Christmas Eve

I do tend to think outside of the box so some of my blog titles may seem a little strange, but I'm sure you'll end up liking the content.

Christmas Eve because my present tomorrow means I'm going part-time at work to concentrate on betting and studying. I do say that we should treat every day like it's Christmas Day, easier said than done when we get caught up in the rat race. Being able to get bets on quicker and achieve tipster's recommended odds combined with studying the stats for my own systems may mean I can leave my normal day job altogether at some point in the future, but my focus now is to replace the 50% lost on my monthly salary. That's where my tipsters do the hard work. I currently use 13 different systems, and have no superstitions when it comes to the number 13! lol

I also am actively using two of my own systems, but because they focus on niche markets shall not be sharing them with you, at least for the time being anyway. What I will be sharing with you is my daily performance, thoughts and experiences. If you're starting try and imagine yourself earning £500 one day then losing the same amount the day after. Close your eyes, turn off the television and imagine yourself losing that amount... if you feel your heart pounding, or that feeling of insecurity then you probably can't afford to lose such amounts, meaning the money you stake should be lower. Work your way up slowly, only lottery winners and inheritance can get you up the ladder from one day to the next. Be humble, focussed, patient and realistic, combined with being detailed about record keeping, disciplined and too organised!

Until tomorrow... blog should be updated around 9pm GMT, unless there are any late evening races or football.

A warm welcome!

Hello Gamblers and whoever has an interest in reading the thoughts and performance of a full-time gambler!

I'm Kodagira (codename given to me) and from the 1st of September 2010 I will be gambling more or less on a full-time basis. I use the term "more or less" as I'll still be working part-time from 2 til 6 in the afternon, but as all my bets are placed before 2 or after 6 then I'm still going to consider myself a full-timer, and my plans are to eventually go full-time full-time, meaning no normal 9-5 job.

You may think I'm mad going full-time... wait a second, I just want to point something out first. I wouldn't consider myself a Pro yet, just a full-timer. I haven't the expertise or been there done that yet to be up there with the big boys. But I'm not naive, I'm in the with right people who know what they're talking about and, over time, who knows how my gambling will turn out... so, carrying on. I'm not mad, I actually see this transition over to gambling as an opportunity to have my own business. And that's exactly how I will treat gambling, as my own business, and it is up to me, to make this business work!

Now, I don't want to go into any further details as I'll be revealing bits and pieces along the way, so I hope to see your comments here on the blog. My plan is to update the blog daily with my thoughts on the day and performance. The blog will be vital to get all off my chest from the day's rollercoaster ride.

Leading up to the 1st of September I'll be putting comments on the blog about what I've been doing to get myself organised.

Looking forward to reading your comments and feedback.

Kodagira
