It’s been a fantastic first week for me and for my subscribers with 12 out of 16 winning bets and a profit of £2,130.92 (after commission) in just 7 days. That’s nearly twice the average monthly salary!
On Saturday I backed Manchester City and Arsenal. City beat Blackburn 2-0 and Arsenal thrashed Everton 6-1 netting me a profit of £841.25, not bad for a few hours work.
On Sunday I advised two bets on Manchester United and Over 2.5 goals in the Tottenham game. United beat Birmingham 1-0 and Tottenham won 2-1 returning a tidy sum of £357.75.
On Monday I picked over 2.5 goals in the Norwegian fixture between Viking and Molde which ended 2-1. My other selection Besiktas beat Antalyaspor 2-0 making £305.71 profit for the day.
My first defeat came on Tuesday when I tipped Wigan to beat Wolves. Wigan failed to deliver the football they produced against Aston Villa and lost the game 1-0. Still, it was a profitable night with Arsenal beating Celtic and Chelsea coming back from behind to beat Sunderland 3-1 returning £265.16 profit.
Wednesday night saw a big upset when Burnley beat Manchester United 1-0. I’m sure there were a lot of ‘Tipsters’ who would have told you this was a home banker but it was always a fixture to avoid for me, especially after United’s less than convincing performance against Birmingham. Instead, I backed Tottenham who I fancied at Hull and they certainly obliged thrashing them 5-1 for a profit of £477.00.
Thursday saw my first losing day with a £70 loss after AS Roma blew a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 and Aston Villa lost 1-0 after conceding a goal inside the first minute. Valencia did me proud winning 3-0 and FC Basel beat FK Baku 3-1 to bring in the overs in my other bets.
My misery continued into Friday with a £250 loss on Gold Express in the 15:50 at Sandown. The first horse I’ve ever tipped and it finished last out of 15 runners. In my other bet Rosenborg beat Fredrikstad to return £190 ending the day with an overall loss of £60.

I placed my first bet when I was 11 years old when I backed Superior Finish in the 1996 Grand National. I didn’t win that day but the thrill of betting has had me hooked ever since.
In the past 12 months I’ve made over £24,000 from sports betting with my biggest single win coming on Kauto Star in the Cheltenham Gold Cup when I scooped £5,000.
