📈 Turnbull, Tactics & Turning Points: What We Can Learn from a Spring Spectacle

🧠 The Skill That Separates the Pros from the Punters

There’s a reason most punters lose, and it’s not because they can’t find a winner. It’s because they don’t know when not to bet. In Episode 8 of The Grind, Kingsley lays it all out. The traps, the red flags, the races that cost you

Max Bet Episode 7: Why Process Beats Picks (Again)
