Good luck with this Owl, you are one of the very few posters who I actually think could make this work. I remember your column was nearly had a big priced winner every week. Hopefully that trend will continue

Good luck Owl.

Was thinking while I read the racing thread on RP site charges that surely you would be able to offset that cost as a business expense

Just thought I should give you all a quick update on this. Rather than type out a whole new post I'll just copy in a PM I sent to Alan the other day after he asked me how things were going;

Quote:
Hi Alan

Hope you're well.

Have put the pro gambling plans on hold for a bit. Had a few unforseen outgoings in the past month and basically just don't think I have a big enough 'bank' to confidently go pro. So I'm sticking with my job for a couple more months and reviewing the situation then.

Also, I took a bit of time off work a few weeks ago to have a 'trial period' of pro gambling. And although I did OK financially I have to say I didn't particluarly enjoy it. Just found I was a bit bored! And found it a bit depressing sat around on my own all day.

So I guess I'll just see how I feel in a couple of months time. As I mentioned on the 'Going Pro' thread I'm also starting to make plans to set up my own business, and that is my main priority. Although I think I could make a success of pro gambling, I just don't know if it's worth doing it in my current circumstances.

So all in all, I've not a clue what I'm doing or going to do! At a bit of a crossroads as they say  

Thanks for asking anyway

I think its sensible to have a decent bank Owl. Hopefully the business takes off anf you can go semi-pro at least.
