The bad man tipster – how he profits when you lose
I met up with an old friend recently who shares a an interest in sports betting much like me. He started to tell me how he was following a tipsters that turns £25 into a £1000.
“What’s his name,” I asked.
“The bad man tipster.” He replied.
So it peaked my interest and I thought I would do a little research.
You probably already know what I am going to write. These tipsters basically work for bookmakers in essence and want to you to lose.
The Badman Tipster makes money when you lose. If you actually make money then he doesn’t make a penny.
He works as an affiliate for bookmakers and makes a commission on the losses of every punter he sends. If he only sends winning punters then he doesn’t make any money at all.
The Casual Gambler reports that he lost 57, £25-£1000 challenges in a row.
This would have lost £1425 for anyone following his selections. In honesty though the losses since his inception will in my opinion likely be far more. Tipsters that run this sort of business model will never track their record publicly or proof it anywhere.
Why?
Because its in their best interest not to. They don’t want to document how much money people are losing following their bets.
The Bad Man Tipster Odds
Another shady aspect of this tipster is that they don’t even post the odds they bet at.
“I recommend placing the bet between odds of 1.25 (1/4) and 1.50 (1/2).” (The Bad Man Tipster)
Obviously there is a huge difference between winning a bet at 1.25 or 1.5. Especially when you are rolling over your bankroll for the next bet. Putting such a wide margin of odds on their selections means they can easily manipulate a challenge.
If the goal comes late they can claim they got on at 1.5, if a goal is scored instantly they took it at 1.25.
There is just no transparency and its obviously easy for them claim what they want.
You will also see that he only states Bet365 as an option for the bet.
If you are serious about turning a profit from your betting you need to find the best odds for every bet. Often you will find that Bet365 don’t have the best in-play odds and you would have been better off betting at a betting exchange like Betfair.
But as Bet365 are the best bookmaker for tipsters that make money as affiliates. You won’t see them touting the best odds for each selection.
Again when they get paid for your losses why would they want show you how to give yourself the best chance of being profitable.
Affiliate Tipsters
There are thousands of these tipsters around. All pushing affiliate links and doing silly challenges.
My advice is don’t follow any of them.
Unless you are fine with giving money to a guy that provides losing betting tips.
For me personally its like paying someone £20 to come and kick me in the balls. Hoping there’s a tiny chance that they slip knock themselves unconscious and £1000 falls out of their pocket in the process.
Its just a bit silly.
A lot of affiliate tipsters are not interested in providing profitable tips. They are driven by greed.
The truth about successful sports betting is that is a long grind. Its about finding value bets and gradually increasing your bankroll over time.
You can’t turn £25 into £1000 with ease.
Rolling over your stake after each bet is never a good idea.
What these tipster affiliates do is play on human nature.
People want to win big and they want it quickly. So whilst dangling the carrot of “12 bets and you will win £1000” seems appealing. Over the long term your going to lose a lot of money chasing that £1000.
Sure you might get lucky but the odds are against you.
In the meantime please share this article with anyone that follows these clown tipsters.
It would be cool if what these people do could become common knowledge.
People would lose a lot less money following these individuals and in turn these tipsters would make much much less from their shady bookmaker affiliate deals.
Betting Gods seems almost too good to be true right?
They offer multiple tipsters on their platform who have made over £100,00k in profit!
In this Betting Gods review will look at how theBettingGods Tipster Network, covering how they operate and the tipsters they offer.
Is Betting Gods a scam?
Do Betting Gods tipsters make money over the long term?
Betting Gods are a large company with over 18k followers on the Betting Gods twitter account. Betting Gods free tips are a popular discussion point however this article will focus mainly on their paid tipsters.
Now I have previously done some Betting Gods reviews on a few of their popular tipsters. So I thought it would make a good article, here are my honest thoughts on betting gods.
The Shady World Of Betting Tipsters
It is true that the world of sports betting tipsters is a very shady one. With a very large percentage of them offering no value what so ever.
I have written about these very popular social media tipsters that make money from the loses of players they refer to bookmakers. Then there are tipsters that just outright lie about results in order to appear profitable and sell tips.
However there are a very small percentage of tipsters that actually offer some value. That record odds fairly and really do aim to make long term profits for their subscribers.
So where then does betting gods fit in?
Betting Gods Tipsters
Currently the Betting Gods Tipster Network have a total of 12 tipsters under their name. Ranging from popular betting markets like horse betting and football. To smaller markets such as boxing and European basketball.
I have had the chance to review several betting gods services in depth. A horse racing lay bet service called Cudsworth’s lays. This service really struggled during my review and is now no longer part of the Betting Gods stable.
The Football Guru (review here) a tipster which unsurprisingly focuses on the football markets. This service is showing a long term profit of over £3000 betting at £10 a point since December 2015. The Football Guru performed well during our review although one negative aspect to report was the inclusion of the Bet365 inplay offer in their results.
A service that have I have used and had success with is Quentin Franks Racing (reviewhere). This is a service that had a really stellar track record of producing profit month after month. It had tough year in 2017 but has shown to be profitable long term.
Many of the services that I reviewed are no longer with Betting Gods. The one service that remains of which I have reviewed is Premier Greyhound tips. This service was very profitable during our trial remains a standout service for Betting Gods. It is the best greyhound tipster service that we have ever come across.
Over the past few years of running this site. I have had a few emails exchanges with people regarding betting gods. Where both the negative and positives of this tipster network have been discussed. Here are some of the main points that have come up.
Betting Gods Review – Negatives
I can’t match the odds they quote and record!
This is the most common complaint I get about some of the horse racing services that Betting Gods advertise. A lot of people have emailed me asking if I can match the odds which are quoted for the Quentin Franks horse racing service.
In truth I can’t match them all the time, and I really put quite a bit of effort into making sure I am at my computer when the daily email arrives.
Now from Betting Gods point of view I can see why they advertise their results this way. When emails are sent these odds do exist but bookmakers slash most of the higher odds selections within minutes.
If you don’t have the fastest email provider or are not able to bet close to the time of receiving the emails. You are not going to be able to get close to the odds quoted.
Perhaps a fairer way of recording odds would be to wait 10 minutes after emails are sent and record odds that exist at 2 or 3 bookmakers.
The way they market their services?
So variable staking plans are quite common among tipsters. Depending on the perceived value and odds of a selection will determine your stake amount.
