As the popularity of the betting exchanges grows, so more and more people are looking to profit from horse racing by laying horses to lose. But what is the best strategy? On the face of it many seem to have their ups and downs with betting exchanges, but many have the potential to be really successful when used successfully.

One of the most popular betting strategies I come across is to lay horses on Betfair called the ‘vulnerable’ or ‘onerously’ favourites. You will probably at some stage have had to do this with your own horse, because your bookie won’t take too kindly to the practise!

Vulnerable favourites are horses that are expected to do well in their next race, however they maybe not known as a good favourite at all. Some favourites that you know are really hard to hit are sometimes known as ‘miserable’ horses. They are horses that will turn colours, however the bettors know that they won’t be winning next time.

Some horses’ ground presence can be a good indicator as to whether they are vulnerable or not. Empirical information such as the speed figures of the horse can be good indicators as to what it’s ability is in the Dewapoker.

Some horses that are thought to be favorites on the book betting markets are sometimes vulnerable on the exchanges. scan through any pre-race horse betting markets and you will notice that some favourites aremarked as vulnerable on the exchanges.

Vulnerable favourites are horses that are expected to do well in their next race, however they maybe not known as a good favourite at all. Some favourites that you know are really hard to win are sometimes known as ‘miserable’ or ‘obligeating’ horses. Having said that, horses that are expected to do well in their next race, however they are not known as favorites at all. Some horses that are expected to do well in their next race, however they are not known as favorites at all.

All horses are expected to have their speed brought into their races within a certain range. Some horses will have a great repertoire of speeds, while others will have the ability to run blistering speed in shorter distances.

Some horses will also have shown the ability to handle both surfaces. Some horses only are capable of running on certain types of ground, while others are capable of running on various surfaces.

The ability to handle various distances is also very individualistic. While some horses are capable of running a distance on either surface, they may not be capable of handling other distances.

So besides looking atindividual performance, looking at match conditions is an extremely effective way of finding potential weaknessesin a horse’s game. Certain horses may be Very snapping, while others are capable of running a distance on either surface type. On the other hand, some horses may be highly versatile, capable of running on either surface as well as various distances on the track.

This gives you a great opportunity to make very accurate bets, especially if you are using betting exchanges such as Betfair. If you know what the realists are Actual bookmakers, then you will be able to make very good bets based on this information.

No matter what surface the horse is capable of running on, by examining numerous factors such as:

And if you think that a horse might be potentially running at a certain optimum speed range, and then you can back that bet.

In simple terms, you are looking to back a horse that is more likely to win, based on your analysis of the relevant facts.

How Is The Information Useful?

Once you have a thorough understanding of individual horse’s form, you can spot certain trends emerging. You will learn of any injury or suspension that a horse may have suffered.

You can then decide if a horse is more likely to win or also lose in the next few races. This is where the bettor develops his own ‘III plan’ during the betting season. Certain horses may be favored to win in the current race, but you should not rule out the possibility that it could be a underdog, taking into account the recent race results.

Actually the III plan is much simpler than the II plan, and is a great tool to develop your own horse racing betting systems. Before you bet, always start with a small bet on your favorite horse, that you know has a better probability of winning than all other possibilities. Once you have done this, you can start to build up to larger bets on other horses you observe are stronger contenders. The II method is not necessarily best suited for doing II, but you can always use it as a accessory.

The II method is also useful to use with the advent of betting exchanges such as Betfair. Using Betfair, you don’t personally bet against a horse, but against another horse.
