HOW TO BET IN FRENCH HORSE RACING
A system which takes decision without emotion !

There will be a lot of information to read ! We hardly recommand you
to save this page to read it quietly afterwards !

1. Overview

    We don't know what is the rules for US racings, nor GB, Belgium racings...
    French Racing has the particularity to be an institution organized by a whole country, leading by government ! They move billions every week and Government pockets a cumfortable part in this matter, it is why:

    BETTING in FRENCH HORSE RACINGS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL !
    YOU HAVEN'T ANY TAX, NOR ANYTHING TO OWE TO ANYBODY !

    In Forex (and many others matters), you must declare your gains... and pay taxes ! In French Horse Racing, the tax is already taken, before to pay you !

2. THE PMU

3. THE FRENCH BETTING RULES

    Visit the site https://www.mrbookmaker.com, but before to go further let's see what are different in French Horse Betting...

    You must know that there are usually 2 events everyday ! And 6 "working" days a week ! (sometime, but very rare, 3 events in the same day...).
    Why ? Because there are many type of races : "TROT", "GALOP" and "STEEPLE", which need, of course, different types of "ground" !
    Each event proposes 7 to 10 races. Attention ! The events start usually at 13H (french time, GMT+1)... But it also happens that there is an event at "normal time" and the other one at night ! Check the time !
    You can bet in any race !

    To resume we could say, if you guess among the competitors, the first five horses at arriving, you can win, different prices, as related here-under:

    1. The "first winner", this bet mode is called : "win" at MrBookmaker.com.
      I.e you bet "5", and arrival is : 5.3.7.6.1... YOU WIN !
      But if arrival is 3.5.7.6.1... YOU LOST ! The "5" is still in the "head group", but not "First winner" !

    2. A horse among the 3 first ones, bet mode called: "placed"
      I.e. you bet "5", and arrival is whatever 5.3.7.6.1, or 3.5.7.6.1 or 3.7.5.6.1, you still win ! Your choice is among the 3 first ones !

    3. A couple of 2 horses, among the 3 first ones, bet mode called: "dual forecast"
      There are 2 dual-betting modes, of course, paid differently,

      • What is called a "WINNING DUAL BETTING": the 2 chosen horses must be the 1st and the 2nd (no matter the order)!
        I.e. You play 2x5 (Attention, 2x5 is the notation adopted officially, means "DUAL 2 and 5" and surely not "2 multiplied by 5 !)... You win if arrival is either: 5.2.7.6.1 or 2.5.7.6.1. But NOT 2.4.5.6.1 !

      • or a "PLACED DUAL BETTING", which only needs that your 2 chosen horses are among the 3 first ones ! Whatever the order they could arrive...

    4. Then come others betting modes... But we deliver as "informations only"... If you are french, we think you should know them... If not, we don't advice you to "break your head" with that !
      One could win millions... But it is for foolish people who bet their birth dates, or their car numbers... Not for "serious workers" as we want to be !

      Everyday, the official PMU chooses 1 race among the events, to be the "king race" of the day ! On it, we can have much more betting modes ! For instance:

    5. You could guess the 3 first ones (called a trio, "Tierce"), in the exact order or any order...
    6. 2 among the 4 first ones.
    7. To guess the 4 first ones to have the "quartι" (in the exact order or not)
    8. To guess the 5 first ones to have the "quintι"... to win millions ! (in the exact order or not)
    9. "Report ticket", means report your gain (full or part only) from one race to another race...
    10. Multi, Bonus 3, bonus 4, etc, etc...

      This race often comes along with these logos: , to be recognized easily.

      Once more, we advice you to stay only in the first 3 modes (in red above), which are preferred by "professionals gamblers", because serious calculation can be made on them... Others types are for "luckily foolish gamblers" !

      Also, the site MrBookmaker.com only accepts "Simple and Dual bettings" (means the modes we were talking about... So, the question is over...)!
      ( Others modes are usable on PMU.fr site ,or... if you live in France !)

    YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT THERE ARE EVENTS 6/7 DAYS
    (Except monday) AND SOONLY 7/7 !
    Which is more attractive than FOREX !!!
    As, it will be possible to earn money each day you are living !

4. The horsing institution in France... (A long love-story which has lasted 50 years...)

    How can we win ? Which horse to choose ?

    Compare to Forex, where people try to show up a "professional area of skillful workers, working in a very closed institution"... B****S****In reality, they are only GAMBLERS !!!
    And lot of them are amateurs (liars) trying to place themselves higher than they are able to be ... (In french we say : "to prout higher than his ass !")
    Then, trading companies have risen... They don't trade ... but sell informations ! They promise to send you "Entry Signal Alerts" ??? Are they GODS to guess in which way the market can move ?
    And how much do they sell their "mysterious" science ?
    (Average of 250$ to 1000$ a month !!!)

    Conversely, a horse is a machine ! A good horse or a bad horse, cannot change ! (except if it is injuried !)
    Strong - Weak, are characters WE CAN SEE !
    You can guess when a strong sportive foot-ball team will win, right ?

