Meet January's best horse racing tipsters

As the National Hunt world begins to cast half an eye towards the Cheltenham Festival in six weeks time, January’s Best Horse Racing Tipster rankings showcase some of those services that have hit the ground running in 2025.

Just click on the links for more information about each tipster, and for details of any introductory discounts that are currently available. 

10th Little Horses

  • 61 tips, 38.4% ROI, £469 profit

We kick off our top ten with Little Horses, who has regularly made his presence known on this main leaderboard since first impressing as one of our best new tipsters in the back half of 2023, thanks to a strategy aimed at identifying overpriced race-winner tips at average advised odds in excess of 12/1. 

Anyone following his 15-20 tips per week has been enjoying a very lucrative period, with January’s 38% yield crowning five straight double-digit monthly gains, with each month more profitable than the previous one.

9th Cinzano Kid

  • 56 tips, 40.6% ROI, £454 profit

In ninth spot Cinzano Kid has celebrated the start of the new year with the second-best monthly return of his 18-month stint on Tipstrr, with January clearing over £450 of clear profit.

A solid reliable tip volume that rarely wavers from between 50-60 a month is enough to keep most bettors happy without putting too much strain on resources, while January’s 20% win rate married up nicely with average advised odds of more than 7/1.

8th Shrewd Tips

  • 108 tips, 41.7% ROI, £901 profit

A regular visitor to these leaderboards, Shrewd Tips has been living up to his name since first gracing the Tipstrr site more than five years ago, suffering just four monthly drawdowns since the beginning of 2022. 

Another tipster to operate without the benefit of an each-way safety net, average advised odds just shy of 8/1 have not stopped him producing an all-the-more-impressive 19% win rate, taking his winnings over the £5K mark since this time last year.

7th Interesting Method

  • 29 tips, 49.4% ROI, £286 profit

The diverse service of Interesting Method does not explain what makes his strategy so fascinating, but whatever it is, his combination of each-way singles and occasional accumulators has been trending in a healthy direction since first launching in May 2023.

The latter half of 2024 might have proved something of a struggle, but the way he has bounced back with January’s 49% yield illustrates the resilience of a strategy that appears to have long-term mileage.

6th EachWay Profits

  • 91 tips, 46.9% ROI, £852 profit

EachWayProfits has been building a solid platform of long-term growth since first setting up shop on Tipstrr at the back end of 2023, and although January’s 8% win rate might look scant at first glance, his 35% each-way place rate was the foundation of a 46% ROI that converted to more than £850 of profit.

With tips invariably published early in the morning, EWP’s each-way selections give plenty of time to place bets, while also qualifying for BOG, which is always an important consideration for such a high-odds strategy.

5th Barreto

  • 29 tips, 47.1% ROI, £273 profit

We always like to welcome new faces to our monthly leaderboards, and Barreto celebrates the first full year of his service with what seems to be a long-overdue debut appearance.

Amid a plethora of high-odds each-way specialists, Barreto operates at the other end of the betting spectrum, identifying value at the top of the betting market, but compensating for those low odds with a whopping 52% win rate that yielded a tidy 47% ROI last month.

4th Underdog Racing Tips

  • 111 tips, 65.4% ROI, £1,451 profit

Fresh from being crowned as 2024’s Best Horse Racing Tipster, Underdog Racing Tips has kicked off his defence with a third straight top-5 appearance in our monthly rankings after an incredible 24th consecutive profitable month since January 2023.

A strategy based on reacting to market movement means that the prices of his popular tips can often drop quickly, which might not suit all betting tastes, but most punters have been suited by January’s 9% win rate and 29% place rate that combined with average odds of more than 16/1 to add over £1400 to the kitty.

3rd Best 2

  • 37 tips, 80.6% ROI, £596 profit

After announcing his arrival as Best New Tipster runner-up in October (55% ROI), Best 2 has now completed eight straight profitable months since launching in June, all thanks to an ability to identify each-way value from all over the betting market.

January’s seven winners from 37 selections included a range of prices from a 5/2 favourite right up to a whopping 33/1 outsider, and they combined with a further five each-way places to secure a best-yet 80% monthly ROI.

2nd Door 3 

  • 63 tips, 87.1% ROI, £1,097 profit

Just one month after finishing 5th on December’s Best New Tipsters leaderboard (33% ROI), Door 3 has kicked off 2025 with an even bigger flourish than he finished 2024, thanks to a simple but effective each-way approach.

A whopping 33/1 winner was the perfect way to bring in the New Year, while another 10 winners (including further 33/1 and 25/1 shots) were backed up by nine each-way places for an overall 34% strike rate that translated to more than £1K in clear profit. 

1st The Banker

  • 59 tips, 89.0% ROI, £1,050 profit

After making our annual Best Tipster leaderboard for the fourth straight year in 2024, it’s no surprise to see TheBanker kickstarting 2025 in similar profitable fashion.

The Banker's practice of publishing his selections at the same time every day (around 9pm the night before racing) makes it ideal for anyone who prefers a simple manageable service, and gives a flavour of the professional service that remains a jewel in Tipstrr’s crown.

Providing race-winner tips at double-digit prices more akin to an each-way pundit requires an expert eye for value, but despite those odds, The Banker managed to achieve a mouth-watering 26% win rate last month, accruing a mammoth 89% yield and boosting his subscribers’ betting bank by more than £1000. 

So congratulations again to The Banker for seeing off the challenge of January’s high-quality field, and we also want to acknowledge the many other services who might not have made the frame this time around, but who nevertheless remain a valued part of the Tipstrr community.

*All profits calculated to £20 level stakes
