Why 2% of people win at the races...
It is definitely not luck, you make your own luck...
There are 2 main ingredients to making a profit from horse racing. The horses you bet on are obviously essential and is the main part of our service. However, equally as important is good money management, and good bet sizing.
This is absolutely critical to making money from Horse Racing.
To be able to win consistently you need to spread your bets. The important part here is what are you trying to achieve? Where will you stop?
If you are betting £100 each way it is reasonable to assume that winning £1000 is not a point where you are going to cash in, not place another bet disappear on holiday with £2000 to spend. You are either going to keep betting at £100 a bet, or worse still increase your bets to £200.
Either way, it is really a matter of time before you have lost. So what do you do?
It is essential to know how much money you have available to bet and to choose bet sizes that are appropriate. You would think that by placing larger bets you stand to win more, but the opposite is true. If you are interested in making a consistent long-term profit, you have to religously stick to a simple points system. Let me explain why...
Bookmakers know that approximately 98% of people either bet too much, or cannot stick to a simple points system. Bookies know that whether you lose or win, you want to place bigger bets more often. As soon as you do you have failed, and you are simply one of the 98% of people who are just donating money to the bookie - if not today then tomorrow. You are simply not leaving yourself enough room to breathe.
Imagine you have made an investment on the stock market and you purchased some shares for 100p (£1). If the shares drop to 98p (i.e. you lose 2 points), you are not particulary worried because you know the share price can easily recover, and this is similar to a points system.
However say your shares drop to 60p, you have now lost 40% and you are starting to worry and feel like you cannot recover. It is exactly the same when you have £1000 available to invest in horse racing, and through incorrect bet sizing you lose £400 - you have just lost 40% of your money available to invest \ bet, and when that happens with any kind of investment you will start to worry and are more likely to not stick to the system - exactly what is best for the bookie and worst for you.
So what is the points system?
The points system is a simple system that allows you to easily calculate what you should be betting depending on the strength of the information we are providing.
