(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 16, 2013 ) Sydney, Australia -- Recent gambling statistics reveal that in a typical year, Australians lose around 19 billion Australian dollars because of betting. According to the Australian Economist, Australians lose more per capita than any other country.
Punting becomes more enjoyable if less losses are involved. In order to keep pockets secure, the right decisions should be made and each move should be well-calculated.
The owner of Champion Picks, David Duffield, shares a few principles to keep in mind, namely: (a) finding the best option, not the best one you have, (b) having a wise game plan, and (c) seeking help when needed.
In finding the best options, David says that a person should perform extensive research from a variety of sources. From the data gathered, he should make an analysis of his own and compare it to the ones done by experts on the market. Comparing oneÂ’s personal analysis to what the pros think can give clues as to whether or not the bet about to be placed has a winning edge.
In creating a game plan, David suggests that it should be well thought of. He suggests, “Take your time in designing this and putting it on paper. Specifically related to punting, create a matrix of qualities you are looking for in determining the type of race you want to bet in and the type of horse you want to back. For example, you may avoid all races with less than eight runners, or on heavy tracks, or races where there are more than three genuine winning chances, or avoid any horse that is a backmarker regardless of the likely pace in the race. By deciding on a framework for the type of race you want to get involved in and the type of horse you want to back, you can approach things in a business-like manner and avoid wasting time (or even worse, money) getting involved in unsuitable races.”
Finally, David suggests that “when you have established your strategy, get some expert advice and don't worry about trying to solicit positive comments as those areas won't be the ones that need further work.” He adds that one can benefit if he is brave enough to “get someone whose opinion you respect to play the role of 'devil's advocate' and pull your plan apart. Successful people ask for the criticism of others and consider its merit.”
