A Profitable Day At The Track: 5 Tips For Betting On Horses

3. The Difference Between Turf and Dirt

This is one tip we have that can often pay dividends if you properly research the horses in each race. Most horses are either great at running on dirt or on turf, but not both. If you see a horse perform badly on one of these surfaces, the odds are they will perform well on the other and vice versa. You can check results of previous races on these surfaces and moreover it can be used as a process of elimination when selecting horses. It’s all about trying to get the odds as much in your favor as possible, and by being able to eliminate certain horses from contention before the race even begins, you’re doing just that. Knowing this difference and applying it is one of our best tips for betting on horses.
