Assuming that everyone who bets keeps records i'd be interested to know how much the average punter wins or loses.I bet in modest amounts usually between £20 and £50 and have had hundreds of bets since beginning of January with a net win of £300 which is a tiny return for the amount of effort.
Including when I started gambling up until 2009 I'm a down a huge amount, I was a madder.
In the last three years on here and daq I'm around 3 or 4k up, it was wayyy more than that but I did my nuts in spectacular stylee to an embarrassing amount at The Breeders Cup last year.

Roquebrune have been thinking about your comment which has an obvious consistency about it however am wondering if it would make more sense to bet to win a consistent amount on every bet. For example if one sets a win target of £100 then if betting a horse at 2/1 you would stake £50 and at 4/1 £25.
Anyone got any experience of betting this way.

I am £102 down on the year while betting most days. That compares to £1500 up on financial investment (it was £9000 up at the end of april) so it is not a significant part of my financial affairs. I bet for fun but invest for income. My profit/loss on betting per year is about equal to my profit/loss from 100 point movement in the FTSE 100.

As far as staking is concerned, it depends on how and why you bet. If I have researched a race thoroughly, I might have a decent sized bet but if I am having what I call a "boredom bet" on a race that happens to be on next, it is usually only £2 or £3. I also back and lay a lot.

A couple of grand down so far this year but as a lot of my punting is to do with Godolphin stables I do expect to recover over the next 4 months when their winners tend to come.
The weather dents my confidence and it has effected the size of fields either being too wet or too dry.
The Sherwood stable has been extremely unlucky for me, what with horses seemingly given lousy rides and horses pulled up for reported breathing problems and on 3 occasions jockeys falling off between flights when cantering its not been the stables best season but I am frightened not to persevere.
Anyway, I live in hope. luck to all.

It is a betfair fact that 15% of their horseracing customers are winners
but that only 2% of their horseracing customers win in excess of £15000
per annum. Good luck.

If someone has a 20,000+ bank here, then yes I would believe that you are making some nice profits through trading and minimising risk. To anyone else, it's hit and miss, as just backing and laying certain horses can be very random and thus it is extremely hard to make a consistent profit.
I only started using the site last week after taking a hiatus, but I've just been using it for the forum because I like to use the 'insurebet' on bookies sites when I am backing a horse.

It never ever ceases to amaze me, the absolutely one-dimensional moronic opinion of losing punters that because they cant win, no one else can.

I finished my fifth gambling year of keeping records on may 5th. I made £17,332 profit which worked out at £6.05 per hour,I have made similar profits over the previous five years and if I live to the u.k. average age I might just break even if I take into account the losses over the previous 30 years while serving my apprenticeship.Wonderful!!

Hi Posy, Personally think that is a horrible way to bet. If you fancy two horses equally, one is Evs the other is 10-1, why put £100 on one and only £10 on the other? Now if you put £10 on the Evs horse and £100 on the 10-1 shot, you are likely to be on the right track to long term profit if you've a good selection process.

So you dont need to provide pics if youre a losing punter and say you are?!
You are unbelievable.
If I were to provide a pic of my P&L over the last year, you would just say I mocked it up, any old mug with half a brain can do that.
Whats the point in posting in the first place if all you are going to do disbelieve every word any winning punter says?

I have worked in two betting companies, had access to many, many peoples betting accounts. And I know for a fact that people who win, either have huge banks and are highly connected, or else they win only once or twice and do not bet regularly, because the only get some information.
To say that you regularly and consistently make a lot of money, is obviously horse****. Now post two screenshots of your profit, the second screenshot highlight all text on the page with your cursor so we know you haven't mocked it up.

misselephantstone, I am not doubting it is possible, theoretically, but I would like to know more about how you would go about doing that. Could you also post a screenshot of your P&L?

how do I do a screeshot,I,m just copying and pasting. How do I do it? I study form,reruns most days,I initially look for what I consider value and bet or lay appropriately,I use gruss software and have set limits on each click,I use a "fill or kill" option as I think I am okay at spotting during a race when a price maybe wrong for the individual set of circumstance at that precise moment(the fill or kill cancels my bet immediately if not matched rather than leave in the system)apart from that I dont know what to tell you.If you tell me how to do a screenshot I will.

The OP asked a question. I answered along with everyone else.
If the people who reply saying they profit are liars or seeking reassurance then whats the point in the question ffs YSDC?! Surely the wuestion should be asked 'who is losing? because anyone who replies saying they are in profit is in a lose-lose situation clearly.

If I was in profit by a couple of K, then I would want to back up my claims with proof, especially if people are questioning the validity of my claims.

Why not back it up with a screenshot and then I will hold my hand up and apologise for not believing you.

I must admit that I have often considered with everything else going on where most of my profit comes from?I think it would be nice to know if the majority of my in run play is gained from people consolidating positions (traders,bookmakers etc)as I really cant believe sometimes there are punters actually offering the prices I see sometimes (esp in lay bets)as surely they wouldnt still be around, and is this pot going to change in the near future?This might not make a lot of sense but I know what im trying to say

But I think its important to state that, even tho I am using live pics, and I do know they are behind ,I am basing my bets on what my form study has led me to believe will happen rather than what I am actually seeing,tho if the race doesnt unfold the way I think then I dont bet.

not really,cos my old account got hacked the funds that managed to get recovered got transferred by betfair into my new account ( £2,600 approx) so there was a starting bank already there.
