    Easiest gamble there is... Sports , Casino , Horses , Poker ?

    Gotta be online Poker...

    Some people do the craziest stuff playing poker especially online - Betting into the Books or Table Games dont even compare

    Where else can you have a mathematical 70% winner , not a theoretical 70% , on one event/hand and have someone put you all-in on their come card ?

    Yelp... been hearing that since the beginning - Been proven cases where it's true with the provider/employees

    Been beaten so badly in live games that Sammy thought there was collusion also

    99% of the time - IMO - it appears online is shadier because of the # of hands seen per hr

    I find poker to be too much of a grind and don't really enjoy it. As for what I make money on, Football (NCAA/CFL) and horses. My basketball/hockey/baseball record is atrocious.

    Poker, but if you have no patience grinding away or don't enjoy it...heh then it's basically a 9-5

    Hard to say. Casino takes the least work because you could just get lucky as hell. Sports, poker and horses you have to study. But overall I day sports because it feels like it comes more naturally to me.

    I know good poker players who are terrible sports bettors, and know good sports bettors who are terrible poker players. Would say it's easier to make $ on poker than sports betting if you know what you're doing. One things for sure, Casino is the last option

    I am in a can't lose position with poker which is now funding my newly found sport betting habit. I absolutely have no fear of going all in weekly as I currently am knowing the points will come back automatically if indeed I do fail which is doubtful. Going all in gives me a shot at over 100K every week. Just started with football season and will have over 100K by year end thanks to poker.

    Gonna make 100k before end of year, "endless" points form poker (although less than many)....but still stiffing on 3k

    Just based on examples, it seems like poker is far easier than sports betting...but then again, poker isn't exactly gambling (or at least, if the way you play relies on gambling, you're not a winning player)

    You seem to get stiffed a lot judging from your posts. Do you have a list of stiffers and amount owed? Possibly make a thread in case I get in the loan business down the road.

    All my loans are documented, but in this case (and many others), the stiff in question doesn't owe me...just try to look out by publicizing it so the pattern of repeated scams doesn't get repeated

    This can be fixed by money management. And stop loss limits.

    There's no debate-- sports betting you are 90% betting against the books (and 10% betting against public) since the margin is so low, and the book exist because they make a lot of money. In poker you are betting 10-20% against the house (rake) and 80-90% against hopefully lesser skilled players. The margin is significantly larger in poker.

    Sports betting is more fun because after you place the wager you can choose to be as invested as you want in the games, whereas in poker you can't really lose your focus so it's much more of a grind throughout. However there's only so many games you can bet on, especially profitably (if at all), but if you play multi-table online poker you can have up to 500+ chances to win per hour.

    You are gravely mistaken. I know multiple real life examples who do this and have been doing it for a long time.
