in 40 odd years of betting I think the hardest lesson was to think in terms of 1000 bets, YES I mean 1000 not even 100.

Because our bets go on daily it's hard not to think in terms of todays result, but the only thing that matters really is "how did we fare in the last 12 months"?

You can lessen the impact though if you think of each days betting as ONE BET!
What I mean by this is say you have 8 bets today, and you back say, a $5 winner and a $7 winner, then your result for the day is $8 on $12 back so 1-2 for your money, etc etc.

OR, if you unfortunatly mix the size of your bets then think in terms of Total stake today say $16 return $20 so have backed a 1-4 shot, get it?

But be warned it will certainly bring you down to earth sharpish!
