Anybody recomend any horse racing betting systems that have a good strike rate??
yep, have a bet on the first race of the chosen meeting, say a pound on the favourite of the first race, now if that favourite wins, just pick up your winnings and leave that meeting alone, if the favourite loses then double your bet on the favourite of the next race, again, if it wins then pick up your winnings and leave the meeting alone, if it loses then double your bet again and put it on the favourite of the next race and so on, you will not lose, have a look at the results for all meetings, it is very rare indeed that at least one favourite doesn’t win at least one race, well it’s a sure fire winner, try it and see. Good luck.
From Horse Racing Systems Review
The above is an interesting but I believe misguided answer. If you go to a meeting with 6 races and the favourites lose the first 5 races your betting would be:P
1st Race £1 2nd Race £2 3rd race £4 4th race £8 5th Race £16
On th 6th race you would have to stake £32.. If the last favourite is odds on you may not even make a profit on the day. My advis eis to avoid any system that involves doubling up.

There aren't any.
I did leg work for a few seasons for some pro gamblers, they all had their own computer programmes. Which required long hours of input every race day, and strict betting procedure. 'Guaranteeing' around 10-12% return over a season, provided the ratio's of Q's, QP's and TT's were adhered to. Takes a fair bit of outlay before you see anything come back.
The returns were around 5%, which didn't cover the overheads. And they couldn't keep their fingers out of the pie anyway, always betting their 'gut' as well as the programme. So they had the same strikerate, just employed three extra people and bought an expensive computer programme. But they swore the programme would work the more information was inputted – so they kept going year after year (yawn).
Gamblers have to believe in something, it's part of their make-up.

I don't know about a betting system, but a good start would be to look only at feature/stakes/big $$ races where horses are out there trying to win the race. Then go through the performance lines and pick the horse you think stands the best chance of winning. Limit yourself to tracks you know, where you have a good indication of the track/trainers/jockeys/owners. Thus, you limit the amount of races you bet on as well as choose only races that will be competitive. Plus, the $$ usually is in those feature races.

If you have the time and patience to wait for overlays to develop, you'll do alright. I hit double digit scores this morning betting horses that were favored on the morning line in late races at Thurles and Lingfield, but had somehow dropped to 9-1 and 7-1 at post-time. The longer priced horse was Ruby Walsh's 3rd winner of the day, as well. Completely senseless. You have to figure that the morning line oddsmaker knows something, so when the public goes against him I go back to him.

There are no "systems" that gaurantee results. It takes long hours of study and handicapping to cinsistently win, and even then it takes a little luck.
Buy the track program and study the past performnces of every horse and every race. If you can afford to lose some money, make minimum bets on your favorites. If you can't afford it, just watch and learn. Pick winners, see how they do, and then go back and look at the porgram the next day and see what you missed about the horses that did win. (Sometimes a horse wins on a fluke, but mostly there is something in the previous races that suggests they could have won.)
Once you get a feel for the programs and tracks, of you don't already have one, go to the library and check out every book on horse racing you can find. Read them all. They may say contradictory things. Find what makes sense to you.
Then you must start assigning odds to horses entered in a race. If a horse is a good value, i.e. the potential payouts are worth the risk, bet it. If no horse is a value, don't bet the race.
You may go entire days without betting, but when you do bet, you'll win often and you'll win decent payoffs.
Keep track of your bets and payouts and study them. You may find that you have a 15% return on bets in claiming and allowance races but a 10% loss on stakes races. That suggests leaving the stakes races along and just betting claming and allowances.

The only beting system that truly works is the one where your put your sweat equity into it and not someone elses. You must be patient to find the right bet, one that offers a value.
You have to be willing to put the time in to handicapping a race, even with out placing a bet.
I think intution or gut feeling plays into it also, sometimes you have no logical reason for choosing a horse, even after you've hanciaped the race, it just looks right, to you, play some money on it, more times than not, the horse does come in and opften at a good price.
I hit one yesterday like that… I had what seemed to be the obvious pick, for my p3 p6 bet, but went with my gut that the race was going to play different for a win bet. It did. The horse was 11/1 at post time.

Sorry mate, there are no systems that consistently work over time. The best way to win, is get inside information and lay the horses that you'll find out, they do not want to win in certain races!
