Ricky
Ortega – ‘The Godfather’
Ricky Ortega, the ‘Godfather’
of the Spanish football-betting
circuit and has made a fortune on
sports gambling. A flamboyant figure,
he has an uncanny ability to make
winning predictions based on his
unmatchable knowledge of the Spanish
and Italian football scene. His
heavy connections with important
figures in both these leagues also
ensure he gets the most accurate
and updated information for matches,
unavailable to most of the betting
public.
In a widely-publicized and followed
weekend betting campaign in Dec
1999, The Godfather won a total
of US$635,558 in that one single
weekend over 19 matches in the English
Premier League, Italian Serie A
and Primera Liga, one of the bets
being a 7-match parlay. Bookmakers
have not been particularly fond
of him since.
Mr Ortega has not made a secret
of his fortune made from sports
gambling. He is often seen zipping
around in Madrid in flashy cars.
The lavish parties he throws are
regularly attended by well-known
figures in the Spanish football
scene, including top players and
club officials. He is also an unlikely
art lover.
In July 2003, Mr Ortega joined Inner
Circle Inc as tipster and senior
technical adviser.

Ivan
Johnson
Ivan
Johnson is an expert in statistical
analysis and the mathematics of
gambling. A former Government Inspector
with the West Australian Government
when their first casino opened,
he has done extensive study on the
mathematics of the House Edge of
casinos and bookmakers. His specialty
in this area is especially useful
when calculating the motives of
the sportsbooks from match opening
odds. Mr Johnson has an
innate ability to turn football-betting
factors into mathematical formulas
to yield precise predictions each
time he makes a selection. Whilst
not as well-known as our other
two tipsters, he has quietly accumulated
a football-betting portfolio that
cannot be ignored.
Whilst our research team supports
him with the legwork, Mr Johnson
is actually the de facto leader
of the statistics department and
often opens up their eyes to new
ways of interpreting data. This
is impressive considering the
credentials of our research team.
The humorous Ivan Johnson joined
The Inner Circle board of tipsters
in Mar 2005.

Damien
White
Damien White is best known
in the top circles of the sports-betting
industry as the ‘Reader’
for his ability to see through all
the fluff. He has an intimate knowledge
both of the game and dynamics of
the football-betting market and
has served as a professional handicapper
and consultant for international
bookmakers in Europe and Asia. Mr
White has extensive contacts at all
levels of the football-betting industry,
including coaches, players, club
directors, international sportsbooks
and underground bookies in the Far
East.
Following a brief stint in the
real estate industry as a developer
after announcing his ‘retirement’
from betting football professionally
in 2003, Mr White is back to doing
what he does best – predicting
football match results.
Besides being intimately familiar
with all aspects of European football,
Damien White is naturally gifted
in spotting betting opportunities
where other ‘experts’
are unable to do so. Having spent
some time understanding the modus
operandi of betting syndicates
in Asia and the Far East, Mr White
favours releasing picks based
on Asian Handicap (although he
does give picks for Fixed Odds
Bets every now and then). His
advantage lies in understanding
how bookmakers use Asian Handicap
Odds to influence betting activity
through various ‘betting
cycles’. His betting tips
have been known to approach accuracy
rates of 80% over a season.
Damien White has a network of
contacts that pervades all levels
of the industry and joined The
Inner Circle as one of our senior
tipsters at its inception.

“Ingenious!
Combining a great research team
with the best individual professional
handicappers is a great idea and
you pulled it off! The icing on
the cake however, is your affiliate
program. Not only am I pulling in
money from my winnings from footy
but my commissions as an affiliate
is fast overtaking these winnings.
Double extra income! Pure genius.
Pure exhilaration. I am a fan and
member for life!
– John Parker, Middlesex

“I
have never bet on Confederation
Cup or International Friendly matches
before. …I never know how
to choose these matches. But when
your picks came on these matches,
I just placed bets on the match
as per normal because I’m
confident on you guys. Keep it up!”
- Tay Voon Chai, Singapore

“First
month, £680. Second month
£1600, I just ended my 3rd
month with a profit of £2,890.
I guess my stakes (and profits)
will continue to go up as my confidence
in your services increases. Thank
you very much! You are true professionals.”
