Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs – Full Review

 

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs is a trading service run by a guy called Chris, a professional trader. It is operated out of the long-running Banker Bets platform which we have previously reviewed here at HBR.  

Chris provides a number of different betting and trading strategies he’s refined over the past couple of years. They’re a mix of back and lay betting, some pre-match and some in-play.

The service is supplied via the Telegram messenger app, with members receiving selections for the day via a spreadsheet link and then live alerts for in-play trades. 

The number of strategies in operation changed quite a lot over the course of the review as some were dropped and others added. By the end of our review, there were 21 active strategies as part of the service. 

In terms of how we proofed the service, we did find it a very difficult service to review to be honest. 

We started off proofing three strategies, then expanded it to six once we had got our heads around how the service worked and how to operate the strategies, only to then see five of those six strategies removed from the service, leaving us with just one. 

We then added two new strategies to give us something more to proof and to allow us to complete the review, but obviously that wasn’t ideal. 

In the end, the one strategy that was in operation for the whole of our trial, the Home Wins, made £285 profit made from stakes ranging from £5 to £20 per bet. 

The other two strategies we added later were the overs and draws, and they made: 

  • Overs: +£56 profit
  • Draws: -£213 loss

So a bit of a mixed bag there with those two. 

Of the strategies that were retired, some of them had actually been doing quite well, for example the Home Values Draw were +£494 whilst the 15 minute lay the draw was +£484. 

However, Chris felt they weren’t optimal to his service (or there were better ones available) so were replaced by other systems. 

There are also some in-play strategies you can trade with those service, although you would need to have the time to be able to enter and exit trades when alerts are given out, which won’t be the case for everyone. 

Overall we felt this was a promising service and Chris is clearly very knowledgeable and hard-working.

However, we found it a difficult service to follow and proof and felt there were just a few too many changes made in terms of the strategies being dropped and introduced. 

We think it could have benefited from a bit more stability and sticking with some of the strategies that had good long-term results. As the old saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! 

All betting strategies go through short-term ups and downs and sometimes it can be worth sticking with them to see how they turn out in the long run.

Anyway, that is just our view – it is obviously up to Chris how he runs the service and what he feels is best. 

Overall though, of the strategies still running, the three we proofed made a combined £128 profit from £10 average stakes – or around 13 points profit to one point stakes in other words.

At a return on investment of just 2% and over a period of 12 months we didn’t feel that was quite enough to warrant a passed rating so are only able to award this service a NEUTRAL rating at this time. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Selections are provided via the Telegram app. As mentioned above, it is quite a difficult service to follow – firstly to get your head around how all the various strategies work and then to keep up as strategies are added and dropped. How many selections there are each day depends on how many strategies you follow, but if following all you are looking at around 5-10 selections per day most days, with a potential of up to 20 on a busy day.

Availability of prices: The prices quoted seemed reasonably available on Betfair overall – some would shorten whilst others drifted, pretty much evening out overall. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was decent at 62% across the three active systems.

Advised Betting Bank: 1-3% staking of the bank per bet is recommended for following the service, which seems reasonable to us given the high strike rate. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are  £33 per month, £79 per quarter or £277 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs is a mixture of different betting and trading strategies, including back and lay betting, some pre-match and some in-play. 

We found it quite a difficult service to review to be honest, with strategies being added and removed throughout our trial and it taking quite a bit of effort to understand how they all worked. 

At the end of our trial, the three active strategies we proofed finished a combined £128 up at £10 average stakes, meaning this service receives a NEUTRAL rating from us in the end.

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs – Results Update

14th January 2024

It has been a mixed bag for the systems of the Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs lately, with some quite different results being posted for the three systems we are proofing:

  • Home Win: +£285 profit
  • Overs: +£56 profit
  • Draws: -£213 loss

That means the three systems are a combined £128 up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder that five of the six systems we were proofing have now been retired, with the only one remaining from when we started being the Home Win system.

We have recently added in the Overs and Draws systems, which as you can see have had quite varying results so far. 

Hopefully these three stay in operation for the time being to allow us to complete the review.

 

 

 

 

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs – Results Update

5th December 2023

It has become somewhat difficult to review Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs lately, with five of the six systems we had been proofing now no longer in operation. 

The one system that is still in operation, the Home Win system, has lost £48 since our last update. 

That means it is now £262 up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

This has left us in a tricky position as to what to do with this review going forward.

Normally we like to stick to whatever systems or strategies are in place at the outset of our review and follow them through to the end. It is not ideal to be adding and removing strategies as you go along. 

It also calls into question somewhat the viability of the service if strategies are being retired, in essence as they are either not profitable or not practical to follow.

However, we want to be fair as possible and to see if we can make a sustainable profit from this service. 

So we will continue with the one strategy that is still going, the Home Wins – which to be fair is well in profit – and add two more strategies. 

These will be the Overs and the Draws. 

We will stick with these three until the end of our trial and hopefully they will remain in operation so we can finish our review.

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs – Results Update

21st October 2023

A small drop for Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs lately, with a loss of £143 or 14.3 points made since our last update on the six systems we have been proofing.

The results for those six strategies are as follows (at £10 per point):-

  • 15 Minute LTD: +£489 profit
  • Home Values Draw – RETIRED: +£494 profit 
  • Home Win: +£310 profit
  • Home Win LTD: -£9 loss
  • HT LTD V2: -£39 loss
  • Double Chance – RETIRED: -£56 loss

That means the total now stands at £1189, or 119 points profit made for our trial so far.

You can view full results here.

As you can see above, two of the systems have been retired – the Home Values Draw and Double Chance systems. 

We are slightly surprised by the Home Values Draw being retired as it was nearly £500 in profit, but obviously they feel it hasn’t quite been performing well enough recently to justify continuing with. 

