Not long now to racing’s resumption in Europe: there’ll be a slow start, and that will suit you if you’re learning how to bet.

Look back now at results. Why did the horse win? Who was the trainer? Is that his usual sort of race? Who was the jockey in the saddle? There are 1,001 questions and I’ll be tackling many of them in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, here are some short answers to think about.


Question 1: I’m a novice punter; how should I bet?

A To learn and have fun
B To make a profit
C To prevent boredom

MARKS out of 10: A6, B4, C0
Rule: Never bet for the sake of it. Bet for fun with small stakes but keep a record of what went on, and learn from it. Think in terms of small profits. Don’t throw your money away going for lottery hits!


Question 2: How do I stake?

A Win
B Win and place
C Level stakes
D Lay

NOVICE MARKS out of 10: A6, B6, C6, D0
REGULAR PUNTER: A8, B2, C0, D4
Rule: To begin with, stake the same amount on each horse, playing different ways, until the returns reveal to you what adjustments you need to make a profit.


Question 3: How do I win?

A Follow the form
B Follow the market.
C Follow a trainer or jockey
D Follow the 200 experts
E Follow your rules

NOVICE MARKS out of 10: A6, B4, C6, D4, E0
REGULAR PUNTER: A10, B6, C4, D1, E10

Question 4: Should I follow favourites?

A In a favourite’s race
B At particular meetings
C In big races

MARKS A4, B4, C2
Rule: Don’t follow favourites slavishly. Opposing them is a punter’s core being.


Question 5: How do I manage my losses?

A Try not to lose
B Double up if you lose
C Reduce your stakes

MARKS A10, B0, C4
Rule: Losses are part and parcel of winning; don’t chase your losses.


Question 6: What is value?

A A horse at a big price
B A horse that’s always winning
C A horse in the headlines

MARKS A2, B2, C2
Not much joy with the above? What is the answer, then?
Rule: Back the horse which is a better price than it should be.


Question 7: Ok, should I follow your winning rules?

NOVICE: 8, REGULAR: 2

What should a regular punter do then?

Rule: Use my rules to add to your experience of racing; then create your own winning rules.. and stick to them.
