G'day Stix 'n'all, well maybe I exagerated a bit hee hee, I was probably onto my 2nd bottle of clearskin Merlot by by then hahah!

And of course you hit the nail on the head, even with a good plan it's hard to get the turnover that's needed to actually make enough off the punt. Without going into selling tips, ratings, etc etc.

If you merly increased stakes, it would soon impact on the divvies.

I've got a plan "B" at the moment which has the potential to achieve some hefty stakes, but I'm only betting when I can get the right fixed price, so far so good!

Good Luck!
