Format:Paperback
This book and its companion volume, VALUE BETTING, are unquestionably amongst the very best punters' guides. Coton's approach is directly to the racetrack and to winning. He pulls no punches,separating his "hints" into ten sections, warning punters that there is no easy way to winning but there is any number to losing! Some of the hints occupy several pages of writing and are very sophisticated- a serious reader could take weeks to carefully digest everything Coton has to tell him. This book, the sequel to the equally-superb VALUE BETTING, preaches caution, especially in staking. Everything must be carefully ordered, everything recorded, and all decisions made and then adhered to before commencement of any operations. It would be difficult to select just one of the hints to demonstrate the book's overall quality, as each one is an entity in itself and each one can stand by itself as an important idea. However, for the sake of example, Coton's dictum that one must never, ever bet at starting price, is a revolutionary concept and a hint that, on its own, will hold any racing person's attention long after the book is put down. It is hard to believe, but my information is that Mark Coton threw in the racing towel a few years after writing this book, and vowed to stop betting completely. Perhaps he felt that his theories had gone out the window, the approaches he had advocated failed, and his nerve had gone with them. That is beyond understanding from where this reviewer sits, as the ideas in Coton's books are as good as anything I have ever come across, and better than the vast majority by the proverbial country mile. Perhaps Coton is back in racing these days: one hopes so, as his writing is amongst the brightest and most intelligent anywhere.
