Today's Horse Racing
Yep Still all day yet... just have to keep my expectations in check after missing out on that.
A long(ish) article on the state of US horse racing - https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021 ... ng-survive?
It's always confused me thinking along these lines, more so when spectators and on course bookmakers aren't on track.
If there is a gamble would you say the next one is more likely to take place at the same track rather than whichever race is next? I noticed they were only happening at Pontrefact one day recently, but I recall people mentioning on here how punters would traditionally rush to the bookies counter to get their next bet on presumably whichever race is next.
Is a subsequent gamble more likely to happen if the previous one won or lost? There could be FOMO or loss chasing
Thing is it happens that quick how do you take advantage of it? Most of the time markets already gone before the race has even finished.

Don't believe everything you see on the internet.Snaff wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 7:20 amNot sure what YT is mate? At the end of the day it’s a highly efficient market so the is no wonder we struggle. I’ve only really seen Caan and Peter produce serious profits pre off. How they have an edge over so many people is what baffles me. Talk about it so openly, video’s etc… but don’t seem to lose the edge?
I've had to work really hard over a large number of years on data collection, strategy, psychology and execution. So trading feels really natural to me.
But YouTube is rapidally heading down the clickbait route now. People who can't earn a living trading just trying to outdo each other to get views. Some of the stuff I see on there now is so false. I'm literally staring at the screen and shouting at it because it's so obvious to me that you would never use some of these things or say some of those things if you actually attempted it yourself.
It must be a real nightmare for people starting out because it's so difficult to know what's real and what isn't nowadays.
I would love to spend more time helping people but I obviously face this contradiction in that, I'm too busy doing it to be able to spare enough time to go in deep detail on an individual basis. I'm guessing there may be a time that I can do that, but it will probably be when I'm less active.
On the flipside people don't trade have plenty of time to spend "educating" people, that's the great contradiction!
