Should You Buy a Horse Racing Betting System or Try to Teach Yourself How to Handicap
Posted: Sep 01, 2010 |
]]>
I’ve been teaching people how to handicap horse races for years and one of the questions I often hear is, “Why should I have someone teach me how to handicap horse races?” That is a fair question and the answer is that I can help you to learn faster than if you try to discover all the things I have learned over the years. I don’t have all the answers and I don’t have an automatic system that makes pots of money, but I do know some things about horse racing that you may not know.
If you are trying to learn how to handicap and make money at the horse races, you have probably already discovered how difficult it is. You may be wondering if it will ever be easy. I can tell you from past experience that it never gets easy. The world keeps changing and what worked five years ago may not work today.
A great example of that is speed figures. Years ago, when they were unknown to all but a few mathematical geniuses, just working out speed figures and using them to spot winners was enough to make a profit at the horse races. Now speed figs are common knowledge and you can no longer make money just betting the horse with the highest speed figures.
As I said earlier, things keep changing. There are trends that come and go and you have to be aware of them. One of the best ways is to keep notes, but before you start taking notes, you have to know what it is you’re supposed to be watching, That is something you can figure out on your own or learn. If you buy a horse racing betting system, it should teach you some of the important factors in horse racing and how to use them in a meaningful way to pick more winners.
But let me warn you ahead of time, there are a lot of systems you can buy. Some are good and others are worthless. You have to be realistic in what you expect and realize that while someone can teach you horse racing factors and ways to look at races you may not have thought of, no one can make you a successful horse racing handicapper. That is something you alone can do and it takes hard work. How you go about doing it is completely up to you. You can try to teach yourself everything, or learn what you can from other people and then apply it in your own unique way.

Learn a System of Handicapping Horse Races That Suits Your Personality
I have said it so many times, I feel like a broken record, but it really is true. One size does not fit all and no single horse racing system can work for every person who uses it. The first point I’d like to make about horse racing systems is a very important one and once you read it, you may decide whether you want to read any farther. To the best of my knowledge, after fifty years of horse racing, I have never found a method of picking winners that automatically makes a profit.

How to Find Good Bets When Handicapping Horse Races
If you’re trying to find bets that will make a profit when betting on horse races, you’re on the right track, so to speak. Just picking winners isn’t enough. You have to pick winners that are underestimated by the crowd. Once you’ve determined that a horse is at the right odds, how you bet on it is important, but if it truly is underestimated, then straight wagers or exotic wagers will usually still produce a positive return.

Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 3 Closes
An easy prediction as it is, Uncle Mo ended up the favorite as KDFW closed this Sunday. Odds on Dialed In closed at 5-1 contrasting the 10-1 they opened at. The compromising performances by Soldat and To Honor and Serve at Florida Derby floated their odds to a 17-1 and 15-1 respectively from an opening of 15-1 and 8-1. In the mutual openings of 8-1 contrasting last year’s 9-2, impressive players like Shackleford came to rescue the odds.

Hot Jockeys Win Horse Races And Here is How to Spot Them
One of the secrets to making money on a particular rider is really nothing new. You have to find a horse that he or she is riding that is underestimated by the other bettors. That usually starts with a change. A change in trainer is the first place to look. If the horse was recently claimed or changed barns, then you should find out how that new conditioner does with recent additions.

Spotting False Favorites When Handicapping Horse Races
Wagering decisions about horse races are almost always made with the favorite in mind. The favorite, or chalk, is the horse that has the most money bet on it to win and will also usually be the horse that is used most in exotic bets. Therefore, the condition of the chalk and how it will run will determine how the pools are divided. This may all sound very academic but it is amazing how many people start handicapping a horse race without checking out the most popular horse first.

When is a Coupled Entry a Good Wager in Horse Racing Handicapping
A coupled entry is a wagering option that includes two horses. For instance, if a trainer has two horses he or she wants to enter in a horse race, some state laws require that the two horses be considered as one entry. In most instances the wagering option is given the program numbers of 1 and 1A and when a bettor places his or her wager or uses that one in an exotic bet, it is referred to simply as the “1″. Naturally, at first glance, it seems this is a golden opportunity to make a profit.

Horse Racing Betting Advice and Wagering Strategy
While handicapping and learning to estimate the probability of each runner winning the race is an essential skill for horse racing betting success, the actual wagering methods and angles are important, too. Wagering strategy means finding the best value for each dollar you invest as well as protecting your bankroll. That isn’t very easy to do in an endeavor as risky as gambling on horses.
