  1. 75% of the time my rear! even picking Favs that i a made up %. if not, Prove it. post them with 30 secs before post time as we dont want to steal your precious selections.

    Any real Horseman knows your %75 is bunk.


  2. Make sure you only bet in one-horse races! (there aren't any)  There are so many variables in horse racing that it is impossible to label one horse as unbeatable.  Occasionally there is a 'standout' or a champion in a race that looks the winner - but even these can be beaten, and they are usually at very short odds.  I find that I usually make money betting if I concentrate on one or two races a day - thoroughly research the runners as to distance, track conditions, jockey, current form etc.  before I give them a tick.  Even then Lady Luck needs to step in and help as well.  It is fun to bet but I don't take it seriously, I only bet what I can afford to lose, and as of today I still am not living in the Bahamas from my massive punting income.

  3. things never are dead certain.  I picked a horse that was clearly the best in one race...  I would have won had it not dropped its rider.

    I like to look at the horses and see their body types and pick the one that looks the healthiest.  If I don't have that opportunity, i'll look at the past performances and compare it to the conditions of this race.  I pick one or more that seem the best.  if you select a horse that you're pretty sure to win, you can put a place bet on the horse and you're pretty sure to win... you don't win much, but it's the safest bet...  so long as it comes in third or better, you win.  I heard a statistic that the favorite in any race comes in at least third in 75% of races... so it's a pretty sure bet... the problem is that you're only going to make about $2.10 off of a show bet on a favorite.

    No way to tell for certain.  Personally I believe that there's ways you can make a good guess at what's going to happen...  I usually get negative votes for that statement, but I think my 7 week beat the handicapper total of over $1000 attests to the truth of my assessment.  if you study horses enough, you learn what to look for in races and you learn to bet smartly.  The only way to learn is to practice... honestly playing beat the handicapper was a great experience for me...  I placed my first ever bet in July and I won but I only won a couple dollars.  Through Beat the Handicapper I got to experiment with betting... i didn't have to spend or lose my own money... i could bet differently in different races to see what bets were the best.  I learned how to make strong exotic bets and I learned which bets were best to maximize my profits when I won... I started as a show bettor and have since become a little more daring.

  4. On the whole, the nearer you get to buying money the more likely you are to lose.  To win at horseracing you need to take a chance and bet for value.  Of course you need a wealth of experience to understand what value is and there is no easy route.  Whatever you learn you will have to deduce for yourself and it is a never ending study so kee....eep punting.

  7. Tips for "picking dead certain winners" does not exist. Even in a one horse race there is no guaranty that the horse will finish.

    "Systems" and "experts' picks are for suckers. Read and familiarize yourself with some good ole fashioned handicapping skills, and you might turn a profit. Here's a couple tips: The favorite typically wins about 33% of the time; an expert's best-bet pick might be a good show bet. If you leave the track (or OTB) with more money than you came in with, you had a good day, regardless of the amount. People who brag about consistently making a killing betting on horses are either liars or fools.

  8. The only horses I follow seem to follow other horses....

  9. There are these big guys in suits who seem to know follow their lead. Always be the longshot if its rigged that will be the one to win specially if odds drop alot that means big money on it. Never tried it but makes sense

  10. Yeah, You ever see the movie Back to the Future? All you need to do is build a time machine and get your hands on some Plutonium. Go to a year ahead of the current time and go buy yourself a sports almanac...Presto, instant winners.

  11. Forget picking winners, start backing the whole field.  

    There is a system where you can get into a no lose situation and it works on betting exchanges.  Its too long to post here but have a look below.

  12. The certain winners are the one who make their picks by watching the races on television and keeping their money in their pockets.
