With Christmas only a fortnight away, plenty of punters gave their followers some extra spending money over the past week.

In fact, they dominated the media experts, who could barely register a winning tip for the most part.

While there were a few experts who cracked the top 10 for most cash profit, it was the punters who showed their class.

Biggest profit makers from the past week

One of the standout performances came from pro punter Methoman.

This New South Welshman recorded a huge profit of $6,630 from $100 win bets, after 5 of his tips got home at a fat average price of $16.26.

But it was Methoman's accuracy that really stood out.

Incredibly, he tipped with a winning strike rate of 33%.

Considering that the average price of his winners was in excess of the $15 mark, this is an outstanding effort.

And this is reflected in his POT.

Methoman finished up with a monster 442% POT. 

We haven't seen many better displays of tipping than this all year.

Also bringing in the big bucks for his followers this week was Deepspunta18.

This bloke ended up with $4,100 in cash profit, thanks to 11 winners at a meaty average price of $9.

His standout selection would have to been Etah James, which booted home at $45.90 odds in the Pakenham Cup on Saturday.

Deepspunta18's big roughie

It's always great when your go-to punter provides cracking Saturday racing tips like this.

But Deepspunta18 wasn't the only one who got a hold of Etah James.

Pro punter Nspinks3 also tipped the Pakenham cup victor, on top of three other good winners over the past seven days.

This drove a cash profit of $3,760 from $100 win bets, and a 145% POT.

Since joining the site on the 23rd of November, Nspinks3 has been in some stellar form.

After doing enough to earn a mention as one of November's tipsters of the month, he has backed that form up in December.

This is a pro punter you definitely want to be keeping your eye on.

Onto the media experts now and we're proud to reveal that it was Ben Beare who was the best of the bunch.

Beare is one of our resident tipsters, who provides his best bets for free each week.

Looking at all his selections, and Beare finished up with a whopping 34 winners, at a solid average price of $5.31

This generated a cash profit of $2,740 for everyone who followed Beare's tips with $100 bets.

The final mention of the week goes to Clint Payne from Racenet.

Given that he only tipped a handful of horses, Payne has done remarkably well to register a cash profit of $2,590 from $100 win bets.

And this was thanks to just one winner too.

Payne was all over Bobby Dee, that got home at $31.90 odds at Rosehill on Saturday.

Clint Payne knows how to tip one at odds

Followers of Payne will know that he's never afraid of going for a roughie that he deems over the odds.

This result proves that this strategy can pay dividends.
