How to be a professional gambler - Q&A with Stephen Harris

[@shortfuze5685]

This guy nailed it when he said it hard to stop betting when you win . im a punter as in i bet to win and when im winning i think the party is going to continue but almost everytime i end losing a lot of my winnings. I have a couple of tips for you punters out there though. pick your spots and hammer them. And a old track saying thats still stands true to this day " Study Long, Study Wrong".

[@pro-horsepunter5554]

No such thing as get rich quick get that out of your head first unless your born rich then you can bet big you got to start from the bottom treat every cent with respect go to the shop and get a bread with 40c short they won't give it to you think what I just said :)

Specialise in a certain type of race. On the flat I bet in sellers (never less than a mile) and on the jumps novice chases. You can't win betting in handicaps, which is why we have so many of them.

[@markchapman2933]

Just because the type of race is easier to find the winner does not make it a good type of race to bet in. In handicaps it may be harder to find the winner but the bigger odds mean a punter does not need as many victories to show an overall profit. So yes, you can win in handicaps and over the years I've found the Grand National the easiest race to make an overall profit. Each to his own,.

thanks stephen, been losing consistently for 49 years ... have my rules but when on winning runs get cocky and break my rules and LOSE ... I LIKE THE STICK TO A SPECIALTY

[@johnlangridge7191]

Interesting watch. Still never forgotten you stopping that white van coming out of Cranwood Street with your left hand without even looking at it. The expression of pure anger on the drivers face as he had to decelerate from 30mph to a standstill in two seconds will live with me forever! Very funny memory.

[@stephenharris6551]

I cannot recall that John 👀

Why does everybody believe that betting exchanges prices are ruthlessly efficient and set by incredible form judges? Most of the money is going to be from matched bettors just finding the closest match to a particular bookies odds or traders following price trends. None of that has anything to do with the actual logical chance of a horse winning the race. Favourites are winning at exactly the same rate they did 150 years ago when I don't believe the internet was a thing...

[@markchapman2933]

My advice would be to learn the mathematics of betting off by heart. Knowing the odds as percentages. Most punters know Evens = 50% and 100/1 = 1%. But if not knowing the whole table of odds and chances the punter has little hope of making an overall profit.

[@ThePeterp57]

interesting level headed video, not sure if betting towin is harder or easier these days

[@markleyland8191]

[@markchapman2933]

Although Stephen talks a lot of sense that was going through my mind too..

[@ascott2264]

hey, i led up Yahoo, soaking wet that day.

[@bigshug8576]

Getting bets on is the main problem

[@craigmcnicholas9786]

Hamilton, you heard of the exchanges?

[@davidbarnard5873]

You need to multiply the odds by 0.95 or 0.6 if you're (un)fortunate enough to pay a premium charge to really see if you actually are getting a better deal as an exchange takes a commission, but most of the time it is better yes

[@paulnodalo9130]

William Hill Sportsbook have a new policy of restricting all profitable accounts to pennies.William Hill are moving into USA and the punters are totally unaware what a scam The William Hill organization are.

[@davidbarnard5873]

@@paulnodalo9130 William Hill are on a massive cost cutting mission after all of their proposed shop closures, the golden goal offer has been cut to 25 quid max already, what's the point?
