Though it may just be a way that developed over the years, it is their personal method and seems like a system to them. But using a system and being systematic may be slightly different. It isn't just a matter of semantics. If you have milestones and steps along the way, no matter what you are doing, then you are using a systematic approach. When you bet on the races, do you do it with a way of measuring your success? If not, then how do you know how successful you are, if you are improving, and if you have made a profit?

Either way will work, but the choice should be determined, not only by monetary concerns, but also according to your unique personality. Do you like wild swings of luck and fortune or prefer a steadier, though slower, even flow? Keeping the right frame of mind and not going on tilt due to stress is critical for your continued success. One of the major dangers in the world of gambling is losing your mental focus and balance due to worry or stress.

Why? Well, it all points to the fact that the authors of these systems don't really want you to be successful. Not only would this impede on their action, but it would also take away the potential for making even more profits through another system they plan on promoting in the future.

What makes a man get all wrapped up in horse racing and spend his days poring over racing forms, the internet, and watching race replays? What makes a man lay awake at night trying to decide if one horse will have more early speed with blinkers and if the Cornell collar is really all its cracked up to be?

However, events surrounding his Derby triumph should not detract from what a great horse this is and the potential he has to become one of the racing world's greatest horses of recent times.

It is a nice fantasy, but frankly, having worked at both to make my daily bread, I can tell you that gambling is not easy and there may be better ways to supplement your income. That being said, there will always be some people who find a way to make money with a horse racing system or by playing poker.

Rarely do they consider the skills of the trainer and the jockey in their predictions. Here are some reasons why you should not make the same mistake.

The worse bet in horse racing is also the longshot. It just depends upon how you play longshots as to how much profit or loss you achieve. Long shots win races every day all over the world. While favorites win a much higher percentage of races, can you actually make more money on them? Favorites often have dismally small payoffs. Long shots, on the other hand, always pay well.

Neither approach will help you at the races. Why? Well, if a betting system is too general, it won't give you the information you need to place a worthwhile bet. Yet, if a betting system is too specific, you might miss what is being said because you can't understand the jargon being used. You might also be expected to make calculations based on a horse's performance statistics. Who has time to do all of these things, especially when they won't guarantee a win anyway?

The problem is that they require a realistic way to approach races with prohibitive favorites for longshot betting strategies. In poker, you have to know when to hold them and when to fold them. In horse wagering you have to know when to bet against the favorite or when to pass the race. Some people say that when a horse, no matter how good it is, is bet down below its reasonable expectation of winning it presents a good betting opportunity. For instance, when Big Brown went off at 2 to 5 odds. But the problem is that you have to see another horse that has what it takes to stand above the rest of the field enough to justify a bet.

To make it even more difficult, try to find good longshot bets. Finding a good longshot bet is like finding money in the street, but it can also be likened to finding a needle in a haystack.

That being said, few studs produced a greater legacy than Silver Hawk who stood at Airdrie Stud in Midway, Kentucky. Sadly, Silver Hawk (Roberto-Gris Vitesse by Amerigo) was recently euthanized after a long and successful life as a stallion.

By using what is called a track model, a statistical analysis of the previous races over the distance and surface to determine which running style seems to win the races most often, horseplayers try to decide which horse or horses in the race will run the way previous winners have run. They also look at the matchups in the race to see if any horse has an advantage because of where it likes to run.

Having owned race horses I can tell you that is no easy trick. After many years around horses, both the racing kind and others, I can tell you I still don't understand them most of the time. Many people have commented about how much easier life would be if they could just talk to us.

Of course the big question is, "How will the horse do after being rested?" There are some horses who win first time out while others need to be raced back into condition. The longer the layoff, the more likely the horse will need a race or two to get back into racing shape.

Like humans, death can come at any time and if we protect our horses in a cocoon so they will be safe and free from tragedies we are deluding ourselves. Humans can fall and break their necks on a curb to be transported to the coroners office and as a result of this are we to round out all paths and erase all possible obstacles to prevent future deaths? Horses love to gallop and are bred to perform at the top of their potential just like human athletes are too.

Experience is the best teacher so the longer you do it, the better you should become as a handicapper, right? The only problem with that theory is that the longer you handicap, the older you get and the harder it gets to remember important stuff like..., well you know, stuff. Now I'm not one of those elderly old codgers who goes around bragging about all his experience and snapping his suspenders as he tells the youngsters he forgot more than they'll ever know while they silently wonder if he has forgotten more than he ever knew. I don't wear suspenders... If you aren't one of those fortunate people, let me suggest a few ways to improve your memory or to at least benefit from your experiences...

One way to find some nice winners at the race track is to follow young sires. Horse racing has many sires, like the late Silver Hawk who have produced many fine foals, but one of the problems with following the top sires and their young runners is that the crowd also follows them. It is hard to get good odds on the foals of top sires.

Not betting on a horse based on the color of the horse may not be scientific, or is it? Since the color of the horse is inherited, maybe it is a way of insuring that you bet on horses whose ancestors were faster runners. Picking winners for profit is no accident for many people, though on any given race day you will still find people cashing tickets on horses who were "pretty," or had a "nice name."

