What Is WA TiPS?
WA TiPS specialise in form analysis of thoroughbred racing from Western Australia. We have been studying horse racing for over 30 years, and by keeping a large personal database & applying our learned knowledge, have had tremendous success in the industry.
Why?
Back in the 90's, as we progressed from being young reckless punters to more mature punters, we realised we were essentially 'guessing'. We had some idea as to how horses were going, but no real measuring stick, and even today, it is hard to find media tipsters who will provide their own assessed prices to compare with the marketplace. Over the next few years, we changed our approach to betting completely.
We also realised we had no idea as to how unraced horses were going. We began watching trials and were astounded as to how many winners we were finding at good prices. It soon became clear that trials were a goldmine for both the raced, and unraced. They are a crucial part of our analysis today.
What is our approach to betting?
We constantly look for ‘overlays’ in the marketplace to seek value for our clients. On occasion, after pricing each horse in a field, we see that one horse that stands out from the crowd. Whilst there is no such thing as a ‘good thing’, we are not afraid to inform clients when we see a horse that has been well placed, seemingly to the exclusion of all others. This may be through the identification of an un-raced horse from a series of barrier trials, or the handicapping of a race using our extensive database. More often than not, such horses are ‘value’ runners anyway. When the market & conditions allow, we will recommend Dutch betting to clients. Large fields are shied at by some analysts, but we sometimes find the opportunity to back 5 & 6 runners in such an event, often with 80-100% profit. We will not normally recommend an exotic bet, even though our clients have had success using our assessments to bet that way.
We don't bet on every race, although many of our clients do. We concur with the old adage, "You can beat a race, but you can't beat the races."
Tipping and punting are two different beasts. Tipping is what you think has the best chance - winning at punting is about finding the best value. Either way you will be wrong most of the time. If you find value you can win in the long run - if you always back what you ‘think’ will win, you will lose in the long run. It’s the same as shopping for anything else in life - if they asked you what is the world’s best car, as opposed to what car will you be driving then you’ll get two different answers - it is all about price.
Making money by betting on horses is a slow & gradual process - impatience is invariably punished. Investors in horse racing are happy to take $1000 and make $100 on that outlay whereas recreational punters will take $100 and want to make $1000. The impulsive mindset is the number one killer of the punter. There is no such thing as "the last race."
Successful betting is about finding those horses that have a better chance than their price suggests, and that is what we are identifying in our assessments by comparing our price to the market price.

THE BLACKBOOK
The Blackbook is an amazing product. It has been making profits year in and year out since 2010. It wasn't until three quarters through 2018 that a potential client asked us for documented results. Foolishly, for us, we didn't have any. We started documenting the selections in 2019 and it confirmed what we had been saying for years - the Blackbook product was extremely profitable. 2020 proved no different.
Feedback from our members who are not clients tell us that the biggest reason that they don't purchase the Blackbook is because they feel "the luck will run out" and that selections will start losing once they join. Of course there are times that the Blackbook loses for a week or two, or the results stagnate somewhat over a month or so. Anyone who knows anything about punting realises that such happenings are completely normal. That is why we recommend a designated bank and set amounts per bet. The bank size compared to bet ratio is designed to overcome the usual variance that the Blackbook experiences.
Another factor that prevents members purchasing the Blackbook is discipline. They are unable to adopt the 'set & forget' routine that the Blackbook requires day in & day out. This is unfortunate, as our long term results speak for themselves. Anyone who is sweating on the result of one particular selection or the results of one particular day just shouldn't be punting in the first place.
Sadly, we have lost a number of Blackbook clients who just had no discipline. They couldn't handle a stagnant period here and there - only for us to clean up days or weeks later. Stagnant periods or straight up losing periods are extremely frustrating - and unfortunately not all of us have the mental fortitude to see those periods out and benefit from the Blackbook long term. Only around 5% of people who gamble win long term - the Blackbook puts people in that small percentage. You can be as well............
