To complete our monthly rankings, this countdown of January's Best Tipsters in Other Sports shines our spotlight on a handful of tipsters who prefer to ply their trade beyond the mainstream sports of horse racing and football.
If any of the listed services fit in with your sporting interests and betting preferences, then a quick click on the relevant links will reveal more information about those tipsters, including details of any discount offers that are currently available.
5th BetTheBall
- 135 ice hockey & football tips, 11.3% ROI, £306 profit
If you’re looking for what is effectively two tipsters for the price of one, then look no further than BetTheBall, whose two-pronged expertise in football and ice hockey has been rewarded with three straight months of growth.
Two sports and two easy-to-follow markets (Draws in football, Over/Under in ice hockey) make this a straightforward service to follow, while its moderate tip volume looks ideal for anyone seeking a diverse but manageable tipster to follow.
4th MNJ Tennis
- 486 tennis tips, 11.7% ROI, £1,133 profit
Following a four-month hiatus, MNJ Tennis has hit more than his fair share of aces since rebooting his multi-faceted tennis service in November, with January’s 11% yield crowning three months of growth.
A sharp uptick in tip volume might not be to all bettors’ tastes, so it will be interesting to see how that develops, while his happy knack of combining low-odds match-winner bets into more lucrative doubles provides the backbone of MNJ’s recent success.
3rd Major Tennis Bets
- 49 tennis tips, 15.7% ROI, £154 profit
In third place, the passion and expertise that Major Tennis Bets has for his favourite sport is very much in evidence in his revealing service description on a profile page that explains his focus on all the major action on the ATP and WTA circuits.
That passion has not always manifested itself in huge profit spikes, but January’s timely return to form saw him maintain an admirable 61% win rate across 49 carefully selected tennis tips, all published well in advance and all in the most straightforward match-winner and first-set-winner markets.
2nd Trust Me
- 34 American football tips, 19.4% ROI, £131 profit
If you enjoy your American sports, then the boldly-named service of Trust Me might be right down your alley, especially as January’s 19% yield crowns four straight months of growth, with just one drawdown month in the last nine.
A positive return in basketball, ice hockey and American football reveals a tipster who knows his way around the US markets, with a whopping 73% win rate more than enough to convert his recommended odds-on bets into a tidy profit.
1st Baseball Half Time
- 51 basketball tips, 22.3% ROI, £227 profit
Topping our Best Tipster in Other Sports leaderboard is Baseball Half Time, but don’t be fooled by the service’s name because this multi-sport service looks far beyond the USA’s favourite summer pastime (as indeed it has to during the cold winter months).
Football also gets its hour in the sun, but it has been basketball that has provided the bulk of BHT’s recent success, with January’s 43 tips in the NBA enjoying an impressive 25% ROI, despite a seemingly modest 30% win rate that can be explained by a willingness to back against the market.
January’s average advised odds exceeded 7/2, with this tipster’s eye for underdog value rewarded with several eye-catching and unlikely winners, including Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers beating Boston Celtic and Cleveland Cavaliers at odds of 4/1, while Dallas Maverick’s victory at Oklahoma City Thunder carried a mammoth 11/2 price tag.
Our congratulations go out again to Baseball Half Time for topping January's leaderboard, and we hope to see this and other services featuring again in our Best Tipster rankings as we head deeper into 2025.
