Couldn't agree more.
Sure you can win big on a particular day or series of days but through the thick and thin that range is the benchmark.
Never met or heard of anyone serious and credible who does better

Just because you haven't met them doesn't mean they don't exist.

i've met 'em Ok - on forums 24/7.

What i said was " Never met or heard of anyone serious and credible who does better"

There was a person on one forum somewhere who claimed was using arbitrage techniques which meant losing on BF and winning 10's of $$thousands per week from corporate bookmakers - and never faced any restrictions - and ( here's the killer) said it all with a straight face.


anyhow each to there own.

LOL I remembers it well!

No chance, no way, not possible.

I guess it comes down to how your work your numbers. I make 2-3% on turnover year in year out, BUT if I calculated my overall % profit on actual risks taken, it would be around 100%.
Today as an example, a very slow quiet day, I made an ok 3.32% POT, yet profit on risk (if every race was won by my worst result) was a huge 236%, as I had many races where I had no risk at all..

understand.
well really when you think about it - it gets down to P - not POT or PO risk or P on anything.


all you can eat is P

I wasn't referring to fantasy like this, I am referring to the guys that you never hear about. I am fortunate enough to know someone who has consistently made over 15% POT for the past 4 years between Australian and Hong Kong racing so like I said they do exist.

well if i never hear about them .....how can i say that i know of them ????
even worse how could i say i've met them.

my view is that most serious punters are very secretive .
silent about their wins and silent about their losses.



any how off we go.

cheers