Anyway, that leaves us with four systems to follow for the time being which makes things a little easier and hopefully those remaining four systems can kick on again.

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs – Results Update

11th August 2023

A small drop for Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs lately, with a loss of £33 or 3.3 points made since our last update on the six systems we have been proofing.

The results for those six strategies are as follows (at £10 per point):-

  • 15 Minute LTD: +£472 profit
  • Home Values Draw: +£603 profit 
  • Home Win: +£350 profit
  • Home Win LTD: +£44 profit
  • HT LTD V2: -£1 loss
  • Double Chance: -£51 loss

That means the total now stands at £1417, or 142 points profit made for our trial so far.

You can view full results here.

As mentioned previously there is a lot to take in with this service so we would advise starting off with just 2-3 systems, as it can be quite overwhelming trying to get your head around everything right from the start and you risk potentially making mistakes, over-staking or not quite understanding it all straight away. 

With the new season kicking off the action should really start picking up over the next few weeks and hopefully they can repeat the success of last season and add to the already substantial profits.

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs – Results Update

11th July 2023

A small gain for Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs lately, with a profit of £16, or 1.6 points, made since our last update on the main three systems we have been proofing.

The results for those three strategies are as follows:-

  • 15 Minute LTD: +£511 profit
  • Home Values Draw: +£531 profit 
  • Home Win: +£356 profit

Those results are to £10 per point stakes so the total of £1398 profit is equivalent to 139.8 points profit for our trial so far.

Since our last update we have added in three further systems:

  • Home Win LTD: +£60 profit
  • HT LTD V2: -£36 loss
  • Double Chance: +25 profit

All in all then with that £49 across those three systems, the total now stands at £1450, or 145 points profit made for our trial so far.

You can view full results here.

We would advise starting off with just 2-3 systems, as it can be quite overwhelming trying to get your head around everything right from the start and you risk potentially making mistakes, over-staking or not quite understanding it all straight away. 

Whilst each strategy in itself is not overly complicated, altogether there are 16 strategies currently which is a lot to take in. 

So we would say take it slow and steady and build things up with this one. Overall we have been very impressed with the service but it does take some effort to fully grasp everything as we say.  

 

 

 

 

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs – Results Update

29th May 2023

Firstly an apology for the delay in updating our review of Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs. It is quite a difficult service to review as there are 17 separate strategies and a huge amount to take in.

The main thing we had to decide on was which of these strategies we would proof as it would not be feasible to try and track all of them – or even half of them to be honest. 

After some careful thought we have settled on three strategies – one of which is an in-play strategy and the other two are pre-match strategies. 

The three strategies are:-

  • 15 Minute Lay the Draw (LTD) – this involves laying the draw in a match after 15 minutes if the score is still 0-0. 
  • Home Values Draw – backing the draw before kick-off
  • Home Win – backing the home win before kick-off.

These three strategies are all pretty simple to operate and should be manageable for anyone, even if you are new to betting/trading. 

In any event, the results for those three strategies have been very good:

  • 15 Minute LTD: +£497 profit
  • Home Values Draw: +£560 profit 
  • Home Win: +£325 profit

Those results are to £10 per point stakes so the total of £1382 profit is equivalent to 138 points profit for our trial so far.

You can view full results here.

Although we haven’t been able to proof all the strategies as we say, the official results show a profit of 389 points in total for 2023 for the strategies combined. 

So it’s been impressive stuff so far. 

All the selections are sent out by Telegram and the odds quoted are with the Betfair exchange. 

For us following three strategies is just about manageable but there may be members who follow more (or all) so it’s a question of picking what is right for you.

Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs – New Review

18th January 2023

We are starting a new trial today of a football trading service called Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs. 

The trader behind the service is a guy called Chris, a professional trader who has been proofing to the Banker Bets site for 8 months and has reportedly made an impressive £7,373 profit in that time. 

Chris operates 6 profitable trading strategies he’s refined over the past couple of years. They’re a mix of back and lay betting, some pre-match and some in-play.

The trading strategies have reportedly produced the following results:-

  • Lay the Draw: +£1568 profit
  • Half-time Lay the Draw: +£1317 profit
  • 60 minute Lay the Draw: +£409 profit
  • Double Chance: +£749 profit
  • Second half goals: +£2518 profit
  • Overs: +£814 profit

In terms of what all that means in points terms is a little difficult to say as different staking is used for each system (and even within each system), ranging from as little as £10 up to over £100 stake liability.

However, clearly the results have been excellent (presuming they are accurate of course) in terms of achieving substantial profit across each of the strategies. The strike rate across the strategies has been high at 77% overall. 

The trades are provided via the Telegram app where you’ll receive notification of each selection.

We are quite excited by this one as we have always felt there is great scope to make profits from trading football, but with one or two notable exceptions (e.g. Goal Profits), we are yet to see any services actually produce trading profits under live trial conditions. 

As ever we will reserve judgement until we have conducted the trial but we are at least hopeful this could be a decent trading service. Results will be updated here as we go along as usual. 

In the meantime you can check out Banker Bets Football Trading Clubs for yourself here.

 

 

 

The Inside Man – Results Update

As we get towards the business end of proceedings let’s hope they can finish the season in style.

The Inside Man – Results Update

16th March 2024

A small gain for football tipster The Inside Man over the last month, with a profit of 2 points made since our last update.

That means they are now an impressive 60 points up for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here. 

As mentioned in a previous results update, quite a few of the tips (around a third) are player passes bets, which you will need bookie accounts for – and specifically Bet365 if you want to match the advised number of passes on the specific player.

You can still follow the service without the player passes bets, but the profit would be significantly reduced (by over half for our trial).

