Independent and free racing tips and best bets

Our racing tips, the best free horse racing tips on the web, are provided by the Mayor of Thoroughbred Village. The Mayor has an imposing record of selecting attractively-priced winners. Check out the Honour Roll for his best-priced winners over the years.

Racing tips are free of charge, each and every weekend. They are posted usually after the final scratchings, around 8:00-9:00am on Saturday mornings. Set your alarm so you never forget.

Tips are based on expert form analysis using an extensive array of information and experience. Unlike other tipsters, we provide just one selection per race because let’s face it, there is only one winner!

The emphasis is on value. We try to avoid tipping favourites if there are better value bets on hand. To this end, we’ve tipped 17+ winners at odds greater than $15.

How to keep racing tips and best bets free of charge

Selections are independent and free of charge. Many other sites offer tipping packages for which you can pay a monthly subscription. However, you’ll find that no commercial services offer the consistency of results that our free service provides. If you agree and consistently make winning bets based on our tips, all we ask is that you use the bookmaker banners on this site to join up to online betting agencies.

We know there are other sites that have relationships with online bookmakers. However, we greatly appreciate if you would join up through our banners to show appreciation of our FREE tipping service as well as your support and loyalty to the village.

Villagebet punters bet with our preferred online bookmakers

Click on bookmaker banners on this site to join up and benefit from our FREE racing tips and best bets. We want to make sure you have the right information at your disposal.

Don’t have an online betting account? For your online security, it is most important that you click through the bookmaker banners on this site (not other sites) so you reach our village-preferred and trusted betting agencies. Remember, if you know a betting company that does not appear on our website, there is a reason for that! Beware, that’s all I’m saying.

Other useful information and resources for punters

The Villagebet website is full of information and resources for the punter. Betting strategies, punting advice and how to pick the winner of the Melbourne Cup are examples of the great information to help you profit from punting on horse racing. Most of all, Villagebet is a community of punters, which means you can trade secrets, seek inside information, and share your successes with people just like you.

Resources for punters

Betting on horse racing is a lot of fun, enjoyable at many different levels, and a great opportunity to beat the experts. However, it’s also a challenge that requires discipline, determination, perseverance and a willingness to work hard. I’ve outlined the pros and cons of betting on horse racing. I hope you find that the benefits, both intellectually and financially, make it worthwhile.

Lots of betting options are provided with our tips, from win and place to more complicated options. For example, have you tried multi-bets? You can combine a number of different individual bets into a single bet. It’s the latest betting option from our preferred bookmakers. Give it a try!

Have you also tried some of the more obscure betting strategies that people use? It’s definitely one way to land a sizeable dividend if you’re lucky enough!

Another perhaps less trendy way to bet is through place betting. You can get some pretty decent odds on place betting, often much better than betting on favourites to win. A good dividend is a good dividend no matter where the horse finishes in the running order.

Melbourne Cup futures market

Keep an eye on the Melbourne Cup futures market. It seems like for every week that goes by, there is some developing news in the lead-up to the Melbourne Cup. Futures betting markets are changing by the day. We are gearing up for this year’s Melbourne Cup by posting vital resources and information to help you pick the winner. Stay tuned by following our twitter account (see below) for updates.
