There’s a lot of noise on betting X, so it’s worth saying what Baker actually does differently. He isn’t handing you a selection and a stake and telling you to get on. He’s doing the research.

The stats lists are the best thing here. Ahead of a match you’ll get a breakdown of the angles worth knowing — which players consistently win fouls, who commits them, how tackle counts have gone in recent meetings, where the corners tend to come from.

That’s genuinely useful, and it’s the sort of legwork most punters won’t do for themselves. If you like player markets and bet builders but can’t face trawling through match data on a Saturday morning, this account saves you an hour.

He does pick out angles he fancies too, and the reasoning is usually sound and specific rather than the vague “I like the look of this” you get elsewhere.

The Baker’s Dozen is the fun end of it — a 13-leg accumulator posted when there’s a full card on, priced anywhere up to 795/1. Enjoy it for what it is. Thirteen legs is a lottery ticket however good the legs are individually, so keep the stake to pocket change and treat it as entertainment rather than the main event.

The one thing to be aware of is that because this is a free service built around stats rather than advised bets, there’s no published profit and loss to point at. That’s not a criticism — it’s the nature of the format, since you’re choosing your own combinations and prices. But it does mean you’re judging the ideas on their merit rather than a tracked record, so track your own results if you follow it seriously.

You’ll also see bookmaker sign-up offers posted alongside the tips, which is how a free account like this pays its way. Nothing wrong with that, just worth knowing the links are commercial.

Free, well-researched and a genuine time-saver for bet builder punters. Worth a follow.
