That is all it seems to me.
One funny incident where I saw this guy bet on every horse. He said that way he is guaranteed to win ( ya no shit). But I always heard its also tradition to bet 2 dollars every time you go as well, this is probably the reason for being able to get a ton of 2 dollar bills at horse racing tracks.

The Best Horse Racing Events
Filed Under Horse Racing | Comments Off
Simon Skinner asked:
No matter what sort of horse racing fan you are, you probably have a list of horse races that you consider to be the best out there. We agree with that and our favorite top three horseraces in the United States have to be the Belmont State, Preakness, and the Kentucky Derby. We wait weeks and months for these races and follow betting odds, jockey careers, and can’t wait for the visit to the track or the television show to entice us even more.
Why did we pick these three when there are so many? Because it is our list, not yours and we want to talk about them, where they are, the smell of the track, and the history behind these three events. First off, these three events make up the Triple Crown series and are run in this order:
• Kentucky Derby – Held the first Saturday in May
• Preakness – Run two weeks later
• Belmont Stakes – Runs three weeks later
Why do we enjoy the Triple Crown so much when we could, as horse wagers, make more money on perhaps other races? Because they’re cool, celebrities attend them—heck, even Queen Elizabeth II came to the Kentucky Derby—those are races we like to talk about!
First, what’s up with the Kentucky Derby? Well, beyond those taste bud tempting Mint Juleps we all sip or perhaps consume too many of, this Grade One race is for our favorite three year-old thoroughbreds and held each year in Louisville, Kentucky after the fun and exciting two week event of the Derby Festival. This event-filled race is one and a quarter miles at the spectacular Churchill Downs and has the old nickname, “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports!” If you haven’t heard that term, what about “The Run For The Roses?” Sure, we know you’ve heard one of those terms. The thoroughbreds that run this race aim to beat the 1973 record of 1:59 2/5 set by Secretariat in 1973. Or, maybe as fans, they want to see which jockey will beat out the most winning jockeys—Eddie Arcaro and Bill Hartack—both won this race six times. Anyway, we love this race and dream of sitting with the wealthy ladies with hats, have a few Mint Julep’s, and maybe sop up some great Burgoo Stew—a heck of a time.
We also love the Preakness—even the name is cool. The last three years have brought us horse names like Big Brown, Curlin, and Bernardini; all of these super horses won this race. Also a Grade One race for three-year old thoroughbreds held in Baltimore, Maryland at the Pimlico Race Course, this race has been called “The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans.” We cheer here watching those horses run this 1-3/16 mile race and can’t wait for that old black-eyed Susan to be hung around the winner’s neck. Mostly, we like betting on this race and being forced to sing Maryland, My Maryland, even if we’re not from there.
The Belmont Stakes, another amazing betting opportunity, oops, we mean horse race, is also a Grade One race and is held at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York and is the final leg of the Triple Crown—not to be confused with Crown Royal. This 1.5-mile race is also for those thoroughbreds we crave watching and what about all those Carnations? Well, they do call this race “The Run For The Carnations,” so maybe those horses do like those flowers draped all over them, probably much more than the thorny roses at the Kentucky Derby. Here we all get to sing the theme from “New York, New York,” even if we don’t know the words. Most of us remember that Billy Shoemaker won this race five times and still love him, even if Eddie Arcaro has won it six times. We like it even more that Secretariat’s time of 2:24 has never been beat as of yet, but there’s always 2009.
Well, those are our favorite three and even if we can’t get seats (we can’t afford them), we sing, we laugh, eat, and all bet who will win, what will be the best time, and if we are holding the winning ticket. Check them all out next time—especially if you know the words to the traditional songs of each.

