Winning Tipsters

/0 Comments/in /by

There are literally thousands of tipsters online these days, offering betting tips through websites, Facebook, Twitter and all manner of other mediums. 

Normally tipsters will boast of great results and that they make masses of profit, but very few will actually be able to deliver those kinds of results after you sign up. 

That is why we run this website and put tipsters and betting systems to the test under a live trial, recording their full results exactly as the tips are given out. 

After running hundreds of these trials for over five years now, we have found a small number of winning tipsters who have actually been able to deliver consistent profits over the long term. 

These tipsters cover a range of different sports and have a variety of approaches, but they have one thing in common: they have all managed to hit the bookies where it hurts and provide winner after winner for their members. Let’s take a look at some of these tipsters below.

 

Our Top Winning Tipsters

OK let’s have a look at the best tipsters we have come across in over five years of searching the internet far and wide and putting hundreds of services through their paces:-

 

          1. Racing Intelligence

If you are looking for consistency then there are few better tipsters than Racing Intelligence. This is a service that has produced over 900 points profit since starting tipping in June 2017. That would be over £18,000 profit to £20 stakes, a very nice return indeed. During our six month live trial it produced a superb 192 points profit at a return on investment of 19%. 

One of the main attractions of the service is that it has a very good strike rate of over 40% (including each-way horses), meaning that it achieves returns on a regular basis and the losing runs so far have been minimal. This is reflected in the monthly totals, with 75% of the months so far having been profitable. 

The other great thing about Racing Intelligence is that it has been profitable at Betfair SP as well, so even if you have lost your bookie accounts the service could still be viable for you. At Betfair SP the total profits stand at over 430 points profit if backing win and place or 620 points profit if backing win only at BSP. 

All in all then you couldn’t ask for much more from a tipster than what Racing Intelligence has produced. 

 

            2. Quentin Franks Racing

 

One of the true giants of the tipping world is none other than Mr Quentin Franks, a service we have been proofing for nearly five years now. His total profits since starting tipping in 2014 stand at a colossal £14,000 profit to £10 stakes. That has been achieved with a very commendable return on investment (ROI) of 18%, which is an excellent level to have maintained over the course of such a long period. 

We were fortunate enough to meet the man himself at the races a couple of years ago and he is a very humble guy considering his tremendous success, but you could also tell he knows his racing inside out. That, plus an awful lot of hard work has allowed Quentin to achieve the results he has and provide very substantial returns for his members. In fact, his original betting bank of 200 points has now increased by over 700%, which is pretty phenomenal. 

He also has achieved a strong level of consistency much like Racing Intelligence, with 75% of months so far having been profitable. There aren’t many more superlatives we can use to describe Mr Franks so we would just say if you aren’t already a member, we strongly suggest you sign up today. 

 

           3. JK Diego’s Draw Betting System

Next up in our list of winning tipsters is a football tipster and one who has made his fortune betting not on teams to win, but rather for games to finish in a draw – JK Diego’s Draw Betting System.

This is an unusual approach but has proved highly effective, netting over $4,300 profit during our six month trial of his service. Since that review ended, Mr Diego has continued to stack up the profits, adding an additional $7,000 profit. Those results are to flat staking (i.e. $100), which is our preferred option but there is a more risky loss-recovery method you can choose if you wish. Overall Diego’s tips have netted him over $100,000 from backing on the draw, which is a quite amazing feat.

The theory behind the method is that most punters prefer to bet on one team or the other to win a match, meaning there is often value in backing the draw as it is under-bet. The results clearly show that the strategy has an edge, which is very rare in football betting. There are actually eight different factors Diego looks at when analysing matches to decide if they qualify as a draw bet. 

The subscription costs are high in order to keep membership numbers down and protect prices, so this service is for high rollers only but if you have the betting bank to make it worthwhile, JK Diego is surely the number one footy tipster. 

 

           4. Russell Blair Racing

Next up on our list is the venerable Russell Blair Racing from the Sports Betting Stars platform. Russell has been tipping since 2015 and in that time has amassed over 2,000 points profit at a very impressive return on investment (ROI) of 31%. 

