In case you wish to know some basic information about ourselves, then here’s the place it’ll be!
Ian
First thing to know – don’t try to understand me. The vast majority won’t succeed in doing so because I’m not like anyone else. That’s not a desperate cry for recognition as being unique; it’s just how it. For example – I can make people money on betting long-term and I read the game of football like a book in many, many leagues but I don’t bet seriously myself because I don’t like mixing business with pleasure. I put things into perspective, basically, and I think that’s a good thing on varying levels.
Football – well, I’ve been into football since I was four years old and from that time I have been an actual genuine supporter of Manchester United. Where I live is just outside Manchester so I’m at least relatively qualified to support them! Before I get battered with an onslaught of abuse, I would like to point out that I am a season ticket holder and have been for some years! There’s only one other team I support to a remotely similar degree that I do Manchester United and that is Athletic Club de Bilbao. I admire them and their ethos as well as enjoying their football. Those are effectively my “two teams” if you like. And no, I don’t like bias affect my judgement before you ask!
Unlike most tipsters, I won’t cover competitions/leagues I know nothing about. All the competitions I cover are competitions I know about. I don’t simply adorn statistics either, like most “tipsters” do – statistics can be very misleading. I prefer to watch the games and see what actually happens, you know? I feel that’s far more beneficial. I’d always make the point that statistics are used to support a bet, not to create a bet. If you’re using them to create a bet then you’ll lose, ultimately.
Side-note – the sides I have little tolerance for are Leeds United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Real Sociedad, although I would point out that my personal taste (again) does not affect my judgement. I admire tradition, loyalty, and passion – I dislike mega-rich owners splashing the cash as a hobby, which explains most of the above names. The rest I just don’t like!
Football aside, the other things I’m loosely/heavily interested in are drinking, geography, travelling, history, playing pool, music, gambling, philosophy, geology, paganism, languages, walking, women - and that’s about it really, although most of these are linked when I journey between my home and the pub! Music is my major “second” interest though – I like far too many styles of music though! Suffice to say that no day in my life is without football and music at somepoint.
I don’t think there’s a lot else to say – you can email me at thefootytipster@gmail.com should you feel inclined although please be patient when awaiting a response – I have about three jobs and I’m not here every second of the day, much as thought I’d like to be.
Toby
Well there isn’t too much to say about me – I will be honest and say I am not a huge football fan, I enjoy a good game but stopped supporting teams properly a while ago (I used to be an avid Linfield fan).
Music and web development are my two main pastimes and I enjoy a good ale as well!
I will update this more when I have something better to say!
Others
Although it’s Ian and Toby that run this site, it’s worth pointing out that the site would not function without its users so thanks to all of you, especially those who have shown us continued loyalty throughout the years. There are other people behind the scenes that help Ian with his tips on occasion and they know who they are and that their work is appreciated!
Hey mate!
Thanks…I think?!
As I’ve said before now, we don’t monitor success ratios for reasons mentioned in the “FAQ” section at the top of the page.
I actually do post all of my thoughts on here – I don’t hold anything back. What would be the point? I’m here to be successful, not to make a profit behind everyone else’s back and laugh at them ;)
Anyway, cheers mate, feel free to post on our posts if you have some teams regarding the UPL as it’s sometimes hard to find such information.
Always good to see the work on here being complimented but ALL credit goes to Ian who puts in a lot of time and effort to put his tips up. And Sergiy you are very correct in saying that most people normally charge to give out tips but yet again credit to Ian. Cheers fella.
There’s a lot of guys on here now that are part of the growing community who share tips and advice. I’m sure if 5-10 of us guys got together we would get atleast a 80% win rate (which is very possible but with a small profit margin).
Then again, there’s also a lot of us want to get rich fast for various reasons and we go for the “value bet” which is the difference between this site and others. Other sites will just tell you the dead certain bets with rubbish odds and there’s always one team that will let you down and cost you a lot of money!
Keep checking the website and we’ll always post tips on here but some people may not always post their tips for very obvious reasons which is where the boundary unfortunately breaks! (if that makes sense)
I’m a student and would send you an email if I had the time but that’s just hassle so keep checking and gather the general gist of what people are betting on.
Good luck ;)
Hey, I have been going through your predictions and previews and let me tell you, they are absolutely detailed and one of the best compared to other sites.
Cheers mate :)
Hello Ian, it’s Vikash from Mauritius.
I have followed your tips since beginning of this year and what amazed me is the precision of your predictions. Your really the master in giving tips and match previews specially the not well known leagues like Norway, Sweden , Belarus, Finland, Russia, etc.
The only regret is that you don’t cover all matches which i believe is very time and energy consuming.
Anyway, thanks for all your invaluable advice provided free to all.
Sincere Thanks.
I come from China, I would like to be friends with you.
I love you, support your work
I will also provide you information on China League
you can email me your information at
leeyingan@163.com
Sincere Thanks.
Ooh rops was a harsh one but providing e gland u19 hold on an 85 profit will co e home
Well you’ve lost me straight away, no time for Leeds United!!!!! Scum fans are all the same, just stick to your own side of the big hill!
The only decent thing to come out of Lancashire …………………………….. The M62!!!
Haha ok, as you wish mate :)

Cheers mate :) Good luck this year – may the best side win it!
HI GUYS, THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICES.
I WANT TO PARTICIPATE AT YOUR WORK BY SOME ADVICES OR TIPS? I M NOT SO BAD
THANKS
Hey mate,
Thanks for the offer but I’m very selective with who works with me for tips. In fact, I’m so damn picky with it that I only allow myself to work with me currently :) That may change in future but we’ll have to see.
Hi mate,
Im new to this site, just found it on wednesday, had one winner and one loser so far. I bet on football alot, i wouldnt say im a mug punter, i hardly back away teams. i do like your site, i like how you go into detail and that you know much about many leagues, my preffered bets at the moment are laying away teams, especially man utd this season, even though im a fan :) I will be checking out your site everyday to see how things go.
good luck
you guys are doing a great job and we always appreciate..thanks guys.
can you please include AC Milan Juve game as one of your in depth previews for Saturday’s matches?
No – there isn’t any value there.
Great site just found it at the weekend and have had a few winners so far , i like the goal spread predictions its something i wouldn,t have done beforehand , just one question when is the site updated for the next days matches in GMT ?
Cheers mate.

Hi man
Just want to say that you are doing an impressive job with your previews. They are extremely detailed and don’t think you can find my better ones around. Even when I disagree with your predictions, they are a tremendous help when placing bets.
Regards
Stingerro.
