Kieran Ward's Secrets To Finding & Betting Value

In the latest SBC Podcast I am joined by Kieran Ward, an experienced bettor and tipster who has been finding value for over 25 years!

Value is central to what Kieran does and his tipping services, including​The Value Machine​ and his newly formed The Value Machine Exchange Profits are both laser-focused on finding selections that are overpriced, whether that be with soft bookmakers or exchanges.

In this chat, Kieran and I walk through his history in the betting world, how his approach to gambling has changed over time and how he balances his own betting with running numerous successful services.

​SBC Magazine Issue #150​ also came up as Kieran and I discuss a new project where he and a fellow 'SBC Hall of Famer', Allan Darke, have married their approaches to create a superb new system that is accessible to all as it is exchange based.

Adapting, finding sustainable solutions and providing services that customers want is central to why Kieran is so popular - this chat showcases that perfectly!
