Model vs tipsters
Every selection settled the same way — one £1 win bet at the official starting price, recorded before racing and never scored after the event. Results are picked up race by race, so this page updates through the afternoon.
Fair fight — one bet per race
Counting each race once, not once per tipster. 30 races where we and at least one tipster named a horse · 21 judged, meaning both sides have a confirmed result and price, so every line below is measured over exactly the same races.
| Approach | Races | Wins | Strike | P/L to £1 | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
FormIQ model Our pick, one bet per shared race | 21 | 4 | 19.0% | -£9.12 | -43.4% |
Tipster consensus Most-tipped horse, one bet per shared race | 21 | 9 | 42.9% | +£2.86 | 13.6% |
Average tipster £1 split across every nap in the race | 21 | 8.15 | 38.8% | -£0.50 | -2.4% |
Three tipsters naming the same horse is one opinion, not three, so it is settled as a single bet. "Tipster consensus" backs the horse most of them agreed on; "average tipster" splits £1 across every nap in the race, which is what you'd expect from picking a tipster at random. The scoreboard below still shows each tipster individually.

Tipster naps are the published best bets of the day from the Sporting Life naps table. They are recorded before racing and settled from the same official results feed as our own picks, so neither side can be scored after the event. Races still waiting on a confirmed result or a published price are left out of every total.
