Testimonials
"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."
SUMMARY
New look at the selection conundrum
FACTORS TO PLAY AND AVOID
I know that one of the biggest pleasures I get when handicapping is to take the coloured pens (coloured pens are an infallible sign of a good handicapper) and cross out certain horses – obliterate them from consideration.Handicapping has so many grey areas that a mechanical method of contender elimination has a liberating sense of decisiveness.
SUMMARY
It pays to do your homework and learn . . .
TRICKS OF THE TRADE
In all the year’s I’ve been betting I have never found two punters who think alike when it comes to analysing and dissecting form.Each person seems to have his or her own “starting point”, whether it be kicking off with course and distance winners, or the favourites, or the topweights and so on. And after that, their form study can go zig-zagging all over the place.
SUMMARY
The horses are just part of the game
HANDICAP YOURSELF
Gordon Pine, the noted US handicapper, wrote recently that if, as a punter, you are not “handicapping yourself” then you are actually handicapping yourself!
What he meant, of course, was that if you don’t look after yourself as a punter then your whole betting activities will be handicapped. To put it more clearly, perhaps, badly affected.
SUMMARY
Take the plunge and try something new . . .
HEY, THIS IDEA MIGHT WORK!
Never stop looking for new ideas! This has always been my credo as far as racing is concerned, and it’s something I work at day and night.Many’s the evening I settle down with a set of results to comb through them to see if there are patterns to be detected.
SUMMARY
Trim those fields down to the right size
