So yeah just any tips, whether or not it is ever worth going for the place or any systems which you think would work would be greatly appreciated.
Take care,

Welcome Ryan (kitch).
You are 18, so have plenty of time to fully enjoy betting, racing and making a profit.
I wish I were 18 again and starting with the knowledge I have now.
A couple of suggestions:
Start off with very small interest bets, do not bet up big after a win or a loss UNTIL you are confident that you have a winning method over a long period of time, not just today's meeting.
RESEARCH!
As with any financial investment, you need to research data and history to see trends and winning strategies.
However, if you just want an interest and a bit of fun, then devote a small amount to betting and when you win, go have a nice meal and a few beers and enjoy it. |
