Yes it is actually,I have been turning over $100,000 in profit for the last 8 years since I lost my job as Elle Macphersons personal masseur.I do not put the bets on myself but have a team of girls which I found at HOOTERS
who loved to come around to my house and spray each other with the garden hose,as good as that was to watch I thought they could be put to better use.One of my better bets was $10000 on Port Adelaide to win by more than forty points at $9.25 and a prepost double on
Econsul($151-Caulfield Guineas)all up Elvestroem ($21 Caulfield cup)which netted me $3171 X $100=$317,100
So you can see the fan and others such as mo and Sportznut,Mr J etc is that you can do quite well out of this punting caper.
(SOUND OF AN ALARM CLOCK GOING OFF)
You know I just had the strangest dream/fantasy in which I was retired and just living off punting.
Seriously if I was relying on punting to supply my income solely,Id be living by the side of the road in a shoebox,like a monty python skit.People do it Ive heard.I think you need two things MONEY AND PATIENCE
CHEERS :cool:

so whats ur tip for the melbourne cup.

I put a lot of early money on DISTINCTION at $21.00,but after the scratching of him in Caulfield cup,I would hope for VINNIE ROE but he wont start if the track is too firm,so we'll see
cheers :cool:

Figured your main tip Rabbitz woulda bin Razkala.
Or was that only suggested to me so's I could lose my ten bucks?

A good chunk comes from packages of this site (mlb & tennis, around 1100 to 1400 bets).

The rest (apart from my own picks) come from guys I know, exchange info with etc.
