2015.

So if you sign-up today for either a Silver or Gold subscription, you will get at least 3 1/2 months access to their tips as part of your SBC membership.

Hopefully a nice little added bonus to your time with us – and a great way to get started on your path to making more money betting!

Have you been caught out by these dodgy tipsters dealings?

.
Inspired by some dodgy dealings I uncovered this week (more about shortly) today I have put together a list of some of the most common dodgy tipster ‘scams’ to watch out for.

Varying from the outright scandalous to the somewhat dubious, it’s a quick rundown of what you as a punter need to be aware of before you join any tipster service.

My thanks must also go to those of you who contributed to this list via our Twitter & Facebook accounts with your own suggestions.

Dodgy Tipster #1 – Selling Other Peoples Tips As Your Own

The ‘inspiration’ for today’s article comes in the form of the very dodgy tipster discovered this week, who is selling off the exact same tips from another genuine expert as their own.

The dodgy tipster (let’s call him Malky Mackay) had seemingly signed up for the genuine experts tips (henceforth known as Vincent Tan), liked what he saw and decided to flog these tips under his own steam.

Malky sent out a suspicious looking email advertising his new site, a member asked us to check it out and so we duly did. Lo and behold, what did we spot? Identical tips as to those we at SBC have received from Vincent Tan for nigh on 12 months!

Now we know Vincent Tan is genuine as we have been performing due diligence on his website, investigating his results and working closely with him in advance of a full SBC review in the near future.

At the moment I can’t reveal too much as its being investigated but it highlights the care you have to take when you get an email out of the blue promising the earth. It might look great but in this instance – there is a very good chance that Malky’s ‘tipping service’ won’t be around too long…
468x60_banner

Dodgy Tipster #2 – Social Media Tipsters

As Leon on the SBC Facebook page pointed out, tipsters that only use Social Media for their tips can also be a breeding ground for scams. As he commented “Most Facebook pages/Tipsters have a dozen pages and none keep records of the losers or have a staking system”

He is spot on that we need to be careful here as its all too easy to set up a new Facebook page or Twitter account, put up a bunch of tips and if they win – great, if they lose, just delete it.

This happens regularly especially with bets like accas, which are hugely popular on Social Media. All you need do is simply create 10 accounts on Twitter or Facebook, put up a slightly different version of an acca on each one and boom, one of them will probably come good each weekend.

It’s one reason we only proof or review tipsters who actually have a genuine website (not just a Social Media account) and who have at least 12 months of results to work with.

Dodgy Tipster #3 – Claiming to have ‘Inside Information’

It’s the oldest trick in the book – claim to have ‘inside information’ about tips guaranteed to win and ask for people to stump up the cash in the hope of getting in on the action.

The sad reality is that even if there is an element of people who do get inside info on certain horses to win a race – they are never going to share it with a stranger, no matter how convincing they sound or how much they charge.

In all the years working at SBC, we have discovered not one genuine ‘inside info’ based tipster worth bothering with. They almost exclusively are all-mouth-no-trousers types with one goal – to fleece you of cash.

It’s perhaps best summed up by Davy on Twitter who said in response to my question as to your tipster pet peeves… ” as an ex tipster myself, it’d be the bare faced lies. Saying we were walking the track or quoting our stable insider. All rubbish.” Quite!

Dodgy Tipster #4 – Putting Up Nonsense Prices With Nonsense Bookies

Sliding down the scale of dubious practices are the tipsters who continuously quote odds with bookies that no-one will realistically match.

Even the likes of Pricewise are at it – supplying tips this week quoting stand-out prices with bookies such as Boylesports (rated the worst of all racing bookies by our members last year) and Betway (rated as poorly as 83rd out of 100 top bookies).

Even at the best of times, punters stand little or no chance getting on with Pricewise and its especially the case when using these woeful bookies. Why not simply quote a generally available price? To be fair, its not just Pricewise that indulge in this practice, I see many other tipsters doing it, yet it gets a big black mark from us.

Compare that with some of the top-rated tipsters we monitor here at SBC – some of them will only quote a price if its available with 3 decent bookies or even settle their tip at the best odds available 5 to 10 minutes after they give it out. Best of all, the likes of Boylesports (or Spoilsports as widely known) are nowhere to be seen.

Dodgy Tipster #5 – Advising Silly Stakes & Results Out Of Context

Jonny on Twitter piped up yesterday to say his biggest tipster bugbear were those who quote profits to silly stakes such as 50 or 100 points, simply to make their profits look big. And he is right – its a big problem.

It might make a great headline to say…”We made 1000 pts profit last month” but if you had to risk 100,000 points to make that – well its nothing to shout about at all.

