I never bet in shops. On the few occsions when I have been in a shop, I have had no idea what to do or where to go Only ever bet online. I have become very disciplined and don't put on daft bets for interest. I only bet on what I know and stick to Spanish football with some other bets on the Premiership and Serie A. The main thing is to think about things in a rational fashion and don't get caught up in it and chase lost winnings. You have to become detached and think about things logically. Don't get me wrong, when I first started I lost a couple of hundred quid in the first two or three months as it was so easy to place bets on almost any sports at any time of the day. You suddenly become an expert on the Romanian 4th Division because you placed a stupid bet and won. I stuck £5 on a Brazilian lower league game once as it was the only game due to start in the next 10 minutes and won. This one off success led me in completely the wrong direction. Would I have placed such a bet in the shop? No, because I doubt you would get access to such a bet in the shop without specifically asking about it and the counter staff phoning headquarters but online it is much easier. Apply the same rules for successful gambling which others have posted on here before when gambling online. For me it is that simple. Hope that was helpful. Now for a shameless plug Anyone looking to get an online account, open a betfair account, PM me and I will give you my refer and earn code. Stick in £30 and get it matched and we both get £30 cash bonus each (not a free bet but actual cash credited to your account).

That's an excellant point and one I normally adhere to. If there is nothing that interests me, I don't bet for the sake of it. I have started betting in play more often particularly if I am watching the game live. Get a win and make a profit then bank it. Don't waste it betting on games in some far flung league for "interest".

Just spent the last hour or so reading through this thread from start to finish. Very interesting. I started gambling online last December and after I had stopped placing 10 team accy's and started thinking about what I was doing I had made £200 by the end of the season. I started this season on the opening day of the Premiership with £30 and I now have £142. I am aiming to make steady profits each week with fairly large singles or doubles. I always look to get 50% profit back on my original stake i.e. if I bet £10 I look to get £15 back. This will obviously vary from time to time. I stuck on £120 for Barca to beat Gijon earlier this week for a return of £140. The main points I follow:- 1. Don't get greedy. 2. Stick to what you know. A fair bit of discipline also helps. I have a goal of what I want to achieve through gambling and this helps me maintain discipline. I have no get rich quick scheme just slow and steady progress.

I have been told the horses are now confirmed for Ayr tomorrow after my earlier over zealous post Can anyone suggest a few decent shouts for me tomorrow night.

I am off to Ayr Races next Friday night and I know absolutely nothing about horse racing. Will the list of horses etc be out yet? If so, any tips etc? I don't want to lose all my cash betting on naggs.