For example lets say we believe Man Utd at home to Preston in the FA cup at odds of 1.30 is a really strong bet. We might bet 10 points £100 on Man Utd at 1.30.
However on the same day we also think Burton at home to Brighton at odds of 8.4 is a really good bet. But due to the difference in odds we don’t bet 10 points we only bet 1 point £10.
We would do this to protect out bankroll and lessen the volatility of betting at higher odds. This is a fairly common way of staking.
However it can lead to some of the roi and results figures looking a little inflated.
An example of this was one of Betting Gods previous tipsters. Chloe’s football focus boasted some highly impressive figures. With an 89% return on investment and average monthly profit of £1286.04 to £10 stakes it sounds awesome.
However if you look at the detailed results you will see some large bets on high odds. For example 10 point bets (£100) at odds of 11.5 and 17.9 have won.
In a small sample size of 202 bets this can really give unrealistic expectations of the long term profits that can be achieved from sports betting.
Now from Betting Gods point of view. I can see why they would market this service in this way. The results are true and Chloe’s Football Focus is on a great run of results with those 10 point bets having paid off.
This potentially could be a very good service over the long term.
However from my point of view and someone that wants to educate people to be better sports bettors.
I know the pitfalls of this type of staking and understand the variance involved betting on such high odds. Personally I would like to see them include the level stakes results for the services that use variable staking plans.
This service is no longer part of betting gods
Betting Gods Review – Positives
They are pretty transparent
Out of all the tipsters networks that exist Betting Gods are one of the most transparent. I have noted issues with including bet365 offers in results and variable staking inflating some of their tipsters results. But they don’t try to hide of any of this. If you want to go and have a detailed look at any of the 12 tipsters they promote you will find detailed results.
This is a big positive for me as it really allows you to get an idea of type of odds a tipster focuses on. The volume of bets a tipsters puts out, which markets they focus on.
It gives you a feel for the service without needing to join up first.
They offer trials and money back guarantees
A lot of tipster platforms are just looking for suckers that will pay for the first month of a service and aren’t bothered about the longevity of their customers. They will just trick some new people to join and this is their business model.
Well Betting Gods do want long term subscribers and that’s why they offer 30 day trials for a £1.99. This is enables the subscriber to see whether the tipster service works for them and suits their style of betting.
You can also get a full refund within 30 days no questions asked if you weren’t happy with the service.
Professionalism and support
Like I wrote earlier the world of sports betting tipsters is a very shady one. So it is refreshing to have a tipster network that is very transparent. Offers live chat and email support. And generally runs itself like a professional business should do.
So whilst the Betting Gods tipster network isn’t perfect. It is far from a scam and if you are looking to add a betting tipster to your portfolio. You can very easily take a detailed look at any of the tipsters they offer and take a up a 30 day trial to see if they fit well for you.
If you can’t match the quoted odds or have an issue with the service you can get a refund without any issue.
Overall I think you should always do your research before joining a tipster.
Betting Gods are far from perfect and I do think some of the tipsters are not going to be profitable long term. However they do also have some solid tipsters that stake reasonably and have long term winning records.

Over the past few years I have made good money exploiting casino offers using various services. I did a lot of this manually before Bonus Accumulator was created and also took offers from another service.
Are Casino Offers Worth It?
Below is my profit graph after exploiting over 4892 casino offers.
A profit of over £26,639 has been made since 2019.
So the question is can Bonus Accumulator allow you to do the same?
Lets take a look!
Bonus Accumulator Review
Training
So first off the mathematics behind exploiting casino offers profitably can seem difficult at first.
It differs to matched betting as you will not always make a profit from every offer. However every offer you do will have a positive expectancy.
This means that in the long run if you keep doing offer after offer you will make money.
Sometimes you will win big!
The example that I always use for simplicity is that of a coin flip.
Lets pretend that you have a friend that believes heads is luckier then tails.
Because they believe this they are willing to pay you £1.10 every time it lands on tails. But you have to only pay them £1 every time it lands on heads.
This situation would give you a clear mathematical advantage.
Long term this is called plus EV or positive expected value.
When Tails lands in this situation the payout odds are 2.1 (real probability is 50% so the odds should be 2.0)
Heads lands and the payout odds are 2.0 (This is the true value of a coin landing on tails.)
If you flipped the coin long enough you would make money.
Casino offers work on exactly the same premise.
Bonus accumulator provides plenty of instruction for those new to exploiting casino offers.
In the form of videos and written guidelines. So which ever way you learn the best, they have it covered.
The videos and guidelines cover.
Why Should You Do Casino Offers
Types Of Casino Offer
How To Play Roulette
What Is Wagering?
How To Play Blackjack
How To Play Slots
ID/KYC Verification
Risk Free Offers
Low Risk Offers
Medium Risk Offers
High Risk Offers
How To Use The Simulator
Bonus Accumulator Offers
This was probably most interesting part for myself.
As I mentioned earlier I have been exploiting casino offers for many years now using another service.
So how does Bonus Accumulator stack up in this department?
Names of the casino are hidden to protect copyright
Extremely Well!
I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of offers that the bonus accumulator service covers.
There are hundreds of offers covering risk free, low risk, medium risk and high risk.
Sign up offers are often the most profitable but there is also a large quantity of reload offers to do.
In comparison to the service that I have been using for years it stands up very well.
Bonus Accumulator Instructions
When you choose the offer that want to exploit.
Bonus accumulator gives you step by step instruction on the optimal approach, to extract the highest value possible.
Another aspect of the Bonus Accumulator service that I really like is the in-depth breakdown of each offer.
The detail is very impressive and puts them ahead of their competition.
Breaking down the EV for example into an hourly rate is something that I really like.
A lot of people seem to think that matched betting and casino offers aren’t worth the time.
However this really highlights that if you put in the time exploiting casino offers it is still extremely profitable!
What Tools Do You Get With Bonus Accumulator
Simulator
There are several tools that come with a Bonus Accumulator subscription.
We will start with my favorite which is a simulator for casino games.
As you can see from the picture this is a really handy piece of software.
You can run a number of simulations regarding the type of bonus or cashback offer that you are doing.
Such as
Bet And Get
Sticky Bonus (Where bonus is removed and only profit from bonus counts.)
Free Spins
Second Chance Bonus
Post Wager
Cashback
It then spits out a number of metrics for you.
This is an excellent tool that is especially handy for reload offers that get sent out by casinos to specific customers. It is a very quick way of seeing if the offer is profitable or not.
