TYPES OF HORSE RACING TIPS TO CONSIDER

The activity of betting on horse racing has kept sports fans gripped since the early days of gambling. As it’s continued to grow, the bookmakers have chosen to provide more markets to cater to every potential eventuality in all of the UK and Ireland’s biggest races. This opportunity has meant that you’ve been given more ways to create horse racing tips than merely predicting a specific horse to win.

It would be wrong to talk about different ways to bet on horse racing without mentioning each-way betting, which supplies more security to punters by allowing a percentage of their total returns if their horse fails to win the race but still finishes in the top few resulting places. If you’re not as experienced with the sport of horse racing, you might not see many dimensions to betting on it, but there’s more than one way to get involved and several ways to find value.

Bet Builder and Request A Bet

One of the ways that the bookies have made it possible to back more than just the winner of a chosen race is by covering the number of lengths for the winner, the number of winning horses from a specific trainer, and specified brackets for a horse’s finishing place. All of these markets and more are included in the request a bet and bet builder features, making it possible to include all of your horse racing tips in one distinctly larger bet.

Lucky 15

Even experienced punters might not be completely aware of how a Lucky 15 works but it’s worth considering for your next bet, especially if you’ve identified four horses with large odds. Rather than placing money on a four-fold, a Lucky 15 offers the opportunity to compile your horse racing tips into a bet with fifteen times the stake and a total of fifteen different bets. This might sound dangerous to some as it means that you would typically place £15 on it - equating to £1 on each outcome - but there’s some security around a Lucky 15, with the opportunity to get some returns even if some of your horses lose.

Ante post

Although you will continue to place your bets in the same way - either to win or to finish each-way - the option of betting ante post allows for you to secure the best price in advance before any fluctuations in the market. Bookmakers release the odds for horses in all major race meetings several months before the runs take place, making it easier to bet ante post, and it would be advised to bet in this way, as it gives you a guarantee of the best price before the masses of bets on your chosen horse inevitably decrease the odds.
