How to Use AmWager Pro %

A Step-by-Step Guide for Smarter Horse Racing Bets One of the worst bets in horse racing is boxing all the selections you like, or in other words, putting an equal weight on each horse or combination’s chance of coming in. After you are done studying the race you will undoubtedly form opinions. You could choose to pass on the race (always a good choice if you don’t have a strong opinion) but if you decide to bet, AmWager’s Pro % will help you effectively use your money and decide how much to bet on each bet or combination of bets.
 
This tool gives every bettor the power to assign a percentage (%) value to each horse they like that is equal to that horse’s chance of winning. You enter percentages based on how confident you feel or how much of your budget you want to spend on each. Then AmWager handles the math and builds a bet that reflects your view of the race. It’s the kind of technology the big computer assisted players use, and it is now available to everyone with a free AmWager account.
Mastering AmWager Pro %
Boost Your Horse Racing Winnings with Advanced Betting Strategies

Using Pro % is simple. You don’t need spreadsheets or coding skills. You just need to know what you think and how much you’re willing to bet.

  • 1. Pick the wager you want

    It could be a simple Win bet or an exotic wager like a Pick 4.

  • 2. Choose your horses

    Pick the ones you like and then give each one a percentage. That could be based on how likely you think they are to win or just how much you want to invest in them. If you want to take a stand against a horse, simply assign it a value of 0, or leave it blank, and it won’t appear on your bets.

  • 3. Let Pro % do the work

    The system takes those percentages and builds every possible combination for your bet. Then it applies your budget in a way that matches your opinion. The stronger your opinion, the more money goes toward it.

  • 4. Place your bet

    Once you review the combinations and feel good about them, hit submit and you're in the game.

AmWager Pro % Explained

Level the Playing Field Against Computer Assisted Wagerer (CAW)s in Pari-Mutuel Betting.
 
CAW bettors have been using math and automation to dominate betting pools for years. Most players can’t compete with that firepower. But now they don’t have to.
 
AmWager Pro % gives regular bettors the same kind of edge. It takes your input and uses a smart algorithm to spread your money across the ticket. It’s precise. It’s fast. And it uses your opinions.
 
You don’t need to guess how much to bet on each combination. You don’t need to split tickets, include favorites you don’t like, or overbet longshots. The tool does it right for you, based on your own input. That means better efficiency and a more professional approach to your wagers.

Unlocking the Power of AmWager Pro %

Allocate Your Betting Budget Like a Pro
One of the biggest mistakes bettors make is treating every horse equally. When you like one horse more than the others, your money should reflect that. Pro % lets you do exactly that without any guesswork.

 

Let’s say you love one horse and kind of like two others. You might assign 70 percent to your top pick and 15 percent each to the others. Pro % builds combinations that match those weights and spreads your total budget
accordingly.

 

The result is a bet that looks like what a serious player would put together. And you did it in just a few clicks.

This tool isn’t just for experts. In fact, it’s perfect for newer players who are still figuring out how to bet smarter. Pro % makes you think about how confident you are and how you want to structure your money. That habit
alone will make you better over time.

Start simple. Use the tool on a race you care about. Pick a few horses. Assign basic percentages. Learn how the tool spreads your money and then watch the results. Over time, you’ll get sharper. You’ll learn what works and
what doesn’t. And you’ll stop wasting money on bets that don’t reflect your real opinion.

How Does Pro % Work?

Pro % takes the percentages you input and goes through a multi-step process to calculate your best wagers. The Process varies a bit between multi-race (or horizontal) pools and single race (or vertical) and is outlined below:

  • Step 1: Using input probabilities to generate a probability for every possible combination of the wager.
    • For Multi-Race pools this is R1% * R2% for a Double or R1% * R2% * R3%, for a Pick 3, etc.
    • For Single Race pools the first leg % is used as is. Then the 2nd place/leg is determined by removing the probability of the first runner, reweighting the sum of all remaining probabilities to 100% then using that as the probability of the 2nd runner. 3rd does the same removing both of the prior etc.
  • Step 2: Determine probability floor and drop combinations:
    • Probably floor is 100% divided by the total number of possible combinations in the bet.
      • A Win pool with 8 runners is 100/8,
        • For greater clarity, in the instance above if you allocate a 10% chance to a runner, it will not be included as 10% < 12.50%
        • If you allocate 13% or more to a runner it will be included in your proposed wagers
      • Exacta with 8 runners is 100/(8*7)
        • For greater clarity, in the instance above if you allocate a 10% chance to a runner and 15%, it will not be included as 1.50% < 1.79%
        • If you allocate 15% to two runners, it will be included in your proposed wagers as as 2.25% > 1.50%
      • Pentafecta (aka Super High 5) with 8 runners is 100/(8*7*6*5*4)
      • Pick 5 with 8 runners is 100/(8*8*8*8*8)
  • Step 3: Allocate minimum wager amount to all remaining combinations starting at the most likely.
    • Some combinations may be dropped here.
    • Your total investment and the base bet of the pool have implications.
    • For example, if there are 100 remaining combinations at a $2 base and you allocate $50 you will only get 25 out of 100 possible combinations.
  • Step 4: Allocate remainder of funds to all combinations proportionally to probability (Dutching) this will lock in similar payouts for all probabilities.
