@sspp,

You are right in stressing  the point that  a punter must  not stop betting  or change  his  selection if  the  odds  of  his  choice goes up. To win  from racing a  punter has  to  develope handicapping  'skill' and  device  a  'betting  strategy' to  get  a  positive ROI. If  these  2 'parameters' of  racing  are mastered  a punter  can  win  regularly  from  racing by  betting  on  2 or 3 races  or  all  the  races  of  the day - even may  sustain  his  livelihood!

To  prove  my  point, for  next  15  days  till Invitation  week, I'll  post  my  choice  in  the  tips  thread  of  this  forum  and  hope  to win Rs. 25,000 during  this  period by  bettinng @ Rs.2000 on  every  race.

Finally, handicapping  skill and  betting  strategy are  the  key to  make  money  from  racing... 

Hi Friends, Quite surprisingly, I came across a couple of posts here raising strong suspicion over my conduct. Only because I keep writing about racing, where I had a lot of passion as a journalist for close to 20 years, these HT friends doubt my credentials, to the extent that they feel if I am speaking lies. One person (Dynamite) even accused me of visiting race course regularly as he wanted to know how otherwise I knew 'War Hammer' was offered at 3/1 opening odds and the same drifted to 33/10? Come on, all these inputs were taken by me from writers like you who commented under different topics here soon after the Derby race. I have only one tongue and even that doesn't twist. Why should I lie to my friends here? If you people are really getting upset or irritated by me, please tell that so that I get out of HT forever. Casting aspersions on others is a cheap tactic and you will feel the pain only when others do it against you. Thank you

Someone is more punctual and attentive than the regular punter.. lolz

Dear SSPP,

You picked a nice subject...but...my comment is very simple 

a brahmachari must clean his mind and thought's , if he dream's sherdil chopra he is not at all brahmachari....you seriously thinking about racing ...nice 

Dear SSPP,

I always love to read your topic...

finaly I found that still you are coming in course may be not every day but deffenetly selected day you are going to visit course, you didnt stop yourself.....You have passion about this game.....thats why you are always posting somethings and you reading, replyed to other. 

Its happen in racing whether 'BET OR TO BE NOT BET' its all about confidence... Its always happen with me also.. but before entering into the race course my selection has final and i always used to played that selected horses only doesn't matter what's Odds or field or paddock..... 

@ SSPP, How do you know that war hammer opened at 3/1 but went upto 33/10? It raises a serious doubt that you left racing.  And plz. dont say that you saw it on some betting website.  Becuause website odds are far less and what you are telling is ring prices.  On second thought, now you would say that your friend told you. Lol

Very much relevant. 

I remember the advice of a senior in Madras Race Club ( you can see very many seniors in MRC whiling the time, not betting but liberal with Gyan). 

He admonished me to not look at the odds but concentrate on picking the winner.

Once you are firm about your selection , then look at the odds to decide to bet or not. 

I still remembers the advise.

Dear SSPP

Thanks  for your suggestion. I am really surprised that these suggestions comes from a person who have left Racing altogether. 

My experience you should not do any calculation or taking decision at the COURSE. Do every thing at Home only select your Horse and dont change it   Book makers always mislad the punters It is their job  to survive. We have to realise it. 

My suggestion is best way to follow frquently winning jockey like Suraj Nareddu or Sandhesh  or Trainer Suleiman Attaullah etc. Even if your horse fails also no problem because they are will win soon or later. This is practically working for me  my loss in Races are very negligible by this method

Best Regards to all
