    We all lose money

    Has anyone ever won money gambling on sports. We all want to believe that we win but 99 percent of us all loose. Why are we all in denial. Its like a steriod head who will never admit hes on juice. Everyone I know has lost money.
    Any real superstars out there?

    What are you guys talking about? Winning is easy with all the resources provided to you now and days. SBR forums connects you to awesome users who post winners after winners. As long as you don't go all in every pay, you should make money.

    Put your money where your mouth is. You never answered Post #8345 in my MLB thread. If you doubt me, PM me and we can put the wheels in motion.

    I have not won a significant amount of money in about 2 years. I went on a heater during a college football weekend, and won close to 6K. Since then its been +$500 this, and -$300 that. Bums me out sometimes.

    That's the grind. You capitalize during the heaters which is when you make your money. The rest of the time you just have to grind it out and stay in the black. That's where the discipline comes in. You may need to go months just grinding it out for one hot week. However, as long as you don't get frustrated and go "all in" on some stupid play because you are bored with the grind then you can make profit at the end of the year.

    90% of people don't make money because they simply don't have bankroll discipline, myself included (although I made money on the NBA playoffs in 2011 and NFL last season with a bunch of teasers)


    Picking winners is not as difficult as people claim. There are plenty of people here who hit 53-60% ATS and even a few guys I have seen who hit 70% ATS over a 100+ sample size. I saw a guy the other day who hit 58% over a 500 play sample size. If Vegas was as efficient as people claim, you wouldn't have teams like the Dodgers, Cubs, Padres, Phillies and Tigers that have either outperformed or underperformed Vegas expectations by as much as 15-20 units already only a third of the way into the season


    The hard part is being consistent, betting small, not getting discouraged during a cold streak and trying to chase your money

    I'm going to take the liberty and change the title of this thread from:

    "We all lose money"

    to

    "All undisciplined, lazy, impatient people lose money."
