Best Football Tips

/0 Comments/in /by

A question we are often asked here at Honest Betting Reviews is what the best football tips are.

We have scoured the internet looking at hundreds of football tipsters and betting systems in search of the very best.

Frankly, most of those we encounter are a load of rubbish. Plus there are plenty out there with fake results or overblown claims about how much money they can make you.

It can be a depressing job at times to see how much dishonesty there is out there.

However, the good news is that there are a few hidden gems that shine out. Yes, thankfully there are a small number of very good football tipsters out there.

Ones with honesty and transparency, as well as excellent long-term results.

Below we detail in full what we view as the best football tips around. Enjoy!

 

The Top 10 Best Football Tips

Here is our list of the best football tips you can get your hands on right now to start making some money, starting at number ten and working our way down to number one.

 

   10.  Football Advisor

Entering the charts at ten is one of the most respected football tipsters around is Football Advisor, who started tipping just before the 2014 World Cup and have amassed 350 points profit since then.

They have managed a strike rate of over 35% in the time they have been in operation and a return on investment of over 20%, which is pretty strong tipping.

During our three month live trial, they could only manage 8 points of profit at a return on investment of 4%, but that was one of their quietest runs since the service began, so taking their record overall you would have seen some good profits. 

 

   9.  Anthony Viduka

The Bet Advisor platform offers a number of football tipsters from around the world. One of the best ones is Anthony Viduka, who has made just under 7,000 units profit since starting tipping in March 2016.

His profits have been achieved with a return on investment of over 17%, and a win rate of well over 50%. These are very solid stats and if they continue over the long term, will mean Anthony could well move up this list from number nine.

 

   8.  Betfair Renegade

Betfair Renegade Logo

In eighth place in our list, comprising part of the awesome Profit Maximiser matched betting product, Betfair Renegade is a limited membership package involving selections for betting on football.

Betfair Renegade itself is a piece of software that generates value football selections. What is great about it is that all the selections are based on the Betfair price, so you don’t have to worry about whether you can bet with the bookies. 

During our trial of Betfair Renegade, it made an excellent 233 points of profit at a return on investment of 14%.

It’s incredibly simple to use – just open the software and then it tells you the selections for the day. 

This is only sold on a limited basis however, so you need to check with Mike Cruickshank at support@bonusbagging.co.uk as to whether it is currently available.

Well worth a look if it is available. 

 

   7.  Betting Bias (Football)

Betting Bias Screenshot

It is often these days that you get any tipster offering their tips for free, much less tips that have a very strong winning record.

That however is what you get with Betting Bias, which is a website run by a team of professional gamblers. They provide tips in a number of sports, but here we are concentrating on their football tips, which are a major part of the Betting Bias offering.

Their football tips come mainly in the Premiership, with some other tips in the Champions League and Europa League. They have a particular strong record with their ante-post tips, with winners such as Harry Kane to be top goalscorer in the 2015/16 season.

With a lifetime return on investment standing at over 20% and well over 1000 points profit made, the tips of Betting Bias are highly recommended. Oh yes, and they’re FREE!

 

   6. Accumulator Generator

Accumulator Generator

Whilst not technically football “tips,” Accumulator Generator is such an impressive footy betting tool that we thought it worthy of inclusion here at sixth place on our list.

What it does is provide selections for footy accas that can guarantee you a profit whatever happens. Yes you read that correctly, this is a pretty awesome piece of betting software. It uses a very clever formula to manipulate the bookies’ acca insurance offers to create value for the punter in a very low risk bet.

On average, each acca you do will make you around £10. It only takes a few minutes to do each one, so if you can do just two per day, you could easily make over £500 per month or £6,000 profit per year.

As football fans, pretty much everyone loves the lure of an acca, so the brilliant Accumulator Generator gives you a means of making sure that your accas bring home a very tidy long term profit.

 

   5. Thomo’s Tips

Tipstrr Screenshot

Provided through the Tipstrr betting platform, Thomo’s Tips is a straightforward football tipster who was the first to pass a three month trial here at Honest Betting Reviews.

During that trial, Thomo (aka Andy Thompson) made 2369 points profit at a return on investment of 21%, which as we have mentioned above is a very impressive total.

Most tips come in the English Premiership and Football Leagues, with additional bets in European competition including the Champions League and Europa League, so you are talking about big matches with very high liquidity and there is no problem about getting advised prices.

Overall Thomo’s Tips is an excellent service and well worth adding to your portfolio.

 

   4. Goal Profits

Goal Profits Screenshot

In at number four on our list is Goal Profits, a complete football betting and trading package, with a myriad of great items to help you make some cash from the beautiful game. They have won numerous awards, including the best football trading product three years in a row!

Its main offering is a suite of 28 football trading systems, with full guidance and training videos explaining how they work. There is a chat room where you can follow the live trades of seasoned professional traders and chat with other members about all things football betting related.

In addition, Goal Profits also offer football betting tips, with in particular the Daily Best Bets being worth following. In the first three months of the season they made over 24 points profit, at a return on investment of over 24%, which is pretty handy. 

The tips are based on a database of thousands of matches from around the world, called their “team statistics.” These use stats from a variety of different markets to try and identify value in particular matches for their members. A great deal of work went into building the team stats software and it is bearing fruit for the hard labour that it took to construct.

 

   3. The Sports Guru

At number three on our list is one of the best tipsters we have come across in the form of The Sports Guru, who has amassed some very strong results since starting tipping in June 2015. With over 400 points profit made, that equates to over £4,000 to £10 stakes, or over £10,000 if you are able to afford slightly higher stakes of £25 per point.

Although the Sports Guru tips in a variety of sports, his real forte is in football, where a large portion of the tips come from. There are tips in a variety of leagues from across Europe, with the focus on the Premiership and English Football Leagues.

Looking at the strike rate of The Sports Guru, it is a healthy 40%, meaning again we are talking about strong winning streaks and the losing runs should be kept to a reasonably low level. 

Another excellent service that comes highly recommended. 

