It doesn't take long for any one who is trying to make money betting on horse races to realize that you need some kind of system to organize the information and compare it so that you have a good picture of what the race will be like and what fair odds are on each horse. Horse racing handicapping systems help you to organize your thoughts and make good comparisons. Horse racing betting systems, on the other hand, help you to find good bets. There is a slight difference.
The one thing they have in common is that they help you with your thinking. Systems, as the name implies, are systematic and therefore, orderly and contain different factors that methodically applied will arrive at a conclusion.
The conclusion in a handicapping system is what each horse's chance of winning might be. In a betting system, the `conclusion is what fair odds on a horse should be. Can you think of any way to consistently and successfully doing that without a system? And yet, many people go to the race track every day without a system or a clue as to how they are going to make money from their bets.
The best system is the one that helps you to decide what each horse is worth in the odds pool and then finding one that is a good value. Which system will do that depends on several factors, the most important of which is you and your own personality. What kind of person are you and what do you want to do?
Are you a patient plodder who will take his or her time and wait for a good bet to come along, or do you want action in almost every race. The more action you want and crave, by the way, the harder it will be to show a long term profit.
Trying several systems and finding the one that will work best for you is probably your best bet. It takes time to go through systems and to use them and then decide whether you want to continue using them. One of the problems is that no system will give you instant success or long term profits without your own input and decision making. Some claim they will do that, but they won't.
But while you are trying systems, you will be picking up handicapping knowledge and that is a good thing. While an entire system may turn out to be something you don't want to stick with, you will usually learn at least on good and worthwhile thing from any good system and once you've learned those things, they're yours to incorporate into your handicapping.
As it turns out, trying different systems and picking those things you want to learn from each one may be the best system of all because when you are done, you'll have a very unique personalized system, made by and just for you.
