5. If you are going to use several bookmakers use a spreadsheet to keep track of your winnings.
6. Dont bet on a pretty name, look at the form.

8. If the horse is called Sad Ken and has 3 legs avoid it!
9. If an offer to make £££££ on a betting system seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
10. Bet with your head, not your heart.
