There have only been…

How You Can Find Favourites To Lay Quickly, Using Disparity
A few weeks ago I was invited by Betfan to host a webinar called Ask A Pro, and share how to find favourites to lay. The concept was that we would get three professional bettors and tipsters on the panel and I would quiz them with the questions asked by the audience. I thought that this was a superb idea.…

Seabass Fans Better Backing A Female Jockey
The 2013 Grand National draws ever closer and the field of confirmed runners gradually grows with each passing week. Among the 40-horse field is Seabass, who finished third in last year’s big race at Aintree. Already seen as one of the main contenders, it’s understandable that many punters are willing to back the 10-year-old, but could they find better value…

Start With Contenders
It’s common practice for punters to start their racing analysis about half way through the process. This is because it has become generally accepted that to make a profit at horse racing you need to find… …the winner! Don’t worry, I’m not going to argue that you don’t need to find the winner of the race (although that does depend…

Punter, Interrupted: Betting During and After Bad Weather
Generally speaking, National Hunt horses are a little hardier than their Flat counterparts and consequently hold their form for longer. However, prolonged periods of bad weather can throw even the National Hunt formbook into disarray. Freezing temperatures, ice and snow in January and February often lead to numerous fixtures being abandoned, so that trainers’ plans for their horses are thwarted…

It Doesn’t Have To Be Complicated
It’s very easy to over-complicate things in horse racing. In fact I could be accused of doing this myself. I often teach advanced methods and these can be complex, but you don’t need to have complex methods to make a profit. It’s harder to find profits using simpler methods but then the method is easier to use. It’s easier to…

Studying Form by Numbers
It’s been said many times that the subject of studying form is an intricate one, but during the course of this article I hope to develop a step-by-step method of whittling down any field to a handful of likely winners as quickly and easily as possible.

What Is A Horse Racing Rating?
Ratings are a very mis-understood medium in betting. They are however exceptionally powerful if used correctly. Today I want to make sure that you don’t fall into the biggest trap that most punters do when using ratings. You cannot get away from ratings in horse racing. They are part and parcel of what horse racing is. If you look at…