The above picture is a breakdown of a cashback offer that I was sent on the slot Rick and Morty Megaways.
Below is a video of me doing this offer. I managed to hit the bonus round on my last spin. (The video length is cut due to file size)
Just to prove that the video is legitimately me completing the cashback offer.
Here is a screenshot from my gaming history (the extra £6.40 came on the initial spin before the bonus loaded.)
So although this offer only had an expected value of £3.95. The hourly rate on completing an offer such as this is £236.75.
If you look at exploiting casino offers as an hourly return then it really does hammer home how much value there is to be had.
My profit from this one offer was £566.40.
This does highlight the variance in results and it can swing both ways. You can run way above the expected profit but also below it.
It is important to focus on the long term results as you will have losing periods at times.
However I can tell you that after doing 4000 plus offers the variance does even itself out.
Slots Database
Next up in the list of tools that you get with Bonus Accumulator is the slots database.
This isn’t anything fancy it is pretty much as the name suggests. Its a database of slots that allows you to search based on
Name
Return To Player
Variance
Provider
You might want to use this tool if you get an offer that is slot specific or are just looking for high RTP (return to player) slots to complete an offer with.
Perhaps you want to look up the RTP amount of a slot in order to input it in the simulation tool.
Again its a handy tool to have and saves you manually looking for everything on google (which is something I have done in the past.)
Blackjack Calculator
Last on the list is a blackjack calculator.
Blackjack is a game that I have played for probably hundreds of hours, given its high return to player if played optimally.
Making it one of the best games to rollover a casino bonus with if allowed in the bonus terms.
Previously I have used an online template for optimal blackjack strategy but Bonus Accumulator has its own.
The blackjack calculator is extremely simple.
You input the dealer hand, then state what your own cards are.
The calculator then spits out the optimal move to make allowing you to play the best blackjack strategy possible with highest rtp (return to player.)
Bonus Accumulator Profit Tracker
When it comes to having a quick and efficient way of tracking your profits, Bonus Accumulator has this covered also.
It uses a very simple process.
Where when you have finished completing an offer you input your actual profit the software logs this then also tracks the expected profit from the offer.
The software then saves this information and allows you to track all the offers you have done.
Producing a nice graph which shows your real profit alongside your expected profit.
Having done this for a few years already I have always used Excel.
The profit tracking with Bonus Accumulator is again very simple to use and very efficient.
They have done a great job of creating functional profit tracking tools that will save you inputting everything into Microsoft Excel. It might seem like a little thing but its a great little time saver that compounds in the long run.
Bonus Accumulator Forum
There is also an active community within Bonus Accumulator.
This is in the form of a forum, where you can reach out for help or advice if you are struggling. Make suggestions for further tools to be added or adjustments which might benefit the community.
If you are wondering whether or not a recurring reload offer is profitable you can ask a more experienced member of the community for confirmation if it is value or not.
It is always good to talk with individuals that share the same interests as yourself.
So the addition of a active forum is a big positive for Bonus Accumulator.
It is a good place to learn and also take motivation from the results of other people that are looking to make money exploiting casino bonuses.
Are Casino Offers Still Worth Doing In 2021?
Below I have attached my results for the year of 2020.
As I have been asked a few times are casino offers still worth doing in 2021?
Over the course of 2020 I took part in 2202 casino offers.
A total profit of £11,946 was made.
I will be continuing to do casino offers in 2021. In my opinion I believe there is still good money to be made from casino offers in 2021.
Bonus Accumulator now comes under the umbrella of Profit Accumulator diamond membership.
£39.99 monthly subscription.
£300 a year subscription ( £25 a month.)
The monthly fee is very expensive in comparison to other services. A yearly one off payment works out at £25 a month which in my opinion is value.
Profit Accumulator Diamond membership brings together the best of matched betting and casino offers. So this remains a good option if you want to make the most of both.
However a cheaper alternative would be Profit Maximiser which covers both casino and matched betting for a fraction of the price (£115 yearly)
There are not that many products around that solely focus on exploiting casino offers.
The other notable bonus service available on the internet is Team Casino. Having tried both services I found Bonus Accumulator to be much more in depth.
Choosing between the two my recommendation would be to go with Bonus Accumulator.
Bonus Accumulator Review Conclusion
In this Bonus Accumulator review we have covered all aspects of the service and from the tone of the review you can probably tell that I have been impressed.
Like I have mentioned through out this review I have been exploiting casino bonus for a few years already.
So when I heard about Bonus Accumulator I thought initially it would just be more of the same.
However Bonus Accumulator have taken everything that was already available and improved it in every aspect.
They have delivered a really sleek and most importantly very functional service that provides a tonne of value for anyone that is looking to make money from casino offers.
Are there any negatives?
Exploiting casino offers isn’t something that is brand new but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still a lot of money to be made from doing it.
The main drawback to Bonus Acucmulator is the price tag in relation to its competitors.
However if you want combine matched betting and are new to casino bonus hunting then this is the perfect place to start.
Is there a Bonus Accumulator Trial?
There isn’t a Bonus Accumulator trial. They have now combined there casino service with their matched betting service Profit Accumulator. Under the Diamond membership service.
If you want a similar service you can trial.
My recommendation is Profit Maximiser who offer a £1 trial for 14 days which is excellent value.

Regular readers of this blog will know that I use arbitrage betting and positive ev value betting as a big part of my betting strategy.
These are solid strategies that have allowed me to make a consistent income from my betting over a number of years.
With the United States betting markets opening up.
More and more people are looking at sports betting as an alternate way to invest their money.
Let’s dive into this Oddsjam review and take a look at whether it’s worth your money.
Oddsjam Review 2022 – The Best Arbitrage Software USA?
When you first log into Oddsjam you will see a number of options.
First off you have an odds area where you can compare odds between a few bookmakers.
5dimes
Betmgm
Bookmaker
Borgota
Caesars
Draftkings
Foxbet
William Hill
Bwin
Are the bookmakers currently covered in the odds area.
This is an area to be used when you are looking to get the best possible odds for your bets.
Next up lets take a look at the betting tools Oddsjam provide.
This is the area where we will spend the most time on in this review. As the betting tools are really where the value lies with Oddsjam.
Arbitrage Software
When you select the arbitrage tool, a list of upcoming arbitrage bets for the next few days appear.
The arbitrage software covers the bookmaker already listed along with Pinnacle.
