Online Betting Tips Horse Racing - How To Find A Chink In The Bookies Armour
Those greedy bookies are putting up more and more markets to try and extract more and more of the punters hard earned on bets they know where the average never stood a chance. They may as well just hand over their wallet and let the bookmaker help himself to a wad of cash! So do we stand a chance?
Should we just give up and get a new hobby? (I here flower arranging is fun). Before you do head off to sign up to your local basket-weaving group....stop! Because there is hope if you are clever and know how to hit the bookmakers weak points.
If you head into your local bookmakers or bet online you will be bombarded with offers all designed to get your head spinning and worded in such ways as to make you think there is easy cash for the taking.
Lucky 15 Anyone? That's 15 times your unit stake i.e. 1 Lucky 15 cost 15 to place. As soon as your first bet goes down 8 of your bets have gone leaving you trying to claw back your stake money with the last three winners if your lucky. No wonder most bookies will give you double the odds for one winner, as they know most punters will end up with one 2/1 winner on their slip. Double the odds 4/1, that's a fiver back for 15 pounds outlay. Another tenner to the bookie.
Placepot anyone? By the time you have permed your way to finding a winning bet your unit stake gets lower and lower as you put more horses in each race. You end up with 63bets at 10pence a line costing 6.30 and get 1 line up. Whoopee, you run off to check the Tote return..... 42 to a 1 unit. The kind lady at the Tote booth hands you the grand total of 4.20 leaving you 2.10 out of pocket! We have all been there. So where are these chinks?
If you want to make long-term profit at horse racing you need to know how to fight back and not get dragged into the bookmakers traps. Value betting is one way. There are may theories about how to identify value. Finding a method that works is well worth the effort. For the value hunter I highly recommend using racing systems as another weapon we can use against the bookmaker. I have personally designed many over the years with varying degrees of success. Some have made me fortunes and others have lost a fair few quid. I use systems that I know work consistently and have been tested over long profitable periods of time.
Staking plans are another chink. Not the old doubling up after a loser type staking plans. I am talking about tried and tested proven plans that will swing the odds in your favour if used correctly.
