Congratulations to those of you who signed up to Golf Betting Clubafter reading our blog post last week!
A service that is really firing this year, Akshay Bhatia delivered their latest winner as he won in the Valero Texas Open after being advised as a headline tip at 60/1 earlier in the week:
Bhatia looked like cruising home until an unbelievable final round by Denny McCarthy forced a playoff, which Bhatia took after his rival inexplicably found the water on the first playoff hole.
This success takes the service’s overall profit for 2024 to over 125 points and with ‘GBC’ tipping into mature markets, across all three tours, in exotic markets and in-play, they really do provide the complete package as we can see here:

Weekly Golf Valuehas long been a favourite of ours here at the SBC as the service performs year after year, with quite remarkable returns by every metric.
The ‘new kid on the block‘ grabbing a lot of attention is Golf Betting Club and after some remarkable winners fromboth services in recent weeks (and with the Major season upon us), we thought that we’d profile them side by side, with some comparisons to help you decide which one would suit you best:
The Newcomers: Golf Betting Club
The pretender to the crown, ‘GBC’ have had a brilliant 2024, with two stand out wins being joined by plenty of other returns and some bad beats!
Unfortunately for GBC, Kiradech Aphibarnrat (80/1) was in the latter group in the weekend just gone as he was beaten in a gruelling playoff but previous winners this year have demonstrated the service’s edge perfectly…
The first of those was Chris Kirk, a 40/1 winner recommended in-play. This facet of what Neil and Duncan Campbell offer is unique, with daily updates from each tournament providing a more comprehensive service than anything else in the market as value is highlighted right up until the last round of play.
Matteo Mannassero (200/1, with a ‘tracked price of 175/1) was the service’s ‘big recent win’ and the analysis from Neil & Duncan demonstrates how sharp their service is:
A fair price policy, realistic bets available with plenty of bookmakers and a later release time make GBC the perfect example of how to tip into golf markets. The in-play angle is a real ‘USP’, making this the perfect service for anyone who wants to watch tournaments unfold with regular betting investments.
The Established SBC Superstars: Weekly Golf Value
If GBC are the pretenders to the crown then Weekly Golf Value are the consistent and grizzled veteran who have proven themselves over and over again as their record demonstrates:
The aforementioned Kiradech Aphibarnrat may have cost GBC but his opponent in that playoff was Jesper Svensson who won for Weekly Golf Value (at 50/1).
He joins Rikuya Hoshino (45/1) and Darius Van Driel (55/1) as selections who have won in 2024 alongside 27 places, an area where the service finds consistent value using the Bookie Bashing Racing Tracker.
For those of you who would like to learn how that all works, this video provides an explanation, with Tom Brownlee joining a SBC ‘panel’ to discuss all things golf:
Which One Is Best For You?
The Masters, The PGA Championship, The U.S. Open and The Open Championship will be arriving thick and fast in the next few months, making this a good time to consider adding a golf service to your portfolio.
These two services have similarities – they both cover all of the tours, they both have excellent historical records and they both have practicality and value at the heart of everything they do.
The differences are where you can judge for yourself which one you would prefer.
A quick run through the tournaments each week? Low workload? Lots of bookmaker options? Weekly Golf Valueis probably the best call.
Ongoing action, exotic bets, a wider range of odds and commentary that can help you find your own bets? Golf Betting Clubmay suit you best.
If you would like more of a blend, with different strategies for finding value and a higher field coverage then these services also complement each other, making both an option!

In the latest SBC Podcast I was joined by some returning guests who I last hosted on SBC Podcast #25 over 2 years ago.
Duncan and Neil Campbell are the sibling duo whose expertise makes up Golf Betting Club, the fantastic tipping service that has been going strong since its inception in 2020.
2 years is a long time in the golf world so I had lots of new things to talk to the Campbells about! Tours, markets and media coverage are all quite different from our last chat in 2021 so we covered lots of new ground.
Tipping ‘etiquette’, exotic markets, finding value in play and odds availability were some of the other topics that we focussed on.
With ‘GBC’ and SBC sharing a philosophy when it comes to betting, we have ‘partnered up’ for 2024. We love the way that GBC do things, think their in-play angle is a really strong USP and are delighted to welcome them to our Premium Tipster Stable.
We talk a little about that in this chat, alongside everything touched on above and so much more.

