Who are Darren and Brett Carroll?<\/h2>\n
\n

Each month Betfair runs an analysis of all tipster data for that period and ranks tipsters across all three racing codes on Profit, Winning % and Lay strike rates.
\nConsistently amongst the top three are a pair of brothers who have become a trusted source of racing knowledge and analysis in the Victorian Harness space.<\/p>\n

Brett and Darren Carroll have years of experience, growing up in a sulky and taking in Harness racing knowledge since they could walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are lifers,\u201d Darren Carroll said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth sides of our family are racing participants in the trots. We would have been going to the races in a pram. Dad had horses and we\u2019ve had them ourselves. We grew up with them from Day one. We went to trials and have been heavily involved in the game and have loved the sport for life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Carrolls produced a 7.9% profit on turnover and a 69.4 unit profit over the previous racing season and Brett spoke about the joy that comes from tipping people into the right runners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can help people, we are more than happy. We are keen to share the knowledge because there is money to be shared,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

THE FORM<\/h2>\n
\n

The Carrolls discussed what goes into reading form, with a mixture of the old school methodology, and the modern use of data analytics and resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a combination of a lot of things,\u201d Darren said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would have watched every trial in the state prior to a meeting. 10-12 years ago I\u2019d go to most of the trials. But now they are accessible online for everyone. You would probably watch a replay of the last start or the last few starts depending on the barrier draw.”<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery race you are doing your own version of a speed map. Using sectional data etc.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brother Brett agreed, discussing the importance of building your own knowledge base.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need a bank of knowledge up to date because things can change quickly. A key runner could be scratched which changes everything and you need to be able to call on your bank of knowledge in those times.”<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus Horses aren\u2019t machines, drivers are human so you have to factor in all of those things as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

COLLABORATION<\/h2>\n
\n

Like the Waugh brothers getting together and being immovable for opposition bowlers, the Carrolls combine their knowledge and speak regularly about how to approach a meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith eight or nine meetings a week it\u2019s a lot of horses and a lot of races,\u201d Darren said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t keep a database per say, but we do discuss every meeting every day, and touch base and talk about things. We might come up with different angles and we do miss things, but the cross reference should help eliminate the things we miss. But at times we might rate a trial differently for example.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brett spoke about the relationship lending itself to the honesty that is required to get the best outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing brothers, we can say what we say and move on. We\u2019d talk daily. But the strength we have is years and years of doing form the same way. It\u2019s amazing the consistency we have in our thought process.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

THE BETFAIR JOURNEY<\/h2>\n
\n

\u201cIt must have been the later part of the 2000s,\u201d Brett said when discussing when he came to use Betfair.<\/p>\n

“I loved Betfair when I first got into it. We enjoyed the chance from the start to get clear price edges over the tote.\u201d<\/p>\n

Darren\u2019s journey was similar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started using it fully in 2009. I remember going to an internet caf\u00e9 before the inter dominion and putting on bets. So, the ability to use your phone these days is incredibly valuable with the app.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

WHY BETFAIR IS ON YOUR SIDE<\/h2>\n
\n

Since turning to Betfair, the Carrolls haven\u2019t looked back.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s rare for punters in general to only use one account, some have up to 30 corporate accounts, but we love Betfair. The later you wait the more likely you are to identify if a market is wrong, and you have so many options from there.”<\/p>\n

“You can read if a fluctuation is right or wrong and work out if you lay a horse. I\u2019m big on backing and laying runners in the same race.”<\/p>\n

“I love that right in front of you every time Betfair will give you your profit and loss on any given bet. It\u2019s a great tool.”<\/p>\n

Brett finds benefits in the fixed prices and the ability to bet late when liquidity is high.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mostly bet with Betfair. Generally speaking, the fixed price markets are better. More than 90% of my bets would be on Betfair and that\u2019s been the case for a long time.”<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, 90% of my bets would be late bets. The liquidity gets quite high in the final few minutes.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe odds are better on Betfair. It\u2019s an equitable system and a platform to share opinions and to play to those opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Darren discussed an example where Betfair can be used effectively for punters who like to bet in-play. He referenced a horse called Aldebaran Pete who ran at Shepparton a number of years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis horse was prone to making errors but also settled very quickly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought he had 100m on this field and was so much better than them. We thought it would gallop and wanted it to gallop just after the start so it would get out to a price straight away and we could back it in the run. We used Betfair to our advantage through our knowledge of reading a race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

ADVICE FOR PUNTERS<\/h2>\n
\n

DARREN CARROLL<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a firm believer in finding something that works for you. If it works for you, stick at it. You don\u2019t have to do what everyone else does.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are starting out, you can use the calendar. For example, they race at Shepparton every Tuesday. My advice would be focus on one track, form, drivers etc and get across the information related to those meetings. Once you\u2019ve mastered that you can move on to other venues and expand.”<\/p>\n

BRETT<\/strong> CARROLL<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFind a product. It\u2019s so rewarding, whether it\u2019s AFL, Trots, Gallops. I might look at only 2000m plus races and come up with a strategy for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Darren said, build expertise slowly and see each race as an opportunity to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

With a lifelong passion for harness racing, stemming from their early days growing up immersed in the sport, the Carroll brothers bring decades of experience to their analysis and predictions. Known for their impressive track record, including a 7.9% profit on turnover and a 69.4 unit profit in the previous racing season, they combine traditional methods with modern data analytics to offer insightful tips. As advocates of Betfair, they value its ability to provide clear price edges and flexible betting options, including backing and laying within the same race. Their collaborative approach and deep knowledge base continue to help punters make informed decisions and find value in the racing markets.","url":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/author\/darrenandbrettcarroll\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45201"},{"taxonomy":"brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand?post=45201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
