Horse
Racing Gambling Tips
- Bet
only on horses you feel have a good chance of winning.
- If
you don't like a horse, don't bet on it.
- Give
preference to winners. Choose a horse that has won before.
- Avoid
betting on a horse that has just moved up in class.
- Look
for value odds as much as likely winners. If you keep looking
for them, you will learn to spot them fairly quickly.
- Look
for a horse that has a fair chance of winning and is not
overly backed. This is usually a good value bet in the long
run. On odds of say, 10:1, you need to win once in ten
attempts to break even. Anything more is net profit. Horses
backed heavily by touting services and computer handicappers
may win more often, but are usually poor value bets.
- When
the track is slow or heavy, give preference to fast starters.
Slow, muddy and heavy track conditions usually favor the horse
that takes an early lead.
- A
straight bet is simple, manageable and not too difficult to
win. Play it but always weigh up the odds. Avoid favorites and
long shots (outsiders) too. Be selective - don't bet on
anything or everything.
- When
betting straight, consider betting to win and show, or
each-way, if the odds are relatively high.
