<description><![CDATA[A lot of handicappers just look at speed figures, class, form, running style and connections when they evaluate the runners in a race. We have to remember that the runners are actually living and breathing animals that are maturing and learning from each race. One of the biggest problems I've had with my horses is that once they learn something, you can't unlearn them very easily. If what they've learned is good, that's no problem, but if what they've learned is detrimental to their health or winning races, that's bad.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Are you a skeptic? Do you also suspect that everyone is out to cheat you? Are you cynical? Chances are, if you also can occasionally let yourself go to flights of fancy, you might be an excellent candidate for horse racing handicapping. A skeptic is a person who habitually doubts and questions the status quo or accepted beliefs. For instance, the morning line handicapper has set the odds for the 3 at 2-1 and thinks it deserves to be the favorite. At post time the 3 is indeed the favorite. The skeptic questions that horse's chances of winning and doubts that another horse will run as poorly as it did before. He may even suspect that the horse was held back.]]></description>

<title>Horse Racing Hedge Bets and Dutching</title>

<description><![CDATA[There has been a lot of talk in the news lately about hedge funds and hedge fund managers. While I don't understand much about hedge funds, other than the fact that they get to play by different rules than the average investor, I do know about hedge bets. The first thing I know about hedge bets is that they aren't just for a select few. If you are old enough to place a bet on a horse race and you're in a place where it's legal, you may also hedge your bets or do some Dutching. Dutching is a form of betting where two or more prospects are backed and the amounts wagered on each one are adjusted, according to the odds, so that the bettor wins about the same amount if either of the choices wins.]]></description>

<title>Daily Double Bets and Rolling Doubles For Horse Racing</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:34:04 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The daily double was one of the first exotic or gadget bets and is still very popular today. It used to only be found in the first two races on the program, but now some tracks offer what they call a "rolling double," meaning that the double may be played in more races throughout the card. The double is about the simplest exotic bet. You pick the winner in the first race, the first half of the double, and then you pick the winner in the second race, or second half. You must have the winner in both halves to collect. An alternative to playing a daily double is a parlay bet. When you parlay a bet you simply take all your winnings from the first race and place them on a horse in the next race.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Horse racing handicapping is not easy if you really want to make a profit from your bets. While it may seem easy at first and while many beginners have some luck when they first go to the horse races, repeating that success is almost impossible without lots of hard work and trial and error. One thing that almost all horse players will agree on is that you have to learn and develop your skill at handicapping if you want to have a chance at making money betting on horses.]]></description>

<title>Horse Racing Handicapping With Track Models and Speed</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:39:55 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The track model is like a road map. It shows the most likely route to the winners circle, but not the only route. It tells you how most of the winners raced, including the beaten lengths at several calls as well as the running style of most of the winners. So in a 6 furlong race for older horses where most of the winners come from a little off the pace, the Early Presser (EP) runner might be 60% and the Early (E) runner might account for 20% of the winners.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While the skill of being able to accurately evaluate each horse's chances of winning is essential to making money betting on horses, the best handicapping in the world is useless if you can't also manage your money well. I often say that good money management will get you through a tough run at the races better than good handicapping will.

<description><![CDATA[There's a lot of talk these days about making money betting on horses by using trainer moves.

<description><![CDATA[Don't you wish you could get inside tips about the horses that would allow you to know when one was ready to win, or perhaps, when the favorite was off his feed and not likely to win?

Inside information, however, can be dynamite, but you have to know how to get it and when to use it and when to pass it up.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Before you begin any kind of venture in life, do you first try to figure out how difficult it will be to succeed at that endeavor? Successful people usually have this one character trait. They will try to do difficult things, but they will also find out how difficult those things are and then choose the ones that they think they really can succeed with, given their talents and abilities. They don't mind a challenge, but they hate wasted efforts on impossible tasks. Now let's apply that to horse racing handicapping and think about how we can use that insight to succeed at picking enough winning horses to make a profit.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's amazing how people who handicap horse races spend so much time thinking about the physical condition of the horses and jockeys but who ignore their own health as a factor in success at the races. I know many people don't want to hear that their lifestyle has a direct impact on their success playing the races, but in my opinion, it does. Horse races are contests. Horse racing handicapping is a contest as well. The person who bets into pari-mutuel pools is competing against all the other people who also bet into the pools.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Handicapping horse races can be a very time consuming and frustrating experience. In plain English, picking winners is one of the hardest things some of us ever try and most people lose money at the horse races. While some of us enjoy trying to solve the puzzle of a horse race, at the end of the day, when we've spent so much time and energy, only to have lost money, there is "...no joy in Mudville," as they say. That's why some people give up and just use the odds on the tote board to try and pick winners. They figure, and rightly so, that the lower the odds on a horse the better its chances of winning.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There is no magic formula for picking winners, but there is a method of making a profit from horse racing bets. That may sound contradictory, but it's not, because there is a difference between picking winning horses and picking good bets. The difference between a horse player who looks for winners and a horse player who looks for good bets is the difference between a successful gambler and a gambler. Regular gamblers take some comfort in being right and sometimes they even take comfort in commiserating with other losing gamblers.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We all know that the class drop is one of the good horse racing angles for finding contenders in a horse race. If a horse has been racing against tougher competition than it is facing in today's race, then it only makes sense that it will do better today. However, though that makes sense intuitively, it doesn't always hold up in real life situations. The problem is that while a horse may be dropping in class today, it may also be suffering a loss of form as well.]]></description>

