WHY PUNTERS LOSE ?
It is said
that horseracing is a ‘game of
skill’. Yes , it is. But many punters
do not agree, because they
can not differentiate
between ‘game of
skill’ and ‘betting
skill’.
To win a
game a player must
be proficient in that
game, knowledgeable, able to adept
quickly and easily to a situation and
KEEPS ON LEARNING till ‘retirement’ from the
game.
Does a often ‘losing’ punter ever
follows all or any
of these simple and basic
rules?
I can say
with conviction and with my own
experience that a ‘often losing
punter’ NEVER follows any
of these rules.
At present, horse racing
in India consists
of two parts -
racing as a sport to
win by trying to
prove the superiority of
breed, breeding methods, training
methods, riding skill and
few more; the second
part intertwined with it is
BETTING which has overpowered and neutralised all components of the
first part…
Why and how
it has happened – the reader
must find out himself to
remain viable…
Spoonfeeding will
not help!
Few months back , an
intelligent, knowledgeable person
opened a thread
- why present day punters lose , are more confused inspite of getting
all info, data, reports etc.
which was not
available in olden
days – before 2000…
More than 100
responses were published but NONE
could point out
the reason or offer
a remedy…
I entered racecourse
in 1973, betting
tenners or twenties
on DAYS BEST as per
the race book and over a
period 20 to 30 years
must have lost
500k to 1000K but like a stubborn ‘mule’ did
not give up…. Carried
on
improving my system, methodology, betting strategy etc. and
started getting ‘EVEN’ with the
adversaries…
With no professional
backup , no previous knowledge, no
connections, no information or advice I did
survive and started recovering ( only
from 2003) my lost ‘money’ after losing it more
than 30 years in 70s,80s &
90s because there
was no internet,
no help and no advice from experts or
novices…
My stubborn attitude has
enabled me to become
a winner from a perpetual
loser by realising that
TO WIN AND
MAKE MONEY FROM
RACING a punter must
have BETTING SKILL and that has
to be learned , understood and constantly improved to remain in
winner’s circle…
