Thomas Pearson - Horse Racing Tipster & Professional Punter

The Smart Betting Club Podcast

In the latest SBC Podcast I am joined by a fascinating guest who's service was the at the centre of the ​latest SBC Magazine.

Thomas Pearson is the owner/operator of the service that bears his name and he has built up a very impressive record since he started his horse racing tipping in this format at the start of 2023.

Big prices, big winners and 20%+ returns to BSP have made him popular with a wide ranging audience and in this chat we discuss all aspects of his service alongside his journey to get here and possible future plans (he is your man for pool betting if you are interested in that niche!).

Thomas's Fair Odds Policy was also a big part of our chat as we went through what he does, why he does it and how this compares to the rest of the tipster market (who have no qualms in taking the best prices before markets have even formed!).

This was a brilliant chat and one that I got a lot from - I'm sure that you will too.
