Anyone who's as old as me has never had it so good- We used to pay £50 a day to go to the races travel and exe's - had betting tax to contend with.We scraped a living- punting on course against some good judges. our study was done by the form book- timeform black book and memory. No tv coverage or replays. If you made it pay then you were very good !!! -ITS EASY NOW COME ON LADS WERE LIVING A DREAM - WOULD YOU AGREE?

The only major problem punters face today, is the " losers only" policy of bookmakers. Closed and restricted accounts are a nightmare.

technology has made it alot easier to judge the form, but it still wont turn a bad judge into a good judge.
Technology has also helped to change my mindset from being only a punter to a weekly layer |

Valid Reason second. |
