Hi! I've been reading up alot on Pre-race horse trading and trading sports in general, and it caught my interest bigtime. I'm planning on profiting consistently on pre-race horse trading at the end of the year. I also noticed this forum is very helpful and I would like to ask some questions in hope for a response.

I don't quite understand how Weight of money works. I understand it's the percentage shown at the top of the ladder-interface, but not alot more than that. How can I judge by WOM if the market/price will go up or down?

And in general, how can I judge whitch way the market is about to go? When it's about to stop, and turn the other way?

I tried trading some today, lowest stakes. I profited on about 60% of todays races. However, I feel I'm mostly guessing. I'm laying on a horse, and then just hoping the price will go up so I can back it higher.


I'm having a hard time understanding how I will learn reading the market. What are the most useful tools in Bet Angel? How are they used? I'm just staring at a single ladder at the moment hoping I'm guessing right on movements, I'm pretty sure this isn't the way to learn.

Thanks for any tips you have!

I'm thankful for any advice!

All the features in Bet Angel were created from the bottom up for very specific reasons. We didn't copy them or think it was a neat marketing idea, so I'd urge to you have a good look at all of them and explore each.
