Soccer Bank Builder – Full Review

 

We have completed our seven‐month live trial of Soccer Bank Builder, a football betting service that aims to grow your bank steadily using a simple one-bet-a-day strategy.

It focuses on high strike-rate, low odds selections typically priced between 1.15 and 1.40. The service covers a range of markets including match odds, over/under goals, double chance and more. 

They recommend an approach of staking 10% of the bank on each selection.

We tracked results for both this staking approach and one point level stakes. The results recorded above are for one point level staking. 

The 10% staking is an aggressive approach and one we were cautious about from the start. While it can grow a bank rapidly during a winning streak, it also magnifies losses during a downturn – and that volatility certainly played out during our trial.

Performance Summary

In terms of strike rate, the service did exactly what it set out to do – maintaining a very healthy 75% win rate during our trial.

However, despite this, the service ended 3 points down overall at level stakes and recorded a 15% loss in bank using the advised 10% staking.

There were several swings throughout the trial, with the 10% staking approach showing impressive growth at times (up as much as 29 points at one stage), but ultimately a run of losers hit hard, and the bank steadily declined in the final few months.

This confirmed what we suspected going in – while high strike rate systems using percentage staking can be appealing, they’re very sensitive to short losing runs, especially with something as aggressive as 10% stakes.

The recalculation of stakes after every bet meant that even a small dip could lead to disproportionately larger losses, which is exactly what we saw during the trial. 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out via e-mail, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon on the day of matches. 

On the plus side, the service is very easy to follow, with just one bet a day and no confusing write-ups or complex analysis.

It’s also time-friendly – ideal for those who don’t want to be glued to their phone or computer waiting for multiple bets.

Availability of prices: Price availability was not an issue during our trial as the markets tipped in are very liquid and it would take a huge amount of money to shift markets when you backing big favourites at odds of around 1.2-1.4 in football matches. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was good on the face of it at 75% but would have needed to be a little higher to generate a profit at the odds tipped at. 

Advised Betting Bank: As discussed above, a 10% staking approach is recommended for following the service, which we consider a little too aggressive and did result in some sustained losses.

Utilising a one-point level stakes approach, we used a 20 point bank which seemed more sensible to us. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are a free 7 day trial followed by a subscription of £19.99 per month. 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Overall then, Soccer Bank Builder proved to be a solid but ultimately underwhelming performer during our trial.

The high strike rate is commendable and the simplicity of the service is certainly attractive, but it made a loss at both level stakes and 10% staking, with the latter performing notably worse during our trial. 

We’re awarding Soccer Bank Builder a NEUTRAL rating for now. With some tweaks – such as lowering the stake to 5% or switching to level staking – this could be a service worth revisiting in the future. But as things stand, it simply did not perform well enough in our trial to warrant a higher rating.

Staking 10% of the bank on each bet, they have made a loss of 29 points since our last update and are 8 points down for our trial to date. 

So this illustrates once again what we have been talking about in previous updates in terms of a run of losers hitting the 10% staking approach more than level stakes.

Whilst level stakes has made just a small loss since our last update, the 10% staking has suffered a significant hit. 

That’s the risk you take with it – when things are going well it can really snowball but a few losers can hit the bank quite hard.

Whilst level stakes has more or less broken even over the last month, the 10% staking has suffered a bit of a hit. 

That’s the risk you take with it – when things are going well it can really snowball but a few losers can hit the bank quite hard.

Soccer Bank Builder – Results Update

21st October 2024

It’s been a good time lately for football betting service Soccer Bank Builder, with a profit of 2.75 points made to 1-point level stakes since our last update. 

That means they are now 3.26 points up for our trial overall at 1-point level stakes.

You can view full results here.

Staking 10% of the bank on each bet, they have made 28 points profit since our last update and are 29 points up for our trial to date. 

So you can really see the difference now in the 10% staking approach versus level stakes. When you get on a run of winners like they have done lately then the bank can really grow quickly with the 10% staking approach. 

Obviously on the downside a run of losers can hit the bank hard but for the moment the 10% staking approach is working well.

Soccer Bank Builder – Results Update

So a quiet start so far but no damage done to the bank so let’s see if they can get things moving forward over the next month.

Soccer Bank Builder – New Review

16th August 2024

We are starting a new trial today of a football betting service called Soccer Bank Builder

This is a strategy that claims to have turned £100 into £926 in just 9 months. 

It says it has done this through a careful one bet a day strategy aimed to steadily grow the betting bank. 

It uses a staking system of 10% of the bank on each bet and then recalculating the stake after every bet. 

That is quite an aggressive approach and whilst on the one hand we can see how that might be able to turn £100 into over £900 in the space of 9 months, it is also risky. 

We have seen similar approaches go close to going bust so it might be more prudent to use a lower stake (say 5%) on each bet. 

In any event, for the purposes of our review we will use the 10% staking approach and also record results to one-point level stakes as usual. 

It looks like the bets will be mainly at very short odds, which makes sense with the staking plan so hopefully the strike rate will also be high. 

At one bet a day it should be nice and simple to follow so let’s see how it gets on under live trial conditions. 

We will kick things off today and will report back soon here on how it’s getting on. 

In the meantime you can check out Soccer Bank Builder for yourself here.
