The Use of the "Energy Rating" - It Can Help Turn You Into a Winner at Thoroughbred Race Tracks

Speed ratings, time off between races, breeding, connections, size and weight - are all factors that horse race players - like you - use to handicap a race and uncover a winner. And, while all of that information is helpful, there is still more you need to know if you hope to win more often than you do now. You need to know how to figure out a horse's "energy rating"... information that will tell you if a horse is in shape and ready to run a big race.

Energy Ratings can help you Uncover "Golden Nuggets"... Long Shots that are ready to Win

Standard handicapping techniques, whether used by you or employed by a professional handicapper, tend to lead you in the direction of the "Morning Line Favorite," a horse that is likely to go off at short odds. The "Morning Line Favorite" is the horse picked by the track handicapper, a man (or woman) that is paid to help you make winning bets. But Morning Line Favorites lose their fair share of races... actually, they lose many races.

Long Shot Winners can put Lots of Cash in your Pocket... Every time you Visit a Race Track.

You can - and will - place bets on horses that go off at long odds once you know how to uncover a horse's "energy rating." This little bit of extremely relevant information will separate you from the great mass of thoroughbred horse race players and enable you to fill your pockets with cash... perhaps not on every trip to a thoroughbred race track, but frequently enough to put a smile on your face.

Energy Ratings are not a Radical Handicapping Idea... just a Very Smart Way of Finding Winners.

Face facts. If you opt to continue with your old "tried and true" handicapping methods, you will spend some time at the window cashing tickets... often at very short odds. If, however, you are willing to learn a new, improved handicapping technique - "energy ratings," you will spend even more time at the windows of your favorite thoroughbred race track... cashing big winning tickets.

Remember: "Energy Ratings" help you Locate the Horse that is in Shape, Fit and Ready to Run.

Not all thoroughbred race horses are in shape for every race in which they are entered. If you can find those "unfit" horses and eliminate them, you increase your chances of winning. Use the "Energy Rating" system to locate the best horses in every race. You will win races much more frequently.

5 Things You HAVE To Know To Be A Winner When Betting On Horses And Sports!

Maybe you're like me. Maybe you've always enjoyed the thrill of a gamble and the great feeling you get from backing a winner. But maybe, just like me, you haven't experienced that feeling often enough because, for the most part, losing wagers and the empty pockets that go with them have been the norm, hugely out-weighing those winning moments.

If that's the case, you need to take stock of the situation and wise up. That's what I've finally managed to do, and if I can turn things around so can any other struggling punter. But I have to admit I didn't turn things around all by myself.

Fact is, I don't believe I could have changed the way I bet without the benefit of outside guidance because I was probably too pigheaded and too much of a know-all to have ever considered, let alone accepted, that my failings as a horse and sports bettor had been entirely down to me all along.

That was the reality I had to come to terms with, and it wasn't nice. We're talking a big jolt to the ego. But despite bruised pride - and plenty of it - I'm now pleased and grateful that any trace of smug attitude has been well and truly knocked out of me.

One thing's for sure. I'd still be on the same aimless path as before but for setting eyes on a FREE revelation - "Home Truths of Sports Betting" - that doesn't pull any punches in getting its points across.

Amongst the stuff explained are these 5 essentials...

• Why so many people lose money betting
• How they fall into that losing trap
• Common habits that MUST be discarded
• Practical measures you HAVE to take to be a winner
• How to acquire the all-important "winner's mindset"

Okay, if you're not a millionaire already, "Home Truths of Sports Betting" won't turn you into one. But if you're not already a successful punter, reading Home Truths WILL help turn you into a winner by giving you the know-how to realise you CAN confront the bookie on better than even terms and come out on top.

Ever since having my first bet as a juvenile I was always a cocksure gambler but, looking back, there were rarely proper grounds for such confidence. Basically I was just an idiot and, if that weren't bad enough in itself, I was also in denial.

Funny how you can bet and mostly lose - day in, day out - for weeks and months, even years, yet still somehow convince yourself you're doing okay. I've had many a chat with like minded losers where we each claimed to be ahead of the book, overall - or at least breaking even with the enemy - despite the truth being very different. It's so easy to get into that kind of losing rut and find the only escape is to pretend it isn't happening.

Well, not any more. Not for me. I've escaped for real from all that self delusional stuff and changed my whole approach to betting. I now take on the bookie with genuine confidence because, for the first time in my betting life, I actually know what I'm doing. It's a big transformation for me, and a satisfying one, and perhaps the best part of it is that I've made the necessary changes by tuning into a dose of no-holds-barred wisdom that didn't cost me a single penny. Won't cost you anything either.

Change for good and for FREE the way you think, and act, as a horse racing or sports bettor. Visit http://www.freebettinginfo4u.com/ right now.

Think Like a Winner for Horse Racing Handicapping Success

Horse racing handicapping is an intellectual challenge that requires the right frame of mind in order to win. But how do you get that right frame of mind or even know what it feels like? You may be in a lousy mood and win or you may be happy and lose. What makes the difference?

First of all, let's make sure you are looking at winning and losing and seeing those two "imposters," for what they are. If you go to the race track and lose money, it doesn't mean you're stupid or a bad person. If you keep losing, it does mean that you are repeating the same behavior that has a negative result and that there must be some reward or reinforcement in it for you.

If you win at the race track, it doesn't mean you're a genius or better than the people who lose. Winning and losing are just two ends of the same stick and the best horse players in the world lose some times. One of the most important skills a handicapper can develop is the ability to look at losing and winning and not let his or her emotions get out of control and thereby cause him or her to make bad decisions.

In poker, when you lose a pot, but seemed to have the best hand going into it, it is sometimes referred to as a "bad beat." When you lose in horse racing, perhaps by having your horse disqualified for bumping in the stretch run, it's also a bad beat. Bad beats happen in life and the mark of a professional is the ability to recover quickly from the emotional let down and to carry on as if nothing happened.

If the system you are using to evaluate horses is a good one and you are only betting when you get fair value odds, then you are making the right decisions. As we all learn, however, the right decision doesn't always result in a win. It should however, result in a profit in the long run and that's what the smart horse player knows.

Therefore, the right frame of mind, that was mentioned earlier in this horse racing article, is the confidence that comes from knowing that, while life may have its little ups and downs, if you always make the right choices based on the best available knowledge, then you will succeed in the end. Strong horse players have the ability to stick to that and not let the emotional shock of losing sway them or cloud their judgment.
