PGA Profit is a golf betting tipster service that is being offered through the Betting Gods platform of tipsters. Selections come courtesy of tipster Matt.
Introduction to PGA Profit
Golf betting is immensely interesting to me. Which is pretty ironic because I cannot stand golf. I can’t play it, I can’t watch it, it holds no interest to me. So why am I so interested in golf betting? Well, the short answer to this is probably one that most people who bet can get behind. That is the profit potential. There is a hell of a lot of money to be made through golf betting. Now, because I know full well that I will never take this on myself, I am always on the lookout for something that will help me to unlock this.
That brings me nicely to PGA Profit. I can’t really mince my words here. This is a hugely impressive looking tipster service. Of course, this is in no small part down to the profits that are on show. Betting Gods’ own proofing shows that Matt is capable of making some really huge profits. On top of that, the service is well manged (as you’d expect), and it is also a service that is ultimately incredibly easy to follow along with. Something that you don’t really see all that often. So, you might be thinking. This is a winner, right?
Well, not entirely. You see, whilst the overall performance for PGA Profit is amazing, it isn’t without fault. The fact is that this is something that I think is probably best described as “high risk, high reward”. Something that I know will immediately put people off. And when you put all of that into its proper context, I can definitely see why. I don’t think Betting Gods would see it as unreasonable to describe this as at least a touch on the polarising side. So, with all of that said, let’s get into it and see why.
What Does PGA Profit Offer?
One of the things that I really like about PGA Profit is that it isn’t really like anything else on the market. Especially not in terms of golf tipster services. Importantly, it manages to achieve this by simplifying things greatly. Of course, this ultimately allows for easier use as a punter, and a more consistent experience across the board.
You see, a lot of golf tipsters that I have looked at will bet through the week. They like to meddle a bit. There are bets advised at the start of an event, and then they start backing players on all kinds of individual and round by round basis. Sometimes these pay off. But a lot of the time, it just neds up feeling like mitigation at the cost of additional work. That isn’t the case with PGA Profit at all, which is a big part of why I like it.
As Betting Gods say, this is simple to follow. There is one email per week that is sent out. This is sent out around 10.30am every Tuesday. If there aren’t bets, then you’re notified of this as well. Now, something that is worth highlighting at this point is that there isn’t necessarily a lot of consistency in bets from PGA Profit in terms of the numbers.
Some days (well, weeks), you’ll have just one or two tips advised. Others, it may be as many as 9. There aren’t hard and fast rules there, but that is something that is quite encouraging to me. Because betting on golf isn’t something that tends to be as consistent as some sports. Even when it’s as stripped down as PGA Profit is.
At this point, it’s almost impossible to not talk about the types of bets. Not surprisingly, it is all very simple. PGA Profit is based around ante type bets wherein you are backing a golfer to win the tournament. The proofing from Betting Gods shows that these have all been backed on an each way basis. This is pretty commonplace for golf betting, but it’s nice to see it as a focus and not just a punt.
The reason that I have to point that out is because a lot of golf tipsters will just “give it a go” on some of the longer shots. For some context on this, Betting Gods show that PGA Profit has had winners at 19.00, 47.00 and even 67.00. Bets have placed at even higher odds than this with 151.00 being the biggest example.
That kind of range is quite typical as well. Matt clearly favours some long shots and these can be all the way up to 250/1. This is the kind of thing that I’d want to see from a golf tipster service. The whole appeal of golf betting is nailing down those big wins and it is very apparent that PGA Profit can deliver on this. Using an odds comparison site can further increase this.
So far, this has all been pretty positive, but now it is time to address something that is something of a problem with PGA Profit. That is the staking plan. Now, problem is probably a bit unfair. But it’s hard to ignore that Matt does favour some quite high stakes. This can involve as much as 5 points on a given bet.
Whilst there is definitely rhyme and reason to this, it can also lead to some massive impact on your betting bank. Betting Gods themselves mention that the maximum drawdown for PGA Profit is a whopping 103 points. Whilst the recommended 200 point betting bank has covered this, it still takes a lot to be able to keep betting through those kinds of losses.
And as you might expect, building on all of this, there isn’t a particularly high strike rate. Just 15.18% according to Betting Gods’ calculations. Now, in some respects, that really isn’t too bad given the nature of the service. But it does highlight that those periods of drawdown are definitely to be expected with PGA Profit.
How Does PGA Profit Work?
Rather unfortunately, we aren’t really given any insight into what the selection process for PGA Profit entails. Whilst this is definitely a frustrating thing, I also have to acknowledge that this is pretty much standard practice for services from within the Betting Gods group. The thing is, I don’t think that you can really say that you come into this blind either.
