Betting 4 A Living

[marcojuiceman]

so how did Billy Walters become so rich?

[truebluebear]

Yeah, you'll need around $100,000 to start with, need good infos and never bet more then 1% of your bankroll/bet.

Dunno if 100,000 required bud , but the best point you make is about money management and so many people just dont realise the importance of having a solid betting plan in place , 1% of your bank per bet IS SPOT ON and patience to let it build , we all want to be millionaires but the reality is if you can turn a monthly profit you are doing extremely well , good post Tomahawk .. GL Guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sawyer]

Definetely, 100,00$ IS NOT REQUIRED.

You don't need 100k to get started.

Not even close. You could comfortably start with 1/4 of that, IMO.

I started with a 10k bankroll a year ago. it is now 60k, betting 2.5% of my bankroll. i do purchase picks through statsportpick.com and on money line bets look to make 1/2 original bet if it looses .

I'm pro and am upset daily that I can't bet 5x this much on certain plays.

for real??? or are you just a tout promoting that fking website??

anyway, i also believe that 100k is not required. for as long as you know how to do proper money management and make profit each and every month no matter how small it is, then youre on the right track

Betting 4 a PAYMENT

Really, the thought of betting for a living is enticing for many. Its a huge long shot to actually have that type of skill and (most importantly) luck. Like going to the moon and stars!

Many of us travel by airplane and ride high into the skies, but only a select few actually have reached the moon. Eventually we allll come down from our trip (plays) and hope for a nice landing (versus a horrendous CRASH!!!). And then, we take another flight hoping for a smoooth ride

Why not bet for a payment? Start small..

groceries
electricity bill
something special for a loved one

and then, if you're really lucky...

pay off your car
(my favorite) buy your home outright <---anyone living in a paid home is a KING! Most never attain that.

Make sportsbetting a hobby not a habit or necessity. Have fun with it, but don't depend on it. Unless you inherit a life worth, most wealthy individuals have several streams of money flowing from several avenues. So when you're running with a bad streak (which WILL happen), where do you go if sportsbetting is your only source of income?

Grab a system and stick with it until you need to change. There are some great advices in this forum, but sportsbetting for a living.........a huge gamble.

ANY BET CAN MAKE ONE RICH, BUT THE SAME BET CAN BREAK ANOTHA! Funny but true. To me, thats the most exciting aspect in why many like doing this. The chance to become wealthy.....and a dream for many. Like myself.

so how did Billy Walters become so rich?

Man, that cat has a whole syndicated operation going on. And he's clever, so clever that most books/casinos don't even want him in the building. Most of us couldn't create a setup like that. First, you would need several trustworthy comrades. No need to go to the 2nd or 3rd, because that in itself would be hard to accomplish.

maybe i am on a winning streak with them, all i know is in past years i have lost money following all types of systems and have had no luck with other cappers. if you know of a better handicapper please let me know. i appreciate any advise.

That site has only been in operation since May 25, 2011. How did you build up your bankroll in the 11 months prior?

when i was in vegas 1 1/2 years ago a friend of mine used them. they cater to high rollers mostly from Boston, and New York. The online website is new for them. I don't know how they do it, but i do know the MLB season does not start until May, NBA in Dec. and they don't have many NFL picks.

[jolmscheid]

I agree with you guys...you either have to follow a capper that the masses don't know about or you have to have a system yourself....and what bolt said is also correct in that many "pros" have multiple streams of income.

[goucla]

its about discipline mostly especially when winning

[ForgetWallStreet]

Lots of non pros speculating on what it takes to be a pro ITT.

[johncrud]

making 1.5k per month is easy. you just need to look for "lock" plays such as roger federer vs some unseeded players (putting 10k to win 100 bucks) it wont take too long before you can retire at some resort or bangkok poking girls all day long..

[wiffle]

most of the people posting in htt need to be exiled

[BlastByou]

you definitely dont need 100K to get started. as far as im concerned all you need is $1

[Badgers13]

i agree 100%

[bozeman]

100k is something a bookmaker would say you definitely need to be successful - cause most people would lose it - the more you lose - the more they win.

so if federer lost, it would take you 100 games just to break even assuming that you would pull a 100 game winning streak on huge favorites.

sorry dude but you just posted the most stupid advice in the SBR forum.

[bettorjon]

oh yeah? just $1 and hope to make a living out of it? what would you do? throw a 100 team parlay?

risking $1 for every game that you play is different targeting a $1 profit per game or starting with a $1 bankroll.

This thread is going downhill and there is no question about that. There are, however, some valid points in here,but you're going to have to dig them out. Is there money to be made? Yes. Is it easy? No. Are you going to get a road map? No.

Screw that, I just want the ?pho? in your avatar

[magynuck]

it is interesting to see the advice dispensed by people who do not bet 4 a living as to what they believe is needed to be a professional

[BDiddy]

No kidding... Its like a fish telling you how to be a pro poker player... C'mon man.

-I can tell you one thing, you should learn statistics and some basic computer programming and you can make a lil extra cash. Everyone wants to run before they crawl.

if anyone on here is thinking about recruiting the help of a handicapper service, DO NOT go talk or deal with this sorry bunch of losers. If anyone on here has ever heard or dealt with these lowlife losers they can back me up. If not make sure NOT to. They are nothing but a bunch of liars, cheats, and thieves. They have a loser named Tim Kennedy working for them who is a real piece of trash so if anyone receives a call from anyone representing using these names, hang up and DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!

actually these losers are not that bad at all. in fact, they can be your lucky charm. just fade all their plays. if they hit 40% and below then youll be a millionaire in no time.

[JustinBieber]

If a monkey can hit 50% so can a retarded **** selling plays. Hitting 40% is near impossible on a -110/-110 spread.
