I’m interested in your opinions and experiences regarding purchasing sports tips. Do you think it’s worth investing money in tipsters if you knew they have proven results?
For me it is not worth it for the following reasons:
I know that even trusted tipsters cannot guarantee consistent winnings due to the unpredictability of sports events.
First of all, for me this is leisure, and I don't expect to make money on a regular basis or live off betting. Secondly, when someone is a renowned tipster, you can't be sure if they have a good odds that will turn around at some point. Finally, even if you follow a good tipster who doesn't go on a bad streak, to replicate his results you will have to bet on every single event he bets on, which almost nobody does. When making a selection, there is a variability that can differ a lot from the tipster's winrate.
If you add to that the fact that you have to pay for tips, and that as you say there is no guarantee that you will win, it is better to bet from time to time what you think and that's it.
