chances of winning a race. A top jockey can make a gigantic difference to the show of a horse. Course and distance are two important factors. If you know how the horse performs at a certain distance and to which type of track its best suited you will begin to get a good idea of how the horse should perform. Take into account the weight carried; the jockey, course conditions, and you will soon start to build up an image of how one horse should perform against the rest. WARNING! - Dont let emotion rule your head too often. You will often hear gamblers proudly shouting about a big coup, but what they don't tell you is how much they have lost. A flutter every now and then on the horses is good fun but if you don't want to get in to serious debt and you actually want to make some good money, study the form very carefully and follow, or develop a system. There are plenty of people offering systems to 'beat the bookies'. Most of these follow common sense rules and as long as you are disciplined and stick to the basics there is no reason why you shouldn't come out ahead of the game.
Don't be a Mug Punter, be sensible and never bet more than you can comfortably afford.
2 - THE NOMAD
This ingenious system takes full advantage of one very valuable piece of information, to be found only in the Racing Post. At the bottom of each race meeting there is a section called TRAVELLERS CHECK. This shows which trainers have travelled the farthest distance from their home base to the meeting in question. The number of miles travelled is clearly indicated, and we are going to concentrate on those trainers who have travelled 250 miles or more with just one horse. Here then is the simple procedure. STEP ONE: Make a shortlist of those races where a trainer has travelled at least 250 miles with just one horse - these can be seen at a glance. Eliminate from the shortlist any race where two or more trainers featured in Travellers Check with only one horse are entered in the same races. Occasionally, two trainers will travel a similar distance with the idea of winning the same race. Although we could, I suppose, split our stakes and back both, I prefer not to. We usually have several short listed races, so we can afford to be more selective. STEP TWO: Our next task is to list our short listed races in order of priority, according to the amount of prize money on offer to the winner of individual races. Please note that the distance travelled has no further bearing on our final selection. That's to say, a trainer who has travelled 300 miles with one horse receives no priority over a trainer travelling "only" 250 miles. Therefore our days "Best Bet" can be defined as follows: The race where one trainer has travelled at least 250 miles with just one horse for the least prize money. Trainers travelling 200-249 miles: Some days there will be no trainers who have travelled as far as 250 miles, in which case we will need to lower our sights., but the following ruling is to be used only in the event of there being nothing suitable at 250 miles or more. First we make a shortlist exactly as stated earlier, but in this case the trainer must have travelled at least 200 miles with just one horse and the most precise way to work out the days "Best Bet" is with the aid of a cheap pocket calculator. Let's suppose we have a shortlist of two trainers, each having travelled over 200 miles with just one horse. Trainer A is entered in a race worth 2,782 to the winner and has travelled a total of 223 miles. Trainer B has travelled 214 miles for a prize of 2,506. Taking our calculator we divide the prize money of each trainer by the miles travelled to find out how much each trainer stands to gain PER MILE TRAVELLED. Like so: TRAINER A 2,782 divided by 223 = 12.47 per mile TRAINER B 2,506 divided by 214 = 11.71 per mile.
3 - YANKEE GOLD
The Yankee Gold is a very simple plan but it can win a lot of money from horse racing. A notebook and your normal daily paper are required. Make a note of the trainer that wins each race (when using the system for the first time it is best to start on Monday). When you find a trainer that has two winners in one day or two winners in two days (days must be consecutive i.e. Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday etc) that is the system trainer and you back his next three runners only. Providing they comply with the following conditions. 1. Must have won a race in the current season. 2. If in a handicap there must not be more than 12 runners. 3. If in a non-handicap there must not be more than 15 runners. 4. Do not bet in Selling races. 5. Do not bet in any race with less than 4 runners and don't bet if the system selection is quoted at odds-on in your paper. In handicaps don't bet on horses carrying a penalty larger than 3 lbs.
NOTE: System Banker Bets are horses that comply with the above rules and that were either 1st or 2nd last time out and are quoted favourite in your paper's betting forecast. STAKE: Level stakes, or back the three horses using 1,2,3 points stop-at-a-winner. Back each horse to win you a fixed sum plus previous losing stake.
5 - THE SCHWEPPES
Any newspaper may be used that gives the details of the last three outings of horses and includes a rating method of some type. RULE ONE: WIN - 10 points 2ND - 5 points 3RD - 1 points {It is unclear from this system whether the vendor means this number of points for each of the last three races or the best race of the three! Any ideas?} Add one further point for: SF - Strongly fancied C - Course runner D - Distance runner {In these last two I have assumed they mean winner and not "runner"!} If in race runner is denoted as "top rated" for race, add a further 10 points. In each race, the horse with the greatest number of points is the one to use. TO REDUCE: To reduce to one per meeting, select only from non-handicap races. Use the horse with the most points from the races selected. Check the tipsters and if two experts have also gone for one horse than that is the selection. If still unable to reduce to one, use the horse with the highest rating in the race with lowest number of runners. STAKING METHODS: Use staking sequence 11223345566 to reduce losses and increase winnings. NOTE: To reduce to just one selection per day, use the horse in the race with the lowest number of runners from all non-handicap races.
