What's an expert?
On Bet2Invest, an Expert (also called a tipster, capper or handicapper) is someone who shares a structured, data‑driven betting strategy through one or more public bankrolls so that others can follow it.
An Expert is not someone who just posts random bets or “locks of the day”. They are expected to think long term, manage variance, and treat betting like an investment process, not like gambling.
What an Expert is on Bet2Invest
An Expert on Bet2Invest:
Runs at least one tracked bankroll All bets are recorded inside a bankroll, with transparent history, certified odds, dates, and results.
Uses units, not random stakes Stakes are expressed in units, not in money, following our unit system. This avoids emotional over-staking and makes performance comparable across bankrolls.
Targets sharp markets with a real edge Experts try to beat efficient markets by finding small but consistent edges, often visible through CLV/CLEV and long‑term yield.
Thinks about market liquidity for followers In the best conditions, an Expert focuses on markets with enough liquidity so that followers can realistically obtain similar odds and stakes without excessively moving the lines.
Accepts variance and thinks in samples They understand that even with an edge, results can be negative for weeks or months. Their decisions are based on probabilities and long‑term performance, not on the last few bets.
Lets the numbers speak Their performance is evaluated through objective metrics (yield, CLV/CLEV, sample size, drawdown, liquidity, etc.), summarized later by our Rating System.
Some Experts are additionally labeled as Certified Experts (PROs), meaning they meet internal Bet2Invest quality and reliability criteria described in Requirements.
On Bet2Invest, “Expert”, “tipster”, and “capper” refer to the same role. We use Expert as the default term in the product and documentation.
What an Expert is not
To avoid unrealistic expectations, it is important to be clear about what an Expert is not:
Not a guarantee of profit Even the best Experts experience variance. Losing streaks and drawdowns are inevitable.
Not a financial advisor Experts share opinions and strategies about sports betting. They do not provide personalized financial advice.
Not above discipline Experts are expected to respect bankroll management and fixed‑unit staking just like followers. Chasing losses or manipulating stakes goes against the spirit of Bet2Invest.
If someone promises “guaranteed wins” or unrealistic returns, they are not acting as a Bet2Invest Expert, even if they call themselves a tipster elsewhere.
How Experts operate on Bet2Invest
They create and manage bankrolls Each strategy is tracked through a dedicated bankroll, which stores every pick with its odds, stake (in units), and result.
They publish tips via the Bet2Invest interface Experts enter their picks directly on a Bet2Invest screen that is similar to bookmaker interfaces. Odds and markets are taken live from Pinnacle, cannot be manually edited or faked, and once a tip is confirmed it becomes immutable in the history. Results are automatically graded and filled by Bet2Invest based on official outcomes, following Pinnacle betting rules.
They publish picks in real time Followers receive notifications and can choose to replicate the bets in their own accounts, either manually or using auto-betting if it is activated on their side (see What is Auto-betting?).
Bet2Invest tracks performance objectively Metrics like yield, CLV/CLEV, liquidity (AMB), maximum drawdown, and sample size are updated over time and can be analysed in How to Analyse Bankrolls?.
They are evaluated and rated Bet2Invest’s Rating System combines all major metrics into a single, easier‑to‑read score.
They may be included in curated offers The best and most scalable Experts can be selected into curated products like B2I One, so that users can follow a diversified group of Experts without having to choose each one manually.
What you should expect from an Expert
When you follow an Expert on Bet2Invest, you should expect:
Transparency – full, unedited history of picks and results.
Consistency – clear rules, fixed units, and a stable approach over time.
Realistic variance – swings up and down, including long losing streaks, are normal.
Long‑term focus – performance judged over hundreds or thousands of bets, not a few days.
Your role as a follower is to:
Respect your staking rules and avoid emotional changes.
Understand that variance is part of the journey, even with strong Experts.
Handled correctly, Experts give you access to professional‑level strategies and tracking, while you stay in control of your risk and decisions.
