UK Best Horse Racing Bet Today

 

Many punters look on the internet for a UK best horse racing bet today as a shortcut to finding profitable selections with minimal effort from their part. Unfortunately it’s not that easy!

Somebody has to do the work along the way i.e. horse form study and that hard work and information gathering in finding these best bets is passed down the various channels like social media or word of mouth to the thousands of punters out there.

How do we define the best horse racing bet today

 

This is an interesting question most punters would say the definition of a best horse racing bet today would be a winning one. This is not the right definition and we need to study this more closely. We bet on horses to make a long term profit and the only way you achieve this is by backing horses at larger prices than their implied odds of winning the race and they obviously have to win. Now we could say a best horse racing bet today could be by backing horses at 5/1 or decimal odds 6.0 when their implied odds of winning the race are 3/1 or decimal odds 4.0.  I think you will have got the point I am trying to make by now. Just simply backing horses at SP – starting price you will lose in the long term.

Another way to look at best horse racing bet today is when you have a potential future group horse in the making running in a handicap horse race. These do not pop up all the time and it is sometimes normally only known by connections of the horse.

So these are just two examples of best horse racing bets and there are many more.

How you can capitalise with best horse racing bet today

 

We know the price tends to collapse on these types of bets. I tend to lay these bets 5 minutes pre race off on the Betfair betting exchange. I then place a back bet also before the race starts and then green up my profit if both sides of the book get matched and the price of the horse has drifted away from its lay price.

 

Conclusions

 

Personally I like to study UK horse form and pick my selections myself I think you are in more control and not relying on someone else to do the hard work. Now do not get me wrong when a good horse bet does come along I do back them.
