At OLBG we provide free racing predictions from 10 countries and over 150 courses.  If you want the best racing bets from specific countries then click through to the dedicated page. 

UK Horse Racing Tips

The UK has arguably the highest quality horse racing in the World. Many of our UK users like to bet just on UK racing so you can filter out tips from the rest of the World should you wish and see a page just with UK Horse Racing Tips.

Irish Horse Racing Tips

Irish racing enthusiasts will argue the above point, especially when it comes to national hunt racing. Prize money at Punchestown is now so good that some top stables will keep their horses for that meeting rather than send them over to the UK for the Aintree Grand National meeting. If you just want to see racing tips today from Ireland then go to our page dedicated to Irish Horse Racing Tips.

US Horse Racing Picks

After the racing has finished in the UK, the TV channels and bookie screens will often switch to US racing. This has become more and more popular. So if you want to check out this evening's free horse racing tips for the USA, we have them all in one place for you on our US Horse Racing Picks page.

Australian Horse Racing Tips 

Another benefit of the time difference for UK racing enthusiasts is Australian horse racing. Follow this link to see the Australian Horse Racing Tips from OLBG's horse racing tipsters covering weekly meetings plus the big events, for example, Melbourne Cup tips for Flemington.

In the UK we see many top horses from French racing being bought up by top yards for a career in the UK. Our tipsters are on the lookout for these as they study French racing and provide you with daily French Horse Racing Tips.

Hong Kong Horse Racing Predictions

The prize money is huge and the big meetings at Happy Valley and Sha Tin are very popular with horse racing fans across the globe and in particular the UK where quite often the races are scheduled before the domestic racing gets underway. Well-known UK jockeys often spend time in Hong Kong and our horse racing tipsters will be well aware of those heading over for the big rides in their Hong Kong Racing Tips.

Canadian Horse Racing Tips

Canada boasts some racecourses of its own like Woodbine which are often grouped with US courses. We don't do that! Canadian Racing Tips has its own dedicated page here - Canadian Horse Racing Tips.

UAE/Dubai Horse Racing Predictions

We know about the huge sums of money spent on racehorses in the Middle East which makes the Dubai Racing Tips a well-visited page. The prize money they compete for there can be staggering.

Today's Best Each Way Horse Racing Tips

Most horse racing tips are win tips, so recommend a bet on the horse to win the race. If however, a tipster thinks that a horse is a good bet to either win or place then they will recommend an each-way bet. Many of our users like to place each-way bets as they are more likely to get a return. Some people like to bet at longer odds and are happy to get a return if their horse comes close to winning. If that is how you like to bet then you can look at our dedicated page for today's best each-way racing tips.

ITV Racing Tips

Some users want to jump straight to our tips for ITV races so we have a page for those as well. If you just want to settle down for the afternoon watching the ITV racing and betting on those races only, for your convenience, we have a dedicated ITV racing tips page.

Most Popular Horse Racing Tips at OLBG

This page lists today’s most popular horse racing tips from the community of tipsters at OLBG. If you click on the Tips & Comments tab in the menu above, the tips will be sorted by volume of win tips and then you can look down the list in order of popularity.

These popular horse racing tips are also known as hot tips. We display the number of tips for each selection and the percentage of tips from all tips on the races which have been placed on that selection. 

Value Horse Racing Tips from OLBG

Our easy star guide allows you to compare popular horse racing tips today with their odds to help you put a strategy together to get the best odds on the best tip for each race. One To Five Stars are allocated based on a comparison between the percentage of win tips given to a horse and the odds of the selection.

Many of our users suggest this is a value bet indicator. Click Value Rating in the menu to sort today's free horse racing tips by star rating, five stars being the best.

Today's Horse Racing Tips from the Most Profitable Tipsters  

OLBG is a community of knowledgeable sports bettors. Perhaps partly due to our 8-year sponsorship of the OLBG Road to Cheltenham, we have built up a particularly strong group of expert horse racing tipsters. 

Our best horse racing tipsters are consistently profitable as can be seen by the Monthly Profit Trend figures with their tips. You can also see their level stakes profit (based on horse racing tips only) for the last 12 months and strike rate (also based on horse racing tips only).

On this page, the horse racing tipsters with the best profit performance are displayed most prominently, for more details and to analyse the most profitable horse racing tipsters further head to our best horse racing tipsters page (also explained in more detail in a later section on this page).

Tips from In-Form Tipsters

Some of our users like to follow tipsters on a good run. We provide data such as this month's strike rate, this month's profitability or a tipster with several days in profit in a row.

Again you can analyse this information on our best racing tipsters page or can see more by drilling down into the stats here by choosing a race and then a tipster to see their profile. 

