We all know that. But there ARE things you can do to become better at it, no matter how long you've been failing at it. Even if you have almost no days when you pick the right dogs, if you put some time and effort into learning to really analyze the most important factors in a race, you'll be surprised at how much better you'll do. Place Bets – The place bet in dog racing is very close to the win bet. In this wager, you pick a single dog and win the bet if your dog comes in first or second place. This bet is a little easier to win so the payout odds aren’t quite as attractive as they would be for a straight up win bet.
This horse racing system simply works by placing the same stakes ( i.e. £10 on each selection ) but it also has some rules, which are pretty straight forward to understand.
The amount of selections you bet on this horse racing system is determined by the odds of the favorite, I have placed a table of odds below for you to show how many selections can be bet upon.
All odds below are in decimals and are the odds of the Favourite in any given race.
Odds of Favourite In decimals Bet On First
Between 3.00 & 4.00 2 Horses
Between 4.00 & 5.00 3 Horses
Between 5.00 & 6.00 4 Horses
Between 6.00 & 7.00 5 Horses
Between 7.00 & 8.00 6 Horses
Let’s just imagine that the first race you wanted to have a bet in is the 2.10 @ Ascot. Simply navigate to that particular race at your chosen, betting exchange, bookmaker website or go down to your local bookies and take a look at the odds/prices that you are being offered.
Now for this horse racing system to work, let’s say for arguments sake that the favourite was being offered @ 5.3. Take a look at the above table and look for 5.3, there you will see that you are allowed to bet on the first 4 horses in the betting market i.e. 1st Favourite, 2nd favourite, 3rd favourite and 4th favourite, making a little more sense now??
The same goes for any price that the favourite has within the odds displayed in the table above.
This horse racing system, called “Level Stake” betting, has been around for “Donkey’s” years but not too many people actually do it, simply because the majority of punters are looking for a BIG win with every bet they place and to be honest they lose almost ALL the time.
Selections process for this horse racing system is very easy to do: if in your chosen race the favorite has odds of 3 at Betfair then you are allowed to place your stakes on the favorite and the second favorite in the betting.
If in this horse racing system you placed say £10 on each one, your total outgoings are £20. If the favorite were to win you would receive back £20 in winnings and your £10 stake money as well, so a total of £30.
If the second favorite were to win at odds of 5, then you would receive back £40 plus your £10 stake money back for a total of £50 return.
If you were to select a big race where the favorite was priced up at 7 on Betfair then you are allowed to place your stakes on the first 6 in the betting.
It is a very simple horse racing system, but highly effective and if done properly can make a very nice second income.
I have personally had winning bets of up to 25/1 although these are very few and far between it’s very nice when it happens.
Level Stakes betting can be used with nearly all races, with just a few exceptions which are listed below.
1. Do not bet in “Maiden” races. I find these to be very unpredictable and results can vary.
2. NEVER bet in handicap races with over 16 runners, again very unpredictable and there are always much better races to bet in.
3. Never bet in “Apprentice” races, although there are some pretty good apprentice jockeys around you WANT a pro jockey that knows exactly what it takes to win a race.
Another variation of the above horse racing system is to MISS OUT the favourite and use the second favourite as your stating point. This enables you to add more selections and get bigger priced winners.
If you copy how I make my selections below then you will be quids in week after week.
If you decide to place your level stake bets with the favourite included, then this horse racing system is straight forward enough as ANY race that meets the above criteria is fair game but if you wanted to narrow your search down and just find between 2 & 4 races per day to play in, then just copy the following to achieve a VERY high strike rate.
You will need any “run of the mill” newspaper ( I prefer “The Sun” ) that has racing pages in its sporting section.
Plus you will need to register yourself at the http://www.racingpost.co.uk website if you haven’t done already then go do it now, it doesn’t cost anything.
On racing day, to apply this horse racing system simply log onto the racing post website and go through ALL of that days racing, you must mark off ( in your newspaper ) the selection that the racing post gives as its most likely winner.
When you have done that you then look at what your newspaper’s two tipsters go for in that particular race. If ALL 3 ( 2 X newspaper tipsters plus racing post) select the same horse then that COULD be a definite bet. Then simply do this with the newspaper for ALL the races of the day. Don’t be put off at all, it takes about 10 minutes to do, not a lot of time for a horse racing system that could change your financial future.
Once you have done that you need to go to Betfair and simply check the odds for the horse that ALL 3 tipsters have given. If the odds are acceptable with the odds in the table then you have a definite bet and you stake on however many horses that the odds in the grid tell you to.
The other variation of this horse racing system is where you miss out the favourite all together and the selection process for this is much simple and quicker.
Simply miss out all the “Danger” races as described on the previous page then try to find races that have between 12 & 16 runners, especially handicap races because in handicap races horses are allotted different weights to carry, which in effect gives ALL horses the same chance of winning.
Then all you need to do for this horse racing system to work is to get the odds for the SECOND favourite and place your stake money down on as many selections as the table allows you to.
Now you know how easy it is to make your selections, you will now need to know how to make best use of your betting bank.
We will take a £1000 betting bank as an example but you can start with however much you can afford, this horse racing system works for everybody!
Simply divide your betting bank by 100, so for a £1000 bank this figure is £10. So £10 is the amount you should place on your first ever race.
Let’s now say that in your first race you can bet on the first 4 horses, you divide your first bet of £10 by 4, which equals £2.50, so £2.50 is the stake money that you place on the first 4 selections in your first race.
I can just hear you say “Hey, staking a mere £2.50 on a horse, this horse racing system is not going to make me rich!!”
Well, its not and is not meant to either, yet! You should look at this as a long term venture and protect your betting bank as best you can. Dividing your betting bank by 100 gives you 100 losing bets before you go bust and that just is not going to happen.

