A change of direction

Well I am off to the races tomorrow…..Southwell to be exact. Not exactly the best of tracks but I have a few reasons for being present. Firstly someone owes me money who I am looking to see and secondly, there is an horse that I will be looking to lay substantially on the exchanges tomorrow but I need to see it first hand in the parade ring and approaching the starting post before I make my final decision.

Anyone who knows me understands that I am also an avid sports bettor although I would say that the number of sports bets that I have in an average year is probably in the 40-50 range. But when I bet or lay something then I dont muck around but this adds to my income at the year end as my selectivity makes my tactics successful.

This is the same with anything else, alot more people out there could be successful sports bettors if they only had less action. This striving to get into action is also what kills alot of poker players as well and it comes across equally so in sports betting.

There is definitely money to be made on the exchanges even though Betfair now represents the most accurate tissue in the industry and especially with the horse racing and football markets. Just because a poker game is populated with good players doesnt make it unbeatable now does it? I would say wish me luck but luck really doesnt enter into it……if I do my money in then it will be my fault and no one elses.
