A win rate alone says little. Here is what to look for in any tipster record: the price, the sample size and whether results can be checked.
Any site can claim a high win rate. These are the questions that tell a real record from a marketing number.
Win rate is not profit
A 70% win rate on tips priced at 1.30 loses money, because each win pays little and each loss costs a full stake. What counts is the return on stake (profit divided by total staked), which combines win rate and price. We show the win rate and the return on a flat stake on our results page.
Check the price
A tip is only useful at the price it was published at. A record built on odds you could not actually get overstates what a reader would have made. Our tips are published with their price and are graded at that price.
Sample size
A hot streak of 30 bets proves nothing; the spread of results at around 50% win rates is wide. Look for hundreds of graded tips before you read anything into a percentage.
Is the record complete and checkable?
A record should include every tip, losses too, time-stamped before kick-off and graded by the same rule every time. Tips that are deleted or edited after the match make any record meaningless. On Winner Football Tips, tips are stored with the time they were published and are graded automatically from the final score.
Be wary of promises
Nobody can promise winning bets. If a source guarantees profit, "sure" wins or asks you to chase losses with bigger stakes, walk away.
