Yeah.We were all dreamers once and it does keep the system sellers and Rating men in cash.
The reality is that its more likely (if your lucky) to have realistic profit figures like these ( from a Free daily Best Bet and one of the better ones)
131 bets /Turnover $9825 /Profit $266.
Unfortunately unless your betting 100,s of thousands in bets one wont make a decent living from punting and your money is best invested in a account that has reasonable interest.
