One of the first questions for many. After all, you want to know if it's worth your while before you start. The answer is tough, purely because results can vary so much.

I averaged 42p a race, although that shows marked improvement. In my first three days of trading, I averaged just under 4p a race.
On the last day of trading on Betfair , I averaged just over 72p a race. Of the 48 people who started the competition, only nine ended up in profit. I am Grandthrax in the screenshot below.