Your job as a handicapper is to find a way to get an edge over the competition. Sometimes that means finding a niche that has been overlooked by the crowd. With all the scrutiny on the usual handicapping factors, you aren't going to find anything the crowd overlooked in the usual categories. But finding a seemingly minor detail that might make the critical difference is a good way to spot a good value play.

The reason is quite simple, people don't know how to use the information from either of those two sources to find winners. The key to workouts is that there is more than meets the eye. The secret to using works effectively is to look for patterns and trainer moves and make comparisons. On top of all that you must also combine workouts with other factors.

In horse racing, a little thing like front wraps can make a big difference, so it pays to pay attention to the details. First of all, let's be certain that we know what we are talking about. Bandages are sometimes wrapped around the forelegs of horses when they race.

Most clockers give the H work tag to most works. Only when there is a good reason to note a horse was really being pushed or there was some other factor, do clockers give the B tag. You will notice on a workout report for most tracks the clocker has given the H tag to most works. The interesting thing to note is that while it may first appear to be a bad sign if a horse has to be "ridden" to get a good work out of it, that may not be the case at all.

Any document that you have that you have made notes on or done calculations on is worth a lot to you, even if you have been losing. Picture this scenario, you have just had a losing and particularly frustrating day at the track. Nothing seemed to go your way no matter how hard you tried. You have no idea of what went wrong.

The exhilaration of rooting for the horse that wins combined with the ego boost of seeing how much a winning ticket is worth works well to put steam in a bettor's stride. If the payout to the winning bettors turns out to be a large sum of money, then that is even better.

Determining which horses have the best chance of hitting the winner's circle will depend upon three top factors. There is just no getting around the big three.

Let's be clear on one thing, though, there is a difference between just picking winners and making a long range profit. On any given day at the race track you can probably find someone who is ahead for the day and who isn't using a program.

Is it because they just cannot be bothered to look at the in depth form of horses and calculate from this which horses have the best chance of winning a race? Or are there other reasons?

It is a fact of life and knowing when a long shot is a sleeper is one of the best ways to make some fast money. That is why so many losers are bet everyday. Because the few long shots who do win convince bettors that the next one is just around the corner. A horse at long odds wins a race and for the rest of the day people are scouring their programs looking for another big score. But the fact of the matter is that they are still few and far between in most cases and therefore deserve to be long shots.

It is a group effort and there is very little attention given to whether a work is handily or handy or breezing. Yet many people involved in horse racing handicapping will look at one or the other and claim that it is significant that the 'H" or "B" tag was given. Typically, a group of clockers will stand in the clocker's booth and watch the track as the horses are let onto the track.

Sounds like something you've heard of before, doesn't it? Feedback is part of an information loop. A simple thing like a thermometer can be used for feedback. You put it outside and look at it and it tells you how warm or cold it is outside. That is a feedback loop. Asking someone how they enjoyed a movie is getting feedback that you can then use to decide if you want to see the movie. You can record how you have done at the race track and use that information (feedback) to make changes in the way you handicap or bet so that you win more and lose less. What it all boils down to, is what information are you using to make decisions...

But betting on horses may not be the same thoughtful process. People bet on horses for all kinds of reasons, the least of which are tips. Free tips are usually worth exactly what you pay for them. There are no shortage of tips floating through the air on any given day at any given race track.

A change in shoes, for instance can make a huge difference in how a runner performs. Most tracks have a shoe board and many also post the information on their television monitors. If you start paying attention to the shoe board you may find clues as to why a long shot won after posting dismal performances in the past... If you see a light work right after the horse was claimed and then a blowout at a good speed, and a shoe change, you have found out what the trainer discovered, a horse that needed a change in shoeing.

First of all, horses have huge and very efficient cardiovascular systems and rely upon them heavily for their performance. The more air going to the lungs, the better, so any improvement in breathing or circulation will improve a runner's performance. There are several ways that can be achieved. The most obvious of these ways is a tongue tie.

The first question to ask is, "Is this the first time it has had this added equipment?" If not, is it the second time. Sometimes the first time a horse gets the equipment change it doesn't realize it has improved and may actually quit due to force of habit.

I am talking about those occasions when a trainer works his or her horse's on an off track. First of all, consider these points. A. Working on an off track is more dangerous because the footing isn't as good. It is more risky to work on a muddy, sloppy, or wet track. B. Working on an off track takes more out of a horse. Works are meant to build a horse up, so a taxing work might actually build it up, if it responds well to a workout on an off track.

They watch horses for a living and can recognize horses on sight. Try that yourself sometime and you will see how difficult it is. One brown horse looks pretty much like any other brown horse unless you are a real horse expert. That is just what clockers are, horse experts. If you are trying to show a profit at horseracing handicapping then you know how hard it is to know if a horse is fit and ready. Each horse has a long form cycle and mini form cycles as well.

Those surprises equal big payoffs. Unless you have good inside information, where do you go to find out if a runner is about to put forth a surprisingly good effort? One thing that has worked for me over the years is following works and comparing them and keeping a record of how a horse performs against other horses when it works.

