Posted on by Josh P

Will Smith slapping Chris Rock… Ricky Gervais ‘roasting’ Hollywood Royalty… Jarvis Cocker storming Michael Jackson’s performance before he got to Moonwalk.

All of these are ‘award incidents’ that stick in the memory but we think that we have something coming up that will be more memorable than all of them!

Tipsters, writers, bookmakers, experts and websites from across the land have been waiting anxiously for their moment. Well it has arrived as voting is now open for the SBC Awards 2023!

In the latest SBC Podcast I am joined by James, one half of the brains behind the recently reviewed tennis tipping service, Tennis Pilot.

Following my fascinating chat with David Lovell of DragonBet last week, the latest Smart Betting Club Podcast sees another ‘poacher turned gamekeeper’ join me for an interview.

Anthony Kaminskas has done it all. Cashiering in bookmaker shops, trading at the sharp end for Paddy Power and pro-punting with specialisms in multiple sports.

His bookmaking venture, AK Bets, started life in the form of pitches across Irish racecourses and Anthony stood out from the crowd immediately by introducing his own way of doing things.

Now, he has expanded into the online betting market with AKBets.bet and he has big plans to shake that market up too…

Navigating The Tipster World Profitably – What My Betting Has Taught Me (And How It Can Help You)

Posted on by Josh P

What is the point of a tipster? Profit on paper or in the punter’s pocket?
Prices, timing, account restrictions and the realities of betting on tips.
Introduction

I’m Josh, an SBC member and full-time punter. In addition to my own racing betting, I use tipsters to diversify my income alongside doing some work for Pete at the SBC. 

Here, I am trying to write about tipsters from a follower’s perspective. Hopefully, I can provide some insight by referencing my own betting experiences and discussing the tipping industry as I see it. To begin with, I write about things as they are at first glance, with the mechanics of tipping and following being the main point of discussion. The ‘Elephant In The Room’ may make a lot of these observations moot, but it is only fair to take all involved at face value.

SBC Podcast #52 🎧: David Lovell From The Bookmaker DragonBet

Posted on by Josh P

In the latest Smart Betting Club Podcast I am joined by ‘poacher turned gamekeeper’ David Lovell, who is one half of the duo that runs the independent bookmaking firm, DragonBet alongside his brother, James.

Immersed in the betting world from an early age thanks to their bookmaking father, John Lovell, both David and James have recently launched dragonbet.co.uk to go alongside their on-course bookmaking in Wales.

David provides a refreshing vision for what a bookmaker should be as we discuss the mechanics of running a smaller firm and how they differentiate themselves from the faceless corporate books.
