Woolf – and I am comaparing
my anualised earnings with

eventually have to use devices
like the old chicken gunThe original post is encouraging, might be a good book. But some will not believe what is said anyway.
If only you’d make an effort to understand the mathematics of betting Woolfie – you’d understand
it can be done

It can be done.
As the Lord’s Prayer says "will be done on earth"
It is done.
By Mike, me and many others.
If you can not do it, instead of blaming others, why not go find another hobby?

You hadn’t posted for a while so I assume you took my advice and went to see someone about your problem betting. It seems to me you have stopped attending the meetings. Take stock and start again, you know it makes sense
Betlarge, He bets large, he has it large, he wins large. He profits large.
No I don’t. My profits were a tiny 2.8% of turnover this summer. Nowhere near good enough.
He is content with his knowledge and his insight and his unfailing ability to nail the winners
As proven by 31 consecutive losers in mid-summer no doubt!
Betlarge,suggests a Grand at least stake, give up the pretence, you target a tenner a month profit and rarely make it.
My stake is always £200 a race (normally, but not always, split). I don’t ‘target’ any profit as that shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how betting works.
If you were Mr Large you would agree with me, you lose without inside info.
I don’t know what ‘inside info’ is. It seems such a childish, basic term. Can it even be defined?
Just another mug.
I certainly am. But I try my hardest and I never,
ever
blame the sport for my own considerable betting inadequacies. That’s just delusional.
When
I
get it wrong, it’s my fault, not horse racing’s.

You backed 31 losers at £200.00 staked per race? And they suggest I have a gambling problem. Since I don’t bet at all these days, it’s a problem that I have under control.
I guess if your selection was to be beaten by one of Mr Butler’s string, it would still be your fault. Now that’s delusional.

Christ, that was a comparative walk in the park! The last time I bet before this year was in 2009 when I had a run of
37
consecutive losers in a sequence of 1215 bets. Furthermore, in 2009 I was betting my full stake of £200 on one horse. This year, the bad run was on my main bets in a race and thus was at least ameliorated by a number of saver bets winning.
Whilst runs such as those are a real mental challenge for punters, they have to be accepted because they
will
happen. Quite why you think there’s anything unusual in such bog-standard mathematical patterns is beyond me.

Regarding the horse-abuser Mr Butler and others of his ilk, my view is simple. I know these people exist. They’re all out there – the dopers, the cheats, the schoolers-in-public and of course the downright incompetent! However, I don’t think there are enough of them to make profitable betting unviable. I believe
most
horses run on their merits
most
of the time. If I didn’t I wouldn’t bet.
So yes if my selection was to be beaten by one of Mr Butler’s string, of course it would still be my fault as at the time of placing my bet, I would be fully aware that cheats like him exist. I have to take responsibility for my actions. Nobody forces me to bet.

The missus finally handed this book over to me yesterday morning. Read it in one sitting after dinner (approx. four hours) and it is one of the best betting/racing books I’ve read. He’s a very impressive operator and it comes across as honest/no nonsense throughout. There are lots to be taken from it in terms of race-reading techniques and his opinions on each way betting have really made me look at the way I use each way betting. Very much recommended.

Thanks insideman I’m definitely going to get this, just going to wait a couple of months and get it just before the flat season starts again

Well done to you for reading in one sitting, now I know it can be done!
Struggling through a few pages here and there with this one, skipping some of the preaching, not a writing style that I’m a fan of to be honest when tackling a subject I see more numerically. It’s a nice change to see something on domestic Irish racing all the same.
