"I have never had so much success (or fun) with the punt. Thanx heaps and great
punting to all!”
"I am very appreciative of the efforts that go into producing this outstanding information."
The secret of successful punting is to find
some angle that nobody else has found and milk it for all it’s worth
before it’s discovered by all and sundry. This angle can and will be
found in data that is freely available to everyone and yet overlooked by
most, if not all of them. As the saying goes – there are none so blind
as those who will not see.
That’s probably being a little bit
harsh, as what we’re looking for is not going to be in bold type or have
flashing lights drawing attention to it. No, it will be something just
lurking below the surface, which will mean that you have to scratch
around a bit to get at it, convert it to cash, and then line your
pockets with it. Oh well, dreams are free.
