There are literally thousands of horse racing systems on the market. Some probably date back to the Roman chariot races while others are modern state of the art programs that use technology and science to try to divine each horses chances of hitting the finish line first. While some systems claim that they will automatically make a profit, others simply state they will help you to be a better handicapper.

When someone tries to sell you something guaranteed to make money, let’s face it, that claim sounds a little fantastic. There is a good reason for that. Obviously, if you have a horse racing system that automatically picks winners and makes a profit with no work involved, then why would anyone sell it? It would be like selling the goose that laid the golden egg.

If you are looking for a good horse racing system, here are some things to consider before you buy. First of all, the choice of a system should be based on what you want to achieve. Do you want to be able to rate each horse in a race and then find value in the win pool, or are you looking to put together exotic bets that pay a long term profit.

Another thing to consider is how much time and effort you want to put into a system. Some systems are quite involved and you will have to input a lot of information and then sort through it to make decisions. Others supposedly take care of the decision making process for you and all you have to do is pick a track and a day and the system does the rest, once again, buyer beware.

The one thing any system should have that is absolutely essential, is a money back guarantee. When I say a money back guarantee, I mean a no questions asked, get your full purchase price back. There are some that say they are guaranteed, but when you read the fine print you find the guarantee requires a lengthy trial of the system and you must provide records of all your bets.

You know if a system, or any product for that matter, has a real money back guarantee, it must be good and you really don’t have anything to lose.