What is an arbitrage bet?
An arbitrage bet allows you to cover all outcomes of an event to guarantee yourself a profit.
Let’s take the top selection as an example.
This is an arbitrage between Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies.
In the player total RBI’s market.
The above example is a 2.62% arbitrage bet. Which means that can guarantee a profit of 2.62% n your stake.
Oddsjam provide an arbitrage calculator to work out exactly how much you need to stake. To equal your profit on both bets.
In this example a profit of $8.77 would have been made on the above bet from a total stake of $326.23.
Speed And Efficiency
One of the most important aspects of an arbitrage finder, is speed.
Overall the arbitrage software provided by Oddsjam is quick enough to get on the majority of the arbitrage bets shown.
Oddsjam doesn’t provide links to the bookmaker odds which does mean you have to spend a little time manually getting to the right event.
However using the arbitrage software I did find the odds still existed on both bookmakers. So stale arbs (arbitrage bets where the odds had already moved) did not happen very often.
Plus EV Value Betting Software
What is a value bet?
In simple terms a value bet in the sports betting markets is backing something that is estimated to have a greater chance of happening then the odds indicate.
If you are able to do this consistently then you will make money in the long term.
Oddsjam provide software which helps to identify value bets.
Using the sharp bookmaker Pinnacle.
It has been proven that by using the odds at a sharp bookmaker such as Pinnacle. You can identify value bets with other bookmakers. This is a winning strategy long term.
Oddsjam identifies bets at other soft bookmakers which currently offer value.
The percentage on the left of the selections shows the implied value of the bet.
For example the above bet has an implied value of 6.31%.
Meaning that the expected long term profit of this bet is estimated at to be $6.31, per $100 staked.
Value betting is a great strategy to use alongside arbitrage betting.
Combining both methods can allow you to make a good income from the sports betting markets.
Middle Bets Software
On to Middle Bets!
With middle betting we cover both sides of an event.
This could be a handicap market, total runs, under/over. There are plenty of markets which present opportunities for middle betting.
The great thing about middle betting is that in certain situations you can win both sides of your bet. Other middle bets you can have one bet that wins whilst the other will be a push. This means we win a full bet on one side and get money back on the other.
Lets take a look at an example.
In the above example we have a middle bet which is also an arbitrage.
As a straight up arbitrage bet there is the opportunity to make 1.48% on our stake.
However this is also a middle bet.
Draft kings are offering Chicago Cubs +6.5 at odds of -725
5dimes have Chicago White Sox -6 at +840
In this example we stake $100 on Chicago +6.5 at -725, also putting down $12.11 on the White Sox at -6.
This guarantees a small profit of $1.68.
However if the White Sox win this game by exactly 6. The first bet on Chicago +6.5 would win and our bet on White Sox would be a push. Meaning would get our money back.
So a profit of $13.79 would be won on the first bet. Whilst the second bet would return our stake.
As you increase your stake the opportunity to make a larger profit with a middle bet also increases.
Middle bets are a great low risk way of building a bankroll. If you want to make money from sports betting then middle bets are an excellent strategy to use.
Low Hold
The last tool that Oddsjam offers is one that highlights tight margins between bookmakers.
This is called “Low Hold”, it is aimed at helping you clear sportsbook bonuses with rollovers. Along with highlighting the best selections to guarantee a profit from promotional free bets.
Here is an example of the type of bonus available to American sports bettors, where a rollover is required.
It is a 125% deposit bonus with a 10x rollover.
For example if I deposited $1000, I would be given an extra $1250.
With the 10x rollover, I would need to bet $12500 before it could be withdrawn.
The low hold tool highlights the best selections for rolling over your money without losing value.
This tool can also be used for free play bets.
In the above example, a $83.33 is guaranteed from a $100 freeplay bonus.
This highlights the value of the Oddsjam software.
Oddsjame Review – Other Tools And Software
That covers the main tools that Oddsjam offers. If you are looking to succeed in sports betting then they really do provide you with the software you need.
Along with the arbitrage, middle betting and plus ev betting tracker.
You also get the following –
Arbitrage calculator
Freeplay calculator

Oddsjam Review – Pricing
Oddsjam offer 3 different subscription options.
Arbitrage betting, Middle bets and the Low Hold tool are all part of the Canada and US plan.
The main factor for pricing of the first two options is which country you reside in.
This will effect which bookmakers you have access to.
The benefit of the industry plan is that you also get access to the positive ev betting tool which highlights value betting opportunities.
Oddsjam Review – Conclusion
There is a lot of opportunity to make money from sports betting in the US and Canadian betting markets.

I have no problem in recommending Oddsjam.

Whether its arbitrage betting, middle betting, plus ev value betting or exploiting free bets and bonuses.
Over the last 2 months I have been reviewing two services that come with very good reputations.
The first tipster is from Bookie Insiders.
Bookie Insiders Results
Neil Macdonald is a tipster that focuses mainly on the major European football leagues.
Over a 7 year period his results are extremely impressive.
A 6.8% roi over 5311 bets is fairly unheard of in the major football markets.
The big upside to following Neil Macdonald’s tips are that you are betting in big markets. Which means odds don’t get smashed as soon selections are sent out.
Results so far have been very positive.
After 92 selections.
A profit of £886 has been made.
Stakes ranged between £50-£125 on each selections.
Below are the official results over the same time period.
After 95 bets a total profit of £1058.
(The difference in profit and loss is due to missed bets and odds taken.)
The second tipster under review is Ron Williams, a successful horse racing tipster.
This tipster sends out tips selections the evening before the races. However I have been betting the selections the next day around 11.00 using the betting exchanges.
To see whether or not it could be profitable to follow Ron Williams using only the exchanges.
Long term results suggest if I am able to get odds somewhat close to the ones quoted in the email the evening before.
Then it could be profitable to follow tips using the exchanges.
After 139 selections.
A loss of -£63 has been made
Stakes range from £20 to £40
A profit has not been made so far following these selections.
Ron Williams Official Results
Below are the official results from Ron Williams backing the selections the evening before racing.
After 170 selections.
A loss of -£385 has been made.
(The difference in number of bets made and profit and loss. Is due to missed bets and selections shortening in odds to the point where the value is gone.)

Betmarkets is a platform that allows you to invest in tipsters and have all of the bets placed automatically for you.
In this Betmarkets review we will look at how the platform functions. The betting tipsters they offer and my personal results using the platform.
