Bankroll Management – Tennis Betting Guide

Table of Contents

Those following tipster services normally obsess over short term performance. Often completely discounting the relevance of a well thought out ‘Bankroll Management’ strategy. Tipsters will sometimes advise stakes as units or even an exact monetary figure however our team advise that followers develop their own strategy and stick with it long term.

It takes just a few minutes to formulate so let’s explore the key components to build a bankroll management approach that will make a night and day difference to returns.

Bankroll management is a crucial element to consider when following a tipster but if often overlooked as insignificant.

STEP 1: Total Bankroll – Available Funds

The key here is honesty. How much can you allocate to following a tipster. This needs to be disposable income that you would be comfortable (if not happy) losing in a worse case scenario. Just because you are following an expert with a proven track record does not mean the core pillars of responsible gambling are void. You are still ultimately responsible for bets placed and personal accountability and control are vital. That’s why our team learn towards followers building their own bankroll strategy as a bespoke insight into personal finances is required.

Takeaway: Decide on a figure in £/$/€

Before proceeding from this stage – you will need to have a figure. This is the total amount you will allocate to following the tipster’s advisory. Keep it in a separate account. Remember this has to be money that is disposable and would not impact you financially if lost.

STEP 2: Choosing Stake Size – Consistency is Key

Scaling stake sizing is a the ‘secret sauce’ for long term success. This means that instead of staking fixed amounts per bet or unit, known as flat staking, the follower allocated an amount based on their total bankroll (for example 1% per unit advised by the tipster). This has multiple benefits such as allowing the punter to grow their total over time with a long term focus and also limiting downside in negative periods.

Takeaway: Total Bankroll (from step one) divided by 100 = Stake Size

It’s probably best to explain with an example. If your total bankroll is £100 then we would advise staking £1 per unit. That’s 1%. If you want to be more aggressive this could be increased to 2%. The key is to stay consistent and don’t change once started. If a tipster advises varied staking then simply use your percentage based approach to calculate the stake.

STEP 3: Staying Disciplined

Stick with your approach and never change it or chase losses. This approach sets the correct mindset for a long term investment style instead of the usually fatal short-termism.

Conclusion: Trying to profit from a tipsters advisory without bankroll management is like attempting to play tennis without a ball. It’s a core ingredient and cannot be ignored. Dedicate a few minutes of your time to develop an approach and stick with it.

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 or Pinnacle for members as that illustrates profits for those who are limited elsewhere.

How will it work after joining?

Your membership will be confirmed with a personal welcome email. You’ll get one month of access per payment. 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, and set handicap markets 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 memberships 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 (moneyline) 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. Tennis betting picks in the 5.00-10.00 odds range are common with a minimum level of EVENS (2.00). 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. Please note while the default currency is pounds – the checkout page also permits dollars or euros. These should be presented as an option or automatically switched based on your location. It’s also possible to pay in other currencies using the exchange rate for that day.

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 ‘NEWCLUB10’ during checkout to reduce the cost. Please note this is a one time discount and not available for returning members.

How do you ascertain if a tennis betting market presents value?

Since 2013 we have actively built, deployed, maintained and optimised a tennis betting data model. This serves as the foundation of our team’s analysis. We don’t rely on it entirely but it gives a reliable indication as to where the price for a specific player should be. Significant discrepancies between this and actual live market prices across bookmakers and exchanges often flag our attention for further research.

Will club bets always win?

No. When a specific bet is advised our team are stating there is value in the quoted odds. In other words the true probability of that outcome is higher than the implied figure derived from market odds. Long term backing these bets consistently will deliver considerable profit as our results illustrate. However members should be prepared to lose successive bets frequently as the club focuses on significant underdogs. Sometimes a large percentage of annual returns can come from a single selection.

This is one of the key reasons that the club is now so focused on long term members and making that clear upfront. It was very frustrating to see some join for just a few weeks, lose bets then leave. This benefits nobody. New members should adopt a disciplined bankroll management strategy. The most common is simply staking 1% total bankroll per match. If a handful of consecutive losses would cause terminal bankroll damage then stakes need reducing.

Can I see an example of exactly what I would receive in my inbox as a club member?

This was a real email sent to club members. It may look a little intimidating initially but the selection in bold is the only essential piece of information to profit. We operate a simple staking strategy of 1 unit = 1% total bankroll. Each email consists of the tournament, match, selection, advised stake, minimum odds and projected win probability. This format will always be followed for consistency.
