Is there such a thing as an easy winner? Occasionally we know when one will win (like Frankel the other day) but usually this has a direct consequence on the price you can get. This price then needs to be weighted against the risk of losing your stake, in Frankel there was no risk but at 4/6 you need more winners than losers to make profits.
So is there another way?
YES.
Place bets can prove to be a quality method of earning money. Why? Well it's easier to pick a horse that will be in the shake up than to pick a horse that will win. Winning can be on the nod and therefore completely unpredictable but placed horses can be determined even if they run poorly. The example today was Ebraam in the first race at Warwick... came 2nd.
Place bets are less risky and bring good profits.
