Tips And Tricks For Horse Race Handicapping In A Paddock Room

By Paul Cox


Horses are such elegant creatures. Whether you lean on to hobbies like horse back riding or watching horse races, there is just a certain elegance and thrill watching them run freely. The sport has been around for so long. This is why there is a need to keep these creatures safes and well taken care of.

Horses are often kept in fences called paddocks. The paddock room may either be where they keep the horse or the name for a facility where players can discuss game technicalities before placing in their bets. Back in WW2, this was the codename for the place where Winston Churchill would very occasionally hold meetings with other war officials. Unrelated but still relevant.

They call analyzing the possible outcome of the game as handicapping. There are also least effective methods like randomly punching holes on a piece of cardboard, but you do this if you do not bother losing or winning. There are patterns relating between different games and races that may help determine how likely a horse can win.

A very important publication for this is the Daily Racing Form. Enthusiasts are well versed in reading the information provided and can use this for handicapping. While this tool has proved to be useful over the years, personal analysis based on experience plays a large part. Winning not only depends on the horse but also the trainers, jockeys and the playing field itself.

A player can bet on more than one entry depending on which kind of bet he is playing for. There are bets called the trifecta and superfecta which can be bracketed under the more complex forms of horse race gambling. There are also safer types like show and place that do not require as much analysis considering that their rewards are not as high.

In the world of equestrian race, the goal is to limit the effort of handicapping and then restricting yourself to bet between a lesser number of entries. This increases your chances of winning. Most of the high stakes players do not bother with maiden entries or horses that have only started the sport.

The genetics also come into play. In most cases only three horses are considered for each race. Many articles state that the track used for the competition has to be considered. When picking a bet, you have to make sure that they have won or placed in the past three competitions. And if they have make sure the surface they were running on are the same ones with the playing field that you are betting on.

The trainers and their wins are also taken into consideration largely. Player make a check list, mentally or physically of the things that their candidate needs to qualify for their current top three. The more check marks an entry has that qualifies according to the metrics that the horseplayer has set, the closer the horse is to be up on that list.

There is a certain allure to gambling that cannot be found in any other activity. While most might think it is in the winning that the excitement comes from, it actually is in the possibility of and the illusion that you just might win from analyzing you bets through handicapping. Maybe the whole process is an allusion to how people can be obsessed with trying to control situations that will definitely have random outcomes.
