For some reason I find oddities like this May 16, 2004 race very entertaining. The Hasta la Vista Handicap at Turf Paradise in Arizona is run at what today is an unusually long distance of 1 7/8 miles. This requires two full circuits of the course, rather than the usual one time around in most races. Unfortunately for jockey Jorge Carreno, he forgets that minor detail, creating a very unusual sitation. On a personal note, in the early 1980s, I recall Hall of Fame jockey Jorge Velasquez falling victim to the same mental lapse in the 2 1/4 mile Display Handicap at Aqueduct. My father and I got a big kick out of the fans watching the replay cheering “come on Georgie” the first time around, as he was furiously whipping and driving despite having a mile left to run.

Football enthusiasts from all over the world anxiously anticipate every year the debut of the football season. Football betting is certainly a popular sport. Many people enjoy just watching a football match and supporting their favorite team. Even more people however add excitement to the game by making football picks. When there’s money at stake everything intensifies. But how can you know which bets are safe? We at freunderdog.com are prepared to give you the best free NFL picks you can find.
If you want to get involved in football betting you should be aware that you will have to take quite a few risks. Some risks are smaller, others bigger, as there are no certainties to wagering. What’s important is accepting the risks and enjoying the thrill of the game. You should also try to be as informed as possible about the game before wagering. It is recommended that you watch football matches constantly and take notes of previous outcomes. This way you’ll get an idea of how certain teams are doing and what to expect from them. Keep a look out for players’ injuries and other special circumstances that might affect the play of a team. Sometimes weather can influence the outcome of a game. Other times the coach might do something to give you a hint on the outcome of the match or you may simply look at the team’s motivation to get an idea. For the best football picks however we recommend that you turn to a professional handicapper. Remember, they make football picks for a living and you can only benefit from their experience.
There are several ways to bet on football, including the halftime wagering method. A bet made after the end of the first half is called a halftime wager. These bets are solely based on what will happen in the second half of the game. Halftime bets are considered for the most part to be a more cautious breed of wagering. Before engaging in a wager you should do your homework. Take a long look at how the teams have performed in past games. Look at their performance in the first half and their evolution in the second and compare between matches. Also keep an eye open for spotting any tactics coaches may use repeatedly. Comparing a team’s performances at home and on the road or inside and outside the division is also a key factor when making the right football picks. If you pay attention to the first half of the game and do your research prior to the play, you stand a good chance of making some money out of your passion for football. If you want the input of a professional who is familiar with all of these research tactics don’t hesitate to visit our website and get the best free NFL picks.
A great deal of the NFL excitement can be found in college football games also. These games have a certain something to them, players fight for school prestige and glory and dream of playing in the NFL one day. There are no salaries involved, just hopes and dreams and that’s what makes college football so spectacular. Of course there’s not so much at stake as in the NFL games. This could be a good thing, depends how you look at it. Because the pressure is somewhat lesser, college football coaches don’t hesitate to try trick plays and therefore the games can be very exciting. With college football you should keep in mind that the players are not professional like in the NFL, so don’t make your bets just like you do with NFL games. Rivalry is a very important issue when college football is concerned. If two rival teams play each other there’s a good chance the game will be pretty tight, no matter what the general level of each team is. Also, with college football players are less adaptable than the pros. They usually stick to the initial game plan; they don’t have such a good ability to adapt to a sudden twist of the situation as the pros. If you’re interested in betting on college football as well, we at Wunderdog Sports Picks offer you free college football picks as well as free NFL picks.
Whether you enjoy the NFL football games or prefer watching college football, we have the finest football picks. Don’t hesitate to visit our website and get the free NFL picks you were looking for. Remember, it’s always best to get your tips from professionals.

This article will look at how you can profit from handicap racing, plus I will cover the differences between handicap racing and conditions racing, as not everyone will know the difference.
In fact the writing of this article came about from a request from one of my members, and so I thought that maybe you would also benefit from looking at how handicap racing differs from conditional racing, and how not knowing the difference could potentially cost you money.
Confusion Can Lead To Disaster So Don’t Make These Mistakes
As you may know, I am a real advocate of information being power when it comes to betting on horse racing. So with that said, if you want to drastically improve your chances of taking money from the bookmakers with your racing tips, you need to arm yourself with as much quality and relevant information as possible.
