Well I really feel on top of preparations for the NH season. Still in July and already updated my stats and drafted the first e-mail not due until October! I have developed my first list of horses to follow based on the 2008/09 season and can't wait until the stable tours and One Jump Ahead, Marten Julian and John Morris produce their lists to look out for the new stars.
Have had to stop betting on the flat as I have hit my self imposed stop loss for the month of July (£200). I remember the days when £200 was my average stake! That was when I was working full time and subscribing to ISIRIS. I understand ISIRIS is coming back but I won't be joining as I simply cannot afford it. I know the argument that says you cannot afford not to but I am convinced there are more cost effective ways of making a profit and he is just to successful.
My problem has always been coping emotionally with the inevitable losing run. I would try to get my money back or do something silly, but slowly have been able to nearly master that and the stop loss is part of that strategy. Theoretically it is not justifiable (i.e. a successful system should be followed with a bank sufficient to cope and as the winners will come when you least expect them), but for me it is working.
Anyway looking forward to the Open, the Ashes the Tour de France.... does it get any better than this!
