The Football Guru is a tips service which claims to have had three successful years tipping over at Betting Gods.
They have reported a profit of £5,593.82 to £10 stakes at an ROI of 6.4% to date and there is a full history of results to view starting from 2015.
The service is now offered through the Tipping Gurus platform and covers worldwide football leagues.
The Football Guru seems to focus on the more popular leagues rather than anything too obscure. The markets include Match Odds, Both Teams to Score, handicaps and Over/Under Goals, plus there are occasional accumulators thrown into the mix.
Selections are sent out via email between 10pm and midnight the evening before the matches and they can also be accessed via a private member's area.
We tracked results at the advised odds as well as the actual odds available.

BF Bot Manager Review: Automate Your Betting/Trading Systems
BF Bot Manager is an application that allows you to design and run bots to automate your betting and trading systems using custom sets of rules and conditions.
Clear Bonus Profits Review: Matched Betting Service
In just three months, Ollie barely touched the surface of what was available at Clear Bonus Profits but still managed to bank a healthy profit of £1,400.86. That works out at an impressive average of £467 profit per month.
Winning Footy Tips Review: Profitable Football Tipster
Winning Footy Tips banked 33.01 points profit (45.8% ROI) during our review. The service sends out football tips by email twice per week at value odds.
Month One Results
We had a pretty horrendous start to our Football Guru review, losing almost half of our bank in one month. At the available odds, we recorded a total loss of 71.2 points from 107 bets.
It was going to take some doing to get back on track from here, but hitting a winning accumulator bet would certainly help.

Month Two Results
It was a better month for The Football Guru service in comparison to our first update, but we still only just managed to break even at the available odds. With still just under 71 points to recover, it seemed like a long road ahead.

Review Summary
We tracked almost 400 bets over a four month period in our review of The Football Guru, but unfortunately due to a terrible start at the beginning of our trial, we were unable to finish with an overall profit.
Month set us back with a loss of 71.2 points, so we spent the rest of the trial hoping for a dramatic recovery. The service did make some headway following this with two winning months in a row, but it wasn't nearly enough to get back on track.
Overall we finished with a total loss of 53 points which worked out as a 35.3% decrease to our 150 point starting bank.
It's notoriously difficult to make a profit from betting on football, especially top flight leagues that the bookmaker's traders will have put a lot of work into analysing and ensuring that they have the edge.
Based on the results of our trial, sadly this service has to go down as a fail.
