no, the minute you start to make a clear profit whilst gambling selectivly the bookie will restrict you. the grade there customers on how the bet and there stakes plus also frequency of vistits. if you bet very selectivly and show profit you will be restricted to small stakes about £25. enough for you to have an interest but not to make a living.
if your good enough to do that i sugest you pursue a career in odds compilation, it pays very well.

If they are really good at it and have bags of luck, then yes. The serious money is made using accumulators, where winnings are rolled over from one race to become the bet on the next. A gambler would need nerves of steel for this, but the winnings can be huge. A small initial bet can bring a fortune, but you only need one result to go against you and you lose the lot.

Well the "bookies" must make a living out of it or they wouldn't bother which tells you that you most likely wouldn't make a living from gambling on horses unless you are a bookie.

can be achieved but you must go racing every day, be patient and somtimes not bet when cards are all big races. Stick to maiden and stake races, bet ew on horses 5/1 or more and be prepared for the biggest rollercoaster of your life m8. Good luck

Yes if they always pick the winning horse. Or winning the 'Scoop 6' but I wouldn't bother choosing it as a career.