That would equate to over £50,000 profit to £25 stakes and makes him one of the very few tipsters out there to pass the 2,000 point margin. Looking at it another way, the average profit per month to just £10 stakes stands at £340 per month. 

We have undertaken two separate trials of Russell’s service, the first one in 2016 which made 214 points profit and the second one in 2019 which made 305 points profit. On both occasions a good profit was also made at Betfair SP. 

Russell has been known to land some very impressive accas as well, including a fourfold at odds of 180,000/1! That included two selections at 33/1 and even just backing that day’s tips as singles would have netted 170 points profit. 

This is a service for serious, long-term minded punters as it can be a little volatile but the overall results are outstanding and Russell Blair is right up there with the very best in the industry. 

 

           5. Bet Alchemist

The final entry in our list of winning tipsters is the renowned Bet Alchemist. This is a service we originally reviewed back in 2016 when it made a healthy 38 points profit during our live trial. We have continued to proof the tips since then and the service has maintained excellent form over the proceeding years, having amassed 368 points profit since 2016. 

In total since the service began in 2012 they have made over 600 points profit at a return on investment of over 14%. Nicky Doyle who runs the service specialises in jump racing and does particularly well at the festivals and big race meetings. At Cheltenham alone for example he has made £13,785 in profits since 2010, which is not a bad bit of extra income! 

There is also an additional service, the £1k to £5k Challenge, which is an attempt to turn a £1,000 starting bank into £5,000 purely by betting on the big meetings at weekends, for those who fancy something extra.

The Bet Alchemist is one of the most reputable services out there and has established a very consistent record of tipping over a number of years, which is highly commendable. Certainly worth checking out.  

 

Conclusion – Make Sure You Pick the Right Tipster

The internet is an absolute minefield when it comes to finding a good tipster. There are so many scam artists, dodgy tipsters and websites with fake results out there it can be difficult to know where to start and who to trust. That is why we have spent countless hours over the last five+ years putting tipsters through their paces to see if their results are real and separating the “wheat from the chaff” as it were. 

Fortunately having tested out literally hundreds of tipsters we have found a select few who have stood up to rigorous testing. Not only have these tipsters survived a live trial on our site, they have gone on producing consistent profits for not just months, but years afterwards. That proves they have a clear edge over the market and have demonstrated an undoubted ability to beat the bookies – the holy grail of betting. 

This group of winning tipsters are an elite band of specialists and have very dedicated followers who have benefited from their unrivaled skills to the tune of thousands of pounds, euros and dollars. So if you are going to pick a tipster, make sure you choose the right one with an established track record like those listed above. If you do that, you could be well on your way to success too.

Best Football Stat Sites

/0 Comments/in , /by

There are a plethora of football stats sites on the web, some are free, and some charge a fee. There is so much data you can risk drowning in it, and each site seems to handle data in slightly different ways. To help you negotiate the landscape, here are what we think are the best football stats sites to help you make better football betting decisions.

 

Free Football Stat Sites

Here are the sites to look at if you are interested in free soccer stats:-

Whoscored

For an in-depth view of football statistics, WhoScored is a great place to start. It’s useful for live scores, match previews, comparing players, possession percentages, red and yellow cards, passing statistics, aerial duels, tackles per game, and very much more.  One great feature is the Statistical Best XI, which you can order by multiple parameters.

Soccerstats

Although the website might appear a little basic, it provides a fast way to access the data you are looking for without any clutter getting in the way. There is a massive amount of information which you can quickly sift through. It includes stats from just about every league in the world, including professional, amateur and regional. You can select your favourite leagues up to a maximum of 16.

Footstats

If you are more interested in the English and Scottish football leagues, then FootStats might be the best site for you. As well as an in-depth look at the UK football scene, it has also been updated recently to provide stats on the major European and World leagues. Typical stats include shots per game, shot percentages, goals, fouls, corners, red and yellow cards and more.

Statbunker

Statbunker is a fundamental archive of vital football stats but despite its somewhat austere appearance, there is a wealth of information which you can quickly access. The major sections are competitions, upcoming, live and full time; all-time stats from major European leagues, and manager stats including match results, goals and other useful information such as average points per match.

