I didn’t used to hide behind a couch, as such, Uncle Dazzler. I put two armchairs together. And put my fingers in my ears for a while. Belt and braces, you know ?
As regards your question* concerning my punting, no, alas, I stopped a short while ago on divine instructions ! In any case, it would take me years, decades to catch up to the levels you guys operate at. It took me half a century to get some kind of handle on the racing ! Seriously, imho, making money from racing is a vocation like any other. You’re meant to make a living from it or your not.
Whether Butch Cassidy and Sundance do, it seems highly likely you could. Not that relying on the golf and horse-racing for your income wouldn’t cause stress at times, but your tennis … well, it sure looks like you’re in the box-seat versus the bookies. Just my two penn’orth.
*I missed your question in an older post.
