Download or read book One Hundred Hints for Better Betting written by Mark Coton and published by Aesculus Press Ltd. This book was released on 2002-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Hundred Hints is the long-awaited sequel to Mark Coton's best selling book Value Betting. In Value Betting, Mark concentrated on outlining his unique insights into how to beat the bookmaker; in this engaging and innovative new book, he tells us how to capitalise on those insights, as well as identifying many of the bad habits which often spoil our betting. One Hundred Hints begins with a look into the mind of the professional gambler, then proceeds to examine all stages of the betting process, from preparing selections and assessing value, to the vital matter of accurate and consistent staking. The Hints are interspersed with excerpts from Mark's betting diary kept during the 1993 Flat Season, and with many amusing tales from over fifteen years of serious betting, notably the years Mark spent formulating the ground-breaking Pricewise column in the Racing Post. Refreshingly honest, and written in Coton' s easily-accessible style, One Hundred Hints is part-confession, and part-celebration of the maddening business of betting, and must not be missed by anybody who has ever struck a bet in anger, or intends to in future!
