It's a racehorse called Tszyu, not the Boxer.

Good tip, Mr Ed. :)

god damnit... I forgot to back Tszyu. Mr ed is a good gambler so I think if he says something is a certainty, it's a certainty.

I'm kicking myself now.

Trust me knowledge i have had a few certainties that haven't done the right thing. Today was good though never really looked like losing, alot of tipsters thought the (3) King Preciueax was the horse to beat so got 2.70 a good price IMO, after he beat High Shakira who was a subsequent winner and will be well in the market at Caulfield sunday.

Back in year 3 or 4. Used to hustle other kids for lunch money in cards. also started a class lottery where I got around 50% of the entry money.

alot of pool and bball in high school.

18, started card counting, kept it up for over half a year and then started bonus hustling (online casinos). Made a nice amount off that, then started sports when I was about 20. A bit over a year later and here I am.

Also play a few hours of online poker a day, and get poker nights going with mates every now and then.

I don't think I'm a gambler, just born to hustle ;)

bout half a year...
started out when i really needed some money and i put my last $50
on a footy match, won that and about a month later i tried another bet
i won that too...
When i got some steady income...well here I am :D

Started at 15...running bets for the parents at the local TAB...suspended (and got caned) for running a poker game (during science in Year 11) for quite large amounts of money in those days...

Worst thing was to win $800 on a $20 bet in 1977...its been downhill all the way since (hahaha)! Started betting on sports recently particularly EPL and NRL...average $250/ usually line bets.

Love racing and have owned and sold horses (not for profit) over the years...been lots of fun and met some great people, who have become good friends since...

Have a happy new year guys and a cool beer (for me)...
