New Season Now Underway…

No, it’s not the big kick off in the Unicycle Ice Hockey season, or the Extreme Ironing Championship, but the Spread Betting Tipping League has just started, after what was loosely described as a “pre-season” tournament.

If you’ve been following the recommendations so far, then you will be comfortably in front, but that would be mainly down to the successful tips from Spreadwise of the Racing Post. However, one of the purposes of the month or so of trialling the league, was so that inexperienced spread bettors could get used to the staking systems necessary with this type of gambling.

So, with the help of the tutorials I’ve produced on this subject, as well as others covering unit stakes/points and managing your bank, I think the participants are now better placed to make the most of their expertise.

Currently, we have 6 tipsters, one of which is myself. My tips are exclusively football selections, including Weekend Live matches, and La Liga bookings, where 10 of my last 11 recommendations have been winners.

The mystical Spreadwise has been the one to follow so far, with a whopping profit of around 50 points, from a total of 9 different sports. Maybe someone can help me out here, but I’m guessing that our friend at the RP is not a single individual, but a brainstorm of pundits from the variety of sports which are offered.

The Sage of Sambourne is a good friend of mine whose sporting knowledge is second to none, and I’m assured that the fiver is in the post for that comment!

Sam Spread and Mr Fixit are two tipsters from the leading Scottish redtop, The Daily Record, and both are worth following. Sam is one of the few spread tipsters around, while Mr Fixit is exclusively fixed odds, but we will use his banker bets where we can and convert them to spreads as a useful experiment to see how the two compare.

And finally, LTO’s very own Mark Layton, who by his own admission struggled in the early part of pre-season with his staking, and also strayed a little from his specialist subject, Horse Racing. I know he is keen to make a fresh start with his fine horse tips, at the appropriate stakes!

There’s room for more, so just let me know, and you can join in, but keep an eye out for our tips, and remember to read the tutorials before getting involved. Good luck!
