Scottish Confidential – 4 Year Update
We originally reviewed Scottish Confidential (previously known as the Scottish Football Income Booster) back between 2020 and 2022.
It performed solidly in that trial but didn’t set the world alight and finished with a NEUTRAL rating.
However, we have continued to proof the selections since our trial ended and there has been a significant improvement in performance over the last two years.
Since our review ended, they have added a very impressive 65 points profit.
That would be £6,500 profit at £100 per point stakes or £1,625 profit at £25 per point.

In football terms that is top notch, where grinding out any kind of profit is typically very hard.
They have really excelled over the last couple of years, accruing that profit at a return on investment of 10% and a strike rate of over 40%.
As mentioned in our original trial, it’s a pretty simple service to follow. The selections are sent by e-mail, normally on Thursday and Friday ahead of the weekend’s games, giving plenty of time to get the bets on and there are around 15 bets per week.
With some of the bets coming in the Scottish League 1 and 2, prices can be a little sensitive so it is advisable to have as many bookie accounts available as possible and to get your bets on as quickly as you can.
As long as you have access to that though we are happy to upgrade Scottish Confidential to a firm PASSED rating.
The overall results for the service now stand at over 200 points profit, which have been proofed extensively here and elsewhere.
That puts it in the elite level of football tipsters who have stood the test of time and produced strong profits across many years of tipping.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
So in summary it’s a firm thumbs up from us for Scottish Confidential which has really stepped up its game over the last couple of years with 65 points profit made at a ROI of over 10%, putting it up there with the very best football tipsters.
A service well worth adding to the portfolio.

Scottish Football Income Booster – Full Review
The Scottish Football Income Booster (or SFIB for short) is a tipster that focuses solely on Scottish Football. The tips are provided by a chap who is known solely as “the Scotsman,” to keep his identity secret.
The Scotsman is a university educated maths whizz based just outside Glasgow (yes, he’s Scottish!) and his CV screams “Scottish football expert“.
With previous stints at leading bookmaking firms and an Asian-based private investment syndicate as a proprietary trader, in addition to acting as a quant-based hedge fund’s go-to Scottish betting consultant after he was head-hunted because of his vast local knowledge about players, teams and motivational issues likely to affect results.
So it is quite a resume for a tipster and as we often say, the results coming into our trial looked strong with a profit of over 180 points made since starting tipping in 2015/16.
We followed the tips for 20 months, which gave us some of the period when covid lockdowns were still in place and football results were a little skew-whiff, but then a full season of post-lockdowns when things went back to normal. Overall it gave us a good sample size of just over 300 bets in total.
Most of the bets are in the match odds 1X2 market, with a few in other specialist markets such over/under 2.5 goals, draw no bet (DNB) and double chance (DC).
They provide tips across the Scottish leagues, with everything from the Premiership down to League Two.
Whilst we gave the service a good long period to prove itself, unfortunately across the trial period it never really got going and in the end finished four points down.
That was only a -1% ROI and represented just 4% of our bank, so for all intents and purposes it pretty much broke even during our review.
On that basis we think a fair verdict here is a NEUTRAL rating, as the betting bank was still largely in tact by the end of our trial, so no damage done really.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent by e-mail, normally on Thursday and Friday ahead of the weekend’s games, giving plenty of time to get the bets on.
Availability of prices: Prices are generally available and we didn’t see any problems obtaining the recommended odds.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 44%, which isn’t too bad in itself but would need to be a little higher to achieve a profit.
Advised Betting Bank: We couldn’t see a betting bank recommended for the service but used a 100 point bank for the purposes of our trial.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are £37+VAT per month.
OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL
We followed the Scottish Football Income Booster for a 20 month period in the hope they could produce the kind of profits reported prior to our trial, but unfortunately at the end of our trial they finished 4 points down.
That still left the vast majority of the bank in tact and the ROI was only -1%, so no damage done but overall it’s a NEUTRAL verdict for this service.
