You would make $80 000 /year as a hobby,and you don't wont to give up you day job?

I got nothing more to say.
cheeeeeeers.


Hi baco!
I don't usually get involved in any argument I did not start myself but you are way off the mark here! Filante was talking about a "Turnover of $80 000" not profit of $80 000

And He might be on a salary of $200 000 a year guaranteed!!!!
Not just maybe if he wins????
Cheers!

Filante said they turn over $80.000 a year, there is a big difference to making $80.000 a year and turning that much over.....if working on a 20% turn over profit...and that is an extream that still only amounts to $16.000....not to many retire on that amount.


just relised that was my 900th post 100 more and i reach the 1000 club....seams only yesterday i hit 500

Shaun,

Sorry to be a real nitpicker, but why do you put a decimal point in there? It's $80000 or $80,000 or $80 000. It's not $80.000

That's $16000 per annum tax free level stakes betting.

If he only increases his bet only each time his bank doubles in size (roughly twice a year) that equates to a lot more than $16,000. It's a very nice living tax free with a pretty good pay increase each year.

Neil, I seem to have opened a can of worms here. Thanks for your reply, shame the 'specials" are not available seperately. I "thought" I was very realistic in my expectations , working with ideas that have shown around 20%POT on both past and actual results, not a system as such, just ratings with filters really, but hoping long term to clear 10% (on turnover). so we agree there, also I agree that the patience factor is THE factor.
Anther thing that amazes me though is that people who are serious but still invest at NSW tab, or SP etc etc when they can have the best tote or Top Fluc merely by opening an account????

Smile Just happy to be making profits . . . .

Dear All,
I have been betting on and off for 10-15 years and until recently had been contributing to the pockets of the bookies (and winning punters like you guys).

I had mainly been using the tips of others over that time and found that actual results over a period of time always seemed to vary from claims.

I for one am happy to be betting Propunter's super specials as part of their premium betting package, and a making a nice profit doing so. Even a 10% plus POT long term is still better than losing the average 15% totes take.

Sure you can get a run of outs - but the last 5 super specials have won over the last two weeks. Forget all the nonsense about making lots of bets just to get turnover - I don't know anyone that would complain about 5 from 5 who was serious about their punting.

If you know your expectancy theory its completely sound to "bet-up" on higher strike rates to achieve turnover.

Adrian, great if it works for ya! my concern though is if you pay $2,000 for the info working on 10% POT that means you have bet $20,000 for no other reason than to have the bet (and that's not counting phone calls) if there's only one bet a week on ave. Then you have invested $500 (approx) on every nag without any hope of making a red cent , but a VERY real possibility of being on the losing end. NOT having a go at anyone here just talking numbers.

You are right in your mathematics - assuming only a 10% result was achieved.

My experience is that to date it has been substantially better, and the super specials are not the only selection method provided that provide value.

This is my second year with Propunter, and I can assure you that I wouldn't be using the service again this year if I wasn't showing net profits.

About your rationalisation on costs - How many punters would lose $50 per week on average without even a hope of winning ? Just go and have a look at the local TAB ?? So . . . . at $40 per week Propunter is not really that expensive is it ? Even if it was just helping people avoid making those losses.

As Einstein would say it's all about relativity . . . . .

Even just buying a Sportsman and the Best Bets magazine costs $10/week.

I know $1980 may seem a bit of a hit upfront but I guess those serious punters who subscribe to the service are able to rationalise what they are really getting.

Happy punting
