Would you pay a tipster just to be profitable in sports betting?

[Vaculin]

I think we should trust ourselves rather than trust these people.

What if you are not profitable and you see some tipsters are giving winning bets? still you don't want to follow?

This really depending on the bettor, for some others will follow but as long as the tipster is giving his tips for free, otherwise, it could be a scam if there's a subscription especially if the tipster is the one who will dictate how much you need to bet.

[TheUltraElite]

Paying someone to win something more seems like a scam to me.

What would be the difference with this from someone asking you to give them 10 bucks to get 100 bucks in return? Maybe they are good, but you should not trust someone to do your prediction where you are staking your own money on a game.

I know certain people might think the opposite but this comes from a root problem in our mindset of shifting responsibility to another person so that your stress reduces. Try predicting on your own and see how that is working out. Compare that with what a specific tipster is doing and see how much it is varying.

would you actually pay a tipster just to improve your chances of winning?

Do you really trust these people? I mean, if they’re really that good at predicting games, why would they even sell their tips instead of just betting and earning quietly for themselves?

Some say they do it to “help others” or to share their system, but honestly, if it’s that accurate, they wouldn’t need to rely on subscribers.

So what’s your take, do tipsters actually help, or are they just making money off bettors who are desperate to win?

I think there's a specific reason for doing this. Perhaps these subtle touches while playing not only attract attention from others, but also create a subtle communication between the two. There's important information or a specific signal coming from the tip recipient.

We should focus and have something we can rely on while playing. Of course, tips aren't the only factor that will make us win, but good money management and self-discipline are crucial if you rely on them. You might lose concentration while waiting for a signal while someone else is playing.

I haven't had any experience like this, but I would be happy to do it. Paying a tipster to increase my chances of winning? I mean if that will make me profitable in let's say 10-20 bets then I'll share it to them as their reward.

Why rely on others you say? I guess they want to earn more money aside from the money that they're getting thru betting on their own bets. I mean like a side hustle. On the flip side, this might be a scam to others, and that's why if there's somebody here that will have this kind of experience then at least use only a small amount of money first in order to build trust and at the same time, you will take it as some kind of experiment where you will see if the tips of this person is accurate and will increase your chances of winning.

You might as well throw your money out the window.

Tipsters are just scammers who have convinced you that they know the outcome of something which is not possible to know. Unless the game was rigged, in which case anyone with such info would keep it for themselves or share it only with a tiny circle. But how realistic is that latter scenario? Not very. So if someone says they will give you tips in exchange for money, just assume it is a scam and chances are it 99.99999999% is a scam.

[danherbias07]

I agree with what you said. If they really know who or which is going to win, then there's no need to share it. They could easily make money out of their sources, and they would not need to offer it to anyone. They are not helping. They are obviously scamming.

That's why I don't believe signals or tipsters because the truth is they can use it, or if it's not allowed, then they can use their friends or relatives to do it for them. I doubt anyone would dig that deep into his connections, and there are probably gamblers in his circle who have also been doing it for a long time. So, it will not be questionable.

[LeyMonte]

I think those who come up with such services are more likely to cheat the public. In this day and age, where there is money to be made, no one wants to miss out on that opportunity, but the way tipsters behave, if they can predict the outcome of the game accurately, why can't they become rich? If they really knew, would they ever share those tips? So those who trust them and give them money are definitely making a mistake. They lose their money.

One thing to note is that if they can earn money from others by making their predictions right then why do they earn money by making predictions for others instead of betting themselves? Those who understand the answer to this question correctly will never depend on other people's predictions and give money. Where I can get money by selling predictions, why shouldn't I bet myself? It seems really strange when someone sells predictions.

Saw your post in the NBA betting thread, so I’ll assume you’re a tipster, but the good thing is you don’t charge fees, so you’re a good man. hehe..

But for those who advertise and claim to be profitable, even showing their records, it can be really convincing to people who are desperate to make a profit and no longer trust themselves to develop their own skills. They might end up falling victim to a scam, not saying all of them are scams though.

Tipsters manipulate results just to seek attention and in turn make profits. It should interest you to know that it is not actual betting or gambling that gives tipsters all the profits they make, tipsters make all their money from selling tips. Bettors or gamblers who patronize tipsters are at risk of losing both the money they spent on buying those tips from the stipsters and the actual money they will stake on that bet; that is if they are not lucky to win.

It feels good to trust your own strategy and be profitable from the strategy you developed yourself. That is why I will advice bettors to learn and improve their betting skills instead of relying on tipsters. At least, if they lose, they will know what went wrong and try to do better next time.

[Text]

for me if someone has a proven track record shows verifiable results and explains their logic instead of just posting random pick then maybe it’s worth checking out especially if you’re still learning and want some guidance but most of the time I think a lot of these tipsters are just taking advantage of people who want easy wins. If they were really that good they’d probably just bet for themselves and keep quiet. I’d rather study the games, check stats and learn from experience than rely on someone who might just be selling hype.

