G'day guys, first post. Jez from Kalgoorlie. I started betting small when I was around 18-19. I would go into a TAB and put $3/$2 on a horse (I thought ha) that was paying exactly $8 for a win. I was at my grandad's after one of these early plunges and I couldn't find my horse anywhere so I asked the old pro to show me what was going on. He looked at the ticket and said "That's a dog you've bet on son" with a disappointing look. So we looked at the results and woohoo the little dishlicker had saluted with his tiny little paw! It's just grown onwards and upwards from there! Even to the extent of cleaning up all my mates $2 coins at a game of two up late last night at my house
