Simple horse betting systems.

#1  Level Stake

This horse racing system simply works by placing the same stakes ($10 on each selection, for example), 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've placed a table of odds below for you to show how many selections can be bet upon.

Odds of Favorite:

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

Now for this horse racing system to work, let’s say for arguments sake that the favorite was being offered @ 5 to 1. Take a look at the above table and look for 5 to 1, there you will see that you are allowed to bet on the first 4 horses in the betting market i.e. 1st Favorite.

The same goes for any price that the favorite has within the odds displayed in the table above.

This horse racing system, called “Level Stake” betting, has been around for many years, however, not too many people actually do it because the majority of horse bettors are looking for a BIG win with every bet.  Of course, in so doing, 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 to 5 at say 5DIMES 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. Let's say that the favorite were to win you would receive back $16 in winnings and your $10 stake money as well.  Thus, a total of $26.

If the second favorite were to win at odds of 5 to 1, then you would receive back $60 plus your $10 stake money back for a total of $70 return.
If you were to select a big race where the favorite was priced up at 7 on 5DIMES 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.

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.

#2  2nd Favorite

Another variation of the above horse racing system is to NOT BET on the favorite and use the second favorite as your stating point. This enables you to add more selections and get bigger priced winners.

If you decide to place your level stake bets with the favorite 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.

Use the "Daily Racing Form" newspaper.

On racing day, to apply this horse racing system simply log onto your favorite online horse racing website (I suggest 5Dimes, BookMaker, or SBG Global)and go through ALL of that days racing.
Then mark off (in your newspaper) the selection that the Daily Race Form 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 the newspaper) 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 20 minutes to do. That's 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 your favorite online horse betting site 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 place your bet however many horses that the odds in the grid tell you to.

#3  Races With Many Horses Running

The other variation of this horse racing system is where you miss out the favorite all together and the selection process for this is much simple and quicker.

Simply try to find races that have between 12 & 16 horses running in them. 

Then all you need to do for this horse racing system to work is to get the odds for the SECOND favorite and place your stake money down on as many selections as the table allows you to.

Now that you know how easy it is to to use these FREE horse betting systems, 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.

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 horse 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.  Thus, $2.50 is the stake money that you place on the first 4 selections in your first race.

I can just hear you say “$2.50 on a horse, these system will NOT 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 favorite wins then you will win a level stake profit of $2.50 BUT if the favorite loses and an 8 to 1 shot wins, you will then pick up a nice $18.00 profit.

Then as the days go by your betting bank increases and then so does your initial stake money.  Thus, soon instead of placing $2.50 on each horse you will find yourself placing $18.00 on each horse.

To actually profit from horse racing, what you need to have is a system that can regularly find the false favorites and any one of these horse racing systems will do that for you!
