Things To Consider Before Bidding In The Paddock Room

By Paul Cox


Horses are such elegant creatures. Whether you lean on to hobbies like horse back riding or watching horse races, there is just a certain elegance and thrill watching them run freely. The sport has been around for so long. This is why there is a need to keep these creatures safes and well taken care of.

These animals are usually kept in a stall or a fenced area. The paddock room has a lot of attached meaning to it. Back in world war two this used to be the code name for war room in London where Winston Churchill met with his officials, at least twice the whole duration of WW2. In the case of this article, it is a place where horseplayers would put their wagers on the winning bid.

The art of handicapping a race is not as simple as throwing darts on a picture of horses and numbers. Although, that is one way placing an unintelligent bet. The fun part of these races is how people look at the patterns and factors that can get an entry to win. To people who wager in these sporting events, they have studied it enough to develop their own way of analyzing a bet.

A national newspaper for racing gets published everyday called the Daily Racing Form. While there are techniques to reading this paper there are also many other things to consider. The success of the results may be based on how often the horse is being raced, the jockey that rides them, the trainer and past injuries.

A player can bet on more than one entry depending on which kind of bet he is playing for. There are bets called the trifecta and superfecta which can be bracketed under the more complex forms of horse race gambling. There are also safer types like show and place that do not require as much analysis considering that their rewards are not as high.

The goal is to get top 3 entries at most. This is what handicapping is for. It singles out only the essential parts of considering a horse. As long as you have lowered your number of possible recipient of the wager, then you are more likely to win a round or two. Those who are experienced in the field already know which ones to include and which ones to drop based on the reports from the DRF.

Having a winning horse is a matter of breeding and training. Many of the literature for this sport state that there are a set of factors to consider. There are the number of consecutive wins and placements of the entries. Even the surface of the platform is taken into account. These surfaces are either dirt, grass or synthetic.

Players consider so many things which also include who trains the horses and who rides them. Winning percentages come into play for both people too and not just the horse. Some may even have a tally board for all the factors that they might find necessary to find the right bet. If you have this chart of things that determine the horse that is most likely to win, based on carefully calculated factors, then pick the horse with the most check marks.

The art of betting in this sport is very strategical and that is what makes it enjoyable. The beauty in gambling is not in the winning but the betting in itself. The thrill and the risk is what keeps these horseplayers going. Maybe it is the resemblance of the illusion of control that one may feel when trying to predict the outcome of something that can seem totally random.
