why do you punt?

Odd question i know,

I used to punt till i dropped then realised im not going to get rich or make any kind of profit punting horses

Would be nice to know why ppl choose to have a bet,is it a way out making the grocery bucks,or making the bond payment,or is having a bet make a punter feel involved in a race,etc

Im guessing most posters bar the voyeurs on this site dnt need to punt to pay the bills,so why risk money

I just like watching racing and appreciate the horse after some very painful punting lessons

I love to punt,im no pro and tbh i dont give a shit if i lose,it`s my leisure dollar,i dont smoke and hardly drink and still get a great buzz from punting.

I used to be disciplined but i dont care now,my style of gambling is a full toss/all or nothing.
I tip horses e/w on the site because i believe that i have a care of duty to the clan..lol but i never bet e/w..
The bigger the price the more i have on -D

ps following my rules is very dangerous,remember always bet cash/debit never borrow or lend to a gambler

soodum
Here is an honest answer.
Although my wife and I have a small business which she had started as a hobby, but it has now ended up a full time business. That is our daily bread and butter.

Punting is my OWN business and treated like a business on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. We have freehold cars and freehold house and we are both lucky to go overseas every year. ( each of us at least 4 times a year).
At one time , I used to spend about 6k on KZN meetings, 3K on Gauteng and about 2k on Cape meetings.

I am not scared to have a punt. If we have info, we can lay up to a 50k bet. There are 4 associates on ABC that do that and we are not scared to have a punt.

I take a PA everyday but do not necessarily have a punt everyday, only if we hear something.

NB: There are bigger punters than me on this forum (I know that for a fact), BUT they would not even respond to this thread.

because i am addicted !

Howz't Ant.
No phone calls these days .
Call me tomorrow before Bettingworld prices up for Tuesday.

good to read you you had a few good wins . Keep it up !

0800 006 008 only a call away

It can be a dangerous game

I reckon it is more the thrill than anything else that keeps me coming back every day. But i must admit i think i am an addict as well:)

I am totally debt-free and earn in one day from my business what I spend in a month on gambling . I only play the horses.

When I started as a kid, it was to make money. Today, when I realise that you can either make big money, or, lose bigger, I get the greater thrill that my selection/s come in!

Even if not, I enjoy the trip!

The lack of consistent control, accountability, see-saw dividends, transparent feedback/comment (except what we get on this forum from our die-hard clan members), pettiness of individuals, etc., stops me from ever owning a horse or getting into a partnership again!

I think it was East who had a winning shot of 8000/2000 recently.
Could recall many great bets by the Clan.
Above all is it possible to punt for a living as in having a budget to follow?
If so whats the secret of success?

Only one way to succeed, is to buy a budgie with no teeth

You have to be patient and not bet every race.
My best punting is march to may,UK maidens.
I punt SA for value and to listen to Dumpy...
