HOW NOT TO BE A MUG PUNTER
Betting should be enjoyable,” says UK professional punter Alan Potts, but he’s quick to add that it can be “a miserable experience if you are losing and have no idea when the next winner will appear.”Potts is right. This is a great game, but it’s a cruel one that exposes weakness and cowardice, and can punish risk-taking while at the same time rewarding it.

It is often said that there is a narrow band between winning and losing at the races. Get on the right side of that band, even by just a few percentage points, and you can make a good living.
Slip off the other side, and you’ll wind up a loser. Stay in the narrow band and you might battle out with an even settling. Professionals know all about the narrow band.

AGAINST THE CROWD
One of the great challenges for any punter is to decide when to back a favourite. Making the wrong choices can spell doom for your betting bank. Making the right choices will give you an edge that may just enable you to wind up in profit over a season.As well as deciding not to back a favourite, you will often be called upon to decide when to actually back another horse against the public elect. The longer the price of your selection, the more you will be betting 'against the crowd'.
