Back in February this year, I asked Smart Betting Club (SBC) members just how many of them actually made money betting.
The results were fascinating with 85.1% of all taking the survey informing us that they made a profit from their betting in 2015.
If I had to put a wish list together of what most people want in a tipster, it’s fair to say it would look a bit like this:
1. Proven record of profit over several years
2. Makes a profit at Betfair SP after 5% commission removed
3. Free or less than £10 a month subscription fee
4. Reliable, consistent and professionally run
How Much Can You Make Betting? was the question we posed earlier this week, following the release of SBC’s latest Tipster Profit Report.
Judging by my inbox, it seems to have piqued plenty of interest with several enquires asking just how much can be made with the tipsters SBC recommends.
Betting made the headlines today with the very welcome news that the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) are opening an investigation into unfair bookmaker practice.
The CMA are inviting those of you with an experience to share on this issue to get in touch with them and the Smart Betting Club is encouraging as many of you as possible to do so!
How Much Can You Make Betting?
That is the question we answer in the our latest Tipster Profit Report publication, which features updated rankings and ratings on 58 top tipsters that we proof and verify the results of each and every day.
Included within this report are our 23 Hall of Fame recommendations – those tipsters we fully recommend based on the long-term, practical and achievable profits they have made from their betting advice.
So if you ever wondered just how much you can make betting – make sure you pick up this special report!
On Sunday the findings from our recent survey on bookmaker account restrictions and closures were the topic of debate on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Featured, as part of the ‘5 Live Investigates’ show, it sought to seek answers as to why bookmakers are refusing to do business with customers who don’t fall into the category of ‘mug-punter’.
So, you may wonder, why are they restricting and closing thousands of accounts?
Let’s looks at some of the most intriguing reasons……
Through our new Better Betting Campaign we have been highlighting some of the unfair practices bookmakers currently employ – including that of restricting and closing your betting accounts.
As part of our Better Betting Campaign we recently interviewed the Chair of the Horseracing Bettors Forum (HBF), Simon Rowlands to find out his organisations take on some of the key issues confronting punters.
Yesterday saw the launch of SBC’s Better Betting Campaign, which is demanding action and raising awareness on 3 key issues impacting many punters.
Today sees the official launch of the Smart Betting Club’s Better Betting Campaign, which is calling for action on 3 major issues many punters currently face:
1. The increased restriction and closure of betting accounts;
2. The widespread use of unauthorised tracking software;
3. The steady increase in bet disputes by bookmakers acting without proper regulation.
