Identity and current service
Macca’s pinned X post links to Maccas Main Service on MyMembers. The checkout advertises private Telegram channels for props and a goalscorer model, with a separate Big Markets channel. Free X tips, the historical Beat The Odds service and collaborations should not be treated as one performance record. Pinned service link ↗
Subscription options checked on 16 October 2026
The displayed monthly Props + AGS package costs £49.99; Props alone costs £39.99. Longer commitments are offered. The selected £49.99 plan explicitly marks Big Markets as not included, despite the broader description mentioning it. Check the contents of the chosen plan rather than assuming every channel is bundled.
Limited public results transparency
We could not locate a complete public betting ledger to check the advertised returns. The sales page describes P/L sheets available to members, but prospective subscribers cannot readily assess the full history before paying from the public material we found. This is a transparency concern for a paid service advertising strong returns. It does not establish that no records exist or that results are fabricated. Whether followers can achieve the recorded prices and stakes also remains unverified.
Business interests and recommendations
His X bio identifies him as co-owner of MyMembers, the platform hosting his service. On 21 April 2026 he recommended OddsNotifier for monitoring Pinnacle movements and disclosed referral commission. We have not independently established ownership of OddsNotifier.
What is publicly visible?
Separate model claims
The current sales page advertises different ROI figures for Big Markets, goalscorers and props, plus a multi-year profit claim. We have not reconciled the underlying selections, dates, stakes, amendments or subscription fees. Those promotional figures are not presented here as audited results.
Historical results coverage exists
Bet Experts’ Beat The Odds review is dated 17 February 2022 but contains later season and monthly tables, including losing months. It concerns a service involving Macca and other tipsters. Its date and service scope should not be read as a current personal football record for Macca.
What would close the evidence gap
A current export for each model, including every win, loss and void, original release times, advised and minimum prices, stake sizes and fees. A second set of accepted subscriber prices would show whether reported returns survive real execution. A Telegram delivery channel alone neither proves nor disproves transparency.
Can followers get the prices?
A concrete public price comparison
On 21 April 2026, Macca posted an Enzo Fernández shot-on-target selection with prices ranging from 1.83 at Bet365 and several other books to 2.15 at Kambi, also quoting 1.92 on Betfair Exchange. This shows that the account a follower can use matters. It also rules out describing all his public tips as soft-book-only. We did not independently capture the market or verify accepted stakes.
Restrictions: his own comments
On 26 April 2026, responding to Caan Berry’s post about bookmaker restrictions, Macca criticised restrictions on Premier League match odds while saying he understood them for props and early prices. This is his general view of bookmaker behaviour, not a measurement of how long his subscribers’ accounts last.
A £1 limit report needs its context
On 11 June 2026, Tommys Model Bets reported a £1 maximum in reply to Macca’s post about a Bet365 World Cup boost. The parent post itself discussed different account limits. This is a self-reported restriction on a promotional offer, not evidence that Macca’s paid subscribers generally receive £1 limits.
Early bets can tie up funds
The historical Bet Experts review praises the service but says some bets were placed seven or more days ahead. That is historical reporting, not a current timing commitment. We have not established a universal minimum-price policy or a measured delay-to-price-drop window for the current models.
Opening liquidity: what the discussion establishes
On 21 April 2026, Macca described opening prices as a low-liquidity stage with more volatile movements. In the related thread, @Captain__Bet challenged how broadly he described Pinnacle’s available stakes, while other replies supported or disputed his market explanation. This is a public disagreement about market mechanics, not a verified report that his subscribers could not place his selections. We have not established that his paid service only tips opening prices or merely copies Pinnacle.

Free Oddschecker selections
His 6 December 2025 Oddschecker column lists football props at Bet365, Coral and Ladbrokes, with player statistics and matchup reasoning. It provides dated examples of retail-bookmaker selections, but no evidence of accepted subscriber stakes or how long the prices remained available. These free articles are separate from the paid Telegram models.
Assessment
Bookmaker eligibility, available stakes, timing and the price actually accepted are essential checks before treating model returns as reproducible. The material inspected does not establish typical subscriber profit or prove the service unsustainable.
Positive feedback, with limited verification
A named customer testimonial
Pedro Pinto’s five-star review on the sales page is dated 20 January 2025. He describes three years with the service, profitable experience and helpful discussion in the community chat. This is a testimonial hosted on the service’s checkout, not an independent reconciliation of his bets or an established subscriber outcome.
Historical editorial praise
Bet Experts says its reviewer followed Beat The Odds over several seasons and gives a favourable assessment. The same page flags early staking and automatic renewal. It is historical editorial coverage, not a current controlled test of Macca’s advertised prices.
Other review listings
Betting Kingdom praises Macca’s service but displayed zero reader reviews when checked. Its percentage is an editorial score, not a customer rating. Whop displayed two five-star ratings, but individual review text was not available in the retrieved page; we have not treated those stars as verified subscriber evidence.
X and Reddit search limits
Signed-in X searches used the exact handle, spaced service names and record/price terms; original parent posts were inspected. Unrelated James McCoy accounts were excluded. Targeted Reddit searches did not surface a substantive identifiable subscriber review in the results examined. This is limited coverage, not proof that no reviews exist.
