We are all about accountability at SportsTips, ensuring we provide our followers with the best available picks and continue to predict winners! This report allows you to see our results for June and bet with confidence, knowing SportsTips have you covered. 

Firstly, for those that aren’t aware, we offer both free and Premium Picks for all the sports you care about, every day. For the NBA, we offer a free moneyline pick for the best games every day, and then restrict spread, total points and exotics to our premium service. 

With the Playoffs running for the entire month, we have broken our picks down into each round of the Playoffs – Opening Round, Conference Semifinals and Conference Finals, and then provided an overall analysis.  

Playoffs – Opening Round

After an extremely successful May, the pressure was on to hit bets from the jump in June and that is exactly what we did. With just 11 Opening Round games at the start of June, with the first 32 being played in May, we only had a small window to make an impact.

Our free moneyline picks went an incredible 9-2 over this stretch, hitting with a strike rate of 81.8%. This accuracy allowed followers to bring in a massive profit of $335.94, for a $100 bettor. 

When looking at our Premium Picks, which include both spread and total points predictions, our strike rate took a small dip but overall profit increased. Our spread picks went 6-5, which is far below our expectations, but still managed to bring in $45.46. Our total points picks is where the big cash came in, going 8-2 with a 72.7% strike rate for a $427.28 profit, for a $100 bettor.

Overall our Premium Picks went 14-8 for the 11 Opening Round Playoff games in June, bringing our premium service followers a $472.74 profit from just 11 games across five days of betting.

Overall Total23-100.697$808.68

A big KPI for us is getting all three picks for a single game correct. That is correctly predicting the moneyline, spread and total points markets for each individual game that we analyse. Out of the 11 Opening Round games that occurred in June, we correctly predicted all three markets in four games, a 36.4% strike rate!

Overall we had a very successful Opening Round of the Playoffs in June. As mentioned, there were just 11 games across five days of betting yet we still managed to bring in a whopping $808.68 profit, for a $100 bettor. We went 23-10 overall for a strike rate of 69.7%, giving us great confidence and momentum heading into the Conference Semifinals.

Playoffs – Conference Semifinals

Much like the teams that advanced through the opening round of the playoffs, our tips were beginning to build some momentum. The four different Playoff series saw 24 games being played, giving us plenty of opportunity to make some profit for our followers and that is exactly what we did. 

Our free moneyline picks went an impressive 15-9, but due to the nature of the odds, only saw a profit of $70.19 for a $100 bettor. While it is still great to see positive returns, we expect to be bringing in a bit more of an overall profit. 

Thanks to our Premium Picks, we were able to do that! Our total points picks went just 13-11 and brought in $81.83 profit, but we saw a massive uptick in our spread picks. A massive 12 game streak of hitting our spread picks to end the Conference Semifinals saw our overall record for our spread picks reach 19-5. This incredible record and good form of picks saw us bring in a massive $1,227.29 profit from our spread picks alone, with our Premium Picks bringing in a total of $1,309.12.

Overall Total47-250.653$1,379.31

While in terms of our KPI we only hit all three markets in five of 24 games, our incredible spread picks allowed us to bring in a massive overall profit across the Conference Semifinals. For our lucky followers that had access to our free and premium picks, they got access to 72 total picks that went 47-25 and brought in a profit of $1,379.31. 

Playoffs – Conference Finals

Following on from a very profitable round of the playoffs previously, our Conference Finals picks didn’t perform quite as good as we would have liked, however still bringing in a net positive overall. 

Our free moneyline picks for the 10 Conference Finals games in June finished with a 7-3 record and brought in $158.17 for our followers, assuming they are $100 bettors. Hitting on 70% of our picks is a massive positive and a sign that the money will soon follow. 

In our Premium Picks, we went just 11-9 overall, bringing in a profit of $100.01 across both spread and total points picks. When breaking this down, our 5-5 total points picks meant that we saw a loss of $45.45 however our 6-4 record in our spread picks allowed us to get back into positives with a $145.46 profit.

Total Points Picks5-50.500-$45.45
Sum – Premium Picks11-90.550$100.01
FREE Moneyline Picks7-30.700$158.17
Overall Total18-120.600$258.18

Given the close odds, and spreads, during the Conference Finals, we were only able to hit our KPI on two out of 10 games to finish the month. While this is lower than expected and our picks didn’t hit at the rate we hoped and expected, it was good to still bring in an overall profit of $258.18 across the 10 games. 

Overall Month

For the month of June, across all rounds of the playoffs and both our free and premium picks, our picks went at a 65.2% strike rate, going 88-47 overall. This allowed us to bring in a massive $2,446.17 profit across the entire month, rewarding those who continue to follow us. 

When breaking this down, our free moneyline picks went 31-14, an accuracy of 68.9%. Once again, given the nature of moneyline odds and some heavy favorites throughout the playoffs, our overall profit wasn’t as high as you might think for such a high strike rate, but was still a modest $564.30.

Where the big bucks came in was our Premium Picks, specifically our spread picks. We went 31-14 in our spread picks as well, but given their even odds that record brought in a massive profit of $1,418.21 across the month. Combine that with our total points picks, that went 26-19 for a profit of $463.66, and our Premium Picks combined for a 57-33 record, 63.3% strike rate and massive $1,881.87 profit. 

After a very successful May, we are delighted that our June picks were still reaching such heights and bringing in great profits. Now to focus in on the last remaining picks of the Conference Finals and hit our NBA Finals out of the ballpark for some more profits in July!
