    Do You Expect to Win?

    Reading user comments leads me to believe that at least half the people here don't expect to win in the long run. It's okay if you don't win, but if you don't EXPECT to win, then why are you here?

    So, do YOU expect to win in the long run?

    I expect to win every bet I place. I expect to win daily...weekly...monthly...yearly. Does it happen? Well....not as much as I would like.

    I expect to maintain a 53% winning average year over year, thus making it profitable.
    Do I expect to win every bet.......... No.

    Sometimes there is more value with a long shot that has a small chance to win, over time this angle can be profitable.

    Perhaps I should have made that more clear. By "win" I simply mean do you expect to come out ahead, NOT do you expect to win your individual games.

    I expect to be marginally successful. I have no illusions of retiring on Sports betting winnings.
