Horse Racing Betting Guides by Topic
In a sport as sophisticated as horse racing and its inextricable links with gambling, there are naturally a lot of industry terms. These have developed in step with wider public demand for more betting options.
Jargon busting is the name of the game at RacingTipster. We’re not just about AI horse racing tips on a daily basis, but want to educate you about the different types of betting available.
You can take a punt well in advance of our predictions going up on big races. To do that effectively, you must understand the meaning of ante post betting and what that entails.
There are different rules governing a wager made so early. It is in turn quite different to betting on the Tote in parimutuel pools. We explore that too.
Away from that, we have a guide to the steeplechase, so you understand how races over fences differ from others. This is not the same as a hurdle race or bumper.
There are always big dates in the course of the campaign, and the festive season means busy days. The 1 January or New Year’s Day races start any calendar year off with a bang.
That is perhaps secondary to another major date in any horse racing fan’s diary, though. We are of course referring to Boxing Day races on 26 December immediately after Christmas.
We also provide explanations on the patent bet and other similar wagers you can place on races.
Understanding the different ways to place bets on horse racing will help you find what suits your approach best.
Terminology plays a big part in the sport too. If you need to understand what does PU mean in horse racing or what wind surgery is and its significance, then we’ve got it covered.
