Horse Racing Betting is not a game of luck nor it is a game where you need inside information. In this game what we need is logic to beat the bookies.This proven simple system was designed by a mathematician who knew nothing about Horse racing betting. He simply used common mathematical laws to turn a small starting stack into a fortune.
The challenge of betting on horses is to collect and analyze information and then make a sound judgment on what to bet on, What type of bet to place and how much.
There are three key factors on which your judgment should be dependent upon:
1)The odds offer (Price)
2)The value of bets (overpriced or under priced)
3)The type of bet (single, multiple, combination, etc.)
Some tips to judge an odd offer
1)The odds offer should be at least 2:1 to make it worthwhile.
2)If necessary, choose a selection with a slightly higher risk to prop up the price.
3)The value of the odds must be such that the sports book`s commission is to a minimum.
4)Some selections get `steamed` unnecessarily. When this happens, the `favorite` price lengthens. Take advantage of those situations.
5)The best place to begin when handicapping the horses is to look at the trainer and jockey. You can, however, easily pick up on trainer and jockey percentages.
6)Always go a little bit more in depth and look at horses that are suited to a particular course or a particular surface.
7)Some horses run better on grass than they do on dirt and some horses are suited to a particular distance. This last part is really true, as some horses are bred for stamina while others are bred for speed.
