Started betting small back in 1997, just for fun and in the end lost money. Made pretty much every possible mistake and mainly bet parlays.
Took it more serious about 3 yrs ago and for 2yrs now I got to the point, where I won more than I lost, although 2011 got off to a rough start
@Dante: At least you were born, when that crazy cat started betting....I wasn't even born (and it's not even remotely close), when BAS started betting. But that guy doesn't like to be called "old", I guess he prefers something like "experienced" @)