 

  2. Banker Bets

As the name suggests, Banker Bets is about betting on the so-called “bankers,” or short-odds selections that are so popular with punters and is the second-best provider of football tips in our chart.

The difference with Banker Bets is that the kind of bankers they back are value selections that are at higher odds than they should be. There is a myth in betting that you only get value by backing at high odds, but that isn’t true. There can be just as much value in a 1/3 shot that should be 1/4 as in a 10/1 shot that should be 9/1.  

The service used to include tennis but now focuses almost entirely on football, with a few bets from US sports. This is because it has achieved far better results from betting on football than on other sports. 

Overall the service has made over 240% profit since being set up, which means if you had started off with a £10,000 bank it would now be worth £34,000. A damn sight better than the kind of interest you would get from any bank right now!

The really great thing about Banker Bets though is that the vast majority of the tips have been winners – over 80% in fact. Imagine winning 8 out of every 10 bets you place and still making a really good profit! That it what they have done consistently for over two years, which is highly impressive. 

 

   1. The Football Formula

The Football Formula is a superb football tipster who has produced astonishing results since starting tipping in May 2016 and grabs the top spot on our list of football tips.

The service has been averaging over 10 points profit per month, which is excellent going. At £100 per point that would be £1000 profit per month, a very nice additional income. 

With a strike rate of over 75%, the vast majority of your bets have been winners which means you can stake a good proportion of your bank on each selection. Plus there should be minimal losing runs, which makes it much easier psychologically to follow than tipsters with low strike rates, who you sometimes need nerves of steel to continue following when they have losing streaks that can last weeks or even months.

The return on investment so far for The Football Formula has been over 20%, which is pretty exceptional in football terms. Most of the time when tipping on the beautiful game, you would expect an ROI of somewhere around 5% and certainly any higher than that is considered very good indeed.

Quite a large proportion of the bets are on the over 2.5 goals market, which they seem to have developed a special affinity for. Perhaps they even have a “formula” for it, as their name suggests.

Either way, The Football Formula is a top football tipster and their tips to date have been first class. Highly recommended and the deserved number one on our list. 

 

Conclusion

So there you have it, our comprehensive list of the best football tips out there. We have done a great deal of research and testing to find the most profitable tipsters around, so hopefully this list will help to improve your footy betting.

Whilst most of these are paid services, you can also check out our list of top free football tips here, which could be another option if you are against paying a monthly subscription fee.

Either way, you should have some good options available to you for betting on the beautiful game. 

And as well as tipsters, there are other routes you can take to profitable footy betting. You can take a look at our article on how to win football bets and hopefully this will help supercharge your returns!

Firefan Review

/0 Comments/in , /by

In recent years everyone has become aware of the “disrupters.”

You had Uber, the big disrupter in the world of taxis.

Airbnb has shaken up the hotel industry.

And the likes of Spotify – and before that Napster – changed the game in music.

Now there is a new app coming very soon that threatens to completely shake up the fantasy sports – and maybe even betting – world.

The app is called Firefan and you can download it here. 

The company who have developed the app are pulling out all the stops to make it a massive global success.

Firefan has been designed by Mark Mongie, previously head of EA Sports and the brains behind the hugely successful series of “Madden” NFL games.

And apparently the developers have spent over $30 million building the app and already have over a million people from 200 countries signed up to download it, very impressive figures indeed for a pre-launch.

How Does it Work?

So what is all about exactly?

Well, Firefan allows you to make predictions – both before a game and in-running – on sports events and then depending on how well you do, you can win prizes.

Basically, before the game you get the chance to predict a number of things such as the match winner and the score.

Then once the game is in-play, it offers you up the chance to predict all sorts of things, such as who will score next, whether there will be a penalty, if someone will get sent off, in addition to who will win the game.

You get points at the end of the game depending on how well you do, which can be converted into tokens. 

These tokens can then be exchanged for real life stuff. Anything from hats, t-shirts and electronics, to tickets to your favourite sports games, airline tickets, hotel stays, holidays etc… All for free!

You can earn tokens either through in-app purchases, by watching adverts, or by sharing the app on social media.

The more you play, the more tokens you can build up and the better your chances of winning some prizes.

Predictions win Prizes

So in essence, Firefan could be described as a mixture between fantasy sports and betting.

Yes, you are not playing with real money as such.

But you are making predictions about sports events and you can win prizes, so it should be fun and rewarding to be involved with. 

The other advantage of this approach is that it means the app can be used in places where gambling is not legal, like the United States.

So it opens up a huge market for the app and millions of users who cannot access more traditional betting apps like Bet 365 and Ladbrokes. 

Plus Firefan is designed to be a very social tool, so you can set up games against your friends, colleagues, neighbours and so on and see how you fare against them.

And you can connect with and chat to sports stars and celebs as well. They already have people like Evander Holyfield signed up. 

So it’s meant to have more of a fun element to it, rather than just being about pure predicting.

Only time will tell if this does become the global sensation some are expecting, but judging by the pre-launch registrations, the signs are very good.

How to get Involved

By pre-registering (which takes about 30 seconds) you will be given a bunch of free tokens right from the start and will also have the opportunity to earn a load more by sharing the app with your friends.

To download the app, just click here. 

There are absolutely no obligations with this. It’s free and should be a lot of fun.

Here’s to the next of the disrupters!

 

Review Update

We will be conducting a thorough review of Firefan when it is up and running and there are some different sports on it to test.

Ladbrokes Acca Insurance

/0 Comments/in /by

One of the most popular bets these days is the football accumulator.

Thoughts of winning big off just a small stake are very tempting to the everyday punter.

To capitalise in the huge appetite for footy accas, the bookies have come up with special offers to try and gain your business.

These offers generally take the form of what is called “acca insurance.”

What this means is that if one leg of your 5 or 6-fold loses, you get your stake back as a free bet, up to a maximum of say £/€25 or £/€50, depending on the offer of the particular bookie.

