The most consistent horse racing systems have to have the basics and a handicapper must understand the basics. I have been around horse racing for 50 years including as an owner. Without the basics the rest is not going to do any good. If you want to learn how a horse owner and insider handicaps just go to http://williewins.homestead.com/truecb.html and get the truth. Bill Peterson is a former horse race owner and professional handicapper. He comes from a horse race handicapping family and as he puts it, "Horse Racing is in my blood." To see all Bill's horse racing material go to http://williewins.homestead.com/handicappingstore.html , Bill's handicapping store.
There are lots of horse racing systems being advertised that promise that you will make a certain amount of money if you religiously apply the methods they teach. There are other horse racing systems that promise to be like an ATM machine that you only need to have all the cash you will ever need. I haven't seen one that promises if you rub a lamp a genie will appear and give you hot tips, but I'll bet as I write this, there is someone writing that system.
The point is that the world is full of people who will tell you that getting rich is easy, you just need their system. That is because someone once told them that getting rich was easy, all they had to do was sell a system to enough people and the way to do it was to make outlandish claims. The bigger the lie, the more likely it is that some people will swallow it.
The problem is that the very people who buy the lousy systems are the most desperate and that is why they are clutching at straws and willing to try almost anything, no matter how sketchy it sounds. The truth is, if you are desperate for money, the last thing you should be doing is betting on horse races. I teach people how to handicap races and eke out a profit, if they can.
One of the first things I teach is that scared money never wins. If you have financial problems, you don't belong at the race track unless you work there. Sorry, I know that isn't what a lot of people want to hear, but it is the truth.
Secondly, if you do have the money to invest in trying to make a profit from betting on horses, then you better realize that it is difficult and involves work. I have been doing this a long time and never found easy money, and believe me, if I could I would. On the other hand, if you really love it and have the time and money for it, it can be challenging and rewarding. If you are someone who loves solving puzzles and fiddling with numbers, it may be right for you.
There are a lot of methods that work some times and as far as I know, nothing works all the time. If you start with several good systems that will help you to learn how to look at a race and dissect it or perhaps how to tell when horses are ready to win, then it will take you much less time to finally get into the profit zone.
I have several methods that work for me, but none of them is a gold mine or easy. I go by my feelings and decide how I will spend my day, or invest my time, if you will, depending upon how I feel. The tools I have took a lifetime to find and learn.
Here is the final bit of advice if you are serious about making money from betting on horse racing, never buy a system that doesn't offer a 100%, no questions asked, guarantee. If the person who is selling you a horse racing system believes in it enough to offer that kind of guarantee, then he or she must have a pretty good product.

Beware of the Anchor in Harness Racing Handicapping
By: Bill Peterson | 20/11/2009 | Horse RacingThere is a situation in harness racing that I look for, call it a spot play, since it is too simple to be a complete harness racing system. Post position is obviously of the utmost importance in harness racing, especially on half mile and five eighths mile tracks. The inside posts are usually the best because it is the shortest route to the rail and the finish line. A horse in an inside post that can get cover from another insider has a great chance to win in most cases.
