yes i so agree with that. i have lost or more correctly not won over $100k in the last 12 months by either
1. doing some "personal laying" i.e not betting a selected horse because even though everything i calculated indicated it would be a selection i have left it out because it came up a bit long in the market and/or
2. not getting organised and putting my bets on in time.

re #2 i had a D&M with myself and tried to work out why this was so and i concluded that it was because i had subconsciously concluded that a bet missed was a bet saved. so many times i have missed the first couple of daily selections only to see them romp in a good prices.

both 1&2 seemed to happen if i am punting bad around it.

so as the man said get you head in the right space - now i just punt on like a robot and ignore as much as i can the performance.

for example- I think i have lost or broke even everyday this week - so overall down and had a rough day yesterday. i then got the night time bets going - lo and behold - first bet at gowran park ( ireland) calls for a $480 bet - my unit size is 80 so that was a bit outside my comfort zone - but i remembered my wise counsel and closed my eyes and put it on. 2 hours later it wins at 8-1 and i am closer to being up for the week..

so off we go again.
