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.

These animals are usually kept in a stall or a fenced area. The paddock room has a lot of attached meaning to it. Back in world war two this used to be the code name for war room in London where Winston Churchill met with his officials, at least twice the whole duration of WW2. In the case of this article, it is a place where horseplayers would put their wagers on the winning bid.

The art of handicapping a race is not as simple as throwing darts on a picture of horses and numbers. Although, that is one way placing an unintelligent bet. The fun part of these races is how people look at the patterns and factors that can get an entry to win. To people who wager in these sporting events, they have studied it enough to develop their own way of analyzing a bet.

The Daily Racing Form, or DRF, is a printed document released day and night that show the statistics and results of a race. This is used by many horseplayers as important reference in analyzing their wagers. Many things come into play when deciding which entries to bet on.

There are a variety of bet types for this sport. Horse racing is generally legal in the states but regulations may vary per state. One form of betting may not be allowed in one state while it is permitted in another. What type of betting you get into depends on your expertise, confidence and the money in your pocket. There are easy ones and extremely hard ones that need incredible luck and probably a divine intervention to win, just like the lottery.

The goal is to get top 3 entries at most. This is what handicapping is for. It singles out only the essential parts of considering a horse. As long as you have lowered your number of possible recipient of the wager, then you are more likely to win a round or two. Those who are experienced in the field already know which ones to include and which ones to drop based on the reports from the DRF.

Breeding and genetics is also something to look out for. For those that actually invest in the care for these creatures it can be a matter of luck. The horses are expensive and can cost at least 5 digit values at the youngest age that they get them. Factors to consider include what the playing surface is made of, how many wins a particular jockey has had in a year and so 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.

The art of betting in this sport is very strategical and that is what makes it enjoyable. The beauty in gambling is not in the winning but the betting in itself. The thrill and the risk is what keeps these horseplayers going. Maybe it is the resemblance of the illusion of control that one may feel when trying to predict the outcome of something that can seem totally random.
