The best way to make good decisions on the horses is to understand the odds and learn who influences these odds. The people who create the morning line are the first to influence the odds on the tote board at post time. These influential people are public handicappers.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Daily race form
  • Off-track betting establishment

Step1
Understand that the morning line is not very accurate. It is a last minute responsibility completed 48 hours prior to post time.
Step2
Purchase a program for the day and look at the public handicapper's selections. Notice that all handicappers lay about the same odds for each horse.
Step3
Study the program for each race and realize that any horse listed at 20 to 1 is 99 to 1 in reality.
Step4
Select other literature to read the morning line odds. Towns that have a racetrack usually publish a racing form in their daily paper.
Step5
Log on to the website of the racetrack. There will be a link to the morning line odds on the website.
Step6
Compose a list of horses for each race that you believe will win, place or show. Go to an Off-Track Betting establishment and compare your picks to the tote around the country.
Step7
Read the horse racing blog of the day. Blogs on horse racing sometimes include the inaccuracies of the morning line odds.

Tips & Warnings

  • The morning line odds change throughout the day.
  • Gambling can be addictive.
