JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial

2012-01-26T07:21:00.000-08:00

JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial

The JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial race is the first race for the juvenile runners kicking off at 12:55. This is a
stepping-stone for the beginners at which any winner will certainly make way to success through out the
year.

It has been observed that the previous 6 runners from the JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial were taken from the
top. Therefore, punters would need to look at the favorites and other horses that have better odds.

One of the favorites for this year’s JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial is Baby Mix who recently won the
Cheltenham in December, 2011. Other favorite contender is Grumeti trained by Alan King also made a
triumph when he won the debut over hurdles for Totequadpot Novices Hurdle at Taunton in December
and can surely show impressive results throughout the season.

Grumeti has made some success on flat races and can certainly win the JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial.
However, He lost his unbeaten record at Newbery but promises to perform wonders for the JCB
Triumph Hurdle.

Other runners listed in this race include Sadlers Risk, Minsk, Ranjaan, Ut De Sivola, Hinterland, Dildar,
Urbain De Sivola, Darroun. Phillip Hobbs has the exciting Sadlers Risk in his yard this season who after
some good performances on the flat has now taken to hurdles. The horse made his jumping debut in the
Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton and he simply hacked up to outclass the field and enter the Triumph Hurdle
picture. Sadlers Risk is likely to have a couple more runs before the Festival and he looks a horse to keep
an eye on.

The Highclere owned Ranjaan looks like a potential Triumph Hurdle contender after two good wins
recently for Paul Nicholls. The horse was an expensive buy but he looks a talent after he won at
Kempton over Christmas before following up at Taunton in the Betfair Handicap Hurdle more recently.
Like so many at this level he could still be anything at this stage but he has shown potential and seems
to be improving which is a good sign for Triumph

If you are thinking of shopping for the best odds, Ladbrokes and Boylesports are offering the best odds.
They are also offering free bets of up to $50 to all new members.

Calculating Odds and Payoffs in Horse Betting

2012-01-24T13:42:00.000-08:00

Calculating Odds and Payoffs

Introduction

If you are passionate about learning horse betting then this guide will be of great help. You will learn
how to calculate the payoffs based on the odds as well as reading the tote board.

Understanding the odds and payoffs

The common odds is the win odds noted on each horse but literally they do not tell us much about what
the horse will pay but rather the profit you will get for the bet. For instance, if the odds of a particular
horse show as 6-1 this means that you get to receive a profit of $6 for each $1 wagered, 6-5 means that
you get a profit of $6 for each $5 wagered.

For example, if you bet $2 on a horse with odds 6:1 and the horse wins, then your dividend payout
would be $12. However, on a toteboard, the odds can be rounded off at which for 6:1 the actual odds
would be 5.6:1. The odds are rounded down due to the rules of the track. Thus, your actual payoff may
differ from the toteboard but the difference is not huge. The payouts are rounded down to the nearest
nickel and this rounding is known as breakage.

Tip: The low the odds, the low the payout/dividend. For instance, if a horse has odds of 4:1 and the
other 12:1 this would mean that the horse with odds 12:1 has a higher payout.

One thing you need to take note is that the favorites usually have low odds while the underdogs have
slightly higher odds. Therefore, if the favorites win, the payout is usually low while the reverse is true, if
the underdogs win, the payout is tremendously high.

Thus, when placing your bets, it’s wise to make straight bets on horses that have low odds at which they
have a chance of winning or showing in a race. On the other hand, in order to get a good return on your
investment, a bettor should be able to place various bets in any one given race.

Hence, it’s wise to place many bets in one race than placing several bets in different races. Therefore,
when reading the racing form, the horses with low odds are the favorites while the rest are underdogs.
However, in horseracing most races are handicapped meaning that the horses competing are of the
same level at which predicting the winner is very difficult but previous performance can give you a clear
picture.

Swinger Bets in Horse Betting

2012-01-23T17:41:00.001-08:00

The Swinger Bet
Online Horse betting can be a lot fun especially when you are able to determine the winning horse. An interesting horse bet to play is the swinger bet at which if played correctly it can easily boost your revenue. In this guide, I will outline a few tips on how to play the swinger bet effectively.

The Definition
The swinger bet is a type of bet at which you get to predict any 2 runners placed in the first 3 for any race with 6 or more runners. Hence, the swinger bet has three dividends for each race - 1st & 2nd, 1st & 3rd, and 2nd & 3rd.

It is one of the most exiting bets in horseracing but one has to master the tactics of playing this type of bet.

Playing The Bet
To the novice, the swinger bet tends to be meaningless due to the fact that its payouts can be very low at times. However, in order to get a good return on your investment making use of the swinger bet is to play it as multiples of x10 or more.

For Instance, when playing online, your swinger bet can be as follows
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] / [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] x10

This would mean that if any combination wins, your bet is multiplied by 10. For example, if the dividend is $19 for 1-6 this means that you will get a payout of $190.
If you are new to the swinger bet, you would want to know how much it costs to place the bet.
For instance, placing a bet single bet of the above [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] / [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] would cost you $15. Thus, for 10 entries of the same bet would cost you $150. Most online sportsbook will automatically calculate the total amount to pay as you click on each horse or after selection.
Now, one thing you need to pay attention is the number of horses selected. The more horses selected, is the more you pay. Taking a close look at the swinger bet shown above, it is boxed meaning all horses can come out 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd in any given order. Therefore, you should make it a point that the swinger bet is not a floating bet but a boxed bet.

