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.
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 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. However, the true test lies in the results we achieve during this review, which will ultimately determine the platform’s overall rating.
My Results After 3 Month
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
- Month 1 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.
First Thoughts on Sharp Betting Football Bets
There is a lot I like about Sharp betting football bets and in the future I may run a review betting solely with the bookmakers (which is where the stated profits have been made). Although there were a lot of bets available on the exchanges at matching odds or higher, this review suggests that a lot of the value comes from selections that are only backable with bookmakers. This may not be the case and it could be that we just went through a tough period of variance in this review, a bigger sample size would perhaps confirm this.
If you’ve tried the software yourself, let me know how it has been going. I’d be very interested in your results, especially if you have largely used the bookmakers to place your bets.
