pete above honest self appraisal lends itself to related discussion. I am very disciplined and clinical about all aspects of my betting, nothing to Crow about but rather for myself a case of needs must and hard earned. Horse race betting is teeming with traps contradictions and temptations, and perhaps before you can start to feel any confidence about beating the odds you first need to learn how to beat yourself. ?
Just to clarify before the Wags step in masochistic behaviors are not my thing, but i note many punters who when matters are not going to plan are all to willing to blame anyone or thing other than themselves when a better solution might be to identify and learn from there own mistakes. Thinking back over my own close to 50yrs involvement the best lessons i learnt where those which cost me money at the time.
While not an easy mind set to obtain imo Mr Ego should be shut in a box indeed the very worst time to let him loose is during a purple patch when he starts to tell you hey we have this game sorted. This is why my contention is that in this game there are no expects just a minority who have made themselves better learners.
Re the grind involved made more so during the down draws perhaps i am fortune but i maintain the thinking that what ever is occurring it seldom gets or feels boring. The only aspect which takes the rub off for myself is the attitude and MO of many current day Bookmakers but i am not going to expand on this because that would be boring. !
