ShootingBets is a new betting service from Betaminic, a platform best known for its large database of sports statistics, historical odds, and betting tools.
While Betaminic users may already be familiar with products like Betaminic Builder, Betlamp, and the statistics pages, ShootingBets is very different from anything they have offered before.
This review explains what ShootingBets is and how it works.
How ShootingBets Works
The service operates on the principle of market lag. It monitors Pinnacle, widely considered the “sharpest” bookmaker in the world. When Pinnacle’s odds drop significantly on a selection, it indicates a shift in the “true” market price.
Because “soft” bookmakers (like Bet365, William Hill, or Ladbrokes) often take several minutes to adjust their own lines, ShootingBets identifies that window of opportunity. You are essentially betting at “old” prices (e.g., 1.50) for an outcome that the sharp market has already decided is actually worth 1.30.
The Strategy in Action:
- The Drop: Pinnacle drops the odds on a team from 1.50 to 1.30.
- The Alert: Shooting Bets detects this move immediately.
- The Window: For a short period (often a couple of minutes), soft bookmakers may still have the old price of 1.50 available.
- The Value: By betting at 1.50 when the true market price is 1.30, you secure a mathematical edge over the house.
Shootingbets Telegram Alerts
The service operates entirely via a Telegram channel, sending alerts for Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, Volleyball, and Handball. Each alert contains specific data points crucial for execution:
- The “Absolute” Minimum Odds
Every alert comes with a minimum odds price. This is not a suggestion; it is a hard limit. The mathematical value exists only above this price. If you arrive at your bookmaker and the odds are lower than this figure, do not bet. The value is gone.
- The “Green Tick” Indicator
To help with speed, the system automatically checks Bet365:
- ✅ Green Tick: The value odds were likely available on Bet365 at the moment of the alert.
- ❌ Red Cross: Bet365 has likely already dropped their odds (check other bookies if the recommended odds are available).
- No Symbol: The market wasn’t found on Bet365 (requires a manual search on different bookmakers).
- Alternative Markets
Often, specific handicaps (e.g., Basketball -7.5) might be missing from your bookie. The alerts frequently provide minimum odds for alternative lines (e.g., -6.5 or -8.5), giving you multiple ways to enter the market.
Based on the historical results, you can expect a high volume of alerts, though they are heavily influenced by the global sports calendar. On average, you should receive 30-40 alerts per day.
ShootingBets Results
The results for ShootingBets provide a compelling statistical backbone for the service, demonstrating high consistency and a significant historical edge. Unlike typical betting systems that rely on small sample sizes, Shooting Bets boasts a massive database of over 26,000 bets, making its performance data statistically robust.
The performance metrics are based on the official results page.
A yield of over 11% across nearly 27,000 bets is exceptional in the sports betting world. For context, most professional bettors aim for a 3–5% yield over the long term. This high ROI suggests that the “market lag” identified between Pinnacle and soft bookmakers is a deep and repeatable inefficiency.
How Results are Calculated
It is important to understand the transparency of these figures:
- Bookmaker Reference: Results are calculated using Bet365 odds at the time the alert is triggered.
- The “Value Only” Rule: A pick is only added to the official results page if the Bet365 odds are above the recommended minimum odds at the time of the alert.
Despite the upward-trending graph, the results show natural variance. Analysis of the data shows a maximum drawdown of approximately -17 points on level stakes.
Monte Carlo simulations (1,000 shuffles of the data) have shown a 0% bankruptcy risk when using a disciplined 3-5% staking plan, highlighting the long-term stability of the system.
ShootingBets Pros & Cons
Pros:
- High Yield Potential: reported ~11% yield over 26,000 bets.
- Proven Concept: “Following the sharps” (Pinnacle) is a mathematically sound strategy.
- High Volume: Alerts run constantly, especially on weekends, allowing you to pick hours that suit you.
- Free Trial: Offers a free version with limited alerts to test the workflow.
Cons:
- Time Sensitive: You must act immediately when an alert comes in; it cannot be fully automated like previous tools.
- Account Risk: High risk of getting limited/banned by soft bookies (Bet365, etc.).
ShootingBets Pricing
One of the most user-friendly aspects of ShootingBets is that you can start without any financial commitment.
Unlike many services that offer a 7-day trial and then cut you off, ShootingBets provides a free tier that remains active as long as you need it. You receive a small selection of real-time alerts each day. This is enough to get a feel for the “speed game” and verify the odds drops yourself.
When you are ready to scale your profits, the paid plan removes the bottleneck. You gain access to the full firehose of data—up to 100+ alerts on busy weekend days.
Advanced Strategies: Survival & Profit
Because this method involves consistently beating the closing line, it comes with risks—specifically, account restrictions. Relying on a single bookmaker is a fast track to getting banned.
Don’t rely on one bookie. Open accounts with multiple soft bookmakers (William Hill, Unibet, Ladbrokes, etc.).
You can rotate your bets. Do not hammer the same bookmaker with every single alert.

The Exchange Backup Plan
If you miss the price on the soft bookies, you can turn to a betting exchange like Betfair.
- Check the Minimum Odds from the alert.
- Calculate your Commission (e.g., 2% to 5%).
- Place an Unmatched Bet (an offer) on the exchange that accounts for your commission.
Since the market is trending in that direction, there is a strong chance your offer will be matched by a slower bot or player, allowing you to capture value even after the soft bookies have corrected.
Final Verdict
The ShootingBets results prove that you don’t need to “predict” winners to make money.
By consistently betting at prices higher than the sharp market’s closing price, the math eventually takes over. The sheer volume of tracked bets provides a level of confidence that this isn’t just a “hot streak,” but a legitimate exploitation of how soft bookmakers manage their lines.
