Greetings fellow punting enthusiasts!
I have been a part-time and very amateur punter for years. For a long time I always considered it to be just a bit of fun - either at the pub or for a day out at the track.
However, on numerous occasions the thought did occur to me that when I wasn't swayed (and I was often swayed) by extraneous factors and a whole lot of BS, including the usual suspects of over-confidence, drunkenness, desperation and expert opinions, I actually did quite well.
Fast forward to 2013. I am now 40. I have been a professional in my industry for 20 years, and have done ok for myself and my family. But I am sick of my job, and sick of my industry. More than that, I am sick to death of working for somebody else. I have plans in place to grow my assets so I can retire one day, lead a decent life, and hopefully give something to my kids. But my assets wax and wane due to factors way beyond my control, and when they do grow, it is quite slowly...
I was lying in bed one night last month, and it came to me that if I came up with a decent system, using my nous, some basic rules and a whole lot of homework, I might be able to provide enough of a return on my punting to replace my current income.
I decided to put together my system, and start doing some trials. This blog is a record of that journey. I am keeping track of it to help keep myself honest, to record the many thoughts and ideas that flow through my mind, and, if it works, to hopefully give some inspiration to others.
Wish me luck!
