Hello and welcome to TLS! You may know us from such podcasts as Not The Top 20 - specifically the NTT20 Betting Show.
The Long Shot is an EFL betting newsletter from the hearts and minds of George Elek, Ali Maxwell and Nick Goff. The name comes from the long-range nature of our ante-post selections. Over our first two seasons, we have delivered 47.7% ROI. You can see the full list of our bets in our profit/loss lists for 23/24 and 24/25.
How does it work?
Our aim is simple: We’ll seek out value in the EFL season-long markets, posting only bets that will settle at the end of the season, using the prices from major bookmakers. This could be anything from an Outright selection to a treble across the leagues. We know that there is value to be exploited in these markets, and are confident we can exploit the inefficiencies.
Our method is simple: We’ll send at least one selection every Monday by email to paid subscribers on Substack, with a 1-5 point staking plan.
Our calendar is simple: We’ll be running Season 3 of TLS from 2 June until the play-offs in May—that’s a circa 50-episode season in 25/26.
Our prices are simple: it’s around a fiver a week—£20 per calendar month.
