Horse racing systems have appeared practically since horse racing betting has become a widespread activity and a way for seasoned gamblers to make money. There are great debates on the subject of which ones work and which don’t, and my advice is to ultimately find out which ones work for you.

Most of the systems do not produce the estimated profits, and what’s even worse, they make your balance go down on the long term. This is because most of the people don’t have a real strategy. The position sizing strategy is what may be a good answer to this problem, a strategy which is applicable far beyond the sphere of horse racing only.

Position sizing is dividable into two basic forms: martingale and anti-martingale. Even though those two terms may seem alien in provenience, you would probably be surprised to find out that if you ever gambled, there is a big possibility that you used the martingale system. The martingale systems increases your bet size if you are losing, whilst the anti-martingale system is the opposite, meaning that it will increase your bet size if you are winning.

The martingale system is not very recommendable on the long term. Why? Let me give you an example. Let’s say you place a $1 bet on a specific horse which has 2.0 odds. The horse loses, and you place another bet, this time a $2 bet, on another horse, which also loses. You go on with your losing streak, and if you get to 10 losses, you have to place a $2000 to win your original dollar. It doesn’t sound very productive, does it?

The anti-martingale system is quite the opposite, and since it’s just that, it may just transform you into a person who profits from his horse betting. You will need to take a greater risk when you are on a winning streak, but this is exactly what makes long term profits: increasing your staked amount when you are winning, and decreasing it when you are losing. This is true in every field of activity, including stock market, trading, etc.

Depending on the risk you are willing to take, you can either decide to back or lay a specific horse using the anti-martingale system. The recommended risk must not exceed 1.5%, and this is what is going to ensure your long time stability and profit.

One thing is certain: horse betting is not for the faint hearted. You need to learn how much to bet, when to bet, what to bet on. Ultimately, you will have to develop your own strategies that will transform you into a constant winner. Closely monitoring your results and your finances is important, and applying the most effective of all the horse racing systems may be one of the most important things.
