Want to bet on horses? Keep these things in mind before you place your first bet

Want to bet on horses? Keep these things in mind before you place your first bet

If you have finally found the intriguing world of horse race betting, you are probably eager to start making your wildest predictions in the hopes of earning big. However, there are some basics that we need to go over if you are to succeed in horse race betting. So if you’re ready to start understanding how this whole thing works, keep reading. Just like you would go to http://pokeracepro.com/ for your daily dose of poker, you’ve come to the right place for betting tips. Here are the most important things to consider before betting:

It’s not a science

You can research a lot of stuff, and you can make your predictions based on a lot of things that add up and make sense. However, you still need a lot of luck to be triumphant. Winning has nothing to do with beginner’s luck and losing has nothing to do with not having it. It’s just a matter of odds, and as you might be aware, odds can mess up your plans. Be ready to face what sometimes might even seem like injustice as the horse you bet on has the worst race of their career and ruins your ticket, or how the sloppiest horse in the race manages to pull a miracle.

You don’t have to pick a straight winner, but you don’t have to stop there either

When you bet on horses, you have the option of betting on other things and not just on straight up victories. As you would imagine, betting on which horse wins can be quite difficult, and sometimes the rewards aren’t worth the stress. You can bet on whether or not one or multiple horses place in the top three, for example. You can also go the extra mile if you’re feeling lucky and bet on the exact outcome of the race, down to which horses get the second and third places.

You need the real-life experience

No matter how authentic or enticing an online race betting experience will be, it will never be able to beat the feeling you get when you go watch a horse race live. Even if you stick to online betting, it’s a good idea to go check out at least a run and get a feel for how things go in this kind of environment. Standing there, on the edge of your seat, ticket in hand, not knowing whether you’ll end up taking it to the window to cash out or just ripping it like everyone else around you, that’s the kind of excitement that will get you going in horse race betting.

The Ultimate Guide to Winning 2017 Melbourne Cup Bets

The most popular horseback racing tournament is going to be unleashed a few months from now. And with this, thousands of enthusiasts would surely be betting their money on the best picks for the upcoming 2017 Melbourne Cup. Luckily, you’ve found this article because here, we’re going to help you win some good money when Aussie’s hottest horse racing event kick starts this Nov. 7.

2016 Melbourne Cup Winners, Can They Win Again?

Almandin

Almandin, the champion, and first-place of last year’s Melbourne Cup will once again showcase its prowess in this year’s event. In knowing that it took 1^st place last year, and in seeing how his trainer, Robert Hickmott perseveres in making the most out of the horse, everything looks pretty good for the stallion. And take note that the 7-year-old’s last three races were all 1^st place finishes.

Heartbreak City

The winner and second-placer of the 2016 Melbourne Cup is the now 7-years-old Heartbreak City. Having sired by Lando and Moscow Nights, and trained by the fine Tony Martin, this horse surely got a lot in store regarding its experience and skills. All of these lead to the horse getting $1,406,210 prize money. For sure, it can pretty much repeat history in this year's Cup.

Hartnell

Hartnell is currently in 6^th place in betting odds, but this British horse finished 3^rd place in last year's Cup. Having a 31% winning rate for first place, it's safe to give this Brit another shot at winning.

Qewy

The 8-year-old Irish Qewy had a fair shot in last year’s Cup as it finishes in 4^th place. Qewy is currently in the 23^rd spot in betting odds, but things are faring a bit well for this one in the upcoming Melbourne Cup. Charlie Appleby is getting a few notches higher when it comes to training his racer, and it might just well be the determining factor for this year’s race.

Characteristics of a Winning Horse Bet

If you have just made up your mind and decided to bet for the much-anticipated Cup to be held in the country-down-under, then the first thing you need to consider is the horse’s age. Youth is the number one criteria in choosing a horse.

Take note that those aged 4, 5, and 6, are the usual winners of the Melbourne Cup. In fact, this happens in almost all major races. Why? It’s because this is the time when the horses are at their peak. It’s equivalent to athletes who are on their early and mid-twenties.

So if you’re going to pick a bet, choose those that are around those numbers. The last time a horse beyond that age brackets that won a major racing event was way back in 1938. It was the then 8-year-old Catalogue.

You also need to choose a male. A stallion has a better physical structure than that of a mare, thereby giving you better chances of finishing strong. Then there’s the weight criteria which has a very big effect on your winning chances.

