No, you're dead set wrong ol' boy........I said nothing of the sort.

What I said was close to all punters couldn't win (long term): This means that there's a mere handful of skilled, professional punters who can and DO win (long term). Australia has over 20 million people, and there's only a mere "handful" of them who make a "permanent", full time, professional profit on the punt (it's a "FULL TIME" job requiring many long arduous hours of "WORK, WORK and more WORK"; every day, every week, every month and every year)........... the other "MILLIONS" of losing punters don't, and will never, properly understand this. That's why , over a lifetime, they lose on the punt. The hard, real world solutions don't interest them; they want the profits to come more easily.