Ladbrokes are one of the bookies with an acca insurance offer – we will look at the offer in full below and how you can exploit it to make profit every time 🙂

 

Ladbrokes Acca Insurance Offer

Ladbrokes are one of the many bookies now offering Acca Insurance. Here is how their offer works:

  • If you place a 5+ fold accumulator and if one team fails to win, Ladbrokes will refund your stake as a free bet up to a maximum of £25.
  • There are no minimum odds on the selections
  • Bets must be in the match odds market (1X2)
  • The maximum refund will be £25, refunded as a free bet. Your refund will be equal to the amount of your stake.
  • You are allowed to do the offer a maximum of once per day

So that summarises how the offer works, but if you want full details you can see them here.

 

Example

Here is an example of the Ladbrokes Insurance offer in practice.

Let’s say you place a £25 accumulator with Ladbrokes on all the following teams to win:

  • Bayern Munich
  • Leicester
  • Liverpool
  • Arsenal
  • Athletico Madrid
  • Ajax

Then five of the teams win, but unfortunately Liverpool let you down, losing 2-1.

So each leg of your accumulator apart from one has won, meaning Ladbrokes will refund your £25 stake as a free bet.

 

How to Make Money Guaranteed from Acca Insurance Offers

Accumulator Generator

Whilst this acca offer is a good offer from Ladbrokes, it can still go wrong and end up costing you money.

If more than one of the legs in your acca lose, you will lose the bet completely and not receive a refund at all. 

So it is only a partial kind of “insurance” in reality, but there is a method of turning this offer (and other acca insurance offers like it) into money-making opportunities every single time.  

This is because of an ingenious piece of software called Accumulator Generator.

It sets things up so you can guarantee making a profit from your accumulator, whatever happens. So even if you three legs lose for example, you would still make money!

Clever, eh?

And if you do just a couple of these offers per day, you can make over £500 per month. 

And the good news is you can get a 14-day trial of Accumulator Generator for just £1 here.

 

Conclusion

Ladbrokes’ Acca Insurance offer is a good offer and certainly one you should consider using if you are planning to place a footy (soccer) acca.

If you place an acca on five teams or more and one of them fails to win, Ladbrokes will refund your stake as a free bet, up to a maximum of £25.

However, you can really cash in on this and other similar offers by signing up to Accumulator Generator, which means you can guarantee making money out of each acca you place!

Paddy Power Acca Insurance

/0 Comments/in /by

You may well have seen adverts on the TV for “Acca Insurance” from the likes of Paddy Power and other bookies.

Basically acca insurance is a relatively new form of incentive offered by the bookies to try and get more people to place accumulator bets on football.

How exactly does acca insurance work though, what are Paddy Power offering you and more importantly, how can you profit from it?

We will look at all of this below.

 

—————–Make up to £500 per month tax-free with this top-rated betting product—————–

 

Paddy Power’s Acca Insurance Offer

Paddy Power’s acca insurance offer is one of the best around. It is available during the main footy season and it works like this:

  • They will refund your stake as a free bet up to £50 if you place a 5+ fold accumulator and one leg fails to win.
  • There are no minimum odds for the selections, so you can include the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona in your acca if you like!
  • Bets in the acca can only be placed in the match odds market (i.e. 1×2).
  • The maximum refund you can receive is £50 per accumulator – the refund will equal the amount of your stake up to £50.
  • You are allowed to do the offer a maximum of once per day, which is pretty good as if you utilise it properly then you can really make some big profits from it – more on that below.

So all in all very good terms and as we say, one of the best acca insurance offers out there.

And the nice thing about Paddy Power is that they even have an “acca insurance coupon” showing you all the matches that are eligible to be in your acca so you don’t have to go searching for them.

 

 

Example

Here is an example of Paddy Power’s Acca Insurance offer in practice.

Let’s say you do a five-fold accumulator involving the following teams all to win:

  • Chelsea
  • Manchester City
  • Arsenal
  • Leicester
  • Tottenham

All of the teams win, apart from Arsenal who unfortunately go down 2-1 away at Liverpool. So all of your matches have won apart from one, meaning Paddy Power will refund your stake as a free bet up to a maximum of £50.

The amount of your free bet will equal the stake of your acca bet, so if you placed £30 on your acca then your free bet will be £30, for example.

How to get the most out of the Paddy Power Offer 

Accumulator Generator

Whilst this is a very good offer from Paddy Power, you can still end up losing money on it of course.

If two or more the matches don’t win, then you will lose your bet and not qualify for any sort of refund.

So it is not really “insurance” in the true sense of the word, but there is a way you can make it genuinely risk-free and generate cash time after time from this offer.

You can do this via a system called Accumulator Generator, which is an ingenius piece of software.

It sets things up so you can lay against the potential of the free bet on all of these acca insurance offers from the bookies and ensure you make a profit. 

If you do just a couple of these offers per day, you can make over £500 per month. 

And the good news is you can get a 14-day trial of Accumulator Generator for just £1 here.

 

Conclusion

Paddy Power have a very good acca insurance offer that is one of the best in the business.

If just one leg of your 5+ fold acca doesn’t win, they will refund your stake as a free bet up to £50.

If you really want to benefit from this offer and other acca offers like it though, we recommend you try Accumulator Generator, which will allow you to make hundreds of pounds per month risk-free.

William Hill Acca Insurance

/0 Comments/in /by

One of the most popular offers made by the bookies these days is so-called “Acca Insurance.”

This means that you get your stake back as a free bet (up to a certain amount) if one leg of your footy accumulator loses.

But how exactly does this work, what is William Hill’s offer and how can you maximise the profit of such an offer?

We will look at all of this below.

 

—————–Make up to £500 per month risk-free with this top-rated betting product—————–

 

William Hill’s Acca Insurance Offer

William Hill’s acca insurance offer is one of the best ones around.

Their offer works like this:

  • They will refund your stake as a free bet up to £50 if you place a 6+ fold accumulator and one leg fails to win.
  • There are no minimum odds for the selections, so you can include the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona in your acca if you like!