Predictions from Expert Tipsters

Expert is a term reserved for the tipsters at OLBG with the very best records. These are profitable, consistent tipsters who meet strict criteria. The number of expert racing tipsters tipping a selection is indicated by the crown symbol.

If you see this symbol you may want to look in more detail as to what the expert has to say about the selection and why they are tipping that horse today. 

Just click through on the name of the horse, then look for the tipster or tipster with a crown by their name. Here you will be able to see the record of the tipster and understand why we have labelled them an expert! 

Detailed Reasoning for Horse Racing Tips Today

Most other sites provide just tips with little reasoning as to why a tipster is recommending a bet. That gives people no confidence in following a tip. We find that our users want to understand why a recommendation has been made.

This helps us to learn which is a core principle of OLBG that exists to help sports bettors learn from each other. A well-reasoned argument for backing a racing tip is what many like to see. Our site is very well moderated by an in-house team as well as volunteer members. 

Tip comments can be rated and after a while, we get to know the tipsters who research the tips which they make. This validates the time and effort that many of our top horse racing tipsters dedicate to supplying their free horse racing tips.

Not only does this save you a lot of time as you can research the best bets for you, but it also helps you to understand how the best racing tipsters find their horse racing tips. Reading these comments regularly will give you great insight into their selection strategy. 

Do I need to pay for good Horse Racing tips?

We advise against paying for horse racing tips for several reasons the most important being there are so many highly knowledgeable and consistently profitable tipsters here at OLBG who provide free horse racing tips that we don't believe you need to risk paying for horse racing tips from individuals unknown to you or tipping services which may lock you into a subscription period for longer than you may wish to pay for if you have a change of heart after a "bad run of results". OLBG horse racing tipsters compete for generous prize money every month so they don't need to sell their horse racing tips!

Why do "tipsters" sell tips?

There are many reasons why tipsters sell horse racing tips, for example, may be an additional income which supports and pays for their own betting expenses. They may not be able to place bets on their horse racing tips due to bookmakers restricting their staking as a result of previous betting activity. Some tipping services may require you to place cash bets for them in exchange for daily horse racing tips. There is also the question to be asked as to whether the selections are "legitimate and well-researched" horse racing tips and if the tipping service can substantiate their past profit performance figures by proofing to a third party. Take a few minutes to read our Professional or Paid Tipster Services article, which looks at the various types of paid tips services out there and whether they are worth it.

In conclusion, OLBG is the best place to come for daily free horse racing tips as our horse racing tipster's betting performance stats are available to view along with the detailed tip analysis so you know why they are making the selection. 

Do You Recommend Horse Racing Predictions from Other Sites?

The Racing Post's Tom Segal known as "Pricewise" has built a reputation in finding value selections, in most cases to beat the race favourite. Having obtained a following through his success, the problem is the bookies now react accordingly and shorten the odds when his daily horse racing tips are published. Take a look at our Getting the best out of Pricewise race tips article which looks at the predicament facing punters seeking the daily horse racing tips from Pricewise.

Some media outlets provide horse racing tips for free via highly knowledgeable racing journalists such as Templegate's horse racing tips through The Sun Newspaper. The difficulty these tipsters face is they are often required to place a tip on every race through today's racecards. Tipsters at OLBG can be more selective, tipping on one or two races a day or if they don't find any good bets they can choose not to provide any tips at all, exactly how it should be! 

So best stick with OLBG tipsters as we will show you their tip history, strike rate, consistency via recent profitable months, overall profitability and return on investment. They have to back their tips up with good reasoning too so you can understand why they are recommending each bet. You can then choose which tips and tipsters you want to follow.

OLBG has an army of knowledgeable horse racing tipsters, over 300 compete in the monthly horse racing tipster competitions so there are plenty to choose from when it comes to finding tipsters who give the best free horse racing tips.

We outlined in a previous section various criteria our users consider when choosing which horse racing tips and tipsters to follow for the best horse racing tips. For example, value picks, most popular picks, best profit tipsters, current form tipsters etc. All the statistics relevant to these areas are freely available to view with the racing tips today which help form an overall profile of the type of tipsters which will best suit your style of betting, whether it be favourites (regular winners generally at lower odds) or longshots (generally higher odds but perhaps at a lower strike rate).

 "Best" can be subjective as regards tipping strategy, analysis etc so we provide you with all the information to help you decide which tipsters give the best horse racing tips. Profit performance however is not subjective as the tipster's profit figures are proven and verified over the last 12 months so the tipsters with the highest profit for horse racing tips over the last 12 months are those which attract the most demand and are available to view on the "Best Horse Racing Tipsters" page.

The Best Horse Racing Tipsters at OLBG

There are numerous variables to consider when it comes to picking a winning horse and OLBG's horse racing tipsters have their strategies and methods when selecting their daily horse racing tips. Betting strategies may include specialising in specific types of races, assessing previous horse racing form of the day's runners, analysing race trends for major races, following favourite or in-form jockeys and trainers, focusing on runners that are "value" odds, a systematic approach and many many more. 

