With COVID-19 raging globally, life is far from normal. Business is down in every major domain, including sports and the countless professions it sustains. One prime example is the sports betting industry. With casinos shutting down too, the switch to online gambling is on a rise.

New Jersey sportsbooks recorded a 50% year-on-year revenue loss in March 2020 as the pandemic cut short every major global sporting event. The loss is significant since this is the busiest fiscal quarter for the sports betting industry.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Sports Betting Industry

The business this year is down to $13.2 million, a sharp decline of 58.3% from March 2019. The amount wagered is also significantly low, at a measly $187.1 million compared to $372.4 million during the same period last year, according to NJ sportsbooks. The story is the same across different states where gambling is legal.

March marks the beginning of the sports season for Garden State sportsbooks, with the NCAA college basketball, NHL, and NBA seasons commencing. This year’s situation was grim from the beginning. With almost every gaming establishment in the country shutting down, the lives of nearly 650,000 workers have been affected, according to the American Gaming Association.

There have also been reports of a stark increase of gambling scams as criminals seek to exploit the current situation.

Reports further predict $43 billion in lost revenue if the situation persists for the next two months. There is a silver lining, however. Online gambling websites have seized this opportunity, venturing into previously uncharted territory dominated by land-based casinos. Here’s a list of popular betting sites by Gamblerguy.com

The Switch to Online Gambling

With businesses moving online, it is but natural gambling follows suit. With the general consensus agreeing to the move, hailing it as a major step towards humanity’s goal of adapting a digital future. A spike in online betting was recently noticed in the UK. While a majority of people strictly follow a once-per-week gambling policy, 28% have increased their activity. With 11% claiming to be hooked to this convenient betting process.

With conventional sporting events under lockdown, a race to find alternatives is on full swing. Tennis and esports are the current favorites among regulars. With more esports tournaments popping up on primetime slots, it is only a matter of time before the world adapts to this new normal.

Sports agencies view esports as a potent strategy to reach out to a new fanbase while keeping in touch with existing fans. NASCAR’s iRacing initiative is perhaps the best example. The void left by traditional sporting events is too wide to fill within such a short span. However, it isn’t an impossible task.

The biggest hurdle for online gambling is the lack of regulation. Without laws to protect players and businesses, malpractice is on a rise from both ends. However, as states continue to assess the situation, a uniform and stringent policy is expected shortly. Couple that with a significant portion of the global population speaking against online gambling, the future remains uncertain.


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.
