No serious punter ever said it was easy..that doesnt make it impossible either..just because you have not succeeded.

It is a matter of sorting out the material that matters from the material that doesn't..and that my friend, takes time and effort. Once you have the tools yopu then need to have the discipline..and I'll state that discipline cant be bought...it is the most difficult -to-obtain pre- requisite for successful punting.

Some of the best learning I found was from cheaply obtained books on the subject... Some of the "old school" stuff is still relevent today...

If you have only lost a few hundred dollars, I suggest that you havent tried hard enough LOL. To profit long term from punting is to achieve what the overwhelming majority of punters cannot.Take on an easier task if you cant enjoy life in this arena.

I can understand that you may feel burned by the odd shark out there...I'll leave by stating that there are some winning materials and methods right here on this forum...available free...however, If you have had enough, by all means leave, and let the rest of us take our own journey and experience life for ourselves, in our own ways.

All the best to you in whatever you choose to do..
