Horse Racing Long Shot Tips For Big Winners

When it comes to betting on horse races for profit, there are several schools of thought. Some people like to slowly grind out a profit on high percentage favorites while others like the big win with a longshot. While long shots are nice when you cash a ticket on them, the truth of the matter is that as an investment, the old saying, “Risk equals reward,” is demonstrated over and over again.

It all relates to the size of your bankroll, your thirst for thrills or adventure, and your financial plans. Winning longshots are a great thrill, but long periods without cashing a ticket can drag you down. Therefore, here are some tips to help you narrow down your search for high paying bets.

1. Have a plan.

If you are really serious about hitting long shots, you should start by studying them and making a strategic plan. A good system is better than no system at all because as they say, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” Therefore, before you go any farther, answer this one question, what is your plan? Do you have a systematic way of locating good long shot bets?

2. Know where to look for good longshot bets.

Why not start by studying long shots that have won recently at your favorite track? Start by studying the main factors and comparing them to the rest of the horses in the field. Did the horse have any advantage over the other horses that was overlooked by the crowd, such as speed, class, form?

If the crowd underestimated one of those factors before, they will do it again, guaranteed. The whole object of handicapping is to identify profitable situations that will repeat over and over again. With that thought in mind, after you determine if the bettors at a track underestimate one factor, the next thing to do is to make a list of trainers and jockeys who win with long shots.

3. Know who wins with longshots.

Because they share the information with their owners and other people, some trainers rarely win with a longshot. If they have a good horse, everybody on the backstretch knows. However, other trainers are much more secretive and will score with a big winner every now and then. The same is true of jockeys, though all most all of the good ones win with a long shot from time to time.

It is ironic that some of the biggest longshot winners are also ridden by some of the most famous and successful jockeys.

That’s it, master those three tips and you will be well on your way to hitting more long priced winners. Just remember that more fortunes are lost than made betting on horses and bet with your head and never over it. Enjoy your days at the races.

What is the best way to get into drag racing?

I want to try to get a very good foothold in this sport and was wondering what is the best way to do it. Should I buy a fully built car or should I build one myself. I have about $15,000.00. what class should i shoot for and how would I do. I have no experience in this sport but really wish to get into it and do it right so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your interest and time,

Greg P.

Put most of your money away. Find a solid older V8 car (Mustang or Firebird etc.) Get a helmet and start bracket racing. As you gain experience and get to know the other competitors, you will figure out the best class for you and then you can move in that direction.

mud drag racing rails

Some of the rails that run at our track. The firstone belongs to Neal Welch(http://welchracing.com/main.html)
The second is not really a “rail”, It is a pro-street truck. I has an all steel body, a factory production frame, The doors work, one 4-barrel carb. It even has mufflers!!! The block is a factory 426 hemi, with water jackets. Most of the rails run a solid block with no water jackets. With a horn and lights, you could drive it on the street!! He has the title. I think it’s a ‘34…I may be wrong on the year..but it’s all Dodge

I like drag racing its what want to be when i grow up?

I was in chicago for the summer i went drag strip call route 66 it was awesome a 1970 chevy camaro went about 10 seconds flat I hope the kids who are a big fan drag racing can talk to me Brandon lee

it’s fairly easy to get started in drag racing. start small at first. get a car (or truck like me…lol), hop it up, and go on an open drag night at your local drag strip. that’s where you get practice and experience. it’s easy to get started, but costs a lot.

Is drag racing dangerous if you have all the right safety equipment?

My boyfriend used to drag race and said he might do it again if he had the time and money. He said he would only do it at the drag strip where there are no other cars or cross streets, and would use all the safety equipment. He says it is safer than flying in an airplane, which I occasionally do when I go out of state. What is your opinion on this? Is it safe or dangerous?

I’ve been drag racing for more than 40 years.
I’m yet to ever get a scratch from it.
Use the safety equipment the way it’s supposed to be used and BACK OUT OF IT if something starts to go wrong.
I think driving on a public roadway is much more unsafe……..
