About Sipho

Sipho built the scoring model used to rank operators on Tips. He tracks odds movements, payout speeds, and market coverage across all 44 licensed bookmakers. He maintains the calculators and data tools.

The Tips scoring model was developed by Sipho after analysing over 2,000 individual operator data points across the South African market. The model weights seven categories, with licensing and payout reliability carrying the most weight. He reviews and updates the model quarterly as new data comes in.

Sipho monitors odds across SA bookmakers daily using a standardised basket of markets: Premier League, PSL, Springboks, and Proteas. His margin analysis guides show bettors exactly how much the house edge differs between operators on common bet types.
