A tipster is a person or service that provides betting predictions and recommended wagers for sporting events.

Tipsters aim to guide bettors on what and when to bet.

How it works

• Tips are shared before events (pre-match or live)

• Recommendations usually include odds and stake size

• Performance is measured using yield, ROI, or profit

Example

• Tip: Team A to win at odds 2.10

• Suggested stake: 2 units

• Result determines tipster’s recorded performance

Key characteristics

• Can be free or paid

• Quality varies widely

• Long-term results matter more than short-term wins

Important note
Most tipsters are unprofitable long term—verified statistics are essential before following any service.
