Before I dispense my advice gained over 10 years as a semi-pro backer in the horse racing field, I want to offer a word or two of warning. While it might seem like a great line of business to be in, it is fraught with ups and downs, unknown variables and sometimes no matter what you do or how strong a bet looks horses that do just the opposite to what the form would suggest.

Being a pro-backer or semi-pro backer is a tough way to earn a living, therefore my advice is this. Treat your backing like business decisions, leave emotion out of the equation, don’t let greed or a lack of discipline influence your bet choices and if you can do those things, you might well have a good chance of being a successful backer.

There is however one more component you are going to need and that is a way to consistently find the right horses to be betting on. I feel it’s fair to say that is you asked most regular gamblers if they could make it as a pro they would probably say ‘yes’. It’s not true but most gamblers will tend only to remember the winners and their memory is not a sharp when it comes to the many losers.

The truth is unless you had a solid degree of understanding of the sport and all that encompasses, you are highly likely to fail as a pro-gambler. The author Malcolm Gladwell states that is takes 10,000 hours to become proficient in almost any field and I can certainly vouch that backing horses for a living is no different.

If you where to blindly approach horse racing and try to make a living from it without any previous knowledge I can imagine it would take considerably longer to make any sense of it. For example what works one day will not necessarily work the next, there are so many variable in racing to take into account before the off, and then there’s another set of variables after the off that you cannot have any influence over.

Ok, here’s the potential good news. I have spent well over 10,000 hours working on understanding racing and I have committed everything I have gleaned from others and found out for myself to paper, and it’s this information primarily in the form of two manuals that I am confident will aid you great should you wish to become a pro-gambler.

I am not saying my 10,000 hours can totally replace your own 10,000 hours, after all there’s no substitute for experience, but my work will give you a distinct and definite advantage over starting without it.

The two systems are called The Aida’s Arrow Racing System and The FACTOR 10 Racing System, they both retail at £397 each although the true value of the information contained within the pages of each manual I believe is far in excess of that. I often refer to my FACTOR 10 System as my £10, 000 system because of how incredibly effective it can be when it comes to consistently finding winners.

If you would like more information or my two best horse racing systems please contact me on 0845 468 1302 or email neil@aidaracing.co.uk, and I’ll help you in any way I can.

Alternatively if you are interested in one-to-one coaching sessions, packages start from just £997.00 which also includes the two top systems for a limited period.
