Um, the bettor hobbyist distinction is a s- cloudy image, and it's, it's almost nobody-- something that nobody talks about, um, in all the betting content that's online.
Again, you've got the sort of the mathematicians or the people who've been successful who think everybody is like that.
Um, you've then got the hobbyists who see green screens and things everywhere else and think it should be easy, and most people fall somewhere in the middle.
Um, I think that's deliberate.
Um, I think a hobbyist who believes they're a bettor is an extremely good customer for tips and, um, systems.
Um, so that ambiguity becomes commercially sort of useful.
Uh, the only person it doesn't become useful to is, of course, you.
Uh, so let's clear it up and be absolutely clear from the start.
This is not a hierarchy.
Being a hobbyist bettor is not a failure.
Uh, the UK is, is very much a country that enjoys punting, as, as do many others in the world, um, that's kind of under a bit of attack at the moment from certain departments.
Um, but betting for enjoyment, accepting the occasional loss as the cost of entertainment, um, not wanting to run a process, that is a completely legitimate way to engage with this.
It's a perfectly legitimate way for you to spend your money.
So, you know, a lot of people, I don't go to pubs and things anymore.