Premium/Paid For Football Stat Sites

For those slightly more serious about their football statistics and looking to use them for professional betting, there are the following sites:-

Statisticsports

This is probably the best site for live football scores and statistics analysis. The website is powered by AI which it claims provides the best football prediction tool to help you find the best bets in time. Each week it processes 2,100 football games and each day 95% of live games are covered. For anyone serious about football betting, this could be an excellent choice. There is a free seven-day trial followed by three membership levels: basic (£17 a month), deluxe (£37 a month) and Platinum (£77 a month). It includes a mobile app which provides alerts of value bets on the go.

Wyscount

If you want to take your football stats research to the next level and you are willing to fork out nearly £200 a year (the top-level subscription is £999 a year), then Wyscout is the ultimate professional site. It provides what is probably the best football video archive in the world. The website adds 2,000 games a week and includes 400 million plays, all with in-depth analysis and stats. If you are involved with football professionally, or you are determined to take your football betting to the next level, it’s worth looking. There is a 15-day free trial.

Get Your Six Nations Guide Here!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rugby betting may not be everyone’s cup of tea – in fact some people even refer to the sport as “egg chasing” – in reference to the shape of the ball.

However, if you can make as much money betting on the sport as a guy called Phil Worrall then I don’t think you really care how people refer to it!

Phil is a professional rugby trader and we originally reviewed his trading and tipping service last year when it made an excellent 162 points profit.

He then produced a tipping guide for last year’s Rugby World Cup which generated a superb 48 points profit.

And over the last six weeks Phil has restarted his tipping service and it’s got off to an absolute flyer – already making 125 points profit!

So that’s a combined 335 points profit – or £1,675 profit to £5 stakes.

Six Nations Offer

With the Six Nations tournament starting this weekend Phil has produced a full Tournament Guide PDF containing his outright tips. He’ll also be providing weekly tips for the matches throughout the Six Nations.

For a £5.00 introductory offer you can get Phil’s Tournament Guide, plus his tips for the opening round of games.

You can then decide to sign up for his tips for the rest of the tournament if you like.

If you are interested in the £5 offer, please just contact us at info@honestbettingreviews.com and we will provide details of how to sign up.

You will need to move fast though as there are only a handful of places left.

Phil Bull – Founder of Timeform and £5 million Pro Gambler

/0 Comments/in , /by

Phil Bull was a Yorkshireman, which was easy to discern from his fine West Yorkshire accent. He was born in 1910 and during his 79 years (he died in 1989), went on to transform the horserace betting world by founding the Timeform private handicapping system which since 1948 has been providing performance ratings for racehorses in Great Britain and, to an increasing extent, internationally. During his life, he became a well-known character throughout the horse racing world.

His father was a coal miner and his mother a teacher. As a young child, he showed exceptional promise academically and passed his entrance exams to the local grammar school. He went on to attend Leeds University, from which he graduated in 1931 with a degree in mathematics. His maths education was later put to excellent use when he combined it with his love of horse racing to develop techniques for evaluating racehorse performance, laying the foundations for his Timeform handicapping system.

After leaving university, he followed his mother’s profession and became a maths teacher, but the job failed to live up to his expectations, and he soon abandoned it for a career as a professional gambler.

Life As A Professional Gambler

Betting had always been an interest of his, right from being a schoolboy. In fact, an interest in gambling often goes hand in hand with an interest in mathematics. With Phil Bull the two activities were closely intertwined. One of his early big wins was in the Derby when he bet on Caerlon which went on to win at 25/1. By the 1940s he had devised his personal mathematic approach to horseracing which he called the Temple Time Test and went on to sell to fellow punters. Mainly, this was a weekly list of horses based on their time performance. He published it under the pseudonym William K Temple BSc and advertised it in the sporting press.

The Temple Time Test was surprisingly successful; his clients who bet level stakes would usually make a substantial profit over a year. In fact, it was so successful that bookmakers became concerned. William Hill went as far as closing the accounts of many of Phil Bull’s clients. This didn’t go down well with Bull and led to an angry confrontation between him and William Hill. However, all ended well as William went on to become friends and colleagues with Phil Bull organising William Hill’s ante-post prices (and are pictured together above).

