To have a horse betting strategy means to know what you’re going to do before you wager. This usually takes in several things. (1) what bets to play and only those bets. (2) how much each bet shall cost – exactly, far beforehand. (3) how to determine what horses are the better horses to choose and which to eliminate. (4) what’s the potential profit or Return On Investment (ROI) and how to determine that. (5) how to take racing sensibly as a job, career or a long-term source of making money. (6) what financial goals are to be reached overall ($100,000 or $2,000,000). With picking horses you need to be a good Handicapper and with making money you need to be a good Profitcapper.