An effective tactic in winning the swinger bet is to select a race that has 10 or less runners. Therefore, in order to get a good payout, it’s wise to select any of the underdogs and avoid betting on the favorites as the payout will be low given that the favorites win. For example, in a race with 10 runners, you can subtract the favorites – 3 and the last horse that shows bad odds. Therefore, you will remain with 6 horses at which you box all in the swinger bet and select any multiple.

There are a total of 8 hurdles and this event is a main feature for the novice hurdler and will run on the 8^th of January at 16.10 CET. Last year 2011, the Tolworth Hurdle was sponsored by 32Red an online casino and the event was marked as the 32Red Hurdle. In 2009 and 2010, the Blue Square Tolworth Hurdle was abandoned due to bad weather (frost &snow). This is one of the UK finest meetings that gather the novice and savvy punters to select the winning horse and most of all, punters are able to do online horse betting. All you have to do is check several online sportsbook for the best odds and make sure that all wagers have to be made before post time.

However, there are currently 5 runners but several potential runners are still waiting to feature. In addition, punters should also look at one of the top favorites Ghizao (Paul Nicholls/ Ruby Walsh) at which the jockey Ruby Walsh won 2 times consecutively in 2007 and 2008 and the trainer - Paul Nicholls having won three times. Paul Nicholls is a successful trainer having trained 4 winners of this race.

Other runners to include a star contender Megastar trained by Gary Moore. The trainer says that the horse’s performance maybe affected due to the wetness of the track but insists that the horse is in an excellent condition.

There are currently 5 registered horses and the good ones are yet to be registered for the race. The event will have lots of surprises as the selection of the lucky winner is unpredictable due to the dampness of the track.

It is not yet so clear if the track will not be affected by weather and further inspection is tacking place to check if the track will cope with the rain.

When Favorites Show The Payout Is Low

2011-12-27T21:37:00.001-08:00

When Favorites Show The Payout Is Low

Horse betting tends to be very complex and picking out the winning horses is quite a difficult task. There are several things you need to look into when analyzing each horse in a given race. One thing you need to bear in mind is that each horse has an equal chance of winning in a race especially in handicap races.

Therefore, how does one get to select the best horses for the race?

Horse betting can be very difficult only if you are a passive punter. Aggression is the key to success and you need not to be mislead by what others tell you. It’s a known fact that favorites have a 30% chance of winning in a race but when the favorites show, the payouts/dividend is usually very low. The dividend becomes meaningless especially when all favorites win the race.

The reverse is true, when the underdogs/outsiders show, the payouts/dividend is very high at which it can reach over $10k for exotic bets. From my personal point of view, I have observed that the underdogs usually win in most races and favorites tend to disappoint all the time. However, the favorites tend to show in a race rather than winning as top runner. Therefore, how do you place your bets?

The first thing you need to look at are the favorites. Yes, these horses are highly favored and their previous performance is satisfactory but you need to consider that they are competing with other horses of the same level for the first time. Since all horses are competing against each other, you need to out rule an important factor commonly known as ‘bias’. Hence, do not be too confident with the favorites but rather consider them equal to all other horses. Forget about trying to compare their previous performance with all other horses because their results are satisfactory.

Now, given that the favorites have been listed, you now need to pay more attention on selecting the underdogs. Even for the horse that is list favored, there is big value in it when it wins a race so you certainly need not to undermine it because anything can happen on the racetrack. There is always one blind side that changes everything in a race and this is the false starts that may cause a horse(s) to be scratched. All horses are subject to false starts and it happens often at which any one of your horse can be scratched and causes a change in everything.

Therefore, you need to spread your bets in a way that you minimize your risk loss to minimal. For instance, you can play two exotic bets as your major bets and other bets such as swingers, etc

1- All your selected horses boxed with the exclusion of favorites

2-All your selected horses boxed with the inclusion of all favorites

3- For swinger bets – you can select any 2 horses that you favor or alternatively you can make a combination of both the swinger and trifecta bet into one bet.

The exotic bets can be very expensive but if you do not have much of a huge bankroll, you can consider placing the exotic bets as fractional bets.

Horse Betting Tips

Horse Betting Tips

Horse Betting Tips from the Pros

If you need a winning edge in horse racing then your certainly need to follow the exact procedures. In this guide, you will learn various ways on how to select your winning horses in any given race. The guide will help you sharpen and improve your horse betting skills as well as giving you a good return on your investment.

As a professional punter, you should avoid being misled by what others tell you. Hence, you should always bring out facts through analysis and make the final decision. Your strategy should be unique and your own style. However, there are a few tips you need to consider when doing your analysis and research.

1. Firstly, you need to look at the favorites before you think of selecting any horse. It is a known fact that favorites have a 30% chance of winning in a race and these can either win, place or show in a race. On the other hand, if it is a main event, favorites that have previously won the race have a greater chance of winning. Thus, favorites would come first but this does not mean you should not look at the rest.

2. From the favorites, you now have to look at the underdogs. With the underdogs, there are various factors you need to consider. In a horse race, it’s a known fact that one or more horses can be scratched and this is often caused by false/poor starts. Hence, when selecting a horse, you need to consider its starts and if it has a history of false starts then the horse should be avoided.

3. You also need to check each horse’s previous performance. At times, many people tend to be mislead by the favorites and underdogs. For example, a favorite horse that keeps winning over short distances does not guarantee a win over long distance and the reverse is true. With horse racing, it’s all about analyzing the odds for that particular race track as well as the runners. Therefore, when looking at main events you should also check the distance of the track and compare it with the previous tracks that have been won by the favorites.

