    Sports fanatic from Edinburgh. Horse racing my first love followed by cricket then football. First meeting was York at the Ebor meeting when an unknown horse called alleged beat the Derby runner hot Grove by ten lengths. Been hooked ever since.

    Hi all. Backer of horses solely, I don't trade, hate the way the game has gone, in particular, the way bookies are allowed to operate now. All Exchanges the same, now just cream off operations, now they don't even want winners because it's their money you're taking. Really makes me sad to think that nothing will change either.

    When money's tight and hard to get and your horse has also ran.

    When all you have is a heap of debt. A pint of plain is your only man.

    Hi, love horseracing especially National Hunt. Do dabble a bit on the flat though. Usually have a small bet on weekends. Love Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals.

    Thanks Edgt, not sure about my wisdom, but been betting since 1980's (late 1970's if including Grand National, small ew bets placed by my dad.) Done plenty of mistakes like chasing my losses. Yes losing sucks and prefer to win, but at the end of the day there are other things to life, and there's always another race to solve.

    Will try and add my opinion, when I've something to add. Also like to gather other people's opinions.
