- Veteran professional punter Alan Potts was one of our first #BettingPeople interviewees back in 2017. We caught up with him again to find out how the mop has flopped since that initial interview.
In Part 1, Alan talks about what has changed since 2017, why he’s stopped betting off course, why he’s dug his heels in regarding affordability, his favourite courses, his ability to get his bets on with the on-course bookies, his approach to finding winners and what sort of ‘non-winning’ form he’s looking for. - Zábava
Can't get enough of Alan Potts content, keep them coming 👍
Will this be the interview when Simon finally asks " what is a realistic profit on turnover figure ? " to a professional punter ?
Very true. The only question that really matters. But the saying goes never ask a man his salary.
you cant ask that question and even if they did why would you believe the answer because they are not incentivised to tell the truth . the answer is different for everyone but what is a realistic profit on turnover for other investments and compare , stock market i believe 10% is a figure most dont get . so if your making 10% you now know how much you need to stake to make the required amount to be your sole job . now all you have to do is find a bookie that will take that volume , hence the problem with bookies cutting stakes . he gives you clues in this , he tells you how many bets he has a year (250 ish) and he gives a couple of bet examples ( 4-500) he also says he doesnt like having to pay 20% on his pension withdrawls and says to draw out 40k he goes into the 40% tax bracket . 40% tax bracket is over 50k in earnings . interestingly 250 bets x 400 average stake is 100k a year out so i would estimate 10k plus profit because if drawing out 40k puts you into the 50k plus tax bracket there is 10k missing , which again falls into the 10% ROI which is very very good .
@richardhughes7640 That's a different question of course. I make 10% POT. What's my salary ? Who knows ?
Sadly the answer is it depends. I know pros who make 3-4% on turnover and pros who make 20% but ironically it tends to be those that win 4% who win more money in my experience.
@studoyle8185 3% on £1m is more than 20% on £1000 , so it all depends. What is your figure ? You seem to know professional punter friends around every corner.
Alan seems a good egg but that "seven monkeys in the Malcombe" was shocking aftertiming and needs to be reported.
