Make £100+ A Day From Sports Betting In 2023

How do you make a £100 a day from sports betting?

Is this even possible!

On this site for the past 5+ years I’ve been documenting my progress in the sports betting markets. In an attempt to make a total of £1,000,000 profit.

Over a period of 65 months a profit of £161,119 has been made. Which is pretty far off a million but still shows that money can be made with the right approach.

During 2022 a profit of £34,406 has been made after 265 days.

If we break that down. This works out at £129.80 a day (£34,406/265).

In today’s article we are going to take a look at the strategies used to make over £100 a day. Starting with the easiest strategies that you can use, then moving on to more advanced ones.

You won’t need to use all of these strategies, some of the simplest strategies can be very profitable and scaled up to make over £100 a day. However it is best to cover them all, as its always good to have multiple ways to profit from the bookmakers in your back pocket.

Matched Betting And Arbitrage

Like taking candy from a baby!

These strategies are without doubt the easiest way to make money from the world of sports betting. In fact in all my years of trying to make money online. Matched betting is the easiest method I have found to make tax free income online.

Alright so after that build up what exactly is matched betting?

Matched betting uses bookmaker offers and promotions to consistently secure very low risk profits. From matched betting you can expect to make anything from a few hundred pounds to potentially thousands

Matched Betting Offers — Snippet of a few sign up offers on offer.

Matched betting example

Let’s use the Bet365 sign up offer as example.

This is one of the best offers that is available at the moment!

You have to bet £10 to receive £50 in bet credits. Let’s take a look at a very low risk way of taking advantage of this offer.

Which will guarantee a profit of around £44 to put in your back pocket.

The first thing we want to do is find a bet on Bet365 that is similar odds to that of a betting exchange. (Betting exchanges allow us to place a lay bet which means that we act like a bookmaker. Laying essentially let’s us bet on two outcomes.)

In the example above I have used a matched betting calculator to give you a clear indication of how this works. By betting our initial £10 on Mansfield at 2.05 and then laying it on Smarkets at 2.04.

No matter the outcome we will stand to lose £0.06. When this bet settles Bet365 will hand us a £50 free bet, which if we just bet with on its own would make this offer worthwhile.

What we can do however is use a similar backing and laying approach to guarantee we end up with a profit.

Now again we look for odds that are similar on Bet365 and on the betting exchanges.

In the above image you can see I found Elanga to score the first goal at 11.00 to back with Bet365 and 11.00 to lay with Smarkets. By covering both outcomes a profit of £44.60 can be locked in from the free £50 bet.

This is why matched betting is an incredibly powerful strategy to use!

It is low risk and the easiest way to start making money from sports betting.

Arbitrage Betting Example

Let’s move on to arbitrage betting which is similar to matched betting in that is very low risk. Arbitrage betting however doesn’t use offers and promotions.

Profit is made when there is a difference in the odds between a bookmaker and exchange which allows us to back all outcomes to generate a small profit.

Here is an example of a good arbitrage bet.

Sportnation are offering Burton at back odds of 2.3 and Burton are also available to lay at odds of 2.18.

Whenever you can back a selection at bigger odds then you can lay, a profit can be made! (Much like buying a stock and selling it at a lower price.)

Make £100 a day sports betting

Plugging this in to an arbitrage calculator. You can see a profit of £5.50 could be locked due the difference in back odds and lay odds.

Matched betting and arbitrage are great strategies to get started with!

If you want to learn more we have two in-depth guides on both matched betting arbitrage below.

Exploiting Casino Offers

Next up we are going to look at exploiting casino offers to make long term profits. Not exactly sports betting however many bookmakers also offer a casino and it is worth knowing how to exploit profitable bonus offers.

It should be noted that this is a level of risk that is higher then matched betting and arbitrage. Exploiting casino offers however be very lucrative!

How exploiting casino offers works.

We can make money from casino offers and bonuses. When the offers flip the advantage from the casino to the player. This happens because casino’s are willing to lose money initially on these offers in order to recoup it from long term gamblers.

If we only choose to play when the advantage is flipped over to us. Then we will win long term!

Below is a video where I walk you through an offer and explain why it is profitable.

Value Betting

If you are fairly new to sports betting, initially you would be better off sticking with the first 3 strategies. Using these first 3 strategies you should be able to make your first £1000 or more from sports betting.

Those that choose to multi account can push these strategies to the £100 a day profit mark. (Below is a video explaining multi accounting for those that are not familiar with it.)

Watch this video on YouTube

Moving on to more of an advanced method.

Value betting uses information from betting exchanges and sharp bookmakers to highlight when slower moving soft bookmakers are offering value.

We can find value bet using a number of different ways however the easiest way to find value bets is by comparing bookmaker’s odds to the odds of a betting exchange.

Bookmaker’s frequently boost prices, now sometimes these “odds boosts”are basically fictional and the “boosted” prices offer no value at all. On other occasions however these boosts can be very profitable.

These are great value bets as indicated by the betting exchanges.

On Oddsmonkey they have a community forum where value boosts are highlighted.

In the above image you can see Joe Joyce to win by KO (boxing) was boosted to odds of 5.0 whilst it was a lay price of 4.4 on Betfair. Unibet had also boosted Ronaldo first goal scorer to odds of 5.0 whilst he was 4.5 on the Smarkets exchange.

