Hello World

Hello to the world!

This is my first post on my new blog and would like to welcome all readers to it.

The blog which I plan to update on a near daily basis will follow my adventure as I try to make a living by betting and trading on horse racing via the traditional bookmakers and betting exchanges.

I have been involved in betting on horses for several years now and have always wanted to try and make a go of it full time as I feel I have the knowledge and ability to make it pay. Furthermore, I have been trading using the two main betting exchanges, Betfair and Betdaq for several years now on a part time basis. Mainly weekends and evenings.

Although I have a good knowledge of form I also use a few tipping services which I feel suit my style to help supplement my own personal selections.

As the title of the blog suggests I have been 'Credit Crunched'. I have lost my job and while I am in the process of getting a new one I will be trying what I have always wanted to do, betting and trading for a living. Hopefully I will be able to make this pay and not need to get a job ever again but in case that doesn't happen I am still looking for a new job but by the looks of how the economy and country is going I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Anyway I shall stop waffling on and hope you will join me on what is sure to be a roller coaster ride - hold on tight!
