Thanks Mav, i know of that one as well, i applied and did the test 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back as of yet. Rang them last Tuesday and they said they were still processing everything and i would DEFITNELY get a call/email
telling me if i was successful or not, but as of yet zilch.

Did you apply for it as well???

No but i have the test....looks to hard for me
..I've only been serious about this for a year...I'm still learning.

The test looks like they are after a certain type of Analyst....
I couldn't see me doing any good as my views and ratings differ from the norm...
I keep picking winners regardless...and have for the last year been very profitable... I leave for the states after easter Monday for a month courtesy of Mr Mark Read and to a lesser extent Unitab..

I was given some real good advice from a professional gambler...He said after you've had a good win...buy something !! Like a new Tv or Holiday or whatever ...because when you have your run of outs atleast you have something to show for it..
I have some property some good young horses ...and now only work part time.. looking at going to the West indies in a couple for the cricket world cup...
If Snitzel wins the Slipper I'll have it paid for ..

But getting paid for what you probably do anyway ....would be nice ..but i'd hate the pressure of getting it all wrong...
I put myself under enough as it is..

Yea it's my dream job as well Testa. It's the type of thing I'd spend 16 hrs a day on for peanuts, just because i enjoy the process so much.

Hey Mav, is that ad for real?

And the aptitude test, do you have a copy? I wouldn't mind checking it out.

Great advice Mav, Me and Mylady are planning a trip to the States this year. I'm trying to talk her into going when Alinghi's going to race but she's not happy about that, want's me to have a breather, would love to get the overs they'd have her @ over there though.

Sorry to be a "Partypooper" but do you PAY, i.e $$$$ to do this so -called TEST????? i.e. is there $ coming out of your pocket (bank account) and going into "THEIRS" ? just, shall we say "interested"????
