Earning a living gambling Easy or hard????

[Tipster5000]

Im going to stick my neck out here and i hope you guys will support me on this! Im going to see how i would get on in a gamblers mind to raise a profit from a starting bank. I will start with a Cash balance of £500 and will only bet Monday - Friday leaving Saturday and Sunday out (As i find this is the hardest days to raise a profit) I will try and use my knowledge to figure out my bets and work out which horses i think i should bundle my money on and which ones i shouldnt and hope to raise a lot of money (Or it could go Pete Tong and i could end up with nothing) Anyway i will be back on before the first races to put my thoughts up on todays racing and also my stakes. In my view this is a system as i am using my filters which im finding to be working very well, So hopefully the admin wont move this to Glory hunters

[Datapunter]

If you put reasoning for each horse you're fine.

Good luck

Thats defiantely NOT a way to bet if you want to do it for a living you should always have a minimum & maximum thats why most people use a 1 to 10 points system because just because you really fancy one you should not suddenly lump 20 or 30 points on it.

And to the actual question it depends how much you want to earn and what you want to pay for from earning a living from gambling this is what determines how hard it is

[Cassius Marcellus]

For starters, don't bet at Newmarket-by-the-sea (Yarmouth) unless you're a Newmarket based jockey, a Newmarket based trainer, or P. Chapple Hyam fancies one of his, as The Kop in full song make less noise.

Other than that, get in the bogs while a race is on and listen to the trainers.

[Tipster5000]

What i was hoping for was to at least double my winnings guys i.e £500 into £1000 by gradually upping my stakes and so on so forth this is more of a excercise to see what happens gradually over time. Didnt do that bad at Ayr but Yarmouth was difficult. I will update my scores and bank tommorow.
