SNIPPETS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH A PRO

As in most things I think it is about putting in the hours - you need application, focus and concentration and an understanding of the nature of probability - most good punters seem to have these attributes.

In terms of success I think that a key attribute is the ability to distance yourself from all emotion. In my former life as a trader I took the view that my enemies were fear and greed - if I was feeling either emotion then it was time to walk away, and I think the same applies to betting.

Racing like anything is all about opinions and you wouldn't expect two football or political pundits to agree very often either.

....so you've just got to be confident that things will turn round. Finally never ever change the strategy that served you well over the years