    And don't forget that a team is composed of humans ! They have sentiments (they can think, talk, cheat, lie, etc...), NEVER a horse !
    If a horse cannot win, it is because... there is, in the same race, another horse better than it !"
    NO OTHER REASON !
    So, a good horse (know for that)... has 90% chance to "arrive" among the first 3 places !
    This will lead us to this extraordinary FRENCH HORSING INSTITUTION...

    Each french newspapers has its horsing rubric ! They pay journalists to only work in this matter.
    Many publishers are specialized only in Horse betting ! Imagine 200m2 of computers, hundreds people buzy to only envisage which will be the next winner...
    A database of some 80 000 horses ! They record everything, origines, its first puncture, its sickness, its love, etc, etc... Nothing could be missed !
    When, after overheating their brain (and computer), they deliver the tomorrow winner, you could be sure that it will be there at 80% !
    (Don't forget, if you bet "PLACED", you will have 3 chances to win !!!)

    And when 10 different publishers show the same horse... You would be fool not to believe it !!!

    EXPERIENCE SAYS THAT THEIR FORECAST ARE RIGHT AT 80%
    (And it doesn't cost you a penny... If you live in France)
    Can FOREX offer you such a promise ?

5. GAIN EXPECTATION (Please read carefully)

    It is not like casino, where you can expect a fixed gain... Horse Racing, like others sportive bets, are subject to "the numbers of players"...
    Means, after the deductions (government taxes, organization fees, ...) the money is "intelligently" shared between the winners ! Each horse has a "quotation", calculated according to numbers of bet on and against it ! Normaly, this calculation could only be done... after the race, right ?
    But with experience and special tools, the betting organism can guess them, very closely, and the estimations are displayed for your expectations !

    On the site MrBoomaker.com, it is the number recorded in the column: "forecast betting", i.e. "9". Sometime, you could see 9/1, means if you bet 1, you are expecting to have 9, if the horse arrives... at "FIRST PLACE" !
    (The site MrBookmaker shows them at about 12AM GMT. But you could have them sooner in the official sites named below.)

    Attention, now you need to understand these rules, very deeply !
    (It is perhaps the same thing in your country, perhaps not...)
    For each horse, there is calculation to define the estimate gain... if it wins ! We already told it...
    All right ! Thus, the figures will be displayed...

    But if it could be, perhaps, easier somewhere else, in France there are so many types of betting, that if one decides to display the quotation for each type of betting, the reader will be quickly confused !

    Thus, they only display, the winner quotation, (remember ? The gain if the horse arrives at FIRST PLACE !).
    And if you have bet "PLACED" ? What about Dual betting ? ? ?
    You have to guess it by your own... And only pratice can answers...
    OK ?

    We often recommend you to bet "Placed", how can one guess what will be the expected gain distributed ?
    With experience one can say that:
    - PLACED "quotation" is a bit less than the half of the "WIN" quotation displayed...
    - DUAL BETTING "quotation" is about 'the sum of the 2 horses' concerned quotations...

    Let's see an example, and we remind you that "serious people work with serious expectations" ! When a professional gives you a forecast, he will obviously show "good horses" ! (If not, he has to change job very soonly).
    And, if the horses are good enough... Don't dream, 15 millions of French people will bet on them ! So the "quotation" of thoses horses will often stay in a "reasonable and low fork" ! OK ?
    Let's say you receive a forecast 1-2 // 3-4-5-6
    The "estimated quotation" often follows this expectation:
    - The first horse is usally recorded at "3/1". (So, the half is about 1.5/1 if you have bet it PLACED)
    - The second horse is usually between 4 to 5/1 (half would be 2 ? 2.5/1 ?)
    - Then come "outsiders" at 5 to 8/1...
    - And serious people stop there !

    So, what about DUAL BETTING ?
    I.e. if you have bet "WINNING DUAL BETTING" of 1 and 3, gain would be (3/1 + 5/1) about 8/1 ?
    And PLACED DUAL BETTING would be 4 or 5/1 ?

6. SIMPLE BETTING MODE at "MrBookmaker.com"

    Now, you have understood the "quotation", see how "a serious person works" !
    Lot of magazines, will show you the forecast in this order: 1.2.3.4.5.6...

    • Normally, the first one is very, very favourite ! If you bet on it, you have more chance to win... But you will earn less money ! And proportionnally so on...
    • Betting "FIRST WINNER" mode, is more risky ! (and of course, select the 1st horse of the list... if not you are more foolish than we have imagined !).
      - Experience says that they are oftenly at 3/1
      Thus, if you bet and win, you would receive i.e. 3€ for 1€ betting !
      - Betting the "first horse of the list" in the "FIRST WINNER" mode is successful at about 35% ! (You earn less often but earn more, everytime !)

      Many magazines announces their performances ... in a certain way to understand !
      Let's see an example of calculation :
      - If you have decided to always bet i.e. the 1st horse of the list and have bet 10 times at 1€, you would have spent 10€ ! OK ?
      - Then if they announce that you would win 35%... Then, on these 10 betttings, you would have winned, 3 or 4 times ! OK ?
      - If the expected gain is about 3/1, everytime... you could earn (let's round: 3€x4 times) 12€, OK ?
      - Thus, the announce would be : "Our forecast will give you the winner, more than 35% at arrival, with a gain expectation of 120% !" (10 bettings = 10€ ! Gain 12€ ...)

