Horse Betting Tips – A Newbies Guide to Online Betting

If you are a newbie at online betting, then you will be after some direction and guidance? The best Horse Betting tip is only a few minutes away. It’s simple with a little research.

  • Do your research
  • Find a good system and
  • Stay focused.

Who you take guidance from depends on your circle of friends and acquaintances, to the level of guidance they can offer you. Tips from your local cabbie or your aging window cleaner might seem generous at the time, but would you act upon them? Your friends on a boozy night in the local pub may have suggested excellent Horse betting systems, but would you actually trust them? And more importantly would you act on their suggestions? The answer to some of these questions at some point will probably be yes! And you will have backed horses and won and on other occasions lost based on the advice given to you.

As a newbie to online sports betting you may find calculating the odds quite tricky whether its fractions or decimal, what do the numbers actually mean? To what type of bets do you place, doubles, singles, Tri-cast or trebles, placed or to win. So many different permutations it can be daunting. However help is available. Most online bookmakers have pages within their websites explaining the rules of betting and how the odds are calculated. This for newbies is a good starting point. It will also guide you through your first bet.

There are hundreds of online bookmakers, many you will already be familiar with such as Ladbrokes, William hill, Bet Fred, Bet 365, Coral and betfair. It’s not my position to discuss which of these bookmakers if any, offer the best value to you but to offer you these as examples. A quick Google search with the key phrase “online bookmakers” or more specifically “horse racing today” for example will return hundreds of different bookmakers web sites. This would be a good starting point to help you see what is on offer.

Another good point of reference is Wikipedia. Just type the search term online gambling in the search box within Wikipedia to reveal a whole host of valuable information regarding gambling and online sports betting, although slightly Americanized with its content and references the principles can still be applied anywhere. The Wikipedia information is quite hard going but does offer links to bite sized chunks of information that can be easily digested stage by stage, you may want to bookmark this in your web browser so you can easily recall the information at a later date.

Now that you are more familiar with the different bookmakers you will have noticed that most of them offer free bets and incentives to open accounts, some even offer free horse betting tips. All the free money offers from registered bookmakers are genuine and can range in value to new account holders, from £25 worth of free bets (no deposit required) to £200 matched deposit. Let me explain. A matched deposit of 100% up to the value of £200 means if you only deposited £10, then the bookmaker would only deposit £10 into your account for free. On the other hand if you were to deposit the full £200, then the bookmaker would match it and place £200 in your account. Sometimes conditions are attached to the “free money” so please read the terms and conditions for each site carefully, so you’re not disappointed. 

All these types of offers make opening an online account more attractive and there is nothing stopping you from opening many different accounts with various different bookmakers thus taking advantage of the “free money” and “cash bonuses” available. You may even find that some of the bookmakers offer other types of gambling accounts which interest you, like Bingo, or slots or even online casinos, within the same bookmakers’ website, all offering cash incentives. If you are a newbie to online gambling this is one horse betting tip I can’t recommend enough.

Take advantage of what is available online. If possible try to organise all your betting transactions online to help maximise your profits from the bets you place. Once you are up to speed with the betting terminology and the online betting process after some careful background research on Wikipedia and Google and you’ve found maybe a few desperate bookmakers offering you very generous bonuses to open an account you are now in a position to start placing bets.

Find a good Horse betting system and staying focused are two other Horse Betting Tips I mentioned earlier and in further articles I will go into more detail but in brief its simple. Find a betting system that works for you and one you can understand, backed by the research you have conducted into horse racing gambling and online sports betting there are many available, some free.

What I would recommend is you take your time selecting the right one. Look for systems that offer testimonials and have a proven track record, or even a money back guarantee. If it sounds too good to be true it generally is. As an example Bob Rothman has published a book on his system called ‘The Racing Success System”‘ in which he completely explains the concept of value betting and money management, and there are pages of formidable looking tables to help you decide what the right odds are. However, Rothman believes the true professional must be “as disciplined as a soldier with himself, he must be made of steel. “Gambling is the hardest game in the world to make a living at. The usual state of affairs is that you lose more often than you win, but when you win you get much more, so that overall you show a profit.” “The professional gambler has to learn to live with disappointment without allowing it to cloud his decision making ability”.