Increase Your Chances To Win At A Horse Race With A Horse Racing Tip
Filed Under Sports And Fitness | Comments Off
Delrick Mckay asked:
If you don’t want to lose your money in a horse race, you may need to talk to a tipster. With facts and statistics on the horses’ performance in past races, the tipster can tell you which horse is fastest on the track. Here are a some ways to know that you are dealing with a reliable tipster:
Look For A Reliable Horse Racing Tipster
Tipsters are usually found at a table near the track’s entrance. It would be a good idea to ask the regular betters if they can recommend a tipster with a good track record. You can also go on the Internet to look for website which will give you a horse racing tip. However, most tipster sites require a fee for their services. But there are some websites which will give tips for free.
Do A Tipster Background Check
You may need to know if the tipster can really pick the winner of a horse race. Make sure that the tipster has picked more winners in previous races more than losers. A good tipster bases his picks on facts and statistics from past races. Do not trust a horse racing tip based on hunches or intuition. Intuition and gut instincts can make you win sometimes, but you’d have a greater chance of winning when you get a horse racing tip based on cold, hard facts.
Be Wary Of The Financial Information That You Give Out
Some tipsters may talk you into giving financial information that is not really needed to make your bets. Tipsters who ask too many unnecessary questions may not be honest ones, so you should not confide too much unnecessary information in them. The same goes for horse racing websites. It is always good to look for tipster websites which are safe and secure. You don’t want to be a victim of credit card fraud, identity theft, or any form of dishonesty.
Start Your Bets Small
If you are still new at betting on horses, you can always play it cool and bet small at first. Your tipster might say otherwise. If the horse racing tip is really good, your tipster might persuade you into betting more money. Now you should listen to your tipster. But you need to exercise some sense of self-control so that you won’t be betting large sums of money on the horses. You better not put all your eggs in one basket because your horse might just lose the race this time. Bear in mind that tipsters base their picks on the horses’ performance on past races. You can never be sure if these horses are well-trained and well-conditioned for the particular race that you are betting on, so it’s best to exercise caution.
Betting on horse races is fun and entertaining, especially if you are winning. If you don’t want to lose when you bet on a horse race, you better look for tipsters on the track, or in websites, to give you the best horse racing tip there is.

