As a sports writer for years now, I had the opportunity to use my expertise in betting on some sports including Kentucky derby betting and winning it. And today I’m going to share to all Kentucky derby fans out there some of the tips to remember in betting on Kentucky Derby. I know that navigating expert horse racing opinions in the weeks before the Kentucky Derby can be a nightmare for the casual horse racing fan. So here I summarize a few very important Kentucky Derby betting tips to remember.
Do you need to pay for Kentucky Derby tips?
It is commonly said that predicting a horse race winner or 'handicapping' is an intellectual sport in and of itself. In lieu of making handicapping one of your annual Kentucky Derby activities, there are plenty of pick or tip experts asking for your money online. So are you going to pay for some tips? No matter how many fans a pick expert has and no matter how famous he/she is, taking someone else’s handicapping advice is always a gamble. So study by yourself and don’t rely on just one handicapping expert says.
Start with websites that offer free advice and statistics for picking the right horse, there are absolutely many of them. Or if you really want to pay, choose those horse racing tip experts that guaranteed you to win versus non-guaranteed paid picks. This gives you your money back on the tip if you lose your Kentucky Derby betting.
All news has a Kentucky Derby winner opinion
Most people will tell me they love the Kentucky Derby and that they get their picks for winners from the New York Post. This is a bit of a shock to Louisville locals who tend to look at handicapper organizations specifically detailed for Churchill Downs. Good examples are Steve Moody of the Kentucky Handicapper's Sheet, Bloodstock Research, and Brisnet. Louisville is also loyal to what is printed by the local Courier-Journal.
In addition, the horse racing section of major newspapers, like the New York Times, have all of their favorite experts write once-a-year specials containing Kentucky Derby handicapping. Obviously, your casual Kentucky Derby fan will probably base their prediction on who will win from those articles and stop there. However, what about the intellectual pursuit of handicapping and getting to know the horses? Do not base your pick on the news only.Read the news and add it to your knowledge.
