A pleasing day on Monday with +3.7pts profit. I had some decent winners on the racing! The football betting isn’t going as well.

I want to talk about how past results offer no guarantee of future success. It’s very easy to make a quick judgement on a tipster based on their profit or ROI and dive in head first. With gambling you could come unstuck pretty quickly.

Even there very best tipsters will have poor runs. The higher the odds they tip at, the longer those losing streaks can become.

There is no real solution to this problem. My best advice is just take your time selecting which tipsters you follow. Don’t base that decision purely on their profit/loss and ROI.

Look for a results sheet. Are they consistent from one month to the next? Or have they just landed a few big winners to inflate their profit?

There are also tipsters out there that will scam you. They look legit. They built smart websites will full results history.

There’s a golf tipster out there who claims to have inside knowledge. At one stage they were promoting a 100% ROI across 4 seasons of tipping. Every review they had was 5 star. Be careful, there are bull shitters like this around.

I’m not here to shame those dickheads. I did that, I just a whole lot of abuse and it wasn’t worth my while. So rather than focus on those lying, cheating, scumbags, I’m on a search to find honest, reliable tipsters that you can follow and win a few quid.

Anyhow, today’s tip, don’t trust everything you read and even when a tipster is genuine, their past results do not guarantee future success, so always start with low stakes.