As someone that has been looking at automated sports betting strategies for a while. I was very excited to test out what Betmarkets had to offer.
What is Betmarkets?
Betmarkets launched in 2020, the platform is very easy to use. It allows you to allocate funds to a number of vetted betting tipsters.
The platform places bets in the Asian betting markets and also with betting exchanges. The business model of these bookmakers and exchanges are different to that of the big European bookmakers.
Rather then limiting winning customers like their European counter parts, The Asian bookmakers rely more on profiting on turnover.
So Betmarkets focuses on tipsters that have shown historically to be able to profit from the Asian or exchange markets.
How Do Betmarkets Make Money?
So whenever a new betting platform or product is released. One of the first things I want to understand is how does their business model work.
To understand how Betmarkets business model works I will just quickly go through how you invest in a tipster.
Allocating Funds To A Betmarkets Tipster
Allocating funds to a tipster is very simple. You choose the amount you wish to invest along with your chosen staking plan (Also choosing if you want to reinvest profits and compound your investment or not).
Then the Betmarkets platform takes care of the rest, as bets are placed automatically on your behalf.
There are no subscription fees for Betmarkets or joining fee. The way that the Betmarkets business model works is that they take a share of the profit made by tipsters. If a tipster makes a profit over a 3 month period then 20% of the profit is shared between the tipster and the platform.
It is a simple premise and one that I really like.
If you wish to watch a video explaining how Betmarkets works and my own experience with the platform so far. You can click on the video below.
Let’s look at an example of how the profit share works by looking at my top performing tipsters.
So above you can see the top two performing tipsters in my portfolio.
Arvis is a tipster that specializes in hockey and Sander is a basketball tipster.
Currently Arvis is showing a profit of £97, you can see at the end of the image the fees that are due. If this profit is maintained then a fee of £19.31 will be paid at the end of March.
Fee’s are applicable on a quarterly basis (March, June, October, December)
You can see that Sander is showing a profit of £52.48 and fees of £9.57 are due. This is a little lower then 20% as 20% would be £10.49. The reason behind this is that he was in small profit during the previous 3 months and a small fee had already been paid out.
As you can see below £1.16 was paid previously on the 12/2020.
You may also notice that this has been taken off his overall profit. This means that Betmarkets shows you the profit made after fees have been taken.
I think this very positive as it shows that the platform is transparent about the profit and not hiding any hidden costs.
Losing Tipsters
Alright so we have looked at what happens with winning tipsters.
Let’s take a look at how the profit fees are handled with losing tipsters.
This is Thiago one of the tennis tipsters at Betmarkets.
So far Thaigo has not managed to make a profit. You can see from the picture above that Thiago is currently -£38.51 overall from his betting. This meant that in December no fees were paid out to Thaigo and also his losses carried over to the next period.
Losses are always carried over, they are never reset.
This means that a tipster has to make a profit for you before you have to pay any fees. So for example Thiago will have to make up the £38.51 in losses and show a profit, before the end of March in order for a fee to be taken.
If he does not make over £38.51 or incurs more losses then this will be carried over into the next 3 month cycle.
Again, until he makes a long term profit the losses will be continually carried over.
Betmarkets Review – Who Are Their Tipsters?
Betmarkets have done an excellent job of getting some of the best and most reputable tipsters from around the world.
They have also done an excellent job of providing its users with a varied amount of data to assess each tipster.
In total at the time of writing there are 44 tipsters on the Betmarkets platform.
This is the first set of data that you will see when you select a tipster to look at.
Amount of bets
Number of people copying this tipster already
Return on total investment
Edge on Pinnacle closing odds
Yield per bet
Maximum drawdown using historical data
There is also a bio for each tipster. Outlining some general information such as how many bets they make on average a week, what markets they specialize in etc.
When breaking down their overall results you can look at their statistics year by year.
Or if you prefer, you can look at their overall results from when they started tipping.
If you want to dig really deep you can look at a tipsters results on a individual bet by bet basis.
There is also the ability to break it down by competition.
Overall there is a really impressive amount of data available for you to break a down a tipsters record. Then build a portfolio of tipsters that suit your style of betting.
My Betmarkets Results So Far
I have been with the Betmarkets platform for around 2 months now. Initially I only followed a few tipsters in order to get comfortable with the platform.
After a little thought I decided I would go for a high turnover approach and now have a portfolio of 27 tipsters.
My initial investment into Betmarkets is £1000, which was converted into just under 1100 euros.
After 3057 bets.
A loss of -£60.39 has been made.
The return on initial investment is -4.65%, however the average closing edge has been positive at 3.08% (The closing odds do not include the margin and not all closing odds are recorded. Some bets are made live, others such as esports don’t record closing edges.)
So I imagine a few people reading this will be put off after seeing a negative figure from over 3000 bets.
However having done thousands of value bets myself and also having exploited thousands of casino offers. I know that sometimes you can hit long stretches where you are break even or slightly losing.
Especially if if your edge is relatively small.
There is a an excellent video highlighting how variance effects betting results that I added below.
Another reason that i don’t want to throw in the towel early with my investment. Is that I also know two other individuals who joined the platform before me, who both are in profit.
On this blog I have wrote about how sports betting is a long term game.
Betmarkets is no different.
I am willing to wait a few more months and see a few more thousands bets before I make any judgement on results or look at changing my betting portfolio.
Betmarkets Review – Positives
Here are some of the most positive aspects I have found so far on the Betmarkets platform.
Being Able To Follow Live Bets
This is a big positive for me. The ability to have bets placed in live markets automatically.
The live betting markets offer a lot of opportunity and also liquidity. Another positive is they don’t tend to be as sharp as pre-match markets. Due to the fact that the variables are always changing in-play.
If you are ever manually following a tipster that bets in live markets it can be a nightmare to follow.
They place bets when you are sleeping, when your eating your tea, out walking with your family. It can be very frustrating when your constantly missing winners and only get on the losers.
So the ability to have this all automated for you is a major plus for me.
Time Efficient
Its a time efficient way of approaching sports betting.
In total I have put thousands of hours into sports betting and exploiting casino offers. Recently I have been looking for ways to increase turnover without having to put to a lot of extra hours into it.
Betmarkets is perfect for those of us that don’t have a tonne of extra time to put into our betting. Once you have built your portfolio it is pretty much set and forget. You can then check it on a monthly or bi monthly basis to make alterations.
