hello & welcome to my blog

Firstly, I’ve learnt over the years that betting is hard. If I can help others become more profitable, then great. 

For anyone who’s ever had a serious go at betting I won’t need to explain the pitfalls. Stop reading now if you think that betting is easy. Losing streaks are inevitable, I strike more losing bets than winning ones, losing days are common, losing weeks happen as do losing months and years. There’s a whole article I’ll write on why not setting yourself targets and making each individual bet on its own merit is healthy for your long term profitability.

I’ve found when searching for online resources and reading that there is a real mix of quality available. There’s some great sites, but they are outweighed by the explosion of social media tipsters. I believe there’s space for more quality contributors.  

I wanted to help myself. In the past I’ve penned previews on some of the principal meetings for a small group of family/friends. I found that writing down my thoughts clarified my own thinking and improved my decision making. In writing this blog I hope to improve myself in these areas.  

I enjoy writing, albeit I don’t think I am particularly proficient. Writing this blog gives me a good opportunity to try out some new ideas. There have been times in the past few years where I’ve come close to searching the job boards. So, when thinking about the prospect of writing a CV it occurred to me that a blog, ‘this blog’ could be the best CV I could ever write. What a great way to promote yourself?

I have the time, one of the real benefits of what I do. Primarily I focus on flat racing. In the winter months when there’s little quality racing outside of the weekends and the major festivals, then I have time on my hands.

Finally, the chance to explore some opportunities, learn some new skills and to diversify and supplement my income. I’ve never built a website before, I’ve got this far and am learning along the way. I need to understand SEO marketing. Are there affiliate opportunities? What other opportunities may present themselves?
