Question

Horse race betting has always attracted me and soon I shall be participating in Horse Racing betting. I would like your help in helping me know, how I can use horse racing handicapping figures.

Answer 1

Horse racing is one of the few sports that involve a lot of luck, a good horse and jockey, and good handicapping skills. Handicapping is a method used by players to have equal chances of winning; this is to level the playing field for beginning players. In horse racing, handicapping is done by adding weights on faster horses. This is called a handicap race. Since horse racing has always been connected with gambling, handicapping is also a way to have higher chances of winning bets. Figures are used to win bets in handicap races. It’s mainly a game of analysis and luck.

    * Gather all racing materials. In any kind of venture, you always need to learn the basics to ensure success. Obtain different racing papers such as race results, horse records, and race posts among others.
    * Study your racing papers. It’s good to study the performance of each horse for the race you want to bet on. Speed is always the main ability you want to check on every horse. Pick about three horses you want to bet on and study each of their past and recent records. Keep in mind that different horses react to different tracks and jockeys so it’s best to review the documents before placing bets. Make sure the horse you’re betting on is capable in racing on the current track. Otherwise, you will lose your wagers.
    * Review the jockey’s performance. The horse isn’t the only participant in the race. It takes two to win horse race. It is pretty common to find the same jockey for the same horse. If the jockey is well known and is experienced you can expect the horse to have a greater chance of winning. Research on the jockey who’s going to ride the horse you want to bet on.
