OLBG data puts tennis top for tipsters outside football and racing

OLBG says tennis generated the most tipster activity outside football and horse racing on its platform, after analysing community selections posted between 18 September 2025 and 17 September 2026.

The company said 3,451 tipsters posted more than 2.5 million tips across 22 sports during the 12-month period. Outside the two largest categories, tennis led with 151,023 tips, followed by basketball (105,098) and baseball (74,405). Ice hockey was close behind on 73,568 tips.

OLBG’s figures also show material volumes in darts (59,766), with handball and volleyball each attracting more than 54,000 tips. Cricket and snooker both passed 47,000 tips, while rugby union, American Football, rugby league and golf each recorded more than 24,000 tips. Boxing generated 23,750 tips.

At market level, OLBG said tipsters posted selections across 92 different betting markets during the period, which it positioned as evidence of engagement across the year rather than around only major events.

An OLBG spokesperson said:

“Football and horse racing naturally account for a significant amount of the activity within our community, but the depth of interest beyond those two sports is particularly interesting.

“Seeing more than 150,000 tennis tips, over 100,000 basketball tips and tens of thousands of selections across sports such as darts, cricket, snooker, ice hockey and handball demonstrates just how broad the sporting knowledge within the OLBG community is.

“For us, it is a great reflection of the international sporting calendar and the range of interests represented by our tipsters. There is a huge amount happening across sport throughout the year, and our community is engaging with far more than just the biggest headline events.”
