Here at the Smart Betting Club, our primary role is to help YOU find the best profit making tipsters around.

As part of that quest, we proof hundreds of tipster services every week, who are each hoping to make the grade and prove to us that they are worthy of a recommendation.

I am sure it will come as no surprise that for every GOOD tipster, there are a hundred others YOU need to avoid. I’m not just talking about scams (such as the tipster who is lifting free tips and selling them on as his own – more about him soon hopefully), but tipsters that are often profitable…based purely on luck and not skill.

We see it all too often – a tipster that enjoys blistering form for the first 6 or 12 months and looks outstanding, only for results to then tail off and for them to disappear into the sunset.

If you start following them at the wrong time or indeed too soon, then you can easily be caught out (with a hefty dent in your wallet).

We know that finding good tipsters that can genuinely make you money betting can be difficult and at times, a bit like trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Which is why in the latest SBC magazine we unveiled the winners of our 2013 Tipster & Betting Awards, to try and reveal to you the tipsters who win regularly. As voted for by the people who use them day in, day out – SBC members, thus ensuring that those scooping the best awards are bonafide money making tipsters.

To find the winners for the awards, we asked each SBC member to vote for their top tipsters of the past year in 5 different categories:

• Best Sports Betting Tipster (i.e. anyone not a horse racing tipster)
• Best Horse Racing Tipster
• Best Football Only Tipster
• Best Tipster Newcomer
• Best Overall Tipster (The biggie!)

The top 3 tipsters in each category won Gold, Silver & Bronze, and the full results rundown can be found in our very latest SBC magazine. Many of those that scooped a prize have already started to display their award rosettes with pride!

As part of our 2013 Tipster & Betting Awards, we also wanted to find out the other services our members rated as the most useful, so there are awards in other categories such as Best Betting Website and Best Bookmaker.

We also asked each member happy to answer anonymously, just how much money they had made betting in 2012, to get a range on the profits and loss being made, which also makes for fascinating reading.

The full details of our 2013 Tipster & Betting Awards can now be found in our latest SBC magazine (Issue 79), which was released earlier this week. You can gain instant access to this by signing up as an SBC member right away.

If like many of us, you have a busy life – then when it comes to betting, many of you will simply want to know exactly who the best tipsters to bet with actually are.

Which tipsters for example…

• Make the largest profit?
• Make the largest betting bank return?
• Offer the lowest workload to follow?
• Are easy to get advised odds with?
• Offer the best option on a budget?

If the above information applies to you, then the latest edition of our new-look Tipster Profit Report will appeal to you as it contains all this information and more. Let us show you how…

Betting Tipsters Best Buy Tables

Throughout each Tipster Profit Report we publish our ‘Best Buy tables’, where we list the top performing Tipsters to a number of different measures.

For example our Best 25 Tipsters table below, lists the top performing tipsters based upon their annualised profit if working to a £2000 betting bank. We have blanked out the names as this is for full members only, but as you can see – the top tipsters are making a huge return.

It’s the age old question that many often ask when it comes to the sometimes thorny issue of using tipsters.

Can tipsters actually be trusted, especially with your hard-earned cash?

Some like to rule them out without hesitation in the belief that they are all scam artists, the likes of whom might sell their granny just to make a few bob.

In many instances, the issue of trust (or a lack of) is justified as tipsters over the years have built up a poor reputation. The problem dates back to the dinosaur age of the phone-line tipster who will tell you they have a big priced ‘cert’ racing in the 3.30 at Newbury…. Only for said ‘cert’ to be odds-on and come absolutely nowhere.

Sadly this practice still goes on and just this week on our private members forum there have been a number of very dodgy looking tipsters discussed (and subsequently dismissed!).

• One such service performed the old trick of promising a 20/1 ‘touch’ before advising a horse that opened at 5/4 in a 5 runner race.
• Whilst another promised ‘one big winner or your money back’ – as long as you stumped up £100 upfront of course.
