0 a person who gives information to people, usually in exchange for money, especially about the likely winner of a race or competition, or who gives information to an official organization, especially about someone who has done something wrong: --
An anonymous tipster has leaked confidential government information to the press.
He proposes the practical abolition of the racing tipster.
The test of the tipster is that he backs the horses which he advises others to back.
It is rather like the racing tipster giving not just the first three horses, but the first six and the distance between each.
One knows all about racing tipsters, and one sees the reason for their existence.
Neither of those tips have credited me as a worthwhile tipster.
I do not regard him as one of the best tipsters in that respect.
The moment they hold them up as a principal inducement, they are approaching the status of a professional tipster.
He is, in fact, to become a racing tipster.
