New Posts For Thread: Which races to bet on ?https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31560311/which-races-to-bet-onI have a few criteria which allows me to decide which races to bet on . Rather than try to answer my own question now ( I will later ) It would be interesting to hear how other punters go about this . Thanks in anticipation .Just checked using the .csv file from here: Half my profits are from Novice/Maidens and Handicaps the rest. I have done terribly in Group and listed races. Some reason I find these difficult and will have to stop punting them.

The pedigree's on showThu, 17 Sep 2020 12:17:07 -0500I'm also wary of betting at many northern meetings eg Newcastle A/W (where I can't remember the last time I had a bet) because I usually watch my horse finishing nearer last than first and hear myself saying "never again".https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31560311/which-races-to-bet-on?post_id=559863195#559863195I'm also wary of betting at many northern meetings eg Newcastle A/W (where I can't remember the last time I had a bet) because I usually watch my horse finishing nearer last than first and hear myself saying "never again".Thu, 17 Sep 2020 08:05:20 -0500I rule out all of the following - Class 3, 6 & 7 h/caps, sellers, maidens and football betting. I do well in class 4 & 5 h/caps and claiming races (so I stick to them).https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31560311/which-races-to-bet-on?post_id=559863173#559863173I rule out all of the following - Class 3, 6 & 7 h/caps, sellers, maidens and football betting.

I'm no expert & it doesn't always work out but I find it interesting and it can be profitable.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31560311/which-races-to-bet-on?post_id=559862903#559862903I like Novices/Maidens where a little pedigree knowledge can go a long way.
