I have started to become profitable after lots of lots of research and through betting on AFL and surfing. I'm looking to learn from a guru in relation to strategies and recording info. Perhaps even swap notes. Are there any legit gurus (not bullsh$t artists) who actually give lessons on sports betting?

#1. A poor grasp of basic probability theory and an unwillingness to discard superstition and replace it with a hard nosed statistical approach is the reason why most punters lose out.

anyway I will add.. that the pro punters are freak mathematicians. They input every little which variable into some formula, each variable has different weightings, and then it spits out odds.

Almost every professional racing punter i've ever read about was teaching the maths lecturers and actuaries how to solve their maths equations.

hey Nick, haha while my maths aint too bad I'm definately no mathmetician. Can do equations in my head quickly but that doesn't really count for anything in this game.

Horses definately aren't my game and h2h footy seems extremely difficult to make good money due to regular boilovers. I think i will stick with my AFL season bets and stick to what i know with surfing. The bookies no bugger all about surfing. They think that the top rated guys are best in all waves, when there are some longshots who are much better than the best guys in certain conditions. Makes for some great opportunities to cash in.

Or you could just follow us "mugs" in the "Back 30 1.20 winners" thread, we already have one poster at 30 winners in a row, and plenty more that have made it past 10 and even 20.

Success rate of the thread is rather large, I'd sayer over 90% now.
