Occam’s razor

In case you are not familiar with this concept here is a link to the Wiki page: –

Basically, most things are best explained in simple terms and explanations with much more detailed thought or rationale behind them turn out to be much less effective in explaining or moving forward a concept. I only learnt of Occam’s razor while watching a science documentary one night but it my experience Occam was right. If you can’t explain something works in simple terms then you are probably on the wrong track. It’s something that seems to have been true for the whole of my working life. Distilling something down to a basic decision always works well, over complicating something works badly.

It seems to be the same whatever you look at. So if you are searching for something, think about actually what you are trying to achieve and the fundamentals behind it. From there you are likely to be very near your final answer already.

I left a good job in the consumer technology industry to go a trade on Betfair for a living way back in June 2000. I've been here ever since pushing very boundaries of what's possible on betting exchanges and loved every minute of it.