The Inside Man – Results Update

The Inside Man – Results Update

16th January 2024

More solid progress for football tipster The Inside Man lately, with 4 points profit made since our last update.

That means they are now an impressive 60 points up for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here. 

It’s worth noting that you should be able to place most of the bets with this service at the exchanges as they are in main markets such as match odds, Asian handicap, total goals etc. 

However, some of the bets are in the “player passes” market which is not available on the exchanges and requires bookmaker accounts.

More specifically, in some cases these bets are only available at Bet365 (with both the appropriate player and spread being available). 

So looking at the player passes bets in isolation, there have been 156 in our trial to date (out of 454 total bets), producing a profit of 40 points. 

Just something to bear in mind if you are looking at following the service, as having a Bet365 account to place the player passes bets is a significant advantage.

The Inside Man – Results Update

7th December 2023

Not much change lately for Football tipster The Inside Man, with just the 1 point profit made since our last update.

That means they are now 56 points up for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here. 

It’s been feast or famine for this service lately, with a run of four out of five winners, then four and a half out of five (the half win being an Asian handicap), then four losers in a row.

So if you were doing accas or multiples of the tips then it would have worked out nicely. Otherwise taking the tips as they are advised, in singles and occasional doubles, it’s been a roughly break-even month.

The Inside Man – New Review

15th October 2022

We are starting a new review today of a football service called The Inside Man. 

This one comes from the Bet Chat stable of tipsters and has been around for a couple of years. 

The tips are provided by a guy called Adam Cheng, who worked at bookmaker Fitzdares and became head of football trading. This role saw him not only work on the side of the bookmaker, but also as a trader for the company on football markets, making additional profits. 

He decided in early 2020 to go full-time as a professional gambler and has been doing pretty well since. 

The results published on the Bet Chat website show a profit of just under 100 points made so far, at a return on investment of 10%. 

The strike rate is very solid at 51%, meaning at least half the bets so far have been winners. 

There are a variety of different markets used including first goalscorer, Asian handicap, total goals, corners, player passes and more. 

We’ve been on the lookout for a profitable new football tipster and the results from this one look promising. 

So let’s see how they get on in a live trial. Results will be updated regularly here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out The Inside Man for yourself here.

So we probably need to see that pick up a bit for them to get into profit for the trial in the long run.

Euro Football Punter – Results Update

18th February 2023

A slight backwards step for the Euro Football Punter over the last month, with a loss of 9 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 4 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

There are generally 2-3 bets per day with this service – sometimes more at weekends – with tips normally posted early in the morning with plenty of time to get the bets on. 

Anyway, let’s hope they can get back on track and move back into the green by the time of our next update.

Euro Football Punter – Results Update

16th January 2023

It’s been a solid start to our trial of the Euro Football Punter, with a profit of 5 points made so far to advised prices after six weeks.

You can view full results here.

True to the tipster’s name, leagues all across Europe are used, including Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Greece and England. 

Simple 1 point staking is used on every bet, which is something we like to see as it keeps things straightforward to follow and means results aren’t inflated or exaggerated in any way like you see with some services.

Euro Football Punter – New Review

29th November 2022

We are starting a new trial today of a footy tipster called the Euro Football Punter. 

This is a new service from the Betting Gods tipster platform and has some strong results since starting up in May 2021. 

According to the results on the Betting Gods site, they have made over 130 points profit so far, which is an impressive haul. 

That has been achieved with an excellent 67% win rate – meaning a high proportion of winning bets, something we always like to see. 

The return on investment is also good at 16%. For football services anything around 10% is considered a strong ROI so to be up at 16% with a high strike rate is notable. 

A variety of markets are utilised for the bets including match odds, first half goals and over/under 2.5 goals. 

Leagues across Europe are used, including Ireland, Belgium and Scandinavian leagues, so not the biggest leagues but it’s often these lesser leagues where value can be found as there is less focus on them and information is not so readily available. 

One of the nice things about the service is that there have been some long winning streaks – quite a few over ten and some even 16+ match winning streaks. 

It’s in those instances that the bank can really grow quickly. 

Hopefully we’ll see those kind of streaks repeated during our trial but only time will tell. As ever results will be updated here as we go along so you can see how the tips are getting on. 

In the meantime you can check out the Euro Football Punter for yourself here. 

 

 

 

Away Wins – Results Update

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Not much change lately for football tipster Away Wins, with a loss of just 1 point made since our last update.

That means they are now 58 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Worth noting that they started off tipping in doubles but have now switched to just single bets. They also started off at 5 point stakes and are now tipping at 2.5 point stakes. 

Since they switched to single bets and 2.5 point stakes, they are actually level for our trial so perhaps the previous approach was just too aggressive and they have now settled on a more sensible method.

Away Wins – New Review

8th November 2023

We are starting a new trial today of a football service called Away Wins. 

This service comes from the Phil Rushton stable of tipsters. The tips are provided by Steve Hudson, who also supplies the tips for the Goal King service which passed a review here at Honest Betting Reviews back in 2021.

As the name suggests, this service focuses on backing the away teams in football matches. 

Steve says he feels that home advantage can be overstated in football and there is therefore value to be found in backing away teams in certain circumstances when they are playing well. 

The twist with this service however is they are backed in doubles rather than singles. 

Steve feels this can increase his edge over the bookies when he identifies value on away teams. 

The results published on the Away Wins website look very promising, with 180 points profit made since May of this year. 

That would be £1,800 profit at £10 per point or £4,500 profit at £25 per point stakes.

Equally impressive has been the strike rate of 43% for the winning doubles and a huge return on investment (ROI) of 33%. 

If those results can be repeated over the course of a live trial and in the long run that would certainly be very impressive and would make this a valuable addition to anyone’s betting portfolio.

