Make more profit with the top winning betting strategies

By: jessica thomtion

Many people indulge in betting on horse racing. There are others who are put off from betting because they do not have the basic knowledge regarding how horse race betting. Such knowledge would help them to develop Winning Betting Strategies for horse racing. Therefore, a few basics of betting are being explored below. A few terms requires to be explained to understand it better.

Stake is the amount of money you want to gamble. It could be as small as $1 to as large as $1,000. Each racecourse sets its minimum stake amount. If you win, then your winnings would depend upon the odds of the horse you have selected.

In the language of betting, odds (which is also known as 'price') express the probability of a horse winning a race. There are different types of odds or 'price'. They are:
1 Odds against
2 Even Money
3 Odds on

Now let us understand each of them in more details.

If the chance of a horse winning a race is considered to be less than 50% then it is described as odds against. Odds against could be 2/1, 7/1, 15/2, 50/1 etc. In this case if your horse wins you will receive your stake back plus your stake multiplied by the odds against it.
Let us take the example of odds against 2/1 (It is pronounced as 'two-to-one') and your stake as $10. In case, the horse wins, how much you would earn?
In such a case, you will get
1 You will get $10 back
2 You will also get your stake multiplied by the odds of 2/1 i.e. S10 x 2 = $20
Therefore, you will receive $30 in total. Sometimes, the figure of odds might be quite complicated like 15/2 or 9/4 and so on. This is because the odds are always expressed as fractions involving integers and no half number is involved in it.

In case of Even money or 'Evens', the chance of your horse wining the race is 50%. If your stake is the same as earlier i.e. $10, then you will receive the following amount, if your horse wins the race:
1 You will get back $10
2 You will also get your stake multiplied by the odds of 1/1 i.e. $10 x 1 = $10
Therefore, you will receive $20 in total in this case.

In case of Odds on, the chances of your horse winning the race is more than 50%. In this case if your horse wins you will receive your stake back plus your stake multiplied by the odds on it. If your stake is the same as earlier i.e. $10 and your odds on is ½ (pronounced as one-to-two on), and then if your horse wins the race, you will receive the following amount:
1 You will get back your stake of $10
2 You also get stake multiplied by the odds of ½ = $10 x ½ = $5
Therefore, you will receive $15 back.

The word 'on' indicates that the odds are reversed.

Another term you would be listening often is the terms Long Odds and Short Odds. When the odds is long i.e. 50/1, the chances of the horse winning the race is very low. In case of short odds, the chance of winning is quite high.

This basic knowledge of betting would help you to develop your winning betting strategies.
