Giving it up after the huge winter carnival you had ?? wow i've been going backwards this calendar year but i'm still hanging in there...miss the brissie racing scene and all that inside info that helped but there's light at the end of the tunnel..
I've always liked your tips as you think alittle outside the square ,,, i think this helped during the winter carnival with the funny tracks etc..

Hope you stick around to offer alittle advice here and there which wont cost you anything but might help us out alot..

Good Luck ..

I would love to stay in the game some way but I need to really step back away from things and if i do return to punting at some point then I have to retrain myself on what type of limit I have not that I have ever over extended myself although I have spent more than I really should have a few times in the past chasing money, If I do return it can at a minimal amount and maybe that would be a good thing anyway.

For now however I will probably be finished sometime cup week which really is the last worthwhile betting for quite some time anyway. maybe 6 months out of the picture will be good however for now I am treating it more permanently.

Once again thanks for the kind words you guys have been great and it has been great to get to know you over the years had a real ball.

Mav I doubt I can walk away from this place without sticking my head in every now and then plus I will be certainly still watching the races and will give an opinion now and then for sure.

Well that is the end today I always wanted to finish out the flemington carnival if possible and it turned out quite profitable for me paid for alot of chrissy presents for the nieces and nephews. I'll be around a bit and might even throw the odd $10 bet out there occasionally but for the most part I am finished with the game.

I have loved interacting with most of you guys on here it has been a ball hopefully you guys can take some money off those other rich **************s.

Punting is a disease mate,,once you've got it you are stuck with it,,no cure,there are remission periods but it always comes back.

I have enjoyed your posts and your approach to the game, and amongst a lot of other forumites I'm sad to see you leaving.

But mate,,,you are odds-on to be back,,we will look forward to seeing you.

Cheers for now.

Yes i agree with syllabus23, punting is a hard game to give up completely. I've had the odd year away from it which is not such a bad thing, we come back refreshed.

Small bets are another option. I'm sure $2 a bet punters have as much fun and excitement as $100 a bet punters, but suffer a heck of a lot less stress!
