Think he mentioned that his turnover was £30,000 per week Easily done if your laying a few . Rico probably does that in a day. |

Back in the day you were laughed at and called a lazy work shy B if you dare say you were a pro gambler.
I knew quite a few who packed in their jobs to turn pro. They all failed. |

Not easy to be a pro punter,I knew a guy packed in his job to do just that,nerves were shredded shortly and started doubting his selections.

I don't know the guy and will probably never meet him but I thought Shane Reville came across really well in the interviews.
He came across as an unassuming, everyday bloke who has built on his passion amd interest to make it a living for him and fair play to him. From working in betting shops, trading rooms shows he's put a good grounding in and I liked that he was very quick to put a lot of praise on learning from Alex Farquhar which I thought showed a lot of humility and affirms that he's somebody who puts the work in and has stood the test of time. Like Andy Holding who mentions Steve Gough as somebody who he saw as a mentor when starting out, it seems this is a big assistance in getting better and more consistent results. |

He was asked how much of his bank he would have on if offered 5/2 heads . He said a lot of it -but Kelly criterion says 30% .
I thought his 30k a week turnover was backing -didn't get the impression he laid. If so assuming a 5% profit on turnover (that's what Billy Hill is supposed to have made) then thats a profit of around £1500 a week tax free -or £80k a year -but I'd assume he'd have non gambling weeks -and of course it ain't guaranteed. |

less pressure if you have a second income or part time job , having something coming every week win or lose takes the" must win " burden off the back .bills still need paying win or lose.

I doubt it Somerset, it's a case of supply and demand isn't it, the demand isn't there on course anymore unfortunately.
