Neil Coster performs some analysis on his each-way selections that illustrates the place component of the bet may be a waste of money!

After a fantastic October, November has not been my best month and ahead of today’s picks, I am 6 points down for the month.  This has mainly been due to the failure of my ante-post selections.  However, a number of those ante-post selections and some of my daily selections have provided the opportunity to trade bets, that is back-to-lay and guarantee a profit. I wrote a back-to-lay guide last month and highlighted with a couple of selections how it could be used.  Well those of you that have utilised this concept over the last month, would have seen the benefit. …]]> http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/11/dont-forget-back-to-lay/feed/ 0 http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/11/how-to-bet-on-horse-racing-what-to-look-for-when-picking-a-winner/ http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/11/how-to-bet-on-horse-racing-what-to-look-for-when-picking-a-winner/#comments Tue, 08 Nov 2011 11:41:55 +0000 Neil Coster http://www.onebooker.com/en/?p=6448

The initial ‘How the Bet’ horse racing guides looked at why you should bet on horse racing and explained the main types of bets that you could make.  The next in the series looks at the factors to consider when looking to pick a winner.  This guide will provide an overview of the main factors, focusing specifically on horse form.  Whilst other elements are mentioned here, there will be further guides going into more detail over the coming weeks and months. The most important single factor to consider when backing a horse is the form of the horse in comparison…]]> http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/11/how-to-bet-on-horse-racing-what-to-look-for-when-picking-a-winner/feed/ 0 http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/10/betting-guide-back-to-lay-part-2/ http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/10/betting-guide-back-to-lay-part-2/#comments Sat, 08 Oct 2011 07:50:45 +0000 Neil Coster http://www.onebooker.com/en/?p=5782

Earlier this week I explained the concept of back to lay and by way of example made three bets which I was hoping to lay off ahead of the events’ conclusion.  Three days later two of those bets can successfully be layed, to secure a profit whatever the outcome. The Welsh rugby team turned in a fantastic performance in New Zealand to progress to the semi-final of the World Cup.  Following that win, you can now lay Wales at 8.80, locking in a profit whether Wales win or lose the World Cup! The details of how this can be done…]]> http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/10/betting-guide-back-to-lay-part-2/feed/ 0 http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/10/betting-guide-back-to-lay/ http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/10/betting-guide-back-to-lay/#comments Wed, 05 Oct 2011 08:28:10 +0000 Neil Coster http://www.onebooker.com/en/?p=5692

Back to lay is a term often heard inconjunction with in-running events, that is betting whilst the event is taking place, be it a horse race or a golf tournament.  The concept is this, you back a selection at a relatively high price, then at a later date you lay the same selection.  Ideally in this process you guarantee a profit on the event before it is complete or at least reduce your potential loss! As most of you will know to lay a bet, you will have to have an account on one of the exchanges, the main ones…]]> http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/10/betting-guide-back-to-lay/feed/ 0 http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/09/how-to-bet-on-horse-racing-part-2/ http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/09/how-to-bet-on-horse-racing-part-2/#comments Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:23:59 +0000 Neil Coster http://www.onebooker.com/en/?p=5241

Having explained the main types of bets that you can place on horse racing, I thought it would be worth a brief look at each-way betting in a little more detail.  Remember that when you place an each-way bet you are actually placing two bets, one on the horse to win and another on the horse to be placed. The rules on horses being placed are very specific, with defined terms (Tattersalls Committee) for what return you will get if the bet is successful.  These terms are not always met by all bookmakers, although the main online bookies such as…]]> http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/09/how-to-bet-on-horse-racing-part-2/feed/ 0 http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/09/what-is-in-play-betting/ http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/09/what-is-in-play-betting/#comments Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:42:54 +0000 Onebooker http://www.onebooker.com/en/?p=4924

Betting in-play or “live” betting has become increasingly popular amongst punters, offering a wide range of new markets and potentially lucrative odds on televised matches, races and events.]]> http://www.onebooker.com/en/2011/09/what-is-in-play-betting/feed/ 0 http://www.onebooker.com/en/2010/10/my-thoughts-about-spread-betting/ http://www.onebooker.com/en/2010/10/my-thoughts-about-spread-betting/#comments Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:33:26 +0000 Onebooker http://www.onebooker.com/en/?p=1778

Spread betting. You’ve heard it mentioned, often accompanied by a confusing analogy about “buying and selling”. While fixed-odds betting will be familiar to most, some folk may not be quite so comfortable with the terms spread betting and binary betting and as such these betting methods are often rightly approached with caution. What I’d like to do here then, is blow away a few misconceptions about spread betting and show you how it can turn out to be a hugely profitable vertical in your portfolio Firstly, it’s not as complicated as you think. It’s simply a game of “higher” or…]]> http://www.onebooker.com/en/2010/10/my-thoughts-about-spread-betting/feed/ 0 http://www.onebooker.com/en/2010/09/how-to-assess-value-in-a-bet/ http://www.onebooker.com/en/2010/09/how-to-assess-value-in-a-bet/#comments Wed, 29 Sep 2010 16:19:59 +0000 Neil Coster http://www.onebooker.com/en/?p=844

Value Betting and Calculating Percentages from Odds In a number of my posts I have used the term ‘value’, such as, represents great value at 33/1 (Taqleed), represents good value if odds against (Mutajarred), great each way value today (South Cape). So what is value?   Can it be defined?  Who determines it?  How should you use it? In betting, value can be defined as when the assessed chance of an outcome is better than that reflected by the odds being offered.  Looking at a simple example this week, the Ryder Cup, which has only 3 possible overall outcomes, a USA…]]> http://www.onebooker.com/en/2010/09/how-to-assess-value-in-a-bet/feed/ 0