4. Horses are known to bring out a lot of surprises. For instance, punters should take note of horses that have recently been placed with blinds or those that have had their blinds removed. As a punter, you need to know that horses are able to see two visions at apparently the same time thus when blinds have been placed it helps the horse to see direct and focus mainly on the track. It has been observed that horses that have recently been placed or removed blinds are subject to fail or improve drastically in a race but as a professional punter, you have to avoid such horses cause if it is scratched that is money going down the drain.

In addition, when selecting your horses, you should avoid doing random selection and selecting horses according to their sounding names is a recipe to disaster. Always place your bets according to analysis and research and most of all, be confident that your horses will win. After selecting your horses, all you have to do is select the best type of bets and watch your money grow. With bets, try selecting boxes/exotic bets at which they reduce the risk of you losing. If you do not have much money then consider placing fractional bets for boxes/exotics.

2011-11-19T09:19:00.001-08:00

As a new punter, your main concern is how much each bet will cost before you forward the ticket. Depending on each type of bet, you need to know the cost and this will also help you to manage your bankroll as well as calculating the odds and outs for each given race. In this guide, we will look at various types of bets giving examples of betting and variation.

For straight bets – Win, Place or Show, the minimum wage allowed is $2. Thus, the dividend is based on the $2 wager. For example, if you have placed a straight bet with a total wager of $20 and the Win price is $8.50 this means you would collect $85 ($20 multiplied by $8.5 Win divided by $2 minimum.

Hint: Wagering on favorites has a Win Bet has an average of 30% to win, an average of 45% to win or place and an average of 60% to win, place or show.

Another common type of bet is the Daily Double bet at which you get to select any two horses that will finish in any order 1^st or 2^nd in the first race and second race. You need to place your bet before the start of the first race.

For Quiniela Bets, you get to select any two horses that finish first or second in any order in any given race. The minimum bet for Quiniela is $2. For example, you place a Quiniela Box of 5, 6 and 4. Therefore, you are making three separate bets and the combinations would be the outcome of the horses finishing 4-6, 4-5, 6-4, 5-4, 6-5, or 5-6 thus your minimum bet becomes $6 for Quiniela box bets.

For Quiniela double, it is a bet of two winning Quiniela bets in the last two races. In order to win, all Quiniela bets of the last two races should be a win.

Now, with the Quiniela Wheel, you select any of your favorite horse to win with all other horses. For example, you select a wheel of 4 with a combination of 6 other horses your minimum bet would be $12.

The Betting variations according to the minimum bet become different and more expensive when placing the Perfacta and Trifecta bets.

The minimum bet allowed for Trifecta bets is $1. For example, a $1 Trifecta of 3-5-2 would cost you a total of $6 because the combinations would be finish 2-5-3, 2-3-5, 3-5-2, 3-2-5, 5-3-2 or 5-2-3; for a win.

A straight Trifecta would cost $2 with a bet of any three horses such as 7-4-5 and should finish in the exact order.

Now looking at Perfecta bets, the minimum bet increases depending on the number of horses placed and an addition of a horse increases the minimum bet by a significant margin. For example, A Perfecta box of 5 horses with minimum bet of $2 would cost $40 due to the fact that it consists of 20 bets and a Perfecta box of 6 horses would cost $60 as it consists of 30 bets.

Bettors should be advised that the types of bets and rules differ from one country to another and you would have to ask the bookmaker or sportsbook if not sure when you consider placing any bets.

Type of Horse Bets

Type of Horse Bets

Learn all about horse racing and receive our top Horse Selections by Calling 1-888-730-2667

If you are passionate about horse betting you certainly need to know the various types of bets available
to help you get started. Horse betting is a difficult spot but with great knowledge you are able to attain
a good return on your investment. Just like any other form of betting, you certainly need to practice as
well as trying out each bet so as to select a betting option of preference.

Another vital aspect you need to consider when selecting betting option is its relation to your bankroll
as well as its possibility of a favorable outcome. In this guide, I will outline various types of Horse bets available.

The first simplest horse bets to learn are the Straight bets which include Win Bet, Place Bet, Show Bet
and The Swinger Bet at which you get to select any one horse in the race with the exception of the
Swinger Bet.

With the Win Bet, you simply select any horse you consider to be the winner.

Example: Calling The Bet - Race 1: $10 win on No.8. Please note: If the horse wins, you get a payout
dividend according to the total amount wagered. Thus, if the results come out as Tab Win: $14.36 and
No.8 is the winner, this means that if the minimum bet allowed is pegged at $1, you will get to receive
$14.36 for every $1 wagered. In this case, your total dividend payout is $143.60

With the Place Bet, you select any horse that you think will either come out 1st, or 2nd in a race. Please note: there is no place betting in a horse race with max 6 runners or less. The Place Bet is another way at which you can reduce your risk when playing the Win Bet. This means you can play both the win bet and the place bet. If it wins, you win both sides and if the Win bet does not come through but The Place Bet is a win, you can win a dividend that can cover your Win Bet. Calling the bet: $10 Place on No6. With the Show Bet, you get to select any horse that you think will come out top 3. Calling the bet: $10
Show on No6.

*Please Note: some Totes will include both the Place bet and The Show Bet as Place bets and dividend is paid out according to the order of outcome.

