2022 : £17,500 PROFIT
This is the monthly update on the performance of, and the changes to, my Personal Tipster Portfolio for 2022.
Starting on Jan 1st with a betting bank of £1,000 this portfolio produced £17,500 profit over the 12 months.

| End-of-Month Update: We ended the month with a very solid £2,700 profit, £2,300 of which came from Underdog Racing’s 34% ROI.End-of-Year Update: We had 8 different tipsters over the year but never had more than 4 tipsters at any one time in the portfolio. There were several changes during the 12 months but Footballer Tips the only tipster to be retained throughout. There was only one losing month early on in February where we lost 25% of the initial £1,000 betting bank. Bottom Line : We started with a £1,000 betting bank and turned it into £18,500 – I’m pretty pleased with that. |

| 9Oct22 UPDATE: Nine days into the new month and the betting bank has suffered a 4.5% fall -£700. All tipsters have posted a loss so far this month. (It did however look much worse before I corrected errors in my tracking spreadsheet – so there’s a little bit of a silver lining there.) SmallFieldPunter has only managed a 7% Strike Rate instead of the average 15% and Underdog’s bet win rate is 16% compared with his typical 24% and has yet to have a race winner – his Stike Rate so far in October is 0% compared with a 6% average. No need to alter anything just yet. However, SmallFieldPunting is on a current losing streak of 13 bets in a row. If this isn’t turned round by mid-month i.e. by the end of next week, I might reduce the £/pt staking. 19Oct22 UPDATE: Bank has recovered and is on an upward trajectory. Footballer Tips and Underdog Racing have bounced back into profit BUT SmallFieldPunting is still having a bad month. SmallFieldPunting’s Win Rate has been abysmal this month. The Estimated Longest Losing Run for this month had been 28. He is currently on a run of 37 losing tips (disregarding two void tips) and is losing money. Had the portfolio not recovered as it has done I would definitely reduce the stake levels for this tipster but I’m going to hold my nerve, trust the statistics and keep the staking level unchanged. End-of-Month Update: SmallFieldPunting never recovered in the month. Underdog Racing Tips barely managed a 3% WIn Rate on his 88 tips but still managed a great 27% ROI. He also has a non-winning streak of 14 losing/void tips. Footballer Tips just continued his merry winning ways.

| Footballer Tips : Continues to perform nicely with a 12% ROI. Lemonado and Zenith : Finished the month on 12% – 13% ROI which is great – unfortunately there’s a BUT coming … and that’s about the very high number of tips and the difficulty of getting the advised odds. The high number of tips means a lot of time – too much – spent tracking and placing bets. And the advised odds seem to disappear all to quickly so you’re left with reduced profits.
This month then will see a change in tack. |

| Footballer Tips : Expectancy figures for Footballer Tips paid off – a profitable two-month period with 312 units profit. Lemonado : Finished the month on 12% ROI and 624 units profit. Zenith : Had similar results with 13% ROI and 429 units profit. ARC Ratings : New to the portfolio ARC Ratings finished the month with an outstanding 41.9% ROI and 43 units profit. Unfortunately he has now decided to move to Blogabet. So I’ll have to find a way of picking up the threads from there. Soccerrafa : who got dropped from the portfolio last month managed only 1% ROI from 229 tips – confirming my suspicion of a continuing flatline performance.

| A poorer month than June with Lemonado and Zenith providing the lions share of the profits. Footballer Tips had another losing month which is a slight concern. However his 2-month expectancy is 100% i.e. every 2-month period has been profitable, so for now I’m sticking with him. But that could change if August doesn’t show a significant improvement. Soccerrafa profits looks to have flat-lined over the last 3 months and I’m swapping him out for free tipster ARC Ratings who has had 10 profitable months from 10 and looks to be going from strength to strength on an ROI of 25%.

A mediorcre month’s profit. Lemonado produced a very low ROI this month and took over 270 tips to do it. Soccerrafa produced an even lower ROI but with only 72 tips at least saved some betting effort. Footballer Tips put in an acceptable performance while Zenith shone yet again with 23% ROI.

| All four tipsters delivered a profit in April with an overall 15% ROI and a further £3K added to the bank. One small concern is the rise in the number of tips being published. In particular, Lemonado. Instead of around 150 tips a month his last 2 months have been 3 times that. I’m keeping this under review.
For May’22: Note: Akka Master, dropped from the portfolio last month, has recovered and produced an ROI of 11.1% this month which is good to see. But, even better to see was that Soccerrafa, the replacement for Akka Master, outperformed this with an ROI of 27.2%. |

All tipsters made excellent profits this month to double the betting bank to just over £2,000.
My decision to stick with these tipsters has paid off handsomely and you can read how I made that decision in Stick or Twist – knowing when to dump a tipster. My estimates for the number of tips per day from Lemonado, Zenith and Akka Master were badly wrong. I estimated 1 tip/day from Lemonado – he published 6/day. Zenith published around twice as many as I’d estimated and Akka Master 50% more. For Mar’22: |
