Everyone else has one, so I thought it was time I got me a Blog, so welcome!

I have been a part-time professional Gambler for many years, and having completed 12 consecutive straight months of Profit in 2008, I now have the opportunity to "Go for it " Full-Time!!

On a personal level it's my dream job - no income tax, no VAT, no set hours, no politics, no boundaries on where or when you work, no limit to what you can earn - but it also means no safety net!! From a psychological perspective, that makes it a whole new ball game (no pun intended). Will it work? There's only one way to find out. Sometimes you've just got to do the scary things to check that you're still alive!

Although I will continue with my Horse Racing portfolio for the remainder of the year, the real fun begins on 1st January, when the ATP and WTA tours start up again. Tennis is my passion from a sports trading perspective!

I have set a target for January of £1500 from the Horses and £3000 from the Tennis, so lets see how things go.

If you want to know how I intend to go about it, download my free E-Book at www.bettingalchemy.com, which details exactly what I shall be doing.

I am also working with a couple of the professionals I mention on my website, to produce a detailed breakdown of the trading methods I employ on the Tennis, which we hope to publish mid January!

So - will I survive, or will I crash and burn? - keep "tuned in" to the blog to find out!

All the best

Paul

(Oh my God, what have I gone and done!)
