Before we delve into the picks, let's have a quick refresher on one of Raymond’s renowned wagering systems – the “Double Dutch” Betting system. This method involves placing bets on one horse to either win or place in a race. Suppose the selected horse finishes second, depending on the odds, bettors can reclaim their stake. This system affords a higher chance of return and is a great strategy for those seeking to play it safe.
