Firstly a Happy New Year to you and here’s hoping you have a happy, healthy and profitable 2023. 

Next up in our series of Members’ Choice Awards is the accolade of Best (Other) Sports Service 2022. 

This is the turn of those services that either focus on sports other than the “big two” of horse racing and football, or combine a range of sports into one service.

This can include anything from golf to tennis, cricket, NFL, darts and more. So it is quite a wide playing field and this was a competitive category. 

It is often in these more niche services that you find the best value however, so it is a category to keep an eye on.  

But without further ado, let’s have a look at the results. 

In third place was the Golf Insider which is a service that has made over 2,000 points profit in total and remains a popular choice among our members. 

In second place was the excellent Trade On Sports, a personal favourite of ours and one that continues to innovate and produce new betting strategies across a range of sports. It won this award last year but just misses out this time, grabbing a very respectable runners-up spot instead. 

Now we move on to the winner of the award.

 

Best (Other) Sports Service 2022

This year’s winner is a new kid on the block that has burst onto the scene recently and caused quite a stir.

Yes the winner of the award of Best (Other) Sports Service is…

 

Tennis Profits!

This a tennis trading service that comes from the very successful Goal Profits team, but incorporates professional trader Paul Shires of the long-running Trade Shark Tennis into the mix.

The service includes a range of features such as match stats, live chat and even a watch-along option where you can see Paul trade a match live in-play, which is a great way to learn. 

Even though Tennis Profits only arrived on the scene a few months ago it is already proving incredibly popular and it is no surprise it has won this award.   

So to recap then, here are the final results for the award of Best Sports Service 2022:-

1. Tennis Profits
2. Trade on Sports
   
3. Golf Insider
   

So congratulations to the whole team at Tennis Profits on the win.

Here is what Paul Shires from Tennis Profits had to say on receiving news of the award:

“That’s great news! It is always a good feeling when the effort that goes into running a service is recognised and your members have seen that in Tennis Profits. We still have an ever growing list of features that we are keen to add to the site. Things so often take longer than you anticipate, but we are looking forward to improving further the tools that we provide for tennis traders.

A huge “Thank you” to Honest Betting Reviews and to all your members.”

Well done again to Paul and his team and that wraps up this year’s award for Best (Other) Sports Service 2022. 

We’ll be back soon though with the next award in our series, Best Matched Betting Service 2022.

In the meantime you can get a 7-day trial of Tennis Profits for just £1 here. 

 

 

 

 

We hope you had a good Christmas and have recovered from all the festivities.

As this year draws to a close, we have been running a contest to choose the best betting services of 2022, as voted for by you in our Members’ Choice Awards 2022.

The voting closed on Christmas Eve and we would like to say thank you to everyone who voted. We had a huge number of participants which is much appreciated.

It’s good to be able to recognise those services that have performed well this year and hopefully helped us make a profit.

The votes have now been counted and we are pleased to announce the first award in our series – for the Best Horse Racing Service (tipster or betting system) of the year.

Best Horse Racing Service 2022

How did it all pan out then once all the votes were counted?

This is perhaps the premiere category, with the most services in our Winning Systems list coming from the sport of kings.

So as expected it was a very competitive category this year and the results were very tight. There were a number of hot contenders who had their fair share of support.

Onto the results then. 

In third place in the contest for Best Horse Racing Service 2022 was the excellent Hanbury Racing. It’s a service we reviewed last year and it made an impressive 238 points profit.  It has a penchant for big-priced winners, with another 500 points profit added this year.

Taking the runner-up spot was the venerable Quentin Franks who has been a regular feature in these awards over the years and added yet another profitable year in 2022. 

On to the winner then and the service taking the accolade this time has also been a regular in these awards over the years, taking the title in 2020 after some near misses in previous years.

After missing out last time, this year it bounced back to reclaim its crown and grab the top spot again.

Yes the winner of the Best Horse Racing Service 2022 was…

Little Acorns!

This is one the longest-running horse racing services out there, having been originally released way back in 2009.

It’s a low-liability laying system that follows a clear set of rules and has been delivering profits every year for over a decade now. We conducted our own review of the service back in 2017 and it came through with flying colours. 

It’s impressive to have stood the test of time in the way Little Acorns has and testament to its popularity that it has won this award for a second time. 

Here are the final rankings then for Best Horse Racing Service 2022:

1. Little Acorns
2. Quentin Franks Racing
3. Hanbury Racing

So the spoils go to Little Acorns and here is what Andrew David, who designed the system, had to say on receiving news of the award:

“A big thanks Dan to all your sharp readers on the award for Little Acorns! I am overjoyed many are getting some great use and profits out of it, and if I could thank every one of them individually I would.

