I’ve been
pretty good this week so far, although there were 2 minor blips, I backed a
strong Ben Coley (Sporting Life) bet Ernie Els
for the Hong Kong Open Golf (Decent first round at least), and I’ve just been
suckered into backing a horse at Uttoxeter called
Tashkaldou after receiving a bit of inside information
from an old friend. Apart from that though, I’ve been good and put no other bets
on at all. I know these are bets which I shouldn’t have put on, but Rome wasn’t
built in a day, and I will get there in the end.
To avoid
impulse punting from today onwards I shall record the racing and watch it at the
end of the day. I kind of do feel that when watching racing/sport live, I get a
real strong feeling of elation after a winner, or despondency after a loser,
which can and has led to additional bets or the punters worst habit of chasing
losses after a loser.. Chasing occasional (very) leads to the money being
recovered, but more than often results in heavy losses on bets which have no
actual basis and are just destined to lose. I’ve done the recording thing on a
weekend, but will now be utilising it on a week day as well.
I’ve also
managed to start doing some exercise when I get home from work, some light
weights and cycling, so that’s another positive to rejoice. Works not been bad,
no major dramas and a few site visits, but I am still keeping my eye open for a
new contract role, permanent with its awful annual leave allocation is just not
for me.
For the rest
of the week, there might be a couple of small bets on Nick Morden’s picks for
the week, there will be Valuebet on Saturday,
and I am going to start punting the Betalchemist picks, albeit at a nominal stake of
either £20 win or £10 e/w to begin with. This service which I have monitored has
shown good results which hopefully will continue. Its mainly early priced horses
at the big meetings, so its fits the racing and format which I like.
I am still
monitoring the Steve Jones Daily Bargain, which started off with 2
losers. I’d be looking for at least 3 weeks’ worth of results however before I
part with any money.
Well that’s
its from me now until next week, hopefully with tales of a great weekend and
loads of profitable bets.
