I remember a bloke who came into a fair chunk of money. He went from a two bit player like most of us here, to an overnight 'pro'. using a progressive staking method. His opinion on everything racing including punting methods [in his eyes], was from then on better than anyone else's because he now considered himself a 'pro'.
At the track every week playing with the big boys and betting big bets etc. About 4-6 weeks later he was obviously broke, no longer went to the track and had become a $2 place punter. Don't see him around nowadays.

I had an uncle who thought it was easy, he chucked in his job and started to bet full time using a similar idea.

His plan was to win $200 a day 6 days a week backing favs, his plan was to bet to prices to win his $200 plus losses for the day.

A day at Warwick Farm with no favs getting up wiped out his bank plus more took him a while to get another job.

I don't think he started with a large bank, i remember dad telling me the family lived the high life for a couple of months untill it all crashed then they were luck if they could afford the mortgage each month.

Don't get fooled before you start putting real cash down do some research and paper testing for 6 months, this goes for any method.

yawn

....topic sorta seems to go around every site....every few months. Nearly joined one the other week until i was asked to pay for the priviledge, cant say they would would have let this thing keep going though........... 1 of the 5 members over there would have pulled it for sure.....with a little given on the side of course.

I went back in threads and geez there were heaps of post-ers in here once.....these sort of threads just drag people away i spose?

Sorry, must be nap time again.

I don't think what Im quoting from you is correct King Cugat. This thred has already had over 90 posts and more than 2,500 views. I've also enjoyed reading it.

Marcus, what have you learnt?

You musta got your copy of the free system before they ran out.

If you put a dollar on every $26 chance in the paper you will eventually get one. you will find that a $26 chance comes up in at least 1 in 25 times, so you will make a profit at least. try it and see.

No mate, 3% strike rate
21.79% loss on turnover

If anyone is going to bet blind like that [27 bets trying to strike a winner at $27]. May as well back the favorites of a meetings first 3 races. They usually have the smallest fields, no great odds but a good chance winning or losing ...just a little.

I have been away for a while and have only just read this thread, but I just wanted to give King Cugat the thumbs up for some of his work early on in this thread. Comedy Gold, had me laughing, keep it up can never get enough laughs.
