Betting Advice & Tipsters
Betting Advice - What is a Tipster?
Betting Advisers (also known as Tipsters, Touts, Betting Consultants, Advisors) in history have been mainly associated with Horse-Racing. These Touts would often offer advice about betting on horses in order to either; Share the winnings or Influence the Odds.
Tipping changed dramatically with the increase of 1-800 lines and underground handicappers in the USA. They used sweat shop-like phone operations to directly sell their advice to punters and sharing their winnings. Men like Steve Budin (author of "Bets, Drugs and Rock N Roll" and the Man who opened the worlds first offshore bookmaker) and Brandon Lang (aka Brandon Link, Brandon Lane, as depicted in the hit film "Two for the Money") revolutionised the sports betting industry and effectively made it what it is today.
In the present day there are absolutely hundreds upon thousands of so called "tipsters", the market is awash with new companies every day. Many fail as quickly as they start, and many punters have learned the hard way.
To break down exactly what Tipsters do; They effectively decide on the outcome of sporting events and sell this "prediction" to the public. If they predict successfully, the punters return.
