Horse Racing Betting Basics

To begin with, horse racing betting is an activity which needs the individual to have good number of gray cells, as you need to give a lot of thought to it. You need to do a lot of homework, and analysis of the horses in the race and the bets put on them. This has to be done consistently to develop a good horse betting strategy. There are other factors which need to be considered while betting on a horse. For instance, anyone interested in betting should pay close attention to the fitness of the horse. Even primary or a general information about the fitness level of the horses concerned, can be helpful while betting on horse racing. Furthermore, take a close look at horse you want to bet on. Get to know everything about the horse. For a viable and feasible horse betting strategy, check out the training as well as the previous race performances of that particular horse. Keep in mind that there is some problem if the horse has not been a part of a race for several months. Before you place any serious wager on the horse, just check whether the horse has undergone any new training program, which it has been exposed to prior to any of its wins. It is also important to know how effective that training has been. Another horse racing betting tip is the length of a particular race. Thus, a person betting on a horse needs to know what are the distances that horse excels in and accordingly plan his or her strategy. Hence, if a horse is known to be excellent for short distances, it would be foolish to bet on him for long distance races.

Horse Racing Betting System

Horse racing betting systems and strategies apart from factors related to the horse are also dependent on financial systems like hedging and arbitrage. Hedging refers to betting on multiple outcomes in a race and arbitraging refers (in this context) to laying the horse at a low price and backing it at a higher price. These systems are very important while determining a horse betting racing strategy. Here are a few horse racing betting systems.

Speed Selection Betting System: This betting system involves eliminating horses for betting, on the basis of several criteria. These are -

  • Discard the thought of betting on horses whose last 2 races were not on the same track as the current race you want to bet on.
  • Avoid playing any race with more than 2 first time starters.
  • Even if there is a difference of only a furlong (more or less) in the current race and the last race of a horse, avoid betting on that horse.
  • If the horse was not leading or was not within 3 lengths of the leader at every call in his last race, eliminate the thought of betting on that horse.
  • If the last two races of the horse were on a different surface, do not even consider the horse for betting.Horse Racing

 Dutch Betting System: Not a handicapping method, this betting system is employed to cover a number of horses in a race. The basic premise of the system being, the more horses you bet on, the higher possibility of winning you have.

Points Based Horse Betting System: By now I guess you must have got a hang of horse racing betting terms, at least on a primary level. So moving on, this betting system entails betting on horses and giving points to them according to the following horse racing betting rules. Some of those rules are -

  • A horse whose trainer has a 10% winning percentage, gets 2 points.
  • Check out the last 2 races of each horse and then add the total length by which each of them was defeated. It counts as nil, if the horse won the race. The horse with the lowest number in this process, will get 3 points.
  • Add a point for the horse, if his last race was on turf and the current is a route race on dirt.
  • A horse with a jockey having a 10% winning rate or better, wins 1 point.Horse Racing

 There are many more intricacies and nitty-gritty involved in horse racing betting, this was just a teaser of it.

Ultimately, there is no universal horse racing betting tip which is foolproof and ensures a 100% win. The same holds true for horse racing betting strategy. It is after all, a gamble, a risk. You cannot claim to have found the best horse betting strategy, because you cannot win 10 out of 10 times, when you gamble. It is a game of luck, people. But that does not mean that you do not do your homework and bet on the right horse! I bet that after this, you would not be betting without giving it a serious thought! This is where I sign off! All The Be(s)t!

By admin On December 22nd, 2011 in Race Course /

Internet has made various aspects of our life much easier and convenient. Whether it is banking, shopping or pleasure pursuits like horse race betting. A number of horse races take place all around the world everyday and with these races a number of people loose and win large amounts of money everyday. Earlier people had to go to the racecourse to bet on a horse but with the advent of internet, things have become simpler, especially for people who do not have any race course nearby.Let us find out which is better, race course betting or online horse racing betting.

The racetrack features a unique all weather racing surface, known as a cushion track, as it is the first of its kind in Australia. This $6 million investment shows the important and popularity of horse racing in Queensland. This has provided a huge boost to its capacity and capability to provide the best training and racing facilities,Race Course even though there is a lot of local rainfall. The Sunshine Coast Racecourse has some of the best lighting available, as there are 960 lights and 40 towers, with the tallest measuring 42m. The lighting system has approximately 2 million watts of power and cost $7.3 million to implement. Racing under the lights is a magnificent thing to experience and be a part of!

