True that! You need a good bankroll to start with. Anything under 3.000 $/€/£ makes no sense for me, if you want to straight bet with 2% of your bankroll.
Out of 100 people only 2 will have decipline.
Because of lack in decipline and this implements the ability to take a loss f.e. Vegas and friends are making money.

hey guys i just wanna ask if casino winnings as well as sports betting winnings either landbased or online is taxable in the US?
if so, how can anyone make a living if his losing more than winning?Comment -
Jon - we dont get taxed on winnings here in UK (used to be a 9% levy on horseracing winnings but abolished many moons ago ) but I see what you are saying , It is difficult enough to keep ahead of the bookie without having the tax man waiting for you to bung him too , good point sir !!!!!!!

what if you have written the best computer program for sports wagering... i have done just that... over the coming months, ill be moving to doing this full-time...
it is all done with a program............ emotion, greed, none of that matters, you simply wager on the selected games each day and forget it...

so much about systems and models and 8900 pages of information to study each day.
anyone just NOT do this and go with their gut because they know all about a sport? mostly talking about soccer, because someone who's watched the sport their whole lives would know about the flow of a match and about the teams. NFL/NBA/CFB is 30 to 100 teams, impossible to follow all the teams all the time, thats where you get THIS ISNT EASY IT'S A 24/7 JOB from.
What if all I did on the weekends was watch EPL/Liga/Bundesliga/MLS and bet accordingly after studying a few things? Not so hard. I think people complicate themselves here.Comment -
Wait, it's impossible to follow 30 NFL teams but you can keep on top of EPL / La Liga / Bundesliga / MLS? Does not compute.Comment -
I know where your coming from Col , I only bet Horses and Football (soccer ) and being in Scotland you are correct to say after 40 odd years I dont have to study much on UK / Western Euro main leagues football , but the smaller leagues around the world and horseracing definitely takes up time on form / stats etc , Knowing teams in UK is great advantage yes m8 , but hey I luv the kick I get if I unearth a nice winner from 30 mins of input , dont you bud ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck folks !!!!!!!

I got two local book and two online books, of course, local books don't get tax and their limit is about high 2k max. I think that would be enough b/c I rarely bet that much for a game.Comment -
Because no computer model ever breaks down... I agree in principle with the professional mindset of not getting emotionally invested in the win/loss streaks, but if you think that you've found the goose that laid the golden egg in a computer model, you're in for a rough surprise. It's just not that simple.

NFL is possibly my most profitable sport and I'm a stinky euro commie who watches less than one game a week and sometimes reads headlines on NFL.com when checking my fantasy football team. It has lots of numbers and I love numbers.Comment -
I had two and a half points
1) Just because most people do something that doesn't mean it's a good idea
2) Watching a game is less important than people believe
2.5) If most people watch and lose, and I don't watch, clearly I don't lose.

people watching games usually have an illusion of control
they somehow think that the angles their one eyes see will be able to beat the combined wisdom and watching hours of millions that hammer the line into place
whatever you've seen is almost always incorporated into the line plus X number of additional things seen by everyone else. People watching with our human brains, which evolved in simpler establishing patterns to live times, end up over-laying what they think are unique patterns to give themselves what they perceive of as an edge.
My best results are in sports I never watch and hardly understand even.Comment
