Title: A Great Quote from a Professional Famous Sports-Gambler! Fuel for real players!
Post by: alrelax on June 22, 2018, 01:29:53 PM
A quote from the sports-gambler, Harry Findlay:

"There are three things people have to understand: a) You can get on; b) You get value; c) You get confidence.  And no matter what you do in life, confidence is the number one.  Say one fellow bets 20-1 shots.  After 20 loses, he backs a winner, and he's level.  Another fellow's betting evens.  After 10 winners and 10 losers he's level.  They've both got the same money, but he's been right 10 times.  Who's going to have more confidence? But nobody talks about confidence, the mental instabilities involved in gambling.  And that's what it's all about.  Its all about how you perform under pressure, how you perform when it all goes wrong."


And, I say he is 100% spot-on, no doubt, great fuel for anyone's performance and endeavors at the tables! 

Here is a link to a newspaper article about the 'professional sports gambler':

It appears he is quite popular within the world of sports betting and well-known.  I read a little of his stuff and articles about him, interesting from a casino player's point of view, although I am not a regular sports-wagering type of person. 

I like the quote, fits in perfectly!  I have called the same thing, 'Frame-of-Mind' and also, 'Vision'.  IMO, there is a lot to the above quote and it is key to understanding your emotional, knowledge, experience and everything else I have taken the time and effort to detail with my previous writings on BetSelection.

It fits, fits well and best of all--it is REALITY.
