Horse Racing Systems – Be Like a Soldier – Disciplined

It may sound boring but to turn betting into a profitable pastime a punter needs a high degree of self discipline. By this I mean that you need to adopt a business like approach to your gambling activities. In other articles I have discussed the need to set aside a suitable betting bank and this is the first step towards a business like approach.

Most punters treat gambling as hobby and just a bit of fun. And of course the book makers are quite happy to go along with this. They believe that all they have got to do is put some kind of betting opportunity in front of people and they will rush to take it. The sad thing is that in many cases they are right. That’s why in every
betting office you can bet on numbers, lotteries, ball games, racing from all over the globe with horses nobody has heard of before and even now computer animated, or as they call it, virtual racing.

The second stage after setting up your betting bank is to select a system or systems that you will follow. Of course the problem is which system to select. Some of the sellers of systems make preposterous claims about the profitability of their systems and from what I can see the price charged seems to have very little bearing on their success rate.

I belong to The Betting School private members site who post out a monthly 30 page newsletter which reviews most of the latest systems and as well as finding several useful systems to add to my portfolio I have also been able to avoid some of the time and money wasters.

No matter were you get your system from, (and remember that you can access many free systems from the Internet) you should paper test them for at least one month. This means that you make only imaginary paper wagers for 30 days which gives you any opportunity to test the system and get used to operating it. As you can imagine, this can call for real self discipline, especially if the system is coming up with winners in the first few days.

If you went into your local bookies today and asked the punters present how much they had staked on gambling in the last 3 months and how much they had won how many could tell you? I would be surprised if any of them could.
To be a successful punter you will need to keep records of all your bets so that you can tell exactly how much you are winning or losing.

So by adopting a professional and serious approach to your gambling you will become more disciplined and this will separate you from the majority of punters. If you do this I am sure that you will soon notice an improvement in the returns that you get for your efforts.
