SUMMARY
Secrets of the pro punter
WE'RE NOT GAMBLERS (Part 1)
Ask
any professional punter if he's a gambler and he'll say NO! Most
punters look on themselves as business people. They see their bets as
investments. They set long-term goals, and they try to run a disciplined
day-to-day program, cutting out risk as much as possible, and getting
the best deal they can.
Phil Bull, the founder of Britain's
Timeform organisation, used to say: "Those who bet for fun are unlikely
to get their entertainment for nothing." What he was saying is that
betting for fun is a form of entertainment, like any other, and
long-term success demands a disciplined approach.

MAKE YOUR LUCK (Part 2)
Alf Sorbillo, an American punter who made a fortune betting on
the Californian races in the 50s and 60s, used to tell anyone who asked
for the secret of his success: "I made my own luck.
By this,
Sorbillo meant that he worked so hard at making his betting pay that
Lady Luck just happened to flow along with the blood, sweat and tears.
Today's punters of the 90s would do well to heed Sorbillo's dictum.
Hard
work in punting, as in business, tends to make its own luck. Few
millionaires got that much money by luck alone. To get the luck they had
to position themselves to take advantage of it.

EXACTA SCIENCE
A professional punter I know reckons the trifecta remains the best way to get big profits on Australian racing, but he says the exacta runs a close second.He warns, though, that “exacta science” is definitely not an exacta science!
With this form of betting, you need to select the 1st and 2nd horses in the correct order. With a quinella, you have them in any order.

QUINNELA CAPERS (Part 3)
Betting the exotics is something 99 out of 100 punters do every raceday. Quinellas, trifectas and, in some areas, exactas are increasingly popular. They are just as popular in other countries.
American professional David L. Christopher tackles the problem of exactas and quinellas in his best-seller Winning It The Track (Liberty Publishing, Florida, USA). He talks mainly about exactas - as they are the most widely used form of exotic bets in America - but he says his ideas can be equally applied to quinellas.
SUMMARY
Flying high with the new exotic lure
EXACTA EXTRAS
Professional punters who once scoffed at quinellas as a 'serious ' method of wagering are changing their tune now that exactas are becoming the 'in thing', especially on the NSW TAB.
They say exactas are nice little earners if they are played properly. In fact, disciplined bettors can make good profits by playing exactas instead of straight win bets.
