A Day In The Life: Andy Holding, professional gambler and horse racing pundit

For the last 30 years professional punter Andy Holding has enjoyed tremendous success backing horses using a unique and easy-to-use speed figure method earning him the nickname ‘The pundit’s pundit’. He boasts the utmost confidence in assessing any horse race, jumps or flat with peak interest around Aintree and Cheltenham Festival.
He continues to be Oddschecker’s most successful tipster, year in, year out and since the start of 2018 he's over 500 points in profit. Not bad.

Self control indeed... someone I know, put 20k on Liverpool to beat Watford in the league at 4/9... I don’t know football, but having been lucky to beat West Ham in the previous game, the signs were there.. apparently it was all the money he had.. if he had put 1k on Watford at 6/1.. it would better and if they had lost, well he still would have 19k left... simple economics...

@Joe Lev Joe Lev I have been around this game for almost 38 years . I owned a small stable and actually had a grade 3 stakes winner. We raced at Laurel Park , Pimlico ,Tampa Bay and Gulfstream Park. I have know trainers, hell a friend of mine is a jockey and won the preakness. I also know jockey agents who got their ass handed to them betting horses and exercise riders. There were times I knew a horse was ready. i actually never met anyone who made a living betting horses with any consistency , the takeout is to high. Wayne Lukas was quoted saying " he doesn't bet them". Good Luck!

'Specialise' One of the best pieces of advice you could ever get. Me? I focus on getting odd-on shots beaten in basement grade races. The market 2-3 minutes before the off usually tells the story. Be lucky.

How do you define basement grade? What do you look for in the market 2-3 before the off? Thank you in advance from Louisville, KY, USA

[@matthewhood4716]

@@benhill144 he's talking about bottom level races. Their classification system is different than ours. The equivalent would be our 5-10k claiming races here in the US. Those horses that go off at 3/5 because they are taking a huge drop and flop, usually because something's wrong. In the UK that can bet a horse to lose. So that's where he is making his mobey.

[@mikestv3782]

Andy's approach to betting on horses is very similar to the strategy I use for buying shares at good prices. The main difference is that when Andy places a bet he gets an instant profit if the horse wins whereas with buying shares it usually, but not always takes time before I see big gains/profits! Good lucky Andy a great video with some very sound advice!

Hello ANDY THANKS FOR GREAT TIPPING its become a habit to see what you tip even tho i dont back all of them. Tho your naps get special attention. I dont back a 4/1 ew as most of my bets are in running on betfair where a selection at those odds can be very much larger as you know in the race. So i back two horses and more in same race to mininum stakes £2. And i set it up to cover on shortie and try to win on longer priced selections. Which goes back to your if you dont win try to make sure you dont lose.

[@anthonyperrin3411]

Once in the prep stables at Plumpton my owner friend went to see the trainer just prior to saddling the course. I can still see the trainer, now dead, still remember the name of the horse, trainer said to the owner, "don't bother today Captain, we're here for the exercise, not to win". The horse was 7/2 in a field of 13. I never bet on a horse again. Nor the dogs.

[@Nautilus1972]

I can't understand putting your own money on someone else's advice. I had Saint Roi, Al Boum Photo and Chosen Mate on the Friday. I didn't see any tipster put up three winners. Where I fall down is on how to profit from picking winners. for example, it shows a docket with a 50 e/w double with two horses around the 7/2 mark. Is that a daily bet? One of a few per day? Does he back much on singles? I've taken more out of my paddy power account than I've put in, but not by much. I gave up on place pots when I realized I was getting more winners easily enough and picking the first two home in my selections, but maybe losing the placepot and not not getting anything. I don't have a system of betting. My 3 tips to live by: 1. Never back with money you can't afford to lose. 2. Don't listen to 'experts', pick your own horse and know why you've picked it. 3. Always look for value.

[@Veaseify]

@@Nautilus1972 I doubt very much Andy Holding gets his money on in a betting shop in Wolverhampton, it was just an image to match him talking about where he came from. If you try putting £50 e/w doubles on 7/2 horses in a bookies you will last 5 minutes.

[@jonglewongle3438]

I crossed paths with a guy in a betting shop who got into the punting thing and then we crossed paths 6 years later and he was into what seemed like professional mode with it. He said he credited me with the inspiration to go full on into it, on seeing what i was doing, said he had since bought the tote readout systems in the betting shops for his own home, collected his betting payout receipt cards to declare as taxable income [ " I don't declare them all, of course " ],, his woman was all over him, and, " there's my little brat ", re; the small boy, and he was in exuberance mode. This is all no bull. No exaggeration. Exactly as I describe. He did a belated quinella for a tenner then put 400 on a place bet, both of which flopped, on shorter priced runners, but it didn't bother him. he was that confident in his game, " Oh, well, never mind, " like as a deference to me. He didn't stick around chasing that.

