    Convince me I can't make 100k/year off sports betting

    You might remember me from threads last year


    I basically was asking, "given a 70% ATS rate and 90% Lock Rate", how much can one expect to make per year in sports betting. The responses given were not really what I asked. They concentrated more on the hit rate rather than the question of making money given that hit rate. Nonetheless, I was still able to get good feedback amongst all the garbage replies on how to actually make money.


    Now the more informed know that making money long-term isn't as easy as winning and hitting 70%. Now the plan is like this,

    a) Spread your money off between sportsbooks. 1 or 2 might cut off action because you win so much. The most legit ones are Bookmaker and Greek and 5Dimes. Besides for these, use matchbook, a betting exchange. They don't care how much you win, they will not cut off your action.

    b) Obviously bankroll is big if you want to make 100k. The plan here is 50k will be needed to bring a steady income of at least 100k per year. Where will that 50k come from? Well, 1 you can deposit it from your income from other places. But 2, you can get to 50k by continuously hitting 70% and winning. Eventually you will get to 50k.


    Now the question is what is the limit? 100k should be easy with these 2 and hitting at high rates. That is a question that even I don't know the answer too. We'll see.








    Anyways, for those wondering, I did make my own NFL thread this year. I made one after Week 4 after getting a good sense of the season. In my thread(s), I posted an average of about 5-10 plays per week, and hit 70% straight ATS overall for the season. My Locks went 6-1 for the season, the only loss being that miraculous Titans Thursday Night Football last second of the game cover. 2 years ago I went 7-0 in LOCK NFL picks (also documented). And remember, this is all in my SSK NFL Thread(s), which I started Post Week 4 and on. Overall, the bankroll had well over a 100+% increase playing smart money management. It was "given 100k" type thread, ending with well over 200k. And its not like I just hit 70% this year, I have been dong this for years.



    So there you have it. Given 70% long-term rate, and my plans, how can you not make 100+k per year off sports betting?

    nominated this post as being the biggest BS post of the year so far in 2011. even by SBR standards, the BS might be too much to handle
