Tennis Profits – Final Review

Tennis Profits is a tennis trading membership site created by pro trader Paul Shires together with Matt Bisogno from Geegeez and the Goal Profits team.

It is designed to help members make consistent profits from live tennis markets on Betfair. The service offers in-depth education, live trading insights, and advanced statistical tools to give traders a professional edge when trading ATP and WTA matches.

When we first reviewed Tennis Profits, we were impressed by the depth of content and the professionalism behind it.

It was clearly built by experienced traders who understood both the technical and psychological sides of tennis trading.

Since then, the platform has continued to evolve — adding new features, refining its strategies, and enhancing the live stats and predictions available to members.

Let’s take a closer look at the main components of the service today.

Getting Started

The “Get Started” section provides a strong foundation for beginners and intermediate traders alike.

It’s essentially the onboarding area, guiding members through all the essentials of tennis trading before they get involved with live markets.

Here’s what’s included:

  • Mindset – One of the most overlooked aspects of trading, this module focuses on developing the right attitude, patience, and emotional control needed to succeed. Paul emphasises realistic expectations and long-term discipline over chasing quick profits.
  • Bank Management – Detailed advice on how to size stakes properly, manage risk, and preserve your bankroll through inevitable losing runs. This is practical, actionable, and essential reading for anyone serious about trading.
  • Trading Rules – Clear rules are laid out to help traders avoid impulsive decisions. These include when to enter or exit trades, when to sit out, and how to react to price movements.
  • Trading Basics – A great introduction to how the Betfair tennis markets work, including the difference between backing and laying, how odds move during matches, and how liquidity behaves across tours and tournaments.
  • FAQs – An ever-growing list of common questions answered clearly, making it easy for new members to find their footing without confusion.

Together, these sections provide a structured, confidence-building start for anyone new to tennis trading.

Tennis Trading Strategies

Tennis Profits comes with a collection of tried-and-tested trading strategies, each explained in detail with examples, setups, and video walkthroughs.

These are designed to work in different match scenarios — whether you prefer pre-match trading, in-play opportunities, or reacting to live momentum shifts.

The main strategies include:

1. Back the Server

A simple but powerful in-play strategy, this involves backing the server at key moments where their odds are expected to shorten if they hold serve. The guide explains when to enter, ideal scorelines, and how to exit safely.

2. Lay Set 1 Winner

Based on the statistical tendency for players who win the first set to lose focus or face a stronger response from their opponent in the second set. This is especially useful in women’s matches, where momentum swings are more frequent.

3. Swing Trader

A medium-term strategy designed to capture price swings over several games or sets. Perfect for those who like to trade around momentum shifts rather than point-by-point markets.

4. Lay the Leader

This strategy targets overreactions in the market when a player goes ahead — often when the odds shorten too aggressively. By laying the leader, traders can take advantage of natural corrections when matches swing back.

Each strategy is backed up with real data, live examples, and advice on when to sit out — a key part of successful trading.

Stats Section

This is where Tennis Profits really shines. The stats hub provides an immense amount of data and match intelligence that’s hard to find elsewhere — all presented in a trader-friendly format.

Live Matches

For all ATP and WTA live matches, members can view:

  • Comprehensive head-to-head records
  • Recent form and match history
  • Surface-specific stats
  • Ranking trends
  • Live in-play data such as break-point conversion, hold percentage, and serve stats

This data allows you to make informed trading decisions in real time, without having to bounce between different websites or databases.

Player Stats

The coverage is enormous, spanning the top 900 men and women players. Each player page includes their historical performance by surface, year, and opponent type — making it ideal for spotting trading angles or mismatches.

Match Predictions

Another valuable feature of Tennis Profits is the daily match predictions, complete with detailed breakdowns, confidence ratings, and suggested trading approaches.

Here are a couple of examples from recent coverage:

ATP Shanghai

Sonego 1.62 v Hanfmann

12 month and 2025 stats are stronger for Pegula.
Back Pegula round 2.20 and remove liability at 1.65.

Chat Room

The live chat room is one of the standout features of Tennis Profits. Here, members can follow live trades executed by professional trader Paul Shires in real time.

