Making a million from sports betting

September was an interesting month.

Enjoyed football being back in full flow until the dreaded international break. There were some exciting UFC events to bet on and I spent much more time looking at live betting/trading football.

Let’s take a look at how things went in Month 66 of the challenge!

Value Betting/Trading

Not a great month for value betting which hit a pretty bad losing streak pretty early on. Didn’t find any really big pre match trading opportunities either to counter the down swing.

The international break also meant a reduction in the amount of bets compared to last month.

In total there were 176 bets made in September.

A total loss of -£1197 was made.

Overall a disappointing month for value betting and pre match trading. However long term the strategy is solid, I know it works just got to continue to put the work in.

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

Been a while but finally hit a decent win on a casino offer.

Betfair had been running a bet £25 get £5 bonus promotion for a few weeks, which was plus ev. Managed to hit a bonus round whilst staking £5 and won £651.

Overall I took part in 13 casino offers during September.

A profit of £697 was made in total.

Smart Sports Betting Community/MMA Results

Booked in a losing month for MMA betting.

One bet that I was really confident in was Jake Collier to win inside the distance. This looked like it was going to cash in the few minutes as Collier put a beating on Barnett for most of the opening round.

However props to Barnett, he was incredibly tough and came out to finish Collier in the 2nd.

Overall I made 6 MMA bets this month and a loss of -£392 was made.

Horse Racing Tipsters

Down to following one horse racing tipster at the moment. That horse racing tipster is Kieran Ward’s Value Tips (free SBC tipster.)

Occasionally I also have my own horse racing selections which are based on market movement.

From the start of September horse racing bets were in the red. This continued throughout the month and there were many days where no selections were placed.

Overall a loss of -£227 was made from horse racing.

FTS Systems

FTS is a subscription service that offers a wide range of data to help you develop profitable betting strategies.

Currently I am running 3 season long strategies. One strategy focuses on laying the draw, the second strategy is goals based backing unders. The third strategy is again a lay strategy on the match odds markets.

During September these three strategies combined made a profit of £699.

In-Play Betting (Football and UFC) And Misc Bets

Last month I started looking a lot more at the in-play betting markets for football. This is something I have looked at previously but this month I approached it slightly differently .

The video below outlines an in-play trading session on football, discussing some of the strategies used.

Alongside the in-play betting, I also follow selections from a few podcasts and articles.

The football guys at Matchbook Insights are worth a listen with Mark O’Haire in particular being pretty sharp.

A total of £1553 was made from in-play betting and misc bets.

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.

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.

Month 62 is done in the “Making a Million Challenge” and it was another very good month with Golf and Horse racing tipsters chipping in with decent profits.

Things will be a bit quieter now we are in June and the majority of the football leagues take their summer break.

Let’s take a look at results from May.

Value Betting/Trading

There was a bit more volatility in value betting this month. With it being the end of the season and varying motivations for teams. Odds movement in football becomes much more volatile.

Whilst a lot of my value betting looks at recurring patterns in the markets, it was a little bit different during May. I couldn’t just rely on looking at odds movement as the markets behaved pretty differently.

I often use Trademate to keep track of closing line. You can see from the above image that there were some big swings in prices by the time games kicked off.

Overall however it was another very good month. The gravy train that was Bet365 odds boost has slowed but they still offer decent value now and again.

One of my long term Bet365 accounts was limited which is always frustrating however had it had lasted about 2 years. So can’t really complain.

Using the exchanges as much as possible as long term there are only a limited amount of people I can work with. In terms of getting bets down on soft books.

In total there were 325 bets made.

A total profit of £3813 was made.

Not much to write about here, there are more offers that I could be doing. However I just don’t really have the motivation to grind casino offers like previously. Sticking to doing higher value reload offers when they come through.

If you are looking to build a bankroll then doing lower value offers is worthwhile. Looking through Oddsmonkey’s casino reload offers you can still make £50+ a week from casino offers, fairly easily.

A profit of £856 was made from pre fight MMA bets this month.

Horse Racing Tipsters

Rejigged the horse racing portfolio this month, after things had been a little flat for a while.

In came the highly touted Hansbury Racing, along with the free SBC tipster “No Photo Needed.”

