Real name: Dan Horvat

Tipster nickname: Cafa

Age: 28

Country: Croatia

Sports/leagues he covers: "Croatian football league. Sometimes I include European matches of Croatian clubs, Croatian cup and international matches, but only when I'm confident about those. I prefer not to go too far astray from the competition I know the best."

Experience: "64% wins during my 2-season career on Bettingadvice, and an 18-game winning streak along the way. I have won several tipster contests for fun. Had a betting blog, but I think it was cursed and I didn't have any success there. I also had a website with picks, it was very popular but not profitable to maintain, and I produced around 120% yield there. I have tried betting on Asian handicaps only, with flat stakes, for three months, and I produced over 125% yield. I have a Croatian website soon to be translated to English, and for a year now I'm writing a big book about betting which should cover all aspects of betting in general and in detail. I have worked and am still working on several jobs in the betting industry, so I know the other side of the mirror as well. I'm a certified manager, and my areas of expertise are marketing and human resources."

Money management used: "I believe the best way to go is to define 2% of the bank as the maximum bet, or/and use Kelly criterion to decide the stake. For tipstering purposes I use 1-10 stake system, depending on the value only, although when I bet I don't use any MM at all. I just make big bets on singles, and after winning I make a small bet on a combo ticket with huge potential winnings."

Definition of betting: "Should be an investment which gives a monster ROI, much more than stocks or any other business venture. But psychology is involved and therefore people are making bad decisions. Only the best ones can win, although the entire thing should be simple."

The bet of his life: "18.00 on Golden State Warriors to kick Dallas Mavericks out of the playoffs. It's especially good because I posted it on an American forum, and explained exactly why GSW will win. But I believe the long run is important, one match is pretty much irrelevant."

Favourite team: "Dinamo Zagreb. The one and only. Although I will not hesitate to bet against them, as they're a team I know the best - and I do take advantage of that fact. "

Motto: ""One who hasn't given all, has given nothing." - Georges Guynemer"
