This is by far the best post in ages & has managed to drag me out of my self imposed exile.

It lasted longer than I thought it would before the nay sayers came out and I am very surprised that CP, someone who I have almost totally agreed with over the years, seems to be the main knocker.

Chrome, I've told this before and I will repeat it for the record. I quit my full-time job over 5 years ago and have survived totally from the races ever since. I opened a Betfair a/c with $3000, and lost almost all of it in the first month. My balance got down to $500 & I have lived off this amount, building it up, withdrawing regularly & never having to deposit again.

FACT
It can be done.

Cheers
Mark
