Jack of All Trades Master of None
Jack of all Trades, master of none. A phrase that we have all heard many times but it has never been a phrase to compliment anyone, no matter what your profession. If ever there was a saying to sum up the long-term chances of making a profit, let alone a living, from punting and gambling on the horses this is definitely it. If you are not a Master then the chances are slim.
Being a successful gambler or, taking the gambling out of betting, has always been about superior knowledge and gaining an edge. Given the information overload everyone faces these days, the answer is to specialise and that’s where the team at RaceBiz come in.
Most successful punters concentrate on just one code of racing. So where should you as a punter concentrate? One idea from this patient and long term form student is to follow one code. And for the team, this is only flat racing, mainly in Victoria, because that is the one code we know best. The trainers, the jockeys, the tracks and most of all the horses. Follow the good ones!
With so many race meetings and different racing codes, keeping up to date with all the information is a physical impossibility.
While the vast amount of data available these days is daunting, it is also a huge help to those who wish to become experts at their trade to find regular betting opportunities. The major problem these days is that people are time poor. And this means they are punting without fully analysing the data and making value bets.
RaceBiz will do the analysing for you – join now and reap the benefits of letting the team do the work for you.
Bookmakers employ “experts” to price up races, and in most accounts before they wag their tail and publish their pricing, they will take into account what the exchanges are offering as their prices are more accurate. This is where good analysts can utilise the information available, and help you make money from punting. At Racebiz our selections always include assessed odds and this gives our members more value for every race. Whatever your interest, making a profit is the name of the game.
One of the secrets to making a good living at punting is knowing when to go in and have a bet. We place great faith in our judgement, and find that the thing that eludes most punters is patience. Too often, it’s this hunger for action does most punters in. Slow down and take your time. One of the team’s specialities is to concentrate on proven stables, and when they put money on the horse it is ready to go.
So, instead of jack of all trades and master of none, you can see how you can turn this around to become the Master of your Trade. The key things are to specialise, analyse and be patient. Pick out an area of the game that you enjoy following and that you understand and then focus. Become the master of your Trade.