An In=Depth Chat With Hardened Golf Punters
In this episode, Duncan, Neil and I discuss:
Duncan & Neil’s dynamic, how they balance betting & tipping with other work and managing time with such an all-consuming business
Watching tournaments to find value and keep abreast of player performance
Getting on, exchanges and the challenges of backing value once you have found it
Place terms, the timing of bets and balancing value with attainability for members
Tipsters betting on Mondays and how GBC’s approach is different with ‘Best’, ‘Tracked’ and ‘Minimum’ prices all provided for their subscribers
Betting in-play and why the Campbells often prefer it over pre-tournament action
Exotic markets, 3-balls and the edges available outside of the core markets
How player profiling can help with in-play betting, especially for those players consistently disrespected by the markets
Reflecting on performance, planned improvements and changes in the golf betting markets
LIV, The PGA Tour, The DPWT and how the politics of golf may well offer up betting opportunities
Statistics, popular metrics and how the Campbells have their own approaches to assessing players, especially when they play on different tours
Pre-event vs. in play & using the first round to gauge whether a player makes the shortlist
Variance, losing runs and dealing with this (as both tipsters and punters)
Where to find GBC and how to access their content (much of which is free!)
Predictions for 2024 and beyond
It is great to speak to tipsters who take so much care in how and when they release tips, with attainability at the forefront of their mind with every message they send out.
This chimes with our ethos at the SBC and with so much else on offer, I can recommend following Golf Betting Club on social media (@golfbettingclub) or visiting their website if you have an interest in the sport (and betting on it!).
You can also learn more about ‘GBC’ on their SBC page, with sign up options for SBC members (and non-members) available at the bottom of the page.
We couldn’t have chosen a better week to introduce our newest Premium Service: Golf Betting Club as they struck early in 2024 with a 40/1 winner from one of their in-play selections on Sunday!
The Sentry was a tricky tournament to open the year but one tipster service spotted something before the weekend started with an in-play write up and selection for the eventual winner, Chris Kirk:
The brothers who operate the service, Neil and Duncan Campbell, do things a bit differently, with ‘traditional’ pre-tournament bets accompanied by 3-ball selections and in-play value bets to make this a ‘4 day a week service’!
This means that instead of getting just one email or notification on a Tuesday or Wednesday with bets, you can expect several messages with value bets throughout any given tournament at the end of each day’s play.
This unique approach is complemented by other good practice and offerings that set ‘GBC’ apart, including:
Only betting into mature markets: there is no cherry picking of Monday afternoon prices here – bets are put forward when liquidity is available. Usually this is on a Wednesday, with occasional earlier bets.
Fair ‘Tracked Prices’ that are available with multiple firms; standouts can be taken if you have accounts, but they are not used for record keeping.
Minimum Value Prices; if you don’t have the accounts or have missed bets before price cuts there is no need to worry. Minimum guide prices are provided.
Detailed write-ups and mentions. Neil and Duncan may highlight value that you may want to access to increase your betting bank turnover. If you want more bets, they are there to be had!
To learn more about this process, we have detailed how selections are arrived at, the Campbells’ inspirations and much more on the GBC’s SBC page. In SBC Podcast #25 you can listen to the brothers discuss their service with myself and a more up to date chat will be released soon!
The Record
GBC have been in operation since 2020 and over 4 years they have posted the following headline figures:
3,471 bets have been advised
5,359.5 points have been staked
Profit stands at 1,142.7 points
ROI stands at 21.32%
The unique in-play element of the service drives a lot of this profit, with spots like Chris Kirk adding to consistent and steady wins in the 3 ball and exotic markets. Here is what the ‘in-play’ returns look like:
As with the process, GBC’s page has more granular detail about this record and a bet-by-bet results sheet is available for you to study if you so wish.
