Should I bet on a horse whose betting odds increase suddenly?

Question

I have noticed this thing duriung the horse races that betting odds of some horses increase suddenly, is it advisable to place bets on such suspicious horses.

Answer 1

Do not be fooled if a horse's odds of winning (on the monitor) suddenly increases right before the race. Often times the trainer and owner will bet a lot of money on their own horse in order to encourage you to bet on their horse as well.
