Tipster Proofing

Welcome to the Racing-Index proofing section, where we proof the backing and laying selections of over 150 tipster services.

When following the selections of a tipster you should be looking towards long term profits. We therefore focus on services that have been proofing selections for at least 6 months and have returned a profit during that period.

So that you can also monitor services that have shown good potential, over a shorter period, we've also highlighted performances over 3 months and 1 month.

Take time to look a the tables below and click on either the full list to see how other tipsters have performed or click on an individual tipster link to see their full results.

In order to compare the different types of tipsters, we've developed a system we call ESP (Estimated Stakes Profits). This takes into account profits achieved, strike rate and profit on turnover to estimate what stake amount could have been used, based on a betting bank of 1000 points. The ESP figure is the theoretical profit that would have been returned, using those stakes, during the period shown. For an explanation on why we use ESP see ESP Explained.

Also see Proofing Explanation for more information on other aspects of proofing.