  • The maximum refund you can receive is £50 per accumulator – the refund will equal the amount of your stake up to £50.

  • Celtic
  • Man Utd
  • Real Madrid
  • Bayern Munich
  • Barcelona
  • PSG

Then five of the teams win, but unfortunately Man Utd can only manage a 1-1 draw.

So all but one leg of your acca has won, meaning William Hill will refund your £50 stake as a free bet.

 

 

 

How to get the most out of William Hill’s Offer

Accumulator Generator

Although the bookies call their offers “Acca Insurance,” in reality there is only partial insurance on your bet.

If two or more legs lose, then you still lose your bet.

However, there is a way to make literally hundreds of pounds per month from these acca insurance offers, like William Hills’.

You can do this via some special software called Accumulator Generator.

Basically what it does is use the potential of the free bet refund to set up the accas so that you make a profit whatever happens.

It does this by matching the prices at Betfair with those at the bookies.

It only takes a few minutes per day once you get the hang of it, so very easy to do.

And the good news is you can get a 14-day trial of Accumulator Generator for just £1 here.

 

Conclusion

William Hill’s Acca Insurance is one of the better offers available, as the refund is £50, whilst there are no minimum odds and you can do one offer per day.

So it is certainly worth looking at doing your acca at William Hill if you have 6 or more legs in your accumulator.

If you want to make the most of this and other acca insurance offers and make hundreds of pounds per month, then we highly recommend checking out Accumulator Generator.

Acca Insurance

/0 Comments/in /by

These days the bookies provide some fantastic offers based around football accumulators, which you have probably seen advertised relentlessly on TV.

But what exactly do they mean by “acca insurance,” what offers are available and how can you best take advantage of them?

We look at each of these questions below.

 

What is meant by Acca Insurance?

Acca Insurance basically means the bookies will refund your stake as a free bet up to a certain amount (e.g. £25 or even £50) if one leg of your acca loses.

There are usually a minimum number of legs (i.e. matches) needed in your acca to qualify for the offer – normally 5 or 6.

Let’s have a look at an example:

Say you place the following accumulator:

A £50 accumulator for all the following teams to win:

  • Chelsea
  • Liverpool
  • Man Utd
  • Arsenal
  • Man City

Now Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd and Man City all win, but sadly Arsenal are firing blanks and end up drawing 0-0.

So all but one of your acca legs has won, the bookie will refund your £50 bet as a free bet.

 

Is it really “insurance?”

So these offers are a form of “insurance” in a way, but they obviously don’t remove all your risk by any means like insurance on your car or house does for example.

If two or more legs of your acca lose, then you still lose your bet.

However, there is a way you can genuinely remove the risk and ensure you make a profit whatever happens.

That is thanks to a great new system called Accumulator Generator, which has worked out a very clever way to utilise acca insurance to generate consistent profits on your accumulators, even if more than one leg loses.

You can make literally hundreds of pounds per month doing this for just a few minutes work per day.

And the great news is you can try it out risk-free for 14 days for just £1 here.

Accumulator Generator

 

List of Acca Offers

Here is a list of the Acca offers available at the moment. Bear in mind that new ones are being added all the time, so watch out for bigger and better opportunities.

William Hill

Place a 6-fold accumulator and if one leg lets you down then William Hill will refund your stake as a free bet up to a maximum of £50. 

 

Why do the bookies offer Acca Insurance?

You may be wondering why the bookies offer acca insurance.

Well it is used primarily as a way of keeping punters coming back, as accumulators are a very popular form of betting these days.

More and more bookies now offer some acca insurance, so if your bookie doesn’t then it is probably time to move on.

Some bookies offer an accumulator bonus rather than acca “insurance” – see the offers above for more details.

 

Always check the T&Cs

As ever with bookie offers, it is important to check the terms and conditions for each offer that you participate in.

Some will require minimum odds for each leg of the acca, some will only allow you to place bets in certain leagues and obviously there are always a minimum number of legs per acca for each offer.

Plus the bookies may have their own special terms for their offers, so do check if there is anything else you need to be careful of.

As we say, if you want a system that covers all this and shows you how to set up these accas to guarantee long term profit, then we highly recommend Accumulator Generator.

And as always, please gamble responsibly with your accas and all your betting.

 

Conclusion

There are some fantastic bookie offers available now for football accumulators, most of them providing “acca insurance” that refunds your bet as a free bet, in some cases up to €/£50.

Before you place an acca, it is certainly worth checking for any such offers and taking advantage of these great incentives.

Even better, a product like Accumulator Generator will find the best offers and run its special software to ensure you get the most out of them.

Banker Bets – Eighteen Month Update

/in , /by

We have been following the popular sports betting service Banker Bets for 18 months now, a very good period over which to judge a service.

They initially received a strong recommended rating from us after our initial trial that ended in April 2015.

Then when we updated things in October 2015, they maintained that recommended rating, whilst having dropped down slightly from the heady heights of the original trial.

So now, a further 9 months on and after 18 months in total of receiving the tips, where do we stand with Banker Bets?

 

Updated Results

Well, we are pleased to say that things have continued in positive fashion for Banker Bets. 

Here are the monthly results since our last update in October 2015:

 

Month   Profit/loss (points)
October 2015 (from 15th-31st)   25.6
November   -32
December   -55
January 2016   29.6
February   -39.7
March   31.9
April   58.1
May   29.7
June   3.7
July (to 23rd)   2.1
TOTAL   +54 points

 

So over 50 points profit since last October takes the total for Banker Bets to 126 points up overall after 18 months. 

In 2016 the profits stand at 117% so far.

So if you had started with a bank of £1,000 at the beginning of the year and staked £100 per selection, your bank would now be worth £2,172. 

How many high street banks would give you 117% interest over the space of just over six months!

Not many I would wager. 

Taking results from 2014 before our review started (which obviously we can’t verify, but we have no reason to doubt as all the results we have received for 18 months have been fully accurate and John who runs the service has always been completely honest) the total profit stands at 268%.

