Why NAPs are so desirable to regular horse racing punters

Getting involved in horse racing is quite intense, and it’s even harder to bet on at a first glance. One of the main issues that newcomers find is the terminology – something that can be hard to grasp with approaching any new sport – which is admittedly difficult to understand in the first attempt but can be worth getting to grips with when realising how exciting and entertaining betting on your own horse racing tips can be.

These given terms for different types of horse racing bet and market can be met with blurred lines over what it all means but Oddschanger are a website that take the time out to help novices in gathering a greater understanding of the entire sport in every possible aspect. They offer additional help with their array of previews, recommended bets and horse racing tips researched and provided by them in a specially designed section of their site.

 

What are NAPs?

It sometimes gets confused with other markets and far more complicated means of betting, but NAPs are actually the most easily understandable concept in horse racing. A NAP is the term given to a tipster’s most favoured horse racing in a given day, with them presumably seeing it as being the most likely one to win ahead of all others.

Most main horse racing tips websites provide their own NAP on a daily basis, even sometimes referring to them as a ‘NAP of the day page’, where you can expect to see which horse they favour on a given racing day. The odds are almost always extremely slim, with them often going lower than 1/2, but it’s a rite of passage, especially if the tipped horse wins as predicted.

 

 

Why are NAPs such an important part of horserace betting?

As previously mentioned, the fact that some horse racing tips sites offer practically daily NAPs for their followers is surely enough to show just how highly regarded they are by such a large portion of the sport’s fans. It’s gradually become a staple in horse racing betting, where even if there’s very little action for the day, there’ll always tend to be a NAP.

The word NAP comes from a French card game called ‘Napoleon’, where the best hand is self-titled before being abbreviated down to ‘NAP’. It obviously gains its correlation of being the most desirable hand in the card game, as well as being the most desirable horse to back in terms of horse racing.