Horse Racing Betting Systems - Why Do so Many Fail ?
Filed Under Online Gambling | Comments Off
Steve Davidson asked:
Horse Racing Betting Systems, why do so many fail?
By Steve Davidson.
For as long as there has been betting on horse racing there have been systems. In fact most people who bet on horse races at sometime or another have brought horse racing betting systems, in the olden days they were seen in newspapers, magazines and form guides. These betting systems, some of them many years old were sold in book form and paper A4 leaflets. They had technology on there side. See it was hard to copy them and send them to your friends etc as email and other fast duplication equipment was not available. So an author of such a system could sell many copies for a long time and the system kept working and everyone was happy (well most were.)
Today is completely different now with horse racing systems, and I guess you have figured out what I am going say. That’s right with horse racing betting systems today being sold so much on the internet and in usually pdf format, they are very easy to forward at the click of a button to 10 of your mates. And they are shared all around on the forums of horse racing interest and before you know it everyone has got a copy. And the worst thing is they are all in possession of the system within 7 days of release. And you know what that means? You don’t? Well if say 200 systems are sold in the 7 days, and every system holder was to only have 10 racing buddies to email it to, that would be 2000 people now with the rules and filters of that system.
Guess what happens? Yes like kids in a candy store most want to try it out straight away! Imagine what happens on Saturday then the first selection the system has picked starts? Yes every man and his new found system back it or lay (bet to lose.), and the price is grossly out of proportion to it’s chances. So after a while people (like children) get disheartened with new found system as it is not delivering what they had hoped. Because so many freeloaders are using the system. Stupid isn’t that the people that pay the money for it are so keen to devalue there investment by sharing it with what seems to be anyone with and email address.
So the upshot of this scenero is that, like rats on a stinking ship they all dive off and look for the next magic bullet, (horse racing betting system.). And then they have all dived off that system, if it is sound then it will start to show what it has done in the past, it starts winning. This happens because now the horses that the system is throwing up as selections have far less people trying to back it or lay it.
How can you avoid this happening to you? Well the 1st step would be if possible buy a horse racing system that is in a software format and has a username and password. This way it will certainly slow down the digital thieves and clowns that love to see there investment go down the drain, by sharing. If the system you are interested in is not available in the software format, then buy the horse racing betting system, and don’t be in a hurry to use it with real money. What you are doing here is let all the freeloaders put there hard earned on the selections. You monitor them and see how they are going. Don’t worry if the system makes money whilst you are paper trading it. Now if you see that all is going well then you can start with your hard earned money. But in this paper trading time if the horse racing system loses money or goes sideways (neither winning or losing), then you can be sure the freeloaders will be looking for the next silver bullet horse racing betting system to come, and it will. Off they jump and like leeming to the waterfall, the same process starts again.
And the system that was all the rage is left to settle down and perform as well as it did before it was released. I mean let’s face it if the system didn’t have the results based over many months then why did you buy it to start with? Horse Racing is very statistical, the same things happen year in and year out. What systems do is spots these patterns and then predicts when they will appear again. That’s what systems are all about filtering non winning patterns and putting you on the right track.
A good system will in the long run make you money, I have found that it is normally not the system that fails the punter it is the punter fails the system.
What do I mean by that statement? “It’s the punter that fails the system”.
The punter (person betting on the horses) lets his personal belief or judgement become part of the system, he in other words bends the rules, to suit his thoughts and ideas. See he is not really following the system, and when the amended selection or amount that was to be invested is altered it is not longer the horse racing system failing, it is the punter that has failed the system.
So in summing up, please if you are buying a system then you are investing in intellectual property, you must keep it to yourself, to share is to dilute its value and it is illegal. Also stick to the money management plan that came with the system. And lastly stick to the rules if you are going to do it justice.
Cheers

The Perfect Horse Racing Betting System
Filed Under Online Gambling | Comments Off
dan asked:
I have been struggling for over 10 years, trying to identify why are there some people who often win at horse racing while there are some others that hardly see a winning streak in their lives. The reason for this is that people who usually win are actually following an efficient horse racing system,
There is more than a computational horse racing system out there which will tremendously boost your winning streaks, but you may start with an “home-made” horse racing system, which might not be that accurate and efficient, but they surely work better than your bare luck.
First of all you need to do is analyze the information given to you by the very same people who profit from your bets and horse racing system, this will include the favorite horse per race and the amount of money you’ll get paid when winning, this is the core of a successful horse racing system. A good horse racing system rely only a little in this information, however if you pay attention to details you will see some magnificent results very soon. First of all check for those horses whose last run took place in the very same track in which the current race is going to take place, these horses already know the environment and prove to be the top contestants every time.
Also, regardless of the horse racing system you use, check out for the previous odds, if a horse lowered its ranking within the last race, then you can take a shot and enjoy the outrageous profits offered. Remember that odds are not calculated depending on the horse skills directly, they are barely a reflection on calculations made by the bookies to make a profit out from every race, no matter the result. This means that if a lot of people are betting on a given horse as they are using a similar Horse Racing Betting System, this horse will become the favorite, and it will pay less because the bookies need to pay every single winner and recoup their losses with those that placed an incorrect wager. So, follow this horse racing system and you will see some great results very promptly.

