This weekend sees the start of the 1st round of the FA Cup, which is always a good point to reflect on the first few months of football betting action this season.

…And if you like a few other punters I have spoken to this season have had a tough start to the season betting-wise, today I have some really interesting stats that might well help you! (plus details on possibly the worst football betting system)

With the help of the Winbobatoo football service, I have compiled betting data for the season so far, which show a huge bias depending on whether you have been backing predominantly home or away football teams.

For example, if this season you had simply backed every single home side in the top 5 English leagues and the SPL, you would actually be showing a 21.93 pt profit (at single 1 pt stakes) and a Return on Investment of 4.01%!

This is because there have been 7% more home wins this season than last with 46% in 2013/14 compared to just 39% in 2012/13.

Conversely if only backing away teams, you will have made a 68.01 pt loss (-13.36% ROI) with the key stat that there have been 7% fewer away wins this season compared to last (27% compared to 34%). Continue reading →

But just exactly how do we come up with these top rated tipsters? And more importantly…how can you do the same and quickly sift the tipster wheat from the chaff?

Well one very straight-forward way to do this is by looking at ‘betting bank’ growth…or as we term it ‘Return on Capital’ or ROC. Allow me to explain why its essential to finding a good tipster and just how our 5 top footy tipsters stack up against it. Continue reading →

Unless you have been living under a rock this week, you won’t have failed to notice the fact the English football season gets back underway tomorrow, and with it the chance to make money betting once again.

But did you know that less than 3% of all gamblers actually make a profit from their betting? Or written another way – 97% either break even or make a loss?

It’s a sobering stat and goes a long way to explaining just why it is key to have the right information and guidance when it comes to betting. Without it, you are likely to form one of the 97% that lose.

To help you become part of the 3% elite, YOU need to know two things.

1) What to bet on; and more importantly
2) What not to bet on.

As punters, we often waste so much money on bets that we should quite simply just avoid.  Today I want to help you identify these bets with the help of our new season Football Betting & Tipster Guide. In this we interviewed 10 of the best football brains for their help, tips and expertise on the new season ahead.

One of the key questions I asked was: “What kind of bets – however attractive they seem on paper – should SBC members avoid at all costs?”

Here then, without further ado are my top 6 tips on avoiding mug football bets (the type the 3% of winning punters don’t touch!) for the new season: Continue reading →
