Three Top Tipsters Available For FREE As A Perk Of SBC Membership

Posted on by Josh P

Did you know you can follow a group of profitable tipsters as a perk of SBC membership?

If not, today I wanted to highlight just three of them, each of whom have been very profitable in different markets and across a variety of bookmakers and exchanges.

Read on for more on each and if they appeal to you – you can learn more about the Free Tipsters we offer and sign-up for an SBC Membership here to gain access to them.

Profitable Betfair SP Racing Tipster

First up is Achievable Value, a service that is perfect for anyone looking for a ‘bet and forget’ racing tipster to add to their portfolio.

All selections are recorded against the Betfair Starting Price (with 2% deductions applied to every winner), meaning that it takes just a few minutes each day to place bets without any concern about shopping for the best price or worrying about account restrictions when you win.

Since tips went ‘live’ for SBC Members in March, 213 bets have produced 20.9 points profit – all at the sharpest betting line in racing. This is in line with the service’s SBC proofing period (detailed in the table below) and is actually below historical returns.

Profitable at Pinnacle: A Basketball Tipster

Next, we have Demetrio Giotti, a European basketball expert who has been with us at the SBC since 2016. His profit & loss graph has been going in one direction since (as you can see below) as his 685 bets have yielded 211 points profit at a ROI of 16%.

​

One of the most appealing things about Demetrio’s service is how he records his prices. Pinnacle Sports is used for odds quotation and as this is one of the world’s sharpest bookmakers, you are most likely to be able to easily match these prices.

Profitable Horse Racing Tipster with Fair Bookie Odds

Last but not least we have Pricewise With PCB, which curates Tom Segal’s famous column with alternative staking and insight from Paul Chandler-Burns.

This selectivity makes following the column more practical than the core service, as Paul reads between the lines to identify the bets that are ‘strong fancies’ for followers to get on, whilst discounting those that may be put up as ‘token bets’ on the quieter days.

This has worked. A 23% ROI at SP in 2020 has been followed by over 2 years of consistent profits as you can see in the graph and table below:

At the Smart Betting Club we cater for all budgets which is why we have a ‘Free Tipster’ section that provides quality services at no extra cost above your SBC membership payment.

Quality services such as ‘No Foto Needed’ which is a horse racing tipster that is running red hot right now.

So hot that last weekend, the service tipped a rather tasty 40/1 winner!

And not only that but an 8/1 winner as well, which meant backers recorded a huge 41.75 points in just one day!

Here’s the tips from last Saturday:

And this is no one-off. SBC has been tracking No Foto Needed for over 2 years now. In that time our results tracking service has recorded a total profit of 259.83 points which is equal to a 19.10% ROI.

​

Access with an SBC Membership

No Foto Needed is a highly profitable tipster with a long term record that would make a great addition to your portfolio. And the great thing is…it’s a cheap entry point to following tipsters.

2020 SBC Awards Results – Your Best and Worst Bookmakers

Posted on by

Tuesday saw the grand unveiling of the 2020 SBC Awards – featuring the results of your votes across 7 different categories from Best Free Tipster to Best Betting Website, Podcast & more.

In today’s post I have a bit more detail to share on a few of the winners, including that of just who you voted for in the Best & Worst Bookmaker Categories as well as Best Exchange.

Don’t forget you can grab your copy of the 2020 SBC Awards Report via the link below.

 

Best Bookmaker – Bet365

There was no contest this year when it came to your Best Bookmaker with Bet365 once again top of the pile taking nearly half of all votes cast.

There was notable movement below them as Skybet jumped from 4th to 2nd this year with 16.55% of the votes, whilst Pinnacle snared Bronze with 9.34%. The latter was quite the achievement when you consider that many punters are still unable to bet with them directly.

Of the other nominees, only William Hill polled a significant number with 7.15% of the votes in 4th spot. A full breakdown of the votes can be found below:

Best Bookmaker Votes

Worst Bookmaker – Ladbrokes (again!)

When it came to the Worst Bookmaker Award, the competition for places really heated up with 6 firms all attracting more than 10% of the vote share.

Despite the increased competition, it was Ladbrokes who once again won this Award – for the 4th year in a row no less, polling just short of 20% of your votes.

Up one place to Silver this year was Irish firm, Paddy Power, who increased their worst bookmaker vote share from 12.85% to 15.06%, whilst Coral took Bronze with 12.90%.

The 3 other firms each polling more than 10% each in 4th, 5th and 6th spot were Betfred, Boylesports and Betway respectively.

The issues put forward by those of you commenting after voting in this category surrounded the usual common themes of poor customer service, stake restrictions and account closures.

For balance it is worth noting that Best Bookie Award winners – Bet365 and Skybet both also polled about 2 to 3% each in this category. Reflecting the diverse ranges of opinions and experiences many of you have when it comes to bookmaker treatment.

Worst Bookmaker Votes

Best Exchange – Betfair

This year for the first time we also introduced a separate award for Best Betting Exchange to acknowledge the growth and increased competition in this market.

With only 4 contestants, we awarded prizes to the top two, with the Gold Award taken by the Betfair Exchange who took 74.05% of the votes.

Matchbook were their nearest competitor with 15.56% of your votes and took Silver, whilst Smarkets and Betdaq polled around 10% between them in 3rd and 4th.

It will be intriguing to see how the Exchange market changes in coming years with Betfair now adopting a lower 2% commission model for those that demand it – the same tariff as their 3 main rivals.

(It should be noted you have to choose this 2% rate as by default Betfair places you on 5%, whilst there is also an 8% option for anyone who wants it – not that you should, it’s terrible value. You can read more about setting your commission rate via this link.)

Of these exchange rivals, we have already seen how Matchbook continue to lead the way with impressive content – podcasts, articles and free tipsters, whilst Smarkets have been expanding their own remit with new sportsbook app – SBK and innovations of their own. Read our recent interview with Smarkets.

More competition is only a good thing as it ensures lower costs for us punters as we have seen with Betfair’s move from 5 to 2% commission last year. We therefore welcome this rivalry in the Betting Exchange sector.

Sample Our Review Of This Fantastic Free Racing Tipster

Posted on by Mike

Its fair to say that January can be a tight month at the best of times, so it makes sense to cut costs where you can.

So with this in mind we waited until this month to share with all SBC members our review of a little known FREE racing tipster service, which has been making eye-watering profits for the past 2 years now.

As our exclusive analysis reveals, this free to all tipster has made 115.16 pts profit from 249 bets at a Return On Investment of 36.85% in 2010 and 2011 – which is a huge profit.

To put this into financial terms – at simple £25 stakes, this would be a very handy £2,879 profit in 2 years. Who would turn that kind of money down these days?

To give you an insight into just how good this service is, below we have a number of extracts from our exclusive review for you to read. We have removed the services identity as this is for SBC members only, but it should give you a good idea of how good it is. Continue reading →
