    Lost some when I started, but since I've actually been 'capping', have far surpassed what I've lost. Just had this convo at work the other day. Three of my buddies were bitching how they hit every now and then but are way down overall. I had to throw in "I'm actually up" just to rub it in a little

    Well up. Took a few years of futility and making lots of mistakes, but now that I know what I'm doing, sportsbetting will suppliment my income for a long time. I do my own capping on football and NBA second halves, and tail people way better than I for other sports. Discipline and money management are what 99% of people lack. Get that, and you're halfway there. Make sense?

    The majority of people who say so are most likely lying, I know I've lost quite a bit over the years. I try not to think about it hah

    I am up because I play what I know and play conservative... I am likely 54% lifetime so not some big pile of cash but not losing either. Stick with college FB and BB and that is it.

    No one who takes the time to post on here is up over their lifetime. Supplementing your income with betting on sports is laughable. Anyone sharp enough to come out ahead isn't spending their free time posting on a gambling forum. There's like .02% of gamblers who pick games at a success rate of 52-53%...do you really think those are all the guys who posted before me??

    this year is the first time we are up
    #1 we stopped betting parlays
    #2 we began to drop big games such as Iowa /Michigan State - Oregon Usc
    and to remind me of this
    we capped the game for 4 hours last night taking Florida State too big of a game for NC state
    rule of thumb in big games take the points and youll win more than half the times

    I started betting online back in 2000 and I can honestly say I have been winning enough to supplement my income....Would reallly make more if i can convince myself that i am NOT that good with baseball