As a gambler, Phil Bull was extraordinarily successful. Between 1943 and 1974 his gambling profits were nearly £296,000. Today that would be a little over £5 million. Never let it be said that mathematics is a waste of time.

Timeform Private Handicapping System

The launch of the Timeform Private Handicapping System was a joint enterprise between Phil Bull and Dick Whitford, who had previously devised his own rating system. This was somewhat different from the Temple Time Test, which was based on assessing the probable race time. Whitford’s system was based mainly on form. The two approaches blended seamlessly, and the new system was christened Timeform, indication that it was an amalgam of both methods. They set up their own publishing company, Portway Press, to produce the Timeform publications, the first of which was issued in 1948 and was titled “Racehorses of 1948”. Betfair bought the Timeform company in 2006 for £15 million.

So, what exactly is a Timeform rating?

It is a little complicated. It is expressed in “pounds” and is calculated by comparing the running of a horse with other horses with weight showing the distance by which it is beaten weighted by the length of the race. For instance, a length is equivalent to 3 pounds for five furlongs, 2 pounds for one mile and a quarter, and one pound for two miles.  

Racehorse owner

Phil Bull was also a racehorse owner and breeder. He set up the Hollins Stud in Yorkshire in 1947 with four mares which produced a raft of winners. Some of his horses went on to win the Greenham Stakes, Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, Prix du Moulin, Gimcrack Stakes, Ebor Handicap, Wokingham Handicap and several more.

Finally

Phil Bull’s advice was to always make your own decisions based on reason. At races, he said, “Keep your eyes open and your ears shut”.

Clive Holt – From Amateur Punter to Winning Big

/0 Comments/in , /by

The late Clive Holt was a legend in horse racing circles. He was a punter who started from virtually nothing and eventually made it big time and enjoying the luxuries most of us dream about: exotic holidays, luxury cars, and even a country mansion with stables and many acres of parkland where he lived with his wife and four children. It was undoubtedly a huge step up from his early career with the electricity board.

Gambling came to Clive almost by accident. His father owned a couple of greyhounds which he would race. He introduced Clive to gambling and taught him a few tricks; however his early betting tended to be more than a little haphazard. He rarely kept track of his bets, though he did have a reasonable amount of luck. Back in the 1960s sometimes he would win as much as £1,000 – that is equivalent to around £18,000 in today’s money.  But it was win one day, lose the next day. There was no strategy to the way he bet.

But that was all to change. He decided there was far more to the sport than picking winners and more to money management than counting the difference between what he went to the racecourse with and with how much he came away. He decided there must be more logic to it than that and began analysing races in more detail. Eventually, he was able to work out which kinds of bets worked for him and those that were likely to fail.

The more effort he put into his analysis, the more successful he became. Now able to control his bankroll, he was able to survive losing runs and capitalise when he hit a winning streak. Overall, he began to turn a regular profit. During the mid-1970s he enjoyed considerable success, earning more money from gambling in a few months than he did in two years at his day job with the electricity Board.

That was the point he decided to become a full-time professional gambler. He quit his job to devote all his time to horse racing. Success followed success. He never made huge bets, and it was rare for him to win more than £1,000 on a race, but he won relatively small amounts consistently. He said that he was making 50% profit on his outlay.

Such was his luck that major bookmakers became concerned. In 1978 both Coral and William Hill closed his accounts as he was too successful. This forced him to do all his betting at the racecourse, and typically he would go racing around four times a week.

Holt is known for his famous Fineform racing system, which he developed and used successfully, eventually publishing it as a booklet and later refining it in his book “Be a Successful Punter” published in 1988. In the book, he advocated that “One vital ingredient for successful punting is that you’ve got to be confident that your selection can win.”

He went on to say that “Horses with good winning form when at their peak or improving win most of their races throughout the year and are a source of winners anyone can exploit.”  Perhaps surprisingly, Holt didn’t really enjoy betting on horses. He did it purely for the money it made for him. He often said that if he could find any job that paid as well, he would take it and wouldn’t miss betting at all. We are not quite sure we believe him.

