About Top Tennis Tips:

This is a tennis tipster working via ‘artificial intelligence’, which claims to provide about 5,000 bets per month on all of the major tennis tournament circuits.

My Review:

Immediately, I am put off by the emphasis on ‘all tennis tournament circuits’. I don’t personally believe that a focus on, say, the challenger circuit with its much lower ranked players and consequent inconsistencies will really pay longterm.

The claimed bet number is of course way too much. And the use of ‘artificial’ intelligence, while cold, calculated and systematic, lacks an element of human flexibility.

Will a piece of software note in-form players, or the certain characteristics of certain players? For instance, John Isner, Ivo Karlovic and Milos Raonic possess service games which are extremely hard to break.

There is an option at the website to focus on the ATP top events singularly. This is perhaps what I would prefer.

With the software you can create your own parameters in which to bet. The software will highlight matches which exactly match your pre-set parameters, which you can first back test.

Top Tennis Tips claim a 98.27% ‘accuracy’ strike rate. We need to define what they mean by ‘accuracy’, as this cannot be the strike rate, and how this is measured. It is impossible, unless you are extremely picky, and these guys have told us already that they provide about 5,000 bets per month.

With software products, the seller can claim no responsibility for losses incurred because he will claim that your parameters are causing your losing run – garbage in and garbage out.

In a recent test, using these parameters:

»  a probability of success greater than 75%;

»  odds of 1.1 or higher;

»  bet value of 0.9 or lower.

The Results:

Practical issues – Some of the lesser events were hard to bet on. They were either highly illiquid at Betfair or their odds were hard to find.

After 150 bets, the strike rate was 75% – 48 bets lost and a loss of 0.9 points accrued.

A lot of work for nothing. The service costs $69 per week, which is a tad expensive considering you are pretty much left to your own devices as regarding finding those parameters and that edge which will produce a consistent long-term profit.

Overall Summary:

No doubt it is an excellent idea, to have a database of results, and software which is ‘learning’ distinctions all of the time. What is missing from this software is a selection of staking plans with which to take the back- tested results through. This, I feel, will add greatly to Top Tennis Tips.
