Rocket Scientists Look Away – Football Betting Made Easy

When I tell people about my gambling activities, their reaction usually follows a three step pattern:

  1. Concern for my well being.
  2. Intrigued that you can actually make money betting.
  3.  Laugh and say it all sounds a bit complex to them – They’ll stick to betting on the horse with the funniest name in the Grand National.

But you don’t need a degree in rocket science to make money, especially with football betting. In fact I’ll prove it to you….

An Easy To Follow Football Tipster

Take for example the football tipster service we reviewed in our latest Smart Betting Club magazine (published earlier this week), which is simplicity itself to follow.

They are a long-established football match-ratings and betting advice service who have developed a huge database on the sport. You can follow them in 2 ways…

  1. Follow some of their established football systems and pick up their tips each week. OR
  2. Use their database and ratings to build your own football systems.

The focus of our review was on two of these established football systems, both of which have excellent results and are extremely easy to follow. Allow me to reveal more… Continue reading

And The Award For Best Tipster Goes To…

We know that finding good tipsters that can genuinely make you money betting can be difficult and at times, a bit like trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Which is why in the latest SBC magazine we unveiled the winners of our 2013 Tipster & Betting Awards, to try and reveal to you the tipsters who win regularly. As voted for by the people who use them day in, day out – SBC members, thus ensuring that those scooping the best awards are bonafide money making tipsters.

To find the winners for the awards, we asked each SBC member to vote for their top tipsters of the past year in 5 different categories:

  • Best Sports Betting Tipster (i.e. anyone not a horse racing tipster)
  • Best Horse Racing Tipster
  • Best Football Only Tipster
  • Best Tipster Newcomer
  • Best Overall Tipster (The biggie!)

The top 3 tipsters in each category won Gold, Silver & Bronze, and the full results rundown can be found in our very latest SBC magazine. Many of those that scooped a prize have already started to display their award rosettes with pride!

Best Overall Tipster

As part of our 2013 Tipster & Betting Awards, we also wanted to find out the other services our members rated as the most useful, so there are awards in other categories such as Best Betting Website and Best Bookmaker.

We also asked each member happy to answer anonymously, just how much money they had made betting in 2012, to get a range on the profits and loss being made, which also makes for fascinating reading.

The full details of our 2013 Tipster & Betting Awards can now be found in our latest SBC magazine (Issue 79), which was released earlier this week. You can gain instant access to this by signing up as an SBC member right away.

The Bookie Tricks To Watch Out For!

There are a few things in the betting world that make me feel sick to the pit of my stomach…

The recurring nightmare I have featuring John McCririck prouncing around in his underpants on Celebrity Big Brother aside, recently it’s been the pitiful way that bookmakers are trying so hard to be ‘the punters friend’, which is really starting to get my goat.

Whether it be incessant matey tweeting, giving ‘betting tips’ or TV adverts declaring they have the best odds, they are doing their best to hide their real intentions from punters.

The reason? Well quite simply when it comes to betting, the battle lines are clearly drawn. The bookies only make a profit when you lose.

There are a few exceptions, such as the likes of Pinnacle Sports and others mainly based out in Asia. However if we are talking about many of the UK’s best known bookies, then, first and foremost they are only interested in taking your hard earned cash off you (By any means possible!).

And what’s more, they use a number of ways and means to do it, some of which are very subtle. Therefore here at SBC, we want to share these secrets and help you wise up to the bookies tricks, so with that in mind here are my top tips on what to watch out for!
