    Theory and practical application don't always get together. One thing for sure: you have to control your emtions when losing and be in check with your expectations in the long run. And the pressure of doubling your roll every 3 month after you built it up (theoretically) to 10k (e.g.) could very well be a false expectation.
    In theory doubling 100 to 200 should be same as doubling 100k to 200k but I think (not that I experienced it) that the emotional factor kicks in after you reach 100k so it will be more difficult, I assume.

    There will be no emotional factor when I look at the results of over 5k picks which are profitable month after month, year after year. If one can get to 100k, he should be 100% able to get 200k with confidence.

    Your optimism is blinding you. Good luck but deciding to be a professional sports bettor right out of college is possibly the dumbest move you can make, unless you've already been doing it for years and have been profitable, which I doubt is try given the way u speak.
    My advice: get a real job because reality is gonna smack u in the face and its not gonna be pretty. To say you'll have no emotional attachment and its so easy speaks to the immaturity and tough road u will face.

    I went busto several times due to insane overbetting and doing all kinds of stupid shite, but ever since I learned my lessons I'm going steadily up. Check out my MLB thread for example. http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...-money-p5.html You don't get those kind of results by luck. After MLB season ends I can't wait for NBA/College hoops. Besides that I do several hours a day of live betting on most major sports, which has been very profitable over several hundreds of picks, which rules out luck as a factor.

    Alright rule out the luck factor but in to long run you will have deviation(s) from the expected value, which will affect your roll as well. To went bust in the past and know how to handle those situations doesn't protect you from variance.
    What I am just saying is when you really want to do this for the long run you better lower your expectations cause I think doubling your roll every 3 month no matter how large your roll will get are not realistic.

    Anything is possible. Betdsi gave me a $25 free play with no rules other than use it all. I've flipped that into well over $200 in less than a week following certain guys in the forum.

    You are never going to make it this way.

    You started with $100. All you had to do is go all in 4 times. And you would have $1600