There is a lot of data that shows consistently backing at odds greater then the betting exchange prices is profitable long term. Value betting is one of the key strategies I use in today’s markets and it is very profitable.

Interested in learning more about value betting. We have a guide which can walk you through multiple different ways to find value bets.

Value Betting Guide

Betfair Trading

Lastly we are going to take a look at Betfair trading.

Out of all of the strategies this is probably the hardest one to master. There are so many options with exchange trading that people often get lost in the shuffle.

Moving from sport to sport, strategy to strategy. Then ultimately becoming so frustrated by it that they abandon it completely. Citing that it is impossible to make money from trading on the betting exchanges.

It is far from impossible but it isn’t easy either. You have to be prepared to spend some time learning the markets and gaining experience.

Let’s take a look at my favorite Betfair trading strategy that is suitable for beginners!

Pre Event Trading

One huge advantage of the betting exchanges is that you can trade betting odds. By backing and laying prices (or laying then backing) you can lock in a profit before the game has even begun.

In the video below I explain pre event trading and show 3 different approaches that you can use to tackle the markets.

Make Money Betting Premier League Football Tips

The Premier League is renowned as being the most exciting football league on the planet. Record viewing figures and passionate fan bases around the world suggest this is the truth.

So making money betting Premier League football tips would be an enjoyable way for many to start making an extra income.

But is this even possible?

Yes it is, let’s take a look at exactly how you can do that.

Make Money Betting Premier League Football Tips

Firstly let’s take a look at Premier League tips that you need to avoid. There are plenty of Premier League tipsters and sites that will promise much but deliver only losses.

If you want to make money from sports betting in the long, you need to be able to identify these type of tipsters.

Google search “Best Premier League Tips” and the first page will be dominated by websites that look similar to this. These sites are bookmaker affiliates.

This means that when they refer a customer to a bookmaker. They then take a cut of the revenue that punter generates. What you will notice on these sites is that they will do everything possible to get you to click on a bookmaker link.

Affiliate sites are littered with links on every page.

These bookmaker sites only make money when you lose, which in turn means the business model of these affiliate sites is to send as many losing customers as possible to the bookmaker.

As you can then imagine, the tips that these sites provide are not meant to help you make money. They are merely a way to send you to the bookmaker in the hope you lose long term.

That is why tips from any site that tries to send you directly to the bookmaker through an affiliate link. Are almost always going to be poorly researched and offer no long term value.

Now that you know this, you can see look for the warning signs on any of these Premier League sites.

Best Premier League Football Tipsters

So the are there actually any good Premier League football tipsters worth following?

Yes there is!

One website that I rate the betting previews and podcasts of is Matchbook Insights.

Matchbook are a betting exchange that also produce betting content.

They differ to traditional bookmakers in that they don’t make money from losing bettors. Their business model works on charging a 2% commission on winning bets. This means that even if customers are winning, then they are still making a profit from them.

In my opinion knowing that a site isn’t directly profiting from losing sports sports bettors. Reassures me that the tips are now designed to help me lose money.

This is evident with Matchbook and has lead to them working alongside professional bettors. That produce excellent betting previews that have well thought out and well reasoned Premier League betting tips.

Another site that is worth highlighting is Betting.Betfair.

They are also a betting exchange that charge a commission rather then looking to profit directly from the losses of their customers. Similar to Matchbook they produce excellent Premier League betting advice and tips from experts around the globe.

Both of these sites offer much better Premier League tips and predictions. In comparison to the generic affiliate sites which you will find on the first page of most google searches.

Who are only interested in profiting from your losses!

Other Ways To Profit From Betting On The Premier League

I am going to let you in on a little secret.

As someone that has been betting, trading and profiting from sports betting for many years now.

Let me tell you, there are much easier ways to make money from the sports betting markets then following Premier League tips. In fact due to the huge amount of money staked globally on the Premier League.

It is one of the harder markets to profit from.

If you are interested in purely making money from sports betting then there are much better strategies!

Matched Betting

Matched betting is a strategy that is profitable on any football match in any football league. It is also a profitable strategy to use on any sport.

We noted earlier that bookmakers are looking for long term losing bettors. They are all battling each other for new customers.

This leads to bookmaker’s offering sign up promotions and recurring customer promotions as they compete with each other.

Smart bettors that know this can utilize these promotions to their advantage in order to make regular profits.

By only taking advantage of these type of promotions, you secure hundreds of pounds in profit.

This is possible by covering all outcomes of event for a very small loss, to then be given a free bet which you can extract a profit from.

Let’s take Bet365’s sign up offer for example.

Bet £10 and get £50 in free bet credits!

I used a matched calculator to show how this works. We can bet our initial £10 on Mansfield at odds of 2.05 and lay it on a betting exchange.

A lay bet is basically the opposite of a back bet. We are betting that Mansfield do not win.

By backing and laying the same selection we have covered all outcomes of the event. As you can see from the image this guarantee’s that a loss of £0.06.

Great you lost £0.06 well done

Hold on for a minute, because of the initial bet we just made. Bet365 will put a nice £50 free bet reward in our account. This allows us then to use the exact same process on the free bet to guarantee a profit.

