Golden Rules..

[Systemight]

As the majority of us are awaiting the "real" racing to start again,i wondered if Punters Lounge members would like to join me in putting up one "Golden Rule",that they would advise to newcomers of the sport to help them to make their betting pay?.   Out of everything I’ve learnt about betting over the last 8 years, there is one thing that stops people winning more than anything else.It’s nothing to do with bankroll management, which bookmakers you use or any of the usual things. For some reason people think they have not yet discovered the best system or strategy. If they look hard enough, a better system for making money is out there.We naturally believe that somebody knows a “better way”. People that act on this belief are constantly searching for a new and better strategy. They get sucked in to every fad going. Buying method after method that promises them something new,it rarely works.This is what the best professional bettors do. They don’t get caught with the latest magic bullet. So my "Golden Rule" is... Find a method that you are comfortable with.Promise yourself that you are going to stick by this method through thick and through thin,Revise it three months down the line and see where/if you can make any improvements.Only abandon it once all avenues have been exhausted and you feel it is not profitable to continue.

Simple one for me is always take the best price. Take the time to shop around. It can make a big difference to your profit and also minimise your loss if things aren't going right.