Horse Racing Winner

Jason A. Martin asked:
Horse racing is a very exciting and lucrative sport. Anyone who hasn’t been to a good track is missing out. Winning lots of money at horse racing is very possible. In fact, it tends to get overlooked in the sports betting world. Think about this. If you were going to wager on a baseball team that was far better than the team it was facing, you might have to lay down $2.50 to $3.00 to win $1. In horse racing, you can often wager on a horse that’s superior to the rest of the field (even a small field) and receive a much better line.
Since this is a primer, let’s talk about the basics of horse racing itself. A horse race can consist of two or more horses. The field, as it is called, varies from race to race. There are three main finishing points in any horse race—Win, Place and Show. Win is of course first place. Second place is called Place and Show is third. These three spots are known as “in the money.” A horse that doesn’t finish in the money is referred to as “also ran.”
Horse racing offers a plethora of wagering options. For instance, one can wager on a horse to win, place and show—also called “across the board”—or any mixture of the three. There are also other wagers, which are called “exotics”. One example of an exotic wager is a Trifecta. A Trifecta wager consists of three horses that will finish in the exact listed order. For example, if a bettor placed a 5-8-1 Trifecta, the 5 horse must finish first, the 8 horse second and the 1 horse third.
Another example of an exotic wager in horse racing, and a popular one, is the Pick 4. Horse racing bettors play Pick 4’s constantly. When a bettor makes a pick 4 wager, he or she is picking the winner in four consecutive races. Winners of the Pick 4 are paid from a pool of wagered money. There’s also a Daily Double, Pick 3 and Pick 6. In the event that there’s no winner, the money is carried over to the next day. This happens often with the Pick 6.
One of the best things I like about horse racing is the quickness of the races. Unlike a baseball game, I don’t have to wait three hours to find out if I won or not. Additionally, unlike other sports, there can be up to hundreds of races on a single day. A typical racetrack will run eight races or more per day. There are many racetracks around the country. There’s a lot more to horse racing, but this primer will start you on the right path.

Is There A Place For Women In The World Of Horse Racing?
Filed Under Women's Issues | Comments Off
Aiden Brunson asked:
You might not think so, but history reveals otherwise. The world of horse racing may be dominated by men, but there sure are a handful of women who have made a mark for themselves and all other female horse racing enthusiasts.
Horse racing is a male-dominated sport, gaining for itself the title, “The Sport of Kings”. But today, it might as well be called “The Sport of Kings, Queens, and Princesses” with the impressive number of women trainers, breeders, and jockeys!
Horse races is popular the world over, and it has been gaining more and more women enthusiasts over the years. Today, there are a large percentage of women, playing competitive and important roles at high level horse races and prestigious horse tracks.
It all began a about a hundred years ago when the world of horse racing was rocked by the emergence of women competitors. At about 1904, women started coming into sight, whether they were playing important roles such jockeys, or equally important backstage roles as trainers and breeders. The following are some of the most popular women horse race enthusiasts since 1904.
Well-known Women Horse Racing Owners
Laska Durnell - owned and entered “Elwood” in the Kentucky Derby in 1904. Also trained by a woman, Mrs. J.B. Prather, Elwood was the first starter and winner in a field of five.
Rosa M. Hoots - owned “Black Gold,” who was one impressive thoroughbred. She had so much confidence in Black Gold, and rightly so.
Mrs. John D. “Fannie” Hertz - in 1923, she owned “Reigh Count”, in 1943, “Count Fleet”. Both horses were winners at the Derby.
Helen May Whitney - owned two horses - “Twenty Grand” in 1931 and “Shut Out” in 1942. Mrs. Whitney was called “The First Lady of Turf”, having owned two horses winning the Derby twice.
France Genter - In 1940, Mrs. Genter entered the horse racing business at the age of 42. Fifty years later with her horse “Unbridled”, she became the oldest winning owner.
Most Popular Women Jockeys
Diane Crump was the very first female jockey to enter a pari-mutuel race in North America.
Julie Krone was the first female winner of a Triple Crown Event. Also popularly known as the “all time leading female first”, having won “Colonial Affair” at Belmont in 1991.
Tami Purcell won the most races with champion horses. Purcell is also considered to be the top female rider of her time.
Strong Female Horse Racing Trainers
Mary Hirsch - The daughter of a trainer herself, Hirsch was one of the first women trainers in the 1930’s. According to professionals, she was the “pioneering woman trainer” of her day.
Mary Kein - She trained “Indian Maiden”, who afforded her the privilege of being the only woman to win three consecutive Kentucky Oaks titles in 1959, 1960, and 1961.
Jenni Sahadi is a spirited, two-time winner of the 1996, Breeders’ Cup Sprint.
If you want a comprehensive list of popular females in horse racing, you’d probably end up with hundreds, even thousands, of pages. As horse racing gets more and more popular, more women are making a name for themselves as jockeys, trainers, and breeders. They might be outnumbered by men, but who knows? With the determination and skill of women, they might dominate the sport in the next century.

