Done my conkers yesterday, only 7 bets left in my bank. Don’t think I will ever learn!

If I may make so bold, my dear old online friend, you are a mass of paradoxes and contradictions.
You flit from one system or approach to another, are very (and commendably) open about it here, you wear your heart on your sleeve and are very honest when things go wrong and yet....
....Being open about losing invites comment, you're talking openly so the assumption some others make is you are inviting reaction and feedback yet, when other (maybe more successful) punters helpfully try to steer you in another direction I've seen you get defensive, saying "I do things my way! I'm fine, and do very well, thank you very much!" when subsequent posts like this suggest that's not actually the case.
None of it makes sense to me.
It's often said "if you can't be a good judge, then be a good judge of good judges," or "even if you are a good judge, add to your gains by also being a good judge of good judges."
There are some good judges here - I can tell them, not by the winners they put up, but the observations they make inbetween times, things that resonate with me from my years of experience.
Identify them, follow them and, if there is any transparency to their methodology, seek to emulate it - this stuff actually works.
I've been betting for close to 50 years and most of what keeps my head above water is what I've picked up from others along the way and adopted, adapted, and made my own.
Maybe you are now 1.01 to tell me to F off and mind my own business but, if you openly talk about this stuff, you kinda invite others to make it their business too.
Anyway, good luck.
And before all that - where's MY breakfast??!!

I have tried many times to understand the form book and nearly always come to the conclusion that the favourite is a good thing. The annoying thing is that my method, I’m not sure I would call it a system, does work if I can only keep to it. My problem is that if a couple of results go against me, particularly like a last fence faller or being nutted on the line, I lose discipline and back the iffy ones tha I would normally pass on.
I will now be more selective for a while and hopefully let the bank recover. There is no doubt that my method works much better in lower class races.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, I will try to take heed of them. Don’t worry about me having to sell the family silver, I haven’t got any and my stakes are modest.
Happy New Year and mind you don’t choke on a Hobnob!
