Episode 50's podcast guest is Craig Edwards, a former professional snooker player turned winning punter and someone with a very clear edge over the bookmaker.

Growing up playing in snooker halls where betting was never far from discussion, Craig developed a keen interest in punting and was able to carve out a good profit for himself betting after he retired from professional sport.

With a unique understanding of some of the psychological challenges of elite sport, plus the right approach and attitude to seeking out betting value, Craig has been the scourge of many a bookmaker, especially on his 2 chosen sports - snooker and golf.

This was proven when employees from one major bookmaking firm joined his tipster service, in order to get priority access and to slash their own odds on the tips he put forward and takes himself.

That is just one story Craig shares in today's episode, alongside more on his edge in the betting markets, why he often works backwards in order to find value and the huge amount of research he puts in.

Craig's tipster service was also the focus of a recent detailed SBC review, which we also discuss in this interview, alongside the discounts available for SBC members, where up to 20% can be saved on the cost of a subscription to his service.

In this latest episode, SBC's Rowan Day and Pete Ling explore the world of tipsters and using them to make a profit from your betting - something they both do themselves day-in, day-out.

With the release of the 2 latest SBC Tipster Profit Reports into Horse Racing and Sports Betting, it's an opportune time to talk about our work exploring tipsters, how we find those we recommend and a few example tipsters to boot.

We talk about things like the importance of Return on Capital instead of Return on Investment and why we black mark tipsters that quote unrealistic or unsustainable prices that can kill your betting accounts.

We also chat about the popular golf tipster, Ben Coley and the need to not go overboard on recent form and why so many people are lured in with unrealistic expectations and how bookmakers take advantage of that.

Whether you are a seasoned tipster user or completely new to the concept, this podcast should explain plenty on what you need to know to make it work for you - whatever your circumstances.

In this latest episode I had the pleasure of being joined by Daryl Carter - a tipster with a growing reputation thanks to his daily tipping columns as published by gg.co.uk and Betfair which feature his racing analysis and best value bets.

In this interview, Daryl talks about his approach to finding value, the serious amount of work he puts into his analysis and his passion for betting and helping others through his work.

We also get into his long-term tipping record, how he bets himself and the stakes he uses, plus his own struggles getting on and his thoughts on the increasing issue of bookmaker restrictions.

Daryl also touches on his concerns for the sport of racing and where it might be heading as it deals with prize money issues, fixture overloads and affordability checks.

All told its a deep dive into what it takes to be a professional tipster working for some of the biggest names in the industry and the pressure that this brings!

An interview with betting professional, Paul Chandler-Burns on his many years working in the betting industry and his profitable angle following the Racing Post's Tom Segal and his Pricewise tipping column.

Starting out as a racing trader prior to the introduction of Betfair, Paul built up enough experience and connections to then go full time as a professional punter for several years and he talked me through what he bet upon and the challenges and rewards this brought. This time as a full-time bettor saw him take advantage of edges in football ante-post markets, entertainment and reality TV betting markets (and the inside information that so often flowed in them) as well as golf and horse racing.

These days, Paul combines his unique work as an entertainer on cruise ships with betting on horse racing where he uses the Pricewise column and tips from Tom Segal as a starting point and guide to find excellent value in many of the big racing meetings and events.

By filtering through the bets Tom puts up, he is able to make a good return in these highly liquid markets - including via the Free SBC service 'Pricewise with PCB' which has made in excess of 12% ROI since it began last year.

Paul also discusses his usage of independent bookmakers, including a few that happily will lay a bet on sports like horse racing and the convenience they bring.

All told its fascinating insight into a lifetime working in the betting world, the importance of evolving what you bet on as the industry changes and profitable angles to take advantage of in the modern betting world.

A chat with racing expert, Quentin Franks on his 10 years working as a full time professional punter on the sport.

Working 15 hour days and up at the crack of drawn each day, Quentin was good enough to share about what goes on behind the scenes as a pro punter and the reality of betting for a living.

As well as some of the things he looks for in a value bet and the tools he used to study horses, Quentin also discussed some of the smaller, independent bookmakers he often uses to get bets on and why more punters need to consider them. Quentin names a couple of them he uses and why they welcome his business plus also his thoughts on the racing scene in general and his fears for it in the long-term.

We also explore his long-running tipping service which is now in its 8th year and which has generated a 15% long-term ROI from several thousands of bets.

An update from Smart Betting Club Editor, Peter on the publication of two very special reports on horse racing and golf that can make a huge difference to your betting.

The horse racing report hones in the excellent service that has made a 10.84% ROI over nearly 20,000 unique bets from the past 17 months. Although profitable with bookmakers, it also has a profitable edge at both Betfair SP and when betting into the live exchange market.

Pete reveals the service in question, the value strategy it uses, some of the filters applicable to generate even more profit and just why the SBC team use it every day. 

For those of you who prefer golf betting, Pete also outlines the detail within the major 2022 Golf Betting Report also recently published at the start of the year.

 This report focuses in on a dozen recommended golf tipsters with updates on performance on each of them, including the profits made not just in 2021 but going back several years. You can also explore updated ratings on each tipster and advice on how to use a progressive staking plan to boost profits further.

Pete also discusses the 'Our Year In Golf Betting' updates penned by 3 members of the SBC team for the report on the tipsters we each followed and the profits made throughout 2021 in our personal betting portfolios. 

This podcast also is a precursor to the return of the SBC series of betting interviews from February 2022!
