We tie up our monthly rankings with a countdown of October's Best Tipsters in Other Sports, which offers a summary of those tipsters who ply their trade outside of the two mainstream markets of football and horse racing.
They cover a broad range of sports and strategies and should hopefully include at least one that aligns with your own betting preferences. When you find a service you like, just click on the relevant link to access more information about that tipster, which will include details of any trial deals that are currently on offer.
Please note: If you have previously enjoyed a trial with a tipster, then you are no longer eligible for any trial period offered by the same service.
10th BillgkrTips - 26 tips, 13.2% ROI
Profit: £68.53 to £20 average stake
In tenth spot we're happy to welcome one of our longest serving tipsters, BillgkrTips, whose reliable basketball service is soon to celebrate 5 full years on Tipstrr, having first graced the site in January 2017. He has enjoyed a resurgence throughout 2021, and despite a rare recent downward dip, October saw a return to those winning ways, with his 50% win rate at better than even money reflected by a solid 13% yield for the month.
9th SportsBot V2 - 68 tips, 16.2% ROI
Profit: £220.20 to £20 average stake
It's been something of a topsy-turvy year for SportsBot V2, but in October this busy tennis service bounced back to the kind of form enjoyed during the first six months of the year. His simple betting model utilises a full-unit staking plan that is aimed solely at odds-on favourites in the Match Winner market, a strategy that by definition requires a high win rate to succeed, and October's 69% success rate more than met that target to earn a tidy 16% yield
8th Fade The Favorites - 65 tips, 13.4% ROI
Profit: £173.80 to £20 average stake
Seven winning months out of the last eight for Fade The Favorites has been enough to illustrate there is definitely a rich vein of profit to be found in the American sports betting markets. As the seasons change, baseball has now given way to American football as this multi-sport tipster's main focus, and his 14% yield from 86 tips in that sport alone so far this season suggests there could be a lucrative few months ahead.
7th Brazilian NBA - 23 tips, 17.3% ROI
Profit: £79.40 to £20 average stake
The selective basketball service of Brazilian NBA should suit any bettors who prefer quality over quantity, as indeed should his ability to convert his carefully selected tips into consistent profits. After a lull in activity between seasons, this NBA specialist has hit the ground running during the new campaign, achieving an impressive 61% win rate at average odds just shy of even money, converting to a healthy 17% yield for the month.
6th OverTheTop - 62 tips, 59.5% ROI
Profit: £225.26 to £20 average stake
In sixth place, the varied service of OverTheTop would have finished higher in this list but for some inconsistent form coming into this month. This recent uptick in profits can be attributed to his decision to focus on the niche market of golf, where there is plenty of each way value to be found in even the most proven golfers. Rory McIlroy (18/1), Hideki Matsuyama (11/1) and Rafa Cabrera Bello (60/1) all won tournaments at seemingly outlandish odds, while a further half-dozen high-odds places suggest that, in the right hands, there is betting profit aplenty to be found on the golf course.
5th WadsterTips - 41 tips, 19.5% ROI
Profit: £159.58 to £20 average stake
Having topped these rankings three times in the previous four months, WadsterTips is back with yet another top five appearance. Not bad for a service that took an 18-month hiatus during 2019 and 2020, and has slipped straight back into the groove with 10 profitable months out of 13, and boasts a rock solid 14% ROI from over 500 tips during the last year. If you're looking for a tipster who knows his way around the tennis court and the tennis markets, then Wadster would appear to be your man.
4th Cash Machine - 116 tips, 19.8% ROI
Profit: £459.27 to £20 average stake
In fourth place, the multi-sport service of Cash Machine has just celebrated his first full year on the Tipstrr platform with his most profitable month to date. If you like your American sports, then you'll love that Cash Machine gives full coverage of basketball, baseball, ice hockey and American football, and seems equally adept at extracting profit from all four. In American football in particular, he has hit the ground running in the new season, with his 41 tips in that sport enjoying a 60% win rate and a tasty 30% yield.
3rd Hoops Bet - 66 tips, 22.9% ROI
Profit: £302.81 to £20 average stake
On to the medals rostrum we go, kicking off with Hoops Bet, who is enjoying his third top five appearance in the last four months, following even more lucrative yields in July (35%) and August (23%). The new NBA season appears to have revealed where the strength of his betting strategy lies, with October producing an impressive 60% win rate from his Stateside selections, and with his average advised odds upwards of even money, it's easy to see why the profit keeps rolling in.
2nd Richard Kevin - 146 tips, 23.9% ROI
Profit: £698.80 to £20 average stake
There's no denying the consistency of the basketball service of Richard Kevin, who graced these rankings in June (3rd, 43% ROI), July (7th, 21%)) and August (4th, 26%), and has now clinched October's runner-up spot off the back of his fifth straight monthly gain (23%). He has cleared more than £1,500 in profit during that period, and October's 35% win rate at average advised odds nudging 4/1 is testament to his ability to identify outsider value in the often unforgiving basketball Match Winner market.
1st The Goat - 22 tips, 34.8% ROI
Profit: £153.19 to £20 average stake
The return of the popular tennis service of The Goat to our monthly winner's enclosure won't surprise many of those who are familiar with his consistency throughout three full years on the Tipstrr platform. A flattening of his profits curve during the summer ended with September's re-appearance in our top ten, and that was just an appetiser for October's best monthly yield since the beginning of the year. As ever, The Goat's output remains selective, but while the tip volume might not be prolific, the profits most certainly are, and his 22 tips in October were well worth waiting for, landing 15 winners for a 68% win rate at better than even money, converting to that tasty 34% return on investment. Yes, The Goat is back!
As usual, a diverse array of sporting preferences and betting strategies are covered by our top "other sports" services, any one of which might help to add an extra edge to your sports betting.
Well done yet again to The Goat for his achievements throughout October, and we hope to see this service and others featuring again in our Best Tipster rankings throughout the remainder of 2021.
