First, it is best to restrain your online Kentucky Derby betting to the horses you like with win odds of 5-1 or more, or place odds of 5-1 or less. Furthermore, stick to straight bets as much as possible, and keep to "win" and "show" type bets when betting straight. These two guidelines have mostly to do with ratios of success of specific odds and specific bets. In terms of percentages these 5-1 guidelines for the bets mentioned are optimal.

Expert horse handicapper Arthur Bodley of 1800-Sports.com has returned for the 2011 horse betting picks season. Over the years, Arthur has made some exceptional predictions. Let's see what he can do for the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic betting action. "After winning five out of six starts in 2011, trainer Larry Jones confirms that Havre de Grace is ready for Saturday." Arthur Bodley continued, "Owner Rick Porter has an amazing horse and after a good workout on Monday, I really like her chances to be the second filly ever to win this most prestigious race!" Find all the Breeders' Cup betting odds and have fun watching the 28th running of the Breeders' Cup World Championship!

Before you do your online Kentucky Derby betting, take a few moments to surf the net for the horses' stats. Anticipating promising bets from such information is known as "form handicapping", a worthwhile procedure which presents you with factual information as to which horses are the most likely to win. The flip side to this, however, is that the best horse is not always the favorite horse in that with so many people betting on the "sure thing" such online Kentucky Derby betting offers less value. Keep your eyes open for the underdogs, or rather the dark horses that have excellent chances but which, for some reason or another, the spot-light ignores.



Finally, do not let the numbers hem you. Part of the charm, and really part of the success in online Kentucky Derby gambling is knowing when to risk it on the horse you love. Oftentimes that feeling in our stomach is strangely connected with the spark of the horse. The only caution to this final tip is to not let betting from the gut become an all the time gig. If you are always betting from the gut that feeling ceases to be special and actually loses you money in the end. With that said good luck and enjoy the races!
