My Golden Rules Of Betting For National Hunt Horse Racing Sports Articles | July 17 Authentic Zay Jones Jersey , 2007
Professional gambler Max Redd explains some of the rules he has stuck to over the years, in order to avoid losing money when betting on horses over the jumps.
How do you avoid doing your money when betting on National Hunt horse racing? By definition jumps racing brings with it additional risk every time your horse leaves the ground. Making a profit from punting over the sticks is treacherous enough without falling for the bookmakers? seductive bets which often leave the unwary punters pot-less.
So to help you swerve those rushes of blood to the head I have devised a set of National Hunt punting rules. Sticking to these rules may mean you miss a few winners throughout the season, and although you may not win a fortune by following them, they will probably stop you from losing one. We?ll leave that to the less-savvy punters shall we?
If you have a passion for horse racing, then for pure exhilaration there can be nothing quite as spectacular as seeing thirty or forty horses thunder off across the Melling Road at the start of the Grand National. Or perhaps you marvel at the athletic prowess of the winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup as they stretch clear of the field up the hill towards the finish line at Prestbury Park?
Traditionally the National Hunt jumps racing season would start around early November and carry on throughout the winter months. The climax of the season is still the Cheltenham Festival in March Authentic Tre'Davious White Jersey , with the Grand National in April at Aintree.
Today you will find national hunt meetings pretty much all year round, and although the summer meetings are thinner on the ground and lower key, there still exists the opportunity to profit from horses racing over obstacles.
Here are my Golden Rules for betting on National Hunt horse racing:
Rule #1When the rains come in the deep mid-winter, and the going turns proper heavy, look out for horses who have already demonstrated form in these kind of conditions. In reality Authentic Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , not many horses actually enjoy galloping through mud. If you can uncover a horse which relishes testing ground ? even if the price suggests they are something of an outsider, and with recent form figures reading like a row of duck eggs ? you may well be sitting on a good value bet.
Rule #2This rule is about horses who are taking a step up to race in a better class of race and at one of the more imposing tracks. Where you have a number of steeplechasers, who are already performing well in quality races at the top tracks, it is easy to over-estimate the chances of a ?live? outsider who jumps well and won last time out, albeit in a lower grade race at a provincial track. In these situations Authentic Josh Allen Jersey , it is often better to lump on the fancied horses along with everyone else. Admittedly this will often result in poor value prices at the top of the market, and the profitable move may well be to keep your money safe, and sit these races out.
Rule #3As an addendum to the last Rule, this one is so simple, but none-the-less true. When you are trying to pick winners at Cheltenham Authentic Jim Kelly Jersey , and especially at the festival in March, it pays dividends to give extra merit to those runners who have already shown winning form around this unique race-course. If a horse has managed to win here, they should be credited with a real chance to triumph again.
Rule #4A long-standing myth that two-and-a-half-mile chasers possess the best characteristics to win the Grand National is utter rubbish. Why? Well, for starters the Grand National is staged over more than FOUR miles. Find a horse who can stay forever, and who jumps for fun Cheap Dawson Knox Jersey , and you will have a horse capable of winning the greatest steeple-chase in the world.
Rule #5Let?s imagine you have narrowed down your selections in a jumps race to just two horses. One is piloted by a top-20 jumps jockey, and the other is ridden by a less-able jockey who gets to claim a weight allowance over his rivals. In this situation my advice would be to choose the professional every time. In Flat races, a weight advantage of a few pounds can make all the difference, and trainers will often make clever use of talented apprentice riders to gain a competitive edge. Over the sticks however, it will often pay to side with the proven skills of the experienced horseman Cheap Devin Singletary Jersey , even if it means sacrificing a little weight to your rivals. After all, they are a winning jockey for a reason.
Rule #6A horse who turns in a fine performance at a flat, easy or ?fast? track may not necessarily produce the same performance at a more testing race-course. To me this seems one of the most obvious statements when studying National Hunt form, but it is one that punters ignore time and again, getting their fingers burnt in the process. If a horse has jotted up an impressive sequence of wins at easy tracks such as Musselburgh Cheap Cody Ford Jersey , Fakenham, Hereford, Taunton, Southwell, and Aintree?s Mildmay course Cheap Ed Oliver Jersey , they should not necessarily be considered a ?steering job? when they contest a race at a course with a more testing profile. Of particular note should be courses with an uphill finish such as Cheltenham, Sandown Park, Hexham, Carlisle, and the daddy of finishes at Towcester.
