Has anyone had success as an affiliate tipster?

[Reality Punting]

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask the above question and see how I can perform better.
I offer a tipping service with a few affiliate links for NBA betting. My service is a paid service but I also offer a full refund to those who use my affiliate link and turn over X amount of money which results in myself making their service cost through my affiliate and I give them a full refund, therefore free tips.
whej I started this as my business, I thought that was a pretty good idea, but only 5% of my members
have taken me up on this offer and received a refund. My service costs $360 a season and members would rather pay cash and not get a refund. I would rather them keep the money in their own pockets, but I guess that's their choice, but can anyone give a good reason as to why that would be? I should also point out that my clients have turned over 5X the minimum amount (some 30X the amount)and all live in the region that is accepted by this broker legally.

my next question on is has anyone successfully run an affiliate tipster business using a free signup model?
im not talking about being a tipster that intentionally gives losing bets. I have close to 50% losing months but I generate 100%+ profit on starting capital each season. I think that has great potential but I know that affiliate tipsters are frowned upon because so many of them intentionally give losing tips.
I would love to hear people's thoughts or experiences on the topic.

thanks
Jason

Sorry, but that is a twisted logic.
Nobody gives away intentionally losing tips, because nobody gives a **** and that would mean that people know the winning tips, which is a nonsense. Generally all tips are losing for you, unless you are the bookie or unless you are betting the odds that exist for couple of seconds and then you are shown door very quickly.
People who can bet on value (which is better expression than winning tip, because again NOBODY knows winners, but we can see a good odds) simply bet as I used to for a decade and I am not able anymore because the lines are too sharp.

Tipping service is about getting traffic as anyone else and faking the results, so the idiots trust you. This is why there is the war against it after 2 decades.

When I said losing tips, I meant for example if I have a price rating of $1.80 on team A but I tell them to take team B at $1.90. This is very common for those "challenge" tipsters who tell people to start with $100 and turn it into $10k.
I believe they try to build the bank for a little bit but once their new affiliate month starts they intentionally try to lose it if they have a zero negative carry over affiliate program. I know this lead to the arrest of an Australian man a few years ago because he sent detailed information about his plan via phone and email, I'm not sure if he ended up being charged though. In terms of "faking" results, those who are legitimate get time stamped approval verification through third party sources who have a great reputation. I understand what you mean as a lot of people fake results but there are some good ways to become a trusted source.

It is all twisted logic, I can just repeat. If you have "winning tip" on 1.8, you can just bet on it; you do not need to persuade people to bet the opposite. People who have those "winning tips" do it (more accurately did it).

If you make only 100% per year, you are a millionaire soon, no need to hold back.

Sure, it is possible to sell tips at bookies who do not allow people to bet, like interwetten who are constantly off, because they are idiots; or SIA, who are smart. But then you are not selling tips, but bullsh1t. And from that is derived everything. I assume that might be the case in Australia for example, where all remaining bookies are a total joke.

I read this over and over again, but I do not understand it. Neither the problem nor the question.

Gee wiz, I'm not surprised at all you don't understand. I mean, the bookies lines are too sharp for you to profit from, that says enough for me.

Hey mate, thanks for the response! Just curious did you at any stage test or use a sign-up model? and if you did how different were the results?
Thanks ledge, I like your site! I'll check out your NBA content on the regular (Y)

Once upon a time I had my own private enterprise. But I did not have partners, I was one hostess. Maybe that's why my business fell apart ..
