Ouch!

{league:,,11}Meant to lay a horse in the place market to £15 but typed in £1515 by mistake

typically the Law of Sod came into play and the fucking thing grabbed 2nd on the line too

luckily I was laying it at short odds, otherwise it could have been very very expensive, still cost me a 3-figure sum

pretty shook up about it at the time, but settled down now - when things like this happen I always try and find a silver lining - could have been worse I suppose as only £1175 was matched

still up on the day as I had a good start before that race and have recouped a bit since, hard to regain your focus though when that happens....important not to go apeshit and start chasing.

Re: Ouch!

a very mature attitude seen and I applaud you for it. at the end of the season, win or lose , you can look back at points llke this note what impact they've had on ur profit and loss. i was a three figure sum down by half past 2 last Saturday. a mate saw me on my mobile and said ' I hope ur not chasing' - he knew I was down as not one of those punters who only sings when I'm winning - I assured him that I wasn't as I'd resigned myself to a losing day and would start afresh the next day. this is the biggest lesson a punter can learn in my view. if ur lucky u and u listen to experienced gamblers then it's a lesson that won't cost u dearly to learn. of you don't listen, be prepared for the pain

Re: Ouch!

Well said OD mate.

i think thats the hardest part (not for me) that most punters can learn.Never chase losses. Count it as a losing day and move on afresh the next day.
You CANNOT win everyday.. Over the last year or so i have mucked about with tiny stakes.. But i am also conditioning myself at the same time to get in the mindset for a loss.. I know i can win everyday, so it dont bother me if i make a loss..Even though i am only betting small stakes.. it has helped me alot.
I would never chase losses or use any recovery plan for real.. Just crazy.. and long term you will lose.

i think what sean done was just a mistake, plain and simple. it happens. (i have done it on greyhounds, and it cost me £80+)

i always make sure its right before i press submit now. lol