Tipsters that constantly claim results out of context wind us right up because it is so misleading and very often its a sign they are to avoided at all costs.

As a minimum you should expect to see full results stats including number of bets, amount staked, total profit and key calculations such as return on investment and return on capital.

That’s The Bad, How About The Good…

Hopefully the above will give you a good steer on avoiding some dodgy tipster practices and how to avoid getting ripped off.

If however, you are looking for actually bonafide, genuine tipsters then here at SBC we can help you. We work full-time on not only reviewing the best new tipsters, but also tracking the ones that continue to make money betting for SBC members.

And with the release of our very latest Tipster Profit Report, which features our updated ‘Hall of Fame’ ratings on the 20+ highly recommended tipsters we really rate, it’s a great time to get started.

5-Point Guide To Finding Good Tipsters (& Avoiding The Bad Ones!)

 

Earlier this week I made the mistake of picking up a copy of a national racing magazine which I hadn’t read for a while, mainly due to the fact it hasn’t stocked by my local newsagent for some time.

Alongside its various articles on horse racing, I was shocked to find a whole host of very dubious looking adverts for tipsters and systems – all promising to make the reader life-changing profits.

If you wanted to find the world’s best betting system or call a premium phone-line for ‘insider tips’ you would be in clover, yet there was a distinct lack of anything substantial to back up their claims.

There was no evidence that their claimed profits could be backed up or any key stats to help put their results in context. In short, most of them had the distinct whiff of BS we have long campaigned to have eradicated from the tipster industry.

With this fresh in my mind, I thought it would be wise to pen my very own advice on how to find a genuinely professional and worthwhile tipster service.

I have left off some of the most obvious points (that they make a profit!) but here are my 5 key tips to help sift the wheat from the tipster chaff…

1) Make sure they proof to an independent verifier

It might sound obvious but in this day and age, you simply can’t just take a tipsters claims of profit at face value. Thus, the first port of call for any genuine tipster is to have their results verified by a genuinely independent third party service.

The key word here is independence as if the proofing service is using affiliate links (where they earn a cut if you join a tipster via their site), then they clearly have a vested financial interest in you joining. How independent can a proofer be if they earn money should you join the sites they verify?

Needless to say, if you come across a tipster not willing to proof somewhere genuine, it’s simple…walk away as there are plenty who do worth your time.

2) Do they list their results for all to see?

Any tipster worth his or her salt must also keep an accurate and easy to understand record of their full past performance for you to access.

This should include all bets – both winners and losers (don’t fall for the ploy of some tipsters who just list their winners) and include key performance stats on things like number of bets, total staked, profit/loss and Return on Investment/Return on Capital (read more here on why this latter figure is so important)

3) Are they more than just a flash in the pan?

The average age for a SBC Hall of Fame tipster service is well over 3 years and with good reason, as the best services stick around and last the test of time.

Don’t fall for the flash-in-the-pan tipster that hits a good (and usually lucky) run of form as often they can’t maintain this and fall by the wayside.

The best tipsters are often the longest-running, so if you find one with a good record but just a few months trading, keep a watching brief only. If they do turn out to be genuinely good, you can always join further down the line.

4) Do they respond to your emails and operate a professional service?

Any tipster charging a fee for their tips should offer a certain level of professionalism, be it sending their tips on-time or replying to emails in a courteous manner.

You can often gauge so much about a tipster by their customer service and how they respond to your questions.

Thus you should never be afraid to send a quick email before considering joining any tipster. If they are not friendly and helpful in their reply to you as a possible future customer, how might they treat you once you join and they have your money?

5) Are they consistent in their approach to tipping?

Finally, be careful if coming across any tipster that constantly chops and changes its approach to tipping. This might mean stopping and starting their service or making some major changes to the way they work – especially after a bad run.

When this happens it often screams out that they don’t really know where their edge lies…and if a tipster doesn’t know how to make a profit – well then they really shouldn’t be advising tips.

There is nothing more re-assuring than a tipster who runs a consistent, solid service with only the occasional minor and well-explained tweaks to their approach.

Be Careful Out There!

It’s fair to say that despite our best efforts at SBC, there are still plenty of very bad tipsters out there keen to take your cash off you. Hopefully the simple checklist above help you avoid the vast majority, but still you need to be very cautious and cynical until proven otherwise.

It comes to something when some of these poor tipsters are allowed to advertise unchecked in popular racing publications, but that unfortunately is the betting industry for you.

There are far too many people out there representing their own interests, be it as a dubious tipster looking for easy cash or betting publications that rely on their adverts to fund their output.