In March, April and May 2019 I collected just over £2000 from William Hills, Corals and Bet Fred combined. The first big or decent win was from William Hills. The smallest stake I put on was £7 (£1 patent 3 horses 7 bets ) All 3 wre beaten favourite in their last race and won when I backed them. The biggest price was 14/1 The biggest stake I put on in those 3 months a was £20 double Bred from "Frankel" and both won. I back BF in all races where a BF horse is running at all meetings but do Patent, Flag or doubles, trebles, fourfolds. If there are 2 BF in a race I don't back any. I also back those from a good breed. When I do the scoop 6 I always back the same 6 horses doubles and trebles (15D and 20T) In one of those Saturdays I had 5 out of 6 in the scoop 6 and the 5th selection finished 5th. That's the system I use. It doesn't always work but on those occasions, it did.

A man's gotta make at least one bet a day, else he could be walking around lucky and never know it

[@parkerbohnn]

I made a living betting Ron Waples senior as he only went every other week with his drives unless the horse just came in from another track and he had the drive in which case he always went with that horse. The horseplayers were that stupid in all the decades they never caught on at Greenwood and Mohawk before Ron went down to the Meadowlands in the twilight of his career.

[@elastronaute1198]

That double he did that it shows at 24:08, both horses won that day. It was 6th of November, 2019. Ishebayorgrey won by a neck at 7/2 and pakarmy went on to win by 2 and a half lengths at 4/1. If he got them both with BOG and 1/5 the odds that each-way double would have paid £1,278. Without BOG it paid £1,116.67. Still, ironic that's the slip it showed and they both managed to win.

[@SumoCumLoudly]

Probably why they showed ot, he probably wrote out every combo in those 2 races, and filmed them all

[@WInnerwinnerchickendinner.]

@@SumoCumLoudly Agree edited.But he never showed the receipt after he put the money down. Also everyone who follows Andy knows of his massive losing runs.

[@Nautilus1972]

If you're backing a horse for the Derby, better to scratch off any horses that have run at wolverhampton. The derby is purely about bloodlines anyway, especially horses that were reared in the center mass of Ireland as they grew up eating limestone grass which gives the horse a stronger constitution. So horses that appear to be English e.g. North Light, were actually raised on limestone grass in Ireland.

[@garydilworth6909]

Not true. John Gosden introduces some very nice horses at Wolverhampton including I believe his most exciting 3yo in 2020 Waldkonig that is my fancy for the Derby... if it ever runs.

[@garydilworth6909]

Stephen Bidgood Yes it is a brother to Waldgeist. Obviously top breeding is important I’m just pointing out that some trainers like Gosden will run a horse with impeccable breeding at Wolverhampton. Waldkonig’s debut is on KZbin if you wanna give it a search? Very exciting.

[@jamesrav]

I haven't yet watched the video, but I assume he's relying on wisdom and intuition rather than pure statistics. Very tough to win that way, 'The Crowd' is just too good at setting odds. But with data and stats, it can be beat, Bill Benter made millions.

[@ThefightingCelt]

I also backed Jack Hobbs for The Derby , but he finished 2nd to his superior stalemate , Golden Horn , who went onto win the Arc - therefore Andy iscwrong ; Jack Hobbs had no right to win the Epsom race , allowing for the fact that he was the lesser talented and lesser fancied of the Gosden pair .

[@paulcarter5010]

Exactly what happens when u get trapped wide or blocked for a run down the straight or miss the start or caught at the back with no pace on or taken on In the lead gassing out the horse to early, there’s so many variables that’s why it’s a mugs game, their animals not machines just like us some days they don’t feel like running but they can’t talk therefore u don’t know, barely any horse has gone thru it’s career undefeated

[@sheikhando4815]

Never bet each way, for example if fancy 4/1 do£100 place at 4/5 for £180. whereas if places and on each way you'll get 1/5 of odds so 4/1 is 4/5 will return £90. can i work with you?

[@kyleprice5176]

Nowhere let's you bet places only online

[@sheikhando4815]

Kyle Price they sure do, betfair the best, skybet do, bet365 go on more markets and select to be placed.

[@hulkhogan4218]

Place betting is my preferred method with the horses. Can get great value on the exchanges. Sometimes I do 20% win / 80% place.

[@alanhaynes9672]

Unfortunately nobody will ever make money from tipsters. Not because the tipster is bad (Andy is particularly good) but because you will never get the price they put the horse up at. Over time taking the lower price will lose you the edge. For example Hugh Taylor picks plenty of winners but will frequently put a horse up for a price like 8/1 when at no point was it ever higher than 5/1. All the punters take the 5/1 thinking they are clever, but unfortunately will lose long term.

Sectional times mean nothing in national hunt. There is no accounting for gradients or differences in the ground.

[@readmylisp]

Times are ok ...if they always actually run the same kind of race all the time ...but they don't.

[@bmwthreethreefive5798]

100% right. Speed figures are useless and paid for by mugs. A race can start going full pelt start to finish or horses can canter to the last 3f and then go for it. Times mean nothing.
