Phil Smith Select – Exclusive To SBC
A streamlined football antepost betting service combining specialist goalscorer betting with carefully selected long-term football bets.
Phil Smith Select is a streamlined football antepost betting service that combines specialist goalscorer betting with a carefully curated portfolio of long term football antepost bets.
Designed for members who want to benefit from Phil Smith’s proven value based betting approach, but in a format that is quicker and easier to follow, Select delivers a more focused betting portfolio without compromising the research, discipline or active management that underpin Phil’s wider betting strategy.
Rather than attempting to cover every betting opportunity throughout the football season, Select concentrates on carefully chosen antepost positions, with particular emphasis on specialist goalscorer markets alongside selected league and outright bets.
By advising approximately half to two/thirds the number of selections released through the full Premium service, Select requires significantly less day to day involvement, a smaller betting bank and access to fewer bookmaker accounts.
Whether you’re new to football antepost betting or simply prefer a more manageable betting portfolio, Phil Smith Select offers an accessible way to benefit from one of the most respected football betting services we’ve reviewed.

Built On A Proven Betting Process
Whilst Select advises around half the number of bets released through the full Premium service, it follows exactly the same value based betting philosophy.
Every recommendation is driven by detailed research, disciplined staking and active portfolio management, with selections monitored throughout the season as prices evolve.
During our most recent review of Phil Smith Premium across the 2025/26 football season, Phil advised 1,799 bets, generating returns of £145,593.68 from £85,051.88 staked.
That produced profits of £62,096.74 and an outstanding return on investment of 72.99%.
Select applies those same principles within a more focused portfolio, making the service easier to follow whilst retaining the disciplined approach that has consistently impressed us during our independent reviews.
Why SBC & Phil Created The Service
One of the conclusions from our review of Phil Smith Premium was just how comprehensive the service had become.
The full service attacks value across a wide range of football antepost markets, with members receiving a steady flow of selections together with ongoing updates as positions are strengthened, reduced or closed throughout the season.
For many serious bettors, that’s exactly what they’re looking for.
However, throughout our review and conversations with members, it became clear there was another audience who admired Phil’s research and betting approach, but felt the full service simply wasn’t the right fit for them.
Some wanted fewer selections. Others preferred a smaller betting bank, access to fewer bookmaker accounts or a service that required less day to day involvement.
With that in mind, the Smart Betting Club worked closely with Phil to develop a dedicated service specifically for those members.
Rather than simply reducing the number of bets, Phil Smith Select has been designed as a service in its own right. It focuses on a carefully selected range of football antepost markets, placing greater emphasis on specialist goalscorer betting whilst significantly reducing the overall workload required to follow the advice successfully.
The result is a more focused betting portfolio that retains the same disciplined research, value based decision making and active portfolio management that have become hallmarks of Phil’s betting approach.
A More Focused Antepost Portfolio
Phil Smith Select remains, first and foremost, a football antepost betting service.
Members build a portfolio of long term betting positions throughout the football season, placing bets well before the eventual outcome is known and then managing those positions as markets evolve.
The difference lies in the composition of that portfolio. Rather than attacking every area of the football antepost market, Select concentrates on a more selective range of opportunities.
Goalscorer markets, including First Goalscorer, Anytime Goalscorer and Outright Top Goalscorer, form a much larger part of the strategy, alongside carefully chosen league and outright positions where Phil believes the available prices represent genuine value.
This more focused approach allows Phil to reduce the overall number of selections whilst still constructing a balanced antepost portfolio capable of producing strong long term returns.
Why Goalscorer Markets Play A Bigger Role
Football betting has become increasingly efficient over recent years, particularly within the most popular match betting markets.
Phil believes, however, that specialist goalscorer markets continue to offer attractive opportunities for bettors prepared to invest the time identifying players whose true chances have been underestimated by the bookmakers.
Factors such as tactical changes, penalty takers, injuries, squad rotation and evolving team styles can all create pricing inefficiencies before bookmakers fully adjust.
For that reason, Select places greater emphasis on goalscorer markets than Phil’s original existing service.
These positions form part of a broader antepost portfolio rather than existing in isolation.
As with the full service, the objective isn’t simply to place bets and wait for the season to finish. Every position is monitored throughout the campaign, with members receiving ongoing guidance whenever Phil believes positions should be strengthened, reduced or cashed out.
Phil’s Betting Approach & Why He Stands Out
Phil has been betting profitably since 2015 and has worked as a full time professional bettor since 2020.
His approach isn’t about predicting football results better than everyone else. Instead, it’s about identifying prices that underestimate a team’s or player’s true chance of success before the wider betting market adjusts.
Detailed research, disciplined staking and active portfolio management sit at the heart of everything he does.
Since the 2023/24 season, Smart Betting Club has independently reviewed Phil Smith Premium, analysing both its performance and the methodology behind it.
Over that time we’ve also spent many hours speaking with Phil, discussing his betting philosophy, reviewing his results and gaining a detailed understanding of how he approaches football betting.
One thing has become abundantly clear.
Phil is the real deal.
His results speak for themselves, but it’s his professionalism, integrity and genuine passion for helping members succeed that have impressed us just as much. Every recommendation is backed by detailed research, every position is actively managed and every decision is made with one objective in mind, finding long term value.
Unlike many tipsters, Phil has genuine skin in the game. He backs the same selections himself, with his own money, and his success is directly aligned with that of his members. When members do well, Phil does well too.
He’s also refreshingly approachable. Whether it’s answering questions in the Telegram group, explaining the reasoning behind a selection or advising members when circumstances change, Phil genuinely cares about delivering the best possible service.
In an industry where trust can sometimes be hard to find, we’ve found Phil to be one of the good guys.
Those same qualities, together with the disciplined betting approach that has underpinned the full Premium service, now form the foundation of Phil Smith Select.
How The Service Works
Phil Smith Select is delivered via Telegram using the same straightforward format as Phil’s full Premium service.
Each advised selection includes:
- A write-up of the bet
- Full betting details.
- Recommended stake.
- Minimum acceptable odds.
Members also gain access to a Telegram discussion community where ongoing updates, portfolio management advice and recommended cash outs are posted as markets develop.
Unlike traditional tipping services that release bets at fixed times each day, Select advises opportunities as value arises.
In most cases, members can expect selections between 12 noon and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Staking & Betting Bank
Phil Smith Select has been deliberately designed to be straightforward to follow.
Every selection is advised to a standard £1 point stake, allowing members to scale the service easily to suit their own betting bank.
Phil recommends a minimum betting bank of around £1,500 to £2,000.
As with any antepost betting strategy, patience is essential.
Many positions remain open for several months before settling, meaning betting funds will be committed for longer than with traditional day to day betting services. Profits are also unlikely to arrive evenly throughout the season.
Bookmakers Used & Needed To Follow
One of the practical advantages of Phil Smith Select is that it can be followed successfully with only a small portfolio of bookmaker accounts.
In most cases, four or five major bookmakers will comfortably cover the vast majority of advised selections.
These are expected to include:
• Bet365
• William Hill
• Sky Bet
• Virgin Bet / LiveScore Bet
Minimum acceptable odds accompany every recommendation, allowing members to know exactly where the value exists should prices begin to move.