The Fineform Ratings System

This system assigns a rating to runners based entirely on their last two races:

  • – First place = 5 points
  • – Second place = 3 points
  • – Third place = 2 points
  • – Fourth place = 1 point
  • – Course and distance success = 3 points
  • – Distance success = 3 points
  • – Course success = 1 point

You simply bet on the horse with the highest score. Although back then it proved a reasonably successful strategy, recent changes to the sport mean that today it is mainly irrelevant. However, it certainly worked for Holt, and according to reports, for many other punters too.

In addition to “The Fine Form Winners Guide” and “Be a Successful Punter”, other books by Clive Holt include “Winners back “Winners”, published in 1994; “Profitable Betting Strategies” published in 1989; and “Trading Inside”, published in 1996.

Dave Nevison – Professional Gambler Making 100 Grand A Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dave Nevison – gambler, professional tipster, TV personality and author, has made a comfortable living from horseracing. He is now approaching his sixtieth year and is still picking the winners.  

As he states in his book “A Bloody Good Winner” when Dave Nevison wins, he loves to celebrate, which means drinking, dancing and, more often than not, singing. Standing on and falling off tables is also a common occurrence. After all, not every day is a winning day, so when they do happen it is, he says, essential to make the best of them. He admits to having a big ego, claiming that he is the best punter out there.

Nevison has been a big advocate of tissue pricing, a form of value betting that assigns a probability of the horse winning based on multiple factors and compares this with the probability indicated by the betting odds. When the tissue price is lower than the bookmaker’s odds, the bookmaker could be underestimating the likelihood of a win, so placing a bet is indicated. It has certainly worked for him, earning him over £100,000 a year from gambling.

Nevison has not always been a professional gambler. His previous life was as a city banker until in 1993 he abandoned it for a more hedonistic lifestyle on the racecourse. He frequently travelled from course to course, a lifestyle that took a toll on his marriage, especially when, as he said, “There are loads of women wandering around wanting to meet a man in a suit who’s got money in his pocket.”

As he also points out though, don’t underestimate the sheer hard work of making a good living from gambling. Typically, his days would begin a 4.00 am, and much of his time would be spent studying the form book. He would price up every race himself and look seriously at any opportunity where the price was 15% higher than he made it. While his strike rate was not high, it was enough to guarantee a good long term profit. Playing for Value rather than for winners, often he would back more than one runner in a race. 

Nevison has been known to place bets of £2,000 per race

Losing runs, or at least being able to handle them, is always a problem. However, his experience is they tend to be short-lived as he covered so many options. It was a rare day in which he failed to back at least one winner. His typical bet was around £2,000 a race. His preferred races are up to a mile handicap events as it is easier to understand how the race will be run and which horse is likely to win it. It is challenging, he says, making a profit on group races. Spotting winners is easy, especially late season, but making a profit is far more complicated.

Over recent years Nevison has been turning his attention to other activities. He has recently celebrated his 58th birthday and maintains that betting is a young man’s sport. He certainly wishes to avoid “putting he head on the block” during his sixties. Today writing books, running websites and providing tips is more his lifestyle.

One concern he has regarding the future is the burgeoning presence of artificial intelligence and machine learning and the impact they are likely to have on the tipster industry. Does he intend to incorporate these latest technological advances in his professional tipping service to deliver the best possible advice to his paying clients? It has been claimed that tipsters who fail to keep up with these advances will become dinosaurs. Algorithms are achieving a strike rate approaching 40%. Time will tell.

In addition to “A Bloody Good Winner”, Nevison has also written, “No Easy Money” in which he describes in more detail how he calculates tissue odds for each race. It is, he explains, all a matter of getting your percentages right rather than finding a winner.

Dave Nevison’s advice to young punters who hope to make a successful career as a professional gambler is to specialise. Select one branch of racing, stick to it, be patient and learn all you can about it until you become a master of It. That way, you can be optimistic about earning enough to enjoy a very comfortable lifestyle.

