Hi Crash,

"If you were a Pro-Punter 924 [and now ? ..a failed pro-punter ? :-) ], what are you doing here, slumming it?. Your forum life would [probably] have revolved around Ausrace where the big bettors mostly roam, Do you have an Ausrace name ?"

Not that I have to, but as I have explained previously, for family reasons, I left Australia in 1992 and was therefore unable to continue professional punting in Australia nor use my methods in New Zealand. (where I currently live).

It is only now, after inroads in online betting options that I am again looking at re entering the Australian fray. I am still undecided about that. It is such a time consuming exercise and money isnt everything to me.Believe me, a professional punter earns every single dollar that comes his way. It is not (for me) a lazy man's way to riches..

I have nothing to do with Ausrace and although I doubt that every pro punter is involved with Ausrace,I dont even know what ausrace is. lol. neither myself or my colleagues were ever involved with ausrace (which didnt exist back then as far as I know). Punters have widely varying ways of operating and for some it can be a very isolated, time-consuming and lonely occupation.

I know where Ive been and what I have done and what I have succeeded at.
The punting hallenge for me in the first place was to achieve something that most people believe impossible. I have done that over a decade and now I have to decide if I really wish to go back over old ground.. OPunting is a living, but not necessarily the most satisfying or rewarding. It is, afterall, WORK.

"what are you doing here, slumming it?".

With some of the bickering that goes on here, I am wondering what I am doing here sometimes
all the very best to you