Opt for male horses that are below 57 kilograms. The last time a horse beyond that weight category and won was in 1975. It was Think Big, weighing 58 kilograms.

Top 3 Horse Bets for 2017 Melbourne Cup, Betting Odds Unveiled

No #1 Admire Deus

Admire Deus is the favorite horse to win this year’s Melbourne Cup, having a 13.0 betting odds. Being 6-years-old and being recently bought by premiere Australian trainer from its original Japanese team, it’s pretty likely that this one’s going to finish strong. After all, the stallion is in its prime and is looking great than ever.

No #2 Red Cardinal

The Irish take second spot for its betting odds with 15.0, second to the Japanese Admire Deus. This 6-year-old horse has a strong 55% rate to finish first and 33% to finish second. With this alone, it's pretty clear that he's in for some good times.

No #3 Francis of Assisi

Then there’s another Irish horse contending for the top ranks. Francis of Assisi might be already 8-years-old, but his trainer, Charlie Appleby, is doing his best to defy age itself. A strong 44% 1^st place finish looms, giving this somewhat aged horse an edge to finish strong. The Melbourne Cup racing free bets give this racer 17.0 betting odds, so you might also want to choose this one.

Go Horse Racing in Antigua...

Think of  a racecourse... 

Any racecourse! 

I know what you are thinking - there are literally thousands across the globe. Where would you go racing?

I guess most people - if given a choice - would plump for the high fashion of Royal Ascot with its pomp and ceremony, top hats and tails [mourning suits] and ladies dressed up to the nines. What more could any lady ask than high heels, champagne, and winner or two? 

If you are searching for something spectacular then look no further than St Moritz in Switzerland. Forget the green grass of home, this is called White Turf. Racing takes place in an alpine setting where horses, many sent from the United Kingdom, race on the frozen lake St. Moritz which is covered with snow. Make no mistake it's cold but a unique, exclusive and top-class race meeting. It's a tradition which dates back to 1906. If you fancy a winter flutter then I suggest St Moritz every February. 

Perhaps you want somewhere a bit closer to home. You love the beach. OK!!!! So you want to go to a horse racing meeting on the beach? Surprisingly, I've got just the place. Did you know that Laytown racecourse is unique as it is the only Irish and English race event to be run on a beach under the rules of the Turf Club? This famous meeting takes place in County Meath, Ireland. It was first raced in 1868.

Thinking about racecourses, I can't help but wonder if there is an exotic location with a racecourse - but somewhere you wouldn't really imagine racing taking place. I've found just the location.

We've ventured to Royal Ascot, St Moritz & Laytown. But let's go further afield, far away from Europe. A holiday destination. It lies between the Caribean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Any guesses? Leeward Island. Getting warmer.  Think Christopher Columbus. It's Antigua and Barbuda. Take a look here to enjoy the best that Antigua has to offer holidaymakers.

Wow!!!! 

Antigua horse racing. It's a beautiful holiday destination famous for its luxury resorts. If you love horse racing then you are unlikely to see anything like Cassada Gardens Horse Racetrack. It is situated next to Mount Pleasant and located in Saint George, Antigua and Barbuda. Take a look at this video from the Antigua Turf Club. It's far from the splendour of the luxury resorts but it's racing.

Welcome To Horse Trainer Directory

Mark Johnston is one of Britain’s leading trainers, having become the first Flat trainer to send out more than 200 winners in a season (2009) and has repeated the feat in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. He has trained more than 100 winners for 22 consecutive seasons, achieving success in Classics and numerous Group One races. Born in Scotland in 1959, he became interested in racing through his father’s ownership of horses. At 14 he knew he was destined to become a trainer, but decided to study first as a vet and after qualifying worked in veterinary practice for three years. He married his childhood sweetheart, Deirdre (now assistant trainer) in 1985 and the following year bought his first training yard, in Lincolnshire. Granted a trainer’s licence in 1987, he sent out his first winner, Hinari Video, that summer. He moved to Middleham in 1988, buying the Kingsley House yard to begin an astonishing success story that has now extended to two further yards, creating a major complex covering 270 acres. His first century of winners came in 1994. He has won the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas, the Ascot Gold Cup three times and the Goodwood Cup five times. His finest horses include Mister Baileys, Shamardal, Attraction, and Double Trigger. He and Deirdre have two sons, Charlie and Angus.