Another common bet is the Swinger Bet. With the swinger bet also known as the pair bet, you get to
select any two horses that you think will win the race in any predetermined order - 1st and 2nd; 2nd and 1st; 2nd and 3rd or 3rd and 2nd; 1st and 3rd or 3rd and 1st. Calling the bet: Swinger 7/11

Now, we will look at the various types of bets commonly known as Exotic Bets because the betting
is done in an order at which the horse will finish the race. The commonly known exotic bets include:
Exacta Bet, Trifecta Bet, Quartet Bet, and The Quinella Bet

Exacta Bet: You get to select any two horses that you think will win in the exact order – 1st and 2nd.
However, if you are uncertain which of the two horses will come out first or second you can simply take the Exacta Box Bet at which the horses selected can finish in any order e.g. 12 and 7 and 7 and 12.

Calling the bet: Exacta 12/7 or Exacta Box 12/7
Trifecta Bet: You get to select any three horses in a race that you think will finish in the exact order. The Trifecta bet is very difficult when compared to the Win, Place, Show and Swingers bets but their dividend can be very high. The Trifecta Bet has several bet ways which include Straight line, Box, Single Floating Banker, and Single Banker Fixed Position.
Quartet Bet: The Quartet bet is similar to the trifecta bet but the only difference is that you get to select any four horses that you fancy will finish in the exact order: 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. This type of bet is more complex and very expensive and the dividend is very high at times thousands of dollars. It also has similar bet ways to as the Trifecta bet - Straight line, Box, Single Floating Banker, and Single Banker Fixed Position.

Quinella Bet: You select any horse that you think will finish first or second irrespective of the order.

As a new punter, exotic bets can be very expensive but you should not shun away from these types of
bets as you can place fractional bets at which for each dividend paid you get to receive a fraction of
the dividend. Always try out each bet so as to select a bet that is effective and compatible with your
bankroll.

Breeders Cup - An Exciting Event for Punters

2011-11-03T16:47:00.000-07:00

Breeders Cup – An Exciting Event For Punters
Just a day away from the Breeders Cup, punters are eagerly waiting to see which runner will clinch the Breeders Cup Mile event. The event changes its location yearly and this year it is being held at Churchill Downs. It is a two day event at which punters will get to enjoy great betting experience.
An interesting fact about attending this event is that each Breeders Cup Race has a prize pool of at least $1 million with a total of 14 races making it a prize pool of $25 million. For Punters, any Breeders Cup Race has the potential to boost your bankroll and you can certainly get to walk away with a large sum of cash.

If you want to make Big Bucks like we did at the Breeders Cup last year than Watch the video below and call 1-888-730-2667 right away.

However, in order to maximize your return on investment you certainly need to consider looking back at the Breeders Cup History and Legends as well as the Odds. For instance, from previous years, the breeders Cup has emerged great stars from US with the likes of Azeri, Ravens Pass, A.P. Indy, Ferdinand,Cigar, Alysheba, Personal Ensign, Curlin and Sunday Silence. Also, the Turf is dominated with European horses with Ouija Board having won two titles in three years. Therefore, you need to look at the US horses as well as European horses to maximize your profit.
Tipping

Include the favorites

It’s pretty obvious that the favorites will always come out 50% of the time and it can be an easy way to build your bankroll if you are to follow the trend. Unlike other events, favorites in a main event have a chance of a win, place or show.
Everyone is eying for the favorites and many bookies are offering insurance or cash back if the favorites do not win. So why not take this chance as it will not knock on your door twice. For new punters, bookies are offering free bets of up to $200 for the main event and all you have to do is register a new account and start betting free.
Bet according to the odds
Try placing your bets according to the odds rather than placing bets according to sounding names or guess work. It’s all about minimizing your risk loss and certainly wagering on horses that have better odds are likely to increase your return on investment. Also include horses with marginal / average odds and this can easily be done when playing various types of bets such as Boxes, Trifecta, Quartet, etc.
Spread Your Bets on any given race of preference
Betting on all races can easily deplete your bankroll or you will not be able to yield a good dividend on your return. Bear in mind that each race of the Breeders Cup has a prize pool of at least $1 million so definitely there is a guarantee that each race will have good payouts. Therefore, you can simply spot any one race of interest. Once done, you then have to play as many bets as you can for that particular race. The bets to include can be swingers, trifecta, a combination of both swinger and trifecta, boxes such as quartet bets, etc.

Breeders Cup Odds

2011-11-02T20:51:00.000-07:00

Now that the post positions for the $5M Breeders’ Cup Classic have been
drawn, the strategizing now begins! What do these starting positions mean
for the favorites and the longshots? Uncle Mo, the race’s first choice, will
have to contend with outside post 12 of 13 – but his speed will serve him
well going into the first turn. Uncle Mo will also be looking to become the
first horse in Breeders’ Cup history to win a Breeders’ Cup race the year after
winning the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.

Havre de Grace, who is attempting to become the second female horse to
win the Breeders’ Cup Classic, will be contending with post 10. Not known
as a particularly quick starter, Havre de Grace will depend on jockey Ramon
Dominguez to steer clear of traffic troubles early on. Expected pacesetter
Game On Dude will break from post 8, which suits his frontrunning style. And
breaking from extreme inside post 1 is longshot Prayer for Relief, whose odds
of winning do not improve with that unlucky draw. Bet on the Breeders’ Cup.

Horse Betting for High Rollers

2011-08-01T21:43:00.001-07:00

Horse Betting for High Rollers

Wanna be a high roller? Well if you want to join the elite horse handicappers in the world than call 1-888-730-2667 to see how you can join Coopers Pick and their top horse advisory service for high net worth gamblers.

