A Look Back at the Greatest Sports Moments of 2016

Every year has its own unique sporting events that leave a mark and 2016 is no different. We have seen the best of talent retire and individuals pulling out unexpected results. Michael Phelps broke a 200-year-old Olympic record, which was impressive. In similar style, the 108 year wait for the Chicago Cubs ended with a World Series championship. Here is a quick rejoinder of some of the remarkable milestones that defined 2016.

Serena Williams Matches Steffi Graf’s Record

Records were matched in the world of tennis. At 33 years old, Serena has finally won her 22nd Grand Slam Title. Williams overcame Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 at the Wimbledon Final. Now, the only player in the history of tennis with more Grand Slam titles is Margaret Court with 24, and Williams could surpass this mark this year.

Usain Bolt Achieves a Triple-Triple Performance

Touted as the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt achieved his triple action challenge in style. Bolt arrived home with an impressive 9 gold medals. He swept the 100m, 200m and 4 by 100m sprint relay events. Bolt also stated that this might be his last Olympic appearance and there is wide consensus that we will have to wait for a very long time before another athlete fills his shoes. He is undoubtedly a living legend.

Michael Phelps Breaks a 2,000-year old Olympic Record

Bolt might dominate the land but Michael Phelps is the king of the water. Phelps is the most decorated Olympic athlete today with an impressive 22 gold medal count. He broke a 2,000 year old record set in 152 B.C by Leonidas of Rhodes. After winning the 200m individual Medley at the Rio Olympics, Phelps had just achieved 13 individual Olympic triumphs.

The Cleveland Cavaliers win the NBA Championships Title

Emerging from a 3-1 deficit against the fired up Golden State Warriors, LeBron James and his Cavalier team mates gave Cleveland their first NBA Championship title. This highly competitive event saw James receiving a unanimous MVP vote for the third time.

Leicester City the New English Premier League Title Holders

Only a year after being promoted to the English Premier League, Leicester City pulled out an unexpected winning run to lift the English Premier League title. The Foxes took down some of England’s best teams as Jamie Vardy went on a magical goal scoring run.

Peyton Manning Ends His Career

Hailed as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, Peyton Manning led the Broncos to a 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. This made Manning the first player in NFL history to lift two super bowl titles with two different teams.

England Wins the Six Nations Rugby Title

For the first time since 2011, England won the 6 Nations Title. Ladbrokes created a great highlight of the tournaments best moments here. They managed to lift the title with a match to spare after France suffered a shocking 29-18 away defeat to Scotland. What’s even more remarkable is that it was Eddie Jones’s first season as coach.

All in all we can conclude that 2016 was a great year for the sporting world. If 2016 was of any indication, we can definitely expect a highly charged year for 2017.

 


What is the purpose of club membership?

Most members use the advisory to generate profits via bookmaker and/or exchange accounts. For someone staking £100 per match this has yielded thousands in profit even once the annual membership fee is deducted.

Will bookmakers limit my account(s)?

Most likely, yes. Club bets have a proven track record of value (+ EV) and bookmakers are likely to notice this. Short term you’ll be fine but longer term we suggest using betting exchanges or ‘winners welcome’ bookmakers or brokers. That’s why we always quote and record odds from Betfair Exchange for members as that illustrates profits for those who are limited.

How will it work after joining?

Your membership will be confirmed with a personal welcome email. You’ll get 12 months access from a single payment and there is no auto renewal – we’ll simply ask if you wish to continue after the year has elapsed. You should expect an average of two emails per week detailing the advised selection, match, tournament and odds. Simply login to your betting account and place a wager on the selected market. We only use standard match winner bets, often referred to as the moneyline, so coverage is extensive at virtually all betting portals. Have any questions? Please visit the contact us page. Average response time 24h.

Is club membership limited?

Yes, we allow a maximum of ten members to have an active annual membership at any one time. This is to preserve value and market liquidity. Essentially ensuring it’s practical to obtain the advised odds without them disappearing too quickly.

What bankroll is required?

We suggest £10,000 or more ideally although smaller can work. Most members choose to follow our advice of staking 1% per match. This means it automatically adjusts and scales as the total grows and compounds returns. In the above example; the member would have yielded over £3,000 profit but had to pay the membership fee leaving them with a net profit in excess of £2200. Some members have vastly exceeded this by staking higher amounts but please remember to have a long term focus and ensure capacity for successive losses.

What type of bets should I expect?

Always match winner bets covering men’s professional tennis. This includes ATP events, Challenger and Grand Slams. We specialise in high odds underdogs which have yielded the most considerable profits in extensive back testing. Selections with odds of 10/1 (11.00) are not uncommon. We deliver advisory emails at a consistent time with a minimum of six hours before the scheduled start time to ensure plenty of time to get bets placed.

Who is the club open to?

Everyone with a decent bankroll and a long term outlook. We have members from around the world betting in many different currencies and jurisdictions. Tennis Tips UK are based in the United Kingdom, hence the name, but the club is truly global.

How is profit tracked?

For transparency we operate a public spreadsheet. This shows all key metrics such as units profit, ROI, yield and strike rate. We even monitor the Avg Diff CO % for those statisticians amongst you. In a nutshell this measures the implied value by comparing the advised odds with the sharp closing line. 2% is deducted from all recorded profit figures to simulate exchange commission. Just to clarify bets are only added to the spreadsheet post result confirmation to retain exclusivity of access to paid club members.

For winning bets our team also publish profit reports which feature the original email sent to members for additional tracking and verification purposes. This also includes a rating for that specific prediction which gives an insight into how our strategy is optimised over time.

Who picks the bets for club members?

Tennis Tips UK have grown into a small team over the years. Founded way back in 2013 by an odds compiler at a leading EU bookmaker. Since then joined by a quant and business manager. Each one of us lives and breathes tennis but we like to let our results speak for themselves rather than make outlandish personal claims.

Why don’t you bet on your own picks if they are so good?

We do, frequently. The issue surrounds liquidity and limitations. Club members have access to a wide range of liquidity from global sportsbooks and exchanges. We, as individuals, are far more restricted. Typically though we still stake an average of £10k per week on our selections but unfortunately virtually every bookmaker has long since banned us. We should take it a compliment really as a limitation is an endorsement of the profitability of your bets from an often billion pound institution.

Is there a way to reduce the cost of membership?

The fee is set at a level which allows us to fill membership places. If you are a prospective first time club member enter the promo code ‘TTUK10’ during checkout to reduce the cost. Please note this is a one time discount and not available for returning members.
