I have been studying numbers for 10 years now. And have been testing various stratedgies to overcome the odds and turn a profit. Some people refer to this as number crunching. If you tell most people that you can make a living from betting on anything, they will usually laugh at you and play it down. Because most people don't really believe it can be done. They see gambling as a mugs game, that will make the poor poorer and the rich less rich. Unless you get lucky and win a huge ammount in one go such as winning the lottery. And of course for the most part this is true.
I have known for the last 4 years that not only can it be done, but is almost too easy once you know certain factors. The average punter is too lazy to study and analyze anything to form a stratedgy or system (I don't like the term) that will give them a far greater edge than simply blind betting or following the usual procedures the bookmakers hope/want you to follow. I.e studying the form in the Racing post, and so forth.
The one thing that must remain loose in any stratedgy, is the money management. And this is often the part of the gamblers game/plan that destroys them, even if on paper they have a winning stratedgy. The house (casinos) and bookmakers rely on one major human failing to secure sure profits. GREED! Go in too fast and don't give the odds the respect you must. And even with a good stratedgy you can be wiped out.
With what I now know about numbers for example. It would be very tempting to put hundreds of pounds on a single number at gauranteed odds of 5/1. Knowing that 8 times out of 10 I will win a fullhouse in a maximum of 24 draws. But there can always be an Eliminator that doesn't go to plan. And that is where the respect and restraint must be maintained. I personally aim for a profit of about 3-400 pounds per week.
People who know what I do and have seen it work. Always tell me I should be betting far larger stakes. I tell them GREED is the bookmakers friend. And it is because of this restraint that when I have eliminators where the final one or 2 numbers don't drop by the 24th draw. My losses are minumum. And I will make up for them in future eliminators.
So even when you have a stratedgy that has been making good profits for several years. You must maintain that respect for the odds. And in return you will be in control of what you are doing.