As a professional high roller, you certainly need to get a good return from your investment as well as reducing the risk to minimal. Undoubtedly, you need to use an effective betting strategy that will give you a winning edge. With horse betting, winning strategies tend to be complex for low stake punters and easy for high rollers.

The majority of punters especially the novice tend to think that the more money you place on your bets is the easier you deplete your bankroll and others will tell you that it’s a recipe to disaster.

I have been a professional punter for years, having learnt and observed so many things. Believe it or not, the more money you place on your bets is the more money your get as well as reducing your risk. As they say, ‘money comes to money’. It is very easy to get a return of $100 out of an investment of $1,000 while it is difficult, at times not possible to get a return of $1,000 out of an investment of $100 and when this happens, it is known as pure luck. Yes, that’s true, riches frequently knock at those who are rich while the poor always eat the crumbs. This too applies with horse betting, no matter how hard you try, you will always find it very hard to win lots of cash at horses due to the fact that you are betting with less money.

Horse betting can be an easy way to build your bankroll as well as investing your funds. Many people will always tell you that horseracing is all about taking chances. Nevertheless, one thing I should tell you is that with horseracing, strategies can be used to give a favorable return on your investment. Of course, if you consider horse betting as gambling then you are chancing your way to riches. But if you consider horseracing as an investment then you certainly have to apply strategies as well as understanding the odds.

In this guide, I will outline an effective strategy for high rollers that will certainly yield a favorable return on your investment. Effective betting strategies are not just found online free, and if it’s available free, it will always be general and seldom works. However, I will provide this strategy as a helping hand to high rollers and those who are willing to take on the journey of high rollers.

Count on me, I personally use the strategy on a weekly base and it always works all the time and I have found it easy to pay my bills as well as offsetting my mortgage but the only setback is that you need to manage your bankroll properly as well as applying discipline.

If you are a high roller searching for an effective horse betting strategy then consider playing the quartet bets. There are various quartet bets available and these include - Quartet straight line, Quartet box, Quartet banker, Quartet single floating banker, Quartet double floating banker, and Quartet Single Banker Fixed Position

Before you think of playing Quartet bets, you need to understand all the quartet bets available so as to get a thorough understanding of this strategy.

Please note: This strategy is costly and not suitable for beginners. Placing fractional bets with this strategy can be worthwhile but you will not get much out of it.

The favorite quartet bet I always play is the Quartet box – 7 horses. Increasing the number of horses for the quartet box above 7 becomes very costly and the dividend can be zero / nil at times.

With Quartet box – 7 horses, on a single race one can make use of three quartet boxes i.e. a total investment / bet of $ xxxx per race i.e. $xxxx per bet. With this strategy, I would have to select three races that I think will have a high cash pool for quartet payouts. For the first race, you have to make use of your own money while the second and third race will make use of funds that have been won by the first race.

Now, what you have to do is observe your race sheet/form that shows various races and spot the races with a max of 12 horses or below. Selecting a race with more than 12 horses with this strategy reduces the winning probability and becomes too risky.

Once you have selected races with max of 12 horses and below, you need to select any three and proceed to place your bets as follows:

Before I get into deep, I will briefly explain the quartet box to those who are new to quartet. For example, when you place a bet as Quartet box |3-8-7-5 or Quatet Box |4-6-9-10-11-3 this means that you predict any four horse to come out in any order disregard to whether you have placed a horse first or last.

The quartet box is abbreviated as QBX and all you have to do is write it down as QBX |4-6-9-10-11-3

Example:

Race 1 – Total 12 horse: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12

Favorites: 8-4-1

Your Quartet box bets can be placed as follows;

Bet 1: QBX | 2-10-12-5-9-7-11

Bet 2: QBX | 8-2-10-12-5-11-3

Bet 3: QBX |8-4-1-2-10-12-5

Looking at Bet 1, this should be your main bet at which you have out ruled the favorites and replaced them with the underdogs as well as other horses you think may win. The main reason for not placing the favorites is that the quartet prize pool is very high when favorites are not included and very low when favorites win. Therefore, this should be your main target to win big.

Now looking at Bet 2, it includes the top favored horse while out ruling the other two favorites due to that fact that the top favored horse has a 50% chance of either a place or show in a race. From selecting the top favored, you place all the underdogs as well as the horse you did not include in the 1^st bet. Bet 2 is known as a way of reducing your risk in the event that Bet 1 (main bet) fails in the event that a favorite has been included. This means, with bet 1, you get to lose when favorites win but this should be covered with Bet 2 and Bet 3. Bet 3 consists of the favorites and the underdogs. Therefore, you only get to lose the main bet when favorites pull through and bet 2 and bet 3 will help you recover your loses but will not be able to cover all of them and at times it can be a draw (you get to receive the total amount you wagered on all three bets back without realizing any dividend) as the prize pool is very low due to favorites winning.

From my observation, a race with max of 12 horses and below have a higher quartet payout because favorites always fail most of the time when the horses are few. However, when placing your horses, it should not be guesswork at all. You need to look at the odds as well as the previous performance of each horse including its trainer. With a bit of analysis, it will help you select good horses thereby enhancing the strategy to give you a winning edge. However, with quartet box, simple analysis of each horse is needed because of the boxes unlike the Quartet Banker, Quartet Floating Banker and other betting types that need you to select a horse that you think will certainly show.

Bet wisely and do not forget to manage your bankroll as well as applying discipline.

An Effective Horse Betting Strategy

2011-07-26T09:22:00.000-07:00

There are few Horse Betting Strategies out there that actually make money but guess what?

