Tipping Selections become more Targetted
RaceBiz tipping selections are becoming more targetted, and thought that it was timely to do a quick update on the changes.
Tips are provided for two race meetings but our team do not always provide selections for every race. We are committed to providing value tips and selections, and subject to the horses’ form, race day conditions, and the type of race, so some races will have no selections.
Three tips are generally provided for each race, and are in no particular order in terms of where we think the horse will finish in the race. In July, the tipping selection sheet was expanded to include an additional row underneath the three selections called “Consider”. What was the rational for this? In some races we needed the option of more than three selections to help with the punting choices and the Exotics. By doing this members receive a more comprehensive analysis of the race.
It’s at our member’s discretion whether or not to choose to simply use the first three main selections with Assessed Odds, or expand their range to include the horses added under “Consider”.
Options for these tips are to back one, two or more in a particular race. Win and place bets, and dutch betting (Backing several selections in a race so that no matter which horse wins, the returns are the same – see DUTCH BETTING EXPLAINED for full details) can also be considered. Boxed Quinellas, Trifectas and First Fours can also be put together using both “Selections” and “Consider”.
How are the tipping selections becoming more targetted?
Given that on most days there are 10 or 11 races tipped over two meetings, members who prefer to only have two or three bets for the day have been asking: “How do I know which race to choose?”. And, of course, for our team there are always races that stand out above others. To help with your choices, if the team feel that a particular race is the one to look at closely, this will be shaded in green.

The prices that you see with each selection are a rated or assessed price. If the assessed price is 5-1 and your betting platform is offering 25-1 then you are getting exceptional value. Conversely if it is assessed at 3-1 and your betting platform is offering 2-1, then this is very poor value and is not a good bet.
We also encourage all our members to work within their money management plan. Based on your available account decide what percentage to stake either per race, per race meeting or per day. Our suggestion is wager around 1% of your funds – bet within your means and build your bank slowly. Remember, it is better to earn $100 from $1000, than $1000 from $100!