Along with the long standing tipster in the portfolio Kieran Ward’s Value Tips (Another free SBC tipster.)

Results were really strong this month with Hansbury Racing having some big winners early on in the month. Before giving a decent amount of the profit back. Whilst Kieran Ward and No Photo Needed had strong second half’s of the month which maintained a decent profit overall for the month.

During May a profit of £581 was made from stakes ranging from £10 to £30.

Golf

PGA Profit came good this month in pretty emphatic fashion. Hitting 3 big priced winners over the course of the month. Tipping Sam Burns (34.0 winner), Justin Thomas (17.0 winner) and Max Homa (46.0 winner) which recouped all losses from the year and put the tipster up just under 100 points for the year.

Unfortunately for me. I completely forgot to place my golf bets the week Max Homa won. (Which is  the first week this year that this has happened.)

Only realizing on the Friday when golf had already started. Which meant I missed out on a 46.0 winner, buts that’s betting sometimes these things happen.

Overall a profit of £466 was made from golf

Misc

A profit of £167 was made following bets from free tipsters and misc bets.

This section basically includes profit on my daily P/L which is not accounted for in any of the other sections.

One free tipster that I think is worth a follow comes from Asian Connect. If you register your interest with them as broker you get sent free tips.

I don’t bet every selection but I think the break downs usually make sense. In this case Poland did shorten pretty significantly before the game started.

Thoughts

This year has been excellent so far. Profit made so far in the first 5 months is around what I normally make in a year. I am aware that I am running really well and expect things to slow down in the next two month. With a lot less football available to bet on, alongside the fact that I am clinging on to the last few soft books I have available.

In contrast to how well this year has been for me betting wise. The UK betting industry does seem to be on its arse, with over regulation and silly affordability limits. Looking like it could ruin the game completely or force all serious bettors into the black market.

Time will tell!

Given there is a lot less to bet on this month. Going to take a look at other ways to make money besides betting. Just in case it becomes no longer viable.

Looking at freelance writing jobs, creating another website. Always thought trading the financial markets could be interesting. Similar to sports betting it seems like the majority of people get burnt trading however there are those that are doing it successfully.

Thanks for reading will be back with the next report in July.

Month 61 has been and gone in the “Making A Million Challenge.”

Building on a record month in March where for the first time a fix figure profit was made.

April was going to be interesting, let’s take a look at the results.

Value Betting/Trading

Another strong month for value betting and trading.

Although with football nearing the end of the season, my usual strategy wasn’t as straight forward. Some teams have bigger motivations then others with potential relegation/promotion. Whilst other teams had little to play for.

This means more volatility in the football markets.

Bet365 also seemed to have settled down a little with their boosts. Initially they seemed to be offering value on almost every game, however now they are being a little bit more selective.

In total there were 512 bets made.

A total profit of £3042 was made.

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

It was the lowest volume month in years for me when it came to completing casino offers. Just doesn’t seem to be as much around as there was. However I will also admit that I am not actively looking every day.

Let me know in the comments if your still doing a lot of casino offers?

During April I did 10 offers.

A profit of £190 was made.

Smart Sports Betting Community/MMA Results

A profit of £690 was made from 9 bets this month on the pre fight MMA selections.

I also bet in-play on MMA using Betfair but I added these results to the value betting/trading section. The pre fight bets I send out for free on Discord.

Horse Racing Tipsters

The horse racing tipsters are holding steady at the moment.

CD Systems is having a a pretty bad year but has a stellar record behind it.

I always find it tough following tipsters, as you always wonder whether the downswings are due to variance.

Has something changed in the market?

Do they still have an edge?

The other two horse tipsters made a profit this month.

Quentin Franks Racing – Betting odds 5.0 or above using only exchanges (Click Here For Our Review)

Kieran Ward Value Service (Free Smart Betting Club Tipster)

A total of £354 was made from horse racing.

Staking £10 on horses above odds of 10.00 and £20 stakes on odds below 10.00.

A New Tipster Emerges

Hansbury Racing is a tipster that readers have emailed me about. It’s a service that multiple stellar reviews. Including the Smart Betting Club who recently showed in their review that the service is very profitable even betting at Betfair SP.

