If you're honesty trying to build a system that can sustain a long term edge over the most highly informed soccer betting markets then you're trying something so difficult that I'd suggest the likely rewards from selling your services aren't worth the effort. Please don't underestimate how difficult that would be as a one man band. The skills required to do it would find richer rewards elsewhere.
Tipping services are actually more about marketing than results. Most aren't profitable based on backing the selections but they make money for a while by selling the dream and by the time the punter is realising the tips aren't profitable the company is onto a dazzling new product with the same dream worded differently.
The reality is if anyone produces such a system that is profitable they are in most cases much better off keeping it to themselves or a few select investors rather than selling it to the market. Once it gets sold if it does happen to produce a consistent edge that rapidly gets taken up by the new money backing the selections, and it's a fair bet someone buying them will be either ballsy or crazy enough they'll be betting amounts that make that edge disappear rapidly.
So that suggests option 1 over option 2. The thing is if you don't have betting experience are you really sure you want to go down the road of taking the battering that can come with the ups and downs given you'll be getting pressure from the people whose money you're winning or losing? People will love you when you make them $$$, and turn on you when it loses. The vast majority of people will lose their nerve very quickly in that situation.
Of course it's possible you could find a specific little niche your betting system may work for but by taking it down to that level it means the process of your buyers eliminating the edge only speeds up. Or with option 1 the potential returns are lower and harder to maintain due to getting less money on and finding fewer places to bet.
There's also the issue that most of the biggest betting companies happily exclude winning accounts because they aren't particularly fond of people winning money off them. So any of your customers who mine gold too well using your info find their mining permits getting revoked at which point they don't have much incentive to stay your customers.
