Ben Jones

Hi! This is Ben Jones, but you can call me Ben! I am a professional tipster, punter, gambler and entrepreneur. Currently living in Italy but I was born in the United Kingdom. I grew up in a family with 3 brothers and all of us absolutely love football. I played football to semi-professional level, and as a youngster I was scouted by important clubs in Europe but for various reasons never made it. In this way I had the chance to meet great footballers, trained a few times and stayed in touch with them afterwards. Wayne Rooney, Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Jay Jay Okocha are some of the big names I met as a youngster in my trials. All of them turned out to be world class players.

Coming back to betting I can say this was probably the reason I haven't become a professional footballer. I was investing too much time in this ‘’drug’’. I don’t regret it! This is my passion, this is what I've been born for. I have made over 800k euros in profit in my ‘’tipster career’’. I want to share with you my knowledge, experience, thoughts and good practices!

Before we move forward please let me clarify a few things!

If you want to get rich overnight, I can’t help you! If you want to make money but you don’t have discipline and patience I can't help you! If you are looking for fixed matches I can't help you!

Ideas that will make you rich. Read and implement them!

Bankroll Management

It sounds an obvious place to start, and it is, but managing your finances is the most critical element of betting or gambling in general for that matter. To that end, never bet more than you can afford to lose and stay within your budgetary limits. A simple way of achieving this is for punters to continuously wager a very low percentage of their budget to avoid the risk of heavy losses or going bust entirely. It might not sound that thrilling to bet so little, knowing that in most cases your wins will be minimal too, but this conservative approach to wagering could be the difference between staying safe online and doing yourself some real damage. This is especially true when we all appreciate that cold streaks are as likely as hot streaks. But, with low percentage betting, even a disastrous losing streak won't break the bank and can still land you in a profit when your luck returns.For example, if your bankroll is €2,000, then 2% of your budget is €40 meaning that you can still make bets worth anywhere up to and including €40. The pros of using this betting system are clear and obvious as not blowing all of your money at once basically keeps you in the game and won't require you to reload your balance with another top up. The main issue with low stakes betting is that the wins, unless you land a once in a lifetime acca, are also on the small side. But, with patience, even the small wins, which are all profit at the end of the day, add up in the pot. One way of keeping a lid on your spending is to set up deposit limits. As well as protecting you online, deposit limits are designed to allow you to state a maximum total amount of money that you are able to deposit into your betting account. They are usually set against a rolling 24 hour, weekly or monthly period which means you can cap your spending leading to better bankroll management.

Patience is a virtue

Patience is a virtue. A quote applicable to every aspect of life but none probably more so than betting. Even recreational bettors need to stick to a level of discipline that doesn’t see them stray from their original money management plan. It is particularly difficult in an age where a bet can be placed at the click of a button, especially during a boom time of constant special offers and price boosts. With that in mind, if you want more consistent profits, then there are certain factors you need to be considering. Before depositing a bankroll, it is vital to have expectations about what you want from your betting. Sticking to these ideas and creating a money management plan can provide you with a foundation to successful betting.

There’s always tomorrow

Sure, we all dream of landing a bet big enough to send us into an early retirement. But long term success is the main aim and staying disciplined is the most pivotal part of it.

Losing streaks happen

Losing streaks happen to even the most successful bettors and there are too many external factors for them not to. But the key to sensible betting is avoiding revenge betting.
Losing money often leads to an urge to get it back, but those thoughts often lead to reckless and uneducated betting. In situations like these, it is important to remember that not only will there be better betting opportunities coming up, but also sometimes the best bet can be not to bet. Do you really know anything about the Copa Libertadores fixture you’re scouring the markets on because you’ve just lost a bet five minutes ago?
Avoid betting for the sake of it. Some sporting events will naturally attract more betting activity but that doesn’t mean you should feel the need to be involved, especially if you are going to go in blind. Sometimes it is best to stick to what you know and what you are comfortable with.

Avoid emotions - don’t bet with your heart

The key to a good bet is good solid work prior to placing it and confidence in the system you use and your own judgement. It is imperative though, that you don’t allow the confidence to turn into arrogance which could see you breaking your staking strategy and putting in less work than you normally do. Stressing during the race or constantly checking the match centre will bear no influence on the actual result. So why stress? If your bet loses, then obviously you’re not going to be happy. That really is just human nature. Yet, you’ve done your research and found the value. If you continue to find the edge over the bookmakers, you’ll know that losses are part of long term success. However, again, you have to realize with sports betting that there are endless opportunities ahead. You might really want your team to win. You want it so badly you even start to convince yourself it's possible. Before you know it, you believe it so much that you've put your money on it. And bookies love it because each week they'll rake it in from all the home fans willing their soon-to-be relegated team to beat the table leaders. So it would be wise to not bet with your heart.

I’ve said enough!

Please read carefully each one of the above and implement it in your betting style. I won thousands of great bets following my golden rules. I want you to succeed and I want you to be in the 1% gamblers who make profit. Let’s smash the bookies together!
