With today's technology it would be very easy to provide accurate numbers, but it's not in the interest of the corporates or the TAB.

Let's forget what the winning (%'S) may be.

I'm more interested in the criteria used.

A-Length of time winning.

B Amounts won .

This is what defines a winning or losing punter.

Once the criteria has been set then I'm interested.

Very true, I just don't believe their figures, and if their figures are incorrect, what other spin is going on?

garyf, it was over a long time, similar to running your own business and making a profit year on year and it was mentioned that you need a bank of $2mil to have a chance of making 100k to 200k. Just reporting what was on radio. I thought the 1% was interesting.

Fair enough like that.

I just wondered what criteria say Betfair would class,
Successful punters as being, compared to say Sportsbet,
Or then say any T.A.B not fixed odds.

But if that's the criteria no wonder it's only 1%.

That clears it up.

Cheers.