Betmarkets Review – Negatives
Probably the number one negative that has been pointed out with Betmarket’s is the lack of deposit options.
A lot of sports bettors are used to being able to deposit with debit or credit card and instantly being able to use their funds.
However currently Betmarkets only offer bank transfer, revolut, monzo and deposits via cryptocurrencies to UK customers (deposit options are different depending on country.)
Betmarkets FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Here are some of the most frequent questions that have been asked about Betmarkets.
The response is from the Betmarkets team.
Do tipsters have a cap on the amount of money they manage?
“Absolutely. Yes, each bettor has a personalized cap depending on the liquidity on the markets they manage. In case that a bet is not 100% placed, the amount is distributed on a pro-rata basis per each copier, weighted on the amount they have allocated to that bettor.”
“On smaller leagues where liquidity is an issue, we will never be placing EV- bets – once the odds are below what the bettor has defined as the min. odds (what (s)he believes to be the threshold at which the bet goes from EV+ to EV-) we will stop placing until the odds bounce back.”
“If the odds do not bounce back on pre-match, the bettor is allowed to stake the remaining during live betting, should (s)he wish to do so.”
What level of protection is there regarding player funds?
“Player funds are held on a segregated account so there is no liability regarding a potential Betmarkets insolvency. We operate under UK/European standards.”
Betmarkets Review – Conclusion
This review is ongoing at the moment.
I don’t feel like I can come to any firm conclusion about the Betmarkets platform so far.
My plan is to update results every few months here and on youtube.
Then really delve into the results after a full year on the platform.
Obviously so far results haven’t been positive and time will tell if this will end up being a profitable investment for myself.
However I feel there are a lot of positives with the platform and I have been impressed with the level of tipsters that they have managed to bring on board.

Rebelbetting was established in 2008. It has been one of the most popular arbitrage software providers since its inception. The company is based in Sweden and has been used by over 100,000 customers.
The software currently supports 76 bookmakers. It highlights arbitrage opportunities in tennis, football, basketball, American football, hockey, rugby, Aussie rules, baseball and horse racing.
What Is An Arbitrage Bet?
Your first question might be what the hell is an arbitrage bet?
An arbitrage bet is when you cover all outcomes of an event. Which then guarantees you a profit at the end of it.
Lets take a look at an example.
Rebelbetting flagged up an arbitrage opportunity. On the Leopardstown race at 17.05. A horse called Daliyah was priced at 3.25 on Paddypower.
This horse was available to lay on the betting exchanges at an 2.88. I took the available money at Smarkets. Which was just less then £50.
In standard arbitrage a profit is made on all outcomes. In this situation an 11.3% profit could be made backing at 3.25 and laying at 2.88.
You can see from the above. That rather then hedge the profit on all outcomes. I have weighted the profit on the horse Daliyah winning. This is a personal preference of mine. I could have also guaranteed myself a profit across all outcomes.
Having all profit on one outcome of the arbitrage bet is known as value arbing.
Lets look at what happens should Daliyah win the race.
I Win £112.5 from my £50 back bet at 3.25 with Paddypower
I lose £92.30 from my lay bet of £49.29
A total profit of £20.2 is made (£112.5-£92.30)
If Daliyah should lose the race.
I lose my £50 back bet with Paddypower
My lay bet wins for a total of £ £48.31 (£49.29 – 2% commission)
A loss of £1.69 is made
From this example you can see that the odds are stacked heavily in your favour. Using arbitrage but leaving the value of the side of the soft bookmaker. Basically creating a very high value bet in this situation.
How does Rebelbetting work?
Rebelbetting is very easy to use. The software constantly scans the odds on all the bookmakers it supports. When the software calculates an arbitrage opportunity. It highlights it for you so that you can investigate further.
Once you select an arb.
Rebelbetting will then automatically calculate a few other variables for you. You can see from the above picture that there is an arbitrage bet between Paddypower and Matchbook.
This is on the PSG vs Toulouse match, in the Asian handicap market.
The software has highlighted a 2.8% arbitrage bet.
From a stake of £492 it shows a profit of £13.81 or £13.78 could be made. You can adjust the stake figure to whatever figure you are using.
Also the round option lets you round of your bet sizes. This is so that soft bookmakers are less likely to flag you as an arbitrage bettor.
Is Rebelbetting Easy To Use?
Rebelbetting is highly customizable and very easy to use. It has a lot features that allow you to find and bet on arbitrage opportunities as efficiently as possible.
Initially you select which bookmakers you want arbitrage opportunities highlighted for.
Define the minimum and maximum arbitrage percentage you are looking for. Which sports you want included and the length of time before it starts.
One cool feature is that you can set up specific alert sounds for different arbitrage percentages or middle bets.
A feature that allows you to save a lot of time and process your bets as quick as possible.
Is the in built browser, which automatically brings up the bookmakers where the arbitrage is available. You can save your username and password so that Rebelbetting automatically signs in to your account when you use this feature.
How Much Money Can I Make with Rebelbetting?
Given that Rebelbetting covers 76 bookmakers there are a tonne of arbitrage opportunities.
When I made all bookmakers available there were a total of 417 arbitrage bets available. There is obviously a good opportunity to profit from these.
In terms of how much money you can make from arbitrage its going to differ from person to person. If you have access to a large number bookmaker accounts then its possible to make thousands of pounds from arbitrage betting.
Personally I have made hundreds from arbitrage in the past. But I will admit that arbitrage isn’t my primary focus and is something I usually do once my accounts are promotion banned. I then like to go through these accounts over a few weeks and hammer them with arbitrage bets.
A lot of matched bettors often discard accounts once the promotions stop. However arbitrage is a great way of milking them for every last ounce of a profit. Also some bookmaker accounts don’t offer much in the use of promotions. Again arbitrage is a good way to get use from these accounts.
Rebelbetting Review Results
Here are the results during my trial of Rebelbetting.
The bets were placed over the period of a month.
I placed 127 arbitrage bets.
Total amount staked
£23,241
Average Stake per bet
£183
Total Profit Of Made
£762
Return Of Investment
3.28%
Will Bookmakers Limit My Account If I Use Rebelbetting?
Like with all winning sports betting strategies. If you are taking money from the pockets of soft bookmakers then you will find yourself limited.
Using the software I did find arbitrage bets between sharp bookmakers and betting exchanges. These types of arbitrage bets are often smaller neither sharp bookmakers or betting exchanges will limit you.