The racetrack prevailed, though, and discussions with council on the terms of the lease were finalized in June 1982. Construction work commenced, employing day labor the construction and development. Supervisions was overseen by the Club incorporation. The demand for this racecourse was so high, that in 1983 the membership register was ruled off at 1,000. This was the highest per capita of any racing club in Australia. The SCTC operates in one of the fastest growing areas of Australia, and in one of Australia’s favorite tourist destinations. The Sunshine Coast population is almost 300,000 and is projected to increase to 500,000 over the next 20 years. The first day race took place on Thursday 25th July 1985, featuring seven races. The first horse to ever win was Mister Omega, ridden R Quinton and trained by Brain Tattam.

In the case of race course betting, one can see the horses running live. Placing a bet here is better as you can yourself check which horse is better. On the other hand, while betting online, you cannot see the horse you are placing the bet on. Therefore there is less assurance. When you the see the horse yourself you can check whether the horse is healthy and strong enough to win a race, while in an online betting you cannot do this. In case of race course betting one can bet anytime. This facility was not available in race course betting. One could do it only during a stipulated time. But with online betting there are no limitations. One can play 24/7. Now even professional who did not get time to do this earlier, can participate in horse race betting whenever they are free.

The 28th Breeders’ Cup: How To Play 7 Of The 15 Races

By admin On December 10th, 2011 in Horse Trainer, Horseman, Hurdle Race, Race Course /

Fifteen Breeders’ Cup contests, one more than last year, is just too many to wager on even if they’re spread over two days. Like 2010, I will concentrate on classy horses with good recent form and wager on seven races.The weather could be a factor, at least on Friday, but the forecasters have been hedging their bets. What had been a 30 percent chance of rain for Louisville dropped to 10 percent on Tuesday.The last time Churchill Downs had an off track for BC races was when it played host for the first of seven times back in ’88 when there were only seven contests. That Nov. 5 it was drizzling while the main track ranged from muddy to sloppy. The turf course was rated good.Two of the five female BC races on Friday caught my eye as well as the first running of the Juvenile Sprint, the first BC race added since ’08.

The standout in the six-furlong race is undefeated Secret Code, who won both his sprints “in hand.” The son of Eddington is the only sophomore boasting a triple-digit speed figure average. My trifecta key will have three horses underneath:Seeker, Sum Of The Parts and Vexor.The Juvenile Fillies at 1 1/16 miles is an All-American race as foreign invaders have never visited the winner’s circle. I’m using a trio of 2-year-olds in an exacta:

Grace Hall, impressive winner of two stakes, is bred to go long; My Miss Aurellia, who sports the best dirt speed figure, took Belmont’s Frizette in a hand ride; andWeemissfrankie, victorious in Santa Anita’s Oakleaf.The Ladies’ Classic under the lights is a wide-open Grade 1 at 1 1/8 miles. So I’m using four distaffers in exotic wagers, including three that have knocked heads since the summer: It’s Tricky, Plum Pretty and Royal Delta, all with at least a victory against each other. I’m adding Ask The Moon, who can shake loose on the lead and has triumphed four times on an off track.

On Saturday’s card, I’m trying my luck in four of nine contests starting with the six-furlong Sprint. I’m using in an exacta defending champ Big Drama, lightly raced this year; front-running Giant Ryan, who led by the stretch in five of his last six straight wins; and fast-closing longshot Aikenite.

My exacta in the Juvenile at 1 1/16 miles will include three 2-year-olds. All have run well in routes, led by Creative Cause, who captured the Grade 1 Norfolk at Santa Anita; Drill, the Norfolk runner-up; and undefeated Union Rags, who triumphed three times as he stretched out.

The Dirt Mile is the most competitive on the card. My exotic bets will include front-running Preakness champ Shackleford, who has been training nicely; speedster The Factor, who could get loose on the rail; fast-closing Caleb’s Posse, who nosed out Classic starter Uncle Mo in the King’s Bishop at Saratoga; andWilburn, going for his fourth straight since August.

In the 1 ¼-mile Classic I’m going to use a quartet of starters in exotic wagers:Flat Out, a multi-stakes winner with tactical speed that has been working extremely well at Churchill Downs; Stay Thirsty, the Travers champ; Havre de Grace, the top filly that whipped males in the Woodward at Belmont; and To Honor and Serve, the improving Pennsylvania Derby victor.
