Is it possible to get REAL information from Horse Racing Tipsters >?

Question

Most I have dealt with have been con. artists. Some ask for Odds for winners (placing money for them). I have been told these rogues give DIFFERENT horses to callers - thereby ensuring a winner. Who can we trust ? Many say they are Ex Jockeys. Valets. Assistant Trainers. Work Watchers. Work Riders. Stable Lads. H E L P !!!!!!!

Answer 1

The internet has had a dramatic effect on the ability of touts and tipsters to give different selections to different clients. The giveaway is a restricted channel--telephone or email. If the tipster emails choices, or only gives selections close to post time by telephone, you can almost guarantee that different choices are going to different people.

In contrast, some selection services post race projections online--everyone gets the same selections, because all subscribers log in to the same area.

Verification is easy, if you have multiple email addresses. Log in, print the selections, log in later and print the selections again. If they are different (aside from late scratches), you can assume chicanery is involved.

On the other hand, if Client A gets exactly the same selections as Client B, you can assume that the operation is more honest. Most useful are sites that routinely provide lists of recent winners; unless the posted winners match the pre-race selections provided, suspect the worst.

If you visit online handicapping forums, you will quickly realize that the results of the predictions are never posted--except in the rare case of "we had that one!" for one race (out of the hundred or more races posted).

Best bet; pick a service that posts the selections online, in a printable or downloadable format, and check the results after the races for a few days.

Some services are actually profitable;

The short answer is NO. Tipsters (Touting) make money on the side to cover their own losing bets. Here's how to be a tipster:
Let's say it's an eight horse field. Give each sucker, I mean client, a different horse to choose in the race. Obviously only one will win (barring a dead head, of course), so there will be seven not so happy people and one will think that you're a genius.
You will get one or two repeat customers, not to shabby if you do this for several races a day. There are too many variables in
handicapping, and all too often a "throwout" wins, that's why they call it gambling.
I know trainers and drivers (harness racing) that know
inside information lose much money on a race. Why would you think that people not directly involved in the industry would know any better?
Sharpen you own handicapping skills and beware of people selling "systems" too.

The grooms are the ones who know the horses better than anyone. They are the ones who are literally with the runners 24/7/365.

I don't know what tracks you wager on, but check out - for North America - Picks and Plays, which gives out a free card each day to go along with services that are offered through subscriptions.

Looking forward to it Mr Bookie. Cheers for running it. Rhyme N' Reason - the jammiest winner since Foinavon. Spreadeagled on the floor at Becher's first time, Strands Of Gold going best of all when falling at Becher's second time and then poor old Durham Edition not getting home after the last!
