Before you Take your Punt

Firstly, ask yourself these three questions.


  1. Do I like it?
  2. Do I understand it?
  3. Can I afford it? (This is the amount of money you are happy, willing and prepared to potentially lose - your "Punt" money).


If you have answered YES to all three, you now need to ask yourself, is there any logical reason why you don't 'take a punt'?
