The 2010 Royal Ascot meeting will be one of the biggest betting events of the year. During the meeting more than 1.5 million television sets will tune into the action on the BBC whilst another 300,000 horse racing fans and punters make their way through the Ascot turnstiles.

The huge interest in the event translates into enormous 2010 Royal Ascot betting markets. Much of the money pumped into the betting markets is put there by casual fans without much experience in betting, which in turn gives serious punters an excellent opportunity to earn top dividends on their bets.

The availability of massive amounts of ‘dead money’ does not, however, mean that Royal Ascot betting is a cinch. Many of the Royal Ascot races are run over short distances with big fields, and many are handicaps to boot. On our Royal Ascot betting pages we’ll discuss some of the tips, trends and options available for you to make the most of your Royal Ascot betting at William Hill.

2010 Royal Ascot Betting Tips

  • Previous form is your best guide. When betting look to horses with recent wins, experience on the Ascot track and familiarity with the distances being run. This can sometimes be difficult at the Royal Ascot meeting as many horses are coming off winter training; however, paying attention to poor form in pre-race meetings allows you to separate poor performers from potential winners.
  • Don’t ignore the odds. In non-handicap races the odds on offer are the product of careful research and expert knowledge on the part of the bookies. While it sometimes pays to back your instincts, keep in mind that a short-odds horse usually has an excellent chance of showing, and paying dividends on bigger bets.
  • Pay attention to the handicap. Horses carrying more than 11 stone rarely win major races. At the Royal Ascot look out for horses carrying 9-10 stone as this weight will usually raise the odds without necessarily doing damage to a good horse’s prospects of finishing placed.
