It’s officially entering ‘squeaky bum time’ as Alex Fergusson likes to call the run into the end of the season. There is lots of talk about relegation 6-pointers, title-deciders and whether or not Fernando Torres could even finish his tea, let alone any of the myriad of chances missed since he joined Chelsea.

So with the football season entering its most exciting phase, it’stime for an update on the performance of the 7 top football tipsters that we monitor. This is something we started back in October with further updates in November & January to prove to all of you – just how good the best tipsters actually are.

There have been occasional ups and downs along the way (just as with any football team) but the cream has been rising to the top this season and overall the picture is as rosy as Sir Alex’s cheeks after a cheeky wee dram!

So without further ado here are the latest results of the 7 tipsters up to the end of February.

Please note – the actual names of each tipster have been protected and are available to full SBC members only. ROI also means’ Return on Investment’ which is the total profits divided by total stakes.

To quickly recap, the first 5 services above are in our Hall of Fame, whilst tipsters 6 and 7 are rated just beneath that in our ‘Recommended’ section.

Six out of these seven tipsters are performing generally very well, with perhaps the best performing being Service 7, with the highest ROI figure so far. This is closely followed by Services 1 through to 4 who are all making a profit to a high standard.

The only disappointment so far has been Service 5, which from the 60 bets so far has struggled to make a profit. Considering they have only advised 60 bets so far, you could say that they have ‘games in hand’ to make up for this. Ultimately though unless their performance picks up they are likely to be relegated due to not meeting the high standards we expect.

All combined though these 7 tipsters are hitting their straps with a profit of over £9000 to £50 stakes from the 1517 bets they have advised this year. The Return on Investment figure here is key as well, which is 10.16% combined. Effectively this means that for every £100 staked so far this season, you would have made £10.16 profit. This is a very healthy profit on your betting turnover.

Naturally we wouldn’t expect everyone to follow all of these services at the same time, but it does give you an idea of the potential here.

Gunning for Promotion

Alongside tracking the performance of these tipsters, we also continuously review and report back on a number of up and coming services, all of which are gunning for promotion into the top rated list.

There are currently 5 very interesting football only services that have been attracting our interest this season as they strive to prove themselves worthy of a future recommendation. Their profit and loss details for this coming season are listed below…

We are seeing some very impressive performance from four of the five services listed here and they will certainly be pushing hard for a recommendation from us in the future. Safe to say that it’s certainly looking very promising that our football tipsters list will only expand and grow in 2011/2012.