So if you had started with a bank of £1,000 when the service began in August 2014, it would now be worth £3,680.

And if you had more funds to invest and had started with a bank of £5,000, it would now be worth £18,400.

That’s using level staking – if you had used 10% compounding no doubt the profits would have been considerably more.

Add to that the fact that they have managed an exceptionally high strike rate of 81% and you have a system that will deliver you a very high number of winners, with minimal losing streaks.

In fact, they haven’t had 2 losing bets in a row since April!

 

Conclusion

So overall after 18 months of following Banker Bets we are very happy to continue to give the service a recommended rating.

The key to a successful tipping service is standing the test of time and not just having a good run for a few months and then imploding, which so many services seem to do.

Banker Bets has been consistently profitable over a sustained period and has proved its worth over the long term, amassing 126% profit over the period we have been following it. 

Add to that an exceptional strike rate of over 81% and the fact that you can often beat the advised odds by using the exchanges and you have a highly impressive package overall.

All that at a very reasonable cost of just £6.75 for the first month then £27/month, £54/quarter or £155 per year .

Definitely worth signing up to and seeing your bank grow steadily over time.

Banker Bets – Nine Month Update

14th October 2015

We now have nine months of results for Banker Bets so we thought a good time for an update on how they have been getting on since our trial ended in April. 

Here are their monthly results totals from 6th April (when our trial concluded) onward:

 

Month Profit/loss (points)
April (6th onward)   +21.5 
May -47.6
June +31.6
July +50.2
August -63.5
September -18.2
October (to 14th) +2.6 
TOTAL -23.4 points

 

So things have been disappointing since the trial ended to be fair with a loss of 23 points incurred.

That comes after they made 95 points profit during our trial, so in total after 9 months they are 72 points up.

Using the advised bank, that equates to 72% bank growth in nine months.

Whilst that it is still a good total for a service that tips at very low odds and manages a strike rate of over 80%, it is probably a bit too low for the service to continue warranting a 5 star rating.

To compare it to our top rated service, Master Racing Tipster, that one has managed 350% bank growth in just over six months.

And certainly for any members who have joined since our trial ended, a loss over a six month period will have been disappointing.

However, we believe you need to take a long-term approach to betting and in fairness they have made a good profit over the nine months, which is impressive in sports like football and tennis where winning tipsters are as scarce as hen’s teeth.

Equally, their published results prior to our trial show good profits as well. Now although we can’t verify those results as we weren’t subscribed to the service at that time, we have no reason to doubt them as the results match exactly the selections given out in the emails since we have been members.

Conclusion

Things have been a little disappointing for Banker Bets since our trial ended and they have failed to reach the heights achieved during that period.

So we believe a downgrade from our previous 5 star rating is warranted. Only services that show continuous or close-to-continuous bank growth should merit a 5 star rating in our view.

But at the same time, they are still in profit for the nine months we have been following them, having grown the bank over 70% in that time, which is good when tipping at odds-on and in notoriously difficult sports markets.

So overall we think they still deserve a passed rating but a downgrade to 4 stars.

OVERALL RATING: PASSED

Banker Bets Final Review

It’s been an excellent trial for Banker Bets and it’s great to see a service living up to its previous results.

This is a service that primarily provides win bets on football and tennis, with the occasional bet on American football.

Things started off great guns in January with an amazing run of 21 straight wins followed by 17 straight wins in early February.

Matters took a bit of a turn for the worse in mid February with a bizarre run of results, including Nadal losing his first clay court semi-final in donkeys years, Chelsea failing to beat Burnley at home and Juventus unable to overcome lowly Cesena. 

Since then things have very much got back on track though with a good run of 12 straight wins to finish the trial. 

So we concluded with the bank very nearly doubling in 3 months, which is really fantastic stuff.

Here is a graph of the results during the trial:

graph

As you can see, a nice trend upwards then the difficult period in February, followed by a good run at the end to just about double the bank overall.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Very good – bets are given out early in the morning (UK time) and can be placed at the bookmakers or Betfair. Bets take just a couple of minutes a day to place. 

Availability of prices: Good. Overall I was able to match the advised prices using just Betfair. Sometimes I beat the advised price and sometimes it was worse, but overall things evened themselves out.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was very high at 84% and with a long term strike rate of 85% losing runs should be short.

Advised Betting Bank: A 10 point betting bank is advised, or a compounding approach where you stake 10% of your current bank on each bet. With an 85% long-term strike rate this should be sufficient, although to be ultra safe you might want to try a 15 point bank.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are very reasonable at £6.75 for the first month and then £27 per month, £54 per quarter or £155 per year. 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED  

I really like services that can deliver a high strike rate and this is one that certainly does that, with an 84% strike rate achieved during out trial. It really does lower the stress levels when the vast majority of your bets are winning. 🙂

However, the most important thing of course is the overall profit/loss level. Well Banker Bets has delivered in spades on that front as well. 

It’s good that you get a clear reasoning behind the selections and you can see that John who runs the service really does his homework before he sends out each bet.

There does appear to be clear value in these types of bets and as we have seen during our trial, there is great potential to build a bank.

If we can repeat these results and double the bank every 3 months, I may be able to start contemplating retirement in a few years’ time! 🙂

Let’s hope so anyway, but in the meantime this one definitely goes on to the passed systems list and I can thoroughly recommend giving Banker Bets a go if you want to make some consistent profits.

Betting Syndicates – we’re all in this together

/0 Comments/in /by

Betting is not normally regarded as a ‘social’ activity. Its image is of a solitary gambler checking the form and heading down to the bookies on their own to place a wager or buy a lottery ticket.

However, and particularly since the advent of the National Lottery, betting syndicates have become popular, especially among workplace colleagues. After all, if a group of you all chip in there’s a better chance of winning, isn’t there?

Well, that’s the theory, anyway. And if the figures are correct (that one in three lottery wins is scooped by a syndicate), then the attractions of pooling your resources are obvious.

