In fact I think there are very few pro. punters in Oz. Big punters sure, but Pro. punters who live off punting? I don't think so.

Well Crash,
That's interesting because if one can turn in $500.00 a week that's 26,000 per year, without a lot of expenses that is fairly easy to live off.. So 4 -5 sizable bets of $5,000 per year based on $2-3 return would put a punter in the right ball park..
I read in the paper of one or two guys that bet in the 10s of thousands each week and show a profit, so if they can do it, why can't we?
I stll recon it can be done..