And this is where some novice punters fall at the first fence (pardon the pun), because before you place any cash on a horse you need to make sure that you know what kind of race you are betting on. That is to say, is it a handicap race or a conditions race?
And if you’ve been to watch live racing before, then you’ll know what its like. If you haven’t by the way, you really should its a great day out, and this will explain what you can expect when you go for the first time.
You’re looking at the different races and who’s riding on what. You get to the parade ring and there are already whispers going around about this horse and that horse. It’s easy to be influenced by what you hear. And everyone thinks they’re an expert when it comes to horse racing tips don’t they?
And so with all the jargon and gossip that you hear at the racecourse, is it any wonder that punters end up getting thoroughly confused, and betting on a horse simply because they like the name, the way it walks, the colour of the jockey’s silks or because they overheard someone in the pub mention that it had a chance?
I’ve seen it many, many times, but the truth is it doesn’t have to be like that it really doesn’t.
Your Horse Racing Tips Are Useless If You Don’t Know This
So the key is having a bit of background knowledge, even just the basics, which will enable you to get started. This will ensure that you are a bit more savvy than the average punter, and therefore you will have a little advantage that will hopefully give you that edge over the bookmakers.
So having given you that bold statement, what are the most important factors to consider when betting on horses? Of course, there are many, many variables that affect the outcome of a horse race, and there’s no way that I could cover all of them in this article, but let’s start with one of the fundamentals of horse racing. Handicapping.
This could be perhaps the biggest error that punters make, as they have no idea what kind of race they are betting on. In the UK, all races come under one of two categories. The first category is a handicap race, and the second one is called a conditions race.
The reason that distinguishing between these two different classes of race is important, is because the bookies pay different amounts on each-way bets gained in the two different types of race.
So for example, in a handicap race of less than 16 runners, you are paid one-quarter the odds on the first three finishers for an each way bet. You are also paid for the first four places in a handicap with 16 or more runners, so this in itself is worth knowing.
In conditions races however, you are only ever paid one-fifth the odds for finishing in the first three places, so can you see where I am coming from now? It’s crucial to be able to tell what type of race you are betting on.
Handicapping Explained
Essentially the handicap that I’m referring to, is additional weight that is allocated to a horse based upon its ability. The better the horse, then in theory the greater the weight that is carries compared to its fellow horses. This is done so that each horse potentially has an equal chance of winning the race.
The British Horseracing Board meets each week to look at each qualifying horses form and to assess its rating. Not every horse in the UK qualifies for a handicap. At the time of writing this, a flat horse for example must have either won a race, or participated in three races, to enable the handicapper the opportunity to look at the horse’s form.
To the layman, the details of the ratings system may be a bit confusing, but essentially it boils down to the higher the rating, the better the horse. Of course, the reason that we don’t just go and lump our money on the best rated horse is that it will be carrying the most weight, so from our point of view as punters, the key is to loom at the weight as just one factor of a horse’s potential in winning a race.
It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than this to being with. You now have some background knowledge of the differences between handicap races and conditions races and I hope this will stand you good stead when looking at the list of races in the paper tomorrow.

Why A Betting Exchange Can Offer You The Key To Successful Gambling…
–> Introduction
Too many gamblers are still living in the ‘dark ages’ and will only ever place a bet with a traditional bookmaker. They either can’t be bothered to learn how the exchanges work or simply don’t realize the features and value that can be had when betting within an exchange environment.
Believe me, using a betting exchange is very easy, and if you are not already using at least one exchange you should join one immediately after reading this article…
I’m not saying that a betting exchange should be used for all your betting. There will still be occasions when a traditional bookmaker will offer more desirable odds than those that are available on the exchanges. However, in the majority of cases you will find better value on the exchanges and additionally there are other VERY IMPORTANT features that only the betting exchanges offer. More on this later…
–> So What Is A Betting Exchange?
Put very simply, betting exchanges are a secure place where members of the betting public can exchange bets with each other anonymously, at odds that they specify themselves. The exchange companies simply act as the ‘middleman’ and match peoples bets.
As there are no bookie margins to factor in, prices are very often more desirable. The betting exchange companies make their money by taking a commission payment on your winning bets. This is usually in the region of 3 – 5%, but even taking this into account, it’s very common to find better prices on the exchange.
