Things To Consider Before Bidding In The Paddock Room

By Paul Cox


Racing and gambling have been around for very long. All of those sporting events have always involved a horse, one way or another. Horse racing has its own economy and it is no wonder why. Keeping these animals in top shape is of highest priority for these owners considering how expensive a good horse can cost.

The horses are usually housed in a fenced pasture. The paddock room in the sporting sense is a place where people pub cafe in Santa Anita park where these bidders go to and handicap the races that they see. Although on a totally different note, this was the code name for a war room used by Churchill for the WW2.

They call analyzing the possible outcome of the game as handicapping. There are also least effective methods like randomly punching holes on a piece of cardboard, but you do this if you do not bother losing or winning. There are patterns relating between different games and races that may help determine how likely a horse can win.

The Daily Racing Form, or DRF, is a printed document released day and night that show the statistics and results of a race. This is used by many horseplayers as important reference in analyzing their wagers. Many things come into play when deciding which entries to bet on.

This type of gambling, while it is legal there are still some types of bets that are not allowed in some states. Bet types range from the number of entries you bet on and the winnings depend if they place first, second or third. They can range from good bets to lottery like betting.

Handicapping is analyzing which entries are least likely to place and just crushing them out from the options. The lesser entries you have, with the best stats, the closer you are to winning. Many high stakes horseplayers know exactly which ones to immediately crush out and which ones to consider for their top three.

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.

The percentage of how often the jockeys and trainers win per year have to be equal or more than 20 percent for the horse to be considered as a candidate. Many gamblers and enthusiasts have a chart that tallies the factors they consider as very important and puts a check mark on those bets if they apply. The ones with the most qualified factors are obviously placed as a bet.

There is a certain allure to gambling that cannot be found in any other activity. While most might think it is in the winning that the excitement comes from, it actually is in the possibility of and the illusion that you just might win from analyzing you bets through handicapping. Maybe the whole process is an allusion to how people can be obsessed with trying to control situations that will definitely have random outcomes.
