Horse race betting using a system has proved very successful for many racing enthusiasts. The secret of success with any horse racing system is to initially satisfy your self that it is a viable system. The only way that you can do this is to “paper test” it over a period of time. Only when you are totally satisfied should you invest real money in the system selections.
Here is a simple system which you might like to try. I would point out that no system can guarantee you success and you should “paper test”this system for a month or more. Never bet more money than you can afford to lose.
The origins of this system seem to have been lost in the mists of time but it is a simple way of rating runners in any horse race. The system can be applied to all types of race, flat, all weather and national hunt. It is based on ability and recent form.
For the purposes of this system you only consider this season’s form and the horses last two races. You then award points to each horse in the race based on the following formulae:
1st Place 5 points
2nd Place 3 points
3rd Place 2 points
4th Place 1 point
If the horse has won over course and distance add an additional 3 points. If the win was over the distance of today’s race add 2 points and if it was on the same course add 1 point. Add the points up for each runner and the horse with the highest number of points is the bet. If there are two top rated horses there is no bet.
For a staking plan I would recommend level stake single bets with a bank of 100 points. This system may not make you rich but it should give you a bit of fun and maybe come out ahead of the bookie.
