Sports gambling fans are big on horse racing. For those of you who wish to be gambling on horse racing and don’t know how, we suggest 1 of two options. First, there are a number of online casinos that offer their players the chance to partake in a virtual horse race, in which they can simulate the actual experience of gambling at the track. Although if you wish to make the trip do some land based gambling at the race track, we offer the following story.
If you had followed the recommendations made in the Trainer Trends publication last year you would have placed 414 bets with 110 winning wagers. If you had taken the starting price the level stakes profit would have been +319.84 pounds, that's 31,984 pounds to 100 pounds stakes. Let's suppose that you placed each bet just before the start of each race on the online gambling site called Bet Fair. The figures would now read +£488.64,that's 48,864 to 100 stakes. That's an extra16,880 (53%) more than the gains from taking the Starting Price. And that is with a 5% commission factored in.
Mark Polglase, a well known name in the horse racing gambling industry shares his perspective, “Training horses is a complicated, frustrating business. As a trainer you are constantly trying to find formulas that keep the process as simple and effective as possible. Now we don't have to tax ourselves on the 'whys and wherefore' we just have to look at the data that Jason Solli has comprehensively been compiling and sit back and reap the rewards”.
