How To Back A Winning Horse 18 Horse Racing Tips to Improve You’re Gambling Overnight The task of any gambler is first to cut his losses. Then using a good staking method combined with a few winning systems you could end up with a nice profit at the races. Here are a few ideas to come out ahead of your bookmaker. 1. Avoid listening to the gossip of other race players. If anyone knows anything worthwhile they will keep it to their selves 2. The best type of races to concentrate on is moderate fields of between 8 to 12 runners with most of the horses having exposed form. 3. The key to winning is to maximise your wins and minimise your losses using a good staking plan. 4. Don’t bet on anything you don’t know about. Read up on the game or sport first 5. Don’t gamble after drinking alcohol as this will dull your senses. 6. Set aside a predetermined stop loss figure and stick to it. Determine the amount you want to win for the day and when you reach that target pocket the money and walk away. 7. A positive staking system when you increase the amount you bet after a win and decrease it after a loss is better than the martingale system. This is where you increase your bets after a loss.
8. In horse racing do not bet in every race. This is the one big advantage you have over a bookmaker who has to make a book for every race. 9. If you are going through a bad run of losses withdraw for the action and paper trade until you see the form lines coming in again. 10. Keep a daily note book and mark down the name of any runner that catches your eye finishing well and back them for the next two runs. 11. When backing longshot horses look for races with 10 to 12 runners. 12. Horse racing systems based on speed figures get more winners than systems based on weight. 13. Jockey and trainers have winning streaks. When they are in form back all their horses even the longshots. 14. Before you have a bet asked yourself these three questions. Is the horse running into form , can he handle the going and do the odds reflect the chance of winning. 15. Win single bets at value prices are the best way to make money. Exotic bets are just for fun or when you feel lucky. 16. If you are at the bookies and putting on a multiple bet write on your slip if any non-runners insert the favourite. There is nothing worse than horses pulling out when you are on a winning run.
17. When the going turns heavy withdraw from betting. 18. Never bet with money you can’t afford to lose. Set aside a pool of money just for betting. Only bet 105 of this pool per bet.
