    How long have you been in this game?!?!

    Hey Guys!! How long have you been in this game? The game of investing in sports. Please share your experiences and adventures. Tips would be great too. I have been investing in sports for 4 months now. Full time. I decided to go all in after unsuccessfully trying to find a decent job over the summer, right out of college. My journey in this game has been great and I plan on keep going this way. I'm in better financial status than most of my peers and I love everything about investing in sports. I hope to make friends here and explore the forums more.

    I started with sportsbetting a few years ago just when i signed up with sbr.
    Only played poker before but got sick of it and moved to sportsbetting.
    Took me a while to figure everything out but then took a few square books for 10 000 each.
    I was only 19 or 20 @ that time and spend most of the money for drugs whores and parties.

    Also lost some big bets betting on some hot russian tennis chicks during french open.

    Took me a while to get over that, but nowadays im focusing on my career and do sportsbetting recreationally most of the time.

    Haven't made money over a long period of time until this year. Coincidentally this is the first year I've put work into my picks. Up roughly 80 units on the year, most of it actually posted on here.

    I'd say about a year and a half.

    It feels like a lifetime though.

    Sports betting is a tough racket.

    ....No aspirations to quit the game, spit your game, talk your shit, grab your gat, call your clique, squeeze your clip, hit the right one, pass that weed, I got to light one....

    It's impossible to read those words without rapping them.

    Damn, this thread has sent me on a Biggie Smalls bender. It's fantastic.

    Cannot believe it's been that long.

    Sports gambling will definitely outlast any and all short term pleasures of whatever musical taste. Then a time may come when you ask yourself how you ever listened to some of the stuff you once thought you couldn't live without. And you'll continue looking at that days action.

    Pop culture is fleeting. Gambling never dies.
