What cheeses me off

Let us know when you are going to miss some in the future and someone can lay them on and share the spoils.

I can assure you it's not planned.

P.S. I'm actually in front this year so with these missed bets could have been a great year as these are the cream on top.

At High school I was one of 2 in partnership as the schools bookmaker. It was only the Melbourne cups but in 6 years we never lost. Our best result was when Even Stevens won at 3/1 when our profit was a bit over 100 pounds each. the worst result was with Lord Fury with our profit was just 50 pounds each. The bookies never lost.

The bookies never lost.

That doesn't mean that punters don't win.

But you've said before overall you are not in front that you have lost thousands

In the past yes. I'm not chasing the past. If I did then I'd go nuts.

In 1989 I buy a $117,000 unit in Sydney inner South-West that is now maybe worth $500,000.

In 1992 someone I know bought 2 x $40,000 apartments in Shanghai and they are both worth over $1million each

In 1992 another person I know bought a Queenslander near Brisbane City for around $125,000 and its now worth $3million untouched.

What does that tell you? You need extreme luck.
