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.
Since March 2022, he has already built up a profit of 132.85 points. This is with a maximum stake of 4 points, although most bets are between 0.5 and 2 points.
The 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 9.00am, with plenty of time before the start of the match.
We will be following the service for at least three months and will be posting an update of our results on a monthly basis.
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 until we got to the six month mark to see how things would play out.
