Horse Racing BettingIf you are looking for an edge with your horse racing betting then you are going to have to put in a lot of hard work to find one. You'll have to remember that the name of the game is beating the other guys at the track, or if you are betting online then the other guys on their computer. If you can be ahead of those other players, then you are going to put yourself in a great spot to profit by the end of your session and especially at the end of your betting year.
In order to learn how to watch races and trips you are going to put some time in at the track. This is an acquired skill that has some art to it as well. When you review races make sure you are paying attention not only to your horse, but also the other horses in the field. Get out your Racing Form and project how you think the race will turn out. Then when you are watching the film try to figure out why each horse placed where they did. Horse racing betting isn't for the lazy. If you want to be successful then you have to have the will power, intelligence, time, and hard work into taking detailed notes about everything, from how the horses look heading into the post to how the trainers get their horses ready each day. This is where workouts come in. If you watch every single work you'll have a great feel for the horse, but unless you are a professional this is going to be impossible. What you need to do is have a game plan and know which trainers work their horses lightly to get them fit without showing everyone how good it is. There are other trainers out there who train their horses fast, but then the horse isn't fit enough to win a race. These are great tidbits to know. Smart players in horse racing betting know that they do not have to bet on every race. If you are looking for action on every single run then you most likely won't be ahead in the end. As far as looking for value, most horse bettors don't look to bet a 2-1 shot straight, but they'll use that runner either horizontally or vertically in the exotics. That's the best way to put the take out in your favor. You'll also want to limit your losses, but not your winnings. You'll see novices at the track betting $100 on a 3-1, but if they feel good about a 15-1 then they'll back off and only wager $20. If you really think there is value there then you should go for the jugular and not settle for less. January 5th, 2008 |
