The latest Smart Betting Club Magazine, Issue 168, is out now.
And this month we’ve turned our attention to golf betting, including a detailed new analysis of one of the best known free tipsters in the game and the PGA Tour expert with a 25% ROI since 2018.
BEN COLEY: 4,957 BETS, +2,112 POINTS PROFIT
Ben Coley’s golf tips have been available completely free through Sporting Life for more than a decade.
We’ve reviewed and tracked him several times over the years, and his complete record makes for impressive reading:
- 4,957 bets analysed
- +2,112.92 points profit
- 17.60% ROI
- Tips available free of charge
But there’s another reason we’ve returned to Coley now.
He’s currently experiencing the worst drawdown of his tracked record.
So what does more than a decade of data tell us?
How difficult can the losing periods become?
And what happens to the betting market after Coley’s selections are released? A crucial question to ask of any popular free tipster and especially here.
We break down the numbers and the practical realities of following his bets in SBC 168.

- Staking and bet volumes
- Losing runs and drawdowns
