Thanks for taking the time to repsond to my staking question YoungHustler TiggerRoll Saxon Warrior jono Spectre Quevega ComplyOrDie Faugheen_Machine Odin ToniC darlojim Zachx02
If i could figure out how to add multiple quote snippets to one post i may have given a more structured reply...
The original thrust of my question was around how to ascertain how much a person fancies a bet just by the pts they allocate to it. 2pts means different things to different people, so its hard to grasp that without trying to find what their bank is by trawling through diaries.. If everyone could just move to the way i do it, and allocate their full bank as 100pts, that would be lovely, thanks. Not too much to ask for a 6th post it it?
But as i see often happens on here, the discussion mushroomed into a more wider ranging, and ultimaletly more interestng and informative discussion
. Too many good points to respond to. So many ways to skin a cat.
In terms of how i skin my cat, think i'll be sticking for now to a similar method to Saxon Warrior and YoungHustler, with 3 or 4 points allocated per race on a couple of selections, generally with a target return in mind, plus a few doubles/trebles across the day/week and maybe the odd life changer for fun. Saxon's comments about enjoying the jeopardy of winning or losing (i.e. the "sport of it") is exactly how i feel. A book approach would never work for me, it would just be less fun and i dont think i would enjoy the Cheltenham week as much. Much respect for the effort it takes for those that do use that approach though.