Paul explains his reasoning behind each trade — why he’s entering, where he’ll exit, and what he’s watching for — so you can learn as you watch. It’s effectively live coaching in action, and many members find this one feature alone worth the subscription fee.

The chat room also encourages community engagement, with members sharing their own observations, discussing matches, and supporting one another. It creates a collaborative learning environment rather than a one-way service.

Conclusion – Final Verdict

Tennis Profits continues to stand out as one of the most complete tennis trading education and analysis platforms available today.

From its step-by-step guidance for beginners to its live data, strategies, and professional insights, it provides everything you need to trade tennis seriously and profitably.

Pros:

  • Professional, data-driven trading education
  • Excellent coverage of ATP and WTA matches
  • Live stats and match predictions updated daily
  • Real-time chat room with pro trader guidance
  • Suitable for both beginners and advanced traders

Cons:

Overall, Tennis Profits remains highly recommended for anyone serious about learning tennis trading the right way.

Tennis Profits – New Review

23rd June 2022

Today we are starting a new trial of a tennis trading service called Tennis Profits.

Those of you familiar with the ever-popular football trading service Goal Profits will not be surprised to learn that they are branching out and bringing their considerable trading expertise to another sport.

The service is a collaboration between Paul Shires – who has run the Trade Shark Tennis service for over ten years now – Matt Bisogno of the excellent GeeGeez racing website – and Steve Brown of the aforementioned Goal Profits.

Paul is the main man doing the trading and he has been a full-time pro tennis trader for a number of years now. 

In terms of what the service is all about, it follows a similar structure to Goal Profits. There are:

  • Trading Guides – getting started etc
  • A stats database of over 900 male and female players
  • A live stats tool for trading matches in-play
  • A set of strategies for trading tennis matches
  • A live chat room where you can follow along with Paul and his trades
  • Full support from the team

So it’s pretty comprehensive and the aim is to provide a full set of tools for those who want to trade tennis successfully – much in the same way as Goal Profits does for football. 

To kick off the new service, Paul is even giving away a FREE guide which you can pick up. It’s a perfect time to get started with Wimbledon getting underway next week.

Meanwhile we’ll be taking a look at the nuts and bolts of the service and getting to grips with what it’s all about. We’ll report back here soon on what we’ve found.

In the meantime you can check out Tennis Profits for yourself here.

Lucrative Rackets – Full Review

 

Lucrative Rackets is a tennis betting service launched in early 2024 by the team behind Lucrative MMA Betting, which previously passed a trial here at Honest Betting Reviews with flying colours.

Tips are provided across various tennis tours, including down to the lower levels of Challenger and ITF events.

Most of the bets are in the match odds market but some side markets such as set score, handicap and the like are used. 

Bets are sent via the Telegram messenger app. 

We were hopeful that this service would deliver strong results, and overall, we are pleased to say that it has performed well.

During our four-month trial, Lucrative Rackets generated +17 points profit at a solid 59% strike rate and a 12% ROI.

These are commendable numbers in tennis betting, where achieving consistent profitability can be challenging.

Our Experience During the Trial

Our major concern with this service was price availability however.

Just over half the bets during our trial were in Challenger/ITF events and over half were in doubles matches, with quite a small proportion in singles ATP/WTA events.

There were some major odds movements on these more illiquid markets. For instance, prices could drop significantly within minutes on ITF doubles and Challenger-level matches. 

Betting on these markets also brings the risk of account restrictions from the bookies and these markets are not typically available on the exchanges – or have very little liquidity if they are available. 

So we do have a question mark about how practical this service is to follow. Certainly if you are following the service you need to be lightning fast to get the bets on and be prepared for some possible account restrictions. 

It is also worth noting that on the – albeit limited – sample size of our trial, the profit for the trial did come from the Challenger/ITF events, whilst the ATP/WTA events ended up breaking even. 

As we say, this was a relatively small sample size so may not be the case in the long run, but is something to note from our trial in any event. 

Overall, we are prepared to give Lucrative Rackets a narrow PASSED rating as it did achieve positive results during our trial. 

