Had a shocker on Fridays action and in hindsight I can safely say that I had way too much going on in the background with Wimbledon, the world cup and the racing all circling around in my head at the same time.
At one stage I was down close to $400 and rather than compound my losses, I took a half hour break just to clear my head and review what I was doing wrong. It was obvious that I was not totally immersed in the race meetings so I just simply detached myself from the happenings at the tennis and football. Lo and behold... not one loss on the rest of the evenings race action!
Well, lesson learned.. I need to totally concentrate on what is important which is of course, looking after anything that has my money running on it. Seems simple enough but I guess its a case of being disciplined.
At the end of proceedings my bank was just shy of $200 down on the day which I was happy enough with considering the poor start that I had.
A positive to take away from the day... the value of taking a break if things are going wrong. That twenty or thirty minute break made all the difference with me allowing me to pinpoint what my problem was and to come back better equipped to handle the rest of the days action. I have to keep reminding myself that this is a serious business and I nedd to be professional about it. Dedication, concentration and discipline ......... elements that I certainly need to work on!!
Good fortunes people.