After years at the track we have nailed the secret sauce to betting on horses and have thus been considered one of the greatest living horse handicappers in the United States. To get started with a horse racing package today please read through our strategy and tips below and than call us at 1-888-730-2667.

When it comes to horse betting, a punter has to look at various aspects before you consider placing your bets. However, analysis makes perfect but it should not mislead you but act as a guide. Horse betting is very difficult and no matter how hard you may analyze each individual horse there can be a lot of surprises. Always try to avoid chancing when placing your bets. Luck will never yield profitable results. For example, betting on sounding names or betting on even horses is a recipe to disaster.

You need to apply math, strategy and analysis before you consider placing any of your bets. For instance, betting on the favorites and underdogs can deplete your bankroll especially during main events. It’s a known fact that the top favored horse has a 50% chance to place or show during a race but placing a top favored horse as a win is not guaranteed.

Therefore, what kind of strategies would you consider when placing bets?

An important factor you need to understand is that horseracing and sports betting are way different. In sports betting, with great analysis and research, you can certainly pick a team that will win. For instance, a team in the top league playing a team at the bottom of the league guarantees you a win at which many punters will place bets on the favorites. If the favorite wins, the dividend is very low than the underdog winning or covering the spread.

However, with horseracing, betting becomes complex. The favorites cannot be guaranteed to win as there are many factors that influence the chances of a horse winning such as the starts. Many horses including favorites tend to be scratched out due to false starts or others will start poorly. Other aspects to look at include the distance of the racecourse, its condition whether muddy, sandy, etc and to include each horse’s previous performance.

A punter can deeply look further in to analysis such as the trainers, the jockeys, as well as other factors but as a professional punter, you need to spread your bets so as to obtain a favorable return on investment. Therefore, you need to consider the effective types of bets that will certainly yield a good return.

Boxes are essential types of bets that can boost your bankroll effectively. Many punters especially the novice tend to think that boxes are only meant for punters with a high bankroll at which this is not true at all because you can play boxes using fractions also known as fractional bets. Fractional bets give you an opportunity to get a certain percentage out of the actual dividend. For example, when playing quartet bets as fractional bets of 10%, if your bet wins, you get 10% of the actual dividend.

Thus, the major types of bets that a punter can look into include the quartet, swingers, and trifecta. Therefore, you main bet should be the quartet bet. You can place your quartet bet as follows:

Floating Banker /any other 4 or 5 horses

e.g. 10 – 7, 12, 2, 9, 15

The floating banker is the horse you guarantee will win, place, or show. This means, in order to win the quartet, the floating banker has to win, show or place then followed by the other three you have listed.

This strategy works perfect for a race with a total of 12 horses or less.

Example 1

In a race of 12 horses, 3 horses have been selected as the favorites this means your should subtract 12 – 3 leaving you with 9 horses.

As a professional punter, you should not select a favorite as a floating banker. According to the odds and analysis, it is wise to select any one of the underdogs as the floating banker. Therefore, your quartet bet could be as follows:

Favorites = 7-4-9

Quartet = 3 | 5-10-8-2-12

According to the odds, I have included all the underdogs and two other horses that I think can pull through. From the above, it shows that a total of 9 horses have been select, of course not playing the favorites and leaving out 3 unselected horses.

Now, from playing quartet, we move on to play the swinger and trifecta. To make it effective, you have to include both the trifecta and swinger combinations to act as a single bet as shown bellow;

Example 2

In this bet, I would have to include the 3 unselected horses as a way of spreading the bets.

Swinger Trifecta bet

1- 6-11-3 | 7-4-9-3 x 10+

From the above bet, I have placed all the favorites as well as the unselected horses and any two from the pool with a multiplier value of 10x or anything above e.g. 20x or 100x.

For example, if the results come out as 3-7-5-10. Of course, I would have lost the quartet bet but would have won the swinger / trifecta with a winning swinger bet 3/7. Therefore, if the swinger pays a dividend of $7 this would mean I would have won $70, if I had made the swinger& trifecta bet of 10x and for 100x I would collect $700.

The idea that I am trying to put across is that if you spread your bets, there are chances of you wining the large share of the prize. Your main target should be quartet bets at which they can make you win thousands of dollars and the dividend becomes high if the favorites do not win, place or show at which this always happens during main event events.

Therefore, these bets should be played as sets and you can have as many sets as you can but make sure you manage your bankroll effectively.

Each set should consist of a quartet bet and the combined swinger –trifecta bet. Your multiplier value should be consistent with each set as well as the numbers of horses in your quartet bet. This strategy if applied properly can certainly give you a good return on your investment.

There are many factors you need to consider when placing horse bets during major events. A major mistake made by many punters is that they tend to base horse racing on luck. Some place bets according to the horses amusing names/sounding names and others tend to select horses according to their favorite number/position.

As a professional punter or you looking forward to become a professional punter, you should never place your bets according to assumptions. Luck never works, if by any chance it moves your way there are greater chances that it will not knock again on your door. You need to do a lot of homework as well as research for you to be on a wining edge.

Here is a betting formula you should always employ:

Information + Strategy = Profitable Results

Most festivals run annually and one important factor to consider is the previous results of horses that have won on the track as well as its trainers. The previous horses can be running in the current event and these are often the favorites because they would have won previously and they are very familiar with the track.

Therefore, your main key factors would be for you to look at the horses running on the track, their age, its trainers, as well as its recent performance. It is a known fact that the favorites will always make an effort to win, place or show during a main event and you certainly do not have to sideline these in your betting system. However, this does not mean you should not consider the second tier and the darkhorses.

