Question How do you sex a tortoise

Hello can someone tell me how they sex their tortoises I look on some of these pictures of peoples tortoises and all of you have a dead set opinion and for me it is completely 50/50 can you give me some general tips on how to sex a tortoise. I know things like the tail will be longer and a female will have a star or something or a V. Thats about it.

this is a good start http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/for...ad.php?t=23365 but it doesn't actually explain why you can tell one is male and the other female
