Mike, you can start with a bank of $100, bet the minimum TAB amount and if you have a winning selection system-rating call it what you will, you will build up your bank so quick it will frighten you.

On the other hand, if you have a losing selection system-rating, it will provide you with something frightening too.

By winning I mean at least over a couple of weeks!!!
Losing any longer and there is something wrong. I would even say one week is too long if you are betting every day.
Forget all the cr.... "if you show profit over a few months year etc."
That is just that cr...!

Yes there can be some exceptional circumstances lasting a few days,
but racing has not changed in nature all that much during the centuries.
It is still horses carrying weights and a jock, running around in circles.
Sure training methods have changed, riding styles and track layouts have changed but it's the same for all horses so there is no advantage for any.

Keep in mind the killer for all punters, the desire to cash in on a winning streak, or to chase losses.
Just steady as she goes! Combined with a winning selection, you can't go wrong.

Good luck