Some horses can be new to the track while others it would be their first time to run over a long racecourse. What you need to understand is that horses will prepare themselves for test run exercises on the racecourse before the event and this is one main reason that makes the odds to change on a daily base. A favorite may not even perform well during it test run exercise and this is the moment you get to focus on the horses that are performing well during the exercise.

Other horses may not perform well during the exercises because they will be trying to be familiar with the racecourse but it does not leave the benefit of a doubt that the horses that perform well during their test runs exercises will certainly perform well or even better on the day of the main event.

Therefore, with horse racing events, you certainly need to keep updated on what is happening during the exercises before the main event has begun. It’s not about guess work but facts in hand will certainly help you to archive great results.

After acquiring all the necessary information, your next step it to play exotic bets / boxes. Handicapping at major events tend to be very difficult but if you spread your bets there are chances that you will get it right especially when you select the horses that run well as well as including the favorites. Your type of bets can include Superfecta, Trifecta, or quartet. Having so many exotic tickets can make things complex in a way that you will not be able to yield any dividend from your investment.

Belmont Stakes Results

2011 Belmont Stakes Results - Ruler On Ice leads to Victory

Winner: Ruler On Ice – No.3

Place: Stay Thirsty – No.2

Show: Brilliant Speed – No.5

Forth: Nehro – No.6

Once again Coopers Pick clients made money on every triple crown event calling the place and show positions for the Belmont Stakes. Overall those who bet $50.00 on the stakes made over $200.00.

Ruler On Ice had never won a race in the Stakes and seemed outclassed in this wet, sloppy, muddy track. However, the horse proved everyone wrong.

‘Was it mere luck for Ruler On Ice to clinch the 143^rd running of the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park?’

‘Was Animal Kingdom unlucky?

Shackleford gave his best but later faded and came out fifth one-step ahead of Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom. The first furlong, Shackleford was able to break cleanly but it seemed like take the muddy track was too much for him to handle and had no much stamina to finish the race strong. It seemed like the wet and sloppy track changed everything.

Animal Kingdom was very unlucky colliding with Monzon just out of the gate almost losing his jockey and he never recovered.

Ruler On Ice won the 2011 Belmont Stakes and he had never won a stakes race before, could this be fluke? Ruler On Ice – trained by Jose Valdivia Jr. was the right horse in the right place at that particular moment. He ran well off the pace and won by less than a length from Stay Thirsty. There was success in his blood as he was the grandson of Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus. Stay Thirsty owned by Mike Repole finished a close second.

Stay Thirsty seemed like a bad bet but remained strong to finish second in the race although he came out last during the Kentucky Derby. Stay Thirsty built so much confidence in the Belmont Stakes and his achievement was well enough for the muddy track despite having a history of bad showings.

Brilliant Speed could have won the race, taking a lead with three-sixteenths to go, he faded finishing third. Maybe he was not familiar with the track but it was a poor ride for Joel Rosario.

Master of Hounds did not to like the slop but I think we are yet to see more from him.

The 2011 Triple Crown Season has ended but there is still so much more waiting ahead of us in the last 6 months of 2011. Most of these horses still have so much more to prove and show us. There are many things we can learn from the Triple Crown season so as to sharpen and improve our horse betting skills. Horseracing will remain exciting as ever.

On Saturday June 11, the gates open for the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park racing a total of 12 contenders on a 1 ½ mile track. The race known as the ‘Test of the Champion’ will surely have so much at stake having the pervious winners – the Kentucky derby winner and Preakness stakes winner. We will certainly see a lot of surprises as it is the final leg of the Triple Crown

In the Preakness Stakes, Animal Kingdom, the Kentucky Derby winner gave all his best but Shackleford broke the wire first and was just half a length ahead.

Is there still hope for any of these two to win the Belmont Stakes?

Others say that the Belmont stakes is a race between Animal Kingdom vs. Shackleford and 10 others.

It seemed like Animal Kingdom was racing to the Triple Crown. It could have been so close but the Triple Crown has remained unclaimed for a streak of 23 years. It has become obvious that the race for the Triple Crown is very difficult for the three-year-old thoroughbred American horses to clinch the biggest prize.

For the Belmont Stakes, the favorites include Animal Kingdom, Shackleford, and Mucho Macho Man but are these three a guarantee?

Animal Kingdom will be making his third start and his previous were impressive although Shackleford did a surprise by pacing the Derby winner by half a length in the Preakness Stakes. Comparing the two, Shackleford would have to rely on making a good start so as to out beat Animal Kingdom as he did previously. Mucho Macho Man has not been making an impressive start and at the Preakness stakes, he came out sixth having lost a shoe during the race.

Nehro, another prospective contender is versatile and can show anywhere.

However, as a professional punter, I have no doubt that Animal Kingdom and Shackleford will certainly show and the other horses that can show much surprise is Master of Hounds, Santiva, and Brilliant Speed. These horses can surely boost your bankroll and if you did not win anything during the previous events then you surely have to utilize your last chance and get a share of the cake. Although playing boxes can be costly, you will get to win something form the pool.

Straight bets tend to be very costly during major events hence it is wise to focus mainly on boxes. My best bet is for you to include the favorites as well as the other horses listed above and make use of Animal Kingdom and Shackleford as your banker.

Top 10 Greatest Jockeys of All-Time

2011-06-04T17:20:00.000-07:00

The Top 10 Greatest Jockeys of All-Time

So what individual characteristics make a good racehorse jockey?

