  • Tip sheet

    Using a Tip sheet to bet the races

  1. Step 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. Step 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. Step 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. Step 4

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

  5. Step 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.
