He has lost his ass in the past week to a local. Only 1700, but to some people that's a whole helluva lot. The thing about sports betting is that you can't come into it wanting to make money. It has to become a hobby first. It's not like the lottery. You can actually win at this if you do what you're supposed to. I told him you have to make it a hobby before you make it a source of income. Then, you have to bet with your mind, not your heart. Last, you pick and choose your shots. If you follow the rules and invest your time, eventually you can win. The rewards can be great. But if you choose to not follow the rules, it could be devastating. I joke and carry on with you fuktards, but in the end I really don;t want to see anyone lose, but someone has to.