This is just one example of Horse betting systems, in this instance of “value betting”, a term you will have come across in your Wikipedia research highlights a profitable system for the long term professional gambler but not without its pitfalls, that’s why my third Horse betting tip falls here. Stay focused, as Bob confirms the professional gambler has to learn to live with disappointment but by staying focused to the task and the system you will overall profit. Remember, do your research, find a system and stay focused.

Theater Review “War Horse” Kansas City, Missouri

“War Horse”
April 1, 2014
Music Hall
Kansas City, Missouri

Our Score: 5 out of 5 stars

It was an incredible evening in Kansas City this week when the Tony Award winning play “War Horse” rode triumphantly into the Music Hall for a one week engagement.

Based on the popular children’s book of the same name by Michael Morpurgo (adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford, the play was also the basis for the very successful Steven Spielberg-helmed film from 2011.

The play begins in August 1912 in England. A horse auction is about to commence. In a bidding war between the Narracott brothers – well-to-do Arthur (Andrew Long) and down-on-his-luck Ted (Gene Gillette). As the two go at it, they drive the price to more than three times the usual. Ted wins but he must spend the mortgage money on the creature. What’s worse, while Ted was looking for a plow horse, he has come home with a hunter. He entrusts the care of the horse to his son, Albert (Michael Wyatt Cox). Albert names the horse “Joey,” and with love and kindness, the two bond. Soon, young Joey is a majestic steed…rearing up in joy when Albert is near. It is a bond that will continue to hold, even when separated by war.

Winner of 5 Tony Awards (and a special Tony for it’s remarkable puppetry), including Best Play, “War Horse” is a show that you will remember forever. Not only for its great cast and outstanding set design, but for the amazing work of the South African Handspring Puppet Company. What they have created is nothing short of miraculous. Life size horses gallop and play on the stage, guided not only by the puppeteers inside the creation but the one guiding the head as well, capturing the very essence of movement and grace. With the “handlers” dressed as others in the cast, they blend in so nicely that one can easily begin to believe the horses are real.

As the story progresses over six year, Joey learns to do things he wasn’t intended to and uses those skills to not only help himself but to save the lives of those around him. He is truly the star of this production and I can’t tip my hat enough to the artists that bring him, and the other horses, to life. The human actors also do a great job. As Albert, Cox displays just the right amount of wide-eyed innocence that is slowly lost as he goes off to battle in an effort to search for his friend. Both Long and Gillette portray the conflict between the two Narracott brothers sharply. Yes, there is some anger and animosity there, but underneath there is love. Others who deserve special notice include Maria Elena Ramirez as Albert’s mother, Andrew May as a German officer who soon understands the horror of war and Caden Douglas as the hard charging Captain Stewart. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the cast that brings Joey to life: Jon Hoche, Brian Robert Burns and Jessica Krueger. Bravo!

“War Horse” continues in Kansas City through April 6.

Film Review “War Horse”

Starring:  Jeremy Irvine, Emma Watson and David Thewlis
Directed by:  Steven Spielberg
Rated:  PG 13
Running time:  2 hours 26 mins
Touchstone Pictures

Our Score: 5 out 5 stars

Sometimes you know what you need.  And sometimes you know what you want.  This is never more true in the case of Ted Narracott (Peter Mullan) and his family.  Peter is a good man who often finds his judgement clouded by a touch of the grape (or that strange combination of barley and hops).  Ted and his son, Albert (Irvine) have come to town to buy a plow horse.  To describe their farmland as rocky is an understatement and the horse they need must be strong and stout.  Of course, against all reason, Ted bids on and purchases a beautiful thoroughbred.  Fast as lightning and pretty to look at, Ted’s neighbors, as well as his disapproving wife (Watson) just shake their head.  But, as they will all soon discover, this is surely no ordinary horse.

