i could never be a professional punter.......i enjoy it too much.......im one of those punters whose in it for the adrenaline. i love watching my horse race neck and neck with another and losing by a nose. the adrenaline is amazing. i prefer to see my horse in a neck and neck finish or three lengths off the leader with a furlong to go than in front by 5 with a furlong to go......... im one of those punters who when he sits down to play the pokies wants to be sitting there for a half hour to lose his money. if i hit the jackpot in the first 2 mins and quad my money im not happy cause the adrenaline at maybe losing my money hasnt happened. obviously money matters and it makes life and everything that comes with it a lot easier but...... as dumb as this sounds....... winning gets boring.......if anyone understands my psych analysis of my punting let me know.