I’m happy that many punters are now becoming more realistic in their expectations on the gains to be made from gambling, and with the help of quality sites such as yours, are now turning their attention to low risk based systems and services that can offer the patient follower some very worthwhile gains over the long term.

The focus when developing Little Acorns was primarily centred around the end user. In my experience, punters hate losing and dread long losing runs that can see most out of the game before they can reap the rewards of the upturn. Therefore, with Little Acorns I’ve included a few staking options that would suit everyone’s attitude to risk. Some are more progressive than others, but either way you will get the edge as Little Acorns simply exploits the unreliability of horse racing, to lead the end user to a profitable conclusion overall. It also provides a great platform for buyers to further tweak if they so wish in the whole arena of low-risk betting.

Little Acorns was born out of my extreme dislike of the highs and lows that come with most forms of betting and if you feel the same then you’re on my wavelength.

Finally, the beauty of Little Acorns is that it operates in an arena where liquidity is never an issue, ensuring that everyone can profit to more or less the same level.

Thanks again to all your readers and I hope to share more ideas going forward.”

So that wraps up the award and well done again to Andrew and his Little Acorns system. We’ll be back soon with the next award in the series.

The lottery is not difficult, and the random number selection is not the most entertaining thing we can do. Nonetheless, we play it because we want to win! This is why we will answer the most important question in lottery history – which lottery has the highest chance of winning?

We’ve been hearing a lot lately about record jackpots and big jackpots. These are huge amounts of money with equally large odds. It’s a great prospect to be able to spend just a few quid for, the chance of winning a decent amount of money. However, the odds play a huge role in winning.

So, remember that all lotteries can be won in different ways. In addition, there are vast differences in how much you can win and how hard or easy it is to win.

The best lottery odds

It’s the Polish Mini Lotto. What were you expecting? Some huge international Lottery? Well it’s not.

The odds of winning a lotto jackpot are higher than those of larger lotteries, which can reach hundreds of millions. However, the odds of winning a Polish Mini Lotto jackpot are 850668:1. It also has comparatively low jackpots that are also measured in thousands. Therefore, it’s also known as the Mini lottery. It is only 50c per bet for a chance to win the minimum jackpot of EUR 70,000. The generous odds mean that each month there are around 30 winners of the jackpot!

If you were wondering about the Ireland’s Lotto, we have some stats for you. According to the Irish Lotto odds tables, the jackpot odds for the Irish Lottery are approximately 1 in 10.7 million.

Here is a table comparing the top six most popular lotteries:

 

Top 5 Easiest Lotteries to Win

Lottery Name	Jackpot Odds	Max Jackpot
Polish Mini Lotto	1:850,668	€82,000
Swedish Lotto	1:6,724,520	€25.6 million
Austrian Lotto	1:8,145,060	€9.6 million
Oz Mon/Wed Lotto	1:8,145,060	€1 million
Irish Lotto	1:10,737,573	€18.8 million

 

The easiest lottery by prize

Chances of receiving any prize for five lotteries are:

• 1 in 6 for French Lotto
• 1 in 10 for Spanish Lotto
• 1 in 9.3 for UK Lotto
• 1 in 12 for Austrian Lotto
• 1 in 13 for EuroMillions

The easiest lottery in general

The Swedish Lotto is also a great all-rounder lottery. The reason is obvious. As explained before, for a very small ticket price, players get a chance to get a multimillion jackpot.

UK LOTTO Vs. EUROMILLIONS

Both the UK Lotto, as well as EuroMillions are extremely popular lottery options. The EuroMillions top prize is EUR190 million. There have been many cases in which players have won huge jackpots. Camelot’s UK Lotto has been a popular lotto game since 1994, making millions of winners throughout the years. But, as you can see, there is more to winning than just the jackpots. This is a breakdown of the odds of each prize tier of both lotteries.

The tables below show you the chances of winning each prize tier offered by Euromillions and UK Lotto:

 

Chances of Winning UK Lotto Prize

Prize Tier	Odds
Match 6 numbers	1 in 45 million
Match 5 numbers + bonus ball	1 in 7,5 million
Match 5 numbers	1 in 144,415
Match 4 numbers	1 in 2,180

South Africa Lotto: A lottery that is gaining popularity worldwide  

South Africa’s lotteries are more interesting than some international ones. Powerball and South Africa Lotto both increase their jackpots each week. Players around the world believe it is worth it because of its amazing odds. These tickets have made many lucky winners.

Players’ chances increased even further

Many players increase their chances of winning by entering more often. A double entry will halve the odds of winning in two. Every player who does gets two chances of winning instead of one.

You must understand that this does not imply that all players should buy many tickets or enter the lottery more often. We are just stating that most lottery winners enter many times to finally get a prize. However, we must recognize that many lottery players win on their first try.

Also, be sure to check out any extra games. Although they don’t offer big prizes, many players find them more interesting.
