Samenvatting:

"One Hundred Hints" is the sequel to Mark Coton's best selling book "Value Betting". In "Value Betting", the author concentrated on outlining his insights into how to beat the bookmaker; in this innovative new book, he tells us how to capitalize on those insights, as well as identifying many of the bad habits which often spoil betting.;It begins with a look into the mind of the professional gambler, then proceeds to examine all stages of the betting process, from preparing selections and assessing value, to the vital matter of accurate and consistent staking. The hints are interspersed with excerpts from the author's betting diary kept during the 1993 Flat Season, and with many amusing tales from over 15 years of serious betting, notably the years he spent formulating the ground-breaking "Pricewise" column in the "Racing Post.";Refreshingly honest, and written in Coton's easily-accessible style, "One Hundred Hints" is part-confession, and part-celebration of the maddening business of betting, and should be ideal reading for anybody who has ever struck a bet in anger, or intends to in future!