As you can see a profit of £44.54 would have been made from this process.

Matched betting is an excellent strategy to use on the sports betting markets. If it is something that you want to learn more about and get a expert help with.

My advice would be to sign up for a free trial of Oddsmonkey’s matched betting service, that will enable you to get to grips with it.

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – August 2022 Results

August was a good month.

The major football leagues returned, which meant a big increase in trading and value bets.

Spent a week in the beautiful Greek island of Corfu with the family. Which was a welcome break after a couple of years of covid making traveling abroad difficult.

Simplified my betting this month by removing the golf bets and trimming down the horse racing portfolio. This month I came to a similar realization as Steve from https://www.daily25.com/.

That the majority of my profit comes from one source. Which without sounding too much like an arrogant prick is from my own betting and trading. Over the years I have used multiple tipsters but outside of Beth Bet and Trademate (Which aren’t strictly tipsters) the time spent hasn’t really been worth while.

Early on in the month I decided to focus more on my own approaches, (scaling them up, improving them). Spending less time on getting tipster bets on.

Let’s take a look at how things went in Month 65.

Making A Million

Value Betting/Trading

Big increase in the volume of bets this month with the major football leagues kicking off. This also meant more pre match trading opportunities cropping up.

Fafabet

The biggest single winning bet I had on was with Fafabet. They gave out a nice 50% refund on a max bet of £200 which is very rare these day.

I took a straight bet on the draw in Leeds vs Everton game as it looked like it had some value, fortunately the draw came in. Likely that is the last offer I see from them.

Value Bets August 2022

It was a really strong month for value betting and trading. After 2 consecutive months that had been below par. Was nice to get some reassurance that the methods are still working.

In total there were 302 bets made.

A total profit of £4157 was made.

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

Did a few more casino offers this month and the daily bet £25 get £5 free on Fishin Frenzy, from Betfair was nice addition.

Betfair Fishin

Not sure why they started throwing offers my way again, after a year or two of nothing. Hit a few nice wins this month and a profit of £242 was made.

Smart Sports Betting Community/MMA Results

A low volume month in August for MMA betting. However more importantly is was a profitable one.

MMA Bets August 2022

It wasn’t looking too good for Leon Edwards going in to round 5 of his fight with Kamaru Usman. That was until he landed a picture perfect head kick that Mirko Cro Cop would have been proud of becoming the new Welterweight champion of the world.

Watch this video on YouTube

Capping a profitable month of mma and boxing bets.

A profit of £280 was made this month from 6 bets.

Horse Racing Tipsters

As mentioned at the start of this article I cut down on the horse racing tipsters I was using.

Hansbury Racing has an excellent long term record however I realized I wasn’t comfortable with the long losing runs you get betting at higher odds. Which is a similar reason to why I stopped betting golf. Missing winners at big odds is very frustrating and can extend those losing runs that your bound to go through even more.

From the 10th of August I decided just to follow Kieran Ward’s Value Tips (free SBC tipster.)

Not as regimented as before, but when I see the email come through and I am at my computer I’ll place the bet.

Horse Bets August

Alongside this I also bet horses using one of my own methods, which is based around odds movement.

A profit of £305 was made from horse racing bets this month.

FTS Systems

August saw the first month for the FTS systems to kick in. Things didn’t get off to a great start as I was around £1k in the red at one point. However a recovery was made by the end of the month.

It’s been really interesting using the FTS database and confirming some bias’s that exist in the market. Using that I have also been able to see some trends for pre match trading.

Very optimistic that I can use this data to profit more from the exchanges going forward.

Overall a profit of £138 was made from my FTS systems.

Misc And Thoughts

Profit/loss was misc bets/trades this month was £308.

These are bets/trades that I haven’t recorded in any other section but are added/removed from the daily totals.

A strong month to kick off the new season. Feel like I have made a good decision focusing more time on my own methods over tipsters. Time will tell I suppose.

Overall very happy with everything this month, excited to see how things look at the end of the year.

Thanks for reading!

Types of Gambling Options at Best Horse Racing Gambling Sites

In this article we are going to take a look at the different type of bets you can make in the American horse racing markets.

There are generally two gambling options for horse racing bets, depending on how daring you want to be. Most bettors prefer to stick with straight bets with lower odds, while others would instead opt for exotic bets with higher odds.

In this guide, we’ll discuss the various gambling options that can help you make better decisions and bet like a pro at some of the best horse racing gambling sites.

Horse Racing Bets

Straight Bets

There are a couple of exciting gambling options under the straight bet types. It is also a standard player option because it’s easy to understand. It involves choosing a horse and gambling on it to come in first, second, or third.

Win Bet

The simplest on the list is gambling on your horse to win the race, which has the highest odds too. So if your horse wins the race, you win the bet and cash your ticket.

Place Bet

This option is similar to the win bet but throws more weight behind your winning chances. Hence, you are wagering on your horse to finish first or second. The odds here are lower than the win bet, though.

Show Bet

Show bets offer the lowest odds among the three options. Once you choose a horse, you wager on it to come in first, second, or third. The additional possibility increases your chances of winning and reduces your odds.

