FAQ

Everything people ask before joining

Is Diary of a Pro Gambler legit?

The record answers that better than any sales copy could: every bet has been published for over 10 years — losses on the board next to wins. The UFC live record is on the UFC live betting page and the full football record is on the football results page. Once a bet is decided it stays on the board exactly as it landed — if the record ever went bad, it would be sitting right there for everyone to see. Judge it yourself before paying a cent.

How do I know the results are real?

Because they aren't screenshots — they're a living bet history. Football and prefight bets are posted before the event; every UFC live card's total goes on the board within 24 hours of the final fight. That habit has run for more than a decade (the site launched as MMABettingTips.com around 13 years ago). The curves at /football-results and on /ufc are rebuilt from every bet ever posted — the curve is the whole record, not a selection.

Can you really make money betting on sports?

Most people can't — bookmakers price a margin into every market, and the large majority of bettors lose over time. A small number of professionals sustain an edge in specific markets. Allsopp has bet on sports profitably for around 20 years and full-time for about 15, historically profitable in around 72% of months on UFC live betting and around 66% on football. But past performance guarantees nothing: never bet money you can't afford to lose, and check each service's record at /ufc and /football-results before you decide anything.

What is UFC live betting?

Betting on fights while they're happening, as the odds swing round by round. It's Allsopp's core specialism: reading a fight in real time and hitting prices the market has got wrong mid-fight. It's also a low-liquidity market where winning accounts get restricted fast — which is exactly why the bets are shared with a capped members' group instead of kept private. More on the service at /ufc.

How are tips delivered?

UFC live bets go out through a proprietary in-app notification system — faster than mobile push or Telegram — plus a sub-1-second live audio stream on fight night. Football tips are broadcast via Telegram. Every tip is also posted on the site with its result, win or lose.

What does membership cost?

Plans start at $19.99/month. Tiers range from community and research access up to full live-betting coverage of one sport or both. Every billing term and a full feature comparison are at /pricing, and you can cancel any time.

Is there a free trial?

Trials open periodically. When they're on, it's a full 30 days of access started from /free-trial — if that page sends you to pricing, trials are currently closed. Either way, plans start at $19.99/month at /pricing.

What's the difference between the tiers?

Entry tiers unlock the members' community, the bet tracker and the research tools; Elite adds written and video fight breakdowns plus prefight UFC tips. The Prime tiers each cover one live-betting sport — UFC or Football — at full depth, and Ultimate combines both for less than the two Primes separately. The full comparison table is at /pricing.

Do I need a betting exchange account for football?

It's the recommended route. Allsopp places the football bets through exchanges and brokers because they don't restrict winning accounts and accept much larger maximum stakes. You can follow with a regular bookmaker, but soft bookmakers tend to limit winning customers quickly — an exchange account is the sustainable way to follow the football tips long term.

Why is UFC Live Betting capped at 70 members?

Liquidity. The more people that try to place the same live bet at the same time, the faster the odds shorten and get suspended. Keeping the group small means everyone can actually get on Allsopp's live bets close to the price he takes — a bigger group would erode the very edge members join for.

Can I track my own bets on the site?

Yes. Paid members get a full bet tracker — singles, parlays, bankroll management and ROI analytics. And the betting calculators are free for everyone, no account needed.

Where does the fighter and odds data come from?

The research tool and fighter database are built from official and public sources — UFC's own published fight data and public stats sites — scraped and reconciled continuously so cards, bouts and fighter records stay current. Odds are tracked across major sportsbooks and snapshotted over time.

How do I cancel?

Any time, in a couple of clicks, from your account page. You keep full access until the end of the period you've already paid for — no phone calls, no retention flow, no questions asked.

Still weighing it up?

The fastest way to answer your own questions is the record itself: every bet ever posted, wins and losses both on the board.
