That Feeling Of Crashing Back Down To Earth

Ben Morgan saw the less enjoyable side of punting for most of last month with a near miss and a number of short prices missing out

That Feeling Of Crashing Back Down To Earth

Coming off the back of groundbreaking month of high profits is always difficult and I, like most punters, try to get back to basics as soon as possible. The feeling of invincibility is hard to ignore but the thought of not cashing in on a rich vein of form is overpowering for most.

I don’t like to hoard big funds in my betting account because it does encourage complacency so I took my winnings out and started again. This gave me a chance to pick my battles and weigh up a bet like I would before.

One battle I was convinced I was going to win was the Battle of Northumberland, where I was certain Seamour (£50 win) would gain revenge for last year’s narrow defeat. Brian Ellison reported him in tiptop shape ahead of a third attempt at winning the Plate, which boosted my confidence no end.
