FIVE TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR FINANCIAL SURVIVAL
The first race is nearly upon us and the exitement is
building try following these five tips for every big race meeting which
will hopefully ensure your financial survival
Tip one - Hedge
your bets have two or three selections in each race - the fields
are usually bigger with 95-100% of the horses in peak physical form and
upsets do happen with big price winners and indeed placed horses so take
a look at the card and go for at least two but no more than three selections
in each race. This way you are not putting all of your eggs in one basket
for how many times has the "meeting banker" come unstuck. By
selecting two or three horses quite often it can result in you having
more than one winner in the race if you are lucky especially by following
tip two!
Tip two - Be
even more cautious bet each way - due to bigger prices at the big
meetings there is often great value in each way backing as favourites
are priced at 7 or 8 to 1 or bigger in most races, and by backing each
way if your selections are placed and don't win you are more than likely
to finish in front for that race.
Tip three - Pick
your horses and don't alter no matter what - How many times have
you heard "this can't lose" when you have been talking to a
fellow racegoer. This gets even more popular at the big meetings where
everyone suddenly becomes the number one tipster and they all have contacts
at the top yards - where in reality someone in the pub last Saturday said
that they had heard from their mum who does the cleaning to the guy who
is the blacksmith's assistant at a trainers yard that the horse will run
well. Pick your horses before you go or before the days racing starts
and stick to your guns no matter what as there is nothing worse than following
a tip only for the one you were going to back romp home at 16/1. You can
rest assured the person who gave you that tip will be nowhere to be seen
after the race.
Tip four - If
you get a winner don't increase your bets - should you be lucky
enough to have a winner or two then don't fall into the trap of increasing
your wager on the remaining bets of the day - it is hard enough to get
one winner so be thankful you have achieved that as many aren't so lucky.
Stick to your original staking plan and put all winnings aside to savour
when racing has finished. It is so tempting to up your stakes and lose
the lot on the last race and go home potless
Tip five - The
golden rule don't bet with what you can't afford to lose - this
is the most valuable tip of all and it should be followed at all times
and NEVER broken. Go to the day with a view to coming back with
an empty pocket and anything left (see tip four) will be great and you
will instantly feel better even if you have lost overall.
Remember if all else fails pick the horse with the best colours or nicest
name !! - Good Luck
