Most punters searching for value betting tips end up in the same places.
A Telegram group full of noise, a Twitter feed packed with afterboomers, or a betting site tipping a winner that was 11/4 two hours ago.
It’s easy to feel like value betting is some hidden secret. But it isn’t. You just need to know where to look.
If you want to back bets that actually carry an edge, you need tips that are price-led, posted early, and built on proper insight. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

What Is a Value Bet?
A value bet is when the odds offered by the bookmaker are higher than the actual chance of the outcome happening.
For example, if a team has a 60 percent chance of winning, the fair odds would be 1.67. If a bookmaker is offering 2.0, that’s value. It means you’re getting more back than the risk deserves.
You won’t win every bet. But if you keep backing prices that are too big, the edge builds up over time. That’s how sharp punters stay profitable.
Want to see how value betting works in real markets?
Check out our guides on spotting value in football and finding value in horse racing — both packed with real examples and pricing insight.
Professional bettors don’t rely on hunches. They exploit inefficiencies in the market by identifying prices that haven’t adjusted to team news, data, or pressure from early money.
Here’s how they do it.
Watching early odds movement
Markets often shift when sharp money hits. If prices at firms like Pinnacle, SBO or Marathonbet start to shorten, it usually means the original odds were too high. Spotting that movement early is a key edge.
Using data and modelling
Some bettors run models based on xG, player metrics and past performance. They generate their own prices and compare them to the bookies’. When there’s a difference, that’s the value.
Getting in early
Markets are weakest just after opening. That’s when the bookmakers have the least information. Sharp punters act fast to get on before the market adjusts and the price tightens.
If you enjoy markets like player props and corners, our bet builder value betting guide explains how to find mispriced odds in football bet builders before they get cut.

There are good free tips out there, especially for goals, cards and stat-based markets.
We post free football and free racing tips every day at Tipman, and they’re a great entry point for casual punters or those looking to test new ideas.
But when it comes to proper value bets, things are different.
Because the odds move quickly, especially when multiple people are on the same tip, we limit all Premium and Elite Value bets to paying subscribers only. This protects the price and gives our members the best chance of staying ahead of the market.
Free tips can land, and they can be fun to follow. But if your goal is long-term profit through value, you need a service that posts early, tracks results, and protects the edge.
If you’re following someone else’s tips, here’s what to look for.
They beat the closing price
Good tipsters post bets that shorten over time. That’s the sign they’re ahead of the market and identifying true value.
They show full results
You should be able to see every tip, every price, every return. Not just strike rates, but ROI, sample size, and losses too. If it’s not transparent, don’t trust it.
They focus on price, not opinions
It doesn’t matter who the team is or what league it’s in. If the price is too high, it’s value. That’s the only thing that matters long term.
They post tips you can actually bet on
If every tip is with obscure firms or limited accounts, the strategy won’t last. Real services post bets at places like Bet365, Paddy Power, and SkyBet — where most punters actually bet.
We built Tipman to offer a proper alternative to the noise.
Premium Value is for everyday punters who want to get started with proper betting. Our analysts post early, beat the market, and track every tip. You don’t need to model odds yourself. You just follow the edge.
Elite Value is for serious punters. These are fewer, sharper bets that can take bigger stakes and stay under the radar. Entry is capped, and prices are protected to maintain the edge.
We don’t post for attention. We post tips that beat the price.
Tipman Elite Value is by far our most profitable value betting service and averages over 100% ROI per month since inception. Word of warning – The bookies hate it and will eventually restrict your account.
If you want to stop losing on guesswork, stop chasing outcomes and start betting on prices.
That’s how professionals do it.
That’s how we do it.
And it’s how you should be betting too.
Find the edge. Back it early. Stick to it.
That’s value. And that’s how you win.
What are value betting tips?
Value betting tips are bets where the odds are higher than the true probability of the event happening. They give punters a long-term advantage over the bookmaker.
How do I know if a betting tip has value?
The best sign is if the odds shorten after you get on. Beating the closing price consistently is a strong indicator of real value.
Can I make a profit from value betting?
Yes. Value betting is a proven strategy for long-term profit. It relies on finding overpriced odds and letting the maths work over time.
Are free value betting tips reliable?
Free tips can land, but they’re rarely value bets. The best value tips move fast and are usually reserved for paying subscribers to protect the price and the edge.
Where is the best place to get value betting tips?
Tipman Premium and Elite Value services offer tracked, early, price-led tips trusted by thousands of punters. If you want to bet with an edge, that’s the place to start.
