"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."
Last month we left
off at the point where I was raving (again) about the Graham Swift
novel, Last Orders.
It's the only novel I can ever remember in
which the author really seems to understand what is going on inside a
punter's head.
I include people like Dick Francis when I say that
most people who write about racing are only able to speak from their
own viewpoint when it comes to punters.
This
article is an extract from Steve Fierro's best-selling book The Four
Quarters of Horse Investing, which is available from book stores on the
Internet, including www.netcapper.com
and www.todaysracingdigest.com.
How
much will this cost? How much will I make? How will I get paid? The
three questions I present above must be answered. You have worked your
way through quite a process. You have laboured in earnest to build a
successful horse-investing portfolio. You deserve the answers to those
questions.
Jockey Jim Byrne hasn't been around much in Australian racing these
last few years. He was mostly in Macau, booting home his fair share of
winners.
This year, though, he's returned home and is based again
in Brisbane and I'm tipping that when the carnival period arrives he's
going to be the jockey to watch. Byrne's one of the very best in the
business.
I have
seen lots of dashing gamblers in my time. Some have even hit the
headlines with their betting coups but if we take the group as a whole,
few of them were able to "see out the distance".
That is, they
went broke or they retired in the knowledge that if they didn't then
they would go broke. In the same period, some 25 years and more, I've
known many professional punters who have beaten the game. A few have
retired with money intact. Many are still doing it.
This is the final part of our series
featuring the views of UK professional punter Alan Potts, one of the
most highly-regarded pro’s in world racing. This article takes the form
of a question and answer session.
Q: Alan, what’s your view about
“value” as it’s talked about so much in betting?
