Horse Racing System: Midas Method System 2.0 Review

One thing that annoys me about sales pages is showing pictures of expensive posh cars. If the product in question produces profits then it is likely to take a few years to make enough money to be able to withdraw the tens of thousands for such a car. More likely the average punter will be starting with a betting bank of £50-£200 and so after 5+ years will they possibly be profiting enough to spend some of it. However the more you withdraw from your betting bank the slower your bank will grow unless you have already hit your maximum stake.

Saying all that, while doing this Midas Method 2.0 Review it was clear that with a small betting bank you could build up profits in a steady manner.

The system itself is relatively easy to follow. As with all horse racing systems it can take a week or two before you are up to speed with it.

So is the Midas Method System profitable. Based on my own research and information from trusted independent sources profits can reach 50% of your betting bank every 3 months, however please remember, no matter what horse racing system you use you will always have losing runs, and it is the ability to handle them that can make a system profitable or not. Stick to the rules, and you should profit long term.

The bonus with the Midas Method is you also get tips via email, these are not the system qualifiers though, and if you do not have the time for the system itself, you can just follow the email tips as over the month I tested them I made 12 points profit.

So how much does this cost? Well presently if you just want the system it is £29, if you want the email service as well, which I highly recommend, this is £97 a year. That’s just £8 a month and is a bargain for the potential of the tips. In fact I could see the email tips outperforming the actual system long term.

How Many Favourites Win Horse Races In The UK?

The answer to the question “How Many Favourites Win Horse Races In The UK?” is something everyone one should know who bets on horses as it is probably the best variable for targetting potential winners. So what is the answer?

The figures below clearly show that of all the horse racing favourites over the last 5 years just under 32% won, this includes turf, NH and AW. That is pretty decent, but then when you look at the losses you would have had with a normal bookmaker to £1 stakes your eyes may pop out!!!

Runners Wins SR P/L Exchange ROI Exchange P/L to SP Lay P/L BF
62079 19672 31.69 -2003.34 -3.23 -4850.76 -1996.08

Even losses with an exchange look pretty daunting, although nowhere near as bad as with a bookmaker. Losses if you laid all the favourites are huge as well.

This leads us to two other questions, and also one way of easily targetting more winners:
How Many Favourites Win Handicaps In The UK?
How Many Favourites Win Non-Handicaps In The UK?

Type Runners Wins SR P/L Exchange
 P/L to SP Lay P/L Exchange
HANDICAP 35051 9000 25.68 -1184.32 -3122.59 -1270.7
NON HANDICAP 27028 10672 39.48 -818.72 -1728.17 -725.09

Now we see something not a lot of people in High Street bookmakers are aware of. The fact that out of all the Favourites that run in non-handicap races, nearly 40% win!!

The picture gets a bit mudddied when I tell you that both sets have a negative exchange ROI of 3%. So in reality although the SR’s of both are far apart, they actually both produce the same losses, and this is because non-handicap favourites start at lower prices.

Let us concentrate soley on the non-handicap winners from here on, and we will split the stats into turf,NH and AW and see if anything stands out.

Race Type Runners Wins SR P/L Exchange P/L to SP Lay P/L Exc
A/W 4754 1905 40.07 -111.35 -297.93 -159.89
Chase 3574 1498 41.91 -103.28 -212.9 -91.93
Hurdle 6652 2764 41.55 -206.54 -382.1 -159.25
NHF 1178 392 33.28 -115.69 -161.65 44.9
Turf 9531 3626 38.04 -249.91 -582.95 -309.31

Well the one thing that stands out here is that you need to be extremely careful when getting involved with National Hunt Flat races (NHF). The other 4 categories are fine, but as chase and hurdle races shower a higher edge we will dig a little deeper into individual race types. The reason for additional edge with jump racing Favourites is that the form is more reliable with most horses running year after year.

In order to make use of the above table you need to target those races that are either showing a profit already, and remember these are based on favourites (including joint), non-handicap races over jumps. You also want to pay close attention to any showing a small loss with less than -2% ROI, as a bit of targetting on your part should easily turn them into profits.

Using the information here you should have no problem putting together a profitable horse racing system.