Across the Board Set

Think of this as a combination of all the gambling options above. So when you bet two dollars on the number three horse across the board, it means you’ve placed a bet on it to win, place or show on a single ticket.

The total bet will be worth six dollars since you’ve made complete bets on three scenarios. You can combine them differently, such as win/place, win/show, etc. Each combo will cost you a separate bet but will be on a single ticket.

Exotic Bets

Exotic wagers differ from straight ones because they allow you to bet on multiple horses in a single wager. However, the combination means you’re up against more difficult odds because it’s more complicated to win than straight wagers. Asides from taking more weight off your pocket, they also require advanced knowledge of horse racing.

The good news is that you get much greater odds, so it’s a game with higher risk and rewards. There are two types of exotic bets; horizontal wagers and vertical wagers.

Horizontal Bets

Think of parlay bets when you see horizontal wagers because you get to select winners of consecutive races before the first race series begins. There are different combos here too, which include Daily Double, Pick 3, Pick 4, and others.

Daily Double

This variation of horizontal bets allows you to pick the winner of two consecutive races before the race starts. So if you like the number one horse, you can want it to win the first race, then choose another to win the next race; you can also select number one to win both races if you believe it can.

Pick 3

Pick 3 is similar to the Daily Double variation because you have to select the winner of consecutive races, but this time, three races ahead. Again, ensure you know the minimum wager your gambling site provides.

The parlay system here differs from conventional ones because you aren’t required to make multiple bets on multiple outcomes. For example, instead of gambling$3 on a parlay bet (with three variations) with a minimum bet of $1, you can bet $1 on the winner of all three races.

Pick 4

Pick 4 is a four-race parlay equivalent to three race parlays discussed earlier. So you have to pick the winner of four consecutive games before the first race. Each combination will cost you the same amount. It works the same way for the Pick 5 and Pick 6 gambling options.

Vertical Bets

Vertical wagers allow you to use select the finishing order of a race. Like horizontal wagers, it starts from two (Exacta) to three (trifecta) and four (superfecta). Exotic vertical gambling options like Exacta, Trifecta, and Superfecta are designed to help the handicapper to select an order for multiple horses, but they can either be straight or boxed.

Exacta

To win on Exacta bets, you must correctly choose the order in which the first two horses finish the race. You will identify which horse will take the first position and finish second.

Trifecta

To win on Trifecta bets, you must correctly choose the order in which the first three horses finish the race. For example, you will identify which horse will take the first position, which will finish second, and the horse that comes in third.

Superfecta

To win on superfecta bets, you must correctly choose the order in which the first four horses finish the race. For example, you will identify which horse will take the first position, which will finish second, the horse that comes in third, and the one that finishes fourth.

Boxing Exotic Bets

Boxing bets are not types of bets but strategies you can use within several kinds of bets. It gives you an alternative to box the order of the horses, so you don’t have to worry about the specific order. Here, they have to finish in either the top 2 (Exactas Box), top 3 (Trifectas Box), or top 4 (Superfecta Box).

Quinella

This gambling market is a special option that fits into the boxed exotic categories. It allows you to choose which horse finishes first and which comes second without considering the order. So you can wager a two-horse quinella and get the same features as a two-horse exacta box bet. The difference is that a quinella is a single game, so you can play a two-dollar quinella for two dollars, while a two-dollar exacta box costs four dollars.

Conclusion

Whatever type of bet you are looking to make. Making sure you have a solid sports betting staking strategy is going to be key.

Best Sports to Bet On: Which Leagues Are Most Profitable

As sports betting becomes increasingly popular, people are always looking for new ways to make money off their favorite teams. In this article, we will explore which leagues offer the best profit opportunities and why it is important to do your research before placing any bets. We will also provide some helpful tips on maximizing your chances of winning.

So whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, read on for all the information you need to get started in the exciting world of sports betting.

Sports Betting

The Importance of Research

Some of the best online sports betting sites in the US offer a wide variety of leagues to bet on, and it can be tempting just to pick your favorite team and start placing bets. However, this is not the most innovative way to approach sports betting.

Instead, it is essential to do your research and find out which leagues are most profitable. This may seem like a lot of work, but it is well worth the effort as it can make a big difference to your bottom line.

NFL: America’s Favorite Betting League

The National Football League is America’s favorite betting league. Each year, Americans bet billions of dollars on NFL games, and the league’s popularity shows no signs of waning. There are several reasons for the NFL’s popularity among bettors.

First, the league is extremely competitive, with a parity that ensures close games and exciting finishes.
Second, the NFL offers a wide range of betting options, from simple moneyline bets to complex prop bets.
Finally, the league’s popularity means abundant information and analysis are available to help bettors make informed decisions.

Prop betting is probably the easiest area to find some value or perhaps exploit some slower moving bookmakers with a value betting strategy.

NBA: A Global Betting Sensation

While the NBA may be most popular in the United States, it has also become a global betting sensation.

In China, for example, the NBA is the most popular sport to bet on, with millions of dollars wagered each year. It’s not just professional gamblers who are getting in on the action; many ordinary people are also placing bets on NBA games. With the help of online bookmakers, anyone with an internet connection can log on and place a bet.

NBA

The popularity of online betting has also made it easier for people to place bets on games they might not otherwise have access to. As a result, the NBA has become a truly global phenomenon, with fans betting on games from all over the world.

