Goal King – Full Review
The Goal King is a football tipping service run by a guy called Steve Hudson. He has been a professional tipster for 6 years and has been betting for 13 years. He also runs another tipping service, AccaTipster, which has been going for a few years.
The Goal King focuses on the Both Teams to Score (BTS) and Over 2.5 goals markets, with some bets in the Asian handicap market too.
We followed the service for an extended 12 month trial, which gave us a good sample size of 388 bets.
It’s a fairly straightforward service, with bets normally sent out twice per week by e-mail – one for the midweek fixtures and then one for the weekend games.
At the end of our trial they finished with a solid total of 43 points profit, which came at a strike rate of 59% and a return on investment of 3%.
The trial got off to a slightly rocky start but gradually improved as it went on, as you can see in the profit graph:
One of the elements of the service we remarked on a few times during our review was the staking, which started off at 5 points per bet, then reduced to 1 point over the Summer before settling at 2.5 points per bet for the 2021/22 season.
We prefer services that just use one point level stakes, or at least if they are going to use larger stakes then it would be for more confident selections. Here though it just seemed to be a way of slightly inflating results, as all selections over a given period used the same staking.
Not that it makes too much of a difference in the grand scheme of things – that is why we have stats like ROI so you can see how the returns compare to the stakes used.
And in the end a solid profit was made which is never to be sniffed at, so we are happy to award this service a narrow PASSED rating after a 12 month trial.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The tips are sent by e-mail, usually twice per week (if there are midweek fixtures). There is usually plenty of time to get the bets on and recommended bookies are included with the best prices.
Availability of prices: We didn’t notice any particular issues in terms of the prices, with the markets tipped in (BTS & over/under 2.5 goals) being very liquid normally.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 59%, which is close to the long-term average of 61% and meant a steady stream of winners throughout the trial.
Advised Betting Bank: We didn’t see any bank being advised but used a 100 point betting bank for the trial taking into account the staking per bet and high strike rate of 59%.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are very reasonable at £14.95 per month or £67 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
The Goal King is a football tipster who focuses on the Both Teams to Score and over/under 2.5 goals markets.
We ran an extended 12 month trial of the service and it made a solid 43 points profit. Whilst that wasn’t a huge return in the grand scheme of things, any form of profit is not to be sniffed at so we are happy to award the service a narrow PASSED rating.

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

There have been a lot of BTS (both teams to score) bets lately, which along with over/under bets are the mainstay of the service.
With international matches there are a lot of low-scoring games so going low on those has tended to pay off well for the Goal King.

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

The solid form has continued for football tipster the Goal King over the last month, with an additional 12 points profit made since our last update.
That means they are now 58 points up for our trial overall.

The staking has varied quite a bit recently. It had been five points per bet for most of our trial, then dropped down to one point during the off-season and is now at 2.5 points per bet, presumably as we are in the early part of the season whilst they wait for the form to settle down.
In any event it has been good to see the steady upward progress made over the last few months by this footy tipster.

Goal King – Results Update
12th August 2021
Football tipster the Goal King has continued their good form recently, adding another 14 points profit since our last update.
That means they are now 46 points up for our trial overall.
You can view full results here.
As previously mentioned, the staking is inflated at 5 points on most selections, so in reality the returns would be quite a bit lower if using 1 point level stakes. Although during the off season they were using just 1 point stakes and made a decent 11 points profit whilst doing so. Now the season is getting going again they are back to using 5 points once more.
The action should really crank up now with the all the European leagues kicking off again, including the Premier League tomorrow.

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

As mentioned previously, the staking is inflated at 5 points on every selection, so in reality they would be just 6-8 points up at one point level stakes.
However, since the end of the main season they have reduced staking to one point per bet and since then they are 3 points up.
Will probably be a bit of a quiet phase for them now as the Euros come to an end and we wait for the start of the new season.

More losses unfortunately for the Goal King in recent times, with another 21 points dropped since our last update at the end of December.
That means they are now 29 points down for our trial overall.
You can view full results here.
As mentioned last time, the staking is inflated at 5 points on every selection. This is actually doing them a disservice at the moment, as at 1 point stakes they would only be 6 points down, which isn’t too bad in the grand scheme of things.
Hopefully this will be a lesson to this and other services that unnecessarily inflate their staking to make their results look better that it can also go the other way and make your results look worse. Stick to one point staking and everyone is happy.

Goal King – Results Update
31st December 2020
It’s been a little bit of a disappointing start to our trial of the Goal King, with a loss of 8 points made so far since they went live.

There are a few things that have given us concerns about this service.
Firstly, there have been quite a few instances of the website not working and we know a number of you have found this issue as well, with just a blank screen appearing and nothing happening. Sometimes it can be worth trying it in a different browser if you are getting this issue.
Secondly, the headline on the website states: “Football expert reveals secret goal betting system that makes £24,367 in 7 months,” but we are yet to have any “secret system” revealed to us. So far it’s just a straightforward tipster service offering tips on the BTS, over/under and Asian handicap markets.
And thirdly they stake 5 points on every selection. This is a real bugbear of ours when tipsters do this as it just looks like they are trying to inflate their results. Why not just stake 1 point on every selection? Essentially you need to divide the total by five to give a proper reflection of their results.
Anyway, these niggles of ours could recede somewhat if results were to improve so let’s see if that happens over the next month or two.

Goal King – New Review
4th December 2020
Today we are starting a new review of a football betting strategy called the Goal King.
It has been designed by a guy called Steve Hudson who claims to have made £20,337 profit from it in 7 months, with a 64% win rate and 19.04% ROI.
Every month has apparently been profitable with the longest losing run being just 5 bets. And you can start with just £10.
We will be running a live trial of Goal King at Honest Betting Reviews and are quite intrigued by this one. It claims to have found a “secret goal betting system” which sounds interesting.
As ever the proof of the pudding will be in the eating though!
This offer will close at midnight (GMT) tomorrow 5th December.