Well before we get into that lets get you the greatest horse racing picks OF ALL TIME. Call Mike Cooper the most famous horse handicapper of all time after you read this article: 1-888-730-2667

Some say, in order to become great, a jockey has to have a balance of good management, horse sense, skill, and courage. Others will add perhaps a little aggressiveness and even insanity.

While the debate about what makes a jockey great goes on, so does the argument of who is the greatest jock of all time. Let alone a list of the top 10 greatest of all time.

Do you factor in wins? Where do you fit in the number of mounts a rider rode?

Does character make a difference in the meaning of greatness? In addition, how much do you factor in regional versus national success?

For example, jockey Russell Baze holds the record for most career wins with 11,260, but has never won an American Classic Race.

Also, where might you rank Edward "Snapper" Garrison, who was one of the all-time great finishers, and for whom the term "Garrison finish," meaning a finish where the winner comes storming from out of nowhere to win by a small margin at the last moment.

It is a difficult comparison, but I have managed to put together a list, and here are my choices.

No. 10: Jacinto Vasquez. 5,231 career wins. The first American jockey to ever win 5,000 races. Among those, Kentucky Derby winners, Foolish Pleasure in 1975, and Genuine Risk in 1980. Vasquez might have been the greatest rider of fillies in American history, guiding great filly Ruffian for her entire career, as well as Princess Rooney--winner of the first Breeders' Cup Distaff.

No. 9: Kent Desormeaux. 5,324 career wins. Holding the U.S. record for most races won in a single year in 1989, with 598, this Ragin’ Cajun has ridden over 24,000 races, and has been in the irons on three Kentucky Derby winners--Real Quiet in 1998, (also that year’s Preakness Stakes winner), Fusaichi Pegasus in 2000, and aboard Big Brown, in 2008.

No. 8: Angel Cordero. 7,057 career wins. Being the only Puerto Rican to date to be inducted into the United States' Racing Hall of Fame, Cordero was a fierce competitor always willing to push the envelope of what was legal race riding and what drew a suspension for fouling someone. The winner of six Triple Crown races, and four Breeders' Cup races, Cordero suffered a career-ending injury in 1992.

No. 7: Chris McCarron. 7,141 career wins. McCarron won nine Breeders' Cup races, including a record-tying five Breeders' Cup Classics, and rode six Triple Crown winners, nearly achieving the Triple Crown aboard Alysheba in 1987. The now TVG analyst dominated California racing for two decades, winning the very competitive Del Mar riding title five times before retiring as thoroughbred racing's all-time leader in purse earnings, with more than $264 million in winnings.

No. 6: Pat Day. 8,083 career wins. One of the most dominant jockey’s of the 1990s, the recipient of four Eclipse Awards for outstanding jockey of the year won nine Triple Crown races and 12 Breeders' Cup races. More than anyone, except Jerry Bailey. He is the only jockey to win three consecutive Preakness Stakes, having done so from 1994 to 1996.

No. 5: Gary Stevens. 4,888 career wins. Winner of the prestigious George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award in 1996, the always affable yet competitive Stevens won eight Triple Crown races, coming the closest to winning the entire Triple Crown in 1997 aboard Silver Charm. Stevens also won seven Breeders' Cup races. Today he is a horseracing analyst for HRTV and NBC Sports.

No. 4: Willie Shoemaker. 8,833 career wins. The “Shoe” is a giant in horseracing and one of the all-time legends riding a total of 40,350 races and winning the United States Champion Jockey by earnings, a record 10 times before retiring in 1990. The praiseworthy recipient of the coveted George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award in 1951, rode his first professional race in March 1949, winning his first outing a month later before going on the win four Kentucky Derbies, a pair of Preakness Stakes wins, five Belmont wins, and a Breeders’ Cup Classic in 1987 aboard Ferdinand. Who later captured Horse of the Year honors.

No. 3: Eddie Arcaro. 4,779 career wins. A fierce competitor, a great judge of pace, and a strong finisher on a horse, the six-time winner of the United States Champion Jockey by earnings, won more American Classic Races than any other jockey in history, and is the only rider to have won the Triple Crown twice -- in 1941 on Whirlaway and again in 1948 on Citation. He is tied with Bill Hartack for most Derby wins at five, and has the most wins in the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes with six.

No. 2: George Woolf. 721 career wins. With nerves of steel, a great judgment of pace, and the uncanny ability to foresee how a race would play out, the “Iceman” made horse racing history in 1935 when he rode Azucar to victory in the first $100,000 horse race --the Santa Anita Handicap. While only registering 3,784 mounts in his career, the Canadian-born jockey is perhaps best known for his performance in the famous 1938 match race when he rode Seabiscuit to victory over the heavily favored Triple Crown champion War Admiral at Pimlico. A consummate professional, he was the jockey of his era and is still revered by many as one of the greatest talents ever to grace the Sport of Kings.

No. 1: Laffit Pincay. 9,530 career wins. A strong finisher, great strategist, and worthy recipient of the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award in 1970, the native Panamanian won the Kentucky Derby in 1984 aboard Swale and also took three consecutive Belmont Stakes between 1982 and 1984. However, he will be most remembered for his days aboard 1973 Santa Anita Derby winner, Sham, as the two battled their archenemy--super horse Secretariat—coming up second in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, before a disappointing fifth at Pimlico.

Honorable Mentions: Russell Baze, Jerry Bailey, Bill Hartack, and Calvin Borel.
