Mark O’Haire contacted me and had some really kind things to say about Betting Kingdom which I’m still very grateful for. He also kindly gave me free access to his WLB Gold Channel so I could track my own results and offer a fair review. I’ve surpassed 100 bets, which is still a very small sample, but wanted to share my early findings.
I’ve made a profit. So that’s a bonus. But it’s a small one. 105 bets, +1.97pts and a ROI of 2.5%. That’s below the 5% mark I look for when following a tipster and obviously excludes any subscriptions fees that most of you will have to pay.
What about the service? Well tips are shared via Telegram. The volume is high. Mark O’Haire has posted more tips than any of the other tipsters in my current portfolio. In fact he posts twice as many as all but 1 of the other tipsters I follow. Again that’s over a small sample.
The tips are Bet Builders and often doubles. So it does take a little longer to place the bets. Whilst I track all my bets I don’t enter all the details as that would really be time consuming given the nature of the selections.
The tips are well presented with clear and concise information regarding the Date, League, selections, bookmakers, odds and stake. Given the majority of tips are stats based the staking plan doesn’t vary much with the majority of tips being 1.5pts. Mark always provides a comprehensive write up for his selections but given my limited time and the volume of tips I never read them personally (sorry).
The big problem for me has been William Hill. From my own experience they are now a terrible bookmaker. One day they accept my bets, the next they limit my stakes and the next they refuse the bet completely. Mark uses William Hill quite a lot and that causes me an issue and might have affected my profit/loss.
I’ve been tracking my odds availability and to date I manage to match the price on 55% of Mark’s tips which is below my 60% average. Again William Hill are likely to be a big reason for that and I understand a lot of punters may have full access, so bear that in mind.
I’m definitely going to continue to follow Mark and WLB Gold and will update this review when I reach 250 bets.
