How do people really make money doin all of this?

[mattirawks]

I've been playing around with horse betting for bit now, and always thought it could lead to me leaving my job and workin from home, makin a nice income.

But all i have ever done is lost money, never really gained any.

Now obviously people out there must be making a living from horses, but i just cant see how...it all seems so hit and miss, and it really gets me down, because there must be something out there that works!

any help or ideas would be really appreciated guys.

Thanks alot

3 Questions:
1) how long have have you been betting?
2) what systems/selection methods have you used?
3) do you have a staking plan and betting bank?
