I’m not here to call websites out and find potential scams. That’s not why I’ve set up this site. And generally most of the betting tools I post on here will be excellent and useful for punters. But when a site like this appears at the top of google’s rankings for the term “betting tipsters”, I feel it important to share some insight.

The reason for that is a I want punters to avoid losing money. Whether that be to bookmakers or tipsters. This industry is polluted with greed and even those big firms employ underhand tactics to maximise their revenue. So you can’t blame smaller sites for trying their luck.

So what is this Betting Tipsters website? I don’t really know in truth but it looks dodgy from the moment you land on the site. Again that’s pure speculation and I have no proof.

But any tipster asking you to pay £119 per week (£476 per month) should send your alarms clocks into a frenzy. Most tipster services will charge at the most, 10% of this asking price. It’s almost impossible to make enough profit from tips to cover that subscription cost.

Anyone who had a basic understanding of how betting works, would know they cannot earn their customers money charging that amount. Sadly not all punters are as shrewd, especially if this site is ranked top of google, that could trick them.

The names of their tipsters are a bit suspect too. Charlie Cook from the UK, Sigurour Edinarsson from Iceland, Tom Van De Meent from Holland and Pierre Bonnet from France. Really?

I took a closer look at these tipsters and they all adopt a very similar approach. The markets they focus on are BTTS, Over/Under and match result. They all seem to post 3-5 tips per day, regardless of the number of matches available.

There’s no profit or loss stats, no ROI figures, just a win rate and recent form stats. It’s madness. How the hell is this website top of google?

It also turns out Mr.Cook from the UK has won his last 20 tips in a row. So either he is the best tipster in the World, or again we are being duped. I’ll let you make your mind up.

I nearly forget to mention, at the bottom of the page it’s made clear that they operate a “No Refund Policy”. Well that’s a surprise. Can we report websites like this to the Gambling Commission?

The point being, just because a site tops google for a key search term, doesn’t mean it’s any good. There are lots of tipsters out there trying to scam you, so please have your wits about you before investing any of your hard earned money.