The bets come in the major European leagues including the Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1, as well as other leagues such as the Swedish Allsvenskan and Belgian Jupiler League. 

With bets being on the match odds market – and being placed in doubles – there shouldn’t be too many issues with liquidity or achieving advised prices. 

So it all looks encouraging but as ever we will wait to see how this one performs under a live trial before delivering a verdict.

We will update results here as we go along as usual so you can see how they are getting on.  

In the meantime you can check out Away Wins for yourself here.

 

 

 

 

AAA Bettor – Results Update

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Something of a step backwards for football tipster AAA Bettor lately, with a loss of 8 points made since our last update.

That means they are now 6 points down for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here.

On 2nd December, the tipster sent out this message:

“Unfortunately, there will be no bets this weekend either. The reason is that my available time for analyzing football during the week is no longer as good as before. This means that at the moment, I am not in a position to catch the good bets at the right time.

“When doing this analysis on a Saturday morning like this, there are still opportunities. But the expected value is not as good as what is reflected in my historic numbers. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that it is better to not send anything, even if I think there is still some value.

“This means there will unfortunately be a break in the service. I don’t know for how long it will last, but at least until Jan 1.”

So we will put this trial on hold for the time being until they are back up and running again.

AAA Bettor – Results Update

It’s been a solid start to our trial of football tipster AAA Bettor, with a profit of 2 points made so far after one month. 

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder this is a tipster specialsing in the Premier League, with tips provided via Telegram. 

They only tip on the biggest markets on the exchange – ‘match winner’, ‘over/under goals’ and ‘Asian Handicaps,’ meaning there is plenty of liquidity available. 

A solid start then, let’s see if they can built on it.

AAA Bettor – New Review

5th October 2023

We are starting a new review today of a football betting service called AAA Bettor from the Wadster tipster platform. 

This is an English Premier league football tipster and they only tip on the biggest markets on the exchange – ‘match winner’, ‘over and under goals’ and ‘Asian Handicaps,’ meaning there is plenty of liquidity available and there should be no problem getting bets on. 

AAABettor, a seasoned sports bettor with a substantial background in finance and statistical modeling, has been actively engaged in sports betting for an extended period.

His journey commenced by closely following advice from other tipsters, which provided him with valuable insights into the intricacies of betting theory.

Drawing from his expertise in finance and statistical modeling, AAABettor began creating football score models, initially as a recreational pursuit. Given the widely held belief in market efficiency, particularly in the major leagues, the prospect of consistently achieving profits seemed challenging.

However, AAABettor’s experience took an unexpected turn as he discovered that gaining an advantage was indeed achievable, even in highly competitive leagues like the English Premier League.

He learned that shortly after matches in a given gameweek, when the market was still developing, he could identify compelling value-based odds. 

This insight enabled him to place bets with a positive expected value in advance of the subsequent week’s games. His unique ability to process information in his model more swiftly than the market gave him a significant edge.

That edge seems to be real, with results to date reportedly standing at 130 points profit at an ROI of 6.5%, all at achievable prices.

Since going live on the Wadster tipster platform, he’s up 30pts for an ROI of 10% for the first season on the platform. 

Bets are provided via a Telegram bot and users pay a fee for a certain amount of profit (pay as you go). 

We will kick off this review today then and record results here as we go along. 

In the meantime you can check out AAA Bettor for yourself here. Please note – if you type the code “HONEST” in full capitals, into the affiliate part of the bot (bottom of menu) on sign up you will get 3 free credits! 

 

 

 

Betting Mastermind (Football) – Final Review

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

We have reached the end of our nine month trial of Betting Mastermind (Football) and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:   +14 points profit
Strike Rate:   35% 
Bank Growth:   +7%
ROI:   1%
Average number of bets:   6 bets per day
Cost:  £29.99 per month
VERDICT:   NEUTRAL
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

Betting Mastermind – Full Review

 

Betting Mastermind (Football) is a suite of football betting systems across a range of markets. 

It should not be confused with Mike Cruickshank’s matched betting suite of the same name, which was released a couple of years ago and is completely separate. To differentiate the two we refer to this service as Betting Mastermind (Football). 

Anyway, Betting Mastermind (Football) is a group of football betting strategies, which at the start of our trial consisted of:

  • Back the draw
  • Lay the draw
  • Back the home win
  • Back the away win
  • Back over 0.5 first half goals

During the course of our review, the lay the draw strategy was dropped. We were also not able to proof the first half goals system which often has low liquidity so prices needed to be verified at kick-off time (with some matches kicking off late at night and early morning when we were not available). 

Anyway, all four strategies are included within the monthly subscription price if you do wish to follow them all.

We followed the service for 9 months which gave us nearly a full season of tips and provided over 1700 bets, a very good sample size. 

Bets can be placed on Betfair which is good for those whose bookie accounts have been restricted and results are recorded according to the Betfair prices. All bets are simple win bets with no trading required. 

At the end of our review, the results of the systems were as follows:-

  • Back the draw: -2 points
  • Lay the draw: -33 points (discontinued in January)
  • Back the home win: +36 points
  • Back the away win: +13 points

TOTAL: +14 points

So a solid effort there but given it was over the course of nine months and over 1700 bets, the returns were a little on the low side. 

The return on investment was also low at just 1% and the bank growth only 7%. 

Whilst we always a profit is a profit and shouldn’t be sniffed at, ultimately if you take the overall returns and cost of subscription, it just doesn’t quite warrant a passed rating from us.

So we award Betting Mastermind a NEUTRAL rating at the end of our trial. If you are going to follow the service, it looks like the back the home win and back the away win are the two strategies to concentrate on. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, at different times of day depending on when the matches are. Either way there is plenty of time to get the bets on. With around 6 bets per day on average there is a bit of work involved in following the service, although as mentioned earlier all bets can be placed on Betfair which makes things easier. 

