Using The Speed Rating Class Pars
Speed ratings can help you uncover winners in many ways—but one powerful, often overlooked approach is using class pars to narrow down the field. On every Inform Racing race card, you’ll see a class par figure in the race header, followed by an H. Class Par: This shows the average winning speed rating for races […]
Is Value Betting Just Backing Horses At Big Odds?
I have been looking more and more at backing horses at bigger prices lately, mainly as a result of sending out some daily selections to subscribers, which at first included two win bets and an each way bet each day. After five months I decided to stop posting the win bets, as despite a not […]
Betting Against Short Priced Favourites
Short priced favourites win a heck of a lot of races. In fact as you will see in the short video below, in the past two years, backing horses at 1/3 or shorter would have given you close to an 80% strike rate of winning bets. However, this stat is significantly neutralised when you see […]
Speed Ratings Laying System
Just over a week or so ago I came up with a simple idea that I thought would provide the basis of a profitable laying system using the Inform Racing speed ratings. After a full 7 days trial, a level stakes profit of 18.75 points and a 90% strike rate of success, I am keen […]
Top Distance Winners
On my last post, 11th July ‘The Inform Racing Race Cards’, I discussed three methods that had recently provided good winning bets using the ratings and one of these was following top distance winners. On the Inform Racing race cards, there is a Distance column (Dis) and this gives the best speed rating for each […]
Betting to win
Why do we bet? There must be a good reason because there are thousands and thousands of punters who constantly give their money away like they would hate to do in other areas of their life. ‘I just got charged nearly £12 for two pints, I was robbed!’ they scream, yet they quite happily whack twenty quid […]
Van Der Wheil Ratings
Van Der Wheil ratings or VDW ratings as they are usually known are a way of rating a horse by its class or ability and form. It was created quite a few years ago by the mysterious writer, Che Van Der Wheil and nicknamed the Flying Dutchman, who wrote his notes in the old Sporting Chronicle […]
Recovery Staking And How To Flip It For A Profit
If you find a system or betting method that doesn’t win every time but doesn’t often have long losing runs, you may be keen to use a recovery staking plan that involves increasing your stakes to recover all losses. You may also want to take yourself down to the doctors at the same time and […]
Each Way Betting
Having posted a few each way bets lately myself I thought it may be a worthwhile exercise to look a little deeper into these bets and to see if there are any ways to improve the success rate overall or whether ditching the bet as a waste of time would be better. To those who […]
Decrease Your Expectations And Increase Your Success
When we start betting the majority of us start reading about the professional gamblers who make a living from their betting and we start to dream about making thousands of pounds every week. Unfortunately this can be a major problem before we even start because the expectation has been set too high. Do you think that […]
