Tipsters are usually always just people who either don't have the money to gamble themselves or don't dare to. Even people who are relatively good tipsters will still lose money in the longrun but anyone can be their own tipster if you just spend a bit of time studying the markets before you bet but as with all gambling most of the time you wil lose. If you were such a great tipster you wouldn't need to offer tips for measley sums you would just gamble yourself whilst you sit in your mansion counting your money.