In the £2.50 example above if the favourite wins then you will win a level stake profit of £2.50 BUT if the favourite loses and an 8/1 shot wins, you will then pick up a nice £12.50 profit.
Then as the days go by your betting bank increases and then so does your initial stake money and soon instead of placing £2.50 on each horse you will find yourself placing £22.50 on each horse, I can see how you start enjoying this horse racing system now!

Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.How To Bet On Dog Races And Win World Series
My regular readers know that I'm a fan of 4-dog quiniela boxes. For me, it's the bet with the highest rate of return for money spent. When I handicap a program, I'm subconsciously looking for 4 dogs to put in my quiniela box, while I eliminate 4 dogs that I don't think have a chance at coming in first or second.
But, once in awhile, like everybody else, I like to risk a little more on a more exotic bet like a trifecta or superfecta. Sometimes it's during my winter vacation or when I'm out with folks who want to go halves on a superfecta just for the excitement of it. Splitting the cost of the bet can let us all bet more.
When I bet superfectas, I use the same technique I use with quiniela boxes: eliminating dogs until I get to four that I think have a chance to come in. But, after that, it gets a little trickier, because I'm not just concerned with who's going to win and place. I also have to figure out who might come in third and fourth.
Once I pick my 4 dogs, I have to figure out how to bet them. I could bet a 4-dog box for $24. Most superfectas pay well, so that wouldn't be too much if I'm ahead and pretty confident about the dogs I picked. But, if I want to bet several superfecta bets on a program without blowing my bankroll, I opt for a cheaper bet, based on the two dogs I think will be the quiniela.
For $12, I can bet a superfecta key with my quiniela picks first or second and the other two dogs coming in third and fourth. For instance, if I like the 1 and 2 dog for the quiniela and the 3 and 4 for third and fourth in either order, I'd bet a $1 superfecta key: the 1/2 over the 1/2 over the 3/4. So, if the dogs come in 1-2-3-4, 1-2-4-3, 2-1-3-4 or 2-1-4-3, I get half of the superfecta.

This gives me the most bang for my buck as far as combinations go. Of course, it's harder to pick four dogs than it is to pick two. And it's also harder to figure out which of four dogs is going to come in first and second, third and fourth. All it takes is one dog out of place for your superfecta to disappear. It's really discouraging when you have all four dogs, but don't hit the superfecta because they're not in the right order. This is when I wish I'd bet the $24 box instead of being cheap and betting the $12 key.
This is one of those lessons that we all learn sooner or later at the dog track. Sometimes, trying to save money keeps you from making money. On the other hand, betting more than you can comfortably afford to lose is a losing proposition. Much better to miss a few winners than bet over your limit and wish you hadn't.
