🎧SBC Podcast #68: Pre-Event & In-Play Golf Edges ⛳

Posted on by Josh P

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.

You can listen to Episode 68 now via ​Apple​ / ​Spotify​ / ​Google​ / ​YouTube​ and all other major podcast directories (search Smart Betting Club)

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.

Enjoy!

🚨Golf Betting Club, Meet The Smart Betting Club🚨

Posted on by Josh P

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:

Golf Betting Club

This is what you can expect from Golf Betting Club! ​

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.
