How to Check Football Tipster Results

A repeatable method for auditing a tipster record using strike rate, odds, ROI, drawdown and sample size.

What matters first

Record every advised selection with date, market, odds, stake and result. Include losing bets and voids. Calculate total stakes and total profit using one consistent staking convention.

Look beyond the headline

Strike rate is wins divided by settled bets, but it is not enough on its own. ROI compares profit with total amount staked and provides another view of efficiency.

Practical considerations

Look for drawdowns and losing runs. Even a historically profitable record can contain severe negative periods, and a small sample can exaggerate either good or bad luck.

Bottom line

If the underlying selections cannot be reconstructed, treat precise performance claims cautiously.
