Default Re: ATR - Who are we?

I am James and I turned 19 last month and I am student of politics at Queen Mary University in London. I have always been interest in sport and many kinds of sport from a very young age and even watched Klinsmann at Spurs first time live when I was 5. Since the turn of the century I have had a season ticket and get to all the home games and some away although not too many and I will be off in an hour tonight.
As for horse racing i have always followed it but only in the last year have I legally bet on it and with a fair bit of foolish decisions to start with but I feel I have improved with experience but being a student funds are not brilliant. My Dad put on a fair few bets in the past notably Rough Quest in the 1996 National which is the only time I have won that race and I think I got £7 for a £1 which was a lot for me then. Cornish Rebel was my first bet in the 2006 Gold Cup and I thought I was dead unlucky that day as it was cruising until a mistake four out and I won the Derby for the first time this year. Generally if I have a forumla whish I do not really it is to have a collection of horses I see and put them in the Racing post notebook and add to it, sometimes it works, I remember Boscobel first time at Kempton last winter and thinking that will go on and it ended up winning at Royal Ascot, a lot of times it does not. I am probably still very raw in the betting world but hopefully I am and will get even better.
