If you are thinking about becoming a professional punter, here is your chance to learn from one of Australia’s most experienced professional punters, Larry Taylor from Elite Racing. Elite proudly boasts independent industry recognition for professionalism. The 5-STAR MIDAS CHOICE RATING is the highest possible rating from racing’s independent racing watchdog. In this how-to guide, Larry explains what to focus on and what mistakes to avoid. Get your professional punting career off to a good start with this quiet word with one of the best in the business.
I had a deep interest in horse racing from a very young age, keeping statistics and recording tips for Melbourne and Sydney racing from the age of about ten.
There are serious databases these days with masses of information available at a click for every racehorse.
Once you are fully committed to doing what it takes to win, it is quite easy to set aside a betting bank and bet small percentages on each qualifying bet. It is the absolute resolve to do what it takes that sets professionals apart from everyday punters.
Novice punters make mistakes every step of the way. Not keeping to a betting bank is the most common failing, but not having a strong selections plan, not having or applying a staking strategy, betting on hunches, chasing losses, plunging, second-guessing selections, and, therefore, missing winners are just a few other tragic but common shortcomings.
The more racing-industry knowledge, the better. Studying the statistics and idiosyncrasies of jockeys and trainers is important. Knowing the layout of each racecourse, including race-start positions, distance to turns etc., is vital if you want to approach punting professionally.
That is not a problem when you have committed to apply that bank. The stakes are in the same percentage range all the way along, so there is no change in pressure or increased stress. This is the difference between being a professional punter and someone who dabbles. By taking a disciplined approach, there is a lot less stress.
My private algorithms take into account what type and distance of race, and the racetrack as just a tiny part of the whole. Betting can be successful in a wide range of race types and distances if your selection process has all the variables covered.
Losing streaks come along at any time, regardless of how strong a strategy is long-term. They are tough to handle mentally and test whether your commitment is real. If you believe in your selections and staking, then you will tough losing streaks out. The reward when you have done that and ride the next winning wave is one of the greatest thrills of professional punting.
Having passion is a great start. But unless you believe it is possible to turn that dream into reality, then don’t start. If you do have the passion, you would have already spent countless hours studying form and honing all the tools to become a pro punter. If you are planning to develop your own strategies for selections and staking, then expect a long apprenticeship. You will know when you have the package. Alternatively, you will need to find a reputable and leading racing service for your base information or, if you learn to trust their methods, tap into that valuable information. What you can conceive and believe, you can achieve.
Horse racing in Australia is always changing. The past ten years have seen more change than ever before. Tracks will be upgraded, redesigned, or disappear. Race programming will always be tinkered with, especially with the NSW/VIC rivalry. But overall, the changes that come along from time to time are easily accounted for and are not as disruptive as one would think.
Our algorithms are designed to calculate the value of the bets according to the myriad of variables that are considered for each race. Profitable bets are identified by a simple process of elimination. Most horses will have negatives that make it safe to discard them. It is not that hard to pit the positive contenders up against each other to find the main bet/s in a race.
There are hundreds of factors to consider, and every race has its own set of ‘problems’ that the algorithm has to solve. Each variable – like going, distance, track, barrier, jockey, current form, long-term form, comparative form, times, sectionals, and many others – is considered and quantified for every horse in every race.
Our main approach has always been Win betting. For us, it is the Dynamic Duo: Winning selections combined with small, graded percentage bets.
We have access to a database that details the complete form for every horse racing in Australia, New Zealand, and other overseas locations. Drawing on this mass of data, our algorithms take a race field and sort it into accurate rating selections based on our methods. This provides an amazingly strong base for us to personally evaluate using decades of experience and knowledge.
Our database keeps meticulous records of all horses, jockeys and trainers, and each one is assessed daily and allocated a performance rating. Punters would be surprised at some jockeys at the top of the ratings. Horses are all allocated Rating/Class figures. This figure changes after each race and is a starting point of the rating process.
When punting is a passion, there is no such thing as overload or lack of focus. It is a “hobby” that pays well, and every day you appreciate that. To be able to pass it on to budding professional punters via a successful racing service is a source of great pride and something we never take for granted. After all these years, we still jump out of bed every day with great anticipation and expectations.
It’s time to elevate your punting success and enjoy the confidence of expert-backed tips. Join us today to minimise guesswork and maximise your returns.

A horse is scratched when it is withdrawn from a race before the jump, typically due to injury, a veterinary failure, or a trainer’s decision based on the track condition. This removes the runner from the field and usually results
Handicapping is the process of quantifying hundreds of variables, such as track condition, barrier draws, and sectional times, to assign a performance rating to every horse in a race. Professional punters use these ratings to eliminate runners with clear negatives
