"I have never had so much success (or fun) with the punt. Thanx heaps and great
punting to all!”
"I am very appreciative of the efforts that go into producing this outstanding information."
The Yankee bet, as I revealed last issue, can
be enormously rewarding. I pointed out how the mighty Statsman had raked
in thousands of dollars in profits from his Yankee bet selections in
the past couple of years.
His performance is a matter of public
record, his selections having been given on our telephone services. It's
time now for YOU to start having a go at landing the Yankee.
Before
I suggest the 'perming' of selections, a quick resume of what
constitutes a Yankee:
In this series of articles, Denton Jardine and
The Optimist chat about ideas for successful trifecta betting. As the
series continues, we will also be bringing you the ideas of various
experts from around the world.
The Optimist (TO): We were talking
in the last issue of PPM about creative multiples. My view is that if
you cannot get the field down below seven likely winners it’s too hard.
True, you may miss a good payout, but, assuming you have a favourite and
another favoured horse in your seven, you risk receiving a very
moderate return even if you win.
The late Don Scott once wrote that the
best form of exotic betting is the trifecta. I think he was right. Don
said picking a trifecta winning bet was a test of skill rather than a
game of chance. Punters who seek value, he wrote in his book Winning
More, will find it more frequently in trifectas than anywhere else.
There IS value to be found but it will be found in a creative approach.
In
this series of articles, I’ll pass on my own views about the trifecta,
and also those of my colleague The Optimist, who has much of enormous
interest to share in regard to this particular betting form.
Slash the field to one-third, and go from there! That's the crux of the system I'm about to talk about.
It's some 30 to 40 years old, but it remains a steady winner-getter. Why? Because it concentrates on the horses that are usually the best in the race, those at the top of the weights (in handicaps, anyway).
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.