MLB: The Money Maker for American Bettors

While the average American bettor may not be overly familiar with MLB, that hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of the most popular sports to bet on in the US. In fact, MLB is now the third most popular sport to bet on in America, behind only the NFL and NBA. There are several reasons for this, but the biggest is probably the sheer amount of money that can be made by betting on baseball.

For starters, there are more games in an MLB season than any other major sport, which means more opportunities to make money. But beyond that, baseball is also a relatively low-scoring sport, which means that even a small wager can have a big payout if you pick the right team. And finally, there’s the fact that baseball is a very strategic sport, which means that even casual bettors can make smart picks if they do their homework.

All of this adds up to big money for those who know how to bet on baseball.

Final Thoughts

Making a profit from your sports betting isn’t easy but it is possible if you put the work. A solid starting approach would be to specialize in one sport and learn as much as you can about the betting markets!

6 Of The Best Sports Betting Blogs 2022

There are a lot of sports betting blogs on the internet. With new ones being created on a daily basis.

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – July 2022 Results

After a fairly disappointing June, did things rebound in Month 64 of the “Making A Million Challenge!”

July overall was another quiet month betting wise but things picked up at the end of the month with lower league English football returning.

Another highlight of the month was seeing the England women’s team win the Euros. The women’s game gets quite a bit of flak but I really enjoyed it. You see way less play acting and general shit housing, it was refreshing to see players get hit with a hard tackle and then just get up.

Generally they just seemed like they wanted to get on with playing football.Rather then use every little physical altercation as an opportunity to get teh opposition carded.

It highlighted really how pathetic a lot of male footballers are in the modern game. How rolling around pretending to be hurt just became an accepted part of the men’s game. I will never understand the decision to let it become an accepted part of the men’s game.

Seeing grown men, who are role models for millions of children act this way again just seems really pathetic.

Anyway enough rambling, let’s dig into the results.

Making A Million

Value Betting/Trading

Still a fairly quiet month for value betting.

The women’s Euros did throw up some selections, as did the UEFA qualifiers. Had a quite a few bets in the MLS and some of the summer leagues also.

August will see things ramp back up however with the return of major European leagues.

Value Bets July

In total there were 135 bets made.

A total profit of £811 was made.

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

Very small amount of casino offers done this month. There is much more that I could be doing here. In honesty it’s just a lack of interest on my part to grind casino offers at the moment.

I did 3 reload offers this month.

Losing £80 in total.

Smart Sports Betting Community/MMA Results

It was an improved month on the MMA betting front.

Felt like the things had been going against us the last couple of months. The misfortune which was Tom Aspinall breaking his leg 15 seconds into his main event fight against Curtis Blaydes. Gave us some profit in what I expected to be a competitive fight.

So the MMA betting gods seem to shining some favour our way again, Praise Odin!!

A profit of £575 was made from 15 bets.

MMA Bets

Horse Racing Tipsters

Pretty sure last month was the worst month on record for horse racing bets.

It was pretty much a month of consistent losers and gave back much of the profit made since Beth Bet folded.

The current racing tipster portfolio consists of 3 tipsters.

Hansbury Racing
No Photo Needed (free Smart Betting Club Tipster)
Kieran Ward’s Value Tips (free SBC tipster.)

Hansbury Racing was the big loser this month . It really struggled to hit much this month and has been giving back most of the profit it previously made.

Horse Racing Bets

Overall a loss of -£1025 was made from horse racing.

Golf

My venture into the world of golf betting might be coming to an end soon. It’s been 11 months since I started golf betting and after last months results the overall graph is standing at -£25.

There has been some missed bets and using the exchanges only means that there isn’t the advantage of extra places. However I am starting to feel like my time might be better spent elsewhere.

In July a total of -£257 was lost betting on golf.

FTS Systems

This month I got the chance to delve into the data that FTS Ultimate provides.

It’s been really interesting getting a chance to look at the historical odds data and models that you get with FTS. I have had theories about strategies that might work long term, in the past.

“Yes I knew I was fucking right!” or “Ah balls I really thought that would work!”

Actually getting to confirm whether that is true or not with actual data is really rewarding.

Pretty excited to see how this goes in the long run. The fact that it looks possible to have winning strategies in high liquidity markets. Where I don’t have to worry about bookmaker limitations is very appealing.

From FTS Ultimate I have developed 6 systems that I am pretty sure will win long term.

For this season I will stake pretty conservatively at £50 a point.

Going forward there will be a lot more selections but this month there were 8 bets.

A loss of -£137 was made.

Misc

Misc includes profits or losses made from anything that is noted down on the previous headings. This is usually from following from bets from free tipsters. That I don’t individually record.

A loss of -£135 was made

Making A Million From Sports Betting And Trading – June 2022 Results

On to month 63 in the “Making a Million Challenge.”

Overall from a betting perspective it was a slower month then usual. My plan at the beginning of the month was to be super productive, get more blog posts done, look at other ways to make money online and get shit done!

Writing this at the end of the month. I spent a lot of time going out for walks, running, playing football with my son, playing computer games and catching up on a few Netflix series (Umbrella Academy and Ozark).

Although I did fail to be productive in the sense I set out too.

