June update
Basketball Geek is run by the Betting Gods stable, and of all the betting agencies this is one I’m most comfortable with because of the excellent way it is run, efficiently and transparently.
That, of course, doesn’t always mean that the services within the stable would be recommended on Cash Master, they also need to be consistently profitable.
Basketball Geek has been producing tips to Betting Gods since November 2019, and has averaged a profit of 24 points per month since then. I will be following the service for three months, beginning in June, to see if he can maintain that success.
The tips are sent through early morning UK for games played around the world. It must be noted that several of the bookies quoted prices are unavailable if you live in the UK, and no doubt in some other countries as well. A lot of them are the newer internet-based bookies who only accept deposits from some of the e-money transfer companies like Neteller and Skrill, and punters using these services would have to factor in the additional costs involved. Also, virtually none of the bets are available at the required prices on the exchanges. However, Bet365, Ladbrokes, William Hill and Coral are oft cited bookies for the required prices.
So, June. Pretty much kept up with the monthly average, with a profit of 22.49 points. All but one bet was a 1 point level stakes bet (the exception was 2 points, and this won). Strike rate was 49% of 159 bets, with an ROI of 14.14%. Longest losing run was 8, and longest winning run was 10. So far, so good.
Hi Dave, I get Steve’s tips, only been with them a short time, only tipster I’ve ever used. Now Betfair, I’ve been with them since they started. No choice now, I’m banned from all leading bookies…. 🙂 Now you say the exchange you really can’t get the prices. Well I’ve got most of them matching the bookies. I’ve noticed something. Say for example you are betting in the overs points. Lets say @1.90 odds over 195.5 Now if you wait till about 30 minutes before the game starts, Betfair often change the number of points. Exchange and SportsBook. Say in this case for example gone up to over 220.5 at the same odds or better. They’ve obviously got info and think there’s gonna be more points. I’ve used that several times with good success. I understand most guys wanna get the bets on with the bookies for the best prices, fair enough, but your stuck with it if things change. But in those hours before the game starts, things change quite often….good luck with the review mate….
Are you saying that you are willing to back the over 220.5 with the same odds that were recommended for 195.5 and you are still profitable?
Hi Adrian…. in a word NO! I laugh…. 🙂 I could have worded that better, perhaps the other way round… LOL What I was trying to say, if you wait say half hour before the game starts and check on Betfair, often things change. Sometimes the over points drop with the same odds, which of course is in your favour. It gives you an idea of how the game might go. Betfair are obviously getting updated info on the teams. I think Betfair have the most efficient odds compared to bookies. I know for a fact a lot of bookies wait till they see what Betfair odds are.
