ProFooty Review: Football Betting Tips Service

ProFooty is a football betting tips service run by established tipster Geir Høistad, who has results dating back to 2016.

The service is fairly new but he had previously been running a successful service at a tipster platform, before making a personal decision to cut ties and go at it on his own.

Geir has 35 years experience in the betting industry. He even wrote a book about how he was making a living from sports betting back in 1997. As well as that, he has also worked as a bookmaker and a funds manager in the past.

He delivered an ROI of 18% over 1,000 bets in his time tipping between 2016 - 2018, which is an impressive figure, particularly for football betting. He achieved this by going against the flow and often backing underdogs rather than hot favourites.

At the time we started our review, he had already built up a profit of 132.85 points since March 2022. This was with a maximum stake of 4 points, although most bets were between 0.5 and 2 points.

His bets are mostly for the Match Odds market but there are also some Draw No Bet tips and Asian Handicaps.

They are sent out by email each morning at around 8.00am UK time, with plenty of time before the start of the match.

We followed the service for five months and you will find our full results and stats below.

Betting Gods Review: Betting Tips From Professional Tipsters
Betting Gods is one of the most popular tipster platforms and has been home to some of the best tipping services for a range of sports since 2014.

Month One Update

It was a fantastic start to our ProFooty review with 18.66 points profit at an ROI of 23.9% at the available odds.

We were able to make an extra 5.41 points profit more than the advised odds. This was partly because Geir was quite generous with what he put down as the general odds available, with often higher odds available at other bookmakers.

We also found that the odds would sometimes drift later in the day, with many of the bets being on underdogs.

The markets are not obscure like some football betting tips services, so there is plenty of liquidity if you prefer to bet on Betfair Exchange. The odds at exchanges are similar most of the time and occasionally quite a lot better.

Month Two Update

Month two of our ProFooty review turned out to be a shocker, with 33.8 points lost at the available odds. It was a dreadful set of results with just 1 winning bet from a total of 22.

There was some compensation for those who were following Geir's World Cup 2022 tips which were available for free for members of the main service.

These tips made 16.45 points profit altogether, which would have softened the blow from the main results. 

We hoped that it was just a blip and that there would be a profit to make up for it in month three.

Month Three Update

It was a better month for ProFooty but unfortunately we didn't finish it with a profit, losing 3.73 points at the available odds.

Overall we had lost 18.87 points in three months, but it felt like things were turning around. Given the nature of the service in the way that they often bet on underdogs, a few winning bets could totally change things.

We were happy to continue the review for a longer period to see if results improved.

Month Four Update

It was another bad month for ProFooty with a further loss of 17.55 points, making it a total of 36.42 points lost altogether.

As we were putting our results together, we noticed a lot of draws during the first two weeks of the month. In the first 15 selections, there were 7 draws, 6 of them 1-1 and then a 2-2.

Also in 11 of them both teams scored, so it was clear to see how close it was to a lot of those bets being returning a profit with the favourites failing to win and the underdogs scoring against them.

Soon after this, Geir tipped Mönchengladbach to beat Bayern Munich which duly won and gave us 13 points profit. It was a great win after such a bad run.

Despite the poor results during the previous few months, we decided to keep our review running to see how things would play out.

Month Five Update

Month five of our ProFooty review was following a similar pattern with another losing streak and our bank dropping 20+ points, but there was a big win right on the very last day that gave us 16 points profit.

We still finished in the red for the month with 1.8 points lost, making it the fourth losing month in a row.

Review Summary

There was just one winning month out of five during our ProFooty review and although we had planned to keep going until we reached six months, it just seemed fruitless.

We had experienced four losing months in a row and lost 38.22 points at the available odds.

We continued to record results for a few days into the sixth month and it got even worse with a further 25 points lost. Whilst we had been hoping for a turnaround, it was looking dire as the bank headed towards the danger zone.

It was a shame having known Geir for several years and seeing the success of his previous service. However, that doesn't mean his future services were going to achieve the same and clearly it wasn't working out this time.

The price tag was much higher than the standard for tips services at €99 per month, so we would have expected consistent profit to be able to cover it.

The tips had also been readily available on Betfair Exchange, usually at the same odds or on quite a few occasions, even higher. That would have been a big plus for the service, but unfortunately it wasn't to be.

It's a clear "fail" for ProFooty.
