"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."
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.
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.
Betting
against crowd is something we have talked about many times in P.P.M.
In this article, Alan Jacobs tells how Dennis Walker, of the Rating
Bureau, shoots for windfall with his exotic bets.
The fact has
always been crystal clear that to win at betting on racing you have to
value. In other words, you try to nab winners that are falsely paying
more than they should be paying! Easier said than done.
Dennis
Walker has plenty to say on this subject - and he should know. He
regularly strikes big divvies, especially when betting trebles on the
Queensland TAB.
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:
Back on June 15, Statsman hero of so many great
system creations over the last 20 years - achieved what many say is the
impossible dream.
In his 00555 telephone selections, which
accompany the Jon Hudson Factor tips, Statsman correctly picked the four
winners for his special Yankee bet.
