It’s the age old question that many often ask when it comes to the sometimes thorny issue of using tipsters.
Can tipsters actually be trusted, especially with your hard-earned cash?
Some like to rule them out without hesitation in the belief that they are all scam artists, the likes of whom might sell their granny just to make a few bob.
In many instances, the issue of trust (or a lack of) is justified as tipsters over the years have built up a poor reputation. The problem dates back to the dinosaur age of the phone-line tipster who will tell you they have a big priced ‘cert’ racing in the 3.30 at Newbury…. Only for said ‘cert’ to be odds-on and come absolutely nowhere.
Sadly this practice still goes on and just this week on our private members forum there have been a number of very dodgy looking tipsters discussed (and subsequently dismissed!).
- One such service performed the old trick of promising a 20/1 ‘touch’ before advising a horse that opened at 5/4 in a 5 runner race.
- Whilst another promised ‘one big winner or your money back’ – as long as you stumped up £100 upfront of course.