 

Big wins for syndicates

Over the years, there have been some big winners, especially on lottery games. The biggest so far has to be the ‘Three Amigos’ in the USA, who in 2012 bought 60 tickets for the Mega Millions Lottery with a potential jackpot of $656million. They paid out twenty bucks each and each took a third of $218.6million (there were two other winning tickets).

The next year a syndicate scooped another huge win in the States. The ‘Oceans 16’ syndicate hit the jackpot on the Powerball draw, ending up splitting a huge $149million between them. 

In the UK we’ve had our share of big syndicate winners too. In 2014 twelve bus drivers from Corby won the Euro Millions jackpot, claiming £38million (a tidy £3.1million each).

 

—————–Make up to £500 per month risk-free with this top-rated betting product—————–

 

The pros and cons

Joining a syndicate does, theoretically, improve your odds of winning at least something. Not only does it give you more of a chance at winning, but it reduces your playing costs. You pay less for a potentially greater chance of a payout. And you’re doing it with friends and family.

However, there are a fair number of cons in joining a syndicate, too. The most obvious is that you have to split the winnings, so you only get a share of the jackpot, not the whole amount.

It can also bring out the worst in people, especially if the jackpot is a big one. You may suddenly find that one person doesn’t want to split the winnings fairly, and demands a larger payout. This is particularly common if you haven’t thought about drawing up syndicate agreements before you started your venture.

 

Why a syndicate agreement is so important 

We’re talking about potentially huge amounts of money here, so getting the paperwork right before you collect up the subs and trot off down to the betting shop or Lottery outlet is essential.

Do things ‘by the book’. Appoint someone you all trust as a syndicate manager, whose job consists of collecting money, placing the bet or buying the tickets, checking the results and then letting everyone in the syndicate know the outcome.

Then download a syndicate agreement – or get a lawyer to draw one up – and make sure that everyone, including the manager, signs a copy. If you’re playing the UK Lotto then you don’t have to register the entire syndicate with Camelot, but the manager does need to register as a player. If your syndicate wins then the money is often paid out to the manager (especially if you picked the numbers online). He or she is then responsible for distributing the prize among the other syndicate members.

 

—————–Make £100 per week with these risk-free bets on horse racing—————–

 

 

What about the Taxman?

Unless you’re setting a syndicate up as a sole means of income, then there should be no income tax to pay. Obviously, if a very large amount of money hits your bank account then it may tip the interest of HMRC. So again, having that syndicate agreement in place means you can prove that the money was a result of a lottery or betting win, and is not taxable income.

A win may, however, be subject to Inheritance Tax, as the money forms part of the winners’ estates. A winning slice of a syndicate pie would be seen as a ‘gift’ to the recipient, especially if they then pass away within seven years of winning the money. So once more, it pays to have that syndicate agreement document in place to show the provenance of your finances.

HMRC’s current policy is that as long as syndicate wins are distributed in accordance with a previously drawn up agreement, they may not be subject to Inheritance Tax. It pays to double check with a legal expert and ensure that all your affairs are in order – including that all-important syndicate agreement document.

 

Betting syndicates – going to the races

The other common form of group betting is a race syndicate. If you’ve always wanted to be leading a prize-winning racehorse into the winner’s enclosure but simply don’t have the money to own a horse outright, a racing syndicate could be the answer. It’s a very simple idea, and one that has allowed thousands of ordinary people to access the elite world of horse racing. A racing syndicate is a collection of people who each own a share in a racehorse. The horse itself is stabled, trained and ridden by professionals, but it’s the syndicate that actually owns the horse as a group.

When you consider that it costs around £25,000 just to train a horse for a year, you start to understand why this is considered as the ‘sport of kings’ – they are often the only people who can afford to buy a racehorse outright. Taking part in a syndicate reduces your costs considerably, but you will still have to pay out around £6,000 a year to be a member of a syndicate. Usually, the horse is sold on after four years, unless it’s phenomenally successful, so you’re looking at a potential four-year cost of £24,000.

So it’s still an expensive buy-in, but the rewards can be considerable. As an ‘owner’ you receive a share of the winnings, which in top-flight racing on both the flat and over jumps can be considerable.

There are two types of racing syndicates – formal and informal. An informal syndicate is a group who have simply clubbed together to buy a horse outright. While this may be a great way to break into horseracing, do remember that you’ll be responsible for the cost of livery, training and vet bills for the animal.

The alternative is a formal syndicate, arranged by a company that specialises in racing syndicates. This is probably the easiest way of all to get into a horse racing syndicate, but remember that with formal syndicates you won’t be able to sell your shares on. If you decide to drop out of the syndicate then the shares will revert back to the company.

Part-ownership of a racehorse may seem like an exciting idea and a sound investment, but beware – the risk/reward ratio is very high. If your syndicate ends up with a Derby winner then you could be thousands of pounds better off. But if it never places you could lose a lot of money, especially as there are often lock-in clauses that tie you into formal syndicates for a set period of time. As with any investment, read the small print carefully before you sign up.

 

In conclusion…

So if you want to increase your chances of winning, cut your wager costs and be part of a social group that has a strong bond and a will to win, join a syndicate. But make sure you do everything by the book, and don’t just say “Hey, I’ve got a great idea, why don’t we all just chip in?” It may seem like fun at the time, but if your numbers do come up and you win big, the repercussions of not having the right paperwork in place at the start can destroy friendships and ruin family relations. So always sort out your syndicate agreement before you buy that winning ticket or place that long-shot bet that comes in at 100/1.

With horse racing syndicates, remember that the buy-in cost can be very high, and the risk/reward ratio is considerable. But if you do find yourself as part of a Gold Cup winning syndicate, the rewards could be potentially enormous. Be prepared to be in it for the long haul (at least four years), and be sure you choose your horse wisely. As with any major betting investment, do your research thoroughly first.