The strike rate, ROI, and overall bank growth were all commendable and clearly the tipster does  have an edge in the markets tipped in. 

However, this does come with a major health warning that a lot of the markets tipped in are illiquid and odds crash quickly. 

So it is important to bear this in mind and be prepared to act quickly when receiving the tips if you want to get close to the advised prices. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out via the Telegram messenger app. There is normally plenty of time to get the bets on and with around 1-2 bets per day on average the workload is pretty manageable. 

Availability of prices: As discussed above, price availability was an issue during our trial, with over half the tips coming in illiquid, lower tier events and doubles matches.

The first thing you will need is a good spread of bookmaker accounts (especially Bet365, but also the likes of Ladbrokes, DraftKings, Neds, Bovada & 10Bet would be useful), secondly to be able to act very quickly once tips are posted on Telegram, and thirdly be prepared that you may suffer account restrictions if using soft books like Bet365.  

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was impressive at 59% and we didn’t experience any extended drawdowns during our trial which was good. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point betting bank is recommended for following the service. That seems fairly reasonable to us and was never in jeopardy during our trial. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £67, so this is probably a service for serious bettors in the main. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Lucrative Rackets delivered a solid performance in our trial, generating +17 points profit, a 12% ROI, and a 59% strike rate.

However, the heavy focus on illiquid markets like ITF and Challenger doubles matches makes it tough to obtain advised prices, and account restrictions could be an issue.

While the tipster appears to have an edge, success will largely depend on how quickly you can place bets and whether you have access to the necessary bookmaker accounts.

Overall, we are giving Lucrative Rackets a narrow PASSED rating, but with a strong caution regarding price availability.

Lucrative Rackets – Results Update

23rd December 2024

Tennis tipster Lucrative Rackets has continued their good run, with a profit of 6 points made at advised prices since our last update. 

That means they are now 15 points up for our trial overall at advised prices. 

You can view full results here. 

As mentioned last time, prices tend to get hit pretty hard on the more illiquid markets such as ITF doubles matches. 

You have to move very fast if you want to get anything like the advised prices on those bets. 

Some of the tips are in more mainstream ATP and WTA matches where the odds are more achievable however, so it’s a question of just doing the best you can on each tip with this service really. 

It’s a quiet period for this service at the moment with no bets in December as the tennis season has wound down, but they will be back up and running again in January for the events down under.

Lucrative Rackets – Results Update

5th September 2024

It’s been a slightly slow start to our trial of tennis tipster Lucrative Rackets, with a loss of 4 points made for our trial to date. 

You can view full results here. 

We have found issues here with price availability, as some of the bets are on very illiquid markets such as ITF doubles matches. 

The odds on those bets go very quickly and can move in quite significantly. 

For example, a tip given at 1.83 can move into 1.66 in a matter of minutes or a tip given at 1.66 can hit 1.4.

So if following the service you either have to act extremely quickly or accept you may not achieve the advised odds on some of the bets.

Lucrative Rackets – New Review

5th September 2024

We are starting a new review today of a tennis betting service called Lucrative Rackets

This is a service that started up on 1st January this year and it comes from the same team behind the Lucrative MMA Betting Tipster service, which passed a trial here at HBR with flying colours back in 2022. 

The new tennis service has produced some impressive results so far, with 92 points profit made at a strike rate of 60% and a return on investment (ROI) of 18%

Those are really strong stats in tennis betting, where an ROI of between 5 and 10% is typically considered very good. 

The tips come in a variety of tours, including the main ATP and WTA Tours but also the smaller ITF events and in doubles matches as well as singles. 

A variety of markets are also used, including match odds, game handicaps, set betting, breaks of serve and more.

Members of the service receive the tips via the Telegram app, with advised odds and lowest acceptable odds included. 

We have been looking out for a good tennis tipster for a while so let’s hope this one can deliver the goods under live trial conditions. 

We started receiving tips on 30th August so will record results from then. 

As usual we will update results here as we go along so you can see how they are getting on.

In the meantime you can check out Lucrative Rackets for yourself here.
