Ben Linfoot has to be the worst tipster on the internet, what a clueless bufoon. He disgraces Sporting Life.

racing tips …

On the racing tips page I placed 10 horses they recommended between 2 lucky 31 and not one came in. Not sure who's tipping but it as got worse. I won't use there tips anymore. I will stick with The Racing App.

If your looking for a tip dont use these muppets. Nearly every race there 3 tips are 1st fav 2nd fav and 3rd fav. More chance with being blindfolded and sticking a pin in the paper than using there tipster. Your new name is Mr Fav Everytime

I have just watched the 14.10 at Newbury, i backed Wanees with Jim Crowley aboard, he got in the middle of the pack and sat there made no effort at all to move forward. Punters want to back triers not a jockey getting a fee for a leisurely ride out.

Very frustrating

Very frustrating, inventory system is not accurate. Ski boots on final sale (no return) in stock (apparently) in Toronto. Living in Collingwood, asked if they could deliver to the store in Collingwood to try on. No - due to Covid; but suggest we drive to Toronto. Stupid us - my sister drove down. Guess what - not in stock!

Incompetence or Cheating.

Incompetence or Cheating.. These Sporting Life tipsters appear to be working with the bookies. The daily double gets printed in CAPITAL letters to highlight them. Everyday.! too much for coincidence these 2 best horses of the day finish 8th or 6th and don't even nearly run..Everyday. The best horses of the day are the worst in the race far too many times..Sick of wasting my money following there advice. They are either working with bookies or don't actually know what there doing. Followed these selections since last year..Its so poor

The freezing website!

Thankfully there are other respondents having the same problems I have. Since they "upgraded" the website it freezes regularly and you have to turn it off and bring it back up. What a shame as I love the site and I have e-mailed a few times to let them know but I am afraid it has not improved! Sad

Sporting Life Signed it's own death…

Sporting Life Signed it's own death warrant!!!
The only reason they get 1 star is that it's needed to write the review.
Was in the New Large High End sporting goods store yesterday looking for a ski helmet.
I was told that the selection is low and I would have a better chance of finding what i wanted if I went on-line.
Once home & on-line I started looking for helmets.....
click on Ski gear > Opens new menu of All ski gear > Click on Helmets > Opens new menu to shop by Gender!!!!! > O.K. > Click & once window opens the ONLY CHOICES are for "Kids" > "Women" & "Unisex."

There IS NO LISTING FOR MEN.............
Men have NOW BECOME UNISEX.......... NO MALES..... MEN ARE NOW CATEGORIZED AS "UNISEX"!!!!!

Why do Women have their OWN gender Setting, while men DO NOT..... Please Explain.... Please!
Are women's heads shaped differently then a Mans?
Why Just Eliminate and replace the word "Man" as a gender classification?
Why Not also remove the word "Women" as a gender classification and only have 2 listings for "Kids" & Unisex?"
Why Not Just ADD the word "Unisex" to the gender classification list, to actually make it ALL Inclusive?!!?
That would be the RIGHT THING TO DO!
Shame on ALL THOSE @ Sporting Life INVOLVED IN THAT DESICION.

The new website design is awful.

The new website design is awful.Huge pictures with no words and then the ‘headlines’ in tiny print with so much wasted white screen. It wasn’t that good before but it is so bad now that I have stopped using it at all.
