2006 Betting Tip Results

This year was not our greatest ever for tips and it just shows how fickle sport is. Several players we tipped one week, came out and won the next so it was quite frustrating. We always try to find value in our tips rather than go for the obvious winners at low odds and this year the outsiders had it tough.

There were however several highlights with two 80/1 places and a 50/1 place from our own Justin Rose - more to come from him next year we think. Despite this year's loss, over the first 4 years of our tips we are still up over £2300 so hopefully we can increase this in 2007.

Shown below is the performance of our tips based on a nominal £20 bet per week (£20 win or £10 each way (E/W) based on a quarter odds for first 5 finishers).