Best Tennis Betting Sites

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tennis is one of the most popular sports to bet on in the world and there are matches nearly all year round. Of course the four grand slams events take centre stage, but there are also weekly events on the ATP and WTA tours that attract top players and huge amounts of betting interest. 

This is good news for those fancying a punt on the tennis but it is important not to just bet on a whim or on players you may happen to like. Success in tennis betting – just as with any other form of betting – requires a clear strategy, a good deal of work and a method that has an edge over the bookies. 

Fortunately there are a number of good websites out there that can help with your tennis betting and we have made it our job over the last few years to try and find the best ones. 

So below we will take a look at the best tennis betting sites, including a mixture of stats sites, tipsters, betting strategies and more. 

 

Our Top 5 Tennis Betting Sites

There are a whole host of tennis betting sites out there and not all of them are helpful. There are some selling dodgy tips and information which we would not recommend following. However, there are a few gems that can really aid your tennis betting, whether you are looking to follow a tried and tested expert or develop your own strategies. 

Here are our top 5 tennis betting sites in ascending order:-

 

5. Tennis Insight

One of our favourite sites for stats and information on both men’s and women’s tennis is the excellent Tennis Insight. Including a host of useful info such as match previews, head to head records, tournament features and much more it is a very comprehensive resource for researching your picks. 

Of particular interest are the stats around serving and returning percentages for each surface, which is vital if you are looking to trade certain strategies such as back the server, lay the server etc. They also allow members of the site to post their own tips for matches and everyone who does has a record of success (or failure), so you can see who is doing well and can choose to follow them if you like.

All in all Tennis Insight is a very good site and well worth visiting for some research and study before making your picks.

 

4. Tennis Goldmine

An all round of package including a tennis betting system plus trading and betting tips, Tennis Goldmine comes from renowned tennis expert Patrick Ross. The principal part of the package is the betting system which involves laying players who fit particular criteria. It produced good results during our live trial and is a slow, solid way to grow your betting bank. 

Another part of Tennis Goldmine is Patrick’s betting tips and Spartan Trading Tips, which have both made impressive long-term profits. In terms of the trading tips, they have reached a total of 1500 points profit from a starting bank of 100, which is very good going. Patrick Ross has been a respected name in tennis betting for a number of years and has the results to back it up so if you are looking for a package that covers both betting and trading on tennis, this is well worth a look.

 

3. Tennis Ratings

Although the website itself may look pretty basic, don’t let that put you off as there as some valuable resources contained within Tennis Ratings. We originally came across the site via the excellent book “Mastering Tennis Trading” by Dan Weston, who also runs the site. It’s one of the best guides we’ve read on tennis trading and contains strategies, data and worked examples of trades. 

Mr Weston is a respected figure in the world of tennis betting, having previously written for Pinnacle and the Eastbridge sports betting broker. The site itself includes a host of useful articles on tennis betting and trading which should be an aid to anyone looking to improve their returns on the game. There are also records of his own pre-match betting model for the ATP and WTA tours, both of which show a good profit to date. There is even a YouTube channel with some video examples of trades. 

If you are interested in taking things further and trading on a regular basis then for a fee there are daily spreadsheets which give you the basis of potential trades to make for the day’s matches based on stats and past performances, highlighting players’ strengths and weaknesses and where profitable trading opportunities may lie. 

 

2. The Goat

Next on our list is the interestingly-named “The Goat.” We presume this is a reference to “Greatest Of All Time” rather than the animal, however with a picture of a goat on their profile we are not sure. Either way it’s a very good tennis tipping service with over 150 points profit made to date and a healthy strike rate of just under 50%, meaning nearly half the bets have been winners thus far. 

Bets come in a variety of markets including match odds, Asian handicap games and Asian handicap sets and also double and treble bets in addition to singles. 

Whatever the real story behind the name, The Goat is an impressive tennis betting service. 

 

1. Tee and Serve Tips

The top tennis site we have come across is the excellent tipping service Tee and Serve Tips. Whilst strictly speaking not just a tennis service as it does include golf tips as well (hence the name), its tennis selections are second to none and the results it has achieved have been excellent.