When I think back to when I started this blog more then 5 years ago. I was working a 60 hour security job. Having to work every weekend. Working nights and missing a lot of time with my family.

Looking at it that way, this month was pretty damn good. Having the time to do the things you want to do, with the people you want to do it with. Is real wealth in my opinion.

Hopefully I can keep progressing with betting and keep creating free time for myself and more time with my family going forward.

Let’s take a look at results from June.

Value Betting/Trading

A lot less volume in June with most of it coming on the Nations League. Where England performed really poor and my biggest bet of the month on Kane to register 1 shot on target when down in flames.

Really frustrating watching a game where you just need one shot on target.

Buddha, Jesus, Odin, whichever god I prayed too, Kane couldn’t find the target!

Recovered at the end of the month with a good run on the horses at the end of the month. That did kill the last remaining Bet365 account was I had however. Which pretty much brings me to the end of betting with soft books.

As time has gone on I have been using the exchanges more and more. However its a shame that the money train that is Bet365, is now over. At least for the near future anyway.

In total there were 113 bets made.

A total profit of £1246 was made.

Barely worth mentioning casino offers this month.

In total I did 3 offers.

A total of £18 was made

Smart Sports Betting Community/MMA Results

Been a rough run this month with MMA betting. Two wins in the last 13 bets hasn’t felt good.

If Bet365 had offered a ridiculous price on Curtis to win by decision things would have been much worse.

Watching some of the fights it has been frustrating. With fighters being so close to getting finishes only to find themselves getting finished a few minutes later (Baudot,Emeev) but it’s just the volatility of the sport. The same volatility that presents value over the long term.

Overall there were 13 bets in June.

A total of -£700 was lost betting on MMA.

Horse Racing Tipsters

A decent month for the horse racing portfolio. Which could have been much better had a not missed the day that the tipsters”No Photo Needed” hit a few winners.

Hansbury Racing was the standout tipster of the month providing a nice 74.9 winner.

The current racing tipster portfolio consists of 3 tipsters.

Hansbury Racing
No Photo Needed (free Smart Betting Club Tipster)
Kieran Ward’s Value Tips (free SBC tipster.)

Overall a profit of £340 was made from horse racing.

Golf

Golf bets performed poorly this month with nothing but consistent losses.

To save time I have grouped bets into their markets. (Winners market and top 5.)

A loss of -£766 was made.

Not a lot to say really, betting at higher odds so there is bound to be more volatility. Will keep putting the bets down and hopefully catch an upswing soon.

Misc

Misc includes profits or losses made from anything that is noted down on the previous headings. This is usually from following from bets from free tipsters. That I don’t individually record.

Total made from misc £45.

Thoughts

Going forward I will be pretty much using the exchanges exclusively. Apart from the odd local shop bet.

So I have been looking at services which look at profiting from Betfair, Smarkets and Matchbook. FTS Income is one of those services and hopefully should be joining their Ultimate service for the coming season.

Other then that I will continue value betting on the exchanges and trading. The last few months of the main leagues produced a lot of profit. I have tried to use the same methods on the summer leagues however it hasn’t worked as well, with the differences in liquidity.

Looking forward to the women’s Euro’s coming up. As that should produce some value betting opportunities and decent liquidity.

Hansbury Racing Tips Review 2022

Hansbury Racing tips is a horse racing tipster service that has received a lot of plaudits.

The service highlights horses that provide value at higher odds ranges with several winning bets being above odds 50.00.

What really drew me to this service was the reported results at Betfair SP prices.

The trouble that I have found following successful tipsters over the years is that eventually you get limited or have your account closed. If you are able to consistently make money from the bookies.

Which means finding a tipster that can make money on the Betting Exchanges is similar to finding the Holy Grail.

What Is Hansbury Racing Tips?

Hansbury tips is a service that comes from the successful horse racing punter Richard Hutchinson.

Hutchinson is renowned horse racing bettor, who managed to bag over £188,000 from winning the 2020 Tote Ten To Follow Jumps Competition.

He started studying horse racing at the young age of 18 and 30 plus years later he has stated that he still spend hours everyday studying form.

If you want to learn more about the man behind the service, below is really good interview with Richard Hutchinson.

Watch this video on YouTube

How The Service Functions

Hansbury Racing tips is a really easy service to follow.

An email is sent out every morning around 08.00 (UK time), with the selections for the day. Occasionally there are early picks which are sent out the day before usually between 19.00-20.00.

If you are betting to Betfair SP (which is my approach) then you only need to read the 08.00 email and then place your bets for the day. However if you were to bet with bookmakers, then you may want to snag those bigger prices that are available the day before.

The email that is sent out features the bets for the day, bookmakers odds and lowest value price (LVP). The lowest value price is very useful and something that many tipsters don’t include however when backing with Betfair you can choose the lowest price you would like to back the selection at.

Which is very useful as it means should the horse shorten below the LVP, the bet will not be placed.

Alongside this you also get a detailed write up of every selection.

Which is great for those that are following the service and have a keen interest in horse racing. It allows them to see the reasoning behind each bet and perhaps reveal some useful snippets to improve their own betting.

Hansbury Racing Review Results

Historically Hansbury Racing is running at a 43.92% return on investment which is very impressive.

