Horse Racing Tips

For all you horse racing fanatics out there, this is for you. I've been betting on horse races since I was a teenager and over the years I've certainly had my fair share of ups and downs. When I got started all I could do was trust my gut and maybe do a little homework on the contenders of the day. I considered myself lucky when I broke even.

I could enjoy myself at the track no matter what, but I also wanted an edge, I wanted to win. So I did some research looking for horse racing tips and I found out that there was a lot of information out there. I invested hundreds into systems that were full of information but lacked quality content. I also did a lot of learning on my own. I extracted the meat from these systems and with my own knowledge compiled a horse racing tips guide that I could bring to the track with me. An excerpt from my horse racing tips guide:

Watch for horses that place 1st, 2nd or 3rd at the time of their last four starts in their races. Be sure to add any horse that placed within 2 body lengths from the horse who places first. If the horse isn't a city standard horse it has to be timed on a metropolitan track. This ensures you will have plenty of horses to make educated bets on.

The object of the game is to bet on the winning horse and win the race. Do not focus on beating your state's tote. Never rely on tote odds from your state. There are almost always better odds out there. Getting good odds for winning horses is always tough, you have to shop around for them across the country for the best totes and best betting ring rates. I cannot stress the last one enough, you have to shop around for rates or you will not make any money in the long run.

Here is some other horse racing tips:

1: Armed with either your daily newspaper or at the racing post website {Or Both} simply select the races with the most number of runners in them.

2: Ideally, you should look for handicap races which have 16 runners or more.
3: If you can find any, Apprentice races and women jockey races are very good for laying the favourite.
4: Once you have these marked off , simply go through them and pick all the “Handicap” races. These are the races that are best to concentrate on.
5: Pick out any handicap races that have odds for the favourite quoted as no more than 7/4.
6: The above horses would be DEFINATE bets, don’t worry if there aren’t any on certain days, simply go to any race that has 16 runners or more.
7: Some days you may find that there are no 16 runner or above races, if this happens simply look for 14 runners etc.
8: When you have all the corresponding races, just go to www.betfair.com and check out the odds there for your selections.
9: If the odds are 2.8 and lower, then these are DEFINATE bets.
10: Do NOT lay selections that are below 1.9 on betfair, although a fair few of these lose, a fair few of them win as well and that we DON’T want.
When sticking to the above you will have great success when laying horses, when also using a sensible staking plan BUT if you add the following few rules to the above then you will achieve even more success.
So here is my personal horse racing tips:
1: After making your selections, either at the racing post website or any daily newspaper, just check to see if your horse is a “Course & Distance” winner {Shown as CD NEXT TO THE HORSE}. If it is then DON’T lay it.
2: Is your selection carrying any more or less weight than it did in its last race? If it is carrying more weight then LAY it, if it is carrying less weight then do NOT lay it.
4: Is your selection stepping up or stepping down in trip? if so then you SHOULD consider laying it.
5: Has your selection either a lady or apprentice jockey riding it? If so then LAY it because they DO make errors of judgement.

Apart from these basic horse racing tips that you always need to keep in mind, my suggestion is to use the very same horse racing tips that I have been using for a while together with a horse racing software calculator.
