Topic: What You Need to Do Before Choosing a Tipster - page 2. (Read 443 times)

great thing you share this helpful info , people usually make a guide like this in general . but i see this one more specific. i was used bet adviser long time ago here in the forum , i have got a lot of nice odds with him and wonderful winning, too bad as time goes by everything changed he seems throw everything randomly , that is my experience when i do following strange random tipster in this forum , the track record will never enough qualified as a pro tipster.

so yes i vouch better to look for a member who have reputation already outside the forum and offering the service here.

The most important point for me is point number 2. If the tipster service fit with my budget, I will then do the analysis on other points that I think are not less important. Checking the history of a tipster is a must for me.

Great guide OP, I personally agree that knowing those guidelines first before starting to pick a good tipster will do. The guide is very helpful, and if we just
follow the guide and take each factor seriously for us to have better option. Tipsters are also considered according to their stats and how they perform with their respected fields. Again OP, thank you for providing this thread and hope more people will start reading the guide.

to be honese I haven't got involved much with tipsters in this forum , the majority of tipsters here aren't posting how much they are up or down with their picks which is always a shady thing to do since it mainly means they are hiding something
but personally I'm involved with some tipsters outside bitcointalk and I'm paying them some money monthly for their service , you can check my progress in my following thread since I'm tracking every single pick that I follow for them

Just as you choose a site that provides this online betting game, you also have to apply the same so as to be able to find the best and will never disappoint you at all. Do not let your case of fraud due to wrong choosing a pointer because if many trusted tipster, then more and more agents are also not trusted and just want to get big profits from yourself.

First of all, i really impress with you as you explain about Tipster. I know it really helpful for us and i rely on it that in this forum you have been successful to convince the members that what we need to do before choosing a Tipster.

Well, to be fair, BTC prices are constantly growing so on average it's extremely easy to be profitable.
It's different with betting since there isn't an asset constantly growing in value.
Many tipsters that have a positive track for a long period have some good skills.

@SyGambler. Good advice, thank you. Can you also give us a tip of who you reckon are the best tipsters to follow in the forum? There are so many of them, and it's so hard to choose because they are all winners like the traders in the speculation subforum hehehe.

Thanks for this. I follow tipsters pretty much randomly, as eventually I tend to follow my own judgments (okay, maybe instincts haha) when betting on sports but I have spent time following some tipsters, if only because their statistics interest me. Trying to learn or spot common traits among winning tipsters don't really work, especially as most tipsters don't accompany their tips with analysis (and those who do like on ESPN, aren't very good at winning!).

I would add that profit %s are quite useless since it depends on systems they use to make bets. I like those sites that track all tips and automatically update statistics, by way of stakes... which allows you to see average wager sizes, and risks, so you can tell those who make consistently good calls with consistently sized wagers. This weeds out those who like to "gamble" on a big stake doubler to make up for many bad calls.

no don't get me wrong , there are actually some good tipsters who offer a reasonable price and they are indeed giving profitable tips
but the majority of the sites are just not good or the pricing is ridiculous
if you do some research you should be able to find good ones and spend your money on a good investment

Thanks for posting this good guide, I know a lot of my friends are gamblers, they are always searching for some applications or some site that give them free tips on sports betting and sometimes it's premium, They are not smart enough to know that the seller is just a scam. I always tell them, there is no fixed match or anything like that. Every gambler should refer to a lot of tipster sites and use your brain to choose and don't follow anyone.

thanks for passing by , indeed I have a thread where I track the tipsters that I follow ( both paid and free ) so you can check it and see hows it going since I update it weekly

also feel free to post about free tipsters that have profitable records , that would be appreciated actually

Thanks for listing this tips which is really true most of the time.Having these kind of considerations would really be good for us to avoid on such useless act.Instead on making money we would might end up on losing because of the fees that is being charged thats why im not really engaged too much on paid service.Most probable step for me is on following those free ones with a good track record.

Talking to this one:

5- Be ready to create many sportsbetting accounts
if you are not shopping for the best odds then you are missing a huge value in the long run , each 1% and each 1 cent count in the long run
so in case to profit the most you should have access to many sports providers and this can be a little easier when you have an account with a sports broker

You should really be ready on this because having accessibility is always been an important thing.

hello guys , so recently I got some questions about how to spot good tipsters and how to know if this service is good or not so decided to open a topic here with some headlines of the things that you should research a little before buying paid picks

1- Check the tipster or the site's record
before even considering buying you need to see some stats and graphs for the tipster , we all saw how many calimed that they have 80% win rate with crazy ROI
well all of the above are just words without proof , so you need to research more about them and see people's experiences in the forums
some sites offer full stats and records that are tracked by a 3rd party site , you need to stick to these cause with no proof that the tipster  actually had a profitable run in the past then most likely you will be wasting your money and bankroll

2- do some calculates to see if the price suits you
this is a main concept too , cause let's face it we all don't have that much spare money or sometimes even if the tipster is profitable you may end up losing since maybe you are paying him more than what you are actually winning following his picks
to do that try to not pay over 5 units of your betting bankroll to a monthly subscription

3- ask more about the betting volume
the volume of the picks is so crucial , for example imagine paying 200$ a month for a tipster that has a proven 10% ROI , but then you found out that this tipster only gives one pick or two every week , you may end up spending more than what your bankroll afford
so even if the tipster is profitable he may not suit you
another example : a tipster with 3% ROI that averages 5 picks a day is way better than a tipster that has 10% ROI with 2-3 picks a week

4- ask them for a proof of odds
sportsbetting and gambling in general mainly depend on the odds , that will determine how the gamblers will do in the long run
we can all claim that we are profitable if we can fake the odds , imagine the tipster telling you to pick a team with X1.9 odds then you keep searching for that price and end up finding X1.8 top , well if the tipster pick was won then the pick will has 10% more profit
so by faking the odds a losing tipster may be seen as a profitable tipster

so always choose a site that post the source of the odds

5- Be ready to create many sportsbetting accounts
if you are not shopping for the best odds then you are missing a huge value in the long run , each 1% and each 1 cent count in the long run
so if you want to profit the most you should have access to many sports providers and this can be a little easier when you have an account with a sports broker


I guess these are the main points to consider , if you have any question feel free to leave a comment here

good luck all
