tip
A tip (often also tip , according to the English and earlier German spelling) describes advice or useful information today .
Origin of meaning
Tip was borrowed from the English “tip” (“hint”, “secret information”, “wink”) at the end of the 19th century and was initially used in the field of stock exchanges and horse racing. Since the 20th century, the verb to tap has also generally been used to describe the process of making a prediction in a game of chance .
Insider tip describes information among insiders from a limited group of participants. This can apply to all areas of life. The terms "insider tip", "extra tip" or "insider tip" are often used by magazines and travel guides to advertise supposedly exclusive information. Paradoxically, as a result, they lose their possibly existing status as an “insider tip”. The term "insider tip" is less contradictory when it is understood as "tip from insiders" (and not for insiders).
