All to play for as Besttipping challenge enters final phase
2009-10-24
With just over two months to run, the battle for supremacy at the top of the Besttipping tipsters’ table is turning into a thrilling two horse race, with PJA Flat holding a narrow advantage over the fast finishing Insideoutracing.
Insideoutracing have made stealthy headway with a 21.1 yield over the last four weeks. Steve Jones (Daily Bargain) had another spectacular month, just failing to repeat last month’s table-topping position. The two PJA services, Flat and National Hunt, were again finding regular winners, while Soccertips-Scottish and Soccertips-English were both in dominant form
Highlight of Insideoutracing’s success was the 20 October Exeter winner, Love of Tara, who was earmarked at 14/1 (eventual SP 8/1). Other notable winners include Gardening Leave (Newbury 24 October) and Andorn (9/1) and Record Breaker (11/4) the services’ only selections on 27 September.
Steve Jones’s fine run of recent form continued with Misplaced Fortune (8/1), Feeling Foxy (8/1), Spin Cycle (7/1), Thin Red Line (9/2), Wigram’s Turn (4/1), Invincible Lad (7/2) and Classically (3/1) all finding there way home in first place. In the last two months, the Daily Bargain has shown a 50 point profit.
Hunterview, a successful 10/1 advice, was the pick of a number of impressively priced winners for PJA Flat. This haul also included Solemn (17/2), Another Try, Misplaced Fortune and Opinion Poll (all advised at 8/1), and Russian Spirit, Bollin Dolly (advised at 7/1).
As jumping takes centre stage, its reassuring to know that PJA National Hunt have already been making stealthy gains. The latest batch include 10/1 Ludlow chase winner, Winsley Hill, the Nick Ayliffe-trained mare, Bubbs (9/1), successful over hurdles at Exeter on 7 October and the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Chepstow victor, Beat The Boys (6/1).
Regulars on the Besttipping site will not be surprised to learn that Personal Info is on its way to another profitable month. In recent weeks the service’s Irish tips have been well worth following, with six of the last seven advices winning for a 38 point profit.
Finally this month a mention for the two soccer services, Soccertips-Scottish and Soccertips-English. Both have made a fantastic start to the season. Between them, the pair have a combined strike rate of 85% having correctly predicted seventeen out of twenty results.

Besttipping receive selections from all the tipsters well before the start time of the event. These selections (the same ones they are sending out to their regular subscribers) are later settled against the day's results and entered into the Besttipping database. The result is that we are able to display a complete and accurate (and above all, independently verifiable!) record of how each service is performing over a period of time.
Many tipsters claim impressive track records and in some cases, these results are undoubtedly true. Claims though, are very easy to make and without proper policing and easily understandable analysis it is difficult for the potential customer to subscribe with any real confidence. Besttipping is the only 'Professional' service and is unique in that it offers for free the chance for you to:
- View results graphically
- View results by level flat stake (£10, £50 or £100 you decide)
- View results by points (if the tipster uses this system)
- View total win value and percentage of winners
- View results over different periods e.g. 30 days, 90 days, year to date
- Monitors laying as well as backing services
The importance of long-term subscriptions.
Looking back over the performances of our tipsters since we started collecting data in October 2005, what strikes me most is the incredible consistency shown by the top performers. Not only are the same names who were at the top of our tables in December still at the top, but the amount of profit shown to their clients has increased steadily.
This is not to say though that they will never have negative weeks or even months. In fact they ALL have, and will no doubt have more in the future. The important thing to appreciate when deciding to subscribe to a service is that it has to be a long term investment to be worthwhile. It is true that you may subscribe for a month and be lucky enough to show a huge return, but the consistent and reliable returns are shown over time.
Besttipping is there to identify how tipsters have performed in the past so that you can gauge how they might perform in the future. Having chosen the service you feel offers the best long term value, make a long term commitment and decide on a stake amount which does not overstretch you during the losing periods, while at the same time makes the subscription fee worthwhile.
Best of Luck!!
