There are some very good books on the market for people who want to Equestrian Rider Amazon.com’;return true;” onmouseout=”self.status=””>learn how to be a good horse racing handicapper. While it is unclear if the authors do really make a profit over the long run, one thing is certain, you can become a better handicapper by reading their strategies for betting success. Making a profit playing the horses is the goal of a lot of people, but what is really involved and how long does it take?

First of all, there are several ways to be a professional handicapper and let’s clear up which way we are talking about in this article. The ways to make money betting on horses nowadays are, a. enter handicapping tournaments, b. actually bet on the horses using your own money or for a syndicate of investors.

For the purposes of this article, we’ll be talking about plan b. If you want to make money by handicapping horse races then you should know you are up against a tough challenge. I would have this advice for you…

Tip 1.
First of all, read everything you can get by the major authors such as, Beyer, Ainslie, Davidowitz, Quinn, etc.

Tip 2.
Secondly, and this may be the most important part of making money on horses, learn how to gamble.

There are two very distinct challenges to making a profit at the horse track. The first, of course, is learning about horses and racing and that, in itself, can take a lifetime. The second challenge is learning how to bet properly and that, too, is very complicated and demanding. It seems diabolically simple at first, you just go up to the window and tell them what you want, give them your money, take the ticket and walk away.

But how you invest your money, in what increments and on what propositions, is much more complicated. It is gambling, one of the oldest human pursuits and one of the trickiest. It is a contest of wits, skill, and courage. You are competing against others with varying intelligence, experience, determination, information. The number one skill that any professional horse player cannot succeed without developing is the gambling skill. While his or her handicapping skill may be mediocre, the gambling skill has to be top notch.

Tip 2-a.
In order to learn how to gamble, you must understand human nature, your own nature, and mathematics.

Knowing about human nature will help you to exploit your opponent’s (the crowd) weaknesses while not allowing yourself to be vulnerable, which brings up knowing your own nature. If you know when you are weak and therefore don’t play, you will avoid a lot of losses. If you know your own strengths and build on them, you will multiply your gains.

Knowing mathematics will enable you to know when you have the advantage in a situation. A simple example is knowing that a horse going off at 2-1 has a fifty percent chance of winning.

A good gambler is an opportunist and can make money many ways in life. He or she can also avoid a lot of problems in life by being able to assess a situation and know whether the risks offset the possible reward. That is true of many situations, not just betting on horses.

Tip 3.
Therefore, since gambling and risk taking are integral to success in a wide range of human endeavors and will be encountered throughout your life, I strongly advise you to spend 30% or less of your time and effort learning how to handicap and 70% of your time and effort learning how to gamble.

If you’re playing trifectas, also known as triactors or triples, you probably don’t need to be told how difficult they can be to hit. On the other hand, you are playing them because you know that you can make money with that bet. The trifecta pool is often the biggest or one of the biggest in the race. Therefore, it really pays to become a good trifecta player.

While superfectas and exactas offer nice opportunities as well, the trifecta has just the right number of runners to make it difficult, and therefore profitable, without being too difficult or too easy. The main thing to remember is that your goal is the most number of scores, winning trifectas, with the fewest combinations played. In a perfect world, or if any one of us could be a perfect trifecta player, just playing one straight combination would be great.

But very few people have the patience to play only one combination per race and to hold on until he or she eventually connects with a winning “tri” combination. On the other hand, being too ambitious and wanting to hit a triple so badly that you play many more combinations than you need and actually spend more than the trifecta is worth, is very wasteful and will eat up your bankroll.

Here are some suggestions to hit good paying trifectas and to limit the number of combinations you have to play to hit them. I always maintain that if you can’t pick winners you can’t make money playing the tri’s because the basic bet is the same. In playing triples you need to key on one or more horses that will pay well and consistently hit the board. So I always teach that you start practicing hitting winners or exactas.

There are several tri bets you can make that are based on winners or exactas. First of al, if you can pick a winner, the same Equestrian Rider Amazon.com’;return true;” onmouseout=”self.status=””>horse can be used for the key horse in a trifecta key bet. If you learn to hit one kind of runner, no matter what it may be, you can probably make money playing tri key bets. The runner must be at good odds, however. Big favorites rarely produce big trifecta payoffs.

So learn to pick horses at reasonable odds, say 3-1 to 5-1, as winners and you will be able to make money playing trifecta key bets. A bet that produces a lot of hits and also pays well is a bet using one of the top three contenders as your first horse, with the favorite for second along with one other contender, and then several longshots for the third leg of the tri.

The reason I don’t recommend using the longshots on top or in the middle is because they usually don’t hit those spots. On the other hand, with the favorite in the second spot and a top tier contender in the win spot, the trifecta will usually pay well. It is all about percentages and the winner of the race is o0ne of the top three betting choices about 70% of the time. The favorite is in the first or second spot about 50% of the time so playing it on top or in the middle makes a lot of sense, as long as it isn’t below 2-1.

On the other hand, if you play all the logical contenders for the third position your trifecta won’t pay enough to cover your costs over the long run so you have to have some long shots in the third leg and that is where the actual profit is. So learning to spot long shots that may get into the tri is a key to making money playing trifectas.

Another way to play tris is to develop the skill of consistently picking two horses that make the exacta. You may, of course, box them. But if you can often pick an exacta then you can wheel those two horses in the top two spots over the field and hit many trifectas.

None of the things I have spoken of are easy, but they can be accomplished. You must practice and know the basics of handicapping, however, or you will waste a lot of time and money chasing combinations that have little if any chance of winning.

When it comes to betting on horse races for profit, there are several schools of thought. Some people like to slowly grind out a profit on high percentage favorites while others like the big win with a longshot. While long shots are nice when you cash a ticket on them, the truth of the matter is that as an investment, the old saying, “Risk equals reward,” is demonstrated over and over again.

It all relates to the size of your bankroll, your thirst for thrills or adventure, and your financial plans. Winning longshots are a great thrill, but long periods without cashing a ticket can drag you down. Therefore, here are some tips to help you narrow down your search for high paying bets.

1. Have a plan.

If you are really serious about hitting long shots, you should start by studying them and making a strategic plan. A good system is better than no system at all because as they say, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” Therefore, before you go any farther, answer this one question, what is your plan? Do you have a systematic way of locating good long shot bets?

2. Know where to look for good longshot bets.

Why not start by studying long shots that have won recently at your favorite track? Start by studying the main factors and comparing them to the rest of the horses in the field. Did the horse have any advantage over the other horses that was overlooked by the crowd, such as speed, class, form?

If the crowd underestimated one of those factors before, they will do it again, guaranteed. The whole object of handicapping is to identify profitable situations that will repeat over and over again. With that thought in mind, after you determine if the bettors at a track underestimate one factor, the next thing to do is to make a list of trainers and jockeys who win with long shots.

3. Know who wins with longshots.

Because they share the information with their owners and other people, some trainers rarely win with a longshot. If they have a good horse, everybody on the backstretch knows. However, other trainers are much more secretive and will score with a big winner every now and then. The same is true of jockeys, though all most all of the good ones win with a long shot from time to time.

It is ironic that some of the biggest longshot winners are also ridden by some of the most famous and successful jockeys.

That’s it, master those three tips and you will be well on your way to hitting more long priced winners. Just remember that more fortunes are lost than made betting on horses and bet with your head and never over it. Enjoy your days at the races.
