Default I just won and had to tell someone!

Hi All,

My once and only bet on the horses was today on the Melbourne Cup.

And to my amazement ... I actually won!

I just had to tell someone becuase this was my first ever official bet on any type of horse race - I'm so green I even had to get a friend to place the bet for me - I didn't know how!

The Horse was "Brew", and the win paid $17.80???

I have no idea how much I won but I'm thiking I'll get a good return on my $100 bet.

Anyway, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead and only bet my money on smarter races - like the race to make money in mail order!

Hope you back a winner too...

Heheh, congratulations!

It must be a thrill.... :)

Jason, I agree with you here especially! I think business, such as mail order, gives you the best odds of winning (when you know what you're doing)! :)

So if you like to win, it's a good game to play.... :)

I didn't know it was a race? But mail order can still offer an extremely good return as I'm sure you know!

If you put in the hard work, learn the techniques, monitor and watch the trends, you can stack all the odds in your favour - I've proved it over and over again, and what's more, hitting that winning advert, and watching the switchboard light up is still a bigger thrill than winning a bet on the Melbourne Cup - Why??

Because making a stack load of money from something you've designed and created makes you feel proud - and pride drives us to want to win!

That's my theory anyway..

Good profits to you all...

Default But ...

You only take calculated risks in mailorder ... if you do it right.
