Across the Leagues is a football analysis service with a difference: moving beyond short-priced match outcomes and headline market narratives.
Featuring weekly member emails, in-depth commentary, and a website packed with performance-focused statistics covering 18 leagues, the service highlights smart analytical angles, lesser-known data points, and areas of statistical interest throughout the season – including major international tournaments such as the European Championships and World Cups.
Ones to Watch is a unique members-only tennis research service focused exclusively on tournament outright markets.
The service concentrates on identifying emerging contenders and overlooked players at compelling market positions across the weekly ATP and WTA Tours, as well as at the four annual Grand Slams: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
Over the years, the analysis has spotlighted players at significant pre-tournament prices – including selections at 33/1, 50/1 and even 100/1 – reflecting the service’s emphasis on independent thinking and long-term pattern recognition.
Both services are written by our long-standing sports analyst, Oliver Upstone, who has been a core member of our team since 2005.
Oliver is a dedicated statistics specialist with a particular interest in under-recognised talent, emerging performance trends, and markets that reward deeper analysis. A lifelong sports enthusiast and self-confessed numbers enthusiast, he can often be found studying late-night tennis from overseas or tracking performance metrics across football fixtures throughout the week.
Over the years, Oliver has spent thousands of hours analysing form, statistical trends, and market behaviour. He provides detailed match and tournament previews, structured commentary, and data-led observations designed to challenge conventional thinking and broaden perspective.
His aim has always been to demonstrate that there is far more to evaluating sports markets than simply following popular sentiment – and to equip readers with the information and context needed to develop their own informed approach.
Follow Oliver’s Across the Leagues and Ones to Watch services, and you’ll be drawing on knowledge, experience, and analytical insight built over nearly two decades in the industry – alongside a loyal membership base that has followed his work year after year.
Against the Crowd is a specialist horse racing analysis service focused on identifying overlooked contenders in the most competitive races on the British racing calendar.
Particular attention is given to the valuable big-field handicaps run on the flat and over the jumps.
The emphasis is on uncovering well-handicapped horses whose profiles may be underestimated or under-analysed by the wider market.
Coverage includes the major weekend handicaps at leading tracks, as well as the key midweek Festivals throughout the year.
The objective is to provide structured, independent race analysis designed to highlight where market sentiment and detailed form study may diverge.
And it’s not just about selections.
Against the Crowd is delivered via email up to five times per week and includes big-race analysis alongside a consistent flow of angles, pointers, contextual insights, original research, performance data, and informed opinion.
The full Against the Crowd package is designed to help members develop their own informed perspective — something that can represent a meaningful advantage when evaluating complex race conditions.
It also aims to equip members with analytical tools, insights, and methods that support independent decision-making throughout the racing season.
Against the Crowd – first published in 2007 – is written by long-time analyst and contrarian punter Nick Pullen….
Nick eschews the spotlight, works alone, and keeps himself to himself….
You won’t see him on TV or in the pages of the mainstream racing press….
You won’t find him shouting and bawling on Twitter or doing interviews on podcasts and YouTube channels….
Nick’s all about the business – and the bottom line….
…. he’s just about the best-kept secret in the racing game – and has been for a number of years now….
…. something his exclusive band of loyal readers (many with 10+ years in the fold) very much appreciate….
