      Strikes me as a real decent bloke. This wasn't long before I more or less gave the punt away because my work started to take up too much time, which didn't leave me enough time to do the form sufficient enough to give me much of a chance. I figured that it was hard enough to win putting in the time and effort, so I'd only be donating money to the bookies if I continued on. The number of bookies had well and truly dwindled by that time, so there really wasn't much competition to offer attractive prices anymore, not in Newcastle anyway.

    Terry Page said in the media in 1977, to the effect, ' put it this way, I haven't been winning '. Then in 1988 he comes back with, " I'll back South Sydney to make the semis, if anyone wants to take me on. ". And he'd have got done on that. I had a real mind to actually have some of that, but my personal finances were not going ideally enough, so I let it go. This is all public media stuff which I'm citing.

    I wish I could punt where I am. I'm stuck with the pari-mutuals which means I don't know the final odds of the horse until right after the race starts. If a bookie could give me odds, and stick with them, then there would be a potential to make money playing the horses.

      @@tommyhughes2264 Racing was happening well before the public as a whole could gamble. It started in the 1600’s so it will always be a thing whether the racecourses have 10 punters or thousands. The money will never stop online so tell me how are they going to race if hardly anybody goes racing anymore?
      I’ll tell you how. They will still race around the racecourses because they won’t be racing around the M25.