Matched Betting Tips

/0 Comments/in /by

Matched betting is a relatively new phenomenon in the world of betting, where you take advantage of ‘free’ bets and bonuses, effectively making the most out of every visit to a betting shop or online site.

It levels the playing field a little, allowing the punter to use all of the available tools to make the most informed and risk-free bets and generate the best return. It’s fair, it’s legal, and it can transform your betting from the occasional flutter into a profitable income with minimal risks.

 

So what exactly is matched betting?

Matched betting is that Holy Grail of placing a wager – a risk-free method of maximising your profit opportunities by using bookies’ free bet offers and other pot-sweeteners. After all, if a free bet offer is available, why not make the most of it?

You incorporate the use of exchanges to bet against bets you’ve already made as part of the free bet offer provided by the bookie. This ‘matched bet’ then ensures you make a profit while minimising your risk. With so many offers on the table to tempt in punters, there are plenty of free bet opportunities out there to make the most of, whether you’re new to betting or are an experienced punter.

 

Matched Betting Packages

Profit Maximiser

Matched betting really came into the mainstream thanks to the excellent packages produced by Mike Cruickshank, the “godfather” of matched betting.

His first product, Bonus Bagging, is a good start to matched betting and provides the best and most straightforward free bets to use – mainly the ones you get when opening a new account with a bookie.

Then the real piece de resistance – Profit Maximiser. This is like Bonus Bagging on steroids – hundreds of offers (most of them ongoing offers) from which you can make up to £20,000 per year.

Others have come along over the years and copied what Mike does – such as Profit Accumulator, but Mike continues to lead the pack when it comes to matched betting.

If you want to do some matched betting, then one of these packages is essential. 

 

Example

Profit Maximiser Software

Originally, you would have to make a like-for-like contribution to get a free bet offer, so for example to get a £25 free bet you’d have to invest £25 of your own money.

What matched betting does is ensure that you make a profit on these free bets, even if they may not be as generous as a straightforward freebie.

Matched betting lets you, quite literally, ‘play the odds’. So for example, say you open an account with an online bookie, and place a £25 bet on Man U to beat Liverpool at 2/1. You then place another bet with, say, Betfair of £25 on Man U to lose on the same odds. If they then win, you’ll have lost £1.25 (you’ve won £50 with your online bookie, but lost £51.25 with Betfair). So your current net position is -£1.25. However, you still have your £25 ‘free’ bet to play with.

So far, so good.

Now you utilise your £25 free bet from your online bookie to place a new bet on another sporting event (a win) at 5/2, and a second ‘lay’ bet of £17.86 with Betfair at similar odds. If your win bet comes through, you get back £62.50 from the winning bet, and a minus figure of £45.54 on the Betfair wager. You’re still ahead by £16.96, so you’ve guaranteed your winnings on the back of a free bet, with no risk at all.

 

Matched Betting Tips

 

So what about tips to make the most of matched betting and not get caught out by the bookies?

Here are the key things to bear in mind if you doing matched betting:

Learn the Ropes First

Allow yourself plenty of time to learn matched betting. It is not as straightforward as it might seem. The bookies often have complicated offers which take a bit of time to fully understand so that you don’t come a cropper.

The good news is that there are very helpful video guides supplied with Profit Maximiser and Profit Accumulator, so you are taken through the process step by step.

But the main message is not to try and run before you can walk.

Keep Records

It is vital to keep detailed records of your matched betting activity. There are large numbers of offers to keep track of, which ones you have completed and which ones you are part-way through.

Plus don’t forget to keep a record of your login details (although probably best not to write down your exact passwords for security purposes).

Look Closely at the Offers

As mentioned above, the offers are not all as simple as they seem. Bookies will often have wagering requirements (meaning you have to stake a certain amount and/or play through your winnings a certain number of times), minimum odds to qualify for the free bets and certain events they have to be bet on.

Fear not though, all these details are explained for each offer with Profit Maximiser and you are advised to follow an order of the bets, from the most simple to the more complicated.

Do “Mug Bets”

It is vital if you are doing matched betting long term to throw in some “mug bets.” These are basically bets that the bookies tend to like – for example backing England to win at football or betting on big games like Man Utd v Arsenal. You can lay the bets off at Betfair so that there is no risk, but the bookies will like the fact you are placing these bets and will be a lot less likely to close your betting account.

Certainly you should place some additional bets that aren’t just the offers and free bets – if you just do matched betting then the bookies will close you down very quickly.

Give Yourself Time

It does take time to play through some of the offers so you will need to devote a good number of hours if you want to really reap the rewards.

Certainly if you want to make the kind of sums some people are making out of Profit Maximiser – e.g. £20,000 or even £30,000, you would need to devote a substantial amount of time – maybe even look at it like a full-time job.

Use Matched Betting Software

If you are serious about your matched betting and want to make substantial sums, then some matched betting software will be hugely helpful. You might go as far as to say that it is essential.

Either way, matched betting software will save you hours and hours of searching for bets and will make you a lot of extra money in the long term by finding additional value from the matched bets.

It even includes an in-play feature which helps with a lot of the offers you get these days like Bet 365’s free in play £50 and a tool for the Channel 4 racing offers.

So if you want to take your matched betting to the next level, the matched betting software will be of considerable assistance.

Location Location Location

Matched betting is primarily aimed at those in the UK and Ireland as that is where you can get the free bets. In most other countries there are limited offers available from the bookies, so it would not offer the same potential to make money.

If you are in doubt about the situation in your country, then we recommending contacting Mike Cruickshank at Profit Maximiser at support@bonusbagging.co.uk

 

How much can I make from matched bets?

 

Get into a flow with matched betting and you can realistically make around £500 a month. Treat it like a full-time job and really work the free bets on offer and you could make a career out of it, with a liveable wage. However, to get to that level you would need to quite literally treat it as your full-time occupation, and dedicate a lot of time to hunting down the best online free bet offers to take advantage of.

It looks like matched betting is here to stay, particularly as the industry is constantly trying to attract new punters in with some very tempting free offers. If you play smart, you can certainly make the most of these offers, and again because you’re using the freebies to play the odds, you’re minimising the risk.

