Navigating The Tipster World Profitably – What My Betting Has Taught Me (And How It Can Help You)

Posted on by Josh P

What is the point of a tipster? Profit on paper or in the punter’s pocket?
Prices, timing, account restrictions and the realities of betting on tips.
Introduction

I’m Josh, an SBC member and full-time punter. In addition to my own racing betting, I use tipsters to diversify my income alongside doing some work for Pete at the SBC. 

Here, I am trying to write about tipsters from a follower’s perspective. Hopefully, I can provide some insight by referencing my own betting experiences and discussing the tipping industry as I see it. To begin with, I write about things as they are at first glance, with the mechanics of tipping and following being the main point of discussion. The ‘Elephant In The Room’ may make a lot of these observations moot, but it is only fair to take all involved at face value.

SBC Podcast #52 ?: David Lovell From The Bookmaker DragonBet

Posted on by Josh P

In the latest Smart Betting Club Podcast I am joined by ‘poacher turned gamekeeper’ David Lovell, who is one half of the duo that runs the independent bookmaking firm, DragonBet alongside his brother, James.

Immersed in the betting world from an early age thanks to their bookmaking father, John Lovell, both David and James have recently launched dragonbet.co.uk to go alongside their on-course bookmaking in Wales.

David provides a refreshing vision for what a bookmaker should be as we discuss the mechanics of running a smaller firm and how they differentiate themselves from the faceless corporate books.

Beating the BSP: Introducing Achievable Value

Posted on by Josh P

Eight free tipsters with combined annual savings over £850is a brilliant benefit of SBC Membership. How about nine?

Well, that’s what we have for you today as I would like to introduce a brand new horse racing tipster, Achievable Value.

This service has been proofing to us since September and has recorded a very encouraging 85.7 points @ 10.13% ROI during this period.

Best of all – this is at Betfair SP (after commission) and based on 850 bets during this period.

To add a further boost to these figures, the brains behind ‘Achievable Value’ is disappointed with the performance in the proofing period as it is below his historical returns!

Independent Bookmakers Guide

Posted on by Peter Ling

Account restrictions and limits are more common than ever. Beat a price or profit enough and the well-advertised ‘Oddschecker firms’ will often reduce maximum stakes to pennies or stop you betting altogether.

This can be disheartening, but there are alternatives to the big bookmakers and exchanges in the form of smaller, independent bookmakers and on this page, you can explore some of the information we have collated on just a few of the firms out there.

Many of these bookmakers are experienced layers, fully licensed and with years of history behind them, yet perhaps not the marketing budgets or presence of the likes of Bet365, Betfair and their ilk.

Although you may not get all of the frills that are widely advertised by the big Oddschecker bookmakers, many independents offer concessions and special incentives such as sign up offers, extra place races, Best Odds Guaranteed, fallers insurance, daily boosts and cashback on any monthly losses.
