Football betting is notoriously challenging, especially when focusing on the world’s most popular leagues. SharpBetting.co.uk seeks to change the game with a service tailored for both beginners and seasoned bettors. According to its creators, the system has already generated over £100,000 in profit a claim that immediately piqued my interest. As someone always on the lookout for innovative strategies and fresh angles in sports betting, I couldn’t resist diving in to explore what this platform has to offer.
In this review we will take two different approaches.
- Exchange only betting singles
- Betting with bookmakers using multiples (This is the approach that has been suggested as most profitable)
What is Sharp Betting?
Sharp Betting is a platform dedicated to helping sports bettors turn a profit in the competitive betting markets. Covering a range of sports like football, boxing, and horse racing, the site offers insightful articles alongside paid software designed to identify value bets in the football, tennis and horse racing markets. In this review, we’ll focus exclusively on the paid service and the football bets it highlights, diving into how it works and whether it delivers on its promise.
How Does The Football Bets Software Work?
The football bets software is incredibly easy to use. It highlights bets that its algorithm has flagged as value, indicates the bookmaker and odds that are value. There two different types of value bets.
- Red Value Bets – Strongest value bets
- Blue Value Bets – Smaller value bets
These can be backed as single bets or combined in multiples to increase the overall value.
The selections come in a number of different markets:
- BTTS (Most Common)
- Over/Unders
- Match Odds (Least Common)
In terms of bookmakers, sharp betting football covers 12 different bookmakers. Some selections however are available with the betting exchanges and also other bookmakers which are not covered by the software but you can sometimes find better odds manually searching for the selections (if the bookmaker/exchange is not on the software).
Sharp Betting Success Stories
SharpBetting showcases several success stories from users who have leveraged their software to achieve impressive results. One standout example is David, who turned 100 hours of betting into £8,000 profit (6000 bets). Similarly, Leah’s journey from a football betting novice to earning £7,500 highlights the software’s potential for profitability. These results were made using the software with soft bookmakers such as Skybet, Bet365 etc.
However, the true test lies in the results we achieve during this review, which will ultimately determine the platform’s overall rating.
Sharp Betting Subscription Cost
Sharp betting offer a few different subscription models ranging from long term (annual) to shorter term (Monthly). The longer term options offer much better value and to succeed with this type of betting (value betting) you will usually want to put in as much volume as possible.

Results After 3 Months (Exchange Betting)
I’ve been using the Sharp Betting software for three months now. During this time, I’ve placed a total of 1527 bets. For the purpose of this review, I’ve used £10 stakes for bets with odds up to 6.0, and £5 stakes for odds above 6.0. While the majority of selections fall below odds of 6.0, there are occasional higher odds picks included. In the review I will be sticking to single bets and have placed all bets on the exchanges at either matching or above those quoted on Sharp Betting (including the commission).
I should note that the sharp betting football selections are intended for soft bookmakers, having seen the amount of selections that were available on the exchanges I decided to test it purely on selections available with Betfair.
Let’s take a look at results after three months!
- Total bets: 1527
- Overall P/L: – £158
After three months of betting and over 1500 selections we ended up with a loss. The software does generate a high volume of selections, however with the big summer leagues ending the amount of bets available on the exchanges in June was minimal. After two months we were back to break even after being down -£530 at one point in the trial. Unfortunately the lack of selections available on the exchanges and poor results in the last month saw the trial ending in a loss.
Results Using Bookmakers and Multiples Bets
We are currently in the first month of testing for this approach and will provide an update once we have some results.
Conclusion
The first test of the software using exchange only selections did not prove to be profitable. However this is not the suggested way to use the software and was an approach I took mainly for my own betting to see if it would be profitable. It does suggest that the strongest value selections identified by the software will be in markets not available on the exchange.
Our second trial of the software will be aimed at using it with soft bookmakers and also using multiples. Hopefully this will prove to be a profitable approach and make a long term profit.
Hi, im testing the software as wel, how are your results going lately?
what bookmakers did you select to try to match the odds on the exchanges?
thanks for the good read…
Using all bookmakers, still down around -£300 at the moment
currently trialling with small stakes. shaky start but in profit. using Betfair only and being fairly selective on bet choice – only backing between odds of 1.9 and 3.0.
Interesting, any reason for those odds ranges?
Personally I don’t back much below 1.9 on any markets or strategy due to risk vs reward. Also tend to avoid backing over 3.0 as strike rate can be pretty poor. The odds range i choose are hopefully a sweet spot , however after 600 bets on Sharp Betting I too am in a loss. I really like the software and ease of use but not sure I’m going to continue.
I’ve just joined up with Sharp betting , and will post my results over the next month. I’m a bit confused as you mentioned in your You tube video your paying £30 pm month. I’m on the £20 pm month which only gives you so many bets per day. The next package up is £55 pm. Maybe they have increased their prices recently perhaps.
Going to test the water like they say over the next month, with only placing a few bets per day is fine.
I know the variance on value betting can be bad. It’s a long game approach as we all know.
They increased the prices recently, be interested in your results.
Hi – I’ve been trialling the Sharp Betting Football Service for the last 60 days, so thought I’d share my experience with you. Firstly, this is the first time I’ve ever paid for tips/bets, but thought that Chris and David came across as knowledgeable guys in the videos I’d seen with them, so thought I’d take the plunge whilst the service was available at £30 a month. I’ve been placing £10 single bets, regardless of the odds, and have been placing bets anywhere between 10 minutes before kick-off, up to 24 hours before kick-off. To start with I was using both bookmakers and the exchanges to place my bets.
I got off to a terrible start, and after 427 bets was £776.84 down and thinking I should probably call it quits there and then. I noticed that my bets on the exchange were showing a particularly poor return, and as the system is only proven to be profitable with the soft books, decided to stop using the exchange. A period of stability followed, but I was still £754.30 down after a total of 826 bets. At this point the results picked up and I went on an incredible run of results. Over the next 241 bets, I made £1300.82 to get my overall total up to £546.52 in profit. However, since that run of results, it’s been pretty consistent losses, and after 1,859 bets placed, I am currently showing an overall loss of £265.80.
On the plus side the Sharp Betting website is easy to use, and seems reliable in terms of selections always being available at the quoted odds. On the downside, I made a loss after a decent sample of bets. I’m sure Chris and David would argue that I need to give it longer to fully test the system, but with less time to place and record my bets over the summer, I’m giving it a break for a while. I may give it another go when the big European leagues are established in a couple of months time. I’m interested to hear if anyone else has made a profit over the last couple of months. I’ve only been placing singles, I would imagine that if I’d placed multiples as the website suggests, my losses would have been even bigger. Thanks, Dave.
Thanks for the feedback Dave
I joined up early doors (before June) as price went up to £55 then, which I think is expensive, £25-£30 seemed the right price.
I lost as well over the 2 month period I subscribed, usually around 100 bets a day so again a decent sample ish.
It was my first dip into the value betting so was going in blind so didn’t know what to expect.
If I went in again, I think I would camp around similar odds as the earlier poster.
Just think the price now is too expensive at £55 especially for small bettors trying to grow
Did you bet with bookmakers only?
