  • How do you pick a winning horse? Over the years there have been thousands of books written on finding and selecting the right filly or colt to put your money on. Needless to say, it’s no easy task finding winners on horse racing. However, we do it, every day on our free horse racing tips page, we source winning punts. How can you win at horse racing? Take a look at our beginner’s guide to winning at horse racing to put yourself on the right path!

    Don’t just bet on the favourite

    Horse racing is a notoriously unpredictable game. The favourite only comes home first about 30% of the time, so if you rocked up to an event and lumped all your money on the favourites over the course of the day, you’re more than likely to end up out of pocket. The house always wins, after all, and the secret isn’t looking for which horse is likely to win, but which offers the most value. So to find value, you need to know your selections and do your research. The more investigation you do, the more you’ll enjoy it because as they say, knowledge is power!

    Understanding horse racing terminology

    As with every sport around the world, Horse Racing has plenty of different terminologies and phrases to understand. Getting familiar with these phrases is essential, so take a look at our Glossary under the Guides section, which explains all the essential terminology to learn!

    Get to know your horses

    • Easy Last Time Out Winners – Horses in form can often put together streaks of 2 to 3 wins in 5 races. Starting by looking for easy last-time-out winners which look like they could go in again is always a solid place to start
    • Good rating figures – If you can find a horse that enjoyed a personal best in its last race, you could be onto a winner
    • Race comments – this insight can be invaluable. If you’re looking online, search for horses that have been said to ‘ran on well’ or ‘quickened’ and you’ll find a filly or colt in fine fettle
    • Change in class – trainers can put weaker horses in ‘higher’ class races in hope of a miracle. So if you’re looking at a runner with a decent recent record, check the quality of its opposition. Likewise, if a horse has dropped down a class it could be worth a look
    • The company – the other horses in the race will affect how it’s run, and what chance your entrant will have. If there are a few ‘front running’ horses that like to get an early start, then the chances of an outsider staying the pace are unlikely
    • Bouncing back – while it’s easy to focus on the horses who ran exceptionally well last time out and placed or won, if you want the really big prices (your 33/1s and so on) the secret comes in trying to spot where a horse may have run badly but be ready to run a big race, either because of a change in conditions or because he’s fitter for some poor runs after a break

    Get to know your surfaces

    Just like a tennis player might prefer a clay court to grass, or a silky-skilled winger might not like it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke, different horses run better on different surfaces.

    Dry courses (known as ‘firm’ or ‘good to firm’) will see the fastest speeds and suit daintier horses, while runners that really hit the ground hard are more likely to enjoy the slightly more accommodating, softer turf – and get more sprinting power from gripping into the ground.

    So when you’re betting on a horse, take a look at the surface it’ll be racing on. Especially with the deeper ground, the previous form on the surface can be essential, so don’t go back your horses blind without checking their preferred surfaces!

    Get to know your trainers

    “You will be amazed if you break down stable winners by months, how often the pattern repeats itself” – Ian Marmion, Head of Victor Chandler, 2006.

    Just as important as the horse you’re betting on is the trainer who’s reared it. As our blog about betting statistics explains, Nicky Henderson frequently wins at Newbury, while Donald McCain enjoys a great strike rate at Bangor.

    Trainers will enjoy different records on different tracks. Some will be more proficient at preparing runners for specific courses and those that have won at a track before will know how to do so again. As a rule of thumb, beginners can tell dominant trainers at a course as they’re likely to field multiple horses in a race.

    All good tipping guides will show a trainer’s record at a course, and over recent months. The more you look into the stats, the more you’ll see. You could find that each year one trainer routinely selects a particular race to unveil their particularly talented two-year-old.

    It works in reverse too…

    Conversely, poor trainer records at certain venues tell you who not to back. Saaed Bin Suroor has a relatively poor record at Ascot, for instance, and may not represent value for money.

    Get to know your jockey

    Jockeys also provide a great deal of betting insight and can help you understand winners. Just as some trainers are synonymous with different courses, many jockeys have favourite locations. Ruby Walsh, for instance, has been the leading jockey at Cheltenham numerous times in recent years, while Ryan Moore is the man to beat at Ascot.

    Why do jockeys work so well at specific places? It works both ways: not only will some skill sets be naturally suited to some courses, but trainers are likely to pair the best riders with the strongest horses.