So it made sense with football winding down to look at adding more on the horse racing side. Hansbury Racing looks like it should be a good addition.

Golf

It was a poor month for Golf betting.

PGA Profit has not performed very well this year, my own value selections (based on what the markets is doing) also under performed this month.

Overall a loss of -£463 was made betting on golf.

Misc

Misc includes bets from free tipsters such as Matchbook Insights.

Along with other bets/trades that I don’t track in any of the above categories. For example live bets if I watching a game. However I do add these to my daily P/L at the end of every day.

From this section a profit of £506 was made.

Thoughts

Overall it was another strong month. With football winding down and no big international tournament in the summer profits are likely to drop.

The horse racing markets are still something I would like to get more involved in. From talking to people it seems like one of the sports where following tipsters is a good option.

Other then that I think its just a case of continuing to scale what is working at the moment. Which is mostly value betting and a few strategies of my own that are based on beating the closing line.

I do want to keep this blog interesting, as I realize just writing profits from strategies I am not willing to give away will become tiresome. So if you do have any interesting tipsters or services, you would like me to trial let me know.

First month into 2022 and it was a rocky one from a betting perspective.

Value betting went through a period were it was just constant losses for a couple of weeks. Didn’t matter what the odds were or how much I beat the closing line.

Just seemed like the god of betting, enjoyed seeing me lose day after day.

Let’s get into the results from January!

Value Betting

Value betting was a bit of a roller coaster this month. Went through a losing period that I never experienced before early on in the month. For around 100 bets it seemed like 90% lost, whilst it was very frustrating. I wasn’t doing anything different from the last few years.

It’s a proven strategy, the staking was fine. It was just a case of riding out the storm(Was what I told myself to stop me launching the computer through the window.)

On the plus side found a few new angles this month to get on more value bets on. Started staking more and trading the bets I was confident would shorten.

This is something I have been doing for quite a while. Value betting day in day out has meant that I have looked at thousands of betting markets. Because of this there are a few patterns that occur over and over. Some of these can be bet using the exchanges, along with local shops.

Trading these selections should reduce variance with value betting. Effectively your just getting even larger value bets. For example getting Mansfield at 4.7 when the true odds were 2.7.

During January there were 250 value bets.

A loss of -£1083 was made.

A small winning month for casino offers in January.

Not a whole lot going on with casino offers at the moment. There are a few recurring Bet365 offers week in and week out. Casumo had a decent 30% cashback offer on live casino games. Overall however not getting a lot of volume at the moment.

During January I did 52 offers.

A profit of £504 was made.

 Click Here For To Learn How To Make Money From Casino Offers

Smart Sports Betting Community/MMA Results

Only 7 bets in January as there wasn’t the usual weekly UFC event. With only two events happening.

Overall a profit of £789 was made

Horse Racing Tipsters

The horse racing tipsters delivered again in January. With Beth Bet being a big part of that and providing the majority of the selections.

So it was it was a surprise to get an email in the last week of January. Stating that they would be closing the service.

Not sure why, there was no reason given. However it has left quite a hole in the horse racing tipster portfolio. Which will really effect the turnover.

Overall a profit of £1268 was made.

The staking plan for horse racing is very simple – £10 on horses odds of 10.00 above and £20 on horses at odds of below 10.00.

Beth Bets exit leaves two horse racing tipsters at the moment.

Quentin Franks Racing – Betting odds 5.0 or above using only exchanges (Click Here For Our Review)

Kieran Ward Value Service (Free Smart Betting Club Tipster)

New Tipsters

Beth Bet has opened my eyes to how profitable horse racing betting can be. I am looking to add some more tipsters and if anyone has recommendations please let me know.

A few that I am considering at the moment are.

The Value Machine

Looks like the closest service to Beth Bet however I am not sure how workable it would be with the exchanges.

CD Systems Daily Bargain

Has solid long terms results and is a service that is profitable on the exchanges.

Lucrative Racing

Have a few different services that look very promising.

If anyone has feedback on any of these services, let me know in the comments or send me an email.

Golf

The Golf portfolio came good this month, after stuttering along for a while.

PGA profit chipped in with some nice winners.

