"Who to trust and what to look for"

liquidity wrote: I have studied thousand of hours and used all the different publications trying to find the winning formula for winning consistently.I had some good winning streaks and some long losing streaks.lol.However something has always bugged me,no matter how hard you study there are to many variables in horse racing so on the day anything can go wrong and the most important thing is that we would never know the trainers INTENTION for that race ie could be prepping the horse for a bigger stake in a months time but to you the studier its the right horse for that race.

A large percentage of punters have lost their families, homes, friends, jobs etc etc due to the addictive nature of gambling. The few that last, treat gambling as a means of enjoyment where winning or losing is just part & parcel of the game.
I have been punting since the age of 16 or so, I have never had a job despite being a qualified lawyer. I struggled, for many many years to win at this game. I studied form, relied on "tips" even looked for horses names that correlated with my dreams the previous night lol.
I lost many millions in addition to all the above, considered suicide many times, & wished & prayed that I never started in the first place.
Luckily for me, an act of god happened, 7 years ago, I was in the right place at the right time & "cracked" it for huge money. Spanish lotto.
Today, my beloved wife controls our finances & keeps me on a tight leash.
Apologies for waffling on but understand that I am the exception.
If you have an addictive personality, stop immediately. If not then you can study form from any publication, & listen to all tips etc. Just dont pay anybody anything for information.
There are some fantastic form analyzers on this forum to get you started, Frodo, Colin Dav, Warren Laird, Dean321, Mr Hawaii & many others. Top tipsters include Deano, Sammy Silver, Young Generation, Zain, Kenzo etc etc.
In conclusion, welcome to our game, treat it as a fun challenge & nothing more. Good Luck & enjoy !!!
