Thank you so much for this informative article. Ive been wondering for sometime now how all this works. I feel more confident after reading this. I may have a better chance of winning than playing the lottery. Wish me luck!

I am going to the Kentucky Derby for the first time tomorrow! I am so freaking excited, I moved to Louisvile 3 years ago and was astounded by the shear volume of people that attend this track every year. I have wanted to go ever since I moved here but always felt a little awkward about going since all of my friends grew up here and know the in’s and out’s of laying a good bet! This year I accepted their offer of free tickets to the 139th Derby and now with this great new knowledge I plan to place my first horse bets ever, I hope I win!!! Thanks for the great advice!!!

Very sound advice there. Applies equally in UK.

One other pointer: if you’ve spent a lot of time studying form, and your girl/her mum has picked a horse on the name or the pink silks, brace yourself for the inevitable…

Just ask who the creepy guy who hangs out at the track all day likes to win. He’s usually right on the money…

Awesome article!
Too bad that here in CA only satellite wagering is legal (so no human tellers), and at least where I’m at, we only have races during the county fair, for maybe 3-4 days – and that requires 1) a rather pricey ticket to the fair itself, 2) trodding across the entire fairgrounds, 4) catching those few hours when the horses do run, and 3) hopefully not catching a “blackout” day. Oh, and expensive food and frisking at the entrance.
On the positive side – turkey legs and $1 or less wagers.

How I wish I lived nearer to “real” racing…

Does anyone have recommendations for or against Charles Town Races in WV? I’ve been meaning to go but have no idea if it’s worth the trip. (All the online reviews I’ve seen are either 1 star or 5 stars.)
