How to start betting on horses

March 9, 2022BettingHow to start betting on horses is a question many people ask, and if you have been wanting to bet on horses, you have probably asked this question too. The truth is, it’s not difficult to get started, at least, not if you know what you are doing. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the basics of horse betting so you can feel comfortable placing your first bet. We’ll also provide some tips to help you increase your chances of winning. So, whether you’re a seasoned horse racing fan or a complete novice, read on for everything you need to know about betting on horses. Know What to Look for The very first thing that you should know as an absolute beginner, is what to look for when choosing a horse to bet on. Many people who are new to horse betting immediately think to bet on the fastest horse, but this isn’t always the best decision, and there are multiple factors to consider. When choosing a horse, speed is a factor, but so is the level of fitness and experience of the horse, how many races it has had, when its last break was, what type of track it runs best on, and more. Every Racecourse is different, so you should consider that as well. If you’re looking for a Cheltenham Racecourse guide, British Racecourses is your best option. All of these variables, and more, come together to influence the outcome of the race. Understand the Value of a Bet The next thing that you are going to want to do is to understand the value of a bet. This might not make sense right away, but it will be worth it in the long run. If you are new to horse betting, you should probably bet on the horse that is the favourite whilst you are still learning. However, once you have become comfortable with research and knowing what to look for, you can begin taking risks. For example, you might have a horse that hasn’t won the first two races, but you know from the horse’s track record that it’s the fastest horse on the track, and you also know that it took a break recently. Horses that have come back from breaks typically need a few races to get back into form. In other words, betting on this horse if it wins will earn you more money than the favourite. Know What to Research for As mentioned above, you need to know what to look for in a horse before betting on it. Once you know what to look for, you need to know what to research for. For example, you might find that a horse has a very fast track speed on one track, but does terribly in another. An experienced horse bettor would then try to find out what the going is like on either track. In addition to this, an experienced horse bettor would also research to find out who the jockey is, as well as the trainer. Many jockeys will do well with specific horses on certain tracks, and many horses will do well with specific trainers. Always Have a Budget One of the most important things that you will have to do is establish some sort of budget when betting on horses. Many people new to horse betting get so caught up in the action and fun, that they forget to manage their money and find that they have nothing left to bet with halfway through an event. To avoid this happening to you, you should set a ratio based on your allocated budget. A good ratio is 1-5% of your total budget. This means that if your budget is $100, you should bet between $1-$5 with each bet. Curbing Expectations and Chasing Losses Finally, the last thing that you should do if you want to be remotely successful at horse betting is to curb your expectations and never chase losses. Why should you curb your expectations? Because many people new to horse betting think that they will make a lot of money right from the start. This isn’t the case; your profits will be an accumulation of smaller wins. In addition to this, a quick way to lose all of your winnings is by betting even larger sums of money if you lose. This is called chasing losses and should be avoided at all costs. [...]

Is Richie Porte a Safe Bet for Vuelta a España 2019?

Is Richie Porte a Safe Bet for Vuelta a España 2019?

February 19, 2019BettingRichie Porte is an Australian cyclist who has been in the sport for more than 10 years. But despite being at the top of the competition, and even coming from winning the Tour of Switzerland, had to withdraw from the routes for some time due to an accident where he broke his clavicle. In this post we take a closer look at his career and try to determine whether or not betting on Richie Porte is worthwhile during this year’s Vuelta a España. Return After an Injury We know, when athletes suffer some type of injury, there is a possibility that their performance isn’t the same. This is precisely what we’re seeing with the return of Richie, because he isn’t receiving the same support as before the accident, even though he’s one of the best, currently. The same goes for the bookmakers; they aren’t classifying him as a favorite for his return to the championship, after a long season without being able to compete. Additionally, other good cyclists have advanced a great step in the competition, and have even made it to the Top 3. Some Favorites Michal Kwiatkowski, Wilco Kelderman, and Simon Yates, are some of the favorites of bookmakers in Vuelta a España 2019 competition. They have become big threats for any other competing cyclist. Especially Simon Yates, who has had a brilliant development in the previous competitions, and was leading some of the last championships, is in the spotlight of many gamblers for this return to the routes in Spain. But one of the most anticipated is Thibaut Pinot, although he was out for a while due to strong pneumonia which prevented him from continuing. Before that incident, he was in the Top 3 of the Tour of Italy and had a good performance in previous competitions. Other Featured Competitors Fabio Aru is another cyclist who’s worth talking about, because he has had a few victories in some competitions, but in the last race, he had to retire. So, he’s expected to return with all the strength, to keep fighting and get that prize. Another one who has become promising is the Colombian Miguel Ángel López. He’s only 24 years old and has just started in the world of professional cycling, yet he has had good performances in previous races, even outdoing some veterans. He has overcome some stages leading the race, and you can see the effort and dedication he has put into his commitment to winning. Legends are Legends The legends, without a doubt, can never be considered less, because they are the kind of special people who can win at any time, when you least expect it. This is due to their winning and competitive spirit, the experience in competitions, and the desire to keep standing out. This is the case with Richie Porte, beyond having been away for a while; he will always be considered a favorite, because he is one of the best in cycling. So, it will always be a good wager to bet on, we all have a lot of faith that he will return with a lot of enthusiasm. [...]