It's true that statistics can be used to handicap a horse race and a horse's average speed or average earnings per start are finite figures that can be used for comparisons, but when it comes to determining which runner is the best and second best and what the difference between them may actually be, there are no rules and nothing is to be taken for granted....]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some of us handicappers love statistics and often get caught up in the notion that if we just cram enough information into our heads, facts and figures, we'll somehow be able to make a profit handicapping horse races. After decades of handicapping horse races, I can truthfully say that it is one of the most difficult pursuits and never ceases to surprise me. One thing I have learned and also re-learned is that you have to actually know what happened in past races in order to evaluate the runners in today's race.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The goal of good horse racing handicapping is to identify the contenders in a race. Then, once they are singled out, the next step is to assign probability to each one, meaning the actual odds that each of the contenders will win the race. Obviously, this is not an exact science. After the odds are assigned, the horse players, must decide what odds are acceptable in order for him or her to make the profit that has been decided upon. At this point many of you may be thinking, "Any profit is good!" I couldn't agree more, but if a person is working at horse racing handicapping and being businesslike about it, then there is a margin that he or she is shooting for.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So much attention is paid to the favorites in a horse race, the horse with the most money wagered on it, that we often forget the second favorite, the horse with the second highest total wagered on it. While second favorites may not be an automatic bet because just being the next in line does not mean it's a good bet, it is worth looking at these horses who live in the shadow of the chalk and to ask ourselves, "When is the second choice a good choice?" First we start with our own method of handicapping...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The old saying, "pace makes the race," is often true. However, pace and speed and position are not all the same. Speed points are often used to determine where a horse will run or try to position itself during the early stages of a race. Speed points were the brainchild of a handicapper named Quirin who developed a simple but very useful method for determining where horses run during the early part of a race. If you've been handicapping for a while you probably know about speed points and also that early speed is critical, even in long races.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are so many factors involved in a horse race that it is virtually impossible to prepare for every contingency and then to accurately assess each factor and to successfully incorporate it into your betting system. That's why horse racing handicapping is such a challenging intellectual sport. Like many things in life, however, you don't have to be right all the time, just often enough to make a profit. Too many horse players are looking for the perfect system when, in fact, no such method exists. Therefore, if you think in terms of probability and chance, you'll be on your way to successfully wagering and making a profit.]]></description>

I learned how to bet on horse races, placing dozens of bets in a single afternoon. After a bad day I'd stay awake into the night, chasing my losses, throwing good money after bad on anything from golf to basketball to Australian rules football. It could be 4AM in my time zone, but I'd always find a sporting event somewhere on the planet to sate the urge.

<description><![CDATA[While most people think the key to making money betting on horse races is to pick winners or even to pick trifectas or exactas, the real key to handicapping is spotting a good bet. It is the same with any form of risking money for gain. Whether you invest in the stock market, commodities, precious metals, or any other market, it's the same. Risk must not exceed reward or return on investment. Horse racing handicapping is the art of evaluating all the horses in a race and determining what the odds are that any one of them will win the race.]]></description>

