G'day CP,

Post19,Your very perceptive view on the punting psyche was spot on.....!
It is not easy spending many mind-numbing hours studying form and implementing profit-making opportunities.
But then again....who said this was an easy way to riches........?
If the individual truly believes their method is worthwhile and will win in the longrun then it makes all the effort worthwhile.
My mentor was the incomparable Don Scott whose methods via his publications, were instilled in my attitude to betting/punting at a very young age.
These have put me in good stead although I have adapted my methods as racing has changed over the last couple of decades.
Two last insights that I will share with all.......
1)class always will tell in the longterm....!
2) flexibility is the key to your approach to investing. Sometimes, "overs" on the win or place provide opportunities....then on other occasions exotic betting provides sound profit-making opportunities.
The punter(s) must remain alert at all times!

Cheers.
