As February exits behind us in the rear-view mirror it is time to take a look at our “Tipster of the Month” award here at Honest Betting Reviews. 

This is where we look at the top tipsters – both those we have reviewed in the past and those we are currently reviewing – to see who has performed most strongly over the last month. 

It’s a chance to find out who is in form and has been giving the bookies a good hiding over the last month and to note any stand-out performances.

This encompasses all sports and disciplines so the competition is fierce. Only the best-performing tipsters stand a chance!

 

Tipster of the Month – February 

February is an interesting month from a betting point of view. In horse racing terms, it can be tricky with bad weather interrupting the schedule and many horses being prepared for Cheltenham as more of a warm-up than anything else. 

Thankfully there were some tipsters who still managed to thrive in February and produce excellent profits for their members. 

In football terms, February was a busy month with the Champions League and Europa League returning and races for the title across the European leagues hotting up. 

In the golfing world, Jon Rahm returned to world number one after some sterling recent displays.

Anyway, let’s take a look at the top three tipsters for the month of February:

 

 

3. Bets for Today VIP Tips

In third spot for February is a service we are currently reviewing and who is smashing it out of the park, making over £2,000 profit (or 100 points at £20 per point stakes) for our trial so far and that is Bets for Today VIP Tips. 

This is a tipster who provides tips for both football and horse racing and uses a range of bets from singles to doubles, trebles, lucky 15s and more. 

They have made a profit in each of the eight strategies they use, which is no mean feat. 

February was a strong month for them with 24 points profit made, including some bumper profits on their horse racing systems. Their odds boosts also performed exceptionally well, landing £334 profit to £20 stakes in February. 

A fine effort then in February from this multi-sport tipster.

2. Premier Greyhound Tips

In second place we have long-running tipster Premier Greyhound Tips, who we originally reviewed way back in 2016. They have been one of the most consistent performers of all tipsters over the last half-dozen years or so, with a total profit of 1248 points made since starting up in 2014.  

February was yet another strong month for them, with a profit of 35 points made to advised prices. That would be £875 profit at £25 per point stakes.  

There were regular winners throughout the month, including a strong 4pt win bet on Alright Gorgeous at 7/2 yesterday to round off the month in style. 

A fine effort in February then from one of the most successful and long-running tipsters around.

1. The Bookies Enemy

Taking the spoils as Tipster of the Month for February is a service that passed a review here at HBR back in 2018 and has absolutely been on fire lately and that is horse racing tipster The Bookies Enemy.   

With an astonishing 314 points profit made since August and seven profitable months in a row, this tipster has certainly been living up to their name and giving the bookies a real headache! 

February was no exception either with another 37 points profit made for the month, which would be £925 profit at £25 per point stakes.

That included winners at 20/1, 16/1 & 7/1 and many more at a range of prices that kept the profits rolling in throughout February.  

A very fine effort then that continued The Bookies Enemy’s exceptional run of form and added yet more gold to the pockets of members.

Roulette is one of the easiest games to get a handle on when it comes to casino games. When it comes to simple rules, there’s almost none simpler than ‘pick an option and hope the ball lands on it’ and it’s this simplicity that has made roulette one of the most popular games in casinos.

If you’re wanting to get started with playing online roulette for real money or even play in land-based casinos, we’ve written this easy-to-follow guide to getting you started. 

Why Play Roulette?

Roulette has some great perks of choosing to play it over other games. Some of them include:

Incredibly easy to learn

The huge casino brand Caesars Palace has gone on record saying that it only takes around 4 short minutes to get to grips with roulette. It’s that easy! You simply have to learn the really easy betting rules and you’re done. There are no complicated mechanics or hand rankings to learn. This makes it a great choice to play if you want a more relaxing session.

Huge range of bets

Whilst it’s simple to learn, don’t think for a second that there isn’t much variety in bets – there are absolutely loads of them. You can choose to keep things rather simple, simply betting on either red or black. You can pick a selection of numbers. Or you can pick anything in between. 

The different selections have different payouts, meaning you have control over how risky you want to be as well.

Jump in, jump out

Each round of roulette is very short, lasting a minute or two. This allows players to just jump in or out as they see fit. These short rounds make it perfect as an online casino game to play on the go or when you’re strapped for time and just want a really quick gaming session.

How to Play

Any roulette table in the world will have the same things. A spinning wheel with a range of colours and numbers, a small ball and a betting choice. 

