Tipster Proofing

Racing-Index proof the back and lay bet selections of over 200 tipster services. To better illustrate the profits that could have been achieved, following the tipsters, we show performance figures based on Betfair SPs (BSP).

For back to win selections we provide a performance comparison of BSP versus regular SP. For lay bets we just show figures based on BSPs, which will give you a much more accurate guide to tipsters past performance.

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 12 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 show performances over 6, 3 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 view a full list of their results.

In order to compare the different types of tipsters, we use 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 stake. For an explanation on why we use ESP see ESP Explained. Also see Proofing Explanation for more information on other aspects of proofing.

Comparison Tables

Below are comparison tables for the past 12 months, 6 months, 3 months and 1 month performance. To see a complete list of services that proof their selections click on the "Full List" link. When viewing the full list you'll have the option to sort via Profit, POT% or ESP.
