A comfortable living for the last 3 years full time!
I did not want to go full time before, because I am chicken, and also I had a very good job, (where I'm actually still contracting part time, chicken you see, just in case)
I did finish near the top of some tipping comps. years back, but I do not tip anymore, not for any particular reason, just that I don't think I have to prove anything.
For what it's worth, I go for the remaining 70%.
I put my bets in as soon as the scratchings are posted, therefore I don't know what the prices will be and I care not for the track condition!
Sometime my selections will be the favs, more often they are not.
Cheers