How Betting Against La Liga Giants Barcelona & Real Madrid Can Offer Good Value

/0 Comments/in , /by

Often referred to as the best league in the world, although that might create some debate amongst fans of other leading European leagues, there’s no doubting the Spanish league offers plenty of passion and excitement.

La Liga is the home of Barcelona and Real Madrid – two of the wealthiest clubs in football and blessed with some of the best players around – with no game on the planet touching the international popularity of their iconic ‘El Clásico’ encounters each season. There are also the ‘Gran Derbi’ duels between Sevilla and Real Betis, not to mention a host of other mouth-watering national and regional rivalries amongst teams in the Spanish elite.

The Big Two in Spain

Midway into the 2019-20 campaign and with 19 games of the season now played by all the competing teams, as of 8th January, Barcelona are 8/15 outright La Liga betting favourites at Betway, with Real Madrid not far behind at 13/8 odds. Although both teams endured a somewhat shaky start to the season, they have since recovered and look set to dominate the title race once again.

While the charge for La Liga supremacy is looking like a foregone conclusion between the usual suspects, as Barcelona and Real Madrid increasingly look to be the only genuine contenders once again, there’s still good value to be found by backing against the two giants of Spanish football in the match result markets.

Why? Because both have struggled away from home and whatever kind of football betting system you prefer, there’s no substitute for competition knowledge. Sometimes a little research can go a long way, especially when looking for good value betting options in La Liga.

Backing the Underdogs in La Liga

Barcelona have made the Camp Nou an authentic fortress this season, scoring four or five goals in all but two matches. They beat Villarreal by a narrow 2-1 margin back in September, while the only time the side managed by Ernesto Valverde have dropped points at home was in El Clasico, when visiting Real Madrid held firm for a 0-0 draw.

Backing wins at home for Barcelona obviously doesn’t offer much value, given the shorter odds because they’re such strong favourites. However, the Blaugrana outfit have been decidedly dodgy on the road this season, struggling to get points away from home. At the midway point of the season and having played 10 away games, Barca had lost 3 and drawn 3, managing just 4 wins as the visiting side.

This makes Barcelona good value to bet against as the visitors this season, especially given two of their most frustrating away results have been against newly-promoted sides. Drawing 2-2 at Osasuna proved frustrating, although losing 2-0 against Granada in the following game proved even more of a shock for even the most successful football betting experts, given the winning side also have the lowest budget of any La Liga side this season.

Likewise, the form of Real Madrid away from home has been far from ideal for manager Zinedine Zidane. Just like their eternal rivals Barcelona, they remained unbeaten at home during the first half of the campaign. However, anyone carefully following the football statistics will note that away from home, some of the smartest betting tipsters and strategists around may be looking to the underdogs against Real Madrid, with good value odds for upsets.

On the road and having played 10 games as the visiting side, as the fixture statistics at whoscored.com show, although Real Madrid won 5, they also drew 4 and suffered a surprising 1-0 defeat at newly-promoted Mallorca. While they have fared better than Barcelona, this still makes Los Blancos a good value option to draw away from home, while also a consideration for 1X (home win or draw) bets when they’re the visiting side.

While the league table shows that Real Madrid and Barcelona are gradually extending their lead at the top of La Liga, both sides will inevitably stumble during the second half of the campaign in Spain. For that reason, it’s definitely worth paying extra-special attention to how they fare in away games, as that could ultimately prove the difference between the two sides in deciding the title.

Conclusion

Given the high-value odds of backing Real Madrid and Barcelona to lose can potentially bring good returns, clearly, it goes without saying that it’s always worth checking their form and team news ahead of games. Both sides have endured periods this season when key players have been absent through injury, which isn’t always reflected by their match odds. That’s something to keep an eye on as an opportunity when looking for value bets.

Elsewhere, it’s often the case that compared to the shorter odds being offered in many Premier League matches, the higher odds available in various La Liga markets can often present better value overall, and especially when they’re games that don’t involve the big teams. Follow the form and statistics of each team, look for trends in their performance and before long, you’ll spot some great value bets to be had in La Liga games.