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice a huge impact on prices so you should be able to get close to the recorded results without too much problem.   

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was okay at 35% but would probably need to be a little higher to generate a consistent profit. 

Advised Betting Bank: We could not see a recommended bank for following the service but used a 200 point bank for the purposes of our review which was never in jeopardy.  

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £29.99 per month.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Betting Mastermind (Football) is a suite of football betting systems covering a range of different markets. 

We conducted a nine-month trial of the service and at the end of our review, they made a solid profit of 14 points. 

Whilst that was a respectable result, based on a low ROI of 1% and bank growth of just 7%, it wasn’t quite enough to merit a passed rating so it’s a NEUTRAL rating from us for this service.

Betting Mastermind – Results Update

16th April 2023

It’s been a good time lately for football service Betting Mastermind, with a profit of 40 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 73 points up for our trial overall at advised prices. 

That is made up of the following results across their three systems:

  • Back the Draw: +7 points
  • Back the Home Win: +41 points
  • Back the Away Win: +25 points
  • Lay the Draw: discontinued 

You can view full results here.

As mentioned previously there are a huge number of selections for this service, so you may wish to follow just one or two of the systems rather than all of them (also a note that we are no longer including the FHG bets in our results as they turned out quite difficult to proof on prices).  

The Lay the Draw selections had been really struggling and were over 40 points down for our trial, so were discontinued on 18th March so that some time can be taken to review it and put it to use in a better way.

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Betting Mastermind – Results Update

10th February 2023

It’s been a better month for football service Betting Mastermind, with a profit of 32 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 33 points up for our trial overall at advised prices. 

That is made up of the following results across their five systems:

  • Back the Draw: +21 points
  • Lay the Draw: -33 points
  • Back the Home Win: +21 points
  • Back the Away Win: +24 points

You can view full results here.

As mentioned previously there are a huge number of selections for this service, so you may wish to follow just one or two of the systems rather than all of them (also a note that we are no longer including the FHG bets in our results as they turned out quite difficult to proof on prices).  

Alternatively there is the option of using BF Bot Manager to automate the strategies, with instructions on how to do so included with the service. 

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Betting Mastermind – Results Update

6th January 2023

There’s been a slight downturn for football service Betting Mastermind lately, with a loss of 19 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now just 1 point up for our trial overall at advised prices. 

That is made up of the following results across their five systems:

  • Back the Draw: -3 points
  • Lay the Draw: -22 points
  • Back the Home Win: +23 points
  • Back the Away Win: +3 points
  • Over 0.5 First Half Goals +0.24 points

You can view full results here.

As mentioned previously there are a huge number of selections for this service, so you may wish to follow just one or two of the systems rather than all five. 

Alternatively there is the option of using BF Bot Manager to automate the strategies, with instructions on how to do so included with the service. 

Either way though has been a steady trial so far at pretty much breakeven so hopefully they can kick on now that we have a full set of football fixtures again.

Betting Mastermind – Results Update

2nd November 2022

It’s been a positive start to our trial of football service Betting Mastermind, with a profit of 20 points made so far to advised prices. 

That is made up of the following results across their five systems:

  • Back the Draw: -10 points
  • Lay the Draw: -30 points
  • Back the Home Win: +33 points
  • Back the Away Win: +27 points
  • Over 0.5 First Half Goals +0.3 points

You can view full results here.

Just to note that we have only been able to proof prices for the Back the Draw and Lay the Draw systems in this trial as verifying prices across all the different systems would be a major challenge with a huge number of selections, particular for the first half goals system which often has low liquidity so prices would need to be verified at kick-off time (with some matches kicking off late at night and early morning).

The prices we have been able to proof for the two systems match up pretty closely to the advised prices however, with some a little higher and some a little lower, but overall ending up with very similar results.

A promising start to this trial then, let’s hope it continues.

Betting Mastermind – New Review

26th September 2022

Today we are starting a new trial of a football betting service called Betting Mastermind. 

This should not be confused with the Mike Cruickshank matched betting suite of the same name, which was released a couple of years ago and is completely separate. To differentiate the two we are referring to this service as Betting Mastermind (Football). 

Anyway, Betting Mastermind (Football) is a group of football betting strategies, consisting of:

  • Back the draw
  • Lay the draw
  • Back the home win
  • Back the away win
  • Back over 0.5 first half goals

All five strategies are included within the monthly subscription price.

Stuart says he has “been working a developing loads of different strategies to not only create consistently logical and profitable betting systems centred around football, but also how I can diversify that betting so that at no point I have all my liquidity and bank at risk on a single market.”

The results to date look very impressive – almost too good to be true to be honest – with 1880 points profit supposedly made to date since 2019.

We very much hope those results are true as it would be great to find another profitable footy tipster with there being so few of them around. 

In any event, there is only one way to find out and that is through a live trial so we look forward to kicking this one off (if you’ll excuse the pun) and see if they can reproduce the excellent profits reported on the website. 

As usual results will be updated here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out Betting Mastermind (Football) for yourself here.

 

 

 

The Away Days – Final Update

The Away Days – Results Update

Not a great deal of change for footy tipster The Away Days, with 2 points lost at advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 10 points up for our trial overall.  

You can view full results here. 

Just a reminder this is a tipster that bets on away teams to win where they see value and the odds are ideally greater than evens (but not always). 

It’s been solid rather than spectacular so far but a profit is a profit so is not to be sniffed at.

Just a reminder this is a tipster that bets on away teams to win where they see value and the odds are ideally greater than evens (but not always). 

It’s pretty simple to follow with just a couple of bets per day on average (although more on weekends), so lots to like about this service so far.

