Punter's Handbook Hold your horses before you place a bet! A viable and feasible horse betting strategy is all about doing your homework well, a thorough study of the subject and there are various aspects involved which we’ll elaborate upon. In fact one needs to devise a winning strategy well before hand (before the actual event takes place) and it calls for a lot of time, analysis and consistent efforts. The strategy to be followed is bifurcated into two. The first part is about the horse concerned and the factors around it and the second is about the odds and the type of bet you are investing in. So let’s talk about the first part, well there are several tenets involved that need attention in order to set up a winning strategy. For instance, A horse racing enthusiast should pay heed to the fitness level and the training of the horse. Genetic constitution, training styles, age, and skeletal (muscle structure and fiber) soundness are all the vital factors that plays a vital role in a horse’s performance. A punter needs to be wise enough to watch out that the horse he is betting on is pretty reliable and a good source because the horse is the key factor in the sport. One needs to know the horse in and out. On a priority basis the better/wager needs to gather all the vital information be it of primary or of a general nature about the fitness level of the horses concerned. Next you need to check out the training regime i.e. how well they have been bred to compete as well as study the previous race performances of the horse you have settled for. You can establish the horse’s fitness and its effective training background by simply reviewing the last years performances. If an experienced horse exhibited poor form and running for two consecutive months but gradually improved considerably well, then he is most likely to follow the same pattern next year. Another important tenet involved in horse racing is the length of a particular race. Before you set out to wager on a particular horse, it is essential that you make a sound assessment of the distances the horses excels in as the conditioning program is not the same for all but is designed specifically for different horses, depending on the race length, for instance if the horse does not excel at distance endurance riding, then it will be unwise for a better to wager on that horse for long distance, he’ll lose the bet for sure. Heedless to say that even if there is a negligible difference in the race lengths (last and current) of lets say of only a furlong, stay away from betting on that particular horse, you are most likely to lose. Another factor which is completely ignored by many is to choose the right event before you invest. Punters at times invest in a horse which has won various races in the past but against an inferior competition and tend to invest on the same in a bigger event where the competition is stiffer and lose all the money that have staked. The next key determinant of horse racing strategy is the type of the race track. There are racecourses with tracks designed to test stamina and speed. The length of the races is about a mile and a half. However, the bends can be difficult, and some with a noticeable inclination to test staying power, control and muscle. Other tracks are built purely to test speed and they are laid straight, stretch to a span of around a mile, and with moderate turns. A thoroughbred obviously needs robust training to perform well in the long and complicated course than in the straight simple track. In addition, the last but not the least is the weather conditions. Lousy weather conditions might upset the ace thoroughbreds and affect the best laid strategies. The challenge of winning at horse racing is dependent on the other three factors: the price of the odds, whether the pricing is adequate and not over or under priced and the last one the type of bet you choose is also detrimental, it could be single, multiple, combination or of a different category. It is worthwhile if the odds offer is at least 2:1. If you use your grey cells diligently then the three types of bets- straight; the doubles and the future are not difficult to win. They are easily understandable and offer tremendous winning potential. You will definitely triumph if you follow the perfect horse racing betting techniques!
