Frequently Asked Questions


Please see below our most common questions we get asked about the service. Anything we haven’t covered below please email mark@giddyupbets.com and we will respond ASAP. Thanks!


How do I get the picks and analysis? +

Our first email of the week with FREE analysis and PICKS normally goes out Wednesday night containing our views for Thursdays racing. Our weekend emails with real-time updates and full in-depth thoughts & grids will go out Friday / Saturday and Sunday.

When are the selections posted? +

Selections for Thursdays racing will be posted on the site on our ‘Free analysis’ page on Wednesday. For paid subscriptions, you will receive a guide to each days racing the night before, a final thoughts mail approximately 1 hour before the first race and those signed up to the Grids will receive them approximately 15 minutes before the off. Due to the unique nature of how GiddyUp works you will also receive emails in real time as things change either on the track, in the paddock, with the weather and in the live betting markets!

How should I bet them? +

GiddyUp does not always provide specific outright picks or plays. We provide a detailed guide and real-time updates to guide you with your handicapping to land on your final plays for the day. We encourage members to combine their own thoughts with ours to get those perfect plays and PRINT MONEY!
