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."

Few things in life spark the imagination more than winning real cash. It brings a gleam to almost every eye, but the lure of easy profit has cost many a fortune and ruined some lives. So if you are thinking of winning money at the horse races, take a few tips from someone who has been down that road.
The problem with the race track is that it appears that there is easy money to be made there. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Upon closer examination you will find some people working very hard there just to make a living. The people who care for the horses, train them and ride them, are hard working and earn every dollar they get. Their wages come from the owners who get some money from purses that they win, but the truth is, very few horse owners earn enough off purses to pay for their expensive hobby.
So where will the easy money come from? Ah, from the other gamblers, you say. Well those gamblers may be just like you, a hard working man or woman who is trying to make some easy cash while having some fun. But not all the people who are betting on the races are just casual gamblers. Some people take it very seriously and work very hard at it. They may earn part or even all of their living from handicapping, but that is the key word, isn't it, they "earn" that money.
If you realize you are up against professional gamblers who have a real good system and yet still have to work to earn a living, then you'll soon realize that there are two ways that you are going to win money at the horse races. The first way is just plain old luck. If you are lucky then you'll go home with your pockets filled with easy money, but who can depend on luck?
The second way is that you can fight fire with fire and use a system of your own. But while you are using the system you best be warned that you will probably have to do some work. How strong is your desire to win? How hard are you willing to work? Trying to depend upon luck can drive you crazy, so I suggest you use a system if you really want to make a profit, but do it with your eyes open and realize that there are no guarantees and you will still have to work to make that money.
So the first tip is, don't expect easy money from luck, but when it happens, enjoy it, thank your lucky stars, and put a little aside for the times when luck is in someone else's pocket.
The second tip is that if you want to make money at the horse track, plan on doing some work and plan on using a system so that the work is not in vain.

When to Bet on the Favorite in a Horse Race
By: Bill Peterson | 17/12/2009The favorite in a horse race is the horse with the most money wagered on it to win, therefore, the horse with the lowest odds.

If you just want the thrill of watching a horse that you have bet on win a race, then betting the favorite in each race is probably what you should do. On the other hand, that thrill will cost you money over the long run because, though they win often, the favorite is usually a bad bet.

Horse Racing Handicapping Tip Number 1 for Understanding Jockey Changes
By: Bill Peterson | 11/12/2009 | Horse RacingWhen there is a jockey change in horse racing, it can be hard to know whether it will have a positive or negative effect on the horse's performance. The problem is that you, as the handicapper, don't have the inside information on the horse. For instance, maybe this particular jockey, even though he or she has a low percentage, is actually the rider who has been exercising the horse in the morning and has gotten a good grip on the animal and they are well suited to each other.