      So, imagine 2 announces: "the winner will be 60% at arrival, with a gain expectation of 110%" and "The winner will be 20% at arrival, with a gain expectation of 160% !"
      Which one is better, which one to choose... We hope you understand that the "gain" is not only the most important ! There also is: "do you have got enough money to survive till the next gain ?"
      The second announce could be better to pocket, but don't forget that on 10 bettings, you risk to lost... 8 times (20% winning). If you bet at 100€, you could have 800€ out of pocket, before to win ! (a bigger income, of course)

      We hope you have understood how was built this kind of announces (from now on, you will see them very often !)

    • Betting "PLACED" is what we recommend !
      - If you choose the first horse of the list, quoted at about 3/1, (At the "place", the gain is about the half of the "quotation", remember ?). Thus, you could expect 1.5 € for 1€ betting !
      And experiences say that you would be successful at 75% !!! Do calculation !
      Remember ? They would announce: "The horse at arrival more than 70%, with a gain expectation of 110% !"
      Means the horse is very, very favourite !

      - But some people find it is not enough profitable ! They'd like to choose the second horse of the list, quoted often at 4 or 5/1, you could expect 2€ for 1€ bet ! The susccess is at 60% !
      This could be compared to casino or Forex, where the gain is doubled !
      Many people prefer to select the 2nd horse (even the 3rd one) in this betting mode !

      They would announce: "The horse at arrival more than 60%, with a gain expectation of 120% !"

      So, if you have to choose ? Forex, Casino... Or horse betting ?
      60% successful ? 200% of your bet ?
      Why are you still "trading forex" ?

      From the 4th horse and further... are considered as "outsiders" !
      The percentage of success "AT THE PLACE" is about 20/30% ! But the gain could be 6 to 10€ for 1€ betting !
      But very few people play them in "SIMPLE BETTING" mode. They are shown only to be "married" with first horses in DUAL BETTING mode, which is detailled in next chapter.

7. BETTING IN DUAL MODE (not recommended for beginners)

    If "earn too slow" bores you, or you like calculation, you can try "dual Betting" !

    There is no major difficulty to learn the method... The difficulty is to guess the gain comparing to the amount you want to invest...

    Let's see an example !
    - You are given : 1.2 // 3.4.5.6
    - If you bet le first horse : "1", in the "simple mode" as explained above, you would earn (if it arrives), for instance 3€ for 1€ betting ! OK ?
    It is nice ! But remember the announce above ? Gain expectation at 120% ? Is it enough for you ?

    - But you'd like to earn more... And you also expect that the "2" will be among the 3 first arrivals... Then, you bet a dual-betting (but wisely you have chosen a "placed dual-betting" ! Remember what it is ? If not, read again explanations at chapter3)
    - The cost is, of course, the same, thus you pay 1€ to bet the "DUAL 1x2" (Caution ! "1x2" is the official notation to show a dual betting : 1 AND 2)
    (If the arrival is 7.2.1.5.9 or 2.7.1.5.9 or 1.2.7.5.9... you win ! But how much ?)

    - Let's see more difficult...
    To "take some more protection", you also want to "marry" the favourite with some other ones...
    Let's say, you want to also bet a "dual 1x3", and why not, another "dual 1x4"
    So, you have bet 3 duals: "1x2", "1x3", 1x4", and paid 3 x 1€ = 3€ ! OK ?

    Fortunately, you were wise ! You have winned !
    The arrival has been 3,5,1,7,2 ! One of your duals (1x3) has 2 horses among the 3 first arrivings !
    Is the example clear enough ?

    You note that MrBookmaker displays a way for you to bet simplerly ! For the above example, in the first column, you would select "1" (the "common horse"). In the other column, you would select the "field", means all the horses you want to "marry" with the "common" one.
    Perhaps, one day you will hear the words: "partial field" of the horse "1" (the #1 is the common one), to qualify this betting mode...
    A Full Field of the horse "z" would be a respective "marriage" with ALL the horses running in the race ! Sometimes it could be profitable ! (If you are sure of 1 horse, and imagine that it arrives with the worst horses of the list ? You still win... but BIG !!!)
    Also note that the ticket shows : 1x2 3 4. And it is exactly the same than beting 3 times the respective simple dual !

    Unless you are curious and courageous, we don't recommend you to use "DUAL BETTING" at beginning ! It is not because it is more difficult... Once more, the problem is that it is still difficult to guess the gain.
    See this example above...
    When you "calculate" a combination... How many horses will you allow to marry with ? "How favourite" are they ?
    Imagine that you have bet a long combination: 1x2.3.4.5.6 (5 tickets)
    If at arrival, there are only favourite horses ! The gain would be as low as 4€ ? You could WIN... and earn less than your total betting !

    People in France, can "imagine" how a quotation moves... Freely ! (every evening, on television, at news, they announce horse betting results : "The horse xxx quoted at 5/1 in dual-bet with the horse yyy has given €..." Even if we don't bet, we can imagine !) Unless you are living in France, the only way for you to "imagine" is ...to test ! You won't spend money to test, will you ?)
    We think that it is better to stay away from Dual-Betting, for the moment !
    Later, you would perhaps try ?

