May 2008

Welcome to the first issue of the Horse-Racing.UK.com newsletter that is dedicated to contributing to your investment knowledge and helping you to stay within the 10% of sporting investors who consistently make an income from this potentially rewarding business.  

The information is primarily based on horse racing but there will be features and tips on other types of sporting investment on a regular basis.

We are kicking off with the following features:

1)    Courses for Horses.
2)    The Psychology of Betting.
3)    Systematic Betting Income

1)    Courses for Horses

Every horse racing course has its own individual characteristics.  The type of course can have a great affect on different horses and greatly influence the result of a race.  One way of removing this degree of uncertainty in your investments is to only bet on horses that have won at the particular course they are racing at.  However, it is very likely that you will identify exciting potential investments for horses that have not won at the course it is running at on a particular day.  In this case it is useful to be able to check if the horse has had success previously at a track with similar characteristics to the one it is running at for your analysis.  If it has, this could be the final piece of the jigsaw in your investment decision.  

Every month we will feature a different course and its individual characteristics.  This will build up to a handy reference source for your future investment decisions.
 

This months featured course is ASCOT.  
Flat - Right-handed 1m 6f galloping, triangular group 1 course  with a stiff 2.5f uphill run-in.  On the straight track, runners drawn close to either rail are favoured.  The draw has little influence on the round course.
Success rate of all favourites is 25%.  Favourite success rate for two year old stakes is around 32%.  J.Dunlop and S. bin Suroor have good records here.
National Hunt - Testing with very stiff fences.  The uphill finish of 160yds adds to difficulties.
Success rate of all favourites 32%.  Best races for favourites are weight for age chases 66% and Hunter Chases 45%.  Worst races for favourites are Handicap Hurdles.

2)    Psychology of Betting

There are different approaches to placing sporting investments but they basically fall into five categories:
a)    Betting on Fancies (random / gut feelings / stick in a pin etc)
b)    Betting on Newspaper recommended tips.
c)    Betting on information that has been paid for from tipsters.
d)    Studying the form yourself and making selections on your accrued knowledge.
e)    Using a systematic betting approach that makes selections using systems that have been purchased or developed yourself.

Category (a) is a method that we are all prone to.  We have all been skimming through the days races and seen the 'good thing' or 'good value' investment staring out at us and can't understand why nobody else is recommending it.  We decide to prove them wrong by putting our investment down without looking into the full picture.  Only after we have lost our money do we realise that another horse in the race was dropped in class and our selection was carrying a stone more than last time.  I am still personally guilty of being tempted by this approach occasionally and is one of the reasons why I prefer the systematic betting approach but more of that in a later issue.  Category (a) is for very small bets indeed and not for people seriously looking to make money.

If people want to have play bets and are prepared to lose their money very quickly then it is their prerogative.  Next month we talk about categories (b) and (c).

3)    Systematic Betting

I am a big fan of the systematic betting approach.  This is where you place investments using systems that you have seen giving a proven return in the past.  I prefer this approach as I am otherwise generally very undisciplined and have a tendency to start placing random 'good thing' investments on situations that end up losing me money.  Having systems that specialise on different types of race can quickly focus you into good quality prospects.  

There are two FREE systems available in the HRUK members area.

Daily Short List

We review every race of the day at www.horse-racing.uk.com and produce a short list of prospects.  

Next months featured course is Aintree and we talk about information available from various tipping sources including the newspapers.  There will also be a future bet feature if there are any up and coming situations worthy of our investment.

Good Luck

Steve
