Racehorses and jockeys charge down the finishing straight at a British racecourse, while betting slips, a racecard and a notebook rest on a rail in the foreground, capturing the atmosphere of a racing tipster competition.

May Tipster Competition Begins to Gather Pace

The early exchanges in the May tipster competition have already produced a fascinating leaderboard, with several familiar names quickly finding their stride. While it remains very much early days and there is still a long road ahead, the opening numbers suggest we may be in for a fiercely competitive contest.

Tipster competition results as at 16th May.

At the head of affairs, The Gaffa has made a blistering start, posting a remarkable ROI of 144.71% from a selective dozen bets, while RTGC and Tangoman have also emerged from the stalls with solid returns and healthy strike-rates. Gordo, a seasoned and recognisable name to regular followers, has combined consistency with volume to keep himself firmly in the mix.

Elsewhere, Informed Fancies and Poleaxe have both demonstrated the value of patience and precision with notably strong strike-rates.

Of course, with many competitors still building momentum and plenty of racing left to come, the standings are far from settled. But if the opening weeks are any indication, this month’s competition promises to deliver plenty of twists, turns and tipping drama before the winning post comes into view.

Betting all my adult life, firstly at the greyhound track where my dad was a trainer more recently horses.
A fan of systems based betting which I've been practicing and writing about since 2004 which was the last time I had a real job.
