The Racing Horse

Like all professional bettors I experienced the ups and downs of betting. Over a very long period of time and, without realising it, my betting evolved into something more mechanical and mathematical. My strike-rate improved further when I followed logical predetermined criteria before placing a bet. It improved again when I finally accepted that keeping honest betting records is an absolute prerequisite! Finally, I brought under control everybody's arch nemesis - I managed to shackle the emotional and disciplinary aspect of betting. I use the word 'shackle' because the emotional and disciplinary never goes away, it is always there lurking in the shadows! I then accepted the way one deals with the emotional aspect of betting, bridled with sound money-management, determines how successful one is at betting. Racing is all about opinions. The eBook contains obvious assertions and some not so, where we can expect many bettors to disagree, but the hope is to convey a certain pertinence in areas not generally recognised.
