Your Own Proverb

[Steeplechasing]

I just realised I made up a sort of modern day proverb while posting on TheTinMan’s thread when I said, “Tis a rare punter who knows his weaknesses, and a rarer one who acts on them”. Not quite a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but it set me wondering what proverbial advice might come from this forum’s wise heads?

I eagerly await a few from gamble.

Well Jack, or Joe, to be more accurate, I am lead to believe you are a fella of some literary discernment, and that being the case, after a lot of late night thought and head scratching, the very best the hanging judge can raise himself to, at this time of night, or indeed morning, and in the earlies, and in the circumstances, is this little beauty…

Tis a rare punter who knows his weaknesses, and a rarer one who acts on them.

To avoid disappointment have no expectations.

The more I know the less I understand.

I will continue in the racing theme.

To come out alive, intacta, and with spoils from the betting markets often known as the bear pit or shark pool, you need the five virtues.

The cunning of a fox
The wiseness of an owl
The obstinacy of a mule
The patience of a tortoise 🐢
and above all the generosity of spirit of a dolphin.

The surrealism of a gamble
The reasonableness of a Richard
The eclecticism of a Gladders
The narcissism of a Chezza
The terror of the notorious BigG/HDLG Brothers (they run Glasgow)

There’s five to be getting on with, but I’m only really just getting started….

Early to bed
Early to rise
Makes a man healthy
wealthy and wise

Late to bed
Late to rise
Burlington Bertie
is on a high

The Annual afternoon shoot

He’s provided beer on tap
but where is Bertie at ?
Oh he’s under that tree
Just taking a nap.

If you’re a two pound Bert
it don’t matter you can’t
lose your shirt.
If you’re a high stakes Kate
bet late for connections
to fill up their crate.
Betting too early
could alter your fate.
Generosity of spirit
it’s never too late!

I know my expert tipping cost you a wad of cash today, but if you cup
both ears carefully you’ll probably hear that I don’t give a f*c-k.