In contrast, the interests we represent here at SBC are yours – the everyday punter looking to make money betting. We are able to do this due to our independence, which allows us to say it as it really is and point you in the direction of who and what really makes money betting.

We carry no such adverts, instead we are fully funded by our members. Why not read more on how we can help your betting and benefit from our risk-free money back guarantee at the same time?

Don’t fall for these tipster lies, damn lies and statistics!

Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics” …So goes the well-known phrase made popular by Mark Twain on how people and often politicians use numbers to push forward weak arguments.

It’s not just politicians who like to bend the truth with numbers, but also tipsters too, with some of the worst culprits using seemingly impressive sounding figures to distort the truth their own way.

Here are just a few claims I received in my spam email account this week from various tipsters….

  • “102 points profit so far made in July”
  • “£2551 Profit in just 4 days”
  • “Earn £800 a week tax-free per week”

The problem with each of these claims is that they only discuss profit without any context, rendering them completely useless.

Yes you might have made 102 points profit in July, but how did the 12 months prior to that perform? It’s not much use if the first 6 months of the year lost 200 points is it?

Even if the service in question has a long-term profitable record (unlikely as its spam!) then how much money did they risk to make those 102 points profit?

After all, you wouldn’t want to be risking £200,000 to make that £800 a week would you? The tipster equivalent of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

Why Betting Bank Growth Is So Key

So how exactly can you weigh up how valuable a tipster really is?

Well, one of the best methods we advocate is working out its Return on Capital (ROC) or Betting Bank Growth.

This is a very effective calculation as it tells you how much your initial money will grow over a period of time.

Simply quoting 102 points profit means nothing, but 102% ROC – well that would indicate you have more than doubled your betting bank!

Here are a few examples to explain further…

Tipster A makes 50% ROC in a 6 month period
– If following their tips with £2000 at the very start, you would now have a £1000 profit

Tipster B makes a 150% ROC over the course of a football season
– If following their tips with £5000 at the very start, you would now have a £7500 profit

Tipster C makes a 300% ROC over a 2 year period
– If following their tips with £1000 at the very start, you would now have a £3000 profit

SBC_banner_EmailBanner

ROC AND ROLL!

For my money, working out the ROC or Return on Capital for any tipster often supersedes many other calculations, including the oft-quoted Return on Investment (ROI)

ROI works out how much you have to stake to make your profit and whilst important, it is often overshadowed by ROC.

For a classic example of why this is the case, it’s worth looking at the stats from 1 of the 4 top football services we reviewed in the latest SBC Magazine. Below you can see their full stats from all the bets they tipped during the 2013/14 football season..

Now at first glance, this might not seem too impressive, with only a 5.1% ROI and 86.9 pts profit from 1692 bets. Nothing to see there, move along…

Yet, you would be wrong to ignore them and you will see why when I add in the ROC figures below:

Due to the relatively high strike-rate and our suggested bank size, the ROC calculation comes in at 108.6% for the entire season – more than doubling your money if following.

I don’t know about you but if I could guarantee my betting bank would double every season, I would snap your hands off!

One Size Does Not Fit All

Despite all the above, you do need to be very careful when it comes to working out your betting bank sizes as some tipsters do not have a clue on what to advise!

I have seen a number of examples where a tipster has claimed huge ROC, yet clearly have far too small a betting bank suggestion. So small, that if following you would go bust long before any profit is made.

All of this is why, here at SBC we set our own betting bank sizes for EVERY tipster we review, using a special simulator we developed to help calculate the optimum suggestion.

This simulator runs all the stats for every tipster thousands of times to arrive at a suggested betting bank figure for each one.

Some tipsters don’t like this as we sometimes have to recommend different betting bank sizes to their own, which in turn might make their profit figures look worse.

Their ire matters little to us though as the key as ever is to produce fair, accurate betting bank suggestions for our members that offers them the best chance for sustainable profits.

How to increase your betting ROI with this top tipster

After a couple of weeks banging the drum for our bookie fairplay campaign in these columns, I am getting back to basics today with a focus on betting trends – including how one simple set of analysis helped boost the ROI punters can enjoy on one top tipster to as much as 15.4%!

First of all though, a little education on what to watch out for when it comes to trends and avoiding being sucked in by something called the ‘Gamblers Fallacy’.

To briefly explain using the coin toss analogy (a cliché I know but it’s easy to understand!) If I were to toss a coin 10 times and each time it were to come up heads, many people would automatically think the 11th time MUST be tails.

The gambling fallacy often catches punters out during both winning or losing runs, when they mistakenly link totally unconnected recent form with future results. You might start to think you are ‘due a winner’ and up stakes accordingly or even give up entirely during a particularly bad run. Continue reading
