- Only bet in races where I am confident of my speed map
- Place a lot of exotic bet types on those races, eg; trifectas, quinellas
- Only back individual horses that I deem are value based on my ratings
- Adhere to a constant staking level
Would no doubt be very different to a lot of people out there but it works for me. I find that if I get the speed map right and bet around who is going to lead, sit leader's back, etc that I really clean up on exotics but I really need to maximise those races as clearly there is a fair chance of getting nothing when I get it wrong.
I leave stand start and trotters races alone as too many variables and rarely back any horse from a 2nd row draw as I like to back horses who make their own luck racing on the speed. Also do not bet at tracks like Mildura, Stawell and Ararat as a rule as find there are just too many cowboy drivers when they race at those venues.
As I said previously, there are a million different techniques out there and I have found that this is best for me.
