About Me

Documenting my journey from amateur punter to professional gambler

Hi! My name’s Neel and I make my living from sports betting. It’s been 3 years since I started this blog and a lot has changed since then!

I was a former teacher and a hobbyist gambler who started to turn a profit on a few edges. I decided to take the plunge and try betting full time professionally and haven’t looked back since. In those 3 years, I’ve been betting for a living but also had stints in the industry, working for one of the UK’s biggest bookmakers and a major betting syndicate.

Going back to the beginning though, I wanted to try to make some contacts in the industry as I was kind of starting from scratch. I had a stint at IG Sports a decade before as a bet taker but other than the basics of betting odds, I didn’t make the most of it! So I really was starting out afresh without knowing anyone in the industry.

I reached out to trademate sports who documented my journey using their fantastic software.

I enjoyed my time working with them and had great success in using their software to kickstart my trading, starting off with a 5k bank. I’ve regularly featured on podcasts with Alex Vella, previewing major tournaments and sharing insights along the way

Probably my finest hour (although maybe not if you’re an England fan) was tipping up Italy to win the last Euros at 16/1 each way.

I’ve also featured on the well respected Smart Betting Club, sharing advice on how bookmakers profile customers (which got me into a bit of trouble!)

In between my betting, I enjoy writing articles and have written for a number of betting websites, including:

Pinnacle
Welovebetting
Punter2Pro
Betting Expert
Before You Bet
Rated Tipsters
Football Advisor
Sharp Sports Bettors
The Bet Chat

I also launched a tipping service in 2022 on the back of a free extended 6 month trial. The service was well received by members and was given a Pass rating by goalprofits independent review team. Here is a Q & A video explaining what the service is about and a little bit more about my background:

Sadly, I decided to close the service after 6 months due to some family commitments at the time and wanting to come back fresh in the future and adjust what I was doing. The service was profitable and earned members +140 points in its time, but I’ve now decided to focus on tournament football where results have been very positive for me. In January I shared my free tips for the AFCON and Asia Cup tournaments, which landed a 37 point profit, with Betchat members with a small summary of the tournaments and results here

Here are some of the thoughts of members and others in the betting space who’ve known me over the years:

“I’ve learnt quite a bit and made about £300 to date with small stakes.”

“Neel has got a keen eye for spotting some things other tipsters miss

“I’ve known Neel for a number of years now and although I am a full time professional within gambling arena we all have our niches. Mine is horse racing, Neel has fast become my go to person when it comes to the football markets. Neel is fully able to exploit the less obvious football markets , identifying value bets on things that would just never occur to me and is a great addition to my betting portfolio”

‘It’s rare to find someone as honest and professional as Neel in the tipping world, and his record on major footballing tournaments is brilliant! If you’re looking for betting tips or opinions on the Euros, he’d be a wonderful addition to your portfolio.’

Neel has an incredible ability to analyse matches, identify trends, and make well-informed predictions. His dedication to researching teams, players, and strategies shines through in every tip he provides. What sets him apart is not just his expertise, but also his integrity and transparency. He’s always honest about the risks involved in betting and never promises miracles.

I’ve followed his tips closely during previous tournaments, and I’ve been consistently impressed by the results. His meticulous approach and attention to detail have helped me make more informed betting decisions, and I’ve seen my winnings increase as a result.

If you’re looking for reliable, data-driven betting tips for the European football championships, I wholeheartedly recommend Neel and his tipping service.

====================================================

In between all this, I also consult with clients including syndicates and individuals who are looking to level up their betting knowledge and ways to get stakes down and avoid account restrictions.

I am also now a senior trader for tradeonsports, often giving trade advice in the trading advice room. It’s a fantastic service for both football and tennis, run by very experienced traders.

Do get in touch if you’re sold on my experience and wanted some advice to improve your own betting!

You can track my betting record which is publicly available online here

I will be sharing details of my tips service for the Euros and Copa America very soon, so watch this space!
