How to Read a Tipster Results Record

Learn what to inspect in a tipster record before drawing conclusions from headline profit figures.

A results record is useful only when you can understand what was advised, when it was advised and how returns were calculated.

Prefer complete records

Check that losing selections are included alongside winners and that the time period is not selectively chosen. Note total bets, total stakes, bet types and any changes in staking.

Prices matter

Reported profit depends on the odds used. Ask whether the advised price was available for a meaningful period and whether the record uses advised odds, starting price or another convention.
