However you just may be the exception to the rule and I wish you good luck with it.

Darky,
I agree, to make a living from the punt you need to turn over quite a lot each year. And anywhere from 3 - 7% POT would be a great outcome on large turnover.
What i find interesting though, is that you say you have been betting for many many years. Wouldn't this long period have allowed you to build up a sufficient enough bank to reach the turnover you need.? If you were a winning punter over all those years, you would have built your bank to allow enough turnover like you suggest above.
So perhaps Mr Barry is right. Maybe it's just that you can't win at this game.
