If you love to bet at the racetrack, but hate to lose, using a horse racing tipster may be the right move for you. These tipsters can provide you with a list of winners for a set fee. Contacting a horse racing tipster can prove to be a worthwhile investment.

Things You'll Need

• Tip sheet

Instructions

Using a Tip sheet to bet the races

1. Find a horse racing tipster by asking around at the track. They are usually located at a table near the entrance to the grandstand. See if any of the regular bettors use a tipster with a good track record. Otherwise, search the Internet for a tipster site.

2. Check out a tipster's background before you agree to any terms of service. The tipster should have a solid background in horse racing and be known for picking winners. Most of them can provide you with stats from the previous day's racing card.

3. Contact tipsters through their Web site or hotline. Many tipsters will provide a certain number of tips for a set amount of money. Some of the tipsters are confident enough to allow you to get a few free tips from them to start.

4. Place small bets at first. Use the tipster's recommendations, but do not put down exorbitant amounts of money on the horses.

5. Make sure the tipster backs up his information with facts and not hunches. Tipsters should handicap each horse in a race.

Tips & Warnings

• Never give out too many personal financial details to a tipster. You don't want to get conned out of any money.

• Stop using a tipster if you have not won any races using their tips.
