    Yes, I have used several tipsters with success.

    First, you should only use a tipster who shows their placed bets in public.
    Two years or more active to get a valid impression.

    You have to understand that what you win at the end of the year is what counts.
    Don't be scared if you get one or two losing months.
    Is not a sprint is a marathon.

    Another site that tests different tipsters and gives them a verdict is "Goal Profits"
    Go to "Betting System Reviews" and click on "Passed"
    Now you can read about 20/30 tipsters and their verdicts by professional traders.

    Cheers

    My advice would be to shelve the concept of one handicapper handling more than one or two sports with any great success. The people who have had the greatest long-term success specialize. There are certain concepts (shop 'til you drop, arbitrage-shopping, having many betting shops available, and so on) that cross all sports as necessary rules for betting, but there are long-term specialists who are savants at particular sports.

    You need about three years to get a handle on whether someone knows what they're doing. And in that time, sports rules can change immensely, as has happened recently in baseball, the fluidity of paying personnel in college football, and the like.

    I know this, as I've been a sports handicapper specializing in college football for 45 years. A long time ago, in a universe far, far away, there was a publication called "Tipsters or Gypsters?" published in Las Vegas by former Seattle newspaperman Mike McCusker. It was also known as "The McCusker Report." It was published in the 70's, 80', and early 90's. At its height, it published results for more than a hundred handicappers. If you want to take a look at excerpts from it, go to the Vegas Casino Talk forum and look up a thread called the Retro Road Trip thread. I posted a few pages from some of these summaries in that thread.

    You have to be careful of summaries not being fronts for services. For example, there was a slick, glossy publication called The Sports Service Report that was mailed to thousands of bettors in the 80's and 90's. It listed a Top 10 of services, including some famous names. Those famous names, however, were not first or second. Instead, the first and second place names were services nobody had ever heard of outside of The Sports Service Report. It was all a scam. The gimmick was that the publication had surveys in the back of the magazine, and they claimed to base their ratings on survey results. By having associates fill out surveys, they were able to claim this and that non-existent service had great years. Be careful with ratings if you don't know actual individuals responsible for the ratings.

    I was in an invitation-only competition called The Wise Guys for 30 years, and over that time I have had either the best or second best record for people who've been in it (haven't done the math lately). The contest was sponsored by Playbook. If they come back with the contest in the future, you might be able to call and request final standings sheets from recent years. Not sure if they will have it again, as it was halted during the pandemic. Here's a link to a summary of the contest.

    Playbook 2016 Vegas Wise Guys Contest (playbooksports.com)

    Understand that nobody is going to win more than about 58% of games versus the spread in perpetuity, even the savants. We occasionally may go on a two or three-year rip of more than 60%, and all of us had had the occasional big years where we nailed things for 65% or 66%, but it's very rare. I did want to name drop here. For those who have some in the know, Billy Walters did hire me for a year. It didn't work out long-term, but Billy Walters doesn't hire losers.

    Good luck. I think your best avenue for success via handicappers is college basketball and college football, probably in that order. I am not a basketball handicapper, but I have seen some people and teams of people do remarkable things.

    If you're interested in my old historical website, use the wayback machine to look up IntegritySports.com.

    Been gambling over 30+ years, there are good ones out there but like anything else, need sift thru the b.s. Recently, i joined justlocknload sports cause he is very real. He understands how this biz works and does a good job with units and keeps it honest and communicative and is unique with some of his plays vs. the rest. Wish you the best! God bless!

    hotjohnnn I considering doing two long term investments this summer with 1000 Euro bank each.

    1) Pouncebet
    The market change and react when they announce an in-play bet, which is a good sign.
    And the service has been around a long time, so it's reliable.
    You find the service at Goalprofits passed reviews.

    2) Krypto with Kash.
    Good testing period and good review by Goalprofits.
    Like to have a crypto portfolio.

    Cheers
