Should soccer betting tips be taken as investments?

Buying winning tips from a reliable tipster is tempting but at the same time it could be detrimental to your betting interests. The first thing you need keeping in mind is a tipster is also a punter like you and he can also make mistakes and lose bets. It would be wrong to rely totally on the wisdom of tipsters.

Tippers aren’t magicians

Tipsters make tall claims regarding their association with football and betting; they make promises that seem unbelievable and difficult to fulfill and also they give guarantee of success. Simply put, they do everything they can to attract punters and sell tips. But they aren’t magicians or astrologers to make true predictions regarding football.


Should I rely on tips?

Yes you should but only when you find a reliable tipper. The question you should try answering first who a reliable tipper is. There are thousands of websites on soccer betting tips but not all are reliable. A large number of tippers are working only to get quick money that they get by selling fake tips at a very cheap price.

What should be the cost of a tip?

There is no mechanism to determine cost of tips but demand and competition can put a tab over overcharging but tippers. When you can get a winning tip at $1 then why should you spend more for tips? If you visit all soccer prediction sites, you will find that their charges have little variations. Cost of tips shouldn’t be a cause for concern but the reliability of tippers should. There are some technical factors you can use to determine reliability of tipsters.

Winning percentage

There are many tippers and every tipper has a strike rate determined by calculating the winning tips from all tips provided. High winning percentage means more reliability but highest rate creates doubt. How could a tipper achieve 100% success in breaking odds? A strike rate lower than 50% or higher than 80% creates doubts.


Personal profile

Every tipster has a personal profile that shows his association with football. He could be a footballer with impressive record of making goals or an ex-bookie. Or he could be a renowned football coach. Tipsters use their personal profiles to take bettors into their confidence.

Conclusion

A tip is an investment and you could get return on this investment. But there is no certainty that the tip would materialize. It could get failed and you should be ready to bear the loss of failed tips.