Those are just a small number of methods for selecting horse racing tips, in most cases, tipsters may use a combination of those mentioned above plus others in an elimination process to create a shortlist of selections for any given race. It may then come down to the respective odds of each runner on their shortlist before deciding on placing their free horse racing tips.

Here is a brief description of those betting strategies mentioned:

• Specialising on Specific Types of Horse Races - Most successful tipsters will keep their own detailed record of their selections as this shows their profit (or losses) from their betting and it also helps to highlight specific types of races where they may excel and flag others where their record may not be so good. When we say specific races we are referring to the various categories such as Flat races, handicaps, maidens (for horses yet to win), Novice races, sprints (5 & 6 Furlongs), Chases, Hurdles etc. Having this information can help tipsters narrow their focus on any given day's horse racing runners to specific races for their horse racing tips.
• Assessing Previous Horse Racing Form - Tipsters analyse the previous performances (form) of today's runners using their skill and expertise in assessing horse racing form. This will involve evaluating the credentials of each runner's form (recent and career), comparing their optimum racing conditions (Ground, Distance, Class etc) about today's race and creating a shortlist of selections they feel hold the best claims of winning. Horse Racing's trade paper the Racing Post will be a popular resource (online & newspaper) for extensive form study along with many other free-to-use resources such as the sportinglife and attheraces websites where the day's racecards and form can be viewed. The previous form is a highly important factor but just one of many to consider before deciding on horse racing selections. For a more in-depth look at this subject check out our "How To Read Horse Racing Form" article over in the Betting School section. 
• Following Favourite or In-Form Trainers & Jockeys - Sentiment can sometimes be risky when it comes to betting on horse races and following trainers or jockeys blindly, however, tipsters will gain knowledge of specific traits of trainers when they have runners at a specific racecourse or in a race they have won on numerous occasions ("horses for courses"). Studying Trainer and Jockeys performance statistics at each racecourse will unearth pointers for tipsters and is another important cog when analysing a race, this aspect could be the difference when deciding on a shortlist of runners in a particular race. Stables enjoying a "purple patch" of winners is also a key factor when looking for horse racing selections, horses that have previously been below par may suddenly be at their peak and ready to perform above expectations. 
• Focusing on "Value" Odds - Tipsters in the main will have an idea of what they consider to be "value" odds on their daily horse racing tips. "Value" can apply to a race favourite regarded as better odds than expected or the selection can be larger odds but still better odds than anticipated. Many experienced tipsters have a great skill in being able to set the odds for a race (similar to a bookmaker), this is known generally as "tissue odds" and helps them decide on whether their selection for a race is available to bet on at "value odds". The odds on offer in most cases will be the deciding factor for tipsters when they have more than one runner on their shortlist of contenders for any given race. Some tipsters may also solely focus their free horse racing tips around a specific odds range, this may be concentrating on horses between say 5/1 (6.0) and 9/1 (10.0). They may encounter slightly longer losing runs as runners at these generally do not win as many times as a favourite at much shorter odds however the odds are consistently more rewarding. Their strike rate may not be as high as a result but their Return on Investment (ROI) should be healthy, this is shown as a % and calculated by dividing their profit by the stake. For a more detailed look on the subject of finding "Value odds" take some time to read our "Value Betting" article which looks at making betting more profitable.
• A Systematic Approach - The traditional Horse Racing form book purists may scoff somewhat at this method of selecting horse racing tips today however it does appeal to many tipsters and in particular those who prefer not to have their head buried in the form book for hours on end. Creating horse racing betting systems is generally done by a computer analysing 1000's previous results over a defined period and then the tipster selects from a multitude of filters (form, course, trainer, jockey, etc) to crunch the data and produces a set of stats (profit/loss, number of selections, etc) to see if there is a betting angle for producing profitable horse racing tips. Numerous articles on the systematic approach like "The Best Horse Racing Betting System Ever, Can it Work ?" can be found in our Insights Section on OLBG.
• Horse Racing Trends Analysis - Many tipsters like this approach especially for the prestigious races in the UK and around the world. For example, if a high number of previous winners of the Grand National have previously run in "x" chases, won "x" times over 3 miles or further, not worn any form of headgear, carried less than "x" in weight etc, this can help create a shortlist of the most likely winners, a good starting point before carrying out further analysis like form study and stable form. Of course, just because something has happened before does not mean it will happen every time but when there are strong trend pointers they are worth consideration. We have a fantastic section of extensive Horse Racing Trends Blogs on OLBG compiled by Zipster covering all the major races around the world and weekly meetings in the UK and Ireland, make sure you check them out before betting on your horse racing tips today.
