How to Win Big in the ufabet Industry

The thought of handicapping horse races and expecting to actually make money is a daunting thought to many people. They worry that handicapping horse races for profit is too difficult. Is it more work than it is worth to figure out who has the most speed or class and then compute that into a winner? ™

It is no lie that handicapping horse races isn't always easy and that it is also risky. On the other hand, it doesn't always have to be complicated. A quick and easy method to handicap the races, a system as they are called, can just use a few factors that are easily found in any racing program.

For instance, adding the speed figures from the last three races that each horse has run and then choosing the three horses with the highest totals, is a system. From that point, you can refine it or use those figures in any way you like if you want a more complex system. If you are looking for a value bet, you might want to try a system that bets the horse with the highest odds from that group with the highest totals.

A simple way to find value would be to write the total of their last three speed ratings beside each horse and then write the odds, at two minutes to post, beside each of those numbers. The results might look something like this...

Speed Figure Total/Odds

1. 230/5-1

2. 240/3-1

3. 220/8-1

4. 218/8-1

5. 245/5-1

6. 253/8-5

7. 252/3-1

8. 244/5-2

Just looking at those total speed figures and odds, can you find the value bet? Obviously it is the 7. It is almost the fastest horse, but is going off at over three times the odds of the favorite. Without looking at any other handicapping figures this horse appears to be worth a second look and perhaps a bet.

These types of bets come along quite frequently, but who have you noticed making a simple notation like the one above at the track? It is simple yet really points out which bets might be value bets and lead to a profit. For just a fun day at the track without working too hard, playing a fun and easy system like this can lead to winners and even some profitable days.

Now I am not necessarily saying you need to forget about working hard at picking winners and using many handicapping factors or a more complex system, but I am saying that if you aren't using any horse racing handicapping system right now, just starting to use a quick and easy system may help you to win more often and lose less.

This short article cannot completely explain the complex subject of horse racing handicapping. So we'll restrict this article to a few simple horse racing handicapping truths that will help you to pick some winners on your visit to the race track.

A day at the races with a few bets can be a very enjoyable way to spend your day. Millions of people around the globe enjoy the sport every day. There are many kinds of bets that you may make but for purposes of brevity and this article I'll stick with the win bet. It is just what it sounds like. You bet on a horse or horses to win the race and if one crosses the finish line first, you're a winner.

The base bet in North America is usually two dollars. Some tracks allow one dollar bets, but most stick with the bet that has been the standard for generations. Now let's talk about which horse you'll bet on before you plunk that two dollars down. We won't concern ourselves with value because that subject is difficult to explain in a short article though I've written a few that cover the basics.

You may watch the horses in the saddling ring or paddock while they're being prepared for the race. Horses that are sweating too much, or "washy," as it is called, are poor bets because they are too nervous and expending all their energy before the race. Horses that appear lethargic, walking flat-footed and with head down are also usually not in mid-season form or interested in racing. Look for a horse with its head up and ears pricked up sometimes turning those ears toward the jockey.

The odds board will tell you which horse is favored. Look it over closely and see what shape it appears to be in. The favorite is at the lowest odds because that's the one most of the money is riding on. They win at about a thirty-three percent clip, about a third of the time, and though they are a losing bet in the long run because they return less than the cost to bet them all, they still return more in the long run than most long shots.

Looking at the odds on the tote board, figure out which horses are at the lowest odds and then concentrate your efforts on the three that are at the lowest odds. The winner is from that group about seventy percent of the time. If you can spot a horse in that small group that appears ready to run, with head up, eyes bright and ears pricked up, you may have found a good bet.

Check the jockey's win average and make sure the rider wins at least twelve percent of the time. Any less means the jockey is a poor bet unless there is a compelling reason to wager on his mount.

Overall, stick with horses in that group and you find a few good ones on ufabet the card. Above all, take time to watch and listen and enjoy your days at the races.