The Easiest Horse Races To Handicap And Win
Filed Under Horse Racing | Comments Off
Bill Peterson asked:
If you have been handicapping horse races and trying to win money then you probably know how difficult it can be. But did you ever consider the fact that all horse races are not created equally? There are horse races that are easier to handicap and also are very profitable.
Wise bettors keep track of their progress and wagers so they can tell what they are good at and where their strengths are so that they can focus their efforts and maximize their time to best advantage. Some people specialize in maidens while others prefer to handicap turf races.
The first thing I advise you to do is to keep records of what you wager on and how well you do. Keep notes and refer to them. Set aside a little time each week or month to go over your bets and see where your handicapping strengths are.
I have found that mid level claimers are the best races for me. I prefer the ones run on a dirt track or all weather track, too. The reasons I have found these races particularly profitable is that I can get good odds on horses that are improving and it is also easier to compare the horses.
Claiming races are WYSIWYG races, meaning, “what you see is what you get.” Very few good trainers put a horse that can compete in a $25,000 claiming race for a purse of $25,000 in a race for a lower purse. It just doesn’t make economic sense. They put their horse where it can be competitive and earn the most money. Training horses, after all, is a business and that makes good business sense.
So when I handicap a mid level claiming race and compare the horses it is relatively easy to see which horse is capable of competing at that level and which horses are moving up or dropping down in class.
Another benefit of handicapping those races is that I can see a good trainer claim a horse and follow the moves that he or she is making to improve the horse and win. Equipment changes help but there are other things they do, such as changes in diet and exercise that will improve a horse. Some trainers like to claim a horse and drop it in class if they are reasonably certain that their horse can win the race. The runner might be claimed from the race for a lower price than they paid for it, but the claiming check they receive, plus the purse money and any bets they win offset the loss in claiming price.
All of these moves and the horses ability are more transparent in claiming races. Most claimers have been running for a while and have shown what they can do, hence the term WYSIWYG. When I see a horse that has demonstrated the ability to win at the $10,000 level for a fair trainer that has been claimed and is now in the barn of a much better trainer, I know the horse will probably improve and win at a higher level. These bets often are not appreciated by the public and good odds can be found on them.
The reason I stick with mid level claimers is that experience has shown the runners in the cheaper races are just too inconsistent and sometimes have major problems. Once in a while they manage a god performance but their record is so spotty it is impossible to tell when that might be.
Try sticking to mid level claiming races for a few programs and see how you do. Use a reasonable system and have realistic expectations and you may be pleasantly surprised by your own performance as a handicapper.

Want To Earn Extra Money? Place Your Online Bets And Establish Your Own Horse Racing System Now!