Each round of betting will begin with each player placing their bets on whatever selection they want. The dealer will then call time and begin the roulette wheel spinning, whilst spinning the ball around the edge of the wheel in the opposite direction. Depending on where the ball lands will decide whether you win the bet.

You don’t have to guess exactly what number the ball will land on. You can place bets on the characteristics of the number that the ball will land on – odds or even, red or black and even groups of numbers such as 1-18 or 19-36. The odds on these selections will be lower, but you’re more likely to win.

Different types of bets

Here are the major bets you’ll find in roulette:

Individual number of bets

As the name implies, these are bets on the actual number the ball will land on. If you bet on the number 23, you only win if the ball lands in number 23. The odds are the best you’re going to get, so if you manage to land the right number you could be in for a big win.

Number groups

You can also bet on a whole group of numbers, These bets can range in a tight group such as 3 and 4, or a wider range such as half the wheel (19-36). Obviously, the wider you go in your group bet, the lower the odds get since you have more chance of winning.

Characteristics

A very common bet – but also the one with the lowest odds – is a characteristic bet. It’s a good choice for beginners who just want to get the hang of roulette.

With these bets, you simply choose whether the ball will land on a black or red number, or even/odd. These bets pay even money and there are a few roulette strategies based around them.

Conclusion

Now you’ve got the grips of the games, if it sounds like something you might enjoy, it may be worth trying out some demo mode games or just watching some people play. You’ll quickly get a grasp of things and who knows, you may be a virtuoso!

 

 

 

 

So we come to the end of our awards for this year, as voted for by you, the members of Honest Betting Reviews. There is just one award left to hand out – that of Best Overall Betting Service 2022.

Before we get onto that though, we just want to say it was great to see so much interest this year, with a huge number of people voting in the awards. 

We feel these awards are a good opportunity to mark out those services that have performed particularly well, introduced some new innovations and most importantly, hopefully made us all some extra income over the last year. 

In summary then, the winners we have had so far are:-

• Best Football Service: Goal Profits
• Best Horse Racing Service: Little Acorns
  
• Best (other) Sports Service: Tennis Profits
• Best Matched Betting Service: Outplayed (formerly Profit Accumulator)

Well done to all of those services on their awards. 

Anyway, now it is time to move on to the final award of Best Overall Betting Service.

Best Overall Betting Service 2022

So this award is for the best overall service across all categories,  whether that be matched betting, tipsters or trading services and in any sport.

It’s obviously the toughest award to win and the most sought after. 

This year there was a runaway winner of the award, notching up more votes than all the other services put together! 

We will also give honourable mentions to those who drew some support in the voting, including Predictology, Race Advisor and the Goal King. 

This year’s resounding winner however was…

 

Goal Profits!

Yes, yet again this hugely popular football trading service has blown away the competition and picked up yet another award. That’s the third year in a row they have won best overall betting service and best football service.

Congratulations to the whole GP team on well-deserved recognition for all the hard work they’ve put in over the years.

Here is what Steve from Goal Profits had to say on receiving news of the award:

“Thanks, Dan, and to all your members who continue to vote for Goal Profits!

Ahead of the World Cup, my main focus was to help more new traders find success.

During the summer, I completely updated our Launchpad football trading courses. Everyone who starts our £1 trial membership gets full access to our first four courses; a total of 62 lessons. Then, as soon as they become a full member, they can access our ‘Advanced Trade Selection’ and ‘Advanced Strategies’ courses as well (another 42 lessons).

It takes some time to work through all those courses, so I also doubled our £1 trial to 14 days. This ensures that new members have plenty of time to have a good look around, get used to our research and trading tools, ask plenty of questions and have a few trades.

Full membership costs as little as £1 per day, so very affordable for everyone (even in these rough economic times).

I firmly believe that EVERYONE can find the trading success they want. Yes, it takes a bit of effort and it won’t happen overnight, but it can be done. We’re hearing more success stories from members than ever before in our 12 years as a community. It’s fantastic!

Again, thank you to everyone who voted for Goal Profits this year. We really appreciate your support.”

So well done again to Steve and his team and that wraps up our Members Choice Awards for this year.

Thanks to everyone who took part and has enjoyed Honest Betting Reviews over the last year. We really do appreciate your feedback, input and suggestions and we are looking forward to introducing some new developments to you in the coming months. 

All that’s left to say is that you can get a 14 day trial of Goal Profits for £1 here if you want to join the throng of happy members!
