Hi, I’m new to the forum. I’m trying to gauge the best way to bet on college and pro football. I’ve been recreationally playing college and pro games for a few years with online accounts, local bookies, and the occasional trip to vegas. I’ve never laid more than $220 on a game to date, but I’ve gotten increasingly sophisticated with my modeling and I’m ready to do this for real. I intend to play football lines almost exclusively – and to try to make a living doing it. I know how daunting this will be, so I am approaching the task with eyes wide open.
If I were to go to Vegas every weekend, what kind of action could I consistently get in the best casino sportsbooks? I’m not only talking about big games, but any game. Could I bet $5k on football spreads? I'm not talking about one time – I’m talking about every weekend.
I currently live in California. Is there a way that I can call in bets to vegas? What if I set up an LLC in Vegas and had a local phone number there?
I expect the overwhelming suggestion to be that I need to get some online accounts, but I’m nervous about the amount of money that I would be depositing and the riskiness of the deposit/withdraw transactions. What kind of limits do the best online books offer over the long term (let's assume/hope i'm a winner)?
Yes, I intend to pay taxes.
Thanks for the help!
