Default Re: ATR - Who are we?

Joe aged 24. Been gambling now for about 18 months
Used to gamble for a laugh before I watched a footie game or whatever, but was extremely bored at Uni and was skint so started betting on horses for a laugh and just looking at the form really. Started getting into it and learning more, then stumbled accross this place and been gaining more knowledge ever since. Even ended up writing my dissertation on The effect on online gambling on the industry as a whole!
Managed to turn 2 quid into 70 at uni which helped a lot at the time! Mainly helped by a tip on here, Klasson to win the darts at 100/1. Wish I put more than a few pence on it!
Donīt really lay horses, will bet EW if 5/1 or more as a rule.

Still learning but feel Iīm improving each month

Bigges tthing I have learnt is what not to bet on I think this year. Used to make too many bets but over time you learn what races you are not as strong in, and what you are, although I would not say I have a specific strength or favourite race.

Prefer the flat and Im annoyed its nearly over, but still like the jumps!
