Hi
Why use Horse
Racing Ratings?
(read this article on our website Why use Horse Racing Ratings? - One Stop Racing)
This is an excellent question. With so much free commentary and data available on horses, why should you consider using additional form ratings?
The simplest way to answer this is to try making your selections with race ratings for a month, and then attempt to make them without any assistance afterward. Most people find that once they start using horse race ratings to enhance their betting selections, they can’t imagine betting without them.
It’s important to understand that race ratings can’t work miracles or predict the winner of every
race with complete accuracy. If they could, bookmakers would quickly go out of business.
However, this doesn’t mean that using ratings is pointless—far from it! Here’s why:
Over the years, through my interactions with successful bettors and my own experiences with winning bets, I’ve discovered that the key commonality is thorough research and a significant investment of time
in identifying the best selections to bet on.
This naturally leads us to the topic of ratings and their potential to enhance your betting experience and improve your success rate.
Time, or the lack thereof, is a major factor in most people’s lives today, and it’s no different for the average punter.
This is where
ratings come into play—they are an excellent tool for quickly spotting trends and patterns, allowing you to narrow down your selections using specific criteria. This way, you can focus on horses that have a better chance of winning. After creating a shortlist, you can further investigate and cross-reference with other sources (e.g., reading comments about the horse’s last performance, understanding why it performed that way, or identifying any particular reasons it doesn’t do well at certain
courses or conditions) to make your final decision on which horse(s) to back.
This narrowing-down process is crucial in ensuring you only select horses that you genuinely believe have the best chance of winning.
Ratings can also help you eliminate horses that, although the data looks good on paper, when you look into the horse further you can see that actually the data is that way for a reason and it
has no chance of winning the particular race you happen to be looking at.
Ratings can help you avoid betting because you like the name of the horse and all those other good/sentimental reasons (or not) we use to choose our selections. When you bet using ratings then you know you have done your research and in as many ways as possible confirmed why, of all the horses in the race, the horse you have selected could actually win it.
Ratings can also help you eliminate horses that, although the data looks promising on paper, further investigation reveals that the data is misleading and the horse has no chance of winning the particular race you’re considering.
Ratings can prevent you from betting based on sentimental reasons, such as liking the horse’s name. When you bet using ratings, you know you’ve done your research and confirmed, in as many
ways as possible, why the horse you’ve selected has a genuine chance of winning.
You’re no longer relying on hunches or hearsay from well-meaning folks on social media. Instead, you’re backing your bets with all the accurate and factual information available about the horse. Betting with as much accurate and factual information as possible can only lead to greater success in the long run.
Considering
there can be anywhere from 3 to 8 race meetings most days and over 500 horses running on a busy Saturday, it becomes clear how challenging it can be to decide where to start when choosing horses to bet on. This is where ratings truly shine.
Without ratings, you could spend hours reading comments from racing news and bookies’ pages about the horses running, only to feel overwhelmed by the choices. Ratings help streamline this process by
quickly highlighting key information, so you only need to focus on the races and horses that the data points to. In the long run, this saves you both time and, more importantly, money by preventing random bets and ensuring you only bet on horses with the best chances of winning.
Remember, there is no such thing as a sure bet (there really isn’t), so it’s always about improving your chances to be profitable in the long term, and that’s
exactly what horse race ratings can help you achieve.