8. UNDERSTANDING HORSING TERMS

    I recognize that, if the site, MrBookmaker.com explains carefully the "limits to play", it seems that they are considering you as a veteran in French Horse Betting ! Knowing all the betting tricks and terms ! Here are more explanations which could help...

    Remember that all details of this section... are perfectly unuseful for your betting ! There are people who are paid to calculate for you ! They are 10 times more skillful than you in this matter, it is their usual job !
    After long calculation, they will deliver us, half-dozen horse names... Do you want to redo calculation... after them ?
    Of course not ! But it is not forbidden to inform oneself, isn't it ?

    • There are 2 (let's say 3) different races !
      - "TROT" races: a horse cannot run ! It must only "trot", either "attelled" (harnessed to a sulky) or "monted" (rided by a joker).
      - "Galop" races
      - And rarely Steeple Races
      With experience, you will recognize the race type, only by the place of events (some 2 dozens Racing fields in France)
      But from now, try to remember:
      - Vincennes, the most famost for TROT races. It is in the capital, PARIS. The races are then, "more attractive", and liked by "rich owners". It means... A must to bet !
      - Enghien, is the 2nd TROT field, closed to PARIS.
      - Saint CLOUD, at PARIS, too. For GALOP races
      - Auteuil, Paris also, is for STEEPLE races.
      - Others are in Province...
      (Then, if a "provincial" owner does 1000km to come to Paris... It is never for nothing ! Conversely, when a Parisian horse is engaged in a "far provincial field"... It is never for nothing !
      Professional forecasters used to verify it... And they will do it for you !)

    • When a horse is introduced, i.e.
      204 NOSTALGIE DU LYS
      J. Y. RAFFEGEAU (2125) - 2a6a(03)0a8a9a3a
      You can note:
      • The number, i.e. 204: The first number indicates the race. Then comes the horse number.
        I.e. 204 means the horse bearing the number 4, of the 2nd race !
        Remember it ! Because forecast often gives you : 109-311-517 ! Means ? 1st race, number 9, then 3rd race, number 11, then 5th race, number 17... But there is rarely precision concerning the meeting place !
        Often there are 2 events a day ... So 109 is the first race, OK ! ... But of which event ??? Mystere ! So, read better if there is any other "written precisions"...
      • Let's continue, NOSTALGIE DU LYS, horse name.
      • J. Y. RAFFEGEAU, driver or Joker name.
      • 2100 is what we call the "handicap", means "something which transforms an extraordinary horse... in a normal horse" !
        Understand that we are here to bet ! If the horse is too good, it won't be useful to bet, right ? Remember, the losers pay the winners ! If everybody plays the same horse there will be only winners... and no loser ! So, which money will be paid to the winners ?
        Then, the organizers give an "handicap" to a "too good horse" (normally the one who has winned more money), to draw it back to almost the same level than the others horses !
        To try to give an equal chance to any horse
        In the Trot harnassed race, the "too good" horse has to do 25m or 50m more than the others ones. (Its departure line is before) So, the real distance is noted for each horse, for you to check.
        In this example, you see: 2125m. If others have, 2100, you understand that this one is "handicapped" by +25m to do ! In galop, you will see the weight the horse must bear ! (one adds weight in the saddle.)
      • Then come an alphanumerical list: 2a6a(03)0a8aDa3a which is its last "recordings". You read it from left to right, from the nearest date to further.
        In this example:
        - "2": means, it arrived 2nd at the last race (they don't say when)
        - "a": means "atteled". Of course, as it is a horse for "TROT". Sometime, it could run "m", means "monted". "p" (for "plat") will be for Galop and "o" (obstacle) is steeple race !
        - "6a": tells us that just before, it arrived 6th, still in "a"tteled.
        - (03) Now, comes recordings for the year 2003.
        - "0a" ? Zero means it was not seen in the "arrival photography" ! (surely further then the 10th place !
        - "D" ? for "distanced", means it has done a FAULT during the race, and was penalized !

        Now, if you are a professional (and it is not the case yet), you could check if you have a "regular" winner (i.e. 1a2a1a3a2a, always in the "head group"), or a "we-don't-know-why" winner (2a9a0a8a9a, too unregular) or a "difficult" horse (lot of "D", means FAULT !)
        OK ?

      THEN YOU CLICK ON "BET" ...
      Listen, avoid the "ita", trita"... For what ? Let's be serious ! WE ARE HERE TO WORK ! (Not to "bet" with the chance)
      - So, please choose to bet "WIN"
      (depending on your expectation), Or "PLACED" (recommended)
      - Click on "CONTINUE" !
      On the next page ... Do not break your head with all the proposals !
      (They are like those "bottom-page foolish bets on BetOnMarkets site". Stupid and non-sense !)
      They are for foolish which wants to bet with the chance... And it is not your case, is it ?
      - Enter the amount you want to bet and click "CONFIRM" !

      Normally, the information "gain expected" would calculate your estimated gain... But it doesn't !!! Anyway, ...

9. BULKY ADVICES

    For the first time in your life, you can earn money without understanding anything ! Without knowing anything on horses, even not their names !