Could have been much better but I disappointingly missed the email (my own fault) sent from the Smart Betting Club’s free tipster Rainmaker. Who gave out the winner Luke List at odds of 80.00.

Overall however it was good to get a winning month from the golf betting.

There were 67 golf bets in January, a profit of £265 was made.

Trading/Free Tipsters/Misc

Everything else accounted for a loss of -£441.

Mainly down to some of the free tipster selections that I take performing badly. Last year using several different free tipsters was pretty profitable. Then when Betmarkets folded (which was where I was getting a lot of tips from) I just stopped doing it.

However there are a number of decent people to follow on twitter that give out good betting tips.

Below are a couple that I follow and recommend.

Harout Massoyan (Tennis)

Bet On Value (Football)

Skeeve (Lower League English football)

Thoughts

An interesting month were mid way through I had pretty much accepted it would be a losing one. One positive aspect of this month was despite when things were going really sh**. At no point did I consider changing anything that I was doing, as long term I know it wins.

Which earlier on in my betting would not have been the case.

Caught in two minds when it comes to betting. As much I enjoy it, the future of betting professionally in the UK doesn’t look great. Single customer view (looks to be happening) and silly monthly deposit limits have already effected some of my accounts. In terms of scaling things up these issues do get in the way.

Whilst I am sure I will always bet whilst its profitable. I have for a while been contemplating about putting more time into something else. Just in case making a primary income from betting becomes something that’s not possible anymore.

But for now whilst there is still money to made, it makes sense to see how far I can take it.

Alright that’s another year of betting in the books.

Overall it was a profitable and although covid still rears its ugly head. 2021 felt like a much more normal year compared to 2020 where everything seemed to be on hold.

If you want to take a look at results over the whole year, you can view the videos below.

(The video is broken up into 2 parts)

If you just want to take a look at results from December, let’s dig into them!

Value Betting

Strong end to the year for value betting.

Increased my staking on some of the bigger value bets this month. Previously i capped my max bet at £200 but I increased this to £300 in December. Which paid off as a number of the higher value bets paid off.

Something else that I also do with bigger value bets that I am confident will continue to shorten in odds. Is hedge half of the stake which in turn gives me a larger value bet.

This lowers the variance of value betting long term. When looking at value bets which don’t start for a few days it can be a good strategy to use.

During December there were 264 value bets.

A profit of £2312 was made.

Advantage Play – Casino Offers

Casino offers came back with a solid winning month to end the year.

Feel like results have been a little underwhelming this year after a really strong 2020.

However I know I have done a lot less in terms of volume this year. To be honest casino offers are pretty mindless and almost just data entry this point.

Where as with betting I get a bit more stimulation out of trying to beat the game.

During December I did 78 offers.

A loss of £879 was made.

Smart Sports Betting Community/MMA Results

I small profit with MMA betting in the last month of the year.

After 10 bets a profit of £329 was made.

Horse Racing Tipsters

On to the horse racing portfolio, which has been something of a revelation this year.

It’s something that I hope can really allow me to scale profits up. Due to the volume that you can get down on a daily basis. Feels like it could be a game changer for me as long as thing continue to go well.

My staking plan is very simple – £10 on horses odds of 10.00 above and £20 on horses at odds of below 10.00.

This is the line up of horse racing tipsters I now use.

Quentin Franks Racing – Betting odds 5.0 or above using only exchanges (Click Here For Our Review)

Kieran Ward Value Service (Free Smart Betting Club Tipster)

Beth Bet (Read The Review)

Barstewards Podcast Selections ( Podcast Link)

During December a profit of £257 was made.

Not the most mind blowing figures for December but over the whole year a profit of £4420 was made. With stakes ranging from £5 – £20.

Which is encouraging going forward.

Trading/Golf/Misc

Whilst everything else was profitable losses came in a few areas.

There weren’t many golf bets in December but that accounted for losses of -£120.

Experimented with Winnerodds software on the exchanges in December combined my own betting/trading also accounted for losses of -£609

A loss of -£729 was made.

Thoughts

Thanks if you are someone that actively reads these on a monthly basis.

Although I am still far off making a million. Writing these monthly blog posts does keep me motivated and accountable for my betting.

Hopefully you get some value from them, wish you all the best for 2022!
