Since day 1, I have been hearing this.... Life isn't meant to be easy, you know.
It is easier than the past because:
1. the horses are better and mainly associated with the Danehill breedline; so if you know the Danehills, you know your horses.
2. the jockeys and trainers are 'better'. At least, you don't have B Hutchison and Country-Kan's horses to worry about.
3. More exposed info
4. More PP racing at HK. if you do the oversea form, you know better than others
5. Whyte is not as shity as Basil Marcus. And there is no more 'Jockey Tse'---this guys ws really a joke to all Chinese.
It is harder because:
1. Punters are more educated and more intelligent.
2. Less stupid/ mug money to beat
3. HK punters have to compete with international punters.
4. The tax/ commission is high. [ 19% for WIN/PLC----HKJC must be kidding]
Actually, I prefer more racings than less racings. More racings spread the good horses apart, so you have a standout for each race. You either take it or bet against it. More racings also discourage them to influence results.
As a smart punter, you just have to keep up with the trend. You can't just sit on your hands and use the same methods for 20 years.
