What Are Outsider Tips & Dark Horse Picks?

An outsider tip refers to a horse that’s considered an underdog — often priced at 8/1 or longer — but still has a legitimate chance of running well. Sometimes known as a dark horse, these are runners that go under the radar yet have the form, course history or conditions to surprise the field.

Unlike favourites, outsider betting is about value, not popularity. And that’s where TipMan come in!

Why Bet on Outsiders in Horse Racing?

Backing outsiders might not mean constant winners — but the profits when they land can be huge. Here’s why smart punters love betting on dark horses:

  • Better Odds = Better Returns – It only takes a few winners to be in profit
  • Bookies Miss Clues – Trainers in form, track biases, going changes
  • Each Way Value – Outsiders often sneak into places at big odds
  • Market Movers – When smart money lands on an outsider, you want to be early
How We Pick Our Outsider & Dark Horse Tips

We don’t just tip outsiders for the sake of it. The TipMan team analyse UK & Irish racecards each morning, looking for:

  • Form Analysis: Spotting signs of a bounce-back or hidden class
  • Trainer & Jockey Insight: Knowing when certain pairings strike unexpectedly
  • Conditions Matching: Finding runners suited to soft, heavy, or course-specific conditions
  • Market Moves: Identifying when the money’s coming 

Every pick is made with one thing in mind — value at the odds.
