How to Survive a Brutal Punting Weekend

How to Survive a Brutal Punting Weekend | The Grind Ep 5

Let’s be honest — this game hurts sometimes.

Episode 5 of The Grind takes you inside one of those weekends. The kind where you feel like you’re on the edge… and then get kicked right off it.

Friday was solid.
Four winners from nine. Confidence was high.
Saturday? A complete emotional rollercoaster.
And Sunday — with the site opened up for free — we finished with seven winners from 18 bets and a 74% profit.

That sounds like a good weekend, right? Square across the three days.

But the story’s in the middle.

How to Survive a Brutal Punting Weekend | The Grind Ep 5

When It All Goes Wrong…

On Saturday, my best bet of the day, Peloton, got beat after sitting third fence with a cruising rank of one. He had every hope. He just didn’t win.

Then five minutes later, Uroboros gets nailed on the line.

That was the moment. The one we all know.
The "I'm about to lose the plot" moment.

I had to walk.

Because when you’re punting at a professional level — or even just trying to punt properly — that moment decides everything.

How to Handle High Pressure

If there’s one message I want people to take from this episode, it’s this:

If you feel like you're out of control — stop.

Take a breath. Go for a walk. Do whatever it takes to get back to your process.

You can do everything right for two years and still knock it all off in one bad day if you chase.

Saturday tested that. Sunday rewarded sticking to it.

Planning for the Strip-Out

One of the key takeaways I cover is planning for when things go wrong — before they do.

Plan your bets the night before
Have a staking model built for bad days
Don’t expect a fill-up — prepare for the worst
If you lose without breaking your rules, that’s a win

Because if you don’t get through Saturday, you don’t get to Sunday.

Deep Dive: Building a Winning Query

We also get stuck into the TKZ Analysis Tool — showing how combining form factors like:

Ideal Distance
Jockey Edge
Race Pressure
Cruising Rank

…can turn a minus 4% system into a +14% one with just a few logical additions.

That’s the level we’re working at now.

And it’s what the entire platform will be about this Spring.
