With the growth in online gambling and betting there are many people who have tried their luck and lost out. The Progambler Good Tipster Guide 2008 provides a route map through what are still extremely murky waters to embrace undreamt of financial opportunities. Those smarter converts to online betting will not want to remain losers indefinitely and will seek out professional help of the independent kind given in this publication. The more informed an impression one has about the nature and ways of the betting game, the more likely the chance of succeeding over the long-term.

Through his unequalled research and work within the gambling world, Greg Gordon has identified three new emerging groups of bettors: gambling investors looking to build an alternative portfolio, cash rich but time poor sports fans who enjoy a bet but have limited time to study form and do research, and lastly, and possibly the most interesting sector is women. All these groups are looking for reliable, independent and accessible advice and this book will provide a clear and enthustiastic guide to what can be a very confusing and daunting subject.

Whether the reader is a serious investor looking to build an alternative gambling-based portfolio or a fun weekend punter looking to turn a profit on a habitually losing hobby, there is a service available for them - the trick is finding that service that suits both the investment expectations and the bettor's pocket. The Progambler Good Tipster Guide 2008 details all the services available as well as the scams, mistruths and manipulations that give tipsters such a bad name. There will be a checklist of questions that should be asked of a prospective service, the potential pitfalls to watch out for and the assurances one should seek before cash is exchanged.

Greg Gordon scrutinises the whole cacophony of gambling services and companies available to the everyday pundit and provides a section detailing exactly what one should do to get the most out of betting.

The majority of the guide is in-depth reports on 25-30 leading tipsters covering most mainstream sports and racing. The individual essays will include a detailed record of their selections during the period monitored, and a full analysis of their results as subjected to a variety of tests.
