What could I expect to earn with Freedom Securities?

That depends on two things:…

  1. The amount of working capital you put into your business. Recommended Minimum Capital:
    • $10,000 for a $100 net return per race.
    • $20,000 for a $200 net return per race
    • $30,000 for a $300 net return per race.

    We stress that these recommended capital inputs and net returns are purely estimates and do not represent a guarantee of profit ratio.

  2. Your ability to follow the rules of the system.

Where does the money come from?

There is easy access to TAB accounts and all forms of racing are televised via TAB to our homes on… a daily basis. The result is a growing pool on every race. On Saturdays for example, the pool from which we work averages around $400,000 – $600,000 per race. This means that if we wish to work for say $3,000 per race we could do so. As this pool size rises, we could work for much greater profits. On public holidays and special occasions this would apply as well. However, the majority of people would be happy to earn say $1,000 – $2,000 per week during the week. This means working up to 3 hours per day most days, even a few evenings as well. With added experience the operator can move up the ladder to a much higher profit target at his/her own pace.

Where does this pool of money originate?

Today, right throughout Australia, we have countless outlets in the form of TABs, Pub Tabs, and Minitab’s,… as well as hundreds of thousands of Telephone Accounts.
It’s been estimated that the average person invests $10.00 each time they place a bet, so when we see $400,000 in a pool, this equates to around 40,000 people investing on that particular race. There are 3 Pools in Australia from which to work, not one.

What is the current ATO position regarding tax on winnings?

When you receive an amount of money from a gambling activity, the amount is usually not assessable income unless you are a professional gambler.…

In deciding whether someone is a professional gambler, the courts consider issues such as:

  • Whether the activity is undertaken in a business-like manner
  • Whether the person has specialist knowledge associated with that gambling activity
  • The scale of operations.

For further guidance, you can have a look at Taxation Ruling IT2655 – Income tax: betting and gambling – whether taxpayer carrying on business of betting or gambling.
This ruling can be accessed from our legal database. If you’re not sure what to do, you can apply for a private ruling.
