Know when to bet and when to avoid a bet., 18 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Manual of Racing and Betting (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to beat their fellow punters on a regular basis. It clearly demonstrates which horses you should be backing in Handicaps and non-Handicaps for both Flat (not AW) and National Hunt codes.
There are worked examples of the systems and full explanations of where you can gain an edge - and profit!
This book will not turn you into a pro overnight, but it will put you on the right track.
For the casual backer there are a dozen or so systems, simple to operate and understand, with a view to at least holding onto your money.
There is also stated the golden truth that specialisation pays, and areas where a more focused approach will prove very profitable are clearly highlighted.
Overall, and superb book for novices and champions alike.

I have made more than 100 times the cost of the book, 20 Jan 2004

I borrowed this book from the library and loved it so much that bought a copy myself! It has paid for itself more than 100 times over. I strongly urge anyone new to this game to buy it and keep a copy by your side.

What a Leveller - at last a 'plain english' racing book, 14 Jan 2004
This review is from: The Complete Manual of Racing and Betting (Paperback)
This book has an excellent grounding in racing and helps the reader understand the essentials of horse racing, from form to how the bookie makes his book. It contains a lot of excellent systems in their own right, but i found the systems came into there own if you were to manipulate to your own style of gambling. An excellent book which will have you questioning your own betting habits and is definately an odds on winner.
