I am a 37 year old man with 2 kids (6 years, girl and 9 months, boy) and a partner of god knows how many years. Live in a reasonable part of Reading with all the mod cons a person like me could wish for. However I have a big vice – I love a punt. I have always been sporty, but as the years have passed I have moved from playing all kind of sport to punting on it. Hasn’t got me in to trouble as yet, but I have this feeling nagging away in side of me that if I don’t get a grip soon it will.
1st August 2007 is D-Day, I am going to start making this pay. No more betting on every race just for the thrill, no more betting on any event that takes my fancy, no more Poker when I am bored. I am going to become selective and detail on a daily basis exactly what I am up to. I think this will make me think twice about what I am doing. When I look through my history for the last 3 months, I could have made so much more profit just by sticking to strong fancies and trading, rather than the scatter gun approach I have taken up to now.
I have a target of £25k profit by 31st December 2008, and will document (with Screenshots), on a daily basis, details of my profit and loss.
I am also going to provide a diary of my life outside of Gambling as I grow with my young family, as I am hoping not every day is going to be taken up with Punting, and to be honest I hate my current job and would love to find an alternative way of providing an Income.
My weapon of choice for this venture is Betfair mainly, but I will be using other Bookmakers when the opportunity arises.