    Specific jockey and trainer combinations are crucial to learn and understanding. Sometimes, trainers will field more than one runner in the contest, so knowing who is the stable jockey will tell you which horse in the race is the yard’s leading hope.

    Get to know the signs of a confident horse

    Of course, this isn’t really something you can do while sitting at home watching the races on ITV Racing, but if you’re at a live event then it can pay to watch your horses pre-race to see how they’re reacting.

    For instance, a calm, confident runner with a shiny coat will often perform markedly better than an anxious, jittery horse that’s clearly expending a lot of energy.

    ]]>     So, you know the rules and strategies of your favourite online casino games – what’s next? Our top tips below can help you learn how to win online casino games by choosing the right sites and following best practices to increase your chances of winning.

    1. Play With the Best Online Casinos
    Before playing with any online casino site, we recommend doing some research on your chosen casino. Check its payout percentage and payout speed, and whether its games are compatible with your devices and Internet connection speed.

    You can read our casino reviews to get you started and make sure to check out our Blacklisted Casinos to ensure you know which ones to avoid.

    2. Find Games With a Low House Edge
    Every casino game has a house edge. This is essentially the statistical advantage the casino has over the player.

    If you’re looking to win, try to find games and bets that offer the lowest house edge per bet.

    For example, craps has simple one-roll ‘proposition bets’ which are known to have a significantly higher house edge than the pass line bet. “Hopping the hard 10” (i.e. betting that the next roll will be a five and a five, which is harder to roll than a six and a four) pays 30:1.

    Brush up on your strategies to ensure your bets and plays are keeping the odds in your favour.

    3. Don’t Chase Losses
    Sometimes you find yourself in a downward spiral from the very beginning of a session. It’s important to remember that it’s statistically normal for this to happen on occasion.

    Don’t lose your head and attempt to gain it all back quickly through bigger wagers, or higher-risk bets when the house edge is poor.

    In poker, there’s even a term for this behaviour: “tilt”. When this happens, other players notice and take advantage of your poor decision-making for their benefit.

    Recognize when you are on a losing streak, accept such losses, and refuse the temptation to bet over your session bankroll.

    4. Collect the Best Bonuses
    Don’t miss out on free money. Online casinos offer bonuses as an incentive to players to gamble at their sites instead of others.

    There is a slew of different casino bonuses and deals available:

    Sign-up bonus – Earn free credit when you sign up to a casino

    Welcome bonus – New players can receive free credit when they first play

    Deposit bonus – Some online casinos will top-up accounts with free money when players deposit a specified amount

    No deposit bonus – Sometimes online casinos will give extra credit in the form of a no deposit bonus, regardless of whether they have deposited funds.

    Free bonuses – Free bonuses can take the form of extra spins or rounds in online casino games for simply playing

    Refer-a-friend bonuses – If a friend accepts your invite to an online casino, you will receive free credit

    Loyalty bonuses – Play with an online casino for a while, and it will reward you for your dedicated gameplay with extra credit or free rounds in a game.

    The combination of welcome, sign-up and no deposit bonuses can give you extra bankroll to keep playing longer. Free bankroll is also an opportunity to try new games and perfect your strategies with no risk to your real winnings

    However, pay close attention to any terms and conditions attached to the bonuses so you don’t waste your time playing in ways that don’t qualify you to collect.

    5. Learn Casino Game Strategies
    Games of strategy like poker pit player against player. More often than not, those who know how to manage their bankroll and which moves to make at key betting opportunities beat less-informed players. There are plenty of free learning tools, such as Blackjack Academy, that can help.

    You can never have too much information when playing a game of strategy for real money.

    6. Play Casino Games Within Your Limits
    Online casinos offer players several opportunities to improve their gameplay and up the stakes through tournaments or detailed games like multi-reel online slots.

    While it’s tempting to play for big jackpots, you must first know the limits of your skills and experience. Bigger stakes mean more pressure and new players can be particularly susceptible to common pitfalls more experienced players know to avoid.

    Set winning and losing limits per session and stick to them. They’ll keep you in your comfort zone and keep your mind in a state where playing remains fun and thrilling rather than anything else.

    7. Avoid Alcohol
    If you’re playing to win real money, we highly recommend avoiding alcohol. Remain alert and ready to make the best choices.

