Tip 1

Take A Breather

Spend this time going through your bets and

checking whats working for you and what isn`t .

It may just be a week or two away from betting

but it will be time well spent.Then when you

start agian make sure you dont fall back into

your old habits and to make the most of your

new insights.

 

Tip 2

Dont Be Greedy

Value never lasts long and if you mess around

looking for bigger and better prices for your horse

then what inevitably happens is you miss out and

end up taking a shorter price than you had wished

for.If you think there is value in your bet...get in

there at the double with your wager!

 

Tip 3

Never Sulk Over Bad Bets

We have all done it,lost our head in the heat of the

moment and made terrible decisions that have lost

us money.We must quickly dismiss these bets

from our mind,learn from them and move on.

Just dont let it effect your next bet.

 

Tip 4

Dont Be Too Over Ambitious

Do not expect to be rich from gambling overnight

and be be drinking Pina Colads on some Caribbean

Island in a few short weeks.Beating the bookmaker

takes time and effort.You may make limited progress

to start with but if you keep going and analysing your

betting a fantastic living can be made from this glorious game.

When things do turn round for you and the regular profits

come its definately worth the wait ,believe me!

 

Tip 5

Stables Second Strings

Excellent bets can be found when a stable jockey has

preferred one horse over another.Most punters will lump

bets on bigtime thinking the jockey has some inside stable

information and the horse is ready to bolt up today.

Jockeys make mistakes just like punters and very often

pick the wrong horse.I have made myself a hefty amount

of cash backing stables second strings at big odds when

on course and so can you. 

 

Tip 6

Follow Stables In Form

When  a stable hit form winners can fly in at massive prices.

They usually come in and out of form in short bursts ,so keep

your eye open for stables hitting 30% winners or more over

the last ten days.One method I use frequently is to spot trainers

who win the first race on the card and follow the rest of their

runners for the day blindly.I have backed winners up to 66/1

doing this and had many many across the card doubles

and trebles etc.
