These days many so-called pro tipsters are popping up every day either on social media or through websites and they claim to offer you a dream amount of money if you pay to join their services.
The question is which professional tipsters for betting are scams and which of them are offering value for money, I have put together a guide on how to avoid the scams and find the hidden gems in the tipster world.
It’s important to remember that paying for betting tips does not guarantee you instant profit, it’s a long-term investment and should be treated as such don’t expect every bet to be a winner it’s just not realistic.
When you join a tipster service you need to give it at least a few months to get the best returns, tipsters that are real will go through the inevitable winning and losing runs and that’s why betting bankrolls are recommended.
The Scams – Red Flags To Watch Out For
I have been running this website for several years now and I have come across a fair few scam tipster services during that time, often from readers emailing me to check them out or help them.
I did create a tipster blacklist and when I come across a real scam service I add them to that page, the biggest of which was The Syndicate who was falsifying results and even asking his members for bank transfers stating he had been hospitalised.
Key Things To Avoid:
- Watch Out For False Results (hard to prove but if you have already joined and the results you are getting don’t match their profit loss record, ie they tipped Red Rum to win @5/1 to you and it lost but their profit loss has the actual winner on it.
- Avoid Unsolicited emails if you haven’t signed up to receive emails from somewhere and you get emails offering you the world in return for money, it is usually a scam.
- Avoid Outlandish Claims If a tipster is stating you can win £20,000 for just a few hours a week and a small risk it’s more than likely a lie.
- Do Your Research read tipster reviews like ours to help you find pro tipsters that are reputable and have a proven track record.
- Coerciveness – if the so-called tipster is contacting you and trying to manipulate you into doing something this is a major red flag.
The Pro Tipsters That Have Credibility
When you want to find professional betting advisors who can help you increase your profit from betting you must look at the following criteria.
- Proven track records look for verified and fuller records of a tipster’s selections and make sure its freely downloadable. You can then verify the results after that date yourself to see if this tipster is falsifying their results or not.
- Independent reviews look for websites like ours that have reviews of the tipster in question and make sure you read a few of them before checking Trustpilot and searching Google to see if there are any scam reports on the tipster.
- Social Proof – On social media you can also look for people’s opinions, though take them with a grain of salt.
- Customer services – The tipster must be easy to contact and reply to you promptly and helpfully, if they fail to reply chances are they don’t care about if you win or lose.
Have A Plan Dont Bet Blind
When selecting a tipster you must know the sports for which you want to use a tipster service and how much money you want to risk (betting bank).
You must also follow a staking plan for example £10 level stakes on every tip or £10 per point advised and a plan of how to take out profits and keep them separate.
One plan could be on an each-way horse racing tipster you will place £5 each way on every selection advised to you with a betting bank of £1000 to start, when and if the betting bank reaches £1500 you could take £500 out and return it to your savings and keep betting the same with your original bank until you reach eh same milestone again.
Alternatively, you could then increase your stakes by 50% as your betting bank has increased by this amount is totally up to you.