The cumulative effect of better prices when combined with a good staking plan, can make the difference between you generating a healthy profit or a bad loss. Using an exchange does not mean you will automatically win more frequently! You still have to find good value winning bets yourself or via a professional tipster but it’s the effect of getting a better return on your winning bets that will boost your betting bank and protect you during losing streaks.
Most people use the betting exchanges on the internet, but you can also place bets on the telephone.
–> Betting Exchange Advantages
As well as regularly finding better prices when backing a selection, exchanges also give the gambler some other very important advantages over traditional bookmakers.
–> Some of the key advantages are:
The ability to LAY a selection if you think it will not win.
The ability to BACK or LAY a selection to be PLACED. (This is very different to the well know Each Way bet offered by bookies and can be very powerful).
Betting IN RUNNING on many events INCLUDING HORSE RACING. This can give you many advantages and opens the door to new methods that may secure you more profits.
If you are very successful, you will not have the exchange company threatening to shut your account down. A very important point !
The ability to TRADE on price movements in betting events to guarantee yourself a profit regardless of the result.
Arbitrage Opportunities. Bookie and exchange price discrepancies often allow you to take a NO RISK bet.
Those are some of the key benefits of using a betting exchange and I will dig deeper into these and explain how you can use them to your advantage in future betting articles.
For the remainder of this article, lets concentrate on point 1 above, LAYING a selection to Lose.
–> LAYING A Selection to Lose – A Major Advantage Of The Betting Exchanges
Probably the most important feature of a betting exchange is the ability to LAY a selection. But what does laying a selection mean?
Laying a selection is often referred to as ‘Playing the role of a bookmaker’. Like a bookie, you offer a price against a selection / event happening (e.g. a certain horse to win a race or a football match ending as a draw). You only do this if in your opinion there is a great chance that the horse won’t win or the football match will not end as a draw. The betting exchanges simply match your lay bets with other customers who think the opposite of you (e.g. they think the horse will win or the match will end as a draw).
–> Lay Liabilities
The odds that you offer determine how much money you will need to ‘pay out’ if the selection actually wins (just like the bookie does when you have a winning bet with them). So if you were to place a lay bet of £10 at 5.0 (4/1) against a selection, you would be liable to pay out £40 from your account if that selection won (The other punter gets their £10 back plus £40 profit). If however, the selection does lose you get to keep the £10 staked by the other punter (just like the bookies have done with all your losing bets all these years!). It’s as simple as that.
Now, you might be thinking ‘great, I’ll simply lay all the rank outsiders and clean up’. STOP! Don’t even go down this route. If you keep placing lay bets on selections trading with very high odds (e.g. 50/1), you will win regularly but when 1 of them comes first you will probably wipe out all your winnings and more! A single £10 lay bet at 50/1 would see you liable for paying out £500 should the selection win!
Therefore, I strongly recommend that you decide upon a sensible upper limit for lay odds and stick to it no matter what. Just think about how many favorites get turned over in horse races every day of the year that are perhaps available to lay at very short odds like 1.5 (1/2). Your liability on a £10 lay bet at these odds is only £5, or £50 on a £100 lay bet. I like to keep my lay bets at odds below 4.0 (3/1) but that’s just my own personal choice but it gives you something to go on.
–> Flexible Odds / Placing an Order
The odds you offer obviously need to be realistic in order to be matched, but if you are not happy with the current price being requested by other punters you can simply place an ‘order’ in the exchange at your odds and hope that somebody eventually accepts your offer. (e.g. you may feel that the current price of 3.0 (2/1) is too high a price to lay a certain selection, so offer a lay bet at 2.75 (7/4) instead). If you’re lucky the price may well be matched. If the event starts without your lay bet being matched, your bet is simply cancelled so you gain/lose nothing.
–> Summary
Lay Betting might sound very confusing to the exchange newbie, but believe me it soon becomes very straightforward and you will find yourself laying selections much more frequently than you think. Let’s be honest, it must be easier to pick a horse you feel will definitely lose in an average 12 runner race, than find the single winner!
Well that’s it for part 1 of my betting exchange articles and all that’s left for me to say now is that if you don’t already have at least one betting exchange account, please open one right now. It will only take you five minutes and you’ll soon be thinking ‘How did I ever bet without using an exchange’?
