Horse Racing Backing Systems : Finding A Reliable Betting System

There are many betting systems in the horse racing marketplace and whilst that can be a good thing with the different choices, it can also be overwhelming going through all of the available information and trying to make an informed choice.

There are no hard or fast rules in finding a system which bests matches your needs, but you can break it down easier by the type of bettor you are. You may like betting on the win markets, perhaps e-way betting is more appealing or you like betting against a particular horse as a layer, you may even like to trade on Betfair or Betdaq or even be involved in the ever growing in play markets. What ever style suits you best, you should be looking for a proven system that can satisfy your betting needs. 


Most of the modern day bettors have been involved at some stage with the world's largest betting exchange Betfair. A lot of the older horse racing betting fraternity still like the more traditional high street bookmakers like Bet365, Coral, Ladbrokes, PaddyPower and Willian Hill and the use of fractional odds. Regardless of whether you're trading porkbellies or betting on four legged animals the bottom line is always profit and without it, well, what is the point?

If you're planning to get involved with any type of betting then, it's crucial to have some form of plan. Are you going to develop your own system through some form of trial and error or buy a system that ticks most of the necessary boxes? Without a proper plan of action in this business and your doomed to fail -fact! You might not experience this at the start of your betting journey, but those shark invested waters of the horse racing markets have sharp teeth and can be unforgiving at times, so don't get caught out and end up with a reaction like the guy in the picture below.


If you decide to invest in a system then make sure it has either been reviewed by some reputable and related betting blog and/or offers you some form of money back guarantee, giving you that much needed piece of mind. The last thing you want to do is start betting on a system you've bought and lose some money and then, not be able to get a refund for it's failure to impress or turn a profit. You'll be out of money on both counts and that's not a predicament that anyone needs!

There are good systems out there in the marketplace for most forms of betting, so do a little bit of digging prior to parting with your cash. If you do the prep work just now then, it will save on future headaches further down the line. Best of luck in what you choose and I hope you can make a steady and long term profit from your betting.

Horse Racing Backing Systems : Having a Plan

I don't have all the answers to making money through betting on horses, if I did then, I'd be sitting by my pool in a luxury villa somewhere in Spain instead of a modest terraced house in the north east of England :(

To make a medium to long term profit with any form of betting you NEED to have a plan. Yes, you've probably heard of someone who's one a small fortune betting on a horse and yes, you've seen their betting slip or the online statement as proof, but was it a one off bet and just down to luck? The real proof is whether that you can make a profit over 500, 1000 or 10,000 betting selections and this really does seperate the men from the boys. I've always been in this game for the long run and I don't always make a profit, but overall my bookie and Betfair account is still going north and that's what really counts :)




There is no midas touch to betting just good old fashioned form study coupled with some solid money mangangement and discipline. Why people continually lose money is a real mystery to me, when there's so much free online information at your fingertips. I guess some people want an easy route or are just lazy and want to try a quick fix with an RP tipster, but following the crowd will eventually lead to the poor house and that's why about 80% of online bettors reduce their betting activity or lose their bank after the first year. Ask yourself this, why do these so called experts on these horse racing sites give you their free recommendation? If they where so good then, why wouldn't they be doing it themselves and making a small fortune instead of getting a guaranteed salary from the relevant company.

You can gain the upper hand sometimes, if you're privy to insider information and are a friend of the trainer or jockey or even if you're present at the race course and can make a more informed decision about the look of the horse in the paddock, but normally what most of us have got to base our decision on is the form in front of us and that is usually good enough.

There are no hard or fast rules to making money from horse racing, but having a good plan and executing it correctly on a regular basis is crucial. If you take shortcuts in this game then, the betting markets can be unforgiving and you may lose your shirt!

All the best with your betting and please make a sensible choice about your plans going forward.
