Bon,

Most of the punters here have been at it for more than 18mths. Many more than 18yrs. How many of them do you think make a profit and they [most]are by no means slow witted people? About 5% profit makers would be a big call.

They do love the game though and if you don't and aren't prepared to put in a lot of very hard yards, you have no chance whatsoever. There is no easy money to be made in Racing.
