Hello all,
Was wondering, we all have our methods of selection, be it ratings, selection services, tipsters, or just your gut feeling. There are a myriad of races on Saturdays to choose from. You could rate all of them, but how do you filter the bettable races? How do you decide on which to bet?
Being mindful of the essential Money Management requirements, what are your methods of controlling your money on the day?
Do you put your bets on all at once?
Do you chain bet?
Do you have a percentage profit target for the day, and cease betting when that profit margin is achieved?
Do you bet on the overlays (according to your prices)?
Do you Dutch bet your top 3 or 4 selections?
Do you bet according to your assessed price percentage?
I know it’s a personal preference thing, and I’m sure most of us (me included) have tossed around in our minds how to approach the day’s racing. How do I make a profit from the maze of info in front of me? Win betting? exotic betting? How much should I commit to my selections? When should I stop?
I work five days a week, getting home just after 5pm every weekday, and (like most of us) Saturday is my main target for trying to turn a profit. Having just the one (or 2 if you include the low races on Sundays) race day to profit from places more pressure on you. Your selections may be spot on, however, if you don’t bet them correctly, you could end up down the punting gurgler!.
I’m interested on what you successful punters do. Whats your mantra for achieving a consistent return from this very hard game?