    I have some friends who have their own horses databases ! Working 2 hours a day to record horse figures ! Every evening, they used to prepare their "tomorrow bettings", by checking carrefully each horse in their database, comparing each competitor's record...
    At minight, in fine, they finish to define the future winners...

    And the tomorrow, 15 millions of people bet exactly the same horses !

    Why ? Because there is no mystere ! When a horse is good, it is good... for everybody ! And if you have noted a performance... All the professionals have also noted it ! They are 10 times more skillful than you ! They are working in a company dealing exclusively in this matter, with tools 10 times more sophisticated than yours...
    It is their job, and they do it ALL THE DAY (and they are paid for it) !
    Are you wanting to be better than them ?

    We are sure that by working perhaps, more seriously, you could discover sometime a "forgotten trick" to find a winner...
    All right ! To win 10$... that time ! And then ? To have spent 800 hours a year recording your horses in a database? Does it deserve ?
    So, do not do this stupid error, avoid to break your head and just wait until tomorrow morning... to buy the publication, to use their professional works ! You pay for that, don't you ?

    have you that in Forex ?
    No calculation ! Just a list of horses to follow... "stupidly" !

    So, if it is so easy, why everybody doesn't rush in to earn money ? Everybody could do the same ?

    The answer is simple : "People are not serious" !
    - If you have 50€, you should bet 1€ on every race (You need to envisage a "long run")...
    You would then, earn 40, 50cts everytime ! It is boring !!!

    So, people bet 5€, 10€... (because 5, 10€ is what everybody "affords to lose" !)
    They will win a couple of bets... and will lose everything at the 10th bet !!!

    If you want to earn more, you must ... bet more ! But exactly in the same way...
    You start with 50€ to bet 1 € on each race !
    You start with 500€ to bet 10 € on each race ! 10 times more !
    You start with 5000€ and you bet 100€ on each race ! 100 times more !
    And this, nobody wants to do !

    My personal family has a regular enveloppe of 7800€, we have earned about 1500€ a month, for 2 years ! Rarely more... and rarely less !

    Can we really win ?
    Mathematics cannot mislead !

    Imagine a basic scheme:
    - On 10 races (or 100, would be more precise calculations !)
    - Let's assume you choose only favourite and bet "PLACED" (Expectation of gain 1.8/1)
    - Percentage of success is between 70-80% !
    Just click... and see !

    RESULT:

    Now, you can notice that if we are "more courageous" and choose a "more profitable" horse...
    - Let's say we don't only choose favourite horses, but a "a bit further"...
    - Or better ! We choose favourite, but we bet only in "FIRST WINNER" mode ...
    - So, we will have less chance to win, ... about 30-40% ?
    - But we would earn more each time ? Around 3$/1 !
    Just click and see ! Sometime, it is more profitable to take risk !

    This program could work for casino, sportive events, forex, or whatever game !
    Enjoy it !

    Each professional has his own rules,
    let's recall them...

  • Prefering "TROT RACES" ! Never bet in steeple races (too much surprise ! jockey falling, horse refusing to jump, etc...)
    A horse for TROT is like a machine ! Very regular ! We can "do serious calculations".
  • In "GALOP RACES", he only "bets for fun", awaiting the next race event !
  • Never bet if there are too few horses ! 7, 8, 9 horses. Even if you win, you would gain crumbs
  • Never bet if there are too many horses ! 18, 19, 20 horses ! There are too much "unknown" !
  • So the good choice would be : 11 to 16 horses ! (14 is perfect !)
  • Avoid to bet when it rains ! Some horses like rain, some NOT ! If you are not the owner, how can you know ? Except if you hear the journalist...
    Better not to bet ! But unfortunately, if you don't live in France, you cannot see if it rain or not, right ? So, try your best !
  • We told you that everyday there is a "KING RACE", chosen for special bettings... Remember ?
    Why ? Because, in the smallest villages, one can only bet in special bars ! It is then, impossible to link them to sophisticated informatic machines where one can bet "till the last second" (like if they are right on the racing field).
    So, 90% of french people can, and will bet "easierly", only in this race ! (If not they must go to another special place, sometime in a next bigger town !)
    Lot of "professional gamblers" don't like to bet in this race ! Because the money will be shared by too many winners ! Understand ! If this race can attract much more gamblers (90% of french people are concentrated in it !), it also allows much more betting mode... and thus, much more people to share the same moneybox !
    Our personal thinking is... they are right ! But we cannot forget that a whole country is looking at this race ! So, the competitors are "selected" ! They are engaged... to (really) win ! There could be "less risk of cheating" ! So, the horses are "more natural", thus easier to foresee !
    Then, conversely, some "professional gamblers" only bet on it ! (Thus, only a race a day) !
    Our personal advice would be : "if you plan to bet only one race a day, choose it ! If you like calculations, betting "SAG".. avoid it !
    These races bear the logo "QUINTE", on the header ! ("Quinte" is the betting mode where you must find the 5 first horses !)

10. BETTING METHOD

There is dozens method to bet... (And fortunately, we are not talking about "reducted systems" yet ! ( Like in LOTO, one could combinate 5, 6, 7, 10,... numbers and begin to earn a little "bonus" from 3 or 4 right numbers... This option has allowed the creation of hundreds "mathematical systems", complete, economic, reducted,... more or less profitable... Later, you would perhaps like to know them, but right now, the site "MrBookmaher.com" is too "simple" to allow them ! May be in a short future !)

