Sounds as though I don’t qualify either because my partner works ( albeit part- time ) Never mind, I’ve never thought of myself as a ‘ hardy soul’ anyway.
I wouldn’t say APracing couldn’t make a ‘ decent income ‘ from media work alone, but I do have some idea how much he’s paid for writing and TV work.I also have some idea of his betting – Lets just say I’d take his betting winnings any day….. the man is a very shrewd judge.
Not on a horse Esc, but i still feel angry when i think of a football bet i made about a couple of months back.<br>The bet was placed out of greed. After a fairly good spell punting i came across 11/10 Preston to win HT/FT where the biggest i could see elsewhere was 10/11. <br>I know that screams ‘value’ to most punters but it’s just not my way of betting, i try hard not to play at short odds. In truth i find it too difficult to determine a 11/10 shot from a 10/11 shot and even if i found it easy i’m pretty certain i still wouldn’t want to know. Too many winners required at those prices for my liking – and stakes.<br>As you know, i come down on the ‘getting value’ side – but there is a cut off point. Dare say i’ll have another rush of blood sometime though……… and the Preston game,….. 0-0.<br>Nev.
When it comes down to assessing ‘ value’ I really don’t see much point in arguing because it’s purely a personal view, barring the obvious examples [ 11/10 the toss of a coin ]<br>In know way am I saying punters can’t win money betting at SP, [ I did, mainly at SP for three years], but I would definitely say that by backing the same animals, using the internet, the phone and time, that I’d make more profit than the SP bettor. That is basically how I’d define ‘value’, getting the best possible price available.  <br>Nev.<br>
