Horse Racing Betting Systems
Almost anyone that is into
Horseracing uses a System
There are as many systems for getting the name of the
winner of a race, many people stick with their favourite
plan for years, some seem to work better than others, some
are simple, while others are really difficult to understand.
The most common systems that people use include the
following:
- Following a jockey throughout his career and backing
him whenever he has a race.
- Backing a trainer
- Backing the horse who won the race last year
- Place your money on the third favourite
- Backing the horse who has travelled the least distance
- Back the horse who has the strangest name
- Going with the horse who is nearest to to the first
turn
Now that everyone has a computer people can punch in a
few form factors from previous races and come up with a
potential winner. Very rarely do these programs take into
account all the factors that affect a horses performance.
Perhaps using a paid for service who have huge databases of
information to draw upon would be useful.
A System for Backing the Favourite that we found on
the Internet:
The first step in using this system is to set a value of
how much you wish to win each day. As a rough rule, the
safest figure is 5% of your total bank. This is purely down
to you. The higher the % the more risk you have of needing
to "top up" your bank with more funds. So for this example
we say you have a bank of £1000, and therefore require our
winnings each day to be £50. (Of course it could be just a
bank of £100 and your target winnings be £5, it's up to you
and the size of your pocket. (remember your in this only to
win!)
This system relies on the fact that in all of the days race
meetings that at least 1 favourite will win one of the
races. There are usually 3 or 4 race meetings each day 6 of
7 races per meeting. This means across the country there are
in excess of 20 races and if just 1 out of the 20 races the
favourite wins, YOU'RE A WINNER. As you can imagine the
chances of not a single
favourite winning out of the 20 races is very small.
To ensure you always choose the favourite of each race, you
will need to either open an account on line. Such as
www.paddypower.com
or you must go to your local bookies and check the odds in
the last 15-10 minutes before a race. Newspapers do like to
give you their suggested favourite; however these will not
always be the excepted and agreed favourite.
So here it is...
- In the first meeting of the day you currently have a
bank of £1000 and
you wish to win £50. Locate the favourite for this race,
take its odds "to win"
and then calculate how much stake you need to put down in
order to win
£50. Let’s say the favourite is 7-4. In order to win
£50.00 you will need to
place a bet of £28.57.
This can be worked out by dividing 4 by 7 (7-4 odds) and
then multiply it by
50 (£50)
If this horse wins you are now £50.00 up. CONGRATULATIONS,
YOU'RE A
WINNER.
Now follow the most important rule of the day and quit for
the day!
- If the horse doesn’t win, don’t despair, go on to the
next race, but this
time in order to be £50 up for the day, you need to win
back the 28.57 you
lost in the last race plus an additional £50 for your on
target winnings. A
total of 78.57. Let’s say for the next race, the favourite
is at 4-1. So to win
78.57 you will need to place a bet of 19.64.
This can be worked out by dividing 1 by 4 (4-1 odds) and
then multiply it by
78.57 (£)
If this horse wins, you have recovered the £28.57 you lost
in the first race,
plus the additional £50 target. CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE A
WINNER.
Now quit for the day!
- If the horse doesn't win, again don’t despair, simply
go on to the next
race following the same procedure as in 2. Remembering
that in order to be
£50 up for the day, you will need to win back the 28.57
you lost in the first
race and the 19.64 in the second race, plus the additional
£50. Target
winnings, giving a total of £98.21. The favourite in the
next race is 2-1. So to
win £98.21 you will need to place a bet of 49.10.
This can be worked out by dividing 1 by 2 (2-1 odds) and
multiplying it by
£98.21.
Is this horse wins; you have now recovered the 28.57 you
lost in the first race
and the 19.64 in the second plus the additional £50.
Target.
CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE A WINNER.
Now quit for the day!
If the favourite didn’t win again, simply continue with
this method
remembering to up your stake to ensure you win back all
your losses as well
as your targeted winnings until the favourite does win.
As you can see the more races that take place where the
favourite doesn’t
win, your loses become more and more, therefore meaning
you need to
place a larger stake on the next race to win back your
loses.
This is why it is suggested to only place 5% of your bank.
Of course no system is 100% guaranteed to win every time
and we do not
give this guarantee either, but you will agree that the
odds of not a single
favourite winning any of the races around the country in
one day is as close to
impossible as you can imagine.
Try this out for yourself for a few days without actually
gambling any money.
Simply put, if a favourite wins, you win!
You never know, some systems work, while others don't.
