Betting is at the heart of horse, harness and greyhound racing. The thrill of winning a wager in races can make up for a number of disappointments in emotional if not numerical terms!
Here are some horse racing wagering tips to keep your head above water, and 3 deep pitfalls which you should avoid:
Tips to follow
Systematic wagering is possible under a pari-mutuel system, at a racecourse with professional stewardship. Choose the racecourses, or online racebooks, known for their reputation and image of fair play.
Track and horse specialization pays off, though it takes alot of patience, effort and time. Study horses at the track. See how they perform.
You do not have to bet on every race; wait until you know that odds favor your pick.
Pitfalls to Avoid
Do not expect sustained windfalls, or look for short cuts. Stay away from illegal betting, and tracks which promote dangerous riding and outright cheating!
Spread betting may sound like fun, but it reduces the probabilities of winning dramatically. Jackpots and the like are uncommon in real life, but every race does have a winner.
Video screens are more for enjoying off-site horse racing, than for making money. Trackside insights matter. You are unlikely to win against punters at a distant site. But if you have mastered the art of picking a winning horse, betting onine can save a trip to the track.
There is no shortage of theories and advice in the horse racing world. It helps to take all inputs in to consideration, provided that losses are kept within affordable limits so keep an account of your cumulative record.
