"The sums are huge. To earn the average annual UK salary of £26,500, one would need a bankroll of around £150,000. That is because the best most punters can hope for is a return of investment between 3-4 percent".

What's the best ROI you can expect from trading ?
You've actually highlighted the only line in the piece I thought was bs. You can make that amount with a bank of less than a thousand if you turn it over enough.

3-4% sounds like the top end. But RoI like 'strike rate' is vanity, it's RoI * Turnover that pays the bills.

Ye, you can make a thousand with a bank of 2 quid on an inplay market like racing

All depends

No, didn't mean any outlier stuff

Although you would have to use a different strategy at times but still possible

Would have to be an extremely conservative approach at first to safely build up the bank to workable levels over the first several markets and then slowly take on more risk and switch things up

Exactly what I thought but I thought I would throw the "outlier" in.
Slowly, slowly catch a monkey is the way to do it
