Two Things To Consider If You Want To Make A Regular Income From
Betting On Horse Racing
When placing a bet on the outcome of a horse race, most
experienced gamblers take into consideration variables such as
collateral form lines, the ground conditions, draw bias and the
horse's ability to handle the distance.
One of the most over-looked aspects is the statistics a trainer
has for a given racetrack. By applying a tried and trusted
process that identifies trainers that perform consistently well
at a particular track you can make money on a regular basis.
Once armed with these nuggets of information, you then have to
decide the best way to take advantage of the facts you have to
hand. The betting exchanges provide the answer to that
particular conundrum.
1. Following A Trainer's Course Statistics
The placing of horses is one of the most important factors in
the jigsaw of training. Some trainers insist in doing this
themselves whereas others find that to do this effectively with
a lot of horses is too time consuming and distracts them from
the core element of hands on analysis of the horses progress.
In either case the placer will tend to rely, where possible on
courses where the horses run best. So what causes this belief
that a stables horses run well on some courses and not on others?
Yes, some of this is psychological, due to the trainer having
good memories at a preferred course. However there is plenty of
evidence, and the Trainer Trends E-book is as good as you can
get in clearly demonstrating that there is not only horses for
courses but 'Trainers For Courses'.
It is natural for trainers planning a coup to stick to courses
that they feel confident will suit their horses. Other elements
such as the altitude, the local water and the program book are
all other factors but the trainer trends publication clearly
shows that a select band of trainers seem to excel year on year
at certain race tracks.
2. Take Advantage Of The Inflated Odds Offered On The Betting
Exchanges
Betting exchanges were introduced in 2000. Since then, many have
written about the pro's and cons of this ever growing
phenomenon. Whatever side of the fence you sit on one thing is
for sure...once you have an edge it can make an enormous
difference to your profits.
The Trainer Trends recommendations in 2005 exemplify this. Out
