Automated betting software has become quite popular over the last few years and I often get asked the question “is it worth having?”

It’s an interesting question but not always easy to answer because many of the reasons for using automated betting software will depend on your personal circumstances and the type of betting you are doing.

If you are placing just one bet a day at any price and at any time then there certainly wouldn’t be much point in you using betting software. But if you are betting using a set criteria, then an automated software package such as the Grey Horse Bot could help.

Quick Guide To Horse Racing Structure

April 5th, 2010 admin

Please Note: The articles within this website may not be true to Australian horse racing conditions and should always be treated as a guide only!

Whether you just love watching a good horse race or your looking to stake your claim at the track, knowing the racing structure is a must. Today, I’ll present you with the general structure of horse racing.

When you get right down to it, all horse races fall within four main categories: maiden races, claiming races, allowance races, stakes races. Within those categories are various classes, but for this article we’ll focus mainly on the main categories.

Maiden Horse Races

Maiden races are my favorite, because as a horse racing bettor, I get the most “rush” be wagering on them. A maiden race features a field of horses that have never won before. And one thing is for sure; one of those horses is about to enjoy its first victory.

When a horse finally gets that elusive first victory, his or her maiden is broken. As a horse racing bettor, you deal a lot with the unknown. How do you gauge a field of horses that were always also-rans? But when you get one right, it feels great.

A Horse Racing System That Aways Works

January 28th, 2010 admin

This horse racing system simply works by placing the same stakes ( i.e. £10 on each selection ) but it also has some rules, which are pretty straight forward to understand.

The amount of selections you bet on this horse racing system is determined by the odds of the favorite, I have placed a table of odds below for you to show how many selections can be bet upon.

All odds below are in decimals and are the odds of the Favourite in any given race.

Odds of Favourite In decimals Bet On First:
Between 3.00 & 4.00 2 Horses
Between 4.00 & 5.00 3 Horses
Between 5.00 & 6.00 4 Horses
Between 6.00 & 7.00 5 Horses
Between 7.00 & 8.00 6 Horses

Let’s just imagine that the first race you wanted to have a bet in is the 2.10 @ Ascot. Simply navigate to that particular race at your chosen, betting exchange, bookmaker website or go down to your local bookies and take a look at the odds/prices that you are being offered.

Horse Racing Humour and Jokes

January 28th, 2010 admin

1. Champion Jockey on a New Race Horse

A champion jockey is about to enter an important race on a new horse. The horse’s trainer meets him before the race and says, “All you have to remember with this horse is that every time you approach a jump, you have to shout, ‘ALLLLEEE OOOP!‘ really loudly in the horse’s ear. Providing you do that, you’ll be fine.”

The jockey thinks the trainer is mad but promises to shout the command. The race begins and they approach the first hurdle. The jockey ignores the trainer’s ridiculous advice and the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump.

They carry on and approach the second hurdle. The jockey, somewhat embarrassed, whispers “Aleeee ooop” in the horse’s ear. The same thing happens–the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump.

At the third hurdle, the jockey thinks, “It’s no good, I’ll have to do it,” and yells, “ALLLEEE OOOP!” really loudly. Sure enough, the horse sails over the jump with no problems. This continues for the rest of the race, but due to the earlier problems the horse only finishes third.

The trainer is fuming and asks the jockey what went wrong. The jockey replies, “Nothing is wrong with me–it’s this bloody horse. What is he–deaf or something?”

The trainer replies, “Deaf?? DEAF?? He’s not deaf–he’s BLIND!”

Laying Bets on a Horse Racing System

January 21st, 2010 admin

Win by Losing by Laying Bets on a Horse Racing System

Betting exchanges are a recent introduction into the betting world that have taken the Australian gambling community by storm. In the past, bets had to be placed with bookies, where the punter would back a team or entity and the bookie would lay the bet. In this system, the bookie would lay the bet backed by the punter and offer the odds. Betting exchanges cut out the bookie and allow punters to both back and lay bets and offer odds. In this sense, they work not unlike stock exchanges. This article will primarily discuss bet laying on races and how to effective use a horse racing system to find your horses and lay the right odds to maximize the opportunity for a payout.

It is probably worthwhile at this point to discuss what is meant by “laying a bet.” When you lay a bet, you are betting that a particular horse will lose. This is the position that the bookie typically takes. Betting exchanges seek to hook up those who back and lay a horse and allow them the opportunity to agree on odds. At this point, simple math comes into the equation, and it is time to find a strategy. Any horse racing system that focuses on lay betters needs to keep several considerations in mind.

Race Horse Fitness | Peak Condition

Determining Horse Fitness And How To Pick The One In Peak Condition

When determining the winner of a horse race it boils down to two basic questions. Can the horse physically win the race and by physically I mean is he in fit condition to for todays race? The second question which is equally important: is the horse superior in his ability (competitive enough) to win at todays level of horseracing?

When handicapping the condition of a horse its important to remember that no matter how much superior ability the horse has if he is in poor shape or condition he will not win the race. Looking at previous workouts and races in the Daily Racing Form you can determine quickly the condition of the horse.

Start by looking at how recent was the last race he ran in? A horse that has been away for 60 to 90 days needless to say is not in the best physical shape to contend. Its important to look at large gaps between races the horse might have ran just a couple weeks ago but before that it was 2 months. A good rule of thumb is if it has had 3 races after a lengthy layoff its in good shape to run today. As a rule competition makes a horse more fit than training but if no races are present workouts are listed at the bottom help you see the fitness of a horse.

Horse Racing Betting System Essentials

January 19th, 2010 admin

Horse racing is a kind of sport that is now popularly known as a betting game. But you have to take into account that the horse racing betting does not only refer to laying a bet on the horse with the most beautiful name or the one with the best odds. In fact some people have this perception that one has to be a horse racing expert to be a winner.

Here are some of the important things you must consider in making an effective horse racing betting system:

Distance  The distance that will be run by the horse to reach the finishing point is a very important factor that you have to weigh up before you pick out the horse that you will lay a bet on. If the distance is short, the horse has only little time to show its best performance. Conversely if the distance of the race is too long, there are several possibilities like the horse might get tired or the horse rider might drop off. Keep in mind that the safest distance of the horse race is in the range of 5 furlongs and not more than 3 miles.

Number of Runners The number of runners is also a very crucial element that you should consider when betting. A horse’s chance of winning is greatly affected by the number of contenders in a race. If the field is big, then naturally, it means there’s large numbers of runners who will vie in the horse racing sport. It is quite tough to choose which horse will do well in the race where there are so many runners who compete with each other.
