Top ten horse racing tipsters 2023

From Galopin Des Champs and Constitution Hill romping to victory at the Cheltenham Festival, through Corach Rambler winning the Grand National and Auguste Rodin landing the Derby, and highlighted by Frankie Dettori signing off his UK career with two more Classic successes and a win in in his very last Group 1 race.

In and around all those landmark achievements, Tipstrr's horse racing pundits continued to provide some mouthwatering profits for their growing numbers of appreciative subscribers, and we’re happy to share their top ten services in a convenient at-a-glance summary below:

10th On The Money Tips 

• 951 tips, 33.3% ROI, £6,333 profit

There's no shame in propping up this high-quality top ten, and On the Money Tips fully deserves to make the shortlist for the second year running after finishing runner-up on the same leaderboard for 2022.

While the first half of 2023 did not produce stellar returns, it provided a solid platform for the last six months, during which time OTMT topped August's Best Tipster rankings with an 87% monthly ROI, before again making the top ten in both November (36%) and December (71%) to finish another bumper year with a flourish.

A manageable supply of around 25-30 selections per week are invariably published the evening before racing, and his annual 14% win rate is all the more impressive for being limited to win-only bets only at average odds in double digits.

9th EachWayMorningTips 

• 3184 tips, 25.4% ROI, £16,203 profit

Probably the best way to introduce EachWayMorningTips is to point out that this is the only service in this top ten to have enjoyed 12/12 profitable months throughout 2023.

While his prolific output might be too excessive for some betting tastes, it's worth noting that he has already kicked off 2024 in spectacular style, landing three winners in the space of two hours on January 2nd at odds of 20/1, 12/1 and 10/1 for what would have been a 1500/1 treble. 

Interestingly EWMT only featured on one of last year's monthly leaderboards (June's 71% earned 6th spot), which only goes to prove that the long-term success of a tipster does not need huge monthly profit spikes, as the final six months of the year saw his monthly yields hover in a solid range between 17% and 37% for consistent achievable growth.

8th SmallFieldPunting 

• 579 tips, 26.0% ROI, £3,011profit

Occupying the same 8th position that he achieved last year, SmallField Punting also won 2021's Best Emerging Tipster accolade, and carried that form effortlessly into an equally lucrative 2023. 

By definition, this tipster's niche strategy of focusing solely on the outsider value that can be found in races that involve fewer than eight runners immediately reduces the number of potential rivals, which in turn can increase the chances of finding extra value lower in the market.

The fact that on six occasions during 2023, SmallfieldPunting earned a monthly ROI in excess of 25% (four times above 50% and twice above 100%) goes a long way towards explaining his 26% annual yield, as indeed does a 15% win rate at average advised odds in excess of 9/1, all without the comfort of an each-way safety net. 

7th 365 Tips 

• 1712 tips, 32.7% ROI, £11,186 profit

In seventh spot, 365 Tips remains as popular now as when he first launched on Tipstrr at the back end of 2019, and he might well have finished much higher on this leaderboard had his profit line not flattened slightly during the final two months of the year.

Another tipster to provide win-only tips at prices more often reserved for each-way betting, 365 Tips' output has remained rock solid at around 30-40 tips per week, which should suit most betting appetites, with all selections published during the morning of racing for optimum liquidity when markets are established.

With four top-ten spots on our monthly rankings, 365 Tips exceeded 25% ROI in all but one of the first 10 months of the year (June's 17% let him down there!), all thanks to a rock solid 12% win rate at average advised odds of more than 11/1.

6th Won Racing Tip 

• 326 tips, 33.9% ROI, £2,211 profit 

Fifth on this leaderboard a year ago, Won Racing Tip might have slipped down a notch, but that does not disguise the long-term viability of an easy-to-follow-each-way service that earned a spot on our monthly leaderboards six times in the first nine months of 2023 (winning it in April with 223% ROI).

Selecting just one outsider bet as a daily 'nap' from the hundreds of runners on each day's racecard takes a decisive and discerning eye for value, especially when employing a big-odds each-way approach at average advised odds of more than 20/1.

An annual 6% win rate might seem meagre at first glance, but that would be to overlook WRT's high-tariff approach, and it is his 22% place rate that provided the backbone of another stellar annual return.

5th Model Man 

• 3003 tips, 39.9% ROI, £23,967 profit

Model Man hit the ground running when first setting up shop on Tipstrr in June 2022, and that formed the foundation of 2023's stellar performance that has now established him as one of Tipstrr's leading lights. 

Averaging 50-60 tips per week, MM's volume might not suit more moderate betting appetites, but 10/12 profitable months, all of them over 20% ROI is the kind of growth that should please serious bettors and casual punters alike.

