The trouble with what I do is that is has spolit me. I have become used to the regular profits, so when it comes to betting I have turned into a sook. I hate losing, even a few dollars and so am loathe to risk even the smallest amount. When it comes to my trialling different ideas, I think what I need is someone who I can tell what I want done, and then go out for a week, have them bet for me, and just tell me at the end of the week what the result is. I hate the ups and downs.

Excellent post.
I'd say it's extremely similar to my ethic as well.
Laying suits my punting personality far better than backing ever will.
Some of what Mark has posted could be an interview with a seasoned professional punter - they seem to get spoilt, bored and dislike risk.
They get used to profits and don't like hiccups.
