I've dabbled in the past and looked at 'systems' there's one in particular I would like to have a good go at but would need a starting bank of £1k that I'm obviously prepared to lose.
For now I'm happy doing matched betting. A few of us do it on here. I'm about £1.5k up from 6 months of leisurely paced matching. If I put more effort in I could have doubled that with ease.
Pretty sure the mods don't appreciate betting talk so I'll leave it there...

Its a good point.
He doesn't talk about it directly, but what I do know is he managed to quit his job and pay off a 300k+ mortgage within 2 years. She gave up work to do her masters a couple of years later, and they recently purchased a holiday home outright.

There is no 'they' with Betfair, I act as the 'bookie' and you take my bets
Disipline has taken some time for me to develop, The compulsion to chase losses within day are strong but I have a spreadsheet that shows me the bigger longer term picture by month and by year. Learning to lose and handle losing bets is one the key steps to success. I keep a close eye on my strike rate and average odds on my bets as well, if these are within tolerance then I know I am making money despite losing on any particular day. Mental strength is required for long term betting
I enjoy a bet, but know I'm going to be down overall but I'm fine with it.
I've said it before but it's like anything you enjoy and have "nothing" to show for it, like drinking. It's the experience you pay for and that's it.
Enjoy the wins and don't sweat the losses-this is a lot easier if you're betting what you can afford to lose.
I'll put £5/£10 a week on footy accumulators most weeks, the odd £20 on first goal/try scorer or result and will blast a couple hundred on a full day out to the races once a year-but that includes drinks and sometimes you come home with more than you left the house with....
It's when you start trying to make money that you come unstuck.
Match betting can be successful I believe, and you can make money at poker, which I was doing last year, but at the level I was playing I was having to play 8 tables at the same time and put in a massive volume of hands for a profit of less than £50 a week....also having to research hands played and keep up with new tactics/games, which turned it into a time consuming hobby-so I stopped as it felt like a job.

As an example I recall a gent having £200 on Alderbrook for the Champion hurdle at 50-1 before it had ever ran over hurdles. It eventually won that race at 5-1.
The largest bet I ever settled was £20k winnings on a £100 treble of John Dunlop Horses. The punter made me pay in cash , that was an interesting walk through Doncaster town centre with a Netto carrier bag with £20k in it.
There were plenty of folk who convince themselves they were "up" mind.
Right now I have £200 at 5/2 on Brexit so at least when I get up and the chumps have voted us out of the EU for no real reason, I'll have enough money to console myself with a little gassing.
I did a few years in bookies too, this is pretty much my experience too, there were two or three people that when they came in, I'd copy their bets at next doors bookies with as much cash as I could lay my hands on-including any rent money.....always paid off in fairness-this was down in Wantage many years ago, there's two big trainers within a couple miles.
