Living of your bankroll using the Kelly criterion

I know it is POSSIBLE to make 10,000 bets a year but what is your average +ev for those bets and how many different sports are you covering. Are there that many bad lines out there?

do we count weekend batches of teasers as separate bets or as one

2,000 hours of work per year doing 40 hours for 50 weeks

5 bets per hour worked for 10k bets per year

yeah, some of you need to try harder if you're not getting 5 bets per hour (or, pick better hours to get your bets in)
