Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Is InPlayFootballTips.co.uk a tipping platform?

Answer 1: The short answer here is no. We prefer to identify ourselves as a software company. Our goal is to give bettors the resources and tools they need to excel in the betting area. To have syndicate resources at their disposal by utilising techniques like machine learning without having to create them themselves. Our models have the ability to calculate odds, look for stats conditions and highlight potential value bets, but ultimately it is down to the user to decide on the strategy and whether or not they should take the bet.

Question 3: What does value betting mean?

Answer 3: Value betting means placing bets on outcomes where the chances of winning are higher than what the odds suggest. To be successful in sports betting, it's important to carefully choose bets that offer good value. Instead of relying on feelings, successful betting involves analysing numbers and statistics. A quick way to check if a bet has value is by comparing certain odds. Our value calculation is expressed as value = 1/(model odds) - 1/(Bet365 Odds).

Question 4: What are the SharpBets alerts?

Answer 4: These alerts can be configured to be sent directly to your Telegram. The SharpBets, our original product, allows users to receive notifications for Asian handicaps and 1x2 markets. For the tool to generate an alert, the betting market must show a minimum of 4% value difference between our model and Bet365. When a value alert is identified, it will be shared on the VIP Tips page and sent to your Telegram. It's important to note that these alerts are in raw form, and we recommend exercising discretion by not acting on every alert. Instead, consider those that align with your strategies or highlight potential betting opportunities.

Question 5: What does the Volume Slider do?

Answer 5: The Volume Slider enhances the usability of the SharpBets. A machine learning model, is trained based on the success of previous alert conditions.

Question 6: What are the In-Play alerts?

Answer 6: In-Play alerts enable users to integrate rules based on football match statistics, model calculations, and Bet365 odds. Users can receive telegram alerts from our software that highlight matches meeting specified rules. There are two types of In-Play alerts: My Strategies and Quick Alerts. What sets our In-Play apart from competitors is that users can incorporate our model into their alerts.
