How to tip at Belmont Stakes races with an operator outside Ireland

When betting on the Belmont Stakes or any other horse race from an operator outside Ireland, it's important to follow a few steps to make informed predictions. Firstly, familiarise yourself with the horses, trainers and jockeys involved in the race. Research their history, past performances in similar races and recent trends. Track conditions, distance and other environmental factors play a crucial role, so make sure you take them into account.

Use online resources to access expert analysis, horse statistics and predictions. Horse racing websites, specialist forums and social networks can offer relevant information and advice to guide your predictions. It's also a good idea to check the odds and previous bets to assess the favourites and outsiders.

Looking at recent performance trends, previous competitions and any changes in the horses' training or conditions can offer clues as to their current form. Take expert advice, but do your own analysis to support your choices.

Finally, set a budget for the game and bet responsibly. Choose your bets carefully (winner, place, show, etc.) according to your level of confidence in the predictions made. Bear in mind that betting involves risk, and that caution is the watchword.
