I know so many people think it is impossible to beat the bookmakers.
It's not easy, but it is very possible. Remember, that betting on the horses is skill based. It isn't like fixed odds, where the longer you play the more you lose. In the world of skills - the more you know, the more you win.
Use these 10 Secrets To Beat The Bookmakers:
1) Niche -
You cannot do everything, know everything or even need to have such a mindset. There are simply not enough hours in the day to cover all aspects of the sport. Even within horseracing, you should focus on a specific niche. For me, it is two-year-old horse racing. It is much more efficient and beneficial to know your niche. Why? Because you will instantly know more than most. If you know more, you can win.
2) Focus -
Always focus on what it takes for a horse to win a race. Always look in the right direction. If you lose, assess why you lost. If you won, assess what made you win. Each result is helping to guide your understanding. Follow that path and let it direct you decision-making rules.
3) Mindset -
A positive mindset is an answer to so many questions. Learn the basics of your niche and progress.
4) Bet small -
You don't need to bet a fortune to win big money. Bet small to hone your skills. Before this, paper trail. You are betting to win and that starts with your foundation of knowledge. If successful, you can soon increase your stake with the bookmaker's money.
5) Discipline -
In truth, discipline should be number 1 on this list. Without discipline, you have very little hope of making your betting pay. You need to bet with understanding, logic, reason. You need to have a plan for how you are going to bet. Why are you betting? Does this horse fit within your understanding? As the phrase says: ''The wise man built his house upon the rocks.'' For good reason. The basis to your knowledge is the foundation it rests.
6) Don't Bet For Buzz -
Betting can be fun. Winning is better. I would quickly make the distinction between fun bets and those with understanding. To be honest, you really shouldn't bet for fun. It never turns out to be a good move because you are betting with your emotions rather than logic and reason. Emotions are irrational. The word irrational doesn't detail any aspect of stability. That's what is needed to be a successful gambler. Betting for the ''buzz'' is a mistake. The idea of fun betting is, sadly, what most people do all their life. They may think they are betting in a logical or professional manner but they are not.
7) Wait -
Patience is a virtue possess it if you can (they say always in a woman never in a man). If you're a bloke who likes to bet, then find a little patience. Why? Betting is often about waiting for the right opportunity to bet. Every race within your niche is a possible bet. If you don't have a niche everything could be a bet. That's not good. The best betting opportunities really do speak for themselves. Don't look for bets. Wait. Wait a week if you have to. When a good bet comes along it will stand out from the crowd. It's an important part of your discipline, focus and mindset.
8) Routine -
It is important to have a working routine. How you work, think, assess, bet, re-assess. A routine becomes part of you to the point of being a habit. This saves you thinking too much because you are actually thinking without thinking...and the logic part just helps you focus when needed. A working routine can make a huge difference to your success. It will make you efficient and reliable.
9) Confidence -
Do you bet with confidence? If you are losing all the time you will not be betting with any aspect of confidence. Your results will tell you to work harder, focus, learn, understand and take tiny steps rather than giant leaps. You cannot learn everything in a day. It is a process that never stops. When you get to the point of betting do so with confidence. Even if you feel a touch nervous know in your mind you are very good at what you do. Trust that long term you will win. Use that understanding to boost your confidence.
10) Make It Fun
Betting to make money can be a challenge. The workload can be heavy and often tiring. All too easily, it can become hard work and you lose the reason why you wanted to bet to a professional level. It has become a job. Find a way of working which makes what you do fun. Don't focus on all those little things that don't really make a difference to your betting. Use your energy wisely. Bet and make it fun. Watch the horses and enjoy the spectacle. Enjoy your successes and appreciate your understanding to win. You have achieved a level of success very few punters will ever attain.
