Not recommended. I’ve followed Kris on and off last year, but re-joined the premium at the end of November.
I tracked December at -47u and so far January is -10u. Profitability is one area that I’ve marked Kris down on, but it’s the way this has gone that adds to it.
There are several areas which I didn’t enjoy –
P&L irregularities – I soon spotted that there were differences in my P&L to Kris’s. When I looked into this further I spotted that stakes for winning bets were increased on a couple of occasions. I contacted Kris and was told that someone else does the P&L and he will fix it. I didn’t check the whole month but this wasn’t a good look.
Tracking boosts – Kris tracks boosts in his P&L. This is unusual and unlike most tipsters. A boost is a sportsbook promotion, not a market price.
Always taking best price –
This one is up to Kris, but because of the way the betting is structured (very early prices and going for early value) Kris will shop around and post the best possible price. Fair enough to do this, but many don’t and it makes the P&L unachievable for most.
Early value is not good for sportsbook –
Taking so much early value is not great for your account, so I’d caution against this
‘Super safe banker bets’ – during December Kris posted some ‘super safe banker bets’ involving selections at very low prices in an acca. Again this is up to Kris, but feels muggy on the research side.
Switching strategy – when i trialled in November, selections were pretty consistent on the goal line in lower leagues. After December went badly, Kris started adding in shot markets, including on small markets where it was difficult to follow away from B365. Again this is up to Kris, but highlights that he’s unsettled with his own approach and trying desperately to find a winner rather than sticking to strategy. He also claims to be influenced by followers, which can’t be a good thing.
Overall – not one i’d recommend.
