Kingsley made a mistake Saturday night – and it cost him.
Every punter talks about tips. Some talk about value. Fewer still talk about mindset.
But almost none talk about preparation.
And that’s where 99% get found out.
In this week’s episode of The Grind (August 25), Kingsley breaks down one of the most underrated pillars in professional punting — and confesses how even after 25+ years, the game still punishes carelessness.
Here’s what went down:
💣 The Mistake
Saturday night. The Roosters were $1.34. Looked good. Kingsley backed them.
The bet lost. But that’s not the point.
The point is: he broke his own rule. A rule he’s preached for years. No short-priced rugby league bets. Ever.
Why did he do it? Because he wasn’t mentally prepared. His race day was done, he was relaxed, his guard was down.
And that’s the lesson.
💡 The Real Takeaway
Preparation isn’t just about picking your bets.
It’s about:
- Knowing where and when you’re betting
- Having a process for what gets on and what doesn’t
- Being in the right headspace to execute
- Avoiding emotional decisions when the heat’s on
Without that structure, it’s easy to fall back into old habits.
📊 The Edge Is Real — If You Use It
Kingsley also dives deep into recent TKZ performance data:
- Selection One (top pick in every race): +5.4% ROI
- Lays: -13% — a 19% swing from top pick to bottom lay
- One simple system: 66 bets, 35% ROI, 40% strike rate
These aren’t cherry-picked numbers. They’re built from the same analysis tool members will soon have access to.
👑 So, Why Watch?
Because this episode isn't just about numbers. It’s about ownership.
It’s about knowing why you’re betting, what you're chasing, and how to stay in the game long enough to get better.
Whether you’re flying or flat, this one will give you something to think about.
