Most people who bet on horses lose money. You may be one of them? In earlier times your losses would find their way into to the bookies, more recently much of it will have been pocketed by clever punters who use the betting exchanges to relieve you of your money. Today, even with an equal chance against other punters, you and the other 98% will nearly always lose. Why is this then? There is an enormous amount of very useful data available to you, and with the arrival of the personal computer you can freely download and process that data to help you with your selections. Yet you still lose. I am sure that it's the system you use (if you actually use a system at all). A top system makes the difference. Once you arrive at a system that really works (and works for you - much more important), you will be on your way to lasting success. It is widely believed that only the experts and the professionals can craft, develop and complete winning horse racing systems, this is not true. Almost anyone is capable of designing a wining horse racing strategy. Including those who know little to nothing about horse racing betting systems. Could you be one of them? Well, it takes a calm, logical approach, and if you are not calm and logical, and bet using such unscientific parameters as a horse's name or a jockey's colours, then you are going to have to change your habits. There is plenty of form and data available concerning each horse, and all of that is readily available to you to make your selection. There is also plenty of statistical data, and most winning horse racing systems use some combination of the two. The last and often the most important factor in any winning racing system is instinct, and this is only acquired with experience. You can't bag it or sell it, and it's impossible to teach or transmit to someone else. It comes only with experience. Form data relates not only to the horse you are interested in, (is it improving or not, does it like the conditions, does it like running after a long trip etc) but particularly to the form of the other horses. Just picking a horse which is coming into form and ignoring the knowledge that some of the other runners are also coming into form too, is folly! Then there is data relating to other things like weather (is it going to rain, does he like heavy going), track (has he won here before, and if so -how long ago), quality and standing of the jockey, draw (is the horse drawn near the centre of the line or to one side, and if so is it the better side or will he be at a disadvantage there). Also take into account the quality and recent form of the trainer - are his other horses doing ok too? Is he in the top 20 or (even better) top 10 trainer lists? Another piece of information which it is wise to know is how far the horse has travelled to take part in the race. No trainer is going to subject his steed to a very long drag in a dark and heavy horsebox just to get some on-course training. No, if he is taking the horse a fair distance (say 200miles in the UK), then he believes the horse has an excellent chance of winning (and his information will always be better than yours). Other random but relevant data would include the horse's age, its sex, how long since its last race, its speciality distance compared to the distance it is expecting to run this time), and so on. The secret is in deciding which stat to take notice of, and how much weight to give it in relation to the other stats you are using for your super-system. I design winning horse racing betting systems, I also review and test other people's systems too. I can tell you with certainty that some of the very best and most profitable racing systems currently available were developed by interested or gifted amateurs (well I suppose we're all amateurs really, you can't go to college to learn this stuff). To me, system-creation is an evolutionary process. I hardly ever start with a totally clean sheet (even when I want to). Invariably I use some characteristics of other systems as I start out - though I try to avoid it. It is sheer folly to ignore what works really well just so that I can claim that my new creation is completely new. In any case, punters are not interested in absolutely new, they are only interested in absolutely profitable! Final comment: - If I gave a winning system to three testers and asked them to use the system for a month, exactly as I had designed it, they would return with substantially different winnings! Odd eh? It seems that however much we try, even with the most mechanical system, human interaction with the system leads to varying performance. But that phenomenon is for another article One conclusion I almost always come to after horse-racing system tests, (and I have carried out several), is that the largest difference between a winning racing system and a losing one is the individual who is using it! If you would like to learn about my latest system, or look at my reviews and info on other horse racing systems, do visit my sites. They also contain a large amount of very useful and interesting horse racing articles, racing information and betting system resources.
