I think where BJ's theory collapses is, there is not a standout selection in each race, maybe 1, 2, or 3 a day if your lucky so if your punting on races your not AS confident in, your profit (if any) from these races will most likely be less then that of your special selections. I do however agree that punting is one continuess program and if you have a valid selection you shouldn't dismiss it because you've already won or lost on that particular day. But Stix has a valid point it is very difficult to combat the urge to get on something you remember from somewhere just for interest. I can't profess to you how to dismiss this urge as i am no hypocrite. However the best advice i can give is try and minimalise the value of these bets as much as possible, nothing worse then having $100 on a $4.00 pop you thought was a good thing, then with the winnings having $100 on an odds on pop you are a bit iffy on.
