Horse racing is probably the first sport most people think of when they think gambling. It’s been in our DNA for centuries and it’s a huge business. Sadly not as big as it once was with racecourses struggling to attract the punters like it did in the past, but in the modern era, punters have much easier access to placing bets, meaning the bookmakers turnover remains astronomical.

Given it’s popularity the number of horse racing tipsters is huge. I’m slowly chipping away and trying to complete a comprehensive guide to the best and worst racing tipsters out there. I’ve created a rating system which takes into account different factors which you should be considering when searching for the right racing tipster for you.

Profitability

There’s no hiding place for tipsters, or at least there shouldn’t be, when it comes to profit and loss. It’s the most important statistic when deciding who’s advice to follow and which tipsters to ignore. If you can’t find the profit & ROI of a tipster, then my advice is stay clear. There’s generally a reason why they choose to hide their profit (most likely a loss) and that’s enough to raise a red flag. All the tipsters I rank are scored for profitability and it’s the most important statistic to contribute to the overall rating.

Punter Reviews

It’s impossible for me as an individual to follow and track the bets of a large number of horse racing tipsters. Trust me I tried. It was very challenging. So instead I’ve open up the option for punters to login and leave reviews of their own. If you’ve followed any of the horse racing tipsters listed on this site then sign up today and leave your opinion. It will help other punters make smart choices and contribute to the tipsters overall BK Rating.

Odds Availability 

This has become a huge problem in recent years and often racing tipsters ignore the issue by snapping up early prices the night before races take place. Whilst this can result in some impressive stats for the tipster, it’s likely their followers will be left frustrated as prices will change too quickly, making it difficult to get a bet on.

Longevity

You might find a tipster boasting impressive stats and ROI in excess of 20%. At first that can very tempting but it’s important to take a look at how long they’ve been tipping. If you took 1000 people who had absolutely no idea about horse racing to pick a horse each day, the chances are a handful of them would actually make a decent profit across the first 100 selections. That’s just probability. So is that tipster you’ve been drawn into follow one of those lucky few? Or have they been around for long enough to trust their stats. A good sample size is 1000 tips.

Affordability

The price of some of the tipster services today is huge. I’ve seen tipsters asking as much as £149 a month. That’s ridiculous. Some of the best horse racing tipsters work for publications meaning you can receive their tips for free. So the more expensive a tipster service costs, the lower their affordability ranking is likely to be on Betting Kingdom.

Analysis

Seen as the least important aspect in my rankings because if a tipster returns a healthy profit, do we as punters really care if they provided in depth analysis of their picks? I know when I was following a lot of tipsters I just didn’t have the time to read the previews. It does offer confidence that the tipster has done their homework and knows what they are talking about though.
