Looking for genuinely useful content on sports betting? Whether you’re into matched betting, value strategies, or trading on Betfair, there’s a wealth of information out there — if you know where to look.
A good place to start is the Punter2Pro blog index, where you’ll find guides, reviews, tools, and insights. Punter2Pro is also currently featured among the top betting blogs on Feedspot’s lists for Football Betting, General Betting, and UK Betting.
But it’s not just about my own content — below, I’ve listed some of the best sports betting blogs I’ve come across over the years.
Smart Sports Trader
Ryan, the writer of Smart Sports Trader, has pieced together an excellent starting point for any aspiring professional bettor. His blog posts provide detailed tutorials, as well as (often little-known) product recommendations aimed at helping readers generate consistent profits from the sports betting markets. Ryan documents his progress in a diary format, giving insights into the hits and misses throughout his sports betting journey.
Green All Over
Established in 2008, the Green All Over blog is an independent, common-sense look at challenges and opportunities in sports investing. The writer has an excellent technical understanding of sports betting probabilities and a passion for statistics. While this Blogspot-hosted site looks dated and in need of modernisation — don’t be deceived. It’s one of the longest-standing, most detailed sports betting blogs out there.
Smart Betting Club
The Smart Betting Club (SBC) is a popular blog that focuses on providing independent and unbiased reviews, analysis, and advice on sports betting services, tipsters, and strategies. Founded in 2006, it has since become a trusted source of information for sports bettors looking to improve their profits and ROI. The blog is run by a team of experienced sports bettors and analysts who regularly test and review a wide range of services and tipsters. They provide in-depth analysis and performance reports on each, along with expert advice on how to use the information to improve your betting results.
The Sure Bettor
The Sure Bettor is a website that provides information, tips, and strategies for sports bettors. The site focuses primarily on football (soccer) betting, with a particular emphasis on finding value bets and identifying sure bets. The Sure Bettor provides a range of resources to help users improve their betting skills, including detailed guides on various aspects of football betting, such as how to read betting odds and how to use statistics to inform decisions. The site also offers betting tools and calculators, such as a sure bet calculator and a value bet calculator.
Betfair Trading Community
Betfair Trading Community is a well-established hub for exchange traders, offering guides, strategies, and a strong community aspect. The site helps members improve their Betfair trading skills through education, software tools, and shared insights from experienced traders. Unlike many trading resources, it places heavy emphasis on long-term discipline and realistic expectations, making it a valuable source for those serious about learning the craft.

Mike Cruickshank
Mike Cruickshank is a professional sports bettor and creator of the popular betting systems Bonus Bagging, Profit Maximiser, and Accumulator Generator. He also runs a blog that provides readers with tips, insights, and strategies for making profitable bets on sports. The blog covers a wide range of topics, including matched betting, arbitrage betting, and value betting. It also offers reviews and recommendations of various betting tools and services, as well as tips for managing a bankroll and staying disciplined.
Soccer Widow
When I first started learning about sports betting I found several articles on this site very helpful. The author — the German blogger known as “Soccer Widow” — shares her findings, experiences, and knowledge of the betting markets with her readers. Her site is a good entry point for those seeking smarter ways to profit from sports betting, and it touches on several mathematical approaches without making them too complex to understand.
Matched Betting Blog
Matched Betting Blog provides free information on promotions for Matched Betting. I particularly like the level of detail on each promotion, as well as the supporting tutorials. While the site is no substitute for a premium Matched Betting service like OddsMonkey, it’s an excellent resource for practising the basics.
Goal Profits
Goal Profits is a website and community dedicated to helping people bet more profitably on football matches. The site offers a variety of tools, resources, and services designed to help bettors make more informed decisions and improve their overall success rate. One of the core features is its team of professional football traders, who use their expertise to provide members with insights, analysis, and tips for upcoming matches. They also offer a variety of trading strategies and techniques that can be used to maximise profits.
Trader247
As the free WordPress domain name might suggest, Trader247 is less commercial than many other blogs on this list. But it’s authentic, and was one of the most active automated trading/bot development blogs out there. Great reading for those looking to trade professionally through developing their own betting applications.
More Resources Worth Exploring
While the blogs above offer a wealth of insights — many of them long-established and grounded in real experience rather than hype — I also highly recommend exploring the 12Xpert network, run by betting analyst and author Joseph Buchdahl. There, you’ll find excellent tools and data sources such as:
- Football-Data.co.uk – historical football results, odds, and stats.
- Tennis-Data.co.uk – downloadable data for tennis betting.
You can also follow the 12Xpert Twitter account for regular statistical insights and betting content.