Most tipsters are more interested in selling hope than actually winning bets they post flashy records screenshots of big wins and make people believe they have cracked the system when in reality they make their real money from subscriptions and selling picks not from gambling itself it’s a business model built on people’s desperation to win fast and their lack of confidence in their own analysis.

Some tipsters even create fake records or delete their losses before showing results so their success rate looks perfect which convinces even more people to pay for their so called “expert advice” it’s an easy trap to fall into because when someone is losing regularly they become vulnerable to anything that sounds like a shortcut to profit and tipsters take full advantage of that psychological weakness. Trusting your own process no matter how slow it feels is way more sustainable than chasing someone else’s “magic formula” at least when you use your own strategy you’re learning something real even in failure you understand what went wrong and can adjust next time while with tipsters you just end up depending on someone who may not even be betting for real.

Agreed—why would someone sell betting tips if they could just profit by betting themselves? Personally, I wouldn’t pay a tipster just because they claim to be good at what they do. No one on this planet has a crystal ball to predict the future.

Anyone boasting a high win rate is likely a scammer. Real sports bettors don’t brag about their winnings—they let their results speak for themselves. If someone claims to be skilled at betting, I’d rather observe their betting patterns and learn from them than pay for their picks.

No. I don't believe them. Because that's what drives me not to believe them. If they really understand the chances of winning on sports betting, why don't they place it themselves. One more thing, they don't actually show the results of the bets they predict. Even if there is, it's not real. It's just a way to convince the audience.

In sports betting, using your own analytical skills is more enjoyable for the results you will get, rather than using their predictions.
The closest example if their abilities are great, in the Champions League tournament which has been going on for two days, is how much they succeeded in their choices. Barcelona failed to win. Real Madrid lost. PSG lost.

Well, it's possible that they can post a good track record with verifiable results which was not actually won by them but all it was formulated just to deceive people to think that they are legit meanwhile they are not. Like you said, if they were as good as they make it look, they won't come online look for people that will buy prediction from them but will exploit bookies with those strategies of winning which they have got, they will even make sure to enrich all their family members and relatives, but unfortunately 99% of them are scammers who want to exploit vulnerable players.

I think it's better to focus on your own research and experience instead of relying too heavily on others' picks. Following someone who has proven results and can explain their reasoning can be helpful, but real understanding comes from analyzing the games, checking the stats, and learning through your own decisions. Trusting tipsters blindly often backfires, so developing your own judgment is always more valuable.

That will be better because we can improve our analysis by learning and research. We don't just follow them to predict but we research from our sources. We will have many lists as our sources so we will have more hints that will help us to decide. But we can use their analysis as additional information to us so we will know more. We don't have to trust tipsters but focus to our analysis to find more clues. We don't know what their reason sharing their prediction but we just know that they are making money by selling their prediction.

[romero121]

With the expectation of a win, we pay the tipster, but the win isn't assured. Will the tipster take responsibility if the bet has lost? This means we're spending our money on a bet as well as to select the odds. This is how the tipster service works. In my view, rather than depending on someone else along with a fee paid, it is good to make our own analysis and select the odds. There are successful stories following the tipster, but we can't be sure of us being the same as others. With casino games luck plays a big role, whereas with sports betting data and knowledge related to the particular game matter a lot in winning the bet.

Depending solely on tipsters can be very very risky because their main goal might be profit, not accuracy. Doing your own research and analysis gives you more control and helps you understand the logic behind each prediction. Using their tips only as supporting information and not as the main source, and is definitely the right mindset. In the long run, this method builds experience, improves decision making, and helps you become more confident in your own judgment rather than relying on others.

I would pay money to a good tipster. I had a neighbour who was extremely good at it but I didn't need to pay to him, I had his account and I was checking his tickets, then I was copying them. Btw he really motivated me to watch soccer and other games very often, to read news about soccer teams, players and to become more analytical. Slowly, I became better than him. I was doing extremely well in sports betting but then I had to enter the University and I decided to focus on my studies because I don't think that betting or similar high risk activity is a good long-term choice.

This sounds a bit similar to financial services but without any regulation.

I think it's not really a great idea to pay someone else to give you a tip...

As you say, what if you lose?, they keep their money either way.

I have seen tipsters post games on their paid group and with so much confidence, asked their members to bet as much as they like because they feel the game wouldn’t cut and at the end of the day the game ended badly and those who actually went with the tipster words to bet as much as they like would have lost a fortune.

For me, I wouldn’t pay a tipster because their predictions are not 100%. The same way k would guess that’s how they’ll also guess and do their analysis so rather than paying them I’d just improve on mine, work consistently on it and see that I can predict and it would go as predicted.
