Tipsters and Free Tips

Todays Tips = If You Fancy

I haven't posted here in eighteen months although I'm still betting and making a reasonable profit, but my betting strategy is based on what's happening in the moment on horses, liking names and gut feeling. Longer term forecasts can't be really trusted from me, although I'm on a free daily tip list from  FreeRacingTips and their premium tips generally win and pay for drinks and takeaways.

Last week I had my normal bet but two names stood out for me one was "Beautiful Ben" a 7/1 longest price in a seven horse race , no chance, and "Little Robin" cos my friend's son is called Robin a 5/1 second favourite the first won at 8/1 and the second at 5/1 along with another that came second at 4/1 which resulted in a £50 return for a completely unresearched bet.

If you click on the tips pic you get a free sign up offer from Betfair.




I've subscribed to others who promise the earth, demand subscription fees and if you do sign up all of a sudden they have a "bad run". Most of these tipsters I think make a small killing from subscriptions rather than their own tips.

I also do football bets based on over 1.5 or 2.5 goals in games , usually 4/3 perms at 50p or 5/4/3 perms at 20p.

Todays bet is 3 x 60p singles and a 40p e/w trixie , my normal daily bet, which you could try as a freebie on Betfair if you are not a member. These are all names I like, one is a favourite, one is a second favourite and one gets a good review.

This could be my last post on here for a while unless that one comes in. Have a good day.

You Never See A Poor Bookie

In January 2015 I took redundancy , and kept busy at Geek Talent and Oxfam before landing a new job. I still had a decent chuck of reduncy money left and thought I would indulge myself on paying for horse racing tips. Basically the advice was that you bet 10% of your pot and you make lots of money ..... so they say. Anyway the cost of this tipster was £100 a month, but I set aside £500 to play with and if I lost it then it would stop. The cost of the tips was factored into my trial , but the advertised earnings looked too good to be true.

The first few weeks went fairly well and at one point I was £300 in profit , but then things started to fall apart. One of the problems was that the tips were at odds of evens or less, which meant if you lost a bet then it would take two more wins to get back on track (this is one one bet a day). The other thing is that you need to bet at least £50 at those odds to have a reasonable return. Anyway they seemed to be getting more desperate but tempted me back with one final month for £50. The first week seemed to be back on track then back to the usual failures. At this point including the £250 I'd paid for the service I was £350 down on the trial , so hadn't hit the £500 loss limit I had set myself.

Then I found FreeRacingTips


These lot actually give away a free each way tip every day (today's lost) , but have a few plans for £9 a month , which is very reasonable., so I decided to give these lot a try, to see if I could actually make a go of this. I went for their lucky 15 , which is a combination of four bets , and I do a bit of rearranging , but  you can do this with  small outlay. Anyway I've been using them for about three weeks now and had a lot of days where I've got nothing but some days with good returns. My bets are around £25 a day, and I promised I would right a review of their service if they took me back into profit. Well it's been creeping up very slowly but going in the right direction. Last week on two days I got £100  and another couple of days had £20 - £30. Yesterday I took £100  , then today three bets have won , which was looking good, but went on to Betfair to see how it was going and had an option to cash out with the final horse remaining - my cash out option was £300. I didn't have to think about that one as that has taken my betting trial well into profit.

The beauty of these guys is that their tips, when they win, bring is a good return. That means your bets are smaller , so when you do lose, which you will do , more often than not, it doesn't really bother you, because the wins pay excellent returns. I've corresponded with them and they seem really good people. If you combine them with a Betfair account then it's possible to make a bit of money on the side.

Just remember that as soon as you make a bet it's in the bookies pocket, and never bet what you can't afford to throw away.

Free Tips For 26/1/2017

I missed today, probably a good thing given my recent performance, but I will turn this around, as I said at the beginning using my own tips I am well in profit over the last 12 months. There are a lot of tipsters who charge a fortune for their tips which would be fine if they were guaranteed, but I've not seen one that lives up to it's claims apart from maybe Free Racing Tips who have returned a decent profit for a reasonable outlay for me.

Also Betfair have decided I can advertise for them, they are good because you get a permanent best odds guaranteed and they give you a decent starting offer as well., if you don't have an account they are worth signing up with.

Sometimes it's good to look at what horse are "steamers" odds shortening close to the race, again sometimes this works sometimes not.

So here are my educated guesses for tomorrow my friends, I'll update the story so far with Friday's tips.

Tips For 26/1/2017

Free Tips Tips For 22/1/2017

Two winners and a place today , although prices had shortened from 9/4 to 4/5 for Neon Wolf and from 15/8 to evens for Seven Clans that came second, so based on early prices £10.50 back from a £5 bet. Always try and get Best Odds Guaranteed (Betfair do that permanently).

Anyway Haydock is abandoned tomorrow so I've taken three from the Fakenham card.

As I say I know nothing about racing and horses are  the only animals that actually bite me, but I am ok with figures and working out probabilities from data.

So here are tomorrows tips:

Hope we can hit all three
