Many people who want to make money from betting on horse racing, may already be capable of it with out knowing, others may just need a little fine tuning to make it possible.

As many of you already know, I supply between a 30-65% strike-rate on my categories;

MAXIMUMS, PRO-BETS & ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

First of all I would like to stress the need for a betting bank & a staking system.

If you place level stakes on your horses from the day you get paid, to the day your money runs out, you are probably increasing the bookies holiday fund!! The same happens if you bet randomly with random stakes, and if your part of the 'must have one last bet to get my money back' brigade!!

Having a betting bank & a staking system does one of a number of things;

It ensures you always have money to bet with, so you don't miss out on that 33/1 winner because your broke, when the day before you had £20 on a 1/3 loser!!

It ensures you make the most of higher priced winners, but do not have a fortune on them, as they win less often, hence the higher odds.

You always know how much the total loss is over a long-term if everything goes pear-shaped.

It help you realise were you are going wrong with your selections, if the bank decreases over the long-term.

If it is profitable, your stakes increase with the bank, and eventually allows you to deduct an income off it, when the bank is large enough. Remember, a withdrawal from your betting bank, is equivalent to a few losers, so you must ensure you only take out what you know you will recover.

Below is the way I bet, although I have put it to paper in easy terms. In time you will learn to make small adjustments to your benefit.

BETTING BANK + STAKING

This is an example; please adjust it proportionally to suit your own level of betting you feel most comfortable with. If you’re a bag of nerves before a race, then you have staked too much. This Betting Bank work for a start value of £50 upwards, so even if you do not work, you should be able to bet like a professional. But NEVER spend you bank, until profits are high enough, otherwise you will never see those £1000's that are possible, from strict betting.

INITIAL BETTING BANK - £100
STAKING:-
MAXIMUMS 10% of bank - £10
PRO-BETS 5% of bank - £5
ADDITIONAL INFO – You may use your own judgment with this information, but bet no more than 2%

NOTE: E/W bets are stakes halved. ADDITIONAL INFO can be staked higher, depending on your confidence in the horse, but never more than 5% of the INITIAL BANK.

All bets for this period are now £10/£5/£2+, they do not change as your betting bank increase or decreases. This adds stability to your betting, so you always know what you are doing.

The set stake that is to be placed on the horse, is then adjusted as per the staking system ' THE
SECURE PROFIT MAKER', outlined on the Staking System page of this site.

i.e.;

PRO-BET - STAKE = £5 ODDS 4/5 STAKE PLACED ON = £5 WINNINGS = £4
PRO-BET - STAKE = £5 ODDS 9/2 STAKE PLACED ON = £2.50 WINNINGS = £11.25

(Notice that you win more even though you staked less. This also helps on a losing run, as you do not lose as much as some one betting to level stake)

MAXIMUM - STAKE = £10 ODDS 5/4 STAKE PLACED ON = £9 WINNINGS = £11.25
ADD INFO - STAKE = £2 ODDS 1/1 STAKE PLACED ON = £2 WINNINGS = £2
ADD INFO - STAKE = £2 ODDS 4/1 STAKE PLACED ON = £1 WINNINGS = £4

Now for the main point on when to increase or decrease stake;

If your INITIAL BETTING BANK of £100 reaches £200+ then, and only then do you increase stakes.

INITIAL BETTING BANK HAS DOUBLED - £200
STAKING:-
MAXIMUMS 10% of bank - £20
PRO-BETS 5% of bank - £10
ADDITIONAL INFO 2% of bank - £4

The set stake that is to be placed on the horse, is then adjusted as per the staking system ' THE
SECURE PROFIT MAKER', outlined on the Staking System page of this site.

After that, repeat the same rule as above, every time your bank DOUBLES. This means your are never
betting out of your limits, and also helps you to get used to using bigger stakes.

i.e.;
INITIAL BETTING BANK HAS DOUBLED - £400
STAKING:-
MAXIMUMS 10% of bank - £40
PRO-BETS 5% of bank - £20
ADDITIONAL INFO 2% of bank - £8

The set stake that is to be placed on the horse, is then adjusted as per the staking system ' THE
SECURE PROFIT MAKER', outlined on the Staking System page of this site.

:::::

The opposite applies when you betting bank halves in value, this ensures a losing run is handled, and you should never lose your initial bank. If you do, sit back and take a close look at your selection process.

INITIAL BETTING BANK HAS HALVED - £50
STAKING:-
MAXIMUMS 10% of bank - £5
PRO-BETS 5% of bank - £2.50
ADDITIONAL INFO 2% of bank - £1

You continue with this till the day you pass on to the Nether World!! You obviously have to put a cap on what your MAXIMUM BETTING WILL be if your ever lucky enough to reach it, otherwise stakes will get out of hand. Also when you put a cap on the bank, anything over that at the end of each month is yours to spend freely.

WITHDRAWALS;
You should not really with draw from you betting bank until you have at least £1000, and never take more than the equivalent of 2 MAXIMUM bets, preferably less. Remember, the less you take out at the beginning, the quicker your bank will grow, the sooner you can make a reasonable withdrawal. Only withdraw once every time your betting bank has doubled.

With this system there are no worries of a losing run. You should always have the money to bet with.

There is no problem with adjusting the above to suit you needs, as long as the basic rules are in place.

I personally run 3 separate BETTING BANKS for the 3 different categories I use. This ensures that the high strike rate of my MAXIMUMS is benefited from.

If you ever get the urge for a fun/multiple/stupid bet!!! Pay for it out of your own pocket, not the bank, and put a minimum stake on it. Try not to do this though, although even I do it occasionally, I'm human, not perfect!!

Make sure you use your own selections, DO NOT rely on mine alone, otherwise you will never learn how to adjust stakes to suit your own style, or change your selection process. I won't be here for ever, one day I must return to my home planet.........but that's another story............Good Luck.

Another reason for not following the Additional Information blind is that you do not know if I will be backing them, although I do have an interest in most, and I do not know what I will be investing until before the race, and I have had time to verify the information I have. However, this category often dips below a 40% strike rate, and so you should easily be able to profit from them.

Also, as my success is based mostly on non-handicap races, I half my stakes on any handicap runners. Although you must stick to the main rules, you will have to be a little flexible. When & why, you will learn as you go. Do not expect massive profits, your first years, will be learning to adjust to your own preferred method.

I wish you luck, and hope this site helps you on your way to greater returns than you have had in the past. Please post any questions on the FORUM. That way we can all help each other.

NOTE: The above is a simple example of how to bet. You will need to adjust this to suit your own style.

The Additional Information is just that, and I would recommend being selective with them, but back all Pro-Bets, and MAXIMUMS.
