Racing Post Reviews 171

All I can say is the updated app is over complicated and confusing, with the old app I could select 10 races and select what races I wanted in what bets with the new app that option is not there, I won’t be betting as much as before for sure

Doesn’t say who’s giving the tips so as to avoid the bad tipsters. Hardly any of the best tipped horses ever win. Massive scam by the bookies.

What a nonsense having to register with a bookmaker before a form guide
Totally sold out to bookmakers what a shame

the racing post is an extremely bookie friendly newspaper. it depends on those people for both sales and advertising. it almost went bust a few years ago due to rapidly declining sales and dwindling advertising revenue. it's rescue from the dust bin is a very strange tale indeed.
it would be the kiss of death for it to provide regular winning tips for its non-bookie readers so it doesn't.
the percentage of winning tips it from it's selections is woefully small, less probably than the world's worst pub racing genius/bore.
a good part of it's advertising revenue comes from so-called racing tipsters many of whom are on a commission from big bookies for whom the provide info. on their gullible clients.
stay well away from the RP and their sleazy experts and pundits and never bet more than you can easily afford

The comments on a horses chances in a race are so wrong and really not a good reflection on a horses real chances.No wonder though,seeing that most of these commentators are in one way or another associated with links to Betting firms. The moment any racing journalist is found to be even the remotely involved with any bookies dealings,they should be fired. It’s bad enough having to cope with bookies dodgy ways of gaining your money,than having racing papers like this try to steer you away from a horses real chances.Next time look at the write ups the Post gives for the winners of a race and you’ll be surprised at how put off you would have been if you took the posts comments to heart.It’s not a very good weapon to have in your beat the bookies armour,in fact it’s more of a hindrance if anything.Save your money.

Some interesting things can read etc, but the price is very expensive and the private members tips are usually terrible I think around 3 horses have won out of around 40 tips , cancelled pretty quickly

The old app was user friendly and contained everything you needed to know in an easy format, the updated version is absolute rubbish and steve jobs would struggle to navigate it

Good app and good guys

Sandra Gilmartin who I believe works for Paddy Power spoke a lot of nonsense about safer gambling I didn't see any opposite side of the story from my experience bookmakers do anything they can to grab your money I've had bad experiences with most of them my skybet insisted on keeping my £400 despite my notifying them I have made a mistake well before the next race ran I even offered to let them keep my winnings but return the stake not interested on two occasions Paddy Powers tried to pay me less than my bet was struck at the first time they kept about £300 the next time I'm because the area manager was informed he paid me the extra £100 that they tried to Rob me of 99.9% of betting shop people I'm not interested if you lose they get bonuses so why would they you won't see this review in the headlines

The Racing Post make misleading claims regarding their tpsters, maintaining theyre Experts, Top, Leading etc in their field. Non show a profit which shows how little repect they have for their subscribers. The cards & results etc are really great. Its just the sad writers who think they know how to tip a winner.Tthey dont care if they tip losers, they still get paid.

Information is good but after paying £360 I don’t expect to be distracted by pop up ads

James Crompton At Customer Services Racing Post very professional & very helpful .

Other than pricewise its very poor . The Irish articles have the insight of 1950's radio .
Needs a complete clear out other than PW (TS)

Hate to give this rating but you can just drop the C and D figures off the racecard and not expect anyone to notice! you did this a few years ago and it messed up for you them...I am sporting life now...sorry your done and had your chanches...

The paper is excellent but some of the tipping is awful. Price wise extra is terrible except for some nuggets from segal every now and then. If kealys tip wins today I’ll eat my hat, and they call him ace tipster.
Segal and Collins the best

I followed their free tips for 1 week betting on the horse they tipped and I ended up with a loss. Then what's the point of paying for their tips? When I was betting on randomly chosen favourites chosen by myself I had a small profit.

Sad you stopped publishing - you will be back !
