By: Bill Peterson | 2010-10-26 | Horses People sometimes confuse handicapping books with handicapping systems. While it is true that the best books on the subject of picking wining horses may teach you the factors and a systematic method, they are not necessarily a system. Some books on horse racing may be hundreds of pages long and yet they only really teach you one angle. read more

By: Bill Peterson | 2010-09-23 | Horses I have said it so many times, I feel like a broken record, but it really is true. One size does not fit all and no single horse racing system can work for every person who uses it. The first point I'd like to make about horse racing systems is a very important one and once you read it, you may decide whether you want to read any farther. To the best of my knowledge, after fifty years of horse racing, I have never found a method of picking winners that automatically makes a profit. read more
By: Bill Peterson | 2010-09-20 | Horses You may enjoy poring over a racing form and crunching numbers and wracking your brain to figure out which horse is going to win a race, but if you don't, here is an easy way to find good horse racing bets. First of all, let's define what I mean by a good bet. Why do you bet on horse races? There are three possible answers to that question that instantly come to mind. read more

By: Bill Peterson | 2010-04-03 | Horses Everybody uses past performances to handicap horse races so everyone knows what happened in the past. To beat the crowd and be a better handicapper, think ahead and anticipate changes a trainer might make to improve a horse's performance. read more
By: Bill Peterson | 2011-06-23 | Horses While it may be obvious that the horse who can run the fastest will ultimately win the race, it isn't nearly as obvious whether a horse will run as fast today as it ran last week. That, in a nutshell, is the whole mystery of trying to pick winners by handicapping a horse race. If horses always clocked the same speed figure in each race, then simply glancing at the speed figures for their last race would tell which horse was fastest. read more
By: Bill Peterson | 2011-06-23 | Horses Horse racing, like any outdoor sport, is subject to the vagaries of the weather. Therefore, sooner or later, you are going to be faced with the choice between playing the races on an off track or not playing the races because the surface is rated as muddy, sloppy, or good. Many handicapping gurus suggest passing on anything but a fast track. That's not bad advice, but what if all the tracks you usually handicap are wet? read more
By: Bill Peterson | 2011-04-26 | Horses Many people don't like to bet on maiden horse races because they think that the maiden horses are too unpredictable and there is little proof of form in their past performances. While that is true of horses who have never had a race, a maiden race with no first time starters does offer a chance to find some good value. Surprisingly enough, many maiden races are won by favorites which seems to indicate though the information may be limited, with many horses, many times what you see is... read more
By: Bill Peterson | 2010-11-02 | Horses While I always advocate in depth handicapping if you're playing the races, some people don't have a lot of time to handicap the horse races so I have a few tips for them. First of all, when you're looking at a racing form or program, it's all about the numbers. Speed figures are one set of numbers that tell a lot. Another set of numbers that have a big effect are the purse amounts horses have been running for. Just by looking for those two numbers, you are handicapping for speed and class... read more
By: Bill Peterson | 2010-09-23 | Horses The best way to handicap a horse race and then make a profit from it is by determining each horse's chances in the race and then assigning a point value that you can convert to dollars and sense. For instance, if you find that one runner has 20 points in its favor and another has 10, then if your system is good, that horse with 20 points should be twice as likely as the other one to win, right? Now the next trick is to look at the odds and see where the value is. read more
