Important update on bookmaker fund security in these uncertain times. 64 firms now rated on how they ‘protect’ your money

Posted on by Peter Ling

These are strange, uncertain times for us all and today I want to provide a very important update to my 4th March article (copied again below) on the lack of safety many bookmakers offer the money you hold with them.

Far too many firms still offer NO protection to the money you deposit and given the fact we are on the precipice of a major financial crisis, it is reasonable to assume that some bookmakers may not survive it.

Therefore, I wanted to update you all today with an important recommendation:

If you hold money with a bookmaker offering you NO protection, then you should consider withdrawing these funds, especially if you are not currently using this money to actively bet.

How safe is the money you deposit with bookmakers? Ratings & guidance on this critical question

Posted on by Peter Ling

Today I have a very important update to share with you on the topic of bookmaker fund security – or indeed the lack of it from many of the firms that we all bet with.

It is an excerpt from an updated article recently published for members of the Smart Betting Club to ensure that none of them suffer the issue of holding large funds in bookmaker accounts that they are unable to access.

Whilst not the ‘sexiest’ of topics – it certainly is an essential one for anyone that bets, so please do take the time to read it and understand more on how safe the funds you deposit with bookmakers actually are…

The tipster blogger ‘Making Punting Pay’ on how he made over 7k in 2019 betting.

Posted on by Peter Ling

Yesterday saw the release of a very special SBC Report from a guest author – the tipster blogger, Making Punting Pay on how he made a £7,346.57 clear profit betting in 2019.

Exclusively available to SBC members only, this report details his journey to profit on a month-by-month basis, including the 6 tipsters he follows, the lessons learnt along the way and his advice to those looking to copy his approach.

Although to access the full 17-page report a Smart Betting Club membership is required (Get instant access), I wanted to share with you all an interview with the man himself to give you some insight into his approach.

9 years following tipsters averaging 12k a year profit. One SBC members’ real life betting journey

Posted on by

For those of you after some inspiration on how to make a profit betting, today I want to share my recent chat with one very long running SBC member on exactly how he continues to make his betting with tipsters a real success.

Step forward Jim – a Smart Betting Club member since 2012 no less and with whom I spoke to earlier this week to get the lowdown on his latest betting experiences and results figures.

To set the scene – back in 2016, I first interviewed Jim on his betting results and how he won £20,000 in 2015, the first year that he took it all seriously.

Now 4 years later, Jim was good enough to agree to answer a few of my questions on his performance since then (during which time he has been an SBC member naturally!) including how he now averages around £12,000 profit per year…

To help showcase how the Smart Betting Club can help you, today I have a free sample review to share about the in-form Wizard of Big Odds racing tipster service.

The Wizard of Big Odds service is attracting a LOT of interest at the moment, based on the fact they are bang in form and have now made 469.9 points profit @ 37.5% ROI from 1160 bets.

At just £5 stakes, that is a profit of £2,349.90 in a little over 19 months. Quite a record thus far and in this review you can read our detailed take on the service they offer.

Part 2: Odds Availability & How It Impacts Your Real-World Betting Profits

Posted on by

Last week in part 1 of my article on why odds availability is so important when judging a tipster, I discussed the help that odds tracking can bring when figuring out how much real world profit you can actually make.

Today, I want to take this a step further and showcase some of the easy comparison tables that put these odds tracking studies into the context of £££’s!

The most important, yet overlooked fact when judging a tipster (part 1)

Posted on by

After 14 years working at the coalface of monitoring, tracking and reviewing tipsters, I like to think I have learnt a thing or two about what exactly a genuine, winning tipping service looks like.

Firstly, it needs to be profitable and showcase a winning record going back a decent amount of time. That is a given.

On top of that it needs to be well run, have a solid consistent strategy, send bets at reasonable times, use a workable staking plan and of course to be affordable after any subscription fees are deducted.

Yet, one vitally important point that many people overlook – including all other ‘review’ websites (at least as far as I can tell) is the question of odds availability.

Allow me to explain more in part 1 of this new series…
