Joe Townsend is the football editor at SportingLife. I imagine that means his main role is checking the content provided by others, tipsters like Jimmy the Punt, Jake Osgathorpe, Tom Carnduff and Mark O’Haire.

But from time to time Joe will also post tips of his own and to be honest I’ve been impressed. So much so I was forced to add this profile when using another of his selections for my best bets feature.

All of Joe’s tips will appear for free on the SportingLife website. He doesn’t really promote them via his X profile so it’s difficult to get notifications.

But if like me you are simply looking for the best bets, regardless of who tips them, then it would seem Joe Townsend is certainly a tipster worth having on your list.

As with all of the excellent betting tips posted on SportingLife, they are completely free, come with some well researched insight and a sensible staking plan.

Joe recently shared his profit/loss which is available via the link on this page. His ROI is excellent, but due to his infrequent posts, the profit across the entire season is often quite low. But when Joe tips, you want to take notice.