Sports arbitrage betting is a great way to make money from the sports betting markets and I don’t believe you should let bookmaker limitations put you off trying arbitrage software such as Rebelbetting.
How Much Does A Rebelbetting Subscription Cost?
There are several different pricing plans for Rebelbetting. The best plan would really depend on several different factors.
What is your bankroll?
How many bookmakers do you available?
How much time do you have to commit to arbitrage betting?
Rebelbetting Free Trial
There is free trial version of Rebelbetting available.
Which enables you to test the software out for free with a cap on arbitrage bets up to 1%.
This will allow you to become familiar with the software. And see whether you would get value out of using the Rebelbetting service.
For those new to the blog, Caan Berry is a well known Betfair Trader with a good reputation throughout the industry.
In this review we will be taking a look at the newly published cricket trading guide.
Being a complete beginner to cricket trading I also asked a friend of mine (Luke) who regularly trades cricket for his input.
Throughout this review I will include Luke’s thoughts about various aspects of the guide.

Who Wrote The Cricket Trading Guide?
This trading guide is not written by Caan Berry himself, it is written by a professional cricket trader that has known Caan for a number of years.
Throughout the guide he is referred to as Mr X.
The writer of the guide states that he wanted to keep his personal details secret as at times he still takes advantage of live time delays. Which is similar to the advantage live “courtsiders” have in tennis.
He would still like to maintain this edge in the market and believed that giving out his details could harm this.
Some results shared by Mr X
Luke’s Thoughts
I was kindly asked by Ryan, to read and review the cricket guide by Mr X. After agreeing I looked forward to it as cricket guides in the trading world are a premium.
Being a bit of a skeptic I thought surely there wouldn’t be too much given away.
After reading the guide I was pleasantly surprised.
I am a cricket trader and have been for over 8 years now, it isn’t my sole sport but one I have a natural interest in.
Is The Cricket Trading Guide Suitable For Beginners?
Being a complete beginner of trading cricket on Betfair I read through the guide without knowing a whole lot prior.
The guide is well written and easy to follow.
The guide starts with “10 Crucial Factors” you need to assess when your planning to trade a cricket game. This was a great introduction to cricket trading and really hammered in some of the fundamental factors that you need to consider before trading a game.
After that the guide goes on to more specific strategies.
One surprising element to me was how much information the author of this guide gave away about his own strategy.
For example stating the apps he uses to check weather conditions.
He also reveals throughout the book his strategies on how to exploit mug punter money, in the case of cricket this money comes mostly from India.
Another factor that really impressed me was the amount of data that the author gave away throughout this guide.
This really helps to hammer home why certain strategies would work.
Luke’s Thoughts
Mr X actually states that to use this guide to it’s fullest potential. You do need to understand the game of cricket.
That means knowing the rules within the game.
Is it an easy thing to do for someone with no knowledge of cricket?
No, it does take time and you will have to watch several matches in order to develop your understanding.
The author states that this isn’t like horse racing. It is a more complex market to understand however there is great opportunity within the cricket markets.
If you don’t have much experience with the sport of cricket it doesn’t make the guide completely pointless, in fact it does the opposite. When you begin to understand the game, this guide gives you some routes to really focus on.
Cricket is here to stay, the money is growing and edges are changing.
This guide is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to trade the cricket markets.
Any negatives to report?
Honestly this guide is extremely thorough. I felt that it covered every aspect of cricket trading that I could imagine and more.
The only real negative that I have is that it is electronic and you can’t print it out.
I understand that this is done to protect the product and the information contained within it.
However some people may prefer the option of printing it out so that they can read it away from a computer or phone screen.
Luke’s Thoughts
Are there aspects that don’t appeal?
Similar to you I think maybe the concept of it being electronic.
If you are wanting to implement this very useful tool then it’s most likely you want to run through segments whilst in the market.
This is where hard copy options really are a worth that little bit more. Being able to annotate if you are like me, or just reading through can be an advantage, but I am splitting hairs.
I stated earlier that it is well written and from the perspective of a cricket trading beginner it was jam packed with value.
There were clear strategies outlined in the guide. Perhaps more importantly there is also a lot of data shared within the guide to back the strategies up.
When you purchase the guide you don’t just get access to a trading manual but also you get the same data the author of this guide has used to successfully make thousands from the cricket markets.
You get Indian Premier League Data which is categorised into:
Ground Statistical Data
IPL 2017 ,2018, 2019 Data
Overall Analysis
Make informed trading decisions with good data.
Along with Big Bash League Data which is categorised into:
Ground Statistical Data
BBL 2017, 2018, 2019 Data
Overall Analysis
The guide explains how to use this data effectively to make profitable cricket trades.
Luke’s Thoughts
What’s impressive about it?
I think first, he provides data sheets for previous tournaments namely IPL and BBL.
These are very liquid competitions that will hold relevance going forward. Secondly if you are a novice, you really do want to follow his advice on money management, and psychology.
Perhaps the biggest thing to take note of was his professionalism.
This is what really sets the profitable from the unprofitable. The amount of work he does up front through using social media, to highlighting key players and devising plans.
If you are looking to be a profitable cricket trader then imitation of Mr X would be a pretty solid start.
Perhaps you are an experienced trader with a particular niche strategy?
Mr X might give you some ideas on how to scale what you are doing or open your eyes to a new strategy.
If you have no idea where to start. Mr X shows you some quick ways to get to work, giving you enough scope to develop your own set of skills.
Overall it was encouraging to see Mr X write with such openness about the edges within cricket.
I believe when a trader or novice trader buys a guide, they want to be enlightened. To expect at the very least a few new aspects to take away with them.
I really believe that this cricket guide delivers over and beyond what most will expect.
Conclusion
After reading the guide I was very impressed with the overall depth of and quality which is provided throughout.
The added confirmation of this guides quality from an experienced cricket trader (Luke) gives me no hesitation in giving the cricket trading guide a recommendation.
The guide is very affordable at a price of £45.
There is additional support after purchasing the guide along with access to a community of like minded traders.
All in all Mr X (whoever that is) has produced an excellent trading education product which is in line with the other excellent products Caan Berry has produced.
WinnerOdds is a betting tool that highlights value bets within the tennis markets.
According to the official website.
WinnerOdds includes an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that calculates the real probabilities of all the tennis matches, compares them with the odds offered by the bookmakers and finds more than 5000 value bets per year in order to invest and earn money betting.