For now, before to talk about method... let's talk about money !

Here is our first advice... of wisdom !
  • Divide your fund in 20 parts and bet only 1/20th everytime !
    I.e. if you begin with 100$, bet only 5$ (100/20), you can "survive" 20 bettings !
  • As there are 7 races per Event, you can measure your "force" everyday.
  • Avoid races with less than 8 horses... It is a waiste of times ! And also races with more than 18 horses ! (Too difficult)
  • Then, just follow "stupidly" forecast on the remaining 4 to 6 races everyday... Of course, prefering TROT races !
  • When you "begin to gain", recalculate your minimum betting
    I.e. when you hand 120$, you can increase your bet to (120/20) 6$ everytime !

  • And set a limit of gain ! DO NOT BE GREEDY !!!
    I.e. set your limit at 20$ ! When you reach a every "race-betting" of 10$, you vould earn 10/20$ a day (betting dizain times a day , 10$ on each races... => 100$ invested ! Gain usually 10-20% => 10/20$ ! OK ?)
    So, pocket REALLY, at least the half, EVERYDAY !!! Prepare to withdraw this amount (and enjoy it), you could hold the remaining to increase your betting fund...

REMEMBER, always, always, enjoy money coming from... betting ! It is not really, "clean" money... If you get it, it means another person just lost it ! One day (because there is a GOD), it will be your turn to lose !
So, when that day will come, you could say: "fortunately, I have enjoyed during... 1, 2, 3,... YEARS ! Thanks GOD !"

    Now let's see forecast you could receive and how to use it profitably...

    Usually you receive 4 to 6 numbers, i.e. 7 - 13 // 10 - 11... Rather: 307-313 // 310-311 (Remember ? The first number is the race number.) How to understand ?

  • The 2 first horses, i.e. 307 and 313, are the "favourites". We also call them the bases, as we used to "marry" them with others horses to bet in "Dual-betting".
    Usually, they have a "low quotation", as they have more than 50% chances to win.

  • The following horses, i.e. 310-311,... are the "outsiders".
    It is very rare that people use them in "simple bet" ! They are shown to help to build combinations by "marrying" with first ones !

    Here is the basic mode to bet

    When you begin, it does mean that you will not invest a lot of money...
    And moreover, if you just registered in "MrBookmaker.com", and are using your "3 bets free". (We advice you then, to test 1€ among the 2 first favourites !)

    So, don't talk about "the races of an event" (there are usually 7 or 8 races a day)... You would obviously bet once and wait results, to be able to bet the day after...
    Thus, you will bet once a day, right !

    As said above, we advice you to only bet in the "king-race" (Remember ? the race chosen officially to receive more betting modes... And why is it better to choose it ? Because there are more studies done by professional journalists... So, you would have more advices !
    Remember ? This race comes with the name "QUINTE" !)

    Then, you have now, 3 choices:

    1. You could always bet the FIRST HORSE OF THE LIST ! (i.e. 307 in this example)
      - By betting "FIRST WINNER", you would earn about 3/1 and it will arrive 3/4 times on ten races ! (Check with the program above.)
      - If you bet "PLACED", you would earn about 1.8/1 and it would arrive 7/8 times on 10 races !

    2. You could always bet the SECOND HORSE OF THE LIST ! (i.e. 313 in this example)
      - We don't recommend you to bet "FIRST WINNER" on this one ! You risk to wait too long.
      - If you bet "PLACED", you would earn a bit more and it would arrive... a bit less !

      Of course, no one will risk a penny on the following horses...

    3. Or you could bet the 2 first ones, at the same time ! (i.e. 307 and 313 in this example)
      - Experiences say that you win 7 times on ten races, if you bet "PLACED" !
      - ... But unfortunately, if the gain is 1.5/1... YOU LOSE !!! (check on the program. Don't forget that you bet twice everytime... and you earn twice: 14 times on 10 races !)

      It is why, more and more, forecasts prefer not to show the "very, very first favourite" ! To win everytime is fine... but gaining crumbs is boring...
      Actually, the first 2 horses, are often about 2 and 3/1 "at the place" ! (bet PLACED")
      And sometimes, the 2 could at arrival ! So, many people recommend to bet the 2 first ones, in "PLACED BETTING". You wouldn't earn a lot, but you would always have "fresh money"... to rebet !

      In betting, one must never give adviced methods ! Each person acts differently, with his ability and money available... But, we must also say this... for beginners

      Betting PLACED, only the first favourite returns about 110-120% of investment...
      - Let's say there are 7 races per event (if you only choose TROT events) ! You would bet 1 "unit" on each race (Total 7 "units" invested everyday)
      - This method has the advantage of "never leaving you with white hands", event in the most "unlucky days" !
      - So, you don't need to have at least, 20 times of the everyday betting amount... 10 times should be enough !
      - Let'say with "70 units", you can begin !
      (If you consider, an unit at 1$, just deposit 70$ in the account and begin ! You would earn 1-2$ a day... 50$ a month ?)
      70% a month !!! Show us which "honnest and trustable" HYIP program can bring you such an interest !

