Betting for over 40 years. Picked up good winningson straight line bets mainly PA. Recently I have started the Bipot and Pic 6. Picked up over R3000 when the Bipot paid around R300 for my R10. yAlways take a percetage one and a str line one. Lucky at Fairview mainly. Then I chose a race to bet in for swingers, trifecta and quartets. Like on Sat I played the Race where Same Jurisdiction won. SJ was not part of the main discussion post race. I took the que from the Clanners - I think it was Winning Post that made a case for SJ. Picked up a healthy trifecta and quartet dividend and no other bets. I stop betting when the horses I pick do not come home. Wait for the next meeting since luck is running out. Think if you can't catch a bet on a small outlay you never going to catch one on a big outlay (unless you tring a perm on the pick 6 or so).
Today I gave up when the banker I did in Race 6 failed.
I am by no means a professional punter. My experience has come from playing the game. You must also learn that there is no racing certainty - how many favourites end up running out of the exotics. In this game you need luck.
If luck is running out take a break. Gamling can lead you to your grave. Treat it like a sport and work on a budget. Do not spend more than you can afford.

I hope this helps.....

Lucky Dude, I would imagine my consecutive losing bets would be well into double figures. If 9 is your worst then that is not too bad. I have streaks where I cannot back a loser and other where if I backed a horse in a one horse race the jockey would fall off.

When I am on a losing streak I try and have a small break from gambing.

has been playing for this long and all in all if I must be honest in total my loses are much much more than I ever won

Honest reply James - I think maybe I'm 10% down or up over 35 years- Not a massive winner or loser over that time

I do post when I see anything I like...not a everyday occurrence though...I had zero consecutive losing bets yesterday as I didn't take any bets...Flamingo Park too much of a lottery and speed ratings (that I follow) not very reliable on sand / poly tracks...
