Even the best laid plans can fail when betting on horses!

Resources

Use every resource available to you, but always keep an open mind as things change in racing on a daily basis. Any form information that is instantly recognizable in the Racing media often won’t be profitable, as the punting masses will also see it. Any value is likely to be destroyed by over betting. Instant positives/negatives about a horse will cause it to steam or drift very rapidly. The masses only look for the obvious when betting on horses. They rarely take into consideration any information that needs a closer inspection. Ultimately this is where your advantage lies – make sure you use it!

Sentiment

There is no room for sentiment in betting – Just because a system produced a profit in the past there are no guarantee that it will do so in the future. Don’t hesitate to discard a system or method that is losing cash regularly.

Planning

Successful punters make long term plans, but they know from past experience that even the best laid plans can fail for a number of reasons, especially when betting on horses; therefore it’s always wise to have a contingency plan. Take a long term view with your betting but don’t make false assumptions that you have the betting game completely sorted for the near future. Monitor performance making necessary adjustments as and when they arise. A Decent sized betting bank combined with a simple low risk staking plan will guide you through any trouble water that lies ahead.
