Betting Tips
Ideas to improve your betting...
Betting tips can mean different things to different people so
will not try and cover everything but just give you some
pointers and ideas.
Handicapping is a very complicated subject and you need to
rely on the experts to point you in the right direction. If a
horse is carrying far too much weight, and therefore unlikely to
win, it will be obvious by the Postmark ratings, Spotlight
comments and the price quoted in the Racing Post betting
forecast.
The ratings are found on the right hand side of the race card
underneath the allotted weight. The top rated horse is the one
that is considered the best-handicapped horse in the race. So,
if your horse is among the top 4 rated you can be sure it is
fairly handicapped on its past performances.
Take note of any horse dropping in class. Supposing a horse
has been contesting more valuable races and running well without
actually winning, it may still be worthy of consideration.
Satisfy yourself though, that the horse is not losing its form.
Choosing a stable or two to follow is a good move as you get
to know how your yard operates at certain tracks.
