Horseracing - Horse Racing

The art of trying to guess or figure out what will happen during a race and who will finish the race in front is often referred to as handicapping. Picking a horse is not very scientific and can be a lot of fun. You can pick a horse because you like its name, number, the way it looks, the colors of the jockey's or driver's silks or take the advice of the on-track handicapper. Bet on your license plate number, phone number or birthday... it's just that easy. In addition to the program, novice race enthusiasts can pick up a Tip Sheet. The Tip Sheet is usually inexpensive and provides experts opinion on who they think is going to win.

Statistically, approximately one in three races are won by the favorite. This is the horse on which the crowd bets the most money. By simply betting on favorites, you increase your odds of picking winners. With this easy method, you may come out on top a couple races over the course of an evening, but if you want to really Get To Know The Horses, you need to know more about handicapping.
