Every red top paper employs a couple of tipsters each day to give a tip in each race. Even the Racing Post does it with Spotlight etc. Over the last couple of days Ive noted 66 tips by them. Only 9 won (13.6%) producing a loss of 32.65 points. Out of 35 tips that were over 4/1, only one won (9/2). Out of 9 tips below 2/1 only 2 won (5/4, 15/8) Why do newspapers give a wage to 2 of them each day, when surely 1 is enough ?

Well, two presumably doubles the paper's chance of a winner and allows sickness and holiday cover, especially if the tipsterers are writing copy anyway.
That pre-supposes that all the tipsterers are flesh and blood rather than 1990s-era AI.

It is to encourage people to bet. Bookmaker adverts.
Peter O’Sullivan 3 cross is responsible for my downfall….enjoying every minute tho….
Never once taken a blind bit of notice of them. I prefer to make my own selections and cannot understand why any proper punter would do otherwise.
some tipsters usually pick for the differrent pseudonyms so have a couple of selections in same races running for them.
Majority are naive gullible and clueless. Just lay their "tips" and your profits will soar. Simple as.
All papers the same, different tea boy picks them every day. If you could guarantee it was the same useless fcuker every day you could lay them and it would be a goldmine.
Dave **** often has to find out who he's tipped when on live TV.
To me it is obvious why a paper would have a tipster.
Racing is all about opinions and finding winners.
So if a paper has a racing page, why not have a man/woman giving a view.

the point is brandy, their view is absolutely useless for finding winners , -39 the last 3 days and thats at betfair lay odds, and each paper employs TWO of them to give a tip each race. One tipster should suffice.
58 tipsters in racing post naps league
£100 on all their naps this season, you would be down £79,975
those are their best bets. you wouldn't want to be having a ton on their worst.

I don’t think many people slavishly follow tipsters,but it would seem strange if the racing guy didn’t offer up a selection,so it’s just part of the info.
Hollies today,,on the opening show tipped something at Newcastle,which seems stupid,surely anyone on itv racing offering a selection should pick a horse in a race that’s on their coverage.
It might seem clever or well researched,but the program is about the main races that day,so surely their naps,charity bets should be in a race that they are showing.
They may aswell tip an Argentinian u 21s football bet,if they’re tipping at the 5th meeting,2 hours after they ve gone off air.
You could argue they should select one in the main race of the day,

A few years ago the horse racing tipster from the Yorkshire Post was excellent when
giving out selections from 'spittin' Micks yard.
He was related to the family.

3 winners on the list today, 11/2, 9/2 and 2/1, but they lost just over 2 points between them
Tame,but if someone is going to the races for a day out,knows nothing about racing,getting 3 winners and being 2 points down is great.
They ve cheered home a winner,and not blown all their money.
This sort of proves why paper tipsters should exsist.

youve already been taken for a mug by buying the paper so dont complain when treated as such
Part and parcel of the game they belong to horse racing as much as anyone else tbh….
60s & 70s they were very popular with most punters tbf…..the list is endless of good judges down the years tbh…

7 winners today, but still lost over 5 points at freely available betfair lay prices.
It will even out in the long run. Lay the next 100 and suddenly your bank will drop by 30%.
.... Talking about useless Tipsters and "Hey Presto" .. They appear.
Cayton in the morning star was great for the comrades usually 2 winning naps per year always over double carpet though.
Yes Cayton evening before coming out of Harringay dogs and the Morning Star sellers were out there in the street.
A bit hard to read even with zoom so another try
6th Information.
How many of the pro-gamblers over the years have relied on it?
Plenty I reckon.
I wonder how Cayton would fare today?

I still remember Beech Road. I thought, then, it was barmy; the only positive was his trainer, a Mr Balding.
7 days. 27 winners from 193 runners. (14%) . 56 points lost at betfair lay odds inc comm. including 3 winners at 7/1 which grab the headlines the next day
you must be backing the ones i dont lay. could be another angle to add to the pertfolio. what are the odds ranges for your bets ?
average price of your winners is just over 4/1, so a 24% SR is very good at those odds is very good
