Life As A Professional Punter

What does a true Australian punter do when he wins? Sing, dance, throw a party for the boys, or remain tight-lipped so that he doesn't attract any undue attention. To let you out on a little secret, a professional will remain cool and calm, with little display of any outward emotions. At the most, you will get to see a firm punch in the air and then go home write it in his ledger, and sit and gloat. On the other hand, you do get those who love a wild celebration. Every punter dreams of making a living out of punting at some point of time, and some do.Persistency and toughness are the two characteristics required to turn professional on the track, and earn a significant amount of money during the course of a year. It may be exhilarating and exhausting but that is what life as a professional punter is all about. Is it easy going? Certainly not. A professional learns to enjoy betting, especially when winning moments can be few and far between.Undoubtedly, life as an Australian punter has undergone a marked change over the years. Gone are the days when there was a lot less panic by the bookies on changing prices. They were willing to lay a bet fearlessly. Although, bookies were on a winning wicket since punters had limited resources at their disposal. Form guides and the occasional radio broadcast were all that punters had. No databases, online betting guides or video replays to go by. They were much at the mercy of the stewards too. Of course, the charm of horse racing draws all types of people, and clubs and professional horse racing bodies do their best to keep the bad elements out as far as possible.Fast forward back to present times, and you still have a few bookies near the winning post at many Australian tracks. Horse racing and its authorities have done well to harness technology and analyze data which of course has bookmakers on their toes as punters gain an edge. From Cairns to Caulfield or Fannie Bay to Flemington, it is easy for punters to track the form of their favourites. Now, punters can wager on any race anywhere across Down Under with off-course betting becoming increasingly popular. Professionals from all over the country can walk into a pub, and bet on races across the nation while downing a few pints, which comes to the real point. Technology has changed the life of a professional punter.Of course, there is still no 'holy grail' of punting and no secret formula, except the good old management theory that applies to everyone including punters, which is to discover their weaknesses and indentify their strengths. A professional punter can do that well. In addition, he will keep records of all winning and losing and gain as much knowledge as he can. For the most part the courage comes from within with confidence being built up over time. From form guides to monitoring the odds until the horses are under the starter's orders, every punter learns to live life on the track in his own unique way. For him there is always room to improve their methods as time goes by.
