I don't know that it is really showing your hand - all the other punters know is that someone has tipped a particular runner. It could be a tipping service, a newspaper tipster, one of the tipsters from sky or a guy at the pub for all we know. All I can say is that you would have to be a bit foolish to put money on the TAB so early before you know what the odds will be but you would have to be an even bigger fool to follow that money on the assumption that it is a good tip!
