I think it can be done on course if you have the proper mindset.

Only if every day was like the last 2. Just need Strong Leader and Taurus Bay for an unforgettable day with 5 wins from 8 bets so far, most at decent odds. No doubt things will return to normal very soon. Andrew Balding in the last week has been a big help with 10 wins from 27 in 14 days.

The irony of Aceform being on this thread

It is not that difficult, but there is a certain mystique about it, and a level of scepticism.
It is like most things,if you put in the work and have adequate discipline then it is not too hard. It ain't rocket science. |

Doubtful you will find any in the Uk or Ireland who earn full income going from course to course on a weekly basis….
That also includes punting from home….pre race win or EW……. A million tbh….. |
|
By:
so nobody on betfair punting pre race is making a living wage each year ?

By:
Win only no laying or trading just getting a good price…..paying the 2 %……difficult….i will be having a dig this up and coming flat season….win and place only….
I’ve binned the laying of football….. |

Post any bet that you have had on BF in the last 30 days,aceform.
It really isn't difficult |

Also pays to keep a record on riders and trainers on profit and loss….as well as racecourses…..
There’s a person on here who has kept records since the seventies……I admire him tbh….knows exactly how much… |

What has any previous username got to do with posting "actual" bets,Glasgow?
|
|
By:
Probably two or three Glasgow tbh…
|

By:
That you are a "two bobber" is irrelevant,Aceform.
You at least do have some bets. |
|
By:
You would have more chance Iron being on course playing with readies rather than sitting on the pc every day slagging people….
|
|
By:
That you are a "twenty-nine-pound-thirty-niner" is also irrelevant, uptheirony.
Didn't stop you telling the Forum all about it though did it? |

Are you for real, OP? The incessant "appearances" of professional punters lately (hardly in the past when bookies operated as bookies) is a clear indication professional punting is as good as history unless some within the betting industry are "bribed". Even then AC would further extinguish any hope of being a professional punter for long.
|
|
By:
YouTube is overloaded with professional punters,X is also drowning……
Most ask for money to join them,true pro punters (if any) don’t mix with anyone they live the lonely enjoyable life….. Imagine being on course trying a make a few quid with people squawking….. |
|
By:
I'm sure there are stll a few around who 'exist' from punting, but from their appearance, the only self-proclaimed pro punters we get to see on our screens look like they shop in the local charity shop, which is quite telling.

there are some, probably more unknowns who keep under the radar , from a personal point of view id have a "why put yourself under extra pressure "of relying on punting to pay the bills expenses etc and keeping the bank/banks topped up , a few i would say alan potts and screamingbeneaththewaves are known to use the forum alan used to post as the anorak and screaming still does those 2 are the nearest to pro punting that ive heard of , i suppose if you can make money selling tips would come in handy but if you are knocking out tips for cash you are not relying solely on punting for a living . much less pressure if you have one or two passive incomes coming in for when losing runs occour .

very probably ace, once the bookies had their card marked from the machine, the game was really up.

Was 'Irish Whisper' not a pro punter once? Now he's a pr person with one of the O'Brien's on the Flat. It's without doubt the bookies will collude with hmrc given AML, willingly.
I'm down to one antepost bet post the injury to Sir Gino. Then 'adios' horse putting. |
|
By:
As foyles says above it's about pressure - much less pressure if you punt without needing to rely on those winnings from betting.
Then, ironically, you are much more likely to actually earn from betting (rather than spend). I take my hat off to anyone who can earn solely from punting, but I don't envy it to be honest - even Harry Findlay apparently wrote about worrying he was going to just keel over someday from the stress of it all. |
