No Bets today
i chipped in on the vdw thread but was ignored I'm probably not clever enough to move in them type of circles anyway i mean grown men arguing and debating constantly about something that happened years ago and not having a defining answer or somebody to actually ask about it.......... all it ever does is bring out ego, and becomes a battle of people trying to stamp there intelligence/knowledge on something and if that doesn't work they tend resort to personal trades, some new dummys and rattles are required i think !
Anyhow i mentioned Banks and the importance of them .........
i always start with 150 x 1 bank this is two fold really you have the confidence that you can just keep going and also it should be money that is stored just for betting purposes, i don't want this to become about me but seeing as if just come off the back of a very painful run its a good example i had a loosing run of 16 and got to a loss of -22 now if i was the type of punter to chase i would be probably a lot worse off , or if things had gone the other way and stopped betting due to lack of confidence and not having the supporting bank i would never get the money back, but i sat tight despite feeling a little down admittedly, and the fact i am being "ballsy" enough to post my bets here (which anyone who does should be commended and if you post on any forum you should post something including +/- figures before you offer up your opinion) but i knew due to records kept and bank in place that it would turn around long term, the fact i had a 33/1 winner which carried the same stake as my other selections is all credit to me for having the inner belief and mental strength to trust my previous work, i dare say there are not to many ave punters who would get to that point of -22 and carry on but its part of the job.
many people want to do it, many people could do it, but you have to separate yourself and be disciplined and work hard which i am afraid most don't have the patience or self control to achieve.
never be afraid to paper trade for a year or 2 it will give you a project to work on, and confidence long term, its funny people often think short terms of "how did you do today" "ive had a good week" but if somebody ever asks me "I'm having a good year" will often be the answer
i came here wanting to educate and be educated which i have in parts and i hope that process becomes stronger as time moves on.