 

Is there a downside?

If something seems too good to be true then it usually is, but the only real down-side to matched betting is that it can be quite time consuming, especially if you’re only looking to make a small monthly return.

It can also turn you into a ‘gambler’ even if you don’t consider yourself to be one. Remember, when the fun stops, stop. If you think that things are spiralling out of control then seek help, particularly from specialist resources like Gambleaware.

Keep an eye on the small print, too. Some of these freebies come with more strings than a puppet show, so be sure you’re not getting forced to play through your winnings, for example, or run the risk of the account being closed on you for just playing the freebies. Some offers may be geographically restrictive too, so again, check the small print before you sign up.

Harry Findlay – A Larger than Life Gambler

/0 Comments/in /by

You might not have heard much about him over recent years, but he is still around and still making his presence felt in some quarters, but in his heyday he certainly was a legend; one of the most colourful gamblers in the country.

Born in 1962 and often described as being “larger than life”, Harry Findlay is from High Wycombe in Berkshire. Leaving school at the earliest possible moment aged 16 his first job was at the local greyhound kennels. For a short time, he worked for a bookmaker, but it was clear he wasn’t cut out for the job; he preferred it when the punters won.

For most of his life he was a professional gambler and racehorse owner, but it certainly wasn’t all smooth running. Eschewing caution, he was notorious for placing huge bets and although some of them paid off, others lost big. From millionaire to bankrupt, these are just some of the ups and downs of his turbulent life.

Big bets

One of Findlay’s first betting coups was when he placed an unusual treble for £80 that included a horserace, Stefan Edberg at Wimbledon and Holland in the Euros. He got lucky and made £11,000. Subsequently success followed failure and failure followed success.

During the 1998 be believed he had discovered “a licence to print money” with football betting on the Asian handicaps. On one occasion he was in debt to the tune of £200,000, and after selling the deeds to his house and other liquid assets including the car belonging to his partner and mother of his two children, he raised a £90,000 bankroll. After just five matches he had lost most of it, with just enough money left for one more bet. It paid off, and by the end of the World Cup he had won around £2 million.

One of Findlay’s largest bets was £2.5 million staked on the All Blacks to win the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Unfortunately for him, they failed to do so, taken out by France at Cardiff. He learned a lesson though, and that was to never bet on rugby again. However, he was still happy to bet on most other things: horse racing, football, tennis, in fact it has been said he would bet on two flies on the wall.

Philosophy

Bombastic, boorish, flamboyant and loud, Harry Findlay has rarely found himself with nothing to say on his favourite topic. His fundamental philosophy is one of intense self-belief and he only bets when the odds are in his favour. Betting on double zero roulette is, he says, insane. Always on the lookout for value bets, he believes gambling is more profitable and less corrupt than the stock exchange.

Perhaps partly as a result of his job at the bookmakers, he has little time for them. He says that when you win they close you down. He prefers Betfair as they charge just 2% margin, and although he is now in dispute with their 5% margin, in just one year he handed over £70,000 commission to the betting exchange. He hates any form of corruption, and believes that it is trust that sustains the boom in football betting.

Denman

In partnership with Paul Barber, a quiet unassuming character who contrasted Harry Findlay in most quarters, he bought several racehorses. Some proved to be excellent investments, but none so much as Denman. It was in 2004 that Findlay and Barber became the proud owners of Denman, a chestnut gelding which, with Paul Nicholls as trainer, went on to enjoy a remarkable though somewhat bumpy career, including winning the 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup.

In fact, it was the build up to the Gold Cup that brought Findlay to the attention of a wider audience as he styled his presentations as “Denman’s mouthpiece”, loudly insisting that Denman, who Findlay nicknamed The Tank, would stage an emphatic victory over Kauto Star, the then current champion. The PR men and horseracing in general loved it and the money rolled in.

In fact, Denman’s bumpy career mirrored that of Findlay; up one moment and down the next; a roller-coaster-ride of boom and bust.

Banned by the British Horseracing Authority

In 2010 Harry Findlay was famously banned by the British Horseracing Authority for betting using Betfair against his own horse Gullible Gordon which was running at Exeter. At the time he had been struggling financially and Betfair had knowingly allowed him to use an account belonging to his friend Eammon Wilmott, another racehorse owner. The actual lay bets were placed by Glenn Gill, an associate of Findlay.

The six-month ban was condemned by Betfair as being disproportionate; Harry said he was mortified and a “heartbroken man” vowing to never own racehorses in Britain again even if he were to win an appeal against the ban.

One aspect of the tribunal that particularly upset him was the suggestion that he was attempting to profit from his horse losing. On that and at another occasion a few months earlier at Chepstow when he also bet against Gullible Gordon, he had also bet on the horse to win, making £35,000 at Chepstow and losing £62,000 when the horse failed to win at Exeter. The Exeter lay bet was a mistake; Glenn Gill hit the wrong button on the Betfair website. The reason for the lay bet at Chepstow was to protect his position at shorter odds, as the horse had a good chance of winning. His arguments were accepted, but he still received the ban.

Harry sells off his stock

Harry appealed against the ban, but lost. Subsequently he sold most of his horses at auction and ended his association with Paul Nicholls. But it wasn’t the end of his horse racing career; although he left jump racing behind, he turned his attention to flat racing.

Bankruptcy

At a meeting of his creditors on 8th July 2013 at Warwick County Court, Harry Findlay was declared bankrupt. It wasn’t the first time; he had been declared bankrupt 20 years earlier in Scotland which is why he had sold his house. A complete cycle had been completed, and all he could do was move on.

Following his bankruptcy, he spent some time in Australia. Currently back in the UK, he appears to have adopted a much lower profile, in fact some say that he has gone to ground. Maybe he is just staying under the radar for reasons of his own. Perhaps sometime soon he will re-emerge, as bright, cheerful and optimistic as before; the sport certainly misses him, a truly unique character.
