Cost of the Punt

[frisson]

In almost 30 years of punting, I've never seen punting prices go down. They've only either stayed stagnant or gone up.

I'd say forget about hoping for it to go down, what we need to be doing is earn more to eventually match the current price rise. Before that happens, you'd probably have to cut your punting by 33% instead.

Or completely dump the activity. I did 6 months without a punt earlier this year. I think that experience taught me that I can actually kick this habit. I found out how unimportant it was to me, at least at this stage in my life.

I did go on a bit of a binge 4 months ago that lasted for 3 months. If anything, that "relapse" (lol!) further emphasised to me how fleeting the whole punting experience was. I was often left thinking "maybe I could've used that money for something else instead?"

There are a lot of punters who no longer punt regularly due to the their living expenses like rent and food and petrol starting to ramp up

They are no longer happy to take a risk on a dud punt, and only visit the shops that have good recruiting and VFM
