How to Win when Betting on Horse Races

Horse racing is one of the most popular sports in Australia and no less because people love to bet on the outcome of each race. Many punters only have a little flutter on Horse Races from time to time, but others are more serious when betting on horse races and would like to know how to win more often.

Statistics show that only 3% of punters win when they bet on horse races; however certain criteria separate the winners from the losers. In particular, studying the form of each horse and learning all about them will give you a winning edge. However there are other things that winners do and losers do not do when it comes to betting on horse races. Here are a few of them.

* Winners take more time to find value runners rather than backing what they hope will be a winner each time.

* Winners bet to win on horse races, not just for the sake of betting. Losers are addicted to betting on every race, every day.

* Winners tend to question what people say about horses and their races while losers are more inclined to believe something just because they hear it repeated often.

* Punters who win more often have taken more notice of the odds, staking, variance and percentages. They expect their short term results to be variable, but expect that their long term results will gain them a profit.

* Punters who win most often when betting on horse races realise that luck has little to do with it and that a long run of losing does not mean that they are likely to win the next one.
