Why semi professional? Well although I
make significant and consistent sums betting, I earn elsewhere
as well. Hence semi professional.
I could however if I wished, pack in the
other work and make a decent living out of betting alone. Someday
I may do just that.
I today's day and age it has never been
easier for a punter to actually win at betting. The internet boom
has given rise to many new opportunities and the dropping of betting
tax a year or so ago has made a huge impact on the number of punters
that can now expect to win more than they lose.
This site was first put online in 1999.
The initial aim of the site was to proof
and verify horse racing tipsters.
Each month tables would be produced etc
showing profit and loss figures etc.
That is a role I carried out for several
years. However this is an area I no longer dedicate much time
to. As the time went on I found my interests drawing more and
more towards making my own betting selections.
As this interest in my own betting grew,
the tipster proofing dried up.
A case of me simply following my own heart.
Behind the scenes I do still monitor several
services who have consented to have their betting records verified
here by my good self.
The majority are of little use. See the
The Con Zone
section see read about some of the tricks pulled by the more dubious.
Any however that catch my eye and I feel
are a cut above the rest, I will let my Newsletter subscribers
know about.
Very often I will push a tipster to offer
my subscribers here a free trial.
If you are interested in receiving free trial
information from tipsters I assess to have potential I suggest you
sign up to the Free
Newsletter .
Since 1999 I have
respected the privacy of my users.
Newsletters are rare, so no inboxes full
of junk, no subscriber details have ever or will ever be passed
on to third parties.
In addition to tipster reports and free trials you will also
find in the newsletter my thoughts, theories and ideas on how
to improve your own betting.
I personally have been barred many times by bookmakers, others
reduce my permitted stakes to peanuts which is effective barring.
They are beatable. I can help show you how.
This area of Betting Technique is how I plan to develop the site
along in the future.
