Good thread Ed,
Havnt posted for a while had a contract to take care of in the country. I'm a roof plumber by trade and have worked for myself since I was 19. Luv2bet sums it up for me, whether its footy, horses, poker, or two flies.... im in. It all started for me when I moved to Darwin as a 19 year old and lived in parap, which backed on to the fannie bay race track, the rest is history. I've made nice profits from racing and that is mainly due to tips from a couple of mates, one is a pro and gives me a couple of tips a week which i back heavily. The rest of my bets are made up from form study and ratings, something I havnt had any time to do for a while. I am 31 years old, married with 3 kids, 2 boys (9 and 2 months) and a 6 year old girl. Love my fishing and golf but finding time is hard. Am an absolute sports fanatic, will watch any competive sport but especially love soccer. Broke into a premier league team in s.a at 15 years old and have had some great experiences on a few trips overseas playing. (playing against rio ferdinand while he was at west ham is my claim to fame). Had a friendly against all the old boys at newcastle which was huge as well. As a defender I had kevin keegan in my ear the whole game, a few others that played that day were terry mcdermott, peter beardsley, barry vennison.
I am in shares on a few horses, 1 which will be running in a couple of weeks and a nice looking 2 year old gearing up for its first crack.
Get over to melbourne every year for some racing, been to 2 caulfied guines, 2 caulfield cups, 3 cox plates a few derbies and a melbourne cup. Wont go to flemington for the big ones any more, its getting too crowded.
Well, thats enough dribble from me, back to the form...
