Serve It Up Tennis Tips Final Review
It has been a somewhat disappointing trial for Serve It Up Tennis Tips, who have ended up 16 points down after 5 months of tipping.
That represents a 31% bank loss and -7% return on investment, which are not quite up to the standard we have come to expect of Betting Gods services in general.
But more worrying for us was the considerable drawdown experienced during the trial. Here are the results in graph format:
Serve It Up Tennis Tips Results Graph
As you can see on the graph, at one point we were 46 points down and with a 50 point bank advised, that represents a 92% loss of the bank.
This is far worse than any service should endure and we have to say again highlights an issue with the size of betting banks being advised by some tipsters.
For a service that tips in up to 10 point unit stakes, 50 points was frankly never going to be enough. We think a minimum 150 point bank should be advised, given the drawdown experienced during the trial plus the unit staking.
We do feel we have to come down hard on services that don’t advise sufficient bank sizes to cover their own drawdowns, so this service gets a failed rating from us unfortunately.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: Good – there are only around 5 bets per week so minimal work is involved and with tennis being a very liquid market on Betfair, there was not much of a problem getting the bets on.
Availability of prices: Good – as above, prices were generally freely available via either Betfair or the bookies. However, sometimes prices were not given with tips and the results published on the website were not always correctly updated.
Strike rate: At just 29%, the strike rate was somewhat below what would be required for the service to make a profit when tipping at these odds.
Advised Betting Bank: A 50 point bank was advised but clearly this was not enough as we were 46 points down at one stage. We would suggest a bank of at least 150 points.
Subscription costs: £19.95/month, £49.95/quarter or £129.95 for life
OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED
Any service that loses 92% of its advised bank is not one many people are going to stick with and for this reason alone, we feel we have to give a failed rating to Serve It Up Tennis Tips.
The fact that they tip up to 10 points on some bets means 50 points was never going to be a big enough bank and this was borne out during the trial.
However, even leaving bank size issues aside, the end results for the trial were disappointing too, with a 31% loss of the bank and -7% ROI.
We have come to expect very high standards from Betting Gods services and unfortunately this one has not quite measured up.
So our search for a winning tennis tipster goes on…
