Virtual horse racing events at the traditional virtual horse racing tracks such as Portman Park, Steepledowns and Sprintvalley are effectively lotteries or lucky numbers draws. They are based on pure chance. Those selections that are offered at shorter odds are simply represented more frequently in the draw. As an example, imagine a game of bingo where there are three number 4s in the bag. This would make number 4 more likely to be drawn than any other number. This would be the equivalent of the favourite in a virtual horse race. As there is no skill involved in determining a possible winner, there is also no value to reading the 'form' and no individual can possibly possess any skill or knowledge that might give meaning to virtual horse racing tips in this instance.
However, not all virtual racetracks are the same. There is one exception to this rule and that is the unique virtual racetrack at Newturf. What makes Newturf different from those virtual events shown in bookmakers' offices and on their websites is a human element. While the horses may be virtual, the owners of these virtual equine athletes are real. They are trained by a human trainer and are ridden according to a riding plan determined by a real person. It is entirely possible that one owner may be more skilled in preparing his horses than another or that a jockey might make an error in judgement in choosing his riding tactics. What this means for the punter is that there is value in familiarity with the factors that contribute to determining a winner. The more relevant information you possess in terms of statistics and other data, the better equipped you will be and the better your chances of correctly forecasting an outcome. This also means that if a tipster possesses greater knowledge or skills than yourself then there could also be value to their virtual horse racing tips.
