I’ve been thinking about portfolio betting recently. This is something that I think of as putting together a collection of systems, methods or tipping services to have a well rounded betting strategy. The idea being that they don’t all have a losing spell at the same time.
Seeing the Tote / Racing Post Ten to Follow competition (which is worth getting involved with if you know your horses www.betting-school.com/ttf) made me think that a different approach may also work.
This is all just an idea at the moment but I thought I would share it to see what others might think.
So the idea is that instead of following a set of systems we somehow follow a portfolio of horses, or football players or golfers or anything else.
So like an investor in the stock market would buy a selection of promising shares we would identify horses or sportsman that we think have potential to do well and we follow their form closely and bet them when the opportunity arises.
The thing is it’s no good adding anybody that’s already super successful to your portfolio, because all the value has gone. For example betting that Ronaldo will score in any given Man U game is not likely to be a value bet. What we have to do is to identify our selection before rest of the world jumps on the bandwagon.
The benefit of focusing on a handful of selections and following them is that we get to know more about our portfolio and can learn when they do well and when they are less likely to perform.
Finally do think about having a go at the Ten to Follow for £10 you get a good few months of fun and involvement with the possibility of a huge win at the end and along the way.
