All good so far but then today John liked one for the win and in the 6 horse field I liked it for the place @ $2. It ran 3rd. My other bet missed the place , 5th I think. while my last bet was scratched but I had taken it all up in doubles and trebles with the other two. In this situation the scratched horses is considered a one dollar winner so because all the other selections missed the doubles and trebles involving the scratched horse stood. Goodbye two doubles and a treble or $300 in my case. The tonight, well you know I have trouble typing becuase my eyes don’t coordinate any longer, well yet. I nearly got concussion whne I oipened the fridge door so hard I hit ,my head on the brand new fridge…another dent. I may be having a proble,m. No problem with winning bets so far but I will have to wtach it. On another tack, I just finalisse $26,000 I traded on the stock exchaneg on three stocks. My end proft after four weeks of closely monitoring the mrket has reulted in $1600 in profits, about maybe 5% if I am lucky. How much would you win on the punt in a single day turning over that much?? Well I recok a few hundred a day at least. WEorse still, th stockmarket profit is not recognised as gambling so I have to pay tax on that $1600, not so on the Racing profits, the Governmenet recognises that as a gamble!
