The state of “horse racing tipsters” is starting to bug me. There are some good ones, both paid & free. There are people whose opinions I value, but even then, it gets diluted by tipping nearly everyday to meet a quota for their employer. Then there are the fakes — those who claim to have inside info when they almost certainly don’t, those pushing betting affiliate links & get a % of your losses. There are fake slips, dodgy dancing videos &, somehow, we’ve even reached the point where one is selling feet pics. My point? I think there’s an opportunity to do something a bit more genuine &, hopefully, more helpful. I’ve built a website called The Cheltenham Edge, where I’ll add some antepost bets & content, mainly building up to Cheltenham. The important bit for me is that I want to give detailed reasoning alongside the bets, but also use the site to challenge some of the usual trends, add context to races & hopefully look at things from a slightly different angle rather than just throwing a horse out there with a price & moving on. I’m not pretending I’ve suddenly found the secret to betting. I haven’t. I just want to put my own opinions & reasoning somewhere public, build a record of them, & hopefully give people something a bit more useful to follow than another stream of selections. It’s free to sign up. You’ll get your own little portal on the site (see below) and an email when something new is posted. If it’s not for you, that’s absolutely fine. But after years of seeing “racing tips”, I thought it was worth having a go at doing it my way.
