Williams at the ridiculously low odds - result 6-0, 6-1. My mate does the horses and if the commentator mentions his horse he can be influenced - he has phoned me loads of times cursing the commentator putting him off his bet.<BR/><BR/>I have found a lot of the time people are in a privileged position not down to being good at their job or their experience but they were in the right place at the right time. Same with pundits too i reckon, take Ray Houghton - he talks a lot of shit when it comes to football, doesnt do his research and he no doubt gets his punditry positions due to who he is rather than what he knows.<BR/><BR/>But I find that if I think a match is going to go one way or the other then I have selective memory as to how good my predicting was or make excuses for why it went wrong but if I were actually going to record all my predictions pre-match I would be just as bad as the pundits - I rather watch a match or sports event for 5 minutes and then go from there and hedge out when proved right or go on tilt like I did yesterday...BingBanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791766374260511450noreply@blogger.com
