Easy Horse Racing Picks You Can Find For Yourself With This …

Would you like to open a racing form or program and scan it and make picks for yourself and know how often they will win before the races are run?  Maybe you’ve been handicapping for years and still aren’t making a profit from your bets.  Maybe you think there is now way that this can happen.  But there is a way to make your own free picks and to have a reasonable idea of how good a horse is compared to the competition in the race.

It all starts with keeping notes and understanding odds.  First of all, pick one track that has a long enough season for you to follow the races for a month and then to start betting after the month is up.  I’m not telling you to stop betting during that month, it is just that this free horse racing system won’t work until the month is up.

Now start getting a racing form or past performances for each day and also download the charts for each day.  The idea with the charts is that you’ll not only have the winners for each race but you will know what the odds were on each horse in the race.  Start looking at the races for each day and note the horse with the fastest speed rating in its last race as well as the advantage it has over the next fastest horse.  For instance, horse A posted a 78 in its last race and horse B had a 74.  Write down horse A’s time of 78-4, meaning, it had a 78 and was 4 points higher than the next fastest horse.

Keep accurate notes for each horse for the top handicapping factors like class and speed and note the winners.  After a month look at each of the top horses in the category and which ones won.  Now look at the odds that each one started at.  At this point you will be able to tell if you bet all of them if you would have made a flat bet profit.

For instance, if you bet every horse that had the fastest time, would you have made a profit?  If not, how about if you bet every horse that had the fastest time that started at 2-1 or more?  Keep going through the winners and trying different odds ranges until you find odds that show a flat bet profit.  There is no guarantee that this trend will continue, but it is a good method to find some good bets.

If you know that horses with a 4 point advantage in speed win often enough to show a profit if you only bet them at 3-1 or more, you can start picking your own winners that will show a profit over the long run.  Of course, this is horse racing and it’s risky so you should never bet more than you can afford to lose and always bet with your head, and never over it.