Is that possible? To be frank that is no such thing to win every horse we selected. But there is a way to profit in every selection, whether your the horse you selected wins or loses.

This is the question we will begin to tackle. Some handicappers use a very strict formula for choosing their horses. There are others, however, that will take each race as its own special case. After all, there are so many factors that can affect the outcome of a race.

But let's face it, if they sell you a tip they are also selling it to other people, too. How many people have the same tip you have? If you all bet the same tips how low will the odds be and what will the bet be worth? So public services that sell tips may send you winners, but the odds will be so low that the payoffs won't cover your bets, not to mention the fee for the tips. So overall, tips from services have little real value.

I certainly used to wonder while I was learning the handicapping game. I had many losing years and a lot of frustration. I have owned horses and raced them, spent my share of time on the backside and also worked for a racetrack. I have been a writer and visited and wrote about tracks as far away as Venezuela... When I say a systematic approach I mean that you need to use certain criteria to rate your bets and determine whether a bet is a good one or a lousy one. It comes down to these factors...

I know from experience that 95% of these guides do not work. These guides will cost you money, so how do you know if you are getting the best guide for your money?

You must also look beyond the works to know what the trainer intends with a horse. For instance, say a trainer has just claimed a horse and then got a good work from the horse, does this mean that the next race will be a winning effort?

That may sound a bit ominous, but let's face it, this game can drive you crazy unless you set a few simple rules for yourself. Of course money management is one of the top priorities in anything we do in life that requires an outlay and risk. But nowhere in life is the need for money management more important than in gambling, even recreational gambling.

The Breeder's Cup brings this argument to mind as the richest day in US horse racing showcases the best and fastest horses. Some people cite consistency as the best argument to stick with the better races. Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:13:32 -0500 http://articles.getacoder.com/Horse_Race_Handicapping_The_Big_Races_or_the_Cheap_Races_791334x1200323612.htm http://articles.getacoder.com/Horse_Race_Handicapping_The_Big_Races_or_the_Cheap_Races_791334x1200323612.htm This is a simple lay technique of betting for horse races that will ensure you win every time, no matter if the horse wins or loses. Sometimes you begin to think that a horse or the jockey is personally against you and even if you back a horse that cannot possibly win, it does. Or the horse that should win doesn't. This can be so frustrating and a waste of time and money.

This system will teach you all you need to know about staking plans for horse race betting and it will give you all the details that other systems leave out.

But after years of handicapping and being around horseracing, I have come up with some basic rules that have made a big difference in my ability to show a profit at the track, albeit a slim one at times. There are no get rich quick schemes in these rules, just some basic things that have stood the test of time. I have chosen this one as Rule One, though truth be told there are several that are probably just as important, but you have to start somewhere and this is a good place, so here goes.

But its age, high drama, and historical appeal as the "sport of kings" ensure that it also has a place in the history of literature.

But something else, very underlying, takes place simultaneously. People make and lose a lot of money at the end of each horse race. But there are a group of people who, come shine or rain, make money anyway. They are the bookies. They make money whether the favorite horse wins or not. And the punters would like to be in their shoes.

For example, William Quirin's speed points are an excellent way to judge early speed in a race. Finding a method to assign points for other factors, like dosage, for instance, can be very useful. But there is another consideration and this is important, too. You have to know when points are important and when they aren't.

Despite occasional windfall profits, the total of the amount won is less than the total of the amount bet. Conversely, a small group of professional bettors manage to win consistently, week after week, month after month, and year after year. They win by avoiding the beliefs and situations that cause 95% of bettors to lose.

The problem is that the factors in handicapping are weighted. Some are more important than others and you must decide how much of a factor each one plays. First of all, let me say this, if you aren't using a good system to compare the horses and consistently looking at the same factors, then you don't have a prayer of winning money at the race track. It is that simple.

It seems that no matter how hard you try and no matter what you do, you win for a while, then lose it all back. If you have had that experience, don't feel bad, you're not alone. You have to measure your performance and find a way to improve it when you find a weakness or mistake that you make over and over.

Yet this year, the title of best jockey in UK horse racing was shared by two men, and neither received a penny in recognition. So what drives a jockey to win the jockey championship?

Locate the fastest horses and then compare them. If one is almost as fast as another but goes off at a much better price then it is a good bet. As we all know, the fastest horse doesn't always win the race. But did you ever really look at a race and ask yourself, "Who can't win this race?"... You now have a visual picture of how your runners really shape up against each other and who has the advantage. Of course the next stop is the tote board. With the ladder in front of you as a fast and accurate visual aid look at the odds and compare your estimation of the runners chances with the odds. Write the odds beside the runners and give yourself enough time to make a decision and get a bet in (if you find a good one) before the race goes off. You may not bet on the worst horse very often, but there will be many times when you will bet a horse that isn't at the top of the ladder but is offering great value and really stands out.

Good works and recent works are an indication of good form and serious intent by the trainer. But the problem with a good recent work is that every one who reads the form can see that work and the horse is usually bet down accordingly.