The Away Days – New Review

3rd January 2023

Today we are starting a new review of a footy betting service called The Away Days. 

This is a service from the Tipstrr platform of tipsters and is relatively new on the block but has an interesting approach that offers some promise. 

The tips come from a chap called Rob, who says his strategy involves “Betting on away teams to win where I see value and the odds are ideally greater than evens but not always.”

He says he mainly take the bets at the Betfair Exchange although he occasionally uses a bookie. 

As we say the results so far look promising with an average profit of £183 per month at a return on investment of over 10%. 

The strike rate is good too at 43% meaning a fairly high proportion of winning bets. 

Although it’s still early days with this service we are intrigued by the approach of taking away sides when they are favourites, as it’s a trend we’ve noticed ourselves so will be interesting to see if turns out to be profitable. 

It’s a relatively low volume service with as there won’t be bets every day, but enough action to keep things ticking over at least. 

So without further ado we’ll get our first review of 2023 underway with this footy service and will report back soon on how they are getting on.

In the meantime you can check out The Away Days for yourself here. 

 

 

 

+EV Football – Final Update

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just a quick note to say that unfortunately this service has been discontinued. 

The results were promising initially and we liked the concept of it – plus the service comes from the trusted Bookie Insiders team who we have a lot of respect for. 

Sadly though things went a little skewiff for them and they tried changing the strategy to in effect doing the opposite of what they had been doing – but that didn’t quite work either. So they were rather going round in circles. 

In the end it may be a case of going back to the drawing board and starting afresh with something new, but for now this service has been stopped so we will be concluding our review here.

 

 

 

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

+EV Football – Results Update

25th April 2022

Things have turned around nicely for +EV Football in recent times, with a profit of 31 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 2 points up to advised prices for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

We are also tracking results by the best closing price (or “CBP”- i.e. just before kick-off) and that continues to perform notably better, with 30 points won since our last update, putting them 15 points up for our trial overall at CBP.

There has been a significant change to the system to our last update. Essentially they concluded that the previous strategy was only performing pretty close to expectation, with 418 winners having been produced this season against an expectation of 414.

The idea behind the strategy was to find selections where the model indicated higher odds than the market, therefore supposedly providing value. However, that approach did not work.

So they are taking a different approach and actually following what the market is telling them. This “contrarian” betting strategy has been performing very well so far since it started on 13th May, with over 30 points profit made.

It’s early days but is encouraging so will be interesting to follow and see if it can prove profitable in the long run.  

 

 

 

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

+EV Football – Results Update

25th April 2022

It continues to be something of a struggle for +EV Football unfortunately, with a loss of 14 points made to advised prices since our last update.

That means they are now 29 points down to advised prices for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

We are also tracking results by the best closing price (or “CBP”- i.e. just before kick-off) and that continues to perform slightly better, with 8 points lost since our last update and 15 points lost for our trial overall.

Just a reminder that this is an Asian handicap betting strategy with a very high volume of bets. As they say though, it is okay to miss some bets as overall the EV (expected value) should even out over time.

Hopefully results pick up for them but they have warned that running all these models for various leagues requires alot of time and if they have very few members left then the effort required doesn’t match up to the return.

We are also tracking results by the best closing price (i.e. just before kick-off) and that is doing slightly better, with just 7 points lost so far.

Just a reminder that this is an Asian handicap betting strategy with a very high volume of bets. There have been over 380 bets for our trial already! As they say though, it is okay to miss some bets as overall the EV (expected value) should even out over time.

Anyway, a bit of a slow start for this one but let’s see if they can get things back on track by the time of our next update.

+EV Football – New Review

8th February 2022

We are starting a new review today of a service called EV Football.

This comes from the Bookie Insiders tipping team, who regular followers may recognise. We have trialled two of their services – their Football and Golf tips – and both have passed our trials with flying colours. The football service made £2053 profit during our trial and the golf service made 438 points profit, or £4380 profit to £10 per point stakes during our trial. 

So we were pleased to hear they were launching a new service and have been eager to test it out.

Essentially this is a data-driven model based around goal ratings and expected goals (xG), which are used to create a goal supremacy for each match.

Using their own team and league-specific data they then estimate what the odds should be for a game. If the odds represent value on this model then it becomes a bet.

It only started up a few months ago, but the results so far look promising with 30 points profit made to advised prices and 43 points profit made to best closing price.

That has come with a high strike rate of 59% and a return on investment of around 5%.

Bets come from across the European leagues and are all Asian handicap bets. The nice thing about these kind of bets is there is normally very good liquidity with lots of bookie options and exchanges can be used as well.

There is a high volume of bets so that is something to be aware of, although they say “don’t worry about missing bets because over a large dataset/timeframe each members ROI% will be more or less the same. As an example say one member backed all 3000 bets over a 12 month period and another member only backed 1500 bets I would expect the ROI% for both members to be similar enough (barring some crazy variance in the missed bets).”

That makes sense to us and is a point we have made in other settings before.

Anyway, without further ado let’s get cracking with this trial and see how it gets on. We started proofing bets from 30th January so will record results from then and will update things as we go along here.

In the meantime you can check out EV Football for yourself here.

CH Footy Tips – Final Review

We have reached the end of our seven month trial of CH Footy Tips and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:  -109 point loss
Strike Rate:   28%
Bank Growth:   -100%
ROI:   -18%
Average number of bets:   2-3 bets per day
Cost:   N/A
VERDICT:   FAILED
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

CH Footy Tips – Full Review

 

CH Footy Tips is a football tipster from the Betting Gods tipster platform. The tips are provided by a guy called Chad from Atlanta in the US.

Most of his bets are handicap bets, involving using the -1.5 handicap line (so sides that are strongly fancied) and then putting the bets into singles and doubles. 

