One thing I've found over the years is that the tipsters usually seem to be conservative with margins. Take St Kilda Vs Carlton on the weekend. Most of the 'expert' tipsters from The Age have picked the Saints to win by about 40 points, but I reckon the majority of them probably think the margin will actually be greater than that. They're just playing it safe.

Also, there is a question of bias. Almost all expert tipsters have some sort of affiliation or leaning to some club and you always have to take that into consideration.
