Villanova Queen and Colin Keane win Kensington Palace Fillies' Handicap at Royal Ascot

Last month's Royal Ascot Festival crowned a thrilling first six months of the year, prompting our friends at Tipstrr to showcase 2023's best horse racing tipsters in their half-yearly report.

Anyone looking for the services of a proven horse racing tipster should find something to their tastes among such a wide array of services that have achieved a remarkable level of success on Tipstrr.

Tipstrr's half-year rankings provide us with a more rounded look at the longer-term capabilities of our top-performing services by collating our top ten horse racing tipsters throughout the first six months of the year.

Just click on the links for more information about each tipster, and for details of any introductory offers that are currently available.

10th Statometer

442 tips, 29.5% ROI, £2,606 profit

It's no disgrace to be propping up this high-quality top ten, and Statometer has enjoyed a great first half of 2022 with a diverse mixture of race-winner, each-way and exotic multiple bets.

While the steep profit line of January (90% ROI) and February (116% ROI) has inevitably plateau-ed in more recent months, that only serves to demonstrate that a successful tipster sees betting in terms of long-term investment rather than short-term gains, and over £2.5K profit over six months represents a tasty return

9th Model Man

1669 tips, 39.0% ROI, £17,382 profit

Since rebooting his service after a brief hiatus at the end of 2022 there has been no looking back for the prolific and varied service of Model Man, whose 39% yield since the start of the year converts to a whopping £17K in profit to level £20 stakes.

Those numbers suggest that bankroll management should not be an issue no matter what the tip volume, all from a diverse mixture of race-winner and each-way tips that are usually advised at double-digit prices.

8th BigOddsValue

380 tips, 31.1% ROI, £2,360 profit

If you enjoy the high-tariff approach of betting on large-priced outsiders should find that the self-explanatory BigOddsValue ticks all the right boxes as he approaches his first full year of service.

His big winners are provided by a tried and proved selection method, which by its very nature requires patience and betting discipline to absorb the inevitable leaner periods in between.

Despite beginning and ending the first half of the year with with a couple of slight drawdown months, they bookended four straight months of significant growth highlighted by a whopping 139% monthly yield in March, courtesy of advising Faivoir at 66/1 in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham.

7th Won Racing Tip

157 tips, 81.0% ROI, £4,595 profit

Anyone following the tips of each-way specialist Won Racing Tip this year will have enjoyed ending each of the first six months with a bigger betting bank than they began them, and he boasts the largest ROI of the ten services listed here.

Providing just one nap selection per day might not be enough to satisfy more voracious betting appetites, but this best-bet approach has been rewarded with a surge in profits that should leave a very nice taste in the mouth. With a lowest monthly yield of 37% in March quickly followed by a mammoth 223% return in April, this one-horse service is aimed focusing solely on single best-value picks that make betting a quick and simple process.

6th 365 Tips

824 tips, 42.7% ROI, £7,045 profit

Also boasting six straight profitable months so far in 2023, 365 Tips is a three-year veteran on the Tipstrr site, offering an eye for outsider value that is all the more impressive for the fact that his tips operate without the benefit an each-way safety net despite being advised at average odds of more than 11/1.

A 12% win rate means that followers have to expect around eight losers to every winner, which takes some patience and discipline, but six profitable months and over £7K in profit so far in 2023 suggest that those winners are well worth waiting for.

5th Read Between The Lines

358 tips, 25.3% ROI, £3,542 profit

We enter our top five with the each-way service of Read Between The Lines, who, as his detailed profile page explains, is a handicapping expert with 35 years experience behind him.

This service offers just about everything that a well-rounded professional service should represent, with a perfectly manageable tip volume invariably published around the same time every morning, and usually enhanced with an insightful race preview that helps explain the reasoning behind each selection.

A quality service is nothing without results to back it up, of course, and RBTL has certainly stepped up so far this year, supplementing a 12% win rate at average odds of around 20/1 with a 21% place rate to bring home £3.5K since the turn of the year.

4th AR Sports Consultancy

1409 tips, 21.8% ROI, £12,256 profit

Another tipster to exemplify the attributes we like to see in our premium services is AR Sports Consultancy who has made a hugely positive impact since first gracing the Tipstrr platform in December of last year.

Six months later, anyone who has been able to match his advised prices with level £20 stakes would now be more than £12K to the good.

He doesn't claim that all of his each-way selections will carry huge odds, but he does guarantee that they will all be priced higher that they should be in the market, and it is that betting model coupled with his eye for value that has allowed this service to sustain massive achievable profits over a long period of time.

3rd The Banker

321 tips, 39.2% ROI, £2,517 profit

The first of our podium positions is occupied by The Banker who has just completed four full years of service and remains one of the jewels in the Tipstrr crown.

Almost an ever-present on our monthly leaderboards, The Banker has built a service on a series of computational models aimed at generating the data required to produce high and sustainable long-term yields.

An all-time ROI just shy of 30% from nearly 3,000 race-winner tips at average advised odds close to 8/1 prove that this is aim is no pipe-dream, while his output of just one or two selections per day, usually published around 9pm the night before racing, makes betting straightforward and easily manageable.

2nd Underdog Tips

1075 tips, 50.8% ROI, £21,956 profit

Shining equally brightly among Tipstrr's crown jewels is our runner-up Underdog Racing Tips, another long-serving tipster whose eye for each-way outsider value has made him one of our most popular services since launching back in October 2019.

The premise of his service is simply explained by his own profile blurb: " We look for lively outsiders, so if you love the thrill of a big-priced winner, we could be just the tipster you are looking for".

Judging by his increasing popularity, there are plenty of punters looking for such a tipster, and those people have been revelling in his busy output of overpriced outsiders, and have also been enjoying the £20K+ in profits that his tips have yielded in the first half of 2022.

1st HorseForaCourse

301 tips, 56% ROI, £4,460 profit

And so we move on to our Best Tipster of 2023 (so far!) in the shape of HorseForaCourse , who began the year with a rare (albeit negligible) drawdown month, before resuming the kind of form that has made him one of Tipstrr's most reliable performers since setting up shop immediately following the Covid-19 lockdown in June 2020.

Providing a consistent service which offers a 60/40 mix of race-winner and each-way selections at average mid-market odds of around 10/1, his six-month 56% ROI equates to a tasty £4.4K to level £20 stakes scross his selective output of 301 tips.

The profits accrued over the last six months are merely a continuation of the sustained success that has see H4AC yield a 46% ROI over the last year and an overall 35% from well over 2,000 tips since the service first launched three years ago

So, it's clearly been a lucrative first half of 2023 for anyone following any or all of those top ten performers, who have yielded well over £75K between them in half-yearly gains to level £20 stakes, with just the top three alone clearing a combined £28K since the turn of the year.

Well done again to HorseForaCourse for heading such an impressive group, and we hope there's enough in the above list to allow you to make an informed decision when considering tipsters who have shown they are capable of performing profitably over an extended period.