We followed the service for seven months, which gave us a good sample size of over 500 bets.

Sadly though the trial did not go as hoped and in the end it finished 109 points down, more than wiping out the recommended betting bank of 75 points. Even extending the bank to 100 points would not have avoided a wipeout.

Midway through the trial the service was removed from the Betting Gods website and the service was closed to new members, with just existing members receiving the tips.

We would imagine there aren’t many existing members still following the tips though given the results.

So it’s probably no surprise to learn that it’s a FAILED rating from us for CH Footy Tips unfortunately.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The tips are sent out by e-mail at various times of day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon UK time.

Availability of prices: Prices are generally available and we didn’t see any problems obtaining the recommended odds.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 28%, which is clearly quite a bit below where it needed to be to make a profit.

Advised Betting Bank: A 75 point betting bank was recommended for the service but that was completely wiped out and even expanding that to a more standard 100 point bank would not have been enough to stave off a bank wipeout.

Subscription costs: The service is not currently available to new members.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED

After losing 109 points in our trial and blowing the entire recommended starting bank, unfortunately there can only be one outcome for CH Footy Tips and that is a FAILED rating.

CH Footy Tips – Results Update

22nd December 2021

Not much cheer to report for football tipster CH Footy Tips unfortunately, with a loss of 8 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 73 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

As mentioned last time, CH Footy Tips has been removed from the Betting Gods website for the moment as the service is closed to new members for the time being. 

We will continue the review for the time being and see if results pick up, but unfortunately it does look like this service is heading for a failed rating unless there’s a dramatic turnaround.

It continues to be a tough time for Football tipster CH Footy Tips sadly, with a loss of 21 points made since our last update.

It’s getting towards having lost the full advised betting bank of 75 points so needs a big turnaround in form soon.

Football tipster CH Footy Tips is yet to hit their stride in our trial, with a loss of 16 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 34 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder that this is a service that focuses on the -1.5 Asian handicap market and bets in singles and doubles. 

With the football season fully underway now across Europe hopefully we’ll see their form pick up and they can get moving the right direction.

CH Footy Tips – Results Update

16th July 2021

It’s not been a great start to our trial of CH Footy Tips, with a loss of 18 points made so far. 

You can view full results here.

This is a service that focuses on the -1.5 Asian handicap market and bets in singles and doubles. 

We haven’t noticed any problems with odds availability so far and in fact you can normally back the bets on Betfair and sometimes beat the advised odds. 

Today seems to be a strong example of that, with the advised odds of one of the tips being 3.4 but over 4.1 available on Betfair currently. 

So from that point of view it all seems good but obviously need the results to pick up as soon as possible.

CH Footy Tips – New Review

18th June 2021

Today we are starting a new review of a football tipster called CH Footy Tips from the Betting Gods tipster platform. 

The tips are provided by a guy called Chad who is  a professional football gambler from Atlanta in the US. Although he is from America, having grown up around Europe his betting is mostly centred on UK and European leagues.

Most of his bets are handicap bets, involving using the -1.5 handicap line (so sides that are strongly fancied) and then putting the bets into singles and doubles. 

It’s an approach that’s worked well for Chad so far, with a profit of 170 points made since joining the Betting Gods platform in December 2020. 

The strike rate is good at a shade over 36% whilst the return on investment is solid at 8%. 

We tend to like tipsters who stick to a systematic approach and have a niche angle, which this tipster seems to do with their focus on the handicap markets, so we are interested in seeing what kind of results they can produce under a live trial.

We will kick things off today then and post results updates here as we go along.

In the meantime you can check out CH Footy Tips here.

Goal King – Full Review

 

The Goal King is a football tipping service run by a guy called Steve Hudson. He has been a professional tipster for 6 years and has been betting for 13 years. He also runs another tipping service, AccaTipster, which has been going for a few years.

The Goal King focuses on the Both Teams to Score (BTS) and Over 2.5 goals markets, with some bets in the Asian handicap market too. 

We followed the service for an extended 12 month trial, which gave us a good sample size of 388 bets.

It’s a fairly straightforward service, with bets normally sent out twice per week by e-mail – one for the midweek fixtures and then one for the weekend games.

At the end of our trial they finished with a solid total of 43 points profit, which came at a strike rate of 59% and a return on investment of 3%.

The trial got off to a slightly rocky start but gradually improved as it went on, as you can see in the profit graph:

One of the elements of the service we remarked on a few times during our review was the staking, which started off at 5 points per bet, then reduced to 1 point over the Summer before settling at 2.5 points per bet for the 2021/22 season.

We prefer services that just use one point level stakes, or at least if they are going to use larger stakes then it would be for more confident selections. Here though it just seemed to be a way of slightly inflating results, as all selections over a given period used the same staking.

Not that it makes too much of a difference in the grand scheme of things – that is why we have stats like ROI so you can see how the returns compare to the stakes used.

And in the end a solid profit was made which is never to be sniffed at, so we are happy to award this service a narrow PASSED rating after a 12 month trial. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The tips are sent by e-mail, usually twice per week (if there are midweek fixtures). There is usually plenty of time to get the bets on and recommended bookies are included with the best prices.

Availability of prices: We didn’t notice any particular issues in terms of the prices, with the markets tipped in (BTS & over/under 2.5 goals) being very liquid normally.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 59%, which is close to the long-term average of 61% and meant a steady stream of winners throughout the trial.

Advised Betting Bank: We didn’t see any bank being advised but used a 100 point betting bank for the trial taking into account the staking per bet and high strike rate of 59%.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are very reasonable at £14.95 per month or £67 per year.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

The Goal King is a football tipster who focuses on the Both Teams to Score and over/under 2.5 goals markets.

