Free horse racing tips — Thursday, 8 October 2026
PuntHub publishes several automated systems free every morning, usually by 8am UK time. Every selection is recorded here before racing, and yesterday's results are published in full below — the winners and the losers.
Today's free selections
Published before racing. Odds are those available when the selection went up and will move.
A single free sample from Betty Lays: the one runner Betty's model rates least likely to win that day, laid on the Betfair Exchange.
One free sample a week, not one a day. The day is picked in advance from a fixed seed based on the week number, so it lands somewhere between Monday and Thursday and nobody — us included — chooses it after seeing the card. If Betty has no qualifying runner that day, the sample moves to the next qualifying day up to Thursday; if nothing qualifies all week, we publish the week with no selection rather than reaching for one.

Recent days
Are these free horse racing tips actually free?
Yes. Everything on this page costs nothing and needs no account. These are PuntHub's own automated systems, published openly every morning with their results recorded afterwards. There is no upsell attached to them and no locked channel behind them.
Why publish the losers too?
Because a record that only shows winners is not a record. Every selection published here is settled and left on the page, win or lose, and each day keeps a permanent dated permalink so nothing can quietly disappear.
What is a lay bet?
Laying is betting that a selection will not win. You accept someone else's bet on the Betfair Exchange, so you collect their stake when the horse loses and pay out when it wins. The amount you can lose is the liability, and it is larger than the amount you stand to win. Our full guide to lay betting works through the arithmetic with an example.
Can these be placed automatically?
Some of them, yes — through xCloudBot, which places Betfair bets from a tip feed into your own account. The systems that run this way are marked above.
How do these differ from the paid tipsters?
These systems are free and automated. The subscription services are separate: each has its own verified bet ledger going back to its first ever bet, and each is ranked by verified ROI on the tipster table. Unfamiliar terms are explained in the betting glossary.
Selections are information, not betting advice, and no system can guarantee a profit. Past results do not predict future ones. Never stake more than you can afford to lose. 18+ · BeGambleAware.org
