I dunno, if I thought I could make the same amount of cash risk free from running a tipping service than from doing the betting myself then I can see the attraction.
I would be interested to know what describes the average user of a tipping service. I suspect (though I have nothing to back this up) that the users of tipping lines etc are in general hoping to use it to make quick cash rather than as an angle to learn about racing, and would probably be better served by putting their £99/month into more important things.
I may be completely wrong about that - please inform me if that is the case.
OK. From now on. You back every selection they put up to recommended stakes and post them before the race on the thread I've set up and we'll see.
OK?
Surely this is different to 'using a tipping service'? I read the Racing Post/Weekender/etc, I read what the 'tipsters' have to say, I look at what people have said on here/Twitter/elsewhere/etc, I look at the form myself (most importantly), I then arrive at a judgement on all the available information.
I don't use any tipster service but I use information and other opinions to formulate my own. For example, I might read an interesting angle which I haven't seen and then research it further.
Apologies if I am barking up the wrong tree which is quite possible.![]()
Ron you come across very defensive about this.
Many sites (sportinglife/ATR to name but few) post tips on every race, and although they may not show a massive profit, they do tend to help with my selections on a horse race
No fun backing somebody else's choice. I get more satisfaction from being proven right than the money won.
