As the legendary Jesse Livermore once wrote, “If there’s some easy money lying around, no one is going to force it into your pocket.” This especially holds true in today’s spread betting and sports betting industries. Anyone who has ever spent significant amounts of time watching the flow of the sports betting and spread betting industries can tell you that if it is a real deal, chances are you will likely be the last person who is actually going to be notified. In short, if someone comes to you with a one-in-a-million opportunity or something that sounds too good to be true or is specifically targeted for you and only you, and you suddenly find yourself “in the loop”, chances are you are being scammed.

Free betting tips are generalized. This is regardless of which betting site offers the tips. No company in their right mind is going to offer money-making betting tips to the general public without making some form of commission or fee in return for that information being handed out. If a sports team is suddenly being touted as the best thing since sliced bread, if a company is suddenly being promoted as the next big thing, then chances are there is a manipulator behind the scenes looking to spread hype and dump shares on the market. While there are plenty of real betting tips available, the only ones that guarantee results are the ones offered by fee-charging tipsters at legitimate websites such as William Hill and Ladbrokes.