Here are some of the headline figures reported on the website since the service started on the 20/06/2020.

Total Profit To Date (To £10 stakes)	£13697.00
Average Monthly Profit (To £10 stakes)	£603
Return On Investment	43.97%
Total Points Won	1369.7

You can see that those are some very impressive figures.

Let’s take a look at the results we have attained so far betting at Betfair SP.

My approach using Hansbury Racing tips is to stake £10 on the win and £20 on the place terms. Whilst the official results record their results using a flat £10 point each way.

There are a few bets missing in comparison with the official results. This is for a few reasons.

1. Bets went below the LVP (lowest value price) at the start of the race (When Betfair SP bets are made) so these bets were not placed.

2. There was one day when there was an issue with Betfair SP bets and no bets were placed that day.

Betfair SP Results

Total Bets	311
P/L	-£316
Total Staked	£4665
Return On Investment	-6.7%

Results after 311 bets showed a loss of -£136.

Unfortunately despite a strong start to the review Hansbury racing went on a pretty significant downswing. Obviously when backing at high odds this is always the danger and Hansbury racing’s long term results remain very strong.

Hansbury Racing Review Trial And Discount

There is a current discounted trial running at the moment if you would like to test Hansbury Racing tips out yourself. This costs £5.99 and gives you access to 14 days of tips or you can trial two tipsters (Hansbury Racing and Ambrose Racing) for 14 days at £6.99.

Hansbury Racing Subscription Cost

For those looking at joining Hansbury Racing over the long term, there are several different pricing options.

Given that the service is one that aims at higher odds. It is advisable to look at following this tipster over a long period of time. Due to the volatility that is involved following tipsters that advise bets at high odds.

Let’s break down the subscription’s on offer.

1 month – £44.38
3 months – £110 (£36.66 a month)
6 months – £225 (£37.50 a month – weirdly you would be better taking out two 3 month subscriptions)
12 months – £410 (£34.16 a month – cheapest option)

Hansbury Racing Tips Review Conclusion

Overall the results during our review were not positive.

The service itself is run very professionally and long term Hansbury Racing looks like it will be profitable. What you must take into account when following a service such as this is that there will be long losing periods.

Unfortunately our review period came during one of these losing runs.

3 Tips – How To Win In An Online Casino To Make Consistent Profits

Online Casino Winning — Source – Unsplash

The online gambling industry grows changes every year.

Now, it is possible for almost anyone of legal age to access an online casino wherever they are. However do online casino’s actually represent an opportunity for making money online.

Global statistics display that up to 26% of the world population are gamblers. This percentage amounts to about 1.6 billion gamblers and about 4.2 billion people who gamble at least once per year.

Despite there being such a huge number of gamblers, there are only about 5% of bettors who make a profit from most of their wagers. This number, of course, translates into over 90% of people who lose big time in the gambling industry.

In this article we are going to take a look at 3 ways to consistently make a profit from online casino’s.

How To Win Online Casino Games: Top 3 Tips

The first thing that you need to understand if you want to make money from an online casino, is that you need an edge. An edge is something that flips the casino’s advantage to the player.

Most commonly an edge is found through using a casino’s bonus program, cashback or free spins. All of these can flip the edge that the casino normally has to the player.

You don’t need a lot of money to start doing this either. Today, there are a lot of low deposit casino offers such as these $5 minimum deposit sportsbook sites on the internet. Most of these sites offer players bonuses for making a deposit.

Choose A Reputable Casino With No Restrictions

Before we get on to how to make consistent profits from an online casino. The first thing you want to do is make sure you choose a reputable casino site to open an account with. There are thousands of online casinos to choose from, so it is not easy to make a choice. However, there are some factors to consider that will help you make the right choice.

Before choosing a casino, you must consider factors like Licensing, Customer Service, Bonus Offers Available, and Website Design/Responsiveness. Today, there are so many illegal casinos that operate online, and some of them scam gamblers.

So it is important to do your due diligence and research the casino you open an account with.

Tip 1 – Utilize Casino Bonus Offers

Bonus offers are one of the remarkable features of gambling online. Moreover, a wide range of online casinos provides profitable bonus offers. What makes it more interesting is the numerous money-making strategies available to earn from these bonuses.

These bonus offers can bring consistent profits for gamblers if utilized properly. Most casinos offer these bonuses as a marketing strategy for attracting new users. However, you must also be careful, as some casino sites offer ridiculous bonus terms.

In most cases, casinos offer high wagering requirements for withdrawal of winnings made with bonuses or even a high withdrawal limits. While searching for a casino with a good bonus offer and reasonable terms, you should utilize these bonuses to extend your betting time and reduce the direct usage of your real money deposits.

Most casinos offer welcome packages for new players; however, there are also VIP programs and rewards for returning customers on the site. From free spins, no deposit bonuses, and other promotional offers, you can take advantage of these bonuses to get yourself acquainted with the major games and even stand a chance of winning without using real money.

Tip 2 – Use Cashback Sites

One of the easiest ways to make money from an online casino is through using cashback sites. In the video below I explain exactly how to do this and lock in £58 profit in under 10 minutes.

Watch this video on YouTube

Using cashback sites and wagering using casino games that have a very low house edge. Is a great way to make some consistent profits from online casino’s.

