Horse Racing System Evaluation

Finding a good horse racing system is the Holy Grail of wagering for both casual and serious punters. Almost everyone has his/her own type of horse racing system. You have probably heard of some different types of horse racing systems that people have proffered over the years. Some are quite zaney and some are based on sound understanding of several factors that can affect the outcome of any given horse race. Here are some of the things to consider when evaluating any horse racing system you may be considering:

Does the horse racing system take into consideration the number of horses running in the race? Races that have a lot of entries are more difficult to choose which horses will do well. The number of entries in a race greatly affects every horses’ chance of winning the race. Of course, some horses do better in larger fields than others. A good horse racing system should allow you to make allowances for the number of entries in the horse race.

Weather is another factor that can greatly impact the outcome of a horse race. Just like people, some horses do better on a wet and muddy track than others. You should make allowances for track conditions when deciding on which horses to bet on when using any horse racing system.

How recently a horse has run is another consideration when using your horse racing system. A good rule of thumb is ideally the horse should have raced within the last 4 weeks or 28 days. Not too much racing but not too little either is good for a horse to maintain good form during the racing season. A horse’s form is a factor in how well he will do in a race. When using a horse racing system, the horses’ form should be part of the equation for determining the best bet.

Probably the simplest and best horse racing system is to bet on only the top favorites. When you bet on favorites you’ve got the odds working in your favor. In other words, there is a greater probability one of the top favorites will win the race. Any horse with a 3/1 or less in the betting is a good pick. If your horse racing system works with favorites, it is probably going to be a horse racing system that you can use to make some good money.
