The Race Advisor - Where Bettors Come To Win

What is the 10% to trade method?

The 10% to trade method is simple. The qualifying horses that we have selected do win around 33% of the time, as they are at the top of the market. With this in mind, we can place a small bet at BSP to profit further.

If you are trading with £20 stakes, then we simply place a £2 bet at BSP. This doesn't affect our trade in any way. If we were to be trading with £100 stakes, we would place £10 bets at BSP and so on.

The idea being is, that as long as we can turn as many profitable trades as possible, we will be making small profits. However, when we get a few winners into the mix as well, we can turn this small profit into something really worth having! 

What if the trade goes wrong?

There will be times when the trade does go wrong. This could be for a number of reasons; the horse has sweated-up in the parade ring, or there’s been a jockey change. It could be a change in the going, or another horse has been gambled on. These things are almost impossible to predict, unless we're constantly watching the media, and sat at our computer hour after hour. 

There is, however, a way to trade our selections should they go the wrong way. This is completely normal, and to be expected, in any type of trading/betting. 

The idea is, that with the 10% to trade method, we have a better chance of coming away with only a small loss. 

If our selection does start to drift, we need to make sure that we trade out before the race starts. Do NOT be tempted to let the trade go in running. It might get matched but, in the long run, this will more than likely eat into our longer-term profits.

If our selection starts to drift by more than 15% we need to lay our trade off with the same stake as our back bet. The calculator will show you what price to lay at, and remember it needs to be the same stake, should the horse drift in price. You can see that in the image below:

Having placed the back bet and the horse goes onto drift, we then need to place our lay bet as per the image below:

This means that if the horse doesn’t win the race, we lose nothing on the trade. We will lose our bet at BSP but, with the winning trades, these losses won’t matter.

However, if the horse should go on to win, then we will lose our trade, but the money we make from the BSP part of the trade will mean that we’re either into a small profit/loss, or at breakeven. 

The idea is that although we do get losing trades, in the long run, the winning trades will far outweigh the losing ones.
