I think I learnt a lot from the mechanical/automated selections that greatly helped me in doing the handicapping the last few days. I don't mind putting in the work if I feel I will eventually be paid for it. If this continues to work for me I may start doing this with real money and actually lay a bit higher then my automated systems do ( I might lay to lose $2 lol I know its not much but higher then my 10c for automated selections). If I spend an hour doing form and eventually generate $10 a day on my own skill I will be very happy. Because once I know I can do it then it is me against other punters and I will have proven to myself I can do it and from there I can start to raise the amount I am laying. I think phycologically this might be something I need. Mind you I won't give up on mechanical systems yet, I am just going to parrallel them with my own handicapping selections and see which does better.
