TEN GOLDEN RULES OF SUCCESSFUL BETTING. PARTE 2.

	Ten golden rules of successful betting Part 2 6.  Bet only in situations where you think you have an edge. If everyone else knows what you know then you can be sure the prices for your "sure bet" will be at their lowest.  You may make a modest profit this time but betting this way over the longer period will never bring you a consistent profit.  Look for horse races or other bets where you think the odds on offer are more than they should be for the true likelihood of winning - call these "Value Horses" - and you'll have profits to be proud of over the longer term. 7.  Don't let strange results throw you. As I said in part 1, there is no such thing as a certainty.  So you need to make sure you are not thrown by turnarounds you were not expecting. If you are following a really good race horse that gives you great expectations and he meets an unexpected defeat, don't let that one event put you off backing him in the future.  Week in week out, favourites that have been beaten last time out come home on their next outing.  It infuriates punters, but they only have themselves to blame.  Take time to analyse an unexpected defeat and you may well see that a good opportunity is still just around the corner whilst the less wise majority have given up on him. 8.  Look for situations where others are betting emotionally. I said in part one that you shouldn't bet with emotion.  However, there are opportunities when you can see that others are doing exactly that. In times when everyone is looking for instant gratification there are plenty of times where punters are too easily deceived by a single good performance.  Often the press will start writing up the chances of a two year old racehorse for the following year's Derby or Guineas after only one or two good performances.  So punters will then start backing ante-post on emotion only.  On race day however, you may well find better value with other runners. On soccer, London teams are often at shorter prices than the should be simply because so many of the country's fans live in the capital and will emotionally back their home sides.  You can profit from the folly of others. 9.  Plot a strategy Get a strategy and stick to it.  Don't bet on whims.  That doesn't mean you should be inflexible but do bet in a structured way. If you place small bets for fun on weekdays then at least try to take your weekend bets as a serious business with heavier wagers.  Better still 'though, cut out the "fun" bets altogether.  Ultimately there's far more fun in consistently winning than haphazardly losing. 10.  Enjoy your betting To put it another way - just know when to STOP.  Keep a check on yourself and always try to be honest if you ever feel that betting is running away with you.  A long losing run tells you you should change your system.  If you've followed the other rules 'though you won't gave got into a situation where you are painfully losing money.  Be prepared to stop and take stock.  Betting should be a pleasure - but not an adrenaline rush.  If you ever feel you need help to get back in control, take it sooner or later.  Gamblers anonymous.
