Betting Pros – Final Review
Rating: 
The review of Betting Pros lasted for 84 days. I took over from James on the 31st January. In this period we had just 39 betting days, and only 63 selections. This kind of service is very hard to gauge in the fact that it does deliver what it says on its site. The overall cost works out at around 4 to 5 pounds a month depending when you would have joined.
My concern here is the low ROI (return on investment) It worked out at 6.35% during the trial. If you had deducted the 40 pounds membership fee which would take you up to end of August 2010 the ROI would drop to 5.90%.
This service is really for the larger backer to make sums like 567.50 pounds profit. To make this figure you would have had to lay out 8930 pounds in total, having said that if you had started with a 1000 pound bank the lowest it ever dropped to was 835.44 pounds and you would have made the 567.50 pounds profit also.
I suppose it would be possible to start off with a bank of 500 pounds and you would have made 283.75 but of course the subscription even though low cost would affect this more and take your ROI down to 5.46%.
The service concentrates on football with the occasional other sporting bet and is backing to win, the price of selections is short and the average bet works out at 1.28.
Out of the 63 selections 52 of them won, the longest losing run was only 1 and this of course happened 11 times. The longest winning run was 18.
Of the 11 losers four were 150 point bets; all the 200 and 250 points bets won, but if any of these had lost it really would have knocked the service back.
E-mails were sent out the night before and the website is always updated regularly. In regards o the Quality of service, it is professionally run, absolutely no complaints there.
I am going to place this in neutral and award it 2.5 stars, the service delivers exactly what it claims, is a professionally run service, but who is this really going to appeal to? It’s a very specific market…
The backer here would have to be placing at times 250 pound and 200 pound bets. The service actually recommends a 2000 pound bank so you could double those amounts. So if you like very short runs and you can mentally and financially handle larger stakes on short odds then this service could be for you. Maybe one could review this service again in September and see what the new membership subscription costs would be and see if there are any new additional parts to the service.

I subscribed to Betting Pros a few months ago, as it looked like a decent proposition on paper, with little work at my end, which is always a bonus(!) and the price was right.
I noticed a couple of things in the first month, so slightly changed my strategy and made a big difference to my profit and I am happy to share these…
1) NO Scottish football bets – lots of these were on Celtic and Rangers and a number of them dipped with big stakes going astray
2) NO away bets – again, I noticed a few of the away bets at short odds weren’t performing how they should have been
Since I applied these two rules, the return was pretty good. I worked at half the recommended stake and made around £300 profit, which was pretty good in my book. I agree that the large stake can make you slightly nervous at times, but on the whole, I think the service is pretty good value for the £40 subscription.
Hi Mick
Thats a very good twist if you take it from September last year to present you would have 92 selections with 85 winners thats a strike rate of 92.59%. As for profit you would have made 2068 points that would be an ROI of 18.5%, so your starting bank of 1000 points in September 2009 would have grown to 3068 points. These figures are more like it thanks for sharing that with us, and certainly that does make the service good value. Of course for my review i based it on all the selections and the stats for those.
