Gambleing on Racehorses-tips or pointers??

Question

Hello, I am 27 an I have a meeting with buisness associates soon and we are going to a race track then out for drinks. I grew up near a track on the other side of the country so I know a little bit about betting but it has been so long.

Does anyone have any tips or explanations so I can look like I know what I am doing and hopefully win some money? Also, how do you know if a horse is using...Ithink its called Salik(is a blood pressure reducer)? for the first time? my brother always used to win alot of money on those... thanks

I am on my sisters yahoo account, So that would explain her past q&a

Answer 1

First i will explain Odds:

If the odds for a horse to win are 10/1 means for every £1 you put on you get £10. For example if you put on £2 you would get £20 returns. The same applies to 5/2 for every £2 u put on you get £5 returns. For example if you put £1 you get £3.50 returns.

Types of bet:

Win Only :

Wagers in which the stake is placed on the horse to win - if it doesn't you lose

Each Way

An Each-Way bet is a win and place bet, consisting of 2 stakes: one for the win part and one for the place part. Thus a £1 bet each-way cost £2. The place bet will be paid at a quarter or a fifth of the odds.

Win Double

A bet in which 2 selections in different races are backed to make one wager, the total return from the first being invested on the second selection. Both selections must win for it to be a winning bet, if either lose the bet is lost. The attraction is that for modest sums a high return can be expected.

E.g. £1 win double at 8/1 & 4/1 when both win = £1 x 8/1 = £9 x 4/1 = £45

Win Treble

As above but with 3 selections in different races. The risk is that the more selections the more risk of losing.

All the above can be win or each-way

Forecast Betting

These fall into 2 basic types Straight Forecasts and Reverse Forecasts. In both bets the bettor is trying to predict the first and second horses home.

Straight Forecast

You name 2 horses (A and B) and they must finish in that order, i.e. A must beat B.

Reverse Forecast

You name 2 horses (A and B) and they can finish in either order, i.e. A beats B, or B beats A. As this is in fact 2 bets it will cost 2 x the stake. A £10 reverse forecast bet will therefore cost £20. Payouts can be large.

Answer 2

You should always look for-

>In-form horse

>Likes the distance (has run well over the given distance)

>Likes the track (track lover)

>Runs well on the current track condition

>Good Odds- when going each way

And longshots have payed off.

Hope that helps, and enjoy yourself- racing is fun!! ;)
