and when you say maybe you should try this pro punting thing. maybe you should? but i suggest keeping a strict record for at least 1,000 bets and keep track of how to outlay on each selection. If you are good at maths you could do this easily! figure out a progressive staking plan after you have recorded 1,000 selections. it may seem alot of selection but in the longterm it will help. you can see where you make you're profits and where you lose. it can help create a progressive staking plan which can minimise losses and maximize profits! it's all maths! if you know you can hit 3 winners in a row or at least 3 placings. you can make a staking plan involving using the winnings of the last net but keeping some on the side for "safe profit" look at your strike rate! how long can you stretch the progressice stake? 3 bets? GREAT! progressive stake for 3 bets! but after three go back to the original stake! and do that everytime! no matter how sure you are it will win. if you win one race. progressive stake the next. if it loses go back to the original stake and so on. This is a great way to maximise profit without getting carried away going for 4 striaght winners! take note of everybet you make! look at the price you bet at! figure out you're average winning price. if you feel you can snag 3 in a row at that price go for it! but remember losses happen. and this is where a clever staking plan based on a strike rate can rake in the best results
