Tip transparency
How Our Tips Work
Every tip is published with the price at the time, timestamped, settled from official results and kept forever — winners and losers alike. This page explains the record and how to read it.

What a tip is on this site
A tip is a published opinion that a horse represents value at a stated price, at a stated time. It is not a guarantee, a prediction of certainty or financial advice. What makes it useful is that it is recorded, settled and kept.
What every tip records
| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Selection | The horse, the race and the Festival edition |
| Type | Win, each-way, place or lay |
| Price at publication | The price generally available when published, with the time it was seen |
| Place terms (each-way tips) | The fraction and number of places at the time of publication |
| Published | UK date and time |
| Author | The editorial desk, or a named contributor with a public record |
| Reasoning | Why — with the data used linked |
| Status | Open, won, placed, lost, void or non-runner |
| Settlement | Points profit or loss to level stakes, computed from the official result |
Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open | The race has not yet been run |
| Won | The selection won |
| Placed | An each-way or place tip whose selection placed but did not win |
| Lost | The selection neither won nor (where relevant) placed |
| Void | The bet would have been refunded — for example a non-runner under day-of-race or NRNB terms |
| Non-runner | The selection did not run; settled as void or, for an ante-post tip without NRNB, as lost |
Settlement rules
- Official result governs. Tips are settled on the official result as recorded in our results database, which cites its source. Amended results are applied with a note.
- Price at publication. Settlement uses the recorded price, not a later, better or worse one. Best Odds Guaranteed is not assumed.
- Level stakes. Win tips are one point; each-way tips are one point each way (two points total); place tips one point; lay tips one point liability at the recorded price. Results are shown as points profit or loss, and cumulatively.
- Rule 4. Where a withdrawal triggered a deduction under the standard scale, it is applied to the settlement and noted.
- Ante-post tips are labelled as such at publication, state whether NRNB applied, and are settled accordingly. See the ante-post guide.
Never deleted
Tips are not deleted, unpublished or edited after publication. If a tip contained an error — a wrong price, a wrong race — a correction is appended as a dated note and the original stays visible. See the corrections policy.
How to read the record
- Judge a record over a meaningful number of tips, not a week.
- Level-stakes profit is one measure; strike rate is another; both are shown.
- A strong record does not predict the next tip. Variance is large in horse racing and in Festival week especially — three of the fifteen verified 2026 results went to horses at 33/1 or bigger.
- Compare the recorded price with what you can actually get; a tip at 8/1 is a different proposition at 5/1.
What tips are not
They are not a staking plan, a system or a promise. Stake only what you can afford to lose. This site is for adults aged 18 and over; support is available at BeGambleAware.org, GamCare and GamStop — see responsible gambling.
