Make A Living Betting On Horses

In horse race betting there are 3 ways in which to make selections. The first is to study the runners past form, performance over the distance and going. You then compare it against the opposition and then make your selection. The actual depth and amount of your study can vary from a quick look at the runners in your racing paper to an in depth review taking several hours.

An alternative method is to base your selection on percentages rather than horse form. So how exactly does that work? Let me give you an example, it is a fairly well known fact that around 30% of favourites win their races. If you backed the favourite in every race you would lose money because obviously most of them will be at short odds.

So what you need to do is look at the past results and see if there are any percentages that you can use to help you improve your chances of making a profit. Now if you look at the records over the last 20 years you will find that for instance in Novice Chase races the percentage of winning favourites averages around 43% which is getting far more favourable for us.

If we delve down even further we find that two courses, Fakenham and Fontwell both have above 50% record of favourites winning Novice Chases. Although some of these winners will be odds on you should be able to make some kind of profit by backing the favourites in novice chases at these courses. There are several other courses that have just under a 50% success rate which can also be worth looking at.

Another percentage that might help you find winners in 2 year old races is the fact that in March only 29% of favourites win their races but in June and July the figure rises to 41%. So it is plain that mid summer is the time to start looking at 2 year old favourites.

All this is good and well but how do you get hold of these statistics? The good news is that they are all available for free on the Internet. Just visit the web site www.adrianmassey.com and you will find them all available to you. Adrian Is not really a horse racing fan but is an expert computer programmer who has run his site since 1999 and it is packed with useful information for the punter and is well worth visiting.

I did say there were 3 methods of making your selections and the third can be as successful as any in the big races such as the Grand National and that is to simply use a pin.