To be accurate, any runner in a race does have some chance, but the actual possibility may be so small that it isn't worth considering, that is, unless the odds are right. As you handicap a horse race you try to put the horses in order from most likely winner to least likely winner.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The betting on a horse race starts as soon as the trace track will accept bets, or in the case of advanced deposit wagering interfaces on the internet, as soon as the ADW will take your bet. That may be an hour or more before the race track actually takes bets and may be many hours before the actual race is run, if it's a later race. Once you've chosen the horse that you think will win the race, why not just put the bet down and then you won't have to worry about forgetting it and missing the bet, right?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The synthetic track is here to stay so knowing how to handle the situation when a horse goes from a dirt track to a man made surface is important. While the man made tracks are supposedly more cushioned and forgiving, it seems that a horse with an injury or slight lameness might benefit from the cushioned surface. The same is true of switching to turf, of course, but most handicappers rarely think in terms of a slightly lame horse winning a race, though it happens more than you might think. In claiming races and the cheaper races, horses often run with some physical ailment or complaint. They often run on "bute" so that they won't feel the pain, but some still feel it. Naturally, a horse that is very sore won't run very well, but then again, they are usually scratched by the track vet, if he or she is doing the job right.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of ways to bet on horse races. The goal, of course, is to make more money than you spend. In spite of that, many people handicap horse races trying to figure out which horse is most likely to win and then bet the selection they arrive at. Just because one runner is more likely to win the race, however, it doesn't mean it is the best bet or the best way to make a profit wagering on horse races.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you love betting on horses but don't want to spend hours handicapping the races every day, you're not alone. A lot of people enjoy betting on horses but a much smaller number of people actually enjoy the grind of tedious hours of poring over the form trying to figure out each runner's chances. When you think of it, it only makes sense. Gambling and playing the horses is about action and fast results, while handicapping is all about a slow methodical approach to finding a few good bets.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you've ever placed a bet on a horse race or tried to make a profit from gambling, you've probably asked yourself this question, "Can anybody really make money betting on horse races or gambling?" One of the biggest problems with trying to verify the information and claims made by people who say they do or don't make a profit is that the people who really can make money gambling aren't about to broadcast it. That makes sense considering the fact that they have to pay taxes on that money and also that they would be hounded by other people who want them to teach them how to do it. So let's look at the issue and see if we can clear a few things up.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When you go to the horse races and make your bets your money is co-mingled with the money from all the other people who make a similar wager on the same race. If you look around at the crowd, you may wonder just how smart those people are. You'll see people who may not look all that smart and others who are drinking and probably not making great decisions. If these are the people you have to beat it may seem like you should be making a profit. But the fact remains that most people leave the race track a loser, and my guess is that most of the people who are reading this horse racing handicapping article are included in that group.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When trying to find good bets in horse races we sometimes work so hard we might be considered obsessive. While doing your best is always a good thing and I don't want to discourage you from working hard at finding winning horses, a little caution should be used. For instance, sometimes, when we try too hard, analysis becomes paralysis, as the saying goes. First of all, think of all the things that can happen in a horse race. There are so many factors that should be considered when you look at the runners, jockeys, trainers, and other people involved in a race.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While betting on horse races is a lot of fun for many people, it is still a risky proposition so very few people do it for more than recreation. Those people who actually make a profit from it all have their different handicapping methods or horse racing systems. One thing that they all have in common, however, if they do it consistently, is that they can spot a good bet when they see one. While you may think that any bet that is a winner is a good one, a professional horse player might disagree with you. Would it surprise you to know that those pros actually pass up many winners--horses that they had picked as their top horses?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I work very hard at picking winners and sometimes make a profit, but anyone who thinks that they are going to get rich handicapping horse races needs to have a talk with a good financial consultant or someone like my Uncle Mo. He isn't a horse player at all, in fact he is against gambling except for his investments in the stock market. He's a banker. Though he is against gambling and playing the horses, it is interesting to get the opinion of a man who is pretty sharp at making money, though you can rarely get him to spend a buck.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Do you look at the weight that each horse carries in a race and figure that into your handicapping decisions?

<description><![CDATA[Racing form is the actual physical shape a horse is in at the time of the race. There is thought to be an actual cycle that a runner goes through in which it gets into good physical shape and holds that form for a while before losing it as it gradually declines due to the stress of racing. Knowing about this cycle may help handicappers to know whether a horse is likely to improve, stay the same, or regress since its last race. That is the biggest question most of us try to answer when we handicap a race.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while a race comes along that has all the ingredients you need to be almost certain that a horse will win. It is all based on what I call the acid test, or "been there--done that." In other words, you want a runner that has won at the same class level or higher. If it is racing at the $20,000 claiming level, that is where you want to see it today. It must have won in a $20,000 race and it cannot be a non-winners race. In other words, if it just won a non-winners of 3 races and is now in a non-winners of 4, it is not at the same class level: It's moving up.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Speed points, as you may know, were originally conceived by Dr. William Quirin and introduced to the world in 1979. They are a useful tool to measure the race to the first call. The higher the speed points given to a runner, the more early speed that one has, sort of. Therefore, if you're looking for the early speed in a race, you need only check the speed points that are included in many past performances--at least that's the theory. While I wouldn't dispute the usefulness of speed points, I'd like to take them and their utilization one step farther.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There is a lot of information in the racing forms and past performances that are sold to handicappers. One good horse racing angle is to see which horses have been claimed and then to follow them as the new trainer tries to get a win. That, however, is not the only angle that works when there is a change of ownership or trainer. Horses don't just change hands when they are claimed. A lot of people don't pay much attention to who owns a horse or a trainer change in the past performances, but it is significant and should be followed. The reason that the owner makes such a difference is that they pay the bills and may or may not call the shots when it comes to which races a horse is entered in and other important moves.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Finding a good horse racing system that will make a profit is one of the dreams shared by a lot of handicappers. Unfortunately, the truth is that if anyone has such a method of picking winners, it is a well kept secret. There are plenty of advertisements for horse racing systems that "...really do make money," but they never pan out and a lot of people have been disappointed. When it comes to betting on horses--like any endeavor where money is involved--you have to beware of scams and frauds. The best way to avoid an unpleasant experience is to ask yourself the following question, "Does this sound too good to be true?" If anyone really has a money making system, they aren't about to sell it to the public--they'll just use it themselves.]]></description>
