Tipstar - www.tipstar.co.uk

The idea of http://tipstar.co.uk/ is to combine sports news with sports betting advice. I'm a keen sports better myself and I think Tipstar is an excellent concept. For a website that's only just been, Tipstar is really innovative and packed with information about major sport events and the latest betting information.

Tipstar's not a bookmaker but a website which allows users to research and discuss sports events. They can then interact with each other and share information on how to bet with the best possible odds. It also allows you to buy and sell tips, make predictions and compare your scores with other players. What's great about the site is that it provides the users with a very detailed analysis of all the sport events. For example, if you're interested in horse racing, the website gives you details of all horse races taking place in the UK on a given day (time + location), information about the runners, course overview and a list of top predictors.

All this information helps people like me place a bet which is great cause it makes Tipstar perfect for beginners as well as for experienced sports betters. Also, the fact that less experienced users can buy tips from the industry experts make the site beneficial for anyone, regardless of their experience.

Another thing I was quite impressed with was the layout - most betting sites I've used before looked unprofessional and were cluttered with ads and pop-ups but Tipstar's layout is very slick and clear which makes it easy to navigate.

Registration is free of charge and Tipstar doesn't ask for your card details unless you wish to buy tips from a tipster.

The site allows a registered user to make predictions and sell them whether you are a pro or not - you can even determine what price you sell your tips for and the system gives you a score and percentage depending on how accurate your predictions are. Which I think is really useful for people new to the sports betting game and helps people like me to select the best tips.

The website provides information on all major UK sports such as football, horse racing, tennis and greyhounds.