A 60/40 split between race-winner and each-way selections not only keeps betting varied, but also helps utilise his high-odds betting strategy to best effect, with his impressive 13% win rate augmented by a further 270 placed horses from his 1100+ each-way selections. 

 4th The Banker 

• 683 tips, 40.6% ROI, £3,390.84 profit

The fact that the proven service of TheBanker won this accolade in 2021 and also made the top ten a year ago only emphasises the profitable longevity of a service that has been a jewel in Tipstrr's crown since first gracing the site in June 2019.

The numbers speak for themselves, of course, and any tipster who can sustain a 16% win rate across almost 700 selections at average odds of more than 10/1 is always going to return the kind of returns that earned The Banker seven appearances on our monthly leaderboards, including top spot in October (97% ROI).

Factor in The Banker's practice of not only publishing his selections at the same time every day (around 9pm the night before racing), but also sending out an early alert to announce that tips are on their way, and you get a flavour of the professional service that this popular tipster provides.

 3rd Underdog Racing Tips  

• 2551 tips, 41.9% ROI, £21,371 profit 

After finishing runner-up in this category in 2021 (44.8% ROI) and third in 2022 (43.7%), Underdog Racing Tips has to settle for a bridesmaid role once again, but that should not detract from another lucrative year that began with his only drawdown month in January, and saw him go on to enjoy another five appearances in our monthly Best Tipster rankings.

His 7% win rate might seem somewhat disappointing at first glance, while his eye for market movements means that his followers need to move quickly to match his published odds. However, the strength of the Underdog's high-tariff strategy lies in his eye for outsider value in the middle and lower echelons of the betting market, where that 6% win rate climbs to an impressive 26% in terms of each-way places.

That means that his 159 winners from his busy output of 2551 tips were supplement by a whopping 439 frame finishes, and at average advised odds of almost 16/1, it's easy to see how that success converts to such hefty profits, and also explains why Underdog Racing Tips remains one of Tipstrr's most popular services.

 2nd Off The Bridle Racing 

• 817 tips, 41.5% ROI, £6,784 profit

Runner-up is often considered to be the toughest place to finish, but followers of Off The Bridle Racing won't mind that after their favourite tipster guided them to just shy of £7K in clear profit during 2023. 

After enduring a stuttering start to the year, OTBR turned a corner in dramatic fashion when July's 147% yield earned him top spot in our Best New Tipster rankings, and from there he never looked back, achieving a 32-33% ROI in each of the last four months of the year.

With a chief focus on National Hunt racing, this could be the perfect time to make the most of this tipster's area of expertise, and his regular output of 15-20 each-way selections per week, usually published the night before racing, makes this an easy service to follow.

1st HorseForaCourse

• 582 tips, 57.6% ROI, £6,708 profit

Launched when racing resumed following the first Covid lockdown in June 2020, HorseForaCourse has now established a firm foothold within the Tipstrr community to convert early promise into longer-term sustained profitability, illustrated by no fewer than seven appearances in 2023's monthly Best Tipster rankings, including one win, a second and three thirds.

The service of HorseForaCourse is built on a mid-range strategy that seeks to identify overpriced horses from the middle of the betting market, often opposing runners that appear favoured by the bookmakers' odds.

Once those selections have been identified, then HorseForACourse provides a service that is user-friendly, transparent and easy to follow:

• A manageable supply of 10 to 15 tips per week
• Tips usually published the night before racing
• Other tips published on race day as and when value is identified
• Most tips cover race-winner single bets, with occasional each-way tips
• All tips recommending one betting unit.

He maintained mouthwatering success throughout 2023 and ended the year with a flourish with December's 73% ROI.

• 9 profitable months out of 12, all above 26% ROI
• 8 winning months above 55% ROI, two above 100%
• Overall ROI of 57% across the whole of 2023
• £6.7K profit won in 2023 to level £20 stakes
• Average of 45-50 tips per month
• 16% win rate at average odds nudging 10/1
• 7 top ten appearances in monthly Best Tipster rankings
• September Best Tipster winner with 158% ROI

HorseForaCourse's' selections offer average advised odds that nudge close to 10/1, so patience and betting discipline is recommended in order to absorb any inevitable lean spells between those tasty winners.

However, anyone keeping faith with HorseForaCourse's discerning eye for value during 2023 would have been rewarded with over 330 units of profits, meaning they would have ended the year £7,000* better off than they began it.

 

To qualify for these rankings, tipsters had to meet certain criteria including length of service, volume and regularity of tips, as well as sustained and achievable profitability throughout the year.
