Horse Racing Tips FAQ

Everything punters and prospective members ask us most. If your question isn't here, email hello@thegallop.uk.

How many tips do you post each day?

Usually one to four on a race day, posted to members in our private Telegram channel as soon as they're ready, mostly in the morning from about 8am. Big meetings can bring more. Some days there's nothing worth backing, and then there's no bet.

Are the tips free?

No. Tips go to members of The Gallop Premium, which is £25 a month or £250 a year. The results are free for anyone to see on our results page, and you can sign up for a free results email that arrives every Sunday evening.

How are the tips chosen?

By form study: ratings, going, draw, trainer and jockey patterns, and how the market moves on the day. Every tip comes with a price, a stake in points and, for each-way bets, the place terms.

How do I receive the tips?

In our private members' Telegram channel. After you join, your welcome email has your personal invite link. Members can also choose to get the tips by email from the members area.

What stakes do you use?

Stakes are in points, from half a point up to 5 points, and 3 points is the most common. You decide what a point is worth. We suggest a betting bank of 200 points; the staking guide explains why.

What is BOG and how does the record use it?

Best Odds Guaranteed means a winning bet is paid at the bigger of the price you took and the starting price. Our record settles every bet that way: at the advised price or the starting price, whichever is bigger. Not every bookmaker offers BOG, and some restrict it, so your own returns can differ.

How do each-way tips work?

Each-way tips say so, with the stake per part: 2pts e/w means 2 points to win and 2 points to place, 4 points in all. When a bookmaker is paying extra places, the tip says how many to take. The record settles each-way bets on standard UK place terms, or on the extra places we advised.

How do you publish results?

Every tip is settled against the official result after the race and shown on our results page, winners, placed horses and losers alike, with the running total in points. Anyone can see it; no login is needed.

How long is your record?

Our published record starts on 15 October 2025 and includes every priced tip posted to members since then. Tips before October 2026 were compiled from the members' channel, with each result checked against the official returns. New tips are now recorded automatically the moment they're posted.

Do you tip Irish racing?

Yes, when there's a bet worth having. Most tips are on British racing, with Irish meetings such as Punchestown, Leopardstown and the Curragh in the mix, plus the odd big international meeting.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, at any time, with no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Use Manage Subscription in the footer of any page. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.

What if a month loses?

On the monthly plan, if any month (from your payment date to the day before the next one) isn't in profit on our published results, your next month is free. We work it out from the results page, in points at the stakes we advise, and take it off your next payment automatically. It applies every month. It's a promise about your subscription, not a guarantee of profit.

Is The Gallop regulated?

We don't take bets, so we aren't licensed by the Gambling Commission. We publish opinion and analysis for adults aged 18 and over, and you place your own bets with a licensed bookmaker. Our pages carry the National Gambling Helpline number and a link to BeGambleAware, and our responsible gambling section links to GAMSTOP, which lets you self-exclude from online gambling in Great Britain.