    Alcohol lowers your inhibitions and can influence you to take bigger risks you wouldn’t otherwise make with a clear head.

    There’s a reason the casinos in Las Vegas give away alcohol to players on the gaming floors.

    8. Use Free Casino Games
    The best online casinos will offer free versions of casino games. The gameplay is the same as real money games, except you win points instead of money.

    These offer a break from the intensity of wagering, and an opportunity to hone skills or try a new game before playing for real money.

    9. Find the Best Banking Method
    When choosing an online casino to play with, it’s worth checking their offered banking methods. Some will offer better bonuses or lower withdrawal fees for using certain types, such as cryptocurrency.

    Other banking methods, such as bank transfer or cheque withdrawals, can take longer and result in higher withdrawal fees from online casinos. Choose an online casino that offers the best deal for you and your winnings.

    10. Quit While You’re Winning
    When you’re hitting a winning streak in online casino games, it’s tempting to continue betting in the hopes of winning more.

    However, this is a common pitfall many players fall prey to, as it is more likely they will lose the money they just won in the long run.

    Set a budget and stick to it, even if you win over your budgeted amount.

    ]]>     In this article, we will be explaining how to bet on soccer. We’ll explain the numerous methods to bet on soccer and the terminology commonly used. Soccer is a widely-bet sport worldwide and there are a number of different ways to bet an individual game.

    Betting the 3-way Moneyline:

    In soccer, there are many types of competitions with varying rules so it’s always good to be informed prior to placing a bet. In most competitions, draws may be the final result of the game, so there are 3 different outcomes to bet on between Team A and Team B:

    Team A wins

    Team B wins

    Team A and Team B draw

    Soccer bets are based on results after 90 minutes of play or, ‘Regular Time’, which includes any time added by the referee in respect of injuries and other stoppages. Any Overtime, Golden Goals or Penalty Shoot-Outs do not count towards these betting since they are not considered ‘Regular Time’. For example, in the elimination stages of the World Cup, a winner is required in the tournament in order to progress to the next stage, but all bets are settled on 90 minutes of play (Regular Time). Thus, a draw is a possible outcome to bet on even in a game where one team must be eliminated. An example of what a 3-way moneyline would look like is:

    France -129

    Switzerland +325

    Draw +250

    Betting the 2-way Moneyline without the Draw:

    Another way of betting soccer is to take the 2-way moneyline, also known as “Draw, No Bet” This is betting on the outcome of the game without the Draw. The two possible wagers are:

    Team A wins

    Team B wins

    This form of betting eliminates the option of the Draw, and will likely have inflated odds on the favorite and deflated odds on the underdog to win the match since a draw results in no bet. For example, in a World Cup match between France and Switzerland, odds on the 2-way moneyline would like look:

    France -310

    Switzerland +272

    As you can see, there is no option to bet on the draw, and if the game ends in a draw, the bet is refunded or “No-Actioned”, and is as if the bet was never placed.

    Betting Goal Lines:

    Similar to betting the 2-way moneyline (without the draw), the Goal Line is a way for bettors to win a bet on multiple outcomes of the game. Goal Lines are similar to Puck Lines in hockey and Point Spreads in football or basketball. A Goal Line is typically 0.5 goals but for games with big favorites, the Goal Line may be 1,1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and so on. A World Cup match between Argentina and Iran looks like this:

    Argentina -2.5 goals (+110)

    Iran +2.5 goals (-120)

    If you bet Argentina -2.5 goals, then to win the bet they must win by 3 goals or more. On the other side, betting Iran +2.5 goals means to win the bet, Iran can win, draw, or lose by 1 or 2 goals.

    Betting Totals:

    Totals in soccer work differently than other sports and can be shown in multiples of .25 goals. Since scoring is minimal in soccer, bookmakers will often times set a Total of 2.25 or 2.75. For example, if you bet on the Over 2.25 goals, half your bet is placed on “Over 2” and the other half of the bet is placed on “Over 2.5”. If the game settles on 2, you lose half your bet (Over 2.5) and refunded the other half (Over 2). If the game settles on 3, you win both bets (Over 2 and Over 2.5).

    Another example is if you bet on the Under 2.75 goals. In this example, half your bet is placed on the Under 2.5 goals and the other half is bet on the Under 3 goals. If the game lands on 3, you’d lose half your bet (Under 2.5) and refunded the other half (Under 3).
