Hi All,

I've been checking the forums infrequently lately and as i'm sure many of you have noticed there isn't a whole lot of material being added - or not to the extent that there used to be.

Was just curious who is still around and how are your punting experiences going? A couple of the main people i've interacted within previously are Uselessbettor and Shaun, so i'm not sure if you lads are still around but anyone else is welcome to reply too.

I'm still just going day by day, week by week recording data and trialing things but still yet to find anything I can follow in a simple manner for horse racing. I have no doubt that understanding the data and the area's value are likely to exist have helped shape my betting to be more profitable but its still just from a recreational point of view. There's no system for me to follow yet that I can reliably follow knowing that in 3 months time there's a solid chance ill have some profit.

Which leads me to the other side of the coin, sport punting. Me and a mate have been following NBA prop bets for two full seasons now and made substantial profit from a units point of view. However there's no room to expand the outlay side of things because then you get limited or banned. So I continue to plod along with small stakes making a tidy profit each season as some side money.

For AFL I've finally read my second book since graduating from uni 10 years ago haha and its helped shape my models and approach to betting it. There's some prop betting as well with AFL that i'm trialing for the first time this season and finding success with but once again because its such a soft market its easier to find the profit, but hard to increase stakes without being banned or limited.

Finally there's NRL which I have next to no knowledge in myself, but my mate who does the NBA with has a model and follows the sport so he passes his picks through which I follow.

There's definitely some sports and soft underlying markets out there to make profit on, its just not as sustainable or life changing because you are limited as to how much you can increase staking or fly under the radar. Racing has been by far the most difficult for me to find something to follow consistently.

Anyhow thats turned into a long post. Anyone else got something to add?

hi eva ..good post..seems a lot have dropped off here .i mean stop posting not the other "dropping off".but we still have the archives from day 1 ..makes good reading on winter nights ....good punting [but more important good health] to all today ..punting gods please put a wing on each foot on syd r4 no5 entente..i need a win to pay for my meds next week [only kidding] cheers TOG..

long, long, time since I posted here, but just to assure you that we ("old timers" still look in but don't comment, I'm sure that I don't need to explain why) ??

Still here, still going.
Last year was huge, turnover up, profit up, and way back down this year.

I do have a question/request.
If anyone knows hot to program a bot to us with Betangel, email me.
I'm willing to pay or even share what I would like to do.
It involves UK racing which I just cannot stay up and work anymore.

G'day Mark,

No experience with Bet Angel but use Marketfeeder Pro which is fairly straightforward to program and has a helpful user's Forum. The people behind the program provide quick feedback and advice in my experience.

Thanks mate. I had a look, no mention of SP which is what I need. Plus I am less than a dummy when it comes to programming. I know what I want to do, just need someone else to set it all up for me. I have one at the moment but it has its glitches and the person who did it for me has no idea why. I can't work that way.

Good to see you Party, long time for me since last log in, years actually.
We used to exchange a few messages.


Best of luck to you and all here.

G'Day BD 'n'all yes, still kicking; not investing anywhere near as much these days, got banned several places and restricted others, kinda took the wind out of my sails.
But I've still got a couple of die hard plans that just keep on producing and are easier to, well, camouflage.

Very quiet on here. Forums like this seem to be dying out in the days of social media. But I still post my ratings on here each week and I'll be starting up the tipping comp soon.

Hmmm.

I'll post one up shortly, in case people feel I have some kind of ownership over Melbourne Cup threads; the Andrew Ramsden is on next week after all. I can't promise my input will be as in-depth as in previous years; my interest in racing is fluctuating a bit at present.


On that - and in answer to the thread query - I still check in here most days but don't feel inspired or engaged enough to contribute much. My own analysis and betting goes in fits and starts, either kicked off by a Sportz tipping comp or via my own boredom - and usually is finished off for a while by a losing run!
