how much do you realistically think you could win a day/week?

===============================================================

What someone else does is not really relevant to how much you can make ...or keep.....

All depends what sport and what markets you bet on ...so as i believe it is FOOTBALL markets you are interested in.....and it is more "luck" based, would believe it wuld be dangerous tp compare someone else's performance against yours....

Just SMALL STAKES used ...and a profit of over 100 made ....but that is spending afternoon doing bets etc......So a large bank is not needed to make a profit ....but it does help psychologically to have a large bank.

Did I just open a can of worms...

OK - it's late so no time for an essay, but the point I made was exactly that it is all a question of trying to quantify how likely a particular outcome is. We all know Man U are a better football team than Fulham, but knowing that is not enough.  We need to know what happens if the game is played a thousand times (and the answer is not that Man U will win a thousand times because they are the better team)?

Horse racing is an entirely different beast. The market has always been nearer the true odds at the shorter end of the market and further away at the more fanciful end. In a conventional sense big priced outsiders do represent value, but the fact that they are outsiders is also often an indicator that all is not well. If the market speaks I listen to it.

I firmly believe you can consistently turn over a decent wage. The 1% per day sounds about right.
But we all know it isn't about making money, it's about holding on to it. It takes a lot of practice to take a pounding and not steam you're bank into oblivion.
Gamblers don't lose their bankroll by losing bets, they lose their bankroll by continuosly making STUPID bets. (usually after a large loss or when you're drunk or stoned.)
You're obviously switched on and i presume you've had the experience of chasing and making a complete cnt of yourself and waking up the next day feeling worse.(i know i have) Well how would you feel if you blew 10K? If you feel confident enough not to make this mistake, i reckon you could have a go. But bail out if you blow 50% and take a week to breath.
By the way, i always like having my opinions questioned so i can evaluate my carry on. It's called learning. Thats why you started this thread. but as usual the fkn numpties arrived. Zipper was giving sound advice. And sound advice and opinions from a dude that has managed to play this game for 5 decades deserves respect. I am a value man too but he gave me a lot of food for thought. Its a pity the TOOLS ruined you're thread.
