Who Could It Be?
 

Who is the "tipster" who has been given the moniker: "William H. Macy?"
Hint: William H. Macy starred in a movie about gambling and played the part of a "Jonah" or "mock" who was employed by the casino boss to stand next to winning punters and subsequently destroyed their run of luck and the house recouped all it's losses.
Anyone seen the movie and have any suggestions regarding the identity of our "mystery tipster?"
To my knowledge he is not a current contributor to this forum.
All contributions/ guesses welcome.
All in good fun.

William H Macy also played the comedic racetrack authority who had a show called "clockers corner" in the movie Seabiscuit. He would go about the track snooping for scoops for his show in his "breaking news" segment.

I think it could be a tipster who is also a clocker.

MY GUESS?
 

Its not that **** bookie who writes for the DAILY TELEGRAPH is it?.

darky.

movie called "the cooler".

William H. Macy certainly bats well above his average there! anyone who has seen it will know the tight blond i refer to. hehe.

As to my guess who the cooler is ........ No idea.

This same "tipster" has been alleged to be on retainer from major trainers NOT to tip their horses.


Cheers,

Real Deal-that's right, the movie is "The Cooler."
darky-no, it's not him.
blacksnake-yeah, I heard that too-you're getting close!
You must admit this bloke is the most consistent tipster we have seen for a while-notice that I said "consistent" not "most successful!"
Hint: This bloke is certainly in "The Know."
More thoughts/guesses welcome.

Cheers.

I know of one mad gambling racing journo who always gets the good oil but always puts the winners as second or third pick with only the shorties on top.

Hint: conducted tours to the Japan Cup ;)

CP- No, I dont think it's him although I am trying to remember who that tour host was...any more hints?
I'll give you another hint for my entity- he is a "megastar" in Sydney radio.

Cheers.

Valvoline, you know what I mean ?

No Stix, sorry mate....I meant another super/mega/star.
As I said he is the most consistent tipster in the media-lately, none of his tips get up!

Cheers.

Must be one of the callenders!

No, it's not them mate...although, Richie is a "big" personality/star.

Cheers.

He certainly has "The Knack" for tipping losers.

Blacksnake

Yeah blacksnake,

He is certainly "The King" in that area.

Cheers.

My hint is he is the Melbourne equal of Max Presnell.

To your hint, he is in the know but also a mega radio personality.

Would it be either one of the FBI or indeed Max himself???

ok speed round or double money says Nikki Osborne (show sucks)

If something's not valley-er it's..........

Rhymes with Villier.

:D

No, sorry CP,

This personality is "truly keen" to provide winners to followers but so far all he has done is empty their bank accounts.
Maybe better days ahead!

Cheers.

big bad keith hellier?

I think thats his name?

No CP,

Some people think that Friday the 13th is "Black Friday."
The colleagues of this bloke tremble each and every Friday when this bloke gives his "tip."(refer to blacksnake's comments in an earlier thread).

Cheers.

Xanadu,

The problem might be too knotty. Perhaps you can give another clue.

Blacksnake

OK blacksnake,

Let's be Truly Kind to this tipster and see how he goes in the immediate future.

Cheers.

Let's be a " Truly Kindred" spirit and hope that this tipster's fortunes greatly improve in the immediate future!

Cheers.

Xanadu,

Has he tipped anything in the Golden Slipper? I missed him today.

Blacksnake

No blacksnake,

As we know...he("The Cooler") stopped Upper Echelon last week but.....!
Be afraid....be very afraid....he tipped:
SR5 2 Railings
I liked this runner too...but what do I do now?

Cheers.

Well...what can you say?
Railings was ridden a terrific race by D. Beadman but we had to carry "the cooler" didn't we(2nd $1.7plNSW)?

Cheers.

TFK is nothing more than a sports journalist. It's not as if he is trying to preach an ************ opinion - he knows that he is just an average joe punter like most of us, and tries to pick something at odds each week. It isn't even on racing some of the time. Anybody that has "emptied their bank account" on his tips has no one to blame but themselves.

If we hunting down so-called "media tipsters," at least have a go at some who legitimately claim to be experts, who consistently pick short-priced horses as their 'best on the card" and consistently lose. I'd guess a lot more "bank accounts" would be emptied on these jokers.

Who is the tipster?
