Thank you.
I will relate to it later on about addictions etc. - it's a very important topic.
Just a bit busy now to discuss it, but I'd relate to it later on.
Gambling addiction is a serious problem, and like I mentioned in this thread and exemplified - it's very much addicting ... there are so many ways to gamble and it's also tempting for many "houses" (=gambling establishments) to take commission from all this action.
Being the house is the smartest thing to do ... being a gambler is not so smart, it's like you being a customer, not a business owner ... so you have to abide by the business rules, it's a 2nd class option vs 1st class, however you look at it.
The addiction itself - MUST be arrested if necessary, that means that people who say here "control it, don't bet if you don't have to" don't understand that it doesn't work that way .... preventing any access to money or to quick funds is the right way to move it forward ...
If you have no money - you cannot bet.
If you have no money - you cannot gamble.
The term "arresting the addiction" must be applied if you feel like you cannot put things under control.
Now regarding this type of betting (that I did) - I treated it like an investment, like buying a stock in the market, it has gained nicely in % so I decided to quit ... I think if I'd want to try it again I'd use Skrill or Neteller or another proper form of deposit to avoid fees such as 2% for Bitcoin, or use an agent that takes Bank Transfers or any other proper form of deposit, or use BetFair directly (although I'm slightly against this option as agents are more reliable in my opinion and don't cause lots of hassles).
Anyway I hope this way of gambling has been proven to many of you to be quite successful, there were very few risks with these bets, as I mentioned perhaps 2 or 3 bets out of over 100 bets were in a high risk position, so it's considerably not bad, but you must learn how to choose the right place .... for instance South Africa and Singapore are places where horses of 150 win too often .... in Australia it's a much different territory.
If anyone has other questions or feedback please feel free to post it here.
If you are still online on this forum, I would like to ask you which website did you use to check about races in Australia.
The biggest website (Attheraces.com) ignore races in Australia, even though I was saying your strategy is dangerous (but all are, right?) I am still curious to get some more informations about the races (Maiden, Handicap, etc.). And if you come back I will be interested to keep an eye on your next strategy.
And very well done by the way, it is rare to see someone leaving after a profit. Most people always come back and end up losing eventually. So kudos!
