Today's Horse Racing
You won't!
If we all knew which way a horse is going to go, we'd all be millionaires. You just have to use your judgement and make a percentage call and get out before your losses get heavy. There will be times when you cut your losses only to find that the price does a u-turn but that's the price you have to pay for not blowing your bank.
The best thing to do is use smaller stakes for low-grade volitile markets and this at least gives you more leeway to react to price volatility.
Highly risky. I know it can and does happen but I don't believe it's commonplace. Betting against your own horse, even if it's small and insignificant, can result in losing your licence.Korattt wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2017 11:05 amdepends on the day I suppose

Despite what you think about the shady world of horse racing, the authorities do more than you imagine to identify unusual betting patterns. As Derek says, it's a big risk for a stable to do such things just to earn a few thousand pounds. It certain wouldn't be a regular thing, even for a small struggling stable. What you're describing is so well know, probably dating back to the 1700's, that it would be spotted very easily.
Without betting there wouldn't be horse racing so this an area that's scrutinised more than any other. Big drifts aren't really driven from the yard, it's more usually a rumour, true or otherwise, that ripples through the punters. Or the opposite, strong money for another runner, again often purely speculation which inevitably causes 'your' horse to drift.
Remember everyone is working from the same info so if that info points one way, you''ll have 10,000 tenners in betting shops up and down the country on a horse, and that's going to have an effect.

250k on the market, 10% of it on the fav is a good rule of thumb.
Mon & Tues are traditionally weaker but with weakness comes momentum so you takes your pick really.
