Well when I'm winning a lot I like to think I'm a pro haha. What's a pro? Someone who makes a solid/steady income from gambling? Well I definitely have my up's and downs. In this thread when I started I was red hot in both tennis and NBA, that's how it got so big, so quick. Then I went through a phase around Jan/Feb where I just sucked in both Tennis and NBA, and all the trolls set up shop in here, and people started hating on me because they had heard the hype from others and then jumped on board in time for my losing streak (poor bastards), so I took an extended break, but since I have been back I have been doing really well in NBA and pretty decent in most other sports. I definitely don't make (or wager) as much as some, and my consistency is a lot rockier than I would like it to be, but I do win more than I lose and that puts me in the top 6-8% so I like to think of myself as semi-pro.
I do have a job, it's nothing special but it pays well and it's perfect for me. I work as a security guard doing 12 hours shifts where I have a ton of spare time to do all my research on sports (and get paid for it). So for those that wonder how can he possibly follow so many sports, or think I'm just a dart chucker, or whatever, good for you, fade me then, I care not. I'm also obsessed with sports period, probably more so than anyone you have ever met in your life. I don't even know why I go to so much effort in this thread to be honest? I kind of enjoy it, especially now that fukctards like Daimo, King Danillo and Kenny M have left. Doing write ups and then re-reading my own thoughts on screen definitely helps me sharpen my thinking in regards to why exactly I am making a certain play.
