Merry Christmas and A Happy Boxing Day!

I do hope your Chrissie Day was a bottler, and that it all ended safely and happily.

So what's on the agenda for the weekend?

A special bet?

One you've been sweating on?

Or the usual?

If it's the usual, let's hope you're doing most things the right way.

Right way? Well I guess I mean winning, not losing...

As it's nearly New Year and the time for those resolutions, let's suggest just TWO "right approaches" for 2010. We can practise this weekend, as we're a mere six days away!

1. STICK TO ONE, TWO OR THREE PROGRAMS MAXIMUM.

2. DETERMINE YOUR PREFERRED BETTING TYPES AND STICK.

Programs:

Well, if you have a smorgasbord of 200 races or more, limit your focus to the two or three tracks you know and understand best. To use an old fashioned cliche, you can beat a race but you can't beat the races. Try to pick the winner of every race on those three programs (your best three programs!!!) and watch the results. They're unlikely to be flattering. It's not easy.

Preferred Betting Types:

If you have a diary, see where your successes have come. Win? Place? Multiples? Exotics?

Stick to what you KNOW you do best, and jettison the rest.

Just two then, no more, as we don't keep them when we make too many promises to ourselves.

With only two, we just might.