      So, even if we must detail the others betting methods... we "wish" (cannot advice) that most of you adopt this mind as long as possible...
      And professional gamblers, after trying many methods... used to come back to ... "simple things" !

    If you have more money and time,
    here is the best way to succeed !
    It is called "SAG" (Stop at gain)

    At Casino, each drawn is a pure Hasard ! You could have 20 drawns against you in a row ! If you doubled at everytime, you would risk to reach very quickly a bet of 5000$ to win... 1$ (your first dollar engaged)
    Just calculate: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 34, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, more than 8000$ at only the 13th drawn !!!

    1. Conversely, a horse is a machine ! It is very, very rare that you arrive at more than 7 lost, in a row !
    2. The second difference is that in a casino, one winning bet "RED", "BLACK", "even", "Odds", etc... only returns... the double of the bet !
      In Horse Racing, the gain is according to a "quotation", sometime it could be "2/1" (double), then "5/1", "3/1", etc... (so, you would bet much lower)
      You've got it ? Anyway, let's see example.

    As you need a "long run plan to bet on many races", you could bet once a day during weeks... or to do it the same day (recommended !)
    As there are 7/8 races a day, it is perfect to use this full method in the same day !

    Here is the rule, simply...

    1. Your aim is to win "1 unit" (hoping more) !
      It is recommended to bet: "FIRST WINNER", Only ! The quotation is higher !
    2. You follow "stupidly" the forecast: you bet 1€ (If you win, you stop for today !)
    3. If you lose, you rebet on the second race... but depending on quotation of the horse shown! Let's assume it is at 4/1, you will only bet 1 (Investment 1+1, gain expected=1x4€, OK ?)
      Caution, when we said "quotation 4/1", in reality, you should envisage "a bit lower"... Who knows what could arrives ? In practice, we use a 10/20% security, i.e. for this example, we would consider 3.2 or 3.6/1, when 4/1 is displayed...)
    4. If you win you stop, if not, you rebet on the third race... but still depending on quotation of the next horse in forecast ! Let's assume this new one is at 3€/1, you will only bet 2 (Investment 1+1+2, gain expected=2x3€, OK !)
    5. If you win you stop, if not, you rebet on the fourth race... but still depending on the next quotation ! Let's assume it is now at 5€/1, you will only bet 2 (Investment 1+1+2+2, gain expected=5x2€, OK !)
    6. And so on...
    7. Difficult ?
      To help you, we have created a JavaScript program, which will calculate the minimum bet
      OPEN IT HERE       (Note: we have taken a security of 20% on the "quotation" displayed)

    It is "almost" impossible that you finish the day without winning ! (The average is 4 races !)
    Do you know where is the big difference with a casino ?
    A horse is an animal, of course ! But there is still a jokey or a driver, who is human ! There are perhaps some unknown jockeys, but there are many "champions" ones !
    It is impossible that a champion finishes his day without winning, at least once ! ... If not, he won't be a champion !
    (He is only a "worker" and has a salary, plus percentage on gain... But, as any good sportive person, he can guess in which race he has more chance to win... If not he won't be a champion, right ?)

    The favourite horses list is often built with the couple Good horse+Jokey champion ! If you follow strictly the list you would win !
    You can also note that, conversely with a casino, you haven't to need double every time (fotunately), i.e. at the 7 races, you would have engaged about 30, 40 unit(s). It is still an "affordable" amount !
    And some gamblers, arriving at that stage, consider the day as a "non-profit" day ! And they prefer to stop and begin again the next day from ZERO ! Others stick strickly to the rules and continue on the day after ...
    You are the master ! It is up to you...

    So, it is like a work !
    You work everyday some hours to follow your betting...
    No Boss ! For a salary of 1500$ a month !

    If you are interested in this method, and obviously you are not living in France...:-)), we will give you some tricks !
    - As you need to "know QUICKLY if you have winned" or not , to be able to rebet quickly after a race... But the site MrBookmaker.com doesn't deliver the result quickly enough...
    - So the site : http://www.geny.com/ is the quickest to give results ! They even tell you the "estimated arrival" in case of inquiry ! It can help !
    Unfortunately, you must navigate a bit... (Click on "COURSES PMU" and then on "Rιsultats", then you call the race by its number)
    - The site http://www.pmu.fr/ is the official one... Even if you don't understand french... It is displayed on the first page, but a bit later... (still before MrBookmaker) !
    - We recommend to have these 2 sites opened, and don't forget to "refresh" the page oftenly !
    We remind that you only have 15 mn between 2 races, so, do fast to be able to return to MrBookmaker.com to bet !

    We personally don't do this anymore, because, actually, we have changed our way of living... Reserving more time in leasure !
    This way of betting needs you to stick to the computer (about from 1 pm to 7 pm). Understand that it is not a "problem of time" ! (5/6 hours is not to much !) The problem is "to plan your time": imagine you plan your "work" from 1pm to 6pm... If you win at the 1st or 2nd race... What will you do next ! NOTHING !
    Having time + having money + boring... It is at these stages that most of us do foolish !!! We "create foolish plans" ! And most of the time, they fail !
    So take a great care about that !

