As always, we had plenty of matches covered across a variety of competitions, while some of our tipsters landed some decent wins when covering rugby union, cricket and American Football.
With another busy month of sport to come in March, we review some of the best tips from February.

It’s Not All about the Beautiful Game
While the majority of February’s tips focused on football, there were still some decent winners in other sports around the world.
In American Football, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shocked the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. Those who read our preview piece will have seen Antonio Brown was mentioned as a potential anytime touchdown scorer at 23/10.