Tip 3 – Understand How The Casino Makes Money

A great method to improve your profit in casinos is to understand the rules of casino games and the major strategies involved in playing them. Without any doubt, most casino games are luck-based; however, you need to understand the rules to maximize your winning potential.

In most cases, it is advisable to check the RTP (Return To Player) of a game before playing it. The value of a game’s RTP typically represents how often a gambler can win and how much they can get from the lost wages in the long run. Thus, it is advisable to go for casino games with a high RTP when exploiting a bonus.

Casino games with low house edges like Blackjack, Baccarat, Online Slots, and Video Poker games that should be looked when you have a wagering requirement to get through.

Though most casino games are easy to understand, most of them take a while to master. So, as a gambler aiming to make a profit consistently, you must carefully understand the rules and how to play the games well.

In most casino sites, you can start with the demo editions of these casino games to understand gaming concepts before making use of your real money.

Extra Tips For Winning At Online Casinos

Other than the three methods mentioned above, there are other ways to improve your profit from online betting at casinos. In this section of this article, we will look at these tips and how you can implement them.

Find Suitable Banking Methods

Online casinos offer numerous payment options, from wire transfers to credit/debit cards, e-wallets, and other mobile banking methods.

Though there are numerous payment options, you should be careful about transaction fee’s eating into your potential profits.

Today, some of the best payment methods in casinos are e-wallets and cryptocurrency. Though some e-wallets also incur costs, most cryptocurrency transactions are free and instant.

Quit When You Have A Bad Day

Even with the advantage of a bonus, cashback or free spins. You will still have losing periods.

If you feel annoyed or stressed and perhaps start gambling without the advantage on your side. It is advisable to step away and regroup for another day.

Best Casino Games For Profit

It is well known that in the gambling industry, the casino always wins (unless you are playing with a bonus.). However, some games with a low house edge will allow you to profit when you are given favourable terms.

While playing these games with the right terms, a gambler stands to make more profit and even beat the houses in the long run. Now, let us look at the most profitable games for gamblers in online casinos.

Blackjack

Blackjack is one of the world’s most popular casino games and one of the most profitable for players. With a low house edge of about 1%, a player stands to make more profit from the game than the house. Thus, players are likely to bag huge wins from this game. Though Blackjack relies on luck, it is partially skill-based, as there are some strategies that players can utilize to maximize their winning rates.

Optimal Blackjack Strategy

Known for being one of the oldest card games, Blackjack is available at almost every casino online. From the European Blackjack to the Classic Blackjack and Spanish 21, there are numerous game editions for players to choose from.

Baccarat

Baccarat is a casino game that completely suits high rollers; however, its profitability makes it one of the best casino games. Aside from being the oldest card game, Baccarat features a relatively low house edge of about 1.06 to 1.24%, so players stand a chance of winning more.

Of course, the statistics above don’t guarantee that you will win every Baccarat game, as it is a luck-based game. However, you stand to make a profit with this game, especially in the long run. Though there are some similarities between Blackjack and Baccarat, some differences set them apart, especially in their rules.

Slot Machines

Slot machines are one of the most fun-packed games in the history of casinos. Though there have been a lot of speculations regarding the credibility of slot machines, it remains one of the safest casino games. Moreover, all results from slot machines are from RNG (Random Number Generator) software. As a result, every draw produces a unique set of results that are not rigged.

The slot is the most luck-based casino game, but it guarantees a lot of profit to players, so there is always a chance to win big. There are a lot of slot titles in online casinos. Today, some casinos feature over 1,000 slot games, and many game providers still publish new titles every year. Slot games are always themed, so they often captivate players and present a fun environment while creating a platform for profit.

Live Poker

Poker is one casino game that needs no introduction, as it has a deep history in the industry. Like most games, you improve in poker with the more hands you play. Unlike online poker, where there is an average of 100 hands per hour, live poker gets around 30 hands per hour on live tables.

Though this creates more room for growth in online poker, live poker remains an easier option. Thus, it is easier for players to bag wins in live poker. In some cases, live players tend to be loose, creating chances for careful players to excel and bag huge wins.

How To Improve Your Overall Gambling Experience In Online Casinos

Following the advent of modern technological innovations in casinos, gambling can be a fun-packed experience. With that in mind, it becomes even more difficult to control yourself amid these technologies. However, it is always advisable to stay conscious, as excessive gambling can lead to addiction.

Approximately 3 million adults in the United States have serious gambling issues. Of course, there is also a large percentage of young adults who face these gambling problems. With the statistics above, you can only imagine the number of gamblers who have these gambling issues on a global scale. Gambling is always a fun experience; however, once done excessively, it becomes a major problem. Using responsible gambling tools is an excellent way to keep your gambling habit in check.

With these tools, you can always limit your gambling sessions to control yourself and the urge to continue gambling. Most online gambling sites offer a wide range of tools that enable gamblers to keep their gambling habits in check. You can consider taking these responsible gambling measures at the slightest detection of potential gambling addiction.

Conclusion

There is so much involved in making consistent profit from online casinos. You have to choose a reliable casino, utilize bonus offers, use the right banking methods, and consider responsible gambling measures.
