Looking for the long shot in Horse Racing

Truth be told when it comes to horse racing betting and handicapping everyone would love to cash more longshot tickets.  This is because the long shots are the ones that have the most payouts but on the flipside it’s reward vs investment.  The reason that they are longshots is through a good study of the horses in the race this horse was originally deemed less likely to win.  For example if you a horse that is 3 to 1 this means out of 3 races this horse should win at least one of these races. If you have a horse that is 18 to 1 out of 18 races this  horse should win one race.  This article will give you some qualities to look for that might make a horse more likely to win the race than the odds play out.

How to bet in-running on horse racing

How to bet in-running on horse racing

Betting in-running offers a great chance to make money.

by  donnierayjones 

With so many races to bet on across the globe, there are endless opportunities for betting. There is also a seemingly endless supply of information to help you make informed betting choices.

The key is knowing how best to use that information if you want to make a profit.

Using an exchange betting app allows you access to all the data you need, and it also allows you to bet and trade on the move.

You can even use the app to set up everything in advance with certain triggers for how much you want to stake, or how much you want to try to win, or what price you want to back or lay a horse at. You just need to find what’s comfortable for you.

When it comes to the information itself, then it’s about learning how a horse has previously performed or how races are often run at certain tracks, for example.

It is generally much easier to lay a horse in-running than to back as you don’t actually then need the horse to win.

So if you look at the data available on your betting app and find a horse is a front-runner but then rarely wins or usually finishes out of the money, it is a good opportunity to lay in-running at a shorter price after backing the horse before the off. This can then help to guarantee a profit.

Alternatively, Lord Windermere came from last to first to win the 2014 Cheltenham Gold Cup and would have been a big price in-running.

If a particular track favours front-runners, though, then you need to be more cautious about trying to lay horses at shorter prices. A track like Chester does favour front-runners, especially if they are drawn low.

And you always want to avoid trying to take on short-priced favourites in-running as there is rarely any scope to make a profit.

Once you have sifted through all the information to find the horses you want to back or lay in-running that day, then you can decide how you want to set up your bets.

You can do it all manually in a few clicks. Or you could just take advantage of the automated functions on a betting app and apply certain rules to your bets.

That is the simple part. Taking the time to go through all the data is what requires the hard yards being put in. But, once you do, then you have a much better chance of winning money.

Nicky Henderson hoping for Cheltenham Festival boost

It’s been a mixed week for trainer Nicky Henderson when it comes to his prospects of success at the Cheltenham Festival next March.

His 2013 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Bobs Worth put in a disappointing performance at Leopardstown on Sunday, but that blow was softened by the return to the racecourse of Sprinter Scare.

Henderson has already endured one setback this season when his 2014 Champion Hurdle runner-up My Tent Or Yours was ruled out for the entire campaign with a tendon injury.

He is also still waiting to get 2013 Arkle Trophy winner Simonsig back on the track. Simonsig has not run since that day due to a splint in his near-fore, but it is hoped he will be back in time for Cheltenham. Read more »

Briar Hill worth considering as potential World Hurdle winner

If Briar Hill hadn’t fallen at the seventh flight shortly after the halfway stage of the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last March, and had gone on, as the market anticipated, to land the prestigious three-mile contest, the chances are he would have been close to vying for favouritism in the ante-post market for the 2015 World Hurdle, Read more »

Friday Breeders Cup Picks 10/31/2014

Hennessy Gold Cup

Hennessy Gold Cup

Open to horses aged four years and older, the Hennessy Gold Cup is one of the key races of the national hunt season and the 2014 renewal looks set to be as exciting as ever. Due to be run at Newbury Racecourse on Saturday 29th November, the 2014 Hennessy Gold Cup is set to feature 2012 winner Bobs Worth who will be bidding to put a disappointing run in the Cheltenham Gold Cup behind him where he could only finishing fifth when strongly fancied to repeat his win of twelve months prior. Nicky Henderson’s charge was sent off as the 6/4 favourite for the Cheltenham showpiece but he never really picked up when asked by jockey Barry Geraghty. The result was somewhat of a shock as the first three home in the Gold Cup were all available at double figure odds, and it may well be that the 2014 Cheltenham Gold Cup was just one of those races. The layers on Betfair are obviously willing to forgive the bad run from Bobs Worth as he’s currently on offer at odds of around 11/2 on the betting exchange. Bobs Worth will clearly be burdened with top weight, but his previous winning form at Newbury will stand him in good stead come race time. Read more »
