I think you've spelt larffing incorrectly darkydog2002, but I'll ovelook that. It is gambling, but some do prosper from it via their betting. Not too many, but some. Like some prosper from professional card playing (can I use professional in terms of card playing darky, as I know your not too keen about the term 'professional investor' when referring to betting on the 'orses?)

I do in fact know of ONE individual who has been making a living on the nags for some 40 years. There are a couple on here whom I'm certain make a living on the punt, few and far between tho'

Won't start a new thread but class interests me. Is it as simple as saying it's a horse who races better in higher class races than those in which that horse is meeting today?, notwithstanding the fact that there would be some in this race that haven't had the opportunity to race in higher class races.

In two sentences, can someone explain how to identify a class horse in a race.

Luv your work darkydog2002. Some of your systems aren't as bizarre to me now, as they were a year or so ago. Should I be worried? lol