It is clear to me that a big element of PGA Profit is obtaining value. This is pretty much standard for golf tipsters, and the odds really do reflect that. This is a service that is all about bagging those big winners and taking home big profits. The fact is that those massive outsiders don’t appear to be selected just for the sake of it. This is evidenced in the fact that Matt isn’t just throwing out those 100/1 journeymen. There are shorter odds involved as well.
Adding to some of the mitigation here is the fact that whilst I know that Betting Gods don’t publish this information, they are a well oiled machine at this point. As such, I don’t believe for a single minute that Matt hasn’t had some kind of conversation explaining his approach, and that there must be something of merit there. All of this means that I really do believe that there is a proper system behind PGA Profit, even if we aren’t told what it is.
Finally, there is all of the proofing that Betting Gods provide. This is of the highest calibre with every bet logged. This means that you can look at this and easily get an idea of what you can expect from PGA Profit. Whilst it isn’t really a direct replacement for understanding exactly what sort of thing you’re getting into, it is certainly a lot more than some tipster services that I’ve looked at in the past.
What is the Initial Investment?
One thing that I will say about PGA Profit is that it isn’t cheap. Whilst an initial trial period of 15 days will set you back just £1.99 (plus VAT), subsequent months are rather pricey. Betting Gods are asking £47 per month. Whilst it isn’t prohibitive, it is definitely towards the top end of what I would expect to pay for a tipster service on a monthly basis.
Something that goes a long way on this front however is the fact that Betting Gods offer a no questions asked 30 day money back guarantee. This is offered on all of their products and PGA Profit is no different. Furthermore, it is backed up by Clickbank. This means that if you did sign up for Matt’s tips and found that this wasn’t for you, you aren’t going to be left out of pocket.
What is the Rate of Return?
Since December 2020, PGA Profit has produced a profit of about 440 points. Make no mistake about it, that is an incredibly strong result. Of course, that hasn’t been without its ups and downs. I’ve touched on the extent of that maximum drawdown. There have also been 4 losing months out of 10. Some of them really quite significant. By the same token, there are months that have seen profit of almost 200 points.
For some real context on this, there are a few numbers that I think are worth keeping in mind. Firstly, the ROI comes in at 53.41%. That is a hell of a number to have been maintained over the 10 months. Especially when you factor in those ups and downs. The other thing that stands out to me is that Matt has grown the betting bank for PGA Profit by over 200%.
Of course, whilst I am talking about all of this, I also have to acknowledge that it would be naïve to ignore the fact that the stakes do inflate the results a little. The average stake works out at a little over 3 points per bet. But I do feel like PGA Profit gets away with this to some degree. Not least of which is because whilst the stakes do inflate the results, they aren’t there to inflate them.
Conclusion for PGA Profit
There is bags of potential in golf betting. It’s just incredibly difficult to actually deliver on this. PGA Profit does however come pretty close to this. I don’t think there is any doubting that Matt knows his stuff. But if I’m really honest, the big appeal for me here isn’t entirely the profits. It’s the simplicity of it all.
There are a handful of bets that you need to place every week. You do them on a single day, and then you simply wait to see if you make a profit. There aren’t really that many tipster services that operate in that way. Of course, the astute amongst you will have noted that point about waiting to see if you make a profit. Because it’s a very real possibility that you won’t. And that is what will make or break PGA Profit in my opinion.
You see, it is quite clear that when things aren’t going well with PGA Profit, thinks can really not go well. This is demonstrated incredibly clearly when you look at the fact that there is that very significant drawdown. Now, if you can afford to ride this out, and if you’re following Matt’s advice properly, you should have a sufficient bank to do this, it isn’t a massive concern. But it takes a lot of discipline to ride out those losing streaks.
This is because when you start scratching the surface of PGA Profit, you see that it is still a solid looking service. Let’s start by addressing the profit inflation. Like I’ve said, I don’t think that Matt uses this approach simply to “make more money”. There is very definite rhyme and reason to the stakes. But how do they affect that profit and loss?
Well, looking at Betting Gods’ proofing, the average stake comes in at 3.18. If you were to factor everything down to level 1 point stakes, you’d be at 137.5 points of profit. Significantly less, yes, but still ultimately profitable. And I think that is very important to takeaway here. PGA Profit isn’t reliant on the stakes to be profitable. This is just a genuinely profitable service.
That doesn’t surprise me though. Before teaming with Betting Gods, Matt was still operating PGA Profit. Here he showed a pretty consistent historic profit too. The numbers aren’t quite what they have been this year, but they’ve still been solid. And that is a very good reason to pay attention here. Especially if you’re actually just in the market for a golf tipster service.
So, PGA Profit is really worth some consideration. It is hard to ignore the fact that it is on the pricey side. Both in terms of the stakes and the actual subscription fees, but you do get a pretty decent product for that. Really, this is exactly what I would personally want from a golf tipster service. Low involvement, potentially decent yields, and I don’t have to ever watch a game of golf to make a profit.
