Description
TEACH YOURSELF HORSE RACING is a course of self-study that will help you to identify the factors you need to consider when gambling on horse racing. It will help you to make better decisions based on the way that the industry works.
The book covers where to bet for the best deal, the most profitable kinds of bets, types of bets to avoid, the best races to bet on, getting the best price, how to assess the runners and study the form, where to get information and how to assess its reliability, betting systems and how to use them, avoiding errors and checking results and payouts. There are also chapters on how to plan and budget sensibly.
The ultimate aim is to teach you how to get better value, enabling more reliance on skill rather than luck. It is for those who may be already betting or have decided that they would like to begin.
It includes a ready reckoner to use as a reference, and a glossary to explain the jargon used. It also gives invaluable advice on where to bet and the danger of betting illegally.
