3rd Lemonado - 1646 tips, 13.1% ROI
Profit: £4,321.40 to £20 stake
Recipient of our nominal bronze medal is Lemonado, who enjoyed an impressive first year since launching his service on Tipstrr in January 2021. Lemonado employs a mathematical value bet strategy, for which the simplest explanation is that it is designed to beat the closing bet line. This strategy is very much for serious bettors who recognise that extra value can be extracted ahead of anticipated market movement, thereby exploiting bookmaker prices before they are adjusted to reflect a tightening market. This method takes some effort and is not to everyone's taste, because in a fluid market it can sometimes be difficult to place bets quickly enough to enjoy the same odds that Lemonado is advising, and the implied value of his tips can therefore be lost or much reduced. That said, there can be no arguing with Lemonado's stellar success during a year that saw him enjoy 10/12 profitable months and return double digit ROI's in four major markets (1X2, Asian handicap, Draw No Bet, as well as his preferred Over/Under tips). His 47% win rate was achieved at average advised odds in excess of 5/4, resulting in that overall 13% ROI that yielded well over £4K to level £20 stakes.
2nd GermanHighLimit - 293 tips, 32.8% ROI
Profit: £1,922.36 to £20 stake
Runner-up in our very high-quality field of successful football tipsters, we're happy to see that last year's winner, GermanHighLimit has maintained his high standards throughout 2021. As his name suggests, his service is built around his expertise in all tiers of German football, with particular emphasis on the top two flights of the Bundesliga. His profile page explains the details of his betting model, selection methods and staking plan far better than we have room for here, and it is well worth a read. Suffice to say that GermanHighLimit's success is built on quality rather than quantity, providing a selective service that is based on thorough research and a calculated eye for identifying the best betting value. Just two negative months since January interrupted a year of continued growth, with five of his eight profitable months exceeding 50% yield, peaking in October (100%) and December (108%). Not surprisingly, this top quality service comes at a premium, but an annual 32% ROI that converted to almost £2K in profits to level £20 stakes might suggest that this consistent performer is well worth the investment.
1st Footballer Tips - 2165 tips, 14.6% ROI
Profit: £6,339.02 to £20 stake
It won't surprise many among Tipstrr's football community to learn that the accolade of 2021 Best Football Tipster goes to the busy and popular service of Footballer Tips. Since making a spectacular impact during the latter half of 2020, Footballer Tips has gone from strength to strength. He finished every month of 2021 with a larger bankroll than he began them to earn him a top ten finish in our monthly rankings no less than eight times, and indeed he has now completed no less than 17 consecutive profitable months. His service is as prolific as it is successful, but his growing number of members have learned to keep up with his high tip volume (he averages 30-40 per week), recognising that his 46% win rate at advised odds in excess of 6/4 should always be enough to protect and indeed swell their betting funds. His success is built on a simple but effective betting strategy that looks to identify overpriced outcomes in his preferred goals-related markets. When the bookmakers' prices exceed his model's perceived value by a big enough percentage, then Footballer Tips pounces, safe in the knowledge that the differential will absorb any inevitable losses and convert wins into enhanced profits. The effectiveness of that approach is illustrated perfectly by those 17 straight monthly gains, 13 of which enjoyed double-digit ROI's, while 2021 alone accrued an annual 14.6% yield that brought in well over £6K in winnings to level £20 stakes.
What a year it's been for our top football tipsters, and well done again to Footballer Tips, and the rest of our featured success stories. Let's not forget that his and everyone else's eye-catching stats have been sustained not just for a month of two, but over the course of the entire year, proving that these fully verified tipsters are capable of long-term yields, not just short-term profit spikes.
We can't wait to see them and others enjoying similar success throughout 2022.
