The punters had a cracking year in 2020, and rounded it out in style after dominating the highest cash profit and highest profit on turnover (POT) podiums for December.
As good as the punters went, the media experts weren't that far behind, with a few familiar faces showing their class.
Read on to find out who finished off 2020 with a bang.
Booting away at the summit to record a mammoth $9,310 in cash profit from $100 win bets was none other than BeautifulFart.
This larrikin Queenslander tipped an outrageous 103 winners in December.
Considering that they saluted at a fat average price of $7.22, this really was a special effort.
It's no wonder this bloke is one of the theGreatTipOff's most popular punters.
Securing the sliver in the cash profit category was Mattina.
This Bombers fan is a veteran here at theGreatTipOff, having been entering his tips since back in 2014.
And what his latest numbers show is that he's going as well as ever.
In December, Mattina bagged 37 winners at a mind-boggling average price of $13.64, to generate a $8,250 cash profit from $100 win bets.
This haul included $56 shot Paddlepop, that he snuck in at Kilcoy on the last day of the month.
Phenomenal tipping.
Mattina had a New Year's Eve to remember
It's always special achievement when a media expert cracks the cash profit podium, and that's exactly what happened in December.
The fact that media tipsters are typically limited to which race meets they are obligated to focus on, makes Brendan Tupper's effort all the more impressive.
The Victorian form analyst for Best Bets finished up with a fat haul of 50 winners at a terrific strike rate of 37%.
This generated a bumper $5,030 cash profit for everyone who followed Tupper's tips with $100 bets.
He's now showing 33% POT over the past 30 days, delivering plenty for his followers.
Exactly what you want from your media tipster.
Brendan Tupper is in great touch
We're heading back up to Queensland, because Boyne Island resident Bargearsehanso took out the month's top prize thanks to a bumper 78% POT.
Not only did his 14 winners greet the judge at a superb strike rate of 39%, but they also started at a juicy average price of $4.58.
It's this combination of consistency and value that will always drive a strong profit on turnover.
And considering that all of Bargearsehanso's winners came in the Sunshine State, he's one the punters will be keeping their eye on with the Magic Millions just around the corner.
Falling agonizingly short of the top spot with a 77% POT was pro punter Dave1188.
The first New South Welshman to feature in December's article, Dave1188 was seeing them like beachballs.
He bagged 24 winners at a ridiculous strike rate of 53%, to go along with a handy average price of $3.32.
With numbers like this, it's no wonder he's listed as a pro.
Rounding out the podium with an impressive 70% POT was fellow pro punter Taipan23.
This South Australian owes his success to the value he got a hold of, with his 11 winners saluting at an average price of $6.04.
There were a handful of top tips, headed by Vassilator that got home at 20/1 odds at Flemington on the 19th.
But it's Taipan23's career stats that are really something to shout about.
Since joining the site in 2019, this bloke is boasting an all-time POT of 95%.
It doesn't get much better than that.

Stellar stuff.
TheSultanofSydney is airborne!
