Have fun, enjoy the thrill of the chase.
Keep it simple, if it becomes hard work....forget about it.
Always back your own judgement.
Never chase losses.
Have fun.
Be ruthless in your analysis of your system or handicapping.
Accept the good luck with the bad.
Have fun.
Keep records.
Look for value.
Read everything you can on systems and handicapping in case you spot a 'jewel' you can incorporate.
Have fun.
Aim to make a certain profit (%) of the bank, bank the profit and start again.
Think outside the square.
Rather than chase more winners, back less losers.* Profit over strike rate any day.

*This last point I have found important. In a system that I developed many years ago, it had a certain winning strike rate and profit. By tweaking one of the rules, I lost 2 winners but also 5 or 6 losers thereby increasing my profit. From memory, the strike rate was lower. I am currently trialling this system once again. It works on maidens, 2yos and highweights.

Cheers, Rich