We ran an extended 12 month trial of the service and it made a solid 43 points profit. Whilst that wasn’t a huge return in the grand scheme of things, any form of profit is not to be sniffed at so we are happy to award the service a narrow PASSED rating.

Goal King – Results Update

14th November 2021

Football tipster the Goal King has bounced back nicely over the last month, with 11 points profit made since our last update.

That means they are now 44 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

There have been a lot of BTS (both teams to score) bets lately, which along with over/under bets are the mainstay of the service.

With international matches there are a lot of low-scoring games so going low on those has tended to pay off well for the Goal King.

Goal King – Results Update

13th October 2021

There’s been a slight downturn for football tipster the Goal King over the last month, with 25 points lost since our last update.

That means they are now 33 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

We have discussed in previous updates how staking has varied over the course of our trial, but it seems to have settled at 2.5 points per bet for the time being, having been 5 points at the start and then dropping to 1 point over the summer.

Anyway, let’s see if they get back to winning ways by the time of our next update.

Goal King – Results Update

10th September 2021

The solid form has continued for football tipster the Goal King over the last month, with an additional 12 points profit made since our last update.

That means they are now 58 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

The staking has varied quite a bit recently. It had been five points per bet for most of our trial, then dropped down to one point during the off-season and is now at 2.5 points per bet, presumably as we are in the early part of the season whilst they wait for the form to settle down.

In any event it has been good to see the steady upward progress made over the last few months by this footy tipster.

Goal King – Results Update

12th August 2021

Football tipster the Goal King has continued their good form recently, adding another 14 points profit since our last update.

That means they are now 46 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

As previously mentioned, the staking is inflated at 5 points on most selections, so in reality the returns would be quite a bit lower if using 1 point level stakes. Although during the off season they were using just 1 point stakes and made a decent 11 points profit whilst doing so.  Now the season is getting going again they are back to using 5 points once more. 

The action should really crank up now with the all the European leagues kicking off again, including the Premier League tomorrow.

Goal King – Results Update

9th July 2021

It’s been a good run for football tipster the Goal King recently, with 24 points profit made since our last update.

That means they are now 32 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

As mentioned previously, the staking is inflated at 5 points on every selection, so in reality they would be just 6-8 points up at one point level stakes.

However, since the end of the main season they have reduced staking to one point per bet and since then they are 3 points up. 

Will probably be a bit of a quiet phase for them now as the Euros come to an end and we wait for the start of the new season.

Not much change for football tipster the Goal King recently, with just 3 points profit made since our last update a month ago.

That means they are now 8 points up for our trial overall.

With the footy season finishing in a couple of weeks we will look to wrap up our review there when the action has come to a close. Let’s see if they can put in a good end to the trial and finish in the green.

Goal King – Results Update

15th April 2021

There has been something of a step backwards for football tipster the Goal King lately, with a loss of 22 points made since our last update.

That means they are now just 5 points up for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

As mentioned last time, the staking is inflated at 5 points on every selection, so in reality they would be just 1 point up at one point level stakes.

This trial has struggled to get going really, but we will continue to track it to the end of the season to see if it can finish off in style at least.

Goal King – Results Update

13th March 2021

It’s been a good turnaround for footy tipster the Goal King, with a profit of 56 points made since our last update a month ago. 

That means they are now 27 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

As mentioned last time, the staking is inflated at 5 points on every selection, so in reality they would be just over 5 points up at one point level stakes.

Still, it’s been good to witness the fightback here to get themselves into the green so let’s see if that continues.

Goal King – Results Update

12th February 2021

More losses unfortunately for the Goal King in recent times, with another 21 points dropped since our last update at the end of December.

That means they are now 29 points down for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

As mentioned last time, the staking is inflated at 5 points on every selection. This is actually doing them a disservice at the moment, as at 1 point stakes they would only be 6 points down, which isn’t too bad in the grand scheme of things. 

Hopefully this will be a lesson to this and other services that unnecessarily inflate their staking to make their results look better that it can also go the other way and make your results look worse. Stick to one point staking and everyone is happy.

Goal King – Results Update

31st December 2020

It’s been a little bit of a disappointing start to our trial of the Goal King, with a loss of 8 points made so far since they went live.

You can view full results here.

There are a few things that have given us concerns about this service.

Firstly, there have been quite a few instances of the website not working and we know a number of you have found this issue as well, with just a blank screen appearing and nothing happening. Sometimes it can be worth trying it in a different browser if you are getting this issue.

Secondly, the headline on the website states: “Football expert reveals secret goal betting system that makes £24,367 in 7 months,” but we are yet to have any “secret system” revealed to us. So far it’s just a straightforward tipster service offering tips on the BTS, over/under and Asian handicap markets.

And thirdly they stake 5 points on every selection. This is a real bugbear of ours when tipsters do this as it just looks like they are trying to inflate their results. Why not just stake 1 point on every selection? Essentially you need to divide the total by five to give a proper reflection of their results.

Anyway, these niggles of ours could recede somewhat if results were to improve so let’s see if that happens over the next month or two.

Goal King – New Review

4th December 2020

Today we are starting a new review of a football betting strategy called the Goal King.

It has been designed by a guy called Steve Hudson who claims to have made £20,337 profit from it in 7 months, with a 64% win rate and 19.04% ROI.

Every month has apparently been profitable with the longest losing run being just 5 bets. And you can start with just £10.

We will be running a live trial of Goal King at Honest Betting Reviews and are quite intrigued by this one. It claims to have found a “secret goal betting system” which sounds interesting.

As ever the proof of the pudding will be in the eating though!

If you want to check it out in the meantime however you can do so here whilst they currently have a 63% discount on membership.

This offer will close at midnight (GMT) tomorrow 5th December.
