Things You'll Need:
- Racing program
- Racing magazine
- Computer
-
Step 1
Get a program from a racetrack. From this you can see what you need to learn. Go over every term that you don't know or understand.
-
Step 2
Visit racetrack websites to learn about betting and the terminology (see Resources below).
-
Step 3
Read horseracing news in horseracing magazines. These magazines should explain betting terms in ways you can easily understand.
-
Step 4
Go to a local track and talk to people placing bets. You can also find a time when the cashiers at the betting windows are not busy and see if they can explain some terms to you.
-
Step 5
Have a friend who bets on horse racing to give you a few tips. The terms may seem hard to understand at first, but after placing a few bets and hearing the terms a few times they may be able to explain things.