The official site shows some pretty impressive results since its inception in May 2016.
Despite tennis being a very popular sport that isn’t a large amount of tennis tipsters providing profitable services. Tennis Ratings and the Pyckio tennis tipster Nishi Kori are two other services that I have heard positive things about.
Lets take a look in this Winnerodds review whether this is also a service that can beat the tennis betting markets.
WinnerOdds Review – The Interface
The interface for WinnerOdds is extremely well polished, whilst also being easy to navigate and set up.
They have a well written tutorial which explains how to use the service. From setting up your bankroll to betting on the value selections that WinnerOdds highlights.
After you spend a few minutes getting familiar with the WinnerOdds software you can move on to selecting the bookmakers that you have available to use.
There are 22 monitored bookmakers. These are the bookmakers which the WinnerOdds software automatically scans and highlights when their algorithm finds value.
The other bookmakers are ones that you can manually search and add bets with if the software flags up a value bet.
WinnerOdds Value Tennis Bets
Once you have set up your bankroll and selected your bookmakers its time to move onto the odds page. On this page you see potential bets that the WinnersOdds software has highlighted as being value.
WinnerOdds’s software shows you the tournament and time that the tennis match is being played. In green it highlights the player you should bet on. You will then see the algorithm’s estimation of the minimum value odds and if a bookmakers is matching that or offering higher it becomes a recommended bet.
When you click highlighted selection, there is the option to adjust the amount staked and also adjust the odds if they have changed. WinnerOdds then tracks this bet for your and automatically updates your bankroll based on the result.
WinnerOdds Results
Lets take a look at the documented historical results of the WinnerOdds software.
WinnerOdds state that had you started with a £1000 bankroll at its inception.
Your total profits would now stand at £40,496 which is extremely impressive. This is over a total of 16295 bets using the suggested staking, averaging a yield of 8.81% per bet.
One important factor to note is that the majority of these selections are not in the top flight tennis competitions ATP and WTA.
WinnerOdds seems to excel in finding value in the lesser know competitions such as the Challenger and ITF categories.
Lets take a look at the results for selections in the ATP.
You can see in the ATP there has been 1542 selections since the WinnerOdds service started.
A profit of £732 has been made with a respectable yield of 2.42% per bet.
In the WTA the results are better.
A profit of £2095 has been made with a yield of 6.7%.
This highlights that WinnerOdds can find value in the higher liquid tennis matches. So for anyone that bets with exchanges this is an option.
Where the WinnerOdds algorithm has really made its money is in the Challenger and IFT competitions.
You can see from the above picture that after 5787 selections.
A profit of £17,871 has been made with a yield of 9.19%.
WinnerOdds Review – Trial Results
I have had two months so far with the WinnerOdds software.
I have been betting the value selections suggested by the software. So far I have logged in every morning around 09.00 and taken the suggested selections. This is a lower volume approach then is optimal.
WinnerOdds does send out selections to your email whenever the service finds new value in the tennis markets.
I found these very frequent and you will often get 20 to 30 selections a day.
These are my results based on 134 selections so far.
Picks
134
Units Bet
242.46
Units Won
43.05
Yield
16.28%
From the image above you can see that my early results have been pretty pain free. The profit graph is moving steadily upwards and there have been no real downswings yet.
Although it should be noted it is early days and a bad run of results could completely undo all of the profit made so far.
I checked my own results to make sure that there was no discrepancy with the odds recorded on my personal log and results recorded in WinnerOdds historical results.
Everything was recorded correctly and gives me confidence that the reported results from WinnerOdds is accurate.
WinnerOdds Pricing
Currently the cheapest option for subscribing to WinnerOdds is to pay every 390 euros (£353) every 6 months. This works out at an average of 65 euros (£59) a months.
This isn’t cheap working out at around £700 a year.
However if you have the required bookmakers available and a bankroll of around £1000. Based on historical results it is very likely that even after taking out subscriptions costs you would be left with a healthy profit.
WinnerOdds Conclusion
Early indications are very promising for WinnerOdds. The historical results are very impressive, the software works well and suggested staking is based on sound betting principals.
To get the most out of WinnerOdds you will need to have the monitored bookmakers available to bet with. Given that the majority of selections are in markets that aren’t offered on the betting exchanges.
Overall I was very impressed with WinnerOdds and I am happy to give it a recommendation.
Banker Bets Value Picks is a service that comes out of the well regarded Banker Bets tipster service. Whereas the original Banker Bets service focuses on finding value at shorts odds in the football markets. Value Picks bucks that trend and looks for value among all odds ranges.
I have been following the Banker Bets Value Picks service since the 28th of July. Here are my results and impressions since I began tracking the service.
Results And Key Stats (Based On £1000 Bank)
Bets
205
Total Staked
£5,100
P/L
£386.82
Return On Investment
7.5%
In total there were 205 bets over a period of 4 months. A total of £5,100 was staked and a profit of £386.82 would have been made following these selections and staking advice.
These results are very solid and could be bettered if you consistently looked to get the best odds when selections are sent.
How does the service run?
Banker Bets Value Picks is run much like the original Banker Bets. You will receive daily emails from John Baker the man behind the service. The emails are usually sent early in the morning between 02.00 – 05.00. Which works well for a lot of people as they can bet the selections before starting work.
The service also provides staking advice based on a 40 point bank of £1000. With stakes ranging from 0.5 points to 2 points.
One of the big positives of the service is that they record results to the average odds available.
For example here is a selection sent from Value Picks. Which will be recorded at odds of 1.73 however was available as high as 1.78. This means that you can consistently better the results that this service is recording.
Looking at the overall results from Banker Bets Value Picks. You can see a very solid return on investment of nearly 8% and profit of £434.57. These results are to average odds.
In my opinion from following this service. Realistically if you shopped around for better odds. You would most likely have achieved a return on investment of 9% or more and profits of around £500.
Banker Bets Value Picks Conclusion
Banker Bets Value Picks is a service that I really like and its results to date are very impressive. It’s a service that I am going to invest in and add to my 50k betting and trading challenge.
With any sports betting service it’s always going to be a question of can they make money long term?
So whilst Banker Bets Value Picks is still quite a new service it is run very professionally and I believe that long term it will be profitable.
This service gets a recommendation from me. I will continue to update this review as I begin to follow Banker Bets Value Picks with my own money.
