Welcome to our "The Inside Man" review.
Introducing Adam Cheng, a former bookmaker who has been providing football tips at Bet Chat since 2020.
Adam offers bets on a mixture of football markets, including some of the major ones like Match Odds (home/draw/away), Over/Under Goals and Asian Handicap markets.
As well as the more popular markets, he also offers tips in some more niche betting markets such as Player Passes, Player Performance, Corners and Cards.
It makes for an interesting mix!

There is an issue in that these markets aren't as readily available and the tipster has noted that you will need a Bet365 account. If you don't have one, you can still bet on all of the selections in the main markets.

Our Results
For this tipster trial, we aimed for 200 bets as a minimum in order to be able to analyse results fairly.
Results include profit and loss at the odds the tipster provided, as well as odds that we could find at multiple bookmakers. An exception was made for bets that were only available at Bet365, as we were made aware that some markets weren't available elsewhere.
Results update
Initially, our plan for reviewing The Inside Man betting tips service was to track around 200 bets. Now, after over 10 months of observation and 213 bets recorded, where do we stand?
We're delighted to report a 52.5% increase to our bank, accompanied by a solid 7.18% return on investment.
This is a service that operates with a low starting bank of 30 points, so our profit of 15.76 points may seem modest, but in monetary terms, it is a respectable amount.
For instance, with a £1,500 starting bank and £50 stakes, we'd have pocketed £788 profit.
After deducting the annual membership fee of £399.97, that would leave us with £388.03.
While this amount may not be substantial, it's essential to note that this is based on flat staking.
Introducing alternative staking plans or just compounding stakes as the bank grows could amount to much more profit.
Everything went smoothly and we didn't have any trouble finding the advised odds. Also, thankfully, we didn't experience any major losing streaks.
The only issue we came across was that there were quite a few season bets sent out that will run until the end of the 2023–24 season. We added up the stakes for these, and a big chunk of our bank is still tied up.
We would say that allocating a separate bank for season bets would be a better way to go.
Other than that, it's top marks for The Inside Man.