    Anyway, today, we prefer to earn less. We bet the evening for the tomorrow events !
    So we have all day... to do nothing !
    But if you are "young" and full of ambition, we assure you that it is the best way to succeed !

    DUAL-BETTING ! A profitable method for people who like...

    Here is the 3th method that we also recommend... when you begin to like it !
    Why ? It is because "you need to read more"...
    Understand ! You will not have to read "kilometer of news, like in FOREX ! You must only "take decision" ! (But don't worry ! most of forecast will help you !)

    The methods above ask you to follow "stupidly" a list !
    But if you "have time to read", on exactly the same list, you would say : "this race doesn't deserve" (too few or too many horses), or "Today I don't bet, because..." (remember advices above)
    Sometime you prefer this race ? Or only to bet on the "Heart Spot"... Whatever...

    Anyway, it means that from a whole event you will only bet in 3 or 4 races (and only you know why) !
    So, By using the same forecast list, and selecting your preferred races you would have 2 ways to bet in "DUAL-MODE" (according to the way you "cross" the horses):

    1. "ECONOMIC BETTING", means you marry the "bases" with the "outsiders":
      Base 1 + Outsider 1, Base 1 + outsider 2 then Base 2 + Outsider 1, Base 2 + outsider 2
      I.e. for the above example: 307x310, 307x311, 313x310, 313x311
      thus, 4 different tickets (at 1€ = 4€)

    2. Or "FULL BETTING", means all existing combinations... Means you will have 2 more combinations :
      Base 1 + Base 2, Outsider 1 + outsider 2
      I.e. for the above example: 307x310, 307x311, 313x310, 313x311 and 307x313, 310,311
      thus, 6 different tickets (at 1€ = 6€)

    You would win, perhaps 3 times on 10 races... But the gain is about 10 to 20/1 ! The difficulty is to decide which race to bet... and which one not to bet !

      With this idea, let's see a basic comparison:
    • You are given: 5.4 // 3.2.7.13.9
    • As usually, you prefer the "wise plan" and you bet 10€ "PLACED" on the favourite one: "5" . OK ?
    • HURRAH ! the arrival is 13.5.2.9.8 ! YOU WIN !!!
    • The horse "5" was favourite, and unfortunaty the "quotation" was low ! You are only paid 1.5/1
    • But you still win 10€ x 1.5 = 15€ Not bad ! It is 50% of gain in ze pocket !!! OK ?

    • Now some "genius" would note...
    • "If you are wise, you would only stay in favourite horses"... OK, it is understandable !
    • "If you continue like that, you will succeed, of course... But there is still another way to earn... more !" (with low quoted horses)
    • Let's see the DUAL mind with exactly these same horses (of course,in bet "PLACED") !
    • With 10€, basically you could bet 10 tickets of 1€, right ?

    • So, for less than that, by taking the same example of forecast: 5.4 // 3.2.7.13.9,
      - If you have played FULL COMBINATION in DUAL BETTING (see details above), on the 4 first horses (5.4.3.2), you would have also winned !
      And the gain would have been perhaps lesser: 14 ? perhaps more: 16, 18€... but you would have paid ONLY 6€ !!! (see above for details concerning "FULL BETTING" !)

    • And still better !!! If you would have played ... ECONOMIC DUAL BETTING ... You would have also winned !!!, with a bet much more cheaper... ONLY 4€ !!!

    • Easy to talk... after horses did arrive, right ?

      We have to admit that by betting in "calculated DUAL MODE",
      your "arms are opened larger"...

      Here is, OUR PERSONAL WAY TO BET !

    • Without any recommendation ! You have a head ! You have a calculator... Sometime it could be better, sometime not. Our only recommendation is to adopt a plan and to stick on it and never compare with insane "if, if, ..."
    • We would have played "2 ROWS of DUAL BETTING, with each of the 2 BASES...
      - Means 5 married with 3.2.7.13.9 = 5 DUAL ECONOMIC BETTING tickets
      (Understood ? Would be 5x3 and 5x2 and 5x7 and 5x13 and 5x9 = 5 tickets !)
      - And 4 married with the same "fields" 3.2.7.13.9 = 5 anothers DUAL BETTING tickets
      - TOTAL, 10 tickets = 10€, still the same amount !

    • Imagine now, how are your possibilities to win...
      13.5.2.9.8 - 4.5.2.9.8 - 9.4.2.13.8 - 8.4.2.9.13 - 4.5.9.13.8, etc, etc...
      Much, much more
      Sometimes you could have 2 winning tickets at the same time... But as we have told you above, the problem is that you haven't enough practice yet to guess what would be the gain ! (So, sooner you can guess, better you will learn to calculate)
      Some DUAL pay 15, 20, 30, 40€... Some pay only, 5, 8, 12€... You will be investing 10€ !!! Imagine if you earn only 8€ ??? Shame !
      But in a long run, we assure you that you will WIN !!!
      Some people take only 4 outsiders (i.e. they stop at : 5.4 // 3.2.7.13), they would only spend 8 tickets = 8€...
      Conversely, some people go further in the "forgotten" list ... Those DUALS could reach 100€... But don't dream too much ! (Good horse are Good horse... a "nag" stays a nag ! until a miracle comes !)
