This might just be the best tip i have ever had...
Picking up my indian takeaway tonight and the head stable bloke of Twiston Davis also in there, we are both regs and having a pint...
Cut a long story short...he tipped "the new one" or "the only one" or something similar, its his tip for Cheltenham Gold Cup week, its in a bumper???
I dont bet on the horses so not sure if that makes sense to you guys or not.

In 2001 i think it was an apprentice jockey had got word to a contact of ours that Landseer had been working really well at home for Aiden O'Brien and we got quite a bit on ante post at prices of 40/1 and 33/1 and on the day of the race myself and old fella were sat in a bar in Cala St Vicente cheering on a 20/1 winner and we had €150 each on with the bookie in the bar his face was priceless.

Who can forget the coo some of us had when Blue Square thought it shrewd to price up Paul 'just an internet player so can't be any good' Foltyn at 150/1 to win the GUKPT final in 2008.
happy days! |

About 20 yrs ago i phoned one of them shady tipsters from the daily paper . His 1st tip come short head 2nd at 15/2. He rang me later in the week to say how unlucky we were and would i put some money on for him today on a horse called " Don't Tell The Wife ".
I said something like ' are you taking the piss ! and that i didnt have any money anyway because it was all on the loser at the weekend' .
He assured me that this was genuine ' inside info " and that the horse would win and that if i didn't back it with my own money and put some on for him he would never ring again and that i would never be able to contact him .
I was literally broke, also struggling with a young family to make ends meet and only ever did my usual donk combo small stakes Saturday wager. I certainly couldnt get the few hundred quid on for him .
Anyway i did look through the daily runners in paper and noticed that a top Irish jump jockey called Charlie Swan had come over for just a couple of rides to a crappy little mid week meeting at worcester and one of was indeed called 'Dont Tell The Wife ' . The horse being a poor form maiden was priced up at something like 50/1.
Curiosity got the better of me and i got a lift up to the bookies with a crispy £20 note borrowed off my mum for ' groceries '.
The horse opened up 25/1 so i put the £20 on and took the price. Told a couple of regs my 'Tip' which only one guy backed and we both shouted him home .
Absolutely hacked up in a canter . The guy gave me a drink too from his winnings.
Never did hear from that tipster again and often wondered if he was genuine or just picked every runner out from each race and i was the lucky one that got the winner.

This reminds me of a chap in the midlands called Micky Singh and anyone who would have played "old walsall" casino or Jnc 10 or the Wolverhampton casinos will most likely know Micky and I am pretty confident this was one of his tricks where he always asked you to stcik a £10 or £20 on for him and it could be a dog or a horse race, he did have some run good once and obv gave me his better selections as from an initial £10 he spun it up to £2000 via getting me to put some of his own ££ on stuff and we met at the china palace one night to hand over his ££!

Almost certainly was one of those scams where they give a different horse to every punter. Almost all "to odds" tipsters are following some variety of that scam which is a shame as it has always struck me that if it hadn't tarnished by those kind of tipsters then it would be a good way for the genuine sharps to spread their money around.