Told with the emotion-gripping style that is a trademark of many Steven Spielberg films, “War Horse” is based on the popular 1982 children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo.  The book is enjoying a great afterlife as it’s also the basis for a popular play currently running on Broadway.  Adapted by British screenwriters Lee Hall (“Billy Elliot”) and Richard Curtis (“Love Actually”), the film captures the emotions of the book perfectly.  Despite his mother’s doubt at the choice of horse, named Joey by Albert, the horse learns to pull a plow, digging rows and rows of rock-packed earth to prepare for planting.  Albert also learns that before his father became the sad, broken man he appears to be, he had fought for England and received several medals.  He finds his father’s campaign ribbon and ties it to Joey’s bridle.  When World War I begins, Joey is “leased” by an officer, who promises to return him after the war.  A war that seems will never end.

Has there been another director in the history of film who could manipulate the heartstrings as well as Steven Spielberg?  Whether it’s Elliot and E.T., Oskar Schindler and the 1100 Jews or Captain Miller saving Private Ryan, Spielberg has managed to pull us into his films, as if we ourselves were the main character.  He is assisted here by a stellar cast and a remarkable animal.  As the bickering but loving Narracotts, Mullan and Watson seem like they’ve been together for years.  After she’s been disappointed for the umpteenth time, Ted asks his wife if she hates him.  “I may hate you more,” she tells him, “but I’ll never love you less.”  Irvine, in his motion picture debut, is equally strong.  His love for Joey has no boundaries and you can understand why he embarks on the mission he does to find him.

As he did on “Saving Private Ryan,” Spielberg takes us in and up close to the horrors of war.  There is one great scene where the mounted troops charge a German outpost, the sound of the horses thundering hooves matching the beating hearts of their riders.  The cinematography, by Spielberg’s long time Oscar winning DP Janusz Kaminski is breathtaking, as is John Williams spot on musical score.  The one complaint I’ve heard about the film is that the battle scenes seem tame.  They are intense but they’re nothing like the ones in “Saving Private Ryan,” toned down, in my estimation, so that the young readers of the book could see the film.

DreamWorks Pictures’ “War Horse,” director Steven Spielberg’s epic adventure, is a tale of loyalty, hope and tenacity set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War. “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.

The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war— a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is currently on Broadway. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.

A Pale Horse Named Death “And Hell Will Follow Me” CD Review

A Pale Horse Named Death
“And Hell Will Follow Me”
SPV/Steamhammer
Producer: Sal Abruscasto/Matt Brown
Tracks: 13
Run time: 53 minutes and 37 seconds

Our Score: 3 out of 5

“And Hell Will Follow Me” is the debut release from Life of Agony drummer/ Type O Negative Co-Founder Sal Abruscasto’s new band A Pale Horse named Death. “And Hell Will Follow Me” showcases the many talents of Sal Abruscasto as he is the sole musician featured on the album. Abruscasto with the help of Matt Brown also produced the record which definatley blends all of Sal’s previous bands sounds into one doom filled ensemble.

“And Hell Will Follow Me” might be a little sluggish for your typical metal head. However for those Type O Negative fans out there looking for a similar sound look no further as “And Hell Will Follow” has that signature eerie sound the band was known for. Sludge rock mixed with a side of doom and a touch of techno samples will give fans of both Life of Agony and Type O Negative something to fill their ears with. Tracks such as “Serial Killer and “When The Crows Descend Upon You” were real stand outs for more as they had more of a hard rocking straight forward feel to them which when played live will surely conjure up a superior circle pit.

“And Hell Will Follow Me” showcases a very dark and gloomy sound that fans of both Abruscasto’s previous bands will surely enjoy.

Track Listing:
1.)    And Hell Will Follow Me
2.)    As Black As My Heart
3.)    To Die In Your Arms
4.)    Heroin Train
5.)    Devil In The Closet