Ethann McKinley asked:
You have heard many stories about professional gamblers actually raking in money, especially in horse racing. You previously thought that this was a sport for the rich and famous (and you are not) and you have to go to the racetrack (and you do not have the inclination). Now, you can actually win online and win big!
Just check into a horse racing online betting site, study the mechanics of betting, and place your bets. It can be as simple as that. On the other hand, your primary goal in betting was having a slice of the big pot money, the fun is secondary. A horse racing system is thus in order.
What is it?
Well, a horse racing system is neither vegetable nor animal. Seriously speaking, it is the punter’s organized method of betting on the outcomes of the race. Admittedly, the bookers have an inherent advantage in this area, but it is designed to offset the bias. A profitable gambler knows that luck plays little role in winning big, which accounts for their methodical approach to horse racing. You should, too.
What are the types?
Basically, you can divide the systems into two. The manual system requires that you analyze the betting odds manually using a calculator and your personal criteria. You then place your bets by logging into your online account.
With an automated horse racing system, you just input your personal criteria into the software and it does all the work for you. You need not spend hours poring over statistics and looking over the horse and jockey. You need not log into your account yourself as the software is connected to the site!
Factors Included in Personal Criteria
Your horse racing system is as distinctive as you are unique. You can choose the components of your personal criteria for betting, which often are affected by your gambling experience and risk tolerance levels.
You can base your system on financial principles like arbitrage and hedging. Arbitrage involves laying a horse at a low price but backing it at a high price. For the novice, laying means betting on something not to happen; backing means the exact opposite. Hedging involves placing bets on several race results to maximize profits.
And though luck plays very little role in gambling, you should not discount the role luck plays in our psyche. Thus, other systems include factors like the horse’s form, bloodline, and name; the popularity and racing reliability of the jockey; the success of the trainer in previous horses; and the position of the horse in the race track.
Ultimately, your success as a gambler lies on a variety of factors. The frequency of your betting can increase your chances of winning big; the horse racing system you use can make or break you; the odds can always swing either way; and your luck might not hold up.
Every gambler knows that betting and winning on horse racing is never a sure thing. In the game of life, there will always be winners and losers so expect to be on both sides of the fence during your gambling career.

The Qualities In Horse Racing Systems That Matter
Filed Under Sports And Fitness | Comments Off
Delrick Mckay asked:
There are so many horse racing systems on the Internet today. Each system offers its own set of features, services, and limitations at the same time. If you want to make your horse racing bets online, you have to take note of certain characteristics in these betting systems to make sure that it’s the best one for you.
Real-time Race Results
Answer these questions: does your system provide results immediately after each horse race? Can the software application link with other websites that offer up-to-date results and tips? Simply put, a system that provides real-time results, figures, statistics, reports, and news will result into very accurate horse handicaps and predictions. The software application should also alert you of important events as they happen.
Top-Dollar Statistical Treatment
As you all know, much of the work in horse handicapping and horse racing systems is analyzing the horse’s numbers from past races. This involves rigorous statistical computations and treatments. It’d be a great idea to check if your horse racing system is equipped with the latest statistical algorithms to treat and test your horse racing results. A system worth its salt should be able to use stat formulas as Brohamer Pace Ratings, Bris, and TSN. It is also a big plus if your software application works well with database programs such as Microsoft Excel. This way, you can turn horse racing results into easy-to-read spreadsheets for your own personal consumption.
Easy Handicap Testing
Now, you might want to compare your own manual horse handicaps with those of your system’s to see if your own work is good enough. This should be a requisite for all horse racing systems. It should be able to test the reliability of your handicaps based on your own parameters. When your software application tests and validates your own horse handicaps, it will make you feel better about your own handicapping methods.
A Free Trial Period
Free trial periods are important because it lets you test the software application for a limited time to see if it works or not. Also, free trial periods ensure that you won’t be wasting your money on crappy software. Some horse racing systems offer free trial periods with money-back guarantees. This means that you can test the system through paper bets. And if it doesn’t make you happy, you will get your money back. When a money-back offer is available, it gives you an idea that your business, time, and satisfaction is being valued.
Regular punters like you should really set high expectations on your horse racing systems because you are investing your hard-earned money on it. An efficient system can result in instant profits, while a mediocre one could mean huge losses to your betting bank. Read the many software reviews available and ask the opinions of the professionals. Don’t be easily influenced by the persuasion tactics of some horse racing websites. Make sure that you are able to set the best applications apart from the worse ones before you take the plunge.
