Horse Racing Tipsters – Are They Worth Your Time & Money?

This is a somewhat awkward topic I have chosen to cover since I work for a website that offers tips on horse racing! I am personally not a tipster and admire anyone willing to risk their reputation to try and help punters earn a profit at the expense of the bookies.
